Chapter 549: Free Things Are the Most Expensive

When He Chen heard this, he also had to admire.

No wonder people can be the boss, the insight and depth of thinking about the problem are not comparable to those small employees of their own.

I thought that the boss was so young, presumably because of family relationships or something.

Now it seems that he is still too simple and a little naive.

The boss is so young and so talented, in comparison, even if there is a relationship, it is not a decisive factor.

It seems that I have to work hard, learn more skills, and no longer mess around like before.

Just when He Chen was secretly exerting himself, Shi Qianxue seized the opportunity to pull something out of Wu Tao's mouth.

"Boss, how much are we going to sell our Counter-Strike software after it goes on the market in the future? I have investigated, and most of the games that Blizzard Entertainment has released before that have sold very well are hundreds or even thousands of dollars. If we set a price like this, I'm afraid it will ......."

Before Shi Qianxue finished speaking, Wu Tao interrupted: "Our video game installation is completely free. ”

"What?" Shi Qianxue and He Chen looked at each other, since they don't want money, they still promote a fart, anyway, they have no income, and their commission is not settled, "How can it be free?"

Wu Tao smiled and pressed his hand and said, "Don't get excited, listen to me." ”

“...... This one is free and is especially aimed at users in the Chinese region. Outside of the Huaxia area, there is still a fee. After all, foreigners have strong spending power, and they have a strong sense of authenticity, so they have long been accustomed to spending money to buy game installation disks. ”

“...... But what about China? I dare say that once we have to charge for it, within a month, the cracked version will come out. At that time, we will still lose a large number of potential customers, plus the potential customers stopped by the genuine threshold, we may not lose more than we gain. ”

Shi Qianxue frowned and said, "But it's completely free, and I can't say it." ”

"I remember there was a saying that free stuff is the most expensive. Wu Tao continued to explain, "This time, there is no charge for the genuine version of the game, because we have set the fee threshold inside the door. ”

“...... Once users like the game, they feel that they can't live without it. Then let's provide some paid unlocking features for each account, such as online teaming and matchmaking......"

Absolutely!

Shi Qianxue said excitedly: "Boss, sometimes I really want to steal something out of your head." He Chen and I pondered the problem for several days, and you solved it in three or two sentences. ”

“...... It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating. ”

He Chen also couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Manager Shi, I feel the same way as you." ”

After answering the question, Wu Tao got up and prepared to leave. Shi Qianxue said recklessly, "Boss, our thinking is a little limited, should you deduct our salary?"

"Well, I'll think about it. ”

"Don't, boss, I'm just asking, don't take it seriously......"

Wu Tao's idea is naturally based on the experience of his previous life. This is purely a routine of 'raising and killing again', relying on free accumulation of user base and expansion of scale. Wait until the scale reaches a certain level, and then cultivate paying users through different services and needs.

Shi Qianxue and He Chen felt that this road was fresh, but it was not that no one thought of it.

At least after Wu Tao left the marketing planning department, when he came to Wang Donglai's office, the first thing he said was, "Boss, I'm looking for you." I wonder if we can be free for a while after our game goes live?"

Wang Donglai poured a cup of tea and asked.

Wu Tao smiled but did not speak.

Wang Donglai couldn't figure out his attitude, and tried his best to explain: "Boss, I am planning for the long term, and at the same time taking into account the company's ability to resist risks." I believe that doing so, in the long run, will be absolutely cost-effective......"

The words are earnest, but also urgent.

Wu Tao also knows that no one wants to prove himself more than Wang Donglai now.

At the moment, he no longer sold Guan Zi and said: "Coincidentally, I was in the marketing planning department just now, and I just discussed this topic with them, which is a bit of a coincidence." ”

"That's great!Boss, with your strong support, I will definitely return you a first-class game company!"

Wu Tao patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, Tianxing Game Company is going to become the third largest industry." When the day of success, I will also reward Jia Qian with a Ferrari, which will be counted as your wedding gift. ”

The third largest industry!

Wang Donglai couldn't help but gasp.

Now under the name of the boss, the first major industry is undoubtedly Yuanqi Technology, and the second largest industry should be Tianqi Investment, and the financial assets are well-deserved first in private and private circles.

These two industrial companies are both with annual revenues of more than 10 billion.

And Tianxing Game Company, if it wants to become the third largest industry, even if the annual revenue is not tens of billions, it should still have seven or eight billion.

But for an internet gaming company, that's an ambitious goal.

At least so far, no domestic company has reached this level.

For a while, Wang Donglai's mouth was a little dry, and he was a little speechless because of this burden.

But after thinking about it, Qin Xiaoxiao can support the second largest industrial company, how much worse can she be than her?

After walking around Tianxing Game Company, seeing that everyone was full of fighting spirit and full of vitality, Wu Tao was relieved that this small company was small and full of organs.

Although it is an investment of tens of millions of dollars, compared to several others, isn't it a small company?

After walking around his one-acre and three-point land like this, nothing important, Wu Tao was ready to go home.

Unfortunately, when the car just crossed the river, Yang Ge's phone called, "Boss, on behalf of Yuanqi Technology, I solemnly invite you to participate in the company's celebration ceremony!"

"Celebrate, what kind of achievement?" Wu Tao didn't pay much attention to Yuanqi Technology these days, so he was confused when he heard this.

Yang Ge's voice couldn't help but say with a little pride: "As of just 16:05, the sales volume of Yuanqi Technology's Lotus mobile phone has officially exceeded 10 million units!"

"What, this is true?" If Wu Tao hadn't been sitting in the car, I'm afraid he would have jumped up directly.

What is the concept of 10 million? It means that the total revenue exceeds 50 billion! Although it is not a simple profit, the scale of this revenue is also very amazing.

Such achievements not only show that Yuanqi Technology has grown into a giant technology company, but also reached a height comparable to the three major mobile phone communication providers.

10 million doesn't sound like much, which is the monthly shipment of some brands of smartphones in later generations.

However, at present, the domestic mobile phone market is still in the gestation period, and it is quite remarkable to have this achievement.

What's more, in addition to the three major mobile phone foreign companies, several domestic brand mobile phones have also risen in China, and they have begun to encroach on the low-end market, such as Kejian, Bird and others.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao perked up, "Okay, I must be there!"
