291. Sales against the sky
These players can't be considered ordinary players, so their desire to buy and purchase data can't be taken seriously, and what really needs to be seen is the sales data after most players have cleared the first chapter and the free 24-hour game.
After staying in the company for a while and waiting for the game to be successfully launched, Zhou Fangyuan was ready to go home.
Knowing the news of his sudden return, Zhou's father and mother were very happy, they went home early, and the family of three had a big meal at home.
The mother is responsible for cooking, the father is responsible for the hands, and Zhou Fangyuan is on the side to help clean up the things, and the family is happy.
After eating and chatting with his father for a while, Zhou Fangyuan was ready to go back to his room to sleep.
However, as soon as he lay down, his cell phone rang. When I picked it up, it was the third brother who called.
Call at this time......
Zhou Fangyuan picked up the phone, and before he could speak, the third brother on the other side couldn't wait to shout.
"Fatty, it's gone, let's send it!"
"What do you mean, third brother, you say slowly, what do you mean. ”
Zhou Fangyuan was a little confused by the third brother's words, and he asked subconsciously.
"What else can there be?game,Our game has sold 620,000 copies so far.,Fat,It's 6.2 million.,It's been sent.,We've really sent !!."
The third brother shouted excitedly.
Zhou Fangyuan was also stunned.
620,000 copies?
One day?
This...... Impossible, right......
He thought in disbelief.
"Can you be sure it's accurate?"
Zhou Fangyuan asked.
"Of course, I also went downstairs to ask, and the statistics are exactly the same, absolutely no problem. ”
The third brother said quickly.
The downstairs in his mouth is the floor where Alipay is located, and there is no doubt that at present, as long as the network payment is related to Zhou Fangyuan's industry, it is all completed by Alipay. He also settled the company's employees to make separate statistics on the remote game side, and it was important to demand the accuracy of the data. Then if it is confirmed that there is no problem after checking the information of both parties, then it is really no problem.
Zhou Fangyuan put his mind at ease, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
6 million is not a small number, more importantly, "Plant" can sell 600,000 copies in one day, such data can only show one problem, that is, "Plant" is on fire!
……
Yes, "Plants vs. Zombies" became popular and quickly spread to the whole country with the momentum of a prairie fire.
Relying on QQ's publicity and relying on Blizzard's battle network, when it was launched for 24 hours, the sales data was close to one million, and the sales were nearly 10 million. And this game from development to launch, a total of less than two or three million spent, including rent, labor costs, server costs, etc.
In terms of games, in one day, almost all Internet cafes across the country have this game. Either they have all of them, or some machines have them, but I have to say that from the perspective of Internet cafes, the game "Plants vs. Zombies" has also spread all over the country.
From 4 to 50 to teens, the game has more than three million players. At this time, if someone goes to an Internet café, what they see is not guns or all kinds of other games, but a war between a water of plants and zombies.
Players who play the game are addicted to it and can't extricate themselves, and those who haven't played it will look at it for a while, and they will also ask curiously, and then the influence of "Plant" began to spread rapidly.
Three days after its launch, the number of players of "Plant" has exceeded five million, and the sales figure has reached as many as 2 million, after all, ten yuan is really not expensive, basically as long as you are a person who participates in the work, you can afford to smoke one less box of cigarettes. Even students who are not working can play the free version of the content. It's also a kind of propaganda, and as long as one person learns about the game, it can reach more people.
Within a week of its launch, the number of players of "Plant" officially exceeded 10 million, and now there are less than 20 million netizens in Huaxia, basically one of the two netizens is playing this game, and the number of sales is also more than 3 million, and the profit for distant games is at least 20 million. Such data is really scary.
Various media began to report on this "miracle" of the Chinese Internet, and many media have openly made the hospital game the first company of Huaxia game. Even CCTV reported on it on the fifth day of the game's launch, and although it was only for a few seconds, it was already remarkable. After all, Plants is just a computer game, and it's one of those less elaborate little games. Although Zhou Fangyuan has always had particularly strict requirements for the development team during the development of the game, limited to the game theme, development time and investment funds, this game cannot be compared with those masterpieces in any way.
But such a seemingly shoddy game has sold more than three million copies, and many Internet companies that are more established than distant games may not have so many paying users combined.
The distant game has made a name for itself, the game has been a big hit, and everything is going in a good direction.
On the seventh day of the game's launch, Zhou Fangyuan held a celebration party in a hotel near the company, and the development team from Baodao was praised by Zhou Fangyuan, as well as a lot of bonuses, from the team leader Chen Guangting to the most ordinary programmer below, everyone got a minimum of nearly 50,000 yuan. This is 50,000 yuan, in this era, 50,000 yuan can buy a house, if it is put in more than ten years, it is worth at least four or five hundred thousand, such a bonus is definitely high, although compared to the profits they create for the company, these money are not worth mentioning, but Zhou Fangyuan is so generous, he took out two million bonuses to people at once, which still makes these people excited.
People from other companies also participated in the celebration party, and they watched Zhou Fangyuan throw a lot of money, and they were also red-eyed, and they hated that they were one of them.
And the deepest feeling, there is no doubt that the developers of the "Big Talk" group, Mr. Zhou took a few days to come up with an idea, and it was such a great success when it was made into a game. The game created by their "Big Talk" development team has invested millions of yuan before and after, and it is still a project that Mr. Zhou focuses on, and they are looking forward to the scene after the big talk is launched, and at the same time, they silently warn themselves in their hearts that they must make greater efforts, if nothing else, just for the celebration banquet and bonuses at that time, and they have to invest all their energy.
The celebration banquet was noisy until late, and Zhou Fangyuan left the hotel at more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and sitting in the car, he dialed Mike's phone directly.
Because "Plants" is actually sold at home and abroad, he also wants to see how "Plants" is sold abroad.
On the phone, Mike seemed to be busy, it was still daytime, and it was time to go to work.
Zhou Fangyuan made a phone call, Mike was too busy to talk to him, he could only hang up the phone after saying a few words helplessly, but he told Mike that he must tell him about the sales situation in the United States after he was busy.
Then Zhou Fangyuan fell asleep, turned on the computer and started playing the game, and waited for almost an hour before Mike's phone came again.
As soon as the call was connected, Mike began to report on the situation of the company during this time. Several of Blizzard's games are like that, after launching some new features, they also sold some sales, but the total amount is not much, and foreign players do not seem to be interested in additional services, they are more accustomed to buying games directly. When talking about "Plants", even Mike couldn't help but sigh, "BOSS, this game of yours is so powerful, you may not know that on the day the game was launched, we sold a million copies on our side, which is more violent than the sales momentum of Diablo II." ”
"And now?"
Zhou Fangyuan asked.
"Today is the sixth day of the launch, and the game has sold 3 million copies before I call you, and the sales figures have been declining in the past few days, and we are ready to carry out a wave of preferential sales, and then increase the sales volume, you see......"
"No problem, you can decide what you want. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said softly, the corners of his mouth had already reached the root of his ears.
Hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but clench his fist.
Three million, three million again, according to five dollars for a game, this is fifteen million dollars, which is more than 100 million and soft sister coins, and it is only about 30 million sold in China, and abroad, this amount has directly tripled. And the foreign market is currently larger than the domestic market, the future income will definitely rise, he vaguely remembers that the game made a profit of 200 million yuan in the previous life, but the domestic market at that time basically did not make money, and the money at this time is much more valuable than the later generations, such a good start, it is definitely enough to make the distant game gain a firm foothold in the global market.
Although it is still not comparable to those big companies, as a new company, it is already a miracle to have such an achievement. And not to mention that Zhou Fangyuan still has a lot of popular games in his head, as long as these games are taken out and occupy a huge share in the international market, there is absolutely no problem.
With such hope, Zhou Fangyuan finally fell asleep on the bed.
He didn't know that after a few days of fermentation, "Plant" had caused a sensation abroad. Blizzard Battle.net is not only facing the United States market, but the entire Western country can directly download and log in to Battle.net, but the payment methods of other countries are different, so a lot of data has not been counted, otherwise this data will be even more terrifying.
Plants is facing markets in multiple countries at the same time, causing a wave in each market, and media from all over the world have begun to scramble to cover the game Plants vs. Zombies.
