Chapter 190: Expansion Begins

Time flies, and the days of the week slip through my fingers in the blink of an eye.

In Jianghai City at the beginning of August, the weather was still hot, and the scorching heat enveloped the whole city, but this did not stop the times from moving forward.

On August 2nd, that is, today, after Yuanyang Software Company confirmed the cooperation with Netcom and VA Company, the global measurement of "Counter-Strike" was determined at 10 o'clock this morning.

As of six o'clock yesterday afternoon, Su Yang got a specific data report from Wei Yongqiang.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1.8 million players in the world.

And that's just the data from the exposure of the Game Summit!

It is conceivable that once the internal test is over, after Netcom and VA companies begin to use channel resources to a large extent, how popular this game will be.

Of course, because of its playability and game representativeness, the word 3D game alone is enough to make many game-loving players crazy obsessed.

So it's popular, that's an inevitable result, and even if someone makes a better game than Counter-Strike at the moment, it can't stop its rise.

However, although 1.8 million people want to be the first to participate in the closed beta and experience the game, unfortunately, in order to carry out early hunger marketing, the total number of people in the closed beta worldwide is set at 200,000.

As a result, as many as 1.6 million people are unable to participate in the closed beta because they do not have access to the closed beta account.

Some players who are hot in their hearts, in order to try the game for the first time, do not hesitate to buy the internal test account online at a high price, and the internal test number that only needs 98RMB has been fried to more than 1,000 yuan.

Naturally, this is just a small group of rich and wealthy players, most of whom have not grabbed the beta account, and there is no other way than regret and pouring water on the forum to vent their anger.

Anyway, the closed beta will only last for three days, and the beta will be closed after three days, and then the global public beta will start on August 17th, that is, the day of the Qixi Festival.

It's nothing more than a dozen days, not long or short, although it's itchy, but you can still wait.

In addition, under the responsibility of Zhou Lin, Alipay has quickly accumulated more than two million registered users by integrating with food delivery.

Because of its concise page and ultra-fast online payment speed, it is an excellent experience, and users who have used it, except for those who deliberately make trouble, either do not comment on it or have unanimously voted for it.

In addition, with Su Yang's permission, Zhou Lin is also ready to let Alipay and "Counter-Strike" and "Plants vs. Zombies" carry out bundled publicity.

As long as nothing else, after the open beta of "Counter-Strike", it will quickly bring a considerable user base to Alipay.

Alipay is a huge cake, Su Yang, who has benefited from Alipay in his previous life, has a good understanding of this project, and is confident that in the future, it will definitely be able to shine in the payment software family in China and even the whole world, and even stand out from the crowd.

But the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the steps must be taken step by step, and you must not be eager, otherwise it is easy to choke or pull the eggs.

At present, Ant Financial is still very weak, the credit system is still under construction, and the user base is too small to support the development of various projects in Alipay.

For example, the fund-raising ace Yue Bao, convenient mobile phone recharge, credit card repayment, train tickets and air tickets, city services, living expenses, etc., all of which require time to accumulate and precipitate, and a large number of people have to be invested to run cooperation, which cannot be done for a while.

At present, Alipay only has simple online payment, as well as the links of Yuanyang takeaway and Yuanyang games, which are very simple and concise.

In terms of game development, "StarCraft" and "DNF" are in production in an orderly manner, and with the expansion of Yuanyang Software Company and the continuous convening of manpower, the development speed of the game has also been greatly improved.

But because these two games are games with a capacity no less than that of Counter-Strike, if you want to get the finished product, you have to wait until September.

In this regard, Su Yang asked Han Qidong to do it slowly by himself, so he didn't ask.

Now his focus has been on takeaway.

Compared with June, July is a new journey for Yuanyang Takeaway.

Although as early as June, Yuanyang takeaway has been rolled out in Jianghai City, but it is undoubtedly only a preliminary rollout, and it has not yet been thoroughly deepened.

With the improvement of various systems in July, as well as the increase in publicity and the increase of takeaway riders and merchants, the business situation of Yuanyang Takeaway in Jianghai City has reached a new high.

First of all, the number of registered people on the Yuanyang takeaway platform has exceeded 7 million, which is roughly equivalent to one out of every three people in the entire Jianghai City who has used Yuanyang takeaway.

This ratio looks very exaggerated, but in fact, it is not, aside from the large-scale publicity of Yuanyang Company, for Jianghai City, which has a monthly population flow of more than 100 million, this proportion is not even one-tenth.

Converted into the proportion of permanent residents, at most two out of ten people have used Yuanyang takeaway, but despite the five people who do not eat takeaway, there are still three people who can develop into customers.

Therefore, the takeaway market in Jianghai City is still very broad.

Of course, the number of registrants or something is only superficial data, and the data that is really useful for takeaway depends on the number of orders and transaction volume per day.

Throughout July, the number of daily orders for takeaway has been increasing, with an average of 620,000 orders per day, and the price per unit has dropped from previous months, but it has remained at 28 yuan.

In this way, the 31-day transaction volume in July is very intuitive, compared with June, more than 100 million, reaching 530 million transactions.

Among them, the gross profit harvested by the Yuanyang takeaway platform also exceeded 100 million for the first time.

According to Fang Yousheng's joking words, if Yuanyang Takeaway can be listed now, as long as the turnover of June and July is announced, the market value can reach at least 2 billion.

The unit is in US dollars.

Su Yang just smiled at what he said, and didn't take it to heart.

First, it is impossible to go public now, because the business time has not been completed for three years, and it cannot meet the standards for listing.

The second is that Su Yang is not ready to let it go public, because once it is listed, Yuanyang Takeaway is basically not his, and any project must be discussed at a shareholders' meeting, and Su Yang hates this uncontrolled situation.

What he likes is the feeling of 'dictatorship', which is not a good thing in the business world where brainstorming is practiced, but as a man who is open-minded, he has the qualifications to dictate dictatorship.

Of course, then again, if Su Yang is really short of money, he can take Yuanyang Takeaway on the market, and then throw away the shares in his hand and cash out, which is a good way to make money.

There is a turnover of up to 500 million a month, which shows that Yuanyang Takeaway has full wings in Jianghai City and can expand outward.

The original book funds, plus bank loans, with up to 600 million yuan of working capital, Yuanyang Takeaway, since yesterday, has been in Yanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianhe and other four first-tier cities, as well as Hangzhou, Jinling, Shancheng, Rongcheng, Chuncheng and other 30 second-tier cities, began to march.

Although 600 million seems to be a lot of money, it seems to be a lot of wealth, but when it is distributed among these 34 cities, it seems a little rare.

Of course, compared to when Yuanyang was founded, it is much better.

However, with the end of the time of takeaway copyright protection, many capitalists will 100% rush into the takeaway market like hungry wolves, which will make the market competition fierce.

In this regard, at the end of last month, Su Yang, Fang Yousheng and other senior executives of the takeaway company conducted various deductions and plans, and finally came to a conclusion.

As long as there is no policy interference, none of these later capitalists can threaten Yuanyang's hegemony in the food delivery industry.
