"PUBG" is on fire!

In just 24 hours on Steam, 150,000 copies were sold, and sales exceeded $12 million in three days.

It has attracted more than 4,000 streamers on the Twitch platform, and many streamers have also appeared on major live streaming platforms in China.

Judging by the data given by Steamspy, China is by far the third largest number of purchasers, accounting for 7% of the total number of players.

In terms of the number of game participants, there are no less than 80,000 online players every day, second only to Dota and CSGO, and firmly ranking among the top three on the Steam platform.

After Zhang Yida received the news, he flew to Seoul as soon as possible.

The reason why it took so long to go live was because more R&D funds and time were invested than in previous lives.

This was specifically requested by Zhang Yida.

In his previous life, Blue Hole didn't expect PUBG to explode, so he didn't make this game with any intention at all.

Problems such as the proliferation of plug-ins and server freezes, the popularity quickly declined after a period of growth.

This has to be regretted, a good cornucopia was smashed out of a big hole.

Zhang Yida believes that under his strict standards, PUBG in this life will definitely be able to go further than in his previous life.

Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

A group of employees wearing Blue Hole cultural shirts are standing at the door, waiting for the arrival of the big boss.

Surrounded by four bodyguards behind him, as well as assistant Song Caiwei and others, Zhang Yida walked out of the elevator.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a large group of people greeting me at the door of the company, wearing a unified company culture shirt, and holding various signs such as "congratulations" and "congratulations".

Kim Chang-han, the current CEO of Blue Hole and the former founder and chairman of Blue Hole, stepped forward and said with a happy face: "President, we have developed a great game this time!"

It's only been a few days since it was launched, and it has such good results. If this trend can continue in the future, it will definitely be able to top the Steam platform. ”

Zhang Yida patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have also worked hard, if you can achieve better results in the future, I will reward the management team with a huge prize." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yida turned his head to look at the other employees, "Everyone has also worked hard! When the results are completely stable, we will reward the meritorious deeds at that time!"

"Oh oh ~ thank you, President!"

"Long live the president!"

"Thank you to the company!

A group of Korean programmer apes cheered as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

A trace of gloom flashed in Jin Changhan's eyes, originally this honor and cheers belonged to him.

But he short-sightedly sold the blue hole, and the price was only 200 million US dollars, which is really regretful.

It's not just yourself who regrets it, but also the group of short-sighted venture capitalists!

Zhang Yida walked to the corner of the company hall and saw the game's chief designer Brydon Griney yawning!

Zhang Yida did not blame him for being rude and not coming to greet him, the hierarchical corporate culture of Japanese and Korean companies is different from the corporate culture of Europe and the United States that advocate freedom.

The company employees in Japan and South Korea are all like social animals, and when they see the section manager and the president, they nod their heads and keep nodding.

Europe and the United States are different, especially in game companies, where subordinates often call their superiors by their names.

"Oh, Boss, you're here! Congratulations, you've got a successful game!"

Zhang Yida smiled, "Congratulations too! From now on, you will become a world-renowned game development master!"

"Game Development Guru! I love that title!"

Zhang Yida said again: "Man, we are only taking the first step to success now, and we can't relax yet!"

If the server is stuck, and there are cheats, we must pay more attention!

While making money, we must provide players with an enjoyable gaming experience!"

"For your last sentence, you deserve to make money!" Grini joked humorously.

Zhang Yida and Greney walked side by side, towards the inside of the company, followed by a large group of employees.

Jang Yida turned his head to look at the staff behind him and said loudly: "Let's get off work early today!

Remember, dress up handsome, I heard that there are a lot of beautiful women there, and there are Korean artists!"

A group of social animals cheered again, they had all heard the name of ANSWERCLUB, but they were reluctant to pay for consumption!

Well, tonight's consumption is paid by the big boss from China!

Zhang Yida called Grini and the company's CEO Jin Changhan and other executives to the conference room.

"When are the mobile games going to be launched?" Zhang Yida sat down and asked about the mobile game in the first sentence.

"Actually, it has already been developed at the same time as the terminal game, but I recommend waiting. ”

Jin Changhan explained, "At present, the growth momentum of our mobile game is very rapid, and I think we should wait until the mobile game is firmly at the top of the list and has a solid reputation before launching a mobile game.

In this way, some users who are tired of playing terminal games can also switch to mobile games.

Now our promotion focus is still on the terminal game, as long as the terminal game is famous enough, you can save a lot of effort when promoting the mobile game. ”

"Okay, let's do it!"

Jin Changhan's expression moved, and he said: "I heard that the president's industry in China includes several live broadcast platforms and short video platforms?

China is a big game market, and if the chairman can mobilize his resources to help PUBG promote it, we will definitely achieve better results. ”

"No problem, I will arrange for Douyu, Station B, and people from Doushi to come over and talk to you about cooperation.

In addition, I also have a short video platform called North America and Europe, which can also help PUBG to promote ......"

After negotiating with the company's help in the promotion of PUBG, Zhang Yida said: "Do we have to organize an e-sports club? In addition, the PUBG Global E-sports Challenge can also be organized." ”

"Hey, that's a good idea! League of Legends has global competitive events, and we should have them too. ”

Griney, who doesn't like to talk much, spoke and agreed with Zhang Yida's approach.

Jin Changhan frowned, "Organizing global e-sports events can indeed increase the popularity of the game and strengthen user stickiness."

But we don't have enough popularity and players at the moment! Even if we do, the scale won't be too big, I think we have to slow down!"

"A game that sells 150,000 copies in three days will definitely sell tens of millions of copies in the next six months or a year.

I think we can start preparing, after all, it takes time to prepare.

Prepare for a few months, early next year, and start the competition directly!"

Griney is so confident in the game he develops that he seems to have seen it become a global hit.

"I agree with Grini that it's time to start preparing. I asked all of my live streaming and short-form video platforms to help PUBG start warming up. ”

Zhang Yida looked at Jin Changhan, who was frowning, and said with a smile: "Be confident, we have to have confidence in the game we developed!"

"I just think...... What if things don't go as expected in the later stages of PUBG?

We put up the rack early on, didn't that become a joke?

Not only will you lose money, but you will also become the laughing stock of the industry!"

Kim Chang-han put forward a different view, and in his opinion, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

After all, the game has only been on the shelves for a few days, and the ghost knows what the situation will be next?

Although there is a high probability that it will not hit the street, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case?

"President Kim, don't worry! Let's start preparing! I'm not afraid of the president, what are you afraid of?"

Jin Changhan no longer dissuaded, anyway, he has already done his business.

Besides, now the company is not its own, and its profit and loss have little to do with it.

The only thing that matters is that if the game sells better, you can get more bonuses.

Then, Zhang Yida cared about the server again and asked them to lay a few more sets of server units.

Repeatedly emphasize that user experience comes first, and don't sacrifice user experience in order to save money.

Jin Changhan was a little unimpressed, in his opinion, China's chairman Zhang is too bad at doing business.

Isn't it to make money by opening a game company?

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, the money that can be saved must be saved.

But it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't bother to persuade again.

Whatever Zhang Yida says, he supports it. Since people don't feel sorry for money, what do you still feel sorry for, spend it hard!

At night.

ANSWERCLUB, 537 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu.

Amid the deafening music, countless coolly dressed women danced on the dance floor.

The private room on the second floor is much quieter.

Zhang Yida raised his glass and said to a group of Blue Hole executives next to him: "Come, a toast to everyone!" Congratulations on the development of Blue Hole is getting better and better, the company is developing well, and everyone's welfare is indispensable!"

A group of Koreans were toasted by Zhang Yida, and they were all flattered and echoed:

"We will work hard to repay the president's kindness!"

"Go higher, come on!"

On the other side, the box of the low-level program ape was much rougher, and after a few glasses of horse urine, everyone was a little fluttery, and they all started to play wine table games with red faces.

There were also some apes who couldn't hold back and went downstairs to the dance floor to play.

There were also some apes leaning against the railing on the second floor, watching the bewitching figures on the huge dance floor below.

In the box where Zhang Yida was, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A waiter wearing a bow tie walked in, and Kim Changhan stepped forward and exchanged a few words with him full of "Smecta".

Then, a group of girls wearing bandeau dresses and sundresses rushed in, lined up in the private room, waiting for the guests to choose.

These girls are all graceful, and the eyes of a group of high-ranking men in the Blue Hole are shining green.

However, everyone didn't dare to make a move, and turned their eyes to Zhang Yida, who was sitting in the center of the sofa.

This is the concept of hierarchy, Zhang Yida does not choose first, they dare not run in front.

"I don't need to! just drink!" Zhang Yida waved his hand at Jin Changhan.

Jin Changhan was a little surprised, thinking that Zhang Yida didn't look down on these vulgar fans.

He turned to the waiter and whispered a few words.

The waiter understood, turned around and went out. After a while, the waiter came in with a few more girls.

These girls are much more beautiful than the dozen or so just now, standing in front of Zhang Yida, like waiting for the goods to be selected.

Zhang Yida is face blind, and he doesn't watch Korean dramas, so he didn't recognize that these women were all Korean actors.
