The popularity of the closed beta only shows that this is just a good start, and the open beta after January is the key to the success or failure of this game.

At the meeting, Liu Yun directly told all the management that the agent of "World of Warcraft" would make him the No. 1 online game in China, defeat those popular games in the current market, and push it to the crown of king.

"If World of Warcraft can't win the online game market in China, it's not the game's problem, it's the problem of our operations team. "So don't get complacent about a little achievement, you see?"

"Understood!" the management also replied loudly.

Liu Yun waved his arms and spoke passionately: "Believe me, half a year." As long as half a year, we have the capital to argue with Shanda and NetEase in the online game market. ”

On March 15, the closed beta of World of Warcraft officially ended. Yoyo Network also announced on the company's official website, game official website, Youyou.com, and hao123 navigation page at the same time that it will officially open a limited edition public beta on March 25, and the time will end on April 23.

On April 25, World of Warcraft will officially open an unlimited open beta.

Yoyo Network played a clever trick and did not choose to disclose the commercial operation time of this game, but continued to keep it secret, preparing to announce the news when it entered the climax of the open beta.

At this moment, various large and small websites on the Internet have reprinted the news, and the emotions of netizens have also been mobilized.

Those Blizzard fans and Warcraft fans are boiling, they have waited too long for this moment, this boutique game known as a ten-year sharpening sword is finally going to land in China.

In the past year or so, the game's distributor in Huaxia Continent has been undecided. These anxiously waiting players have expected, imitated, and disappointed.

Now it is Yoyo Network that has brought this epic online game to China, thanks to Yoyo Network!

As the game's slogan goes: a world waits.

Countless online gamers are also looking forward to what kind of world they will be greeted with.

......

When the attention of the entire Internet was attracted by the announcement of Yoyo Network, the Tenpay payment software developed by Tencent also stepped onto the historical stage.

It's just that during this time, due to the popularity of "World of Warcraft", Ali's Alipay software has also become familiar to the majority of netizens. Although Tencent has done a lot of publicity, it still hasn't made too many splashes on the Internet.

However, just because netizens don't pay attention doesn't mean that everyone doesn't pay attention.

Liu Yun in Ningjiang and Lao Ma in Hangzhou have been quietly paying attention to the movements of Tenpay.

As Liu Yun expected, on the second day after Tenpay was launched, Ctrip connected to their payment port and started a new payment model.

"Smack!" Liu Yun slapped the table, "I gave them inspiration!"

"Smack!" The old horse who was far away in Hangzhou also slapped the table, "This stinky penguin actually stretched out his hand to my territory!"

In Ma Yun's view, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are his territory, and other payment software cannot be touched.

Liu Yun is finally ready to start using the hole cards in his hand, hao123 navigation web page and Yoyo browser.

After nearly 3 months of development and 1.5 million US dollars invested in promotion, the installed base of Yoyo browser has soared from the first 5 million to 20 million.

"On the hao123 navigation page, all travel links can only point to Yoyo Vacation, and any links to Ctrip are all cancelled!" Liu Yun quickly gave his own instructions.

At the beginning, in the travel section of 123, a small number of links would point to Ctrip.com, and even several of them had quite good positions.

Liu Yun knew about these things, and chose to turn a blind eye and did not stop it, and even those employees felt that the young boss was acquiescing to the existence of such a phenomenon.

"We can't fall into the eyes of money, and we can't give good advertising space to whoever gives money. You must know that our hao123 navigation page, the first responsibility is not to make money, but to recommend the best quality resources to netizens. That's how he said to Xia Lu, the director of the editorial department.

Liu Yun still remembered that Xia Lu's expression was a little wonderful at that time. She looked at Liu Yun with a pair of bright and moving eyes, but there was a smile in her eyes that could not be hidden, as if to say: Boss, what kind of person are you, I don't know about it as an employee?

As a nimble manager, she seemed to be able to vaguely guess Liu Yun's thoughts. He can provide Ctrip with a decent amount of traffic today, and he will be able to reclaim it tomorrow.

hao123This traffic weapon is like a drug, you will be addicted if you use it too much, once you lose it, you feel that the world suddenly becomes dark, and it seems that it has lost the attention of the world, and it will be difficult to adapt for a while.

It turned out that in the past few months, Liu Yun was casting a long line to catch big fish, and he provided free links to Ctrip in order to make them rely on the traffic on hao123.

Today's browser market has been carved up by IE and Yoyo Browser, and about 70% of Internet Explorer users default to hao123 web page.

Although Ctrip has a larger economy, a large number of registered users, and more cash, the number of user visits between the two is very close.

Youyou Holiday Network is too good at publicity, eleventh promotion, New Year's Day promotion, travel strategy prize submission, celebrity travel column opening, for which even brought Yang Liwei, the first person of Huaxia Airlines, Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba, and Li Siyue, the first super girl champion.

After these people settled in, a large number of countless netizens flocked behind them. Li Siyue's fans even started a crazy building campaign, and one of her travel logs, the following replies often have more than 100 layers.

Shanghai, in the office building of Ctrip.

At this moment, founder Liang Jianzhang's face was covered with dark clouds. Beside him, several staff members were quietly reporting their work.

"Mr. Liang, in the past few days, Ctrip's user access has dropped by a large chunk, almost 30%. ”

Liang Jianzhang frowned and asked, "Can you stop this downward trend?"

One of the staff members whispered, "It should be going down for a while, but the proportion will be reduced, about 5%." ”

Liang Jianzhang asked again: "Do you think we have the means to counter Yoyo Network now?"

The staff hesitated for a while and replied: "Judging from the traffic, we don't have it, unless there is a price war!"

Liang Jianzhang shook his head and replied: "We can't burn money like this." In order to enter the market of online hotel reservations, we have spent a lot of money on promotion and R&D, and if we engage in a price war, the investment will only be greater, shareholders will have opinions, and it will even affect our stock price on the NASDAQ. ”

Ctrip is just a pure travel website, and behind it is Yoyo Network, which holds a powerful traffic weapon.
