Chapter 184: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
"Network administrator, why don't you have "Dead Planet" in your Internet café?" As soon as the network administrator's words fell, a customer came to the bar to ask.
The network management brother hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I haven't updated it yet." ”
"What's the matter? Dead Planet doesn't have it, other internet cafes do!" the customer complained.
Yang Wenkang was very familiar with this customer, as if he was a frequent visitor to the Internet, so he asked curiously: "Dude, are there many people playing "Dead Planet"?"
The customer gave him a blank look and said, "The hottest new online game now, do you say much?"
"That's right. Yang Wenkang nodded thoughtfully.
"Forget it, I'm going to play somewhere else. The man said.
"Hey!" Yang Wenkang hurriedly added: "We'll update it right away! ”
"Really?"
"Really!" Yang Wenkang said seriously, he immediately instructed the network administrator to update the game to the game menu, and at the same time, he also downloaded the BBG game platform produced by Building Block Games for the first time.
"The Internet café has updated Dead Planet!" someone in the Internet café shouted.
"I'm X, it's finally updated!" a player quit his "Alliance" game in seconds and opened "Dead Planet" directly.
There are also those who don't know this game, and they look over curiously, and when they see the wonderful game scenes and cool pictures, they are immediately attracted.
"Brother, what is this game?"
"Dead Planet! Find the game menu yourself. ”
Yang Wenkang, the owner of the Internet café, also opened a machine and opened the game. Yang Wenkang himself is also a veteran gamer, but after getting married, the time to play games has gradually decreased. And there haven't been any new games lately that have made him interested.
As soon as he opened the game interface of "Dead Planet", he was attracted by the blockbuster-level game CG.
"Something!" Yang Wenkang muttered to himself.
Soon, he got into the game. Novice tutorial - novice training camp - actual combat acting, before you know it, Yang Wenkang has been fascinated until his mobile phone rings.
"Hey, husband, the meal is ready, why haven't you come back to eat?" was the phone his wife opened.
"Well, the Internet café is a little busy, don't wait for me!" Yang Wenkang was busy playing games.
"You don't know how to play games in an Internet café, do you?" the other party heard the tapping sound of the mechanical keyboard, and was a little suspicious.
"No, how is it possible? I haven't played games for a long time, I'm doing accounts, okay, don't talk about it!" Yang Wenkang hung up the phone and continued to play.
After playing for several hours, Yang Wenkang reluctantly left in front of the computer screen, "I haven't played so cool for a long time!
He walked around the Internet café and had already found quite a few players playing Dead Planet, and the attendance of the Internet café seemed to have increased quite a bit.
When he arrived at the bar, the network management brother showed off: "Boss, the attendance rate this afternoon is twice as high as yesterday! Look, they are all here to play Dead Planet!"
"There are so many people?" Yang Wenkang was surprised.
"Of course!" said the network administrator brother, "This game has high requirements for computer configuration, and if you use cloud acceleration, it has high requirements for network speed." Many people don't have a smooth time at home, so they come to the Internet café!"
"That's right. Yang Wenkang thought for a while and said to the network management brother: "In this way, you will write an announcement and put it outside the Internet café, just say that our Internet café has "Dead Planet", and anyone who plays "Dead Planet" and eats chicken in our Internet café will be given Internet fees and drinks!"
"Write bigger, and then print a few posters and stick them outside. Got it?"
"Understood!" the network management brother immediately went to do it.
Soon, the announcement was posted, and a group of middle school students rushed in.
"Help me turn it on!"
"You can also play Dead Planet at this Internet café!"
"Eat chicken and send the net fee, watch me take you to eat chicken!"
Seeing this group of middle school students gasping and rushing into the Internet café, with an excited look, Yang Wenkang looked nostalgic, and he seemed to recall the days when he played legends in the black Internet café.
Running in the sunset is to grab a machine in a black Internet café, what a beautiful memory.
"Boss, drive for three hours!" said one of the students, pulling out their bills.
"I'm sorry, but this Internet café prohibits minors from using the Internet. Yang Wenkang ruthlessly rejected them.
......
Not only Yang Wenkang, but also Internet café owners all over the country have found that there seem to be more customers coming to Internet cafes to surf the Internet again.
In the local Internet café management system, even the game "Dead Planet" has been updated. Moreover, some Internet café owners find that if their Internet café computer configuration is not good, they cannot play the game, and there will be few customers.
Both active and passive, these cafes have updated their equipment or broadband to cater to the needs of their customers because of the game Dead Planet.
Complementing each other, Dead Planet players are also skyrocketing at an unimaginable rate.
Within a month and a half of its launch, Dead Planet had 8 million active players, surpassing many of the most popular online games in one fell swoop, second only to Penguin's Alliance!
Penguin Games is another high-level meeting, and during this time, they have more frequent meetings than in previous years.
Because there has never been a company, a game, that can make them feel a sense of crisis like this!
In the past, there may have been game companies that could fight against them, but in the end, they all bought them. And the building block game, refusing to buy and not cooperating with them, is doing better and better.
Faintly, they have begun to threaten Penguin's position as the leading boss in the gaming field!
"The latest data shows that the number of active players on Dead Planet has increased by 200% in the last week, and the number of active players has decreased to varying degrees across many of our online games. Liu Yi, director of operations, reported, "It can be said that our interception tactics have failed!"
"It's not just the interception that fails. Another senior executive took over his words and said, "Because we blocked them on multiple gaming platforms and related platforms, the number of these players downloading building block game platforms skyrocketed." ”
And Block Games has announced that they are about to open a live game channel and start the Dead Planet game league. On top of that, they're aggressively recruiting game makers to join the BBG gaming platform. Last week, they signed up to three well-known game production companies!"
"This is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!" Qiu Yong pulled his face, and anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood.
"They don't just want to take over the market with one game, if they develop their gaming platform, we will completely lose our current dominance!"
"The key is this cloud gaming feature!" said the technical director sharply, "No matter how popular Dead Planet is, it is only one game, and we have a lot of popular games, and it is impossible for all players to like Dead Planet." But they rely on the cloud gaming function to attract game producers to settle in, just like the siphon effect, they start pumping water continuously, and we are the pond that is being pumped!"
"Cloud gaming, can we do it?" Qiu Yong asked.
The technical director was still boasting just now, and when he heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only say with an embarrassed expression: "There are still some technical difficulties, especially the unique distributed network system, which we haven't studied yet." ”
"Then do it!" Qiu Yong shouted, "If they can do it, can't we?" I want to see it in the shortest possible time, and we will also launch this function!"
"Yes. The technical director was a little weak-hearted, and he couldn't help but think of the last time the mobile game department asked major game studios to imitate "Super Battlefield", that time, their top team of game designers spent a lot of effort, but they failed to imitate the essence, and they were scolded for being bloody.
This time, will it be the case again?
There was silence in the conference room, it had not been a long time.
The building block game studio is very busy, and it is an indisputable fact that "Dead Planet" has become a popular online game.
In order to maximize the benefits, the studio has begun to communicate in an all-round way, and Ruan Song has invited major game clubs in the name of the building block game studio to set up a professional team of "Dead Planet" games, and will spend money to dress up a special tournament system.
Dedicated live game channel, enriching the game universe, making character comics and even short films...... Building Block Games is no longer limited to a mobile game studio, but has gradually developed into a comprehensive game operation company, which is rapidly growing into a so-called game manufacturer!
While laying out the game business, Meng Xiaobai took the time to go to Guizhou Province and signed a contract with the local government department for the Nebula Big Data Center project. The local government was quite supportive, giving policies, loans and personnel assistance.
In order to ensure that the Nebulas Big Data Center can be completed as soon as possible and meet the needs of various data services and cloud services of Deep Space Technology, Meng Xiaobai has prepared a talent introduction plan while letting people buy equipment.
Deep space technology is developing too fast, and the biggest drawback is not equipment and machines, but team building. Many of the research results were completed after Meng Xiaobai gave help. Although companies are always recruiting talent, there are only so many elites, and elites often already have positions, which are difficult to recruit.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Meng Xiaobai decided to launch a large-scale talent introduction plan to replenish fresh blood in a timely manner.
