Chapter Twenty-Six: Not bold, very ambitious
In the following days, Gu Heng's focus began to shift, and after finding two second-hand computers from the computer city again, he opened a small Internet café in a rented house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
There is only one purpose, which is to develop game plug-ins and play equipment!
Selling equipment for money?
As a reborn person who had been eating on the Internet in his previous life, and had already made hundreds of thousands of dollars by relying on a network management system, Gu Heng's appetite had begun to grow, and his eyes began to look farther away, not satisfied with the few small sums of money he had for selling game equipment.
His real purpose is only one: to be a platform!
In the future Internet industry, which type of enterprises are the most awesome? Enterprises with hundreds of millions of user platforms are the most awesome, and no matter what kind of application these enterprises launch, even if only one percent of them use it, it is the rhythm of lying down to make money.
So his real goal is to create a platform of his own!
Games, in the future industry, are a gold-sucking monster, even if it is a giant enterprise like Tencent with a market value of more than one trillion yuan in the future, games account for the largest proportion in its quarterly financial statements.
It can even be said that if Tencent hadn't launched QQ games that year and copied the popular games in the domestic game market, it would not have had such brilliant achievements as it did later.
Gu Heng understands his current energy, it is definitely unrealistic to make games, no one has no technology, the most important thing is that there is no money, hundreds of thousands of funds are invested in the development of money-burning games, and they can't even see a splash.
It doesn't work to act as an agent, and no one who makes games will hand over their games to a pure newcomer who has no funds and no market appeal.
What he is aiming at is not the game itself, but the game trading platform!
One of the hottest online games on the market today should be regarded as the Stone Age, and small cities like Lianshui City can have local tyrants who spend tens of thousands of dollars for a few pieces of game equipment, which shows its attractiveness.
But he knows that this is just the beginning, and in less than a few months, a game called Legend will completely ignite the entire game market at an eye-popping rate, making all game developers red-eyed, crazy, and then rushing in.
With the heat of the game market, game equipment will also be hyped up, becoming a prop used by local tyrant players to fill the façade, a small masterpiece may be able to sell hundreds or thousands, and a top equipment may be thousands.
But there is a market, how to trade? Gamers are distributed all over the world, and they rely on online trading, and they don't trust each other, and they are afraid of being cheated.
What about offline trading? What are you kidding me, who would go on a trip to another place in order to sell a piece of game equipment? Even if you have this idea, if you make an appointment to run over, people don't want it, you can only cry and faint in the toilet.
Therefore, at this time, a game trading platform that acts as a guarantee intermediary has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the required capital threshold and technical requirements are not too high, as long as it is operated properly, it can definitely be an instant hit.
Gu Heng is very bold, he knows that instant messaging, e-commerce, social networking and other fields will be a mess in the future, but he just doesn't dare to get it, he has no funds, no strength, no background, once he makes a noise, he is afraid that someone will kill him in minutes.
He is timid and can't afford to lose, in the next few years, the Internet industry can be said to be changing with each passing day, a failure, he may have wasted a few years, and then want to start anew, may have missed the best opportunity to rise.
At the same time, his ambition is very fat, and his vision is not limited to a game trading platform, he thinks more long-term.
It is not difficult to develop a game trading platform, and it can only earn a small commission, so it should not receive too much attention and suppression at the beginning, and maybe some game developers will be happy to see such a convenient platform for gamers appear.
And this is the beginning of his real fangs!
In his vision, the platform is only the first step, and the next step is to open a forum in this game trading platform, as a communication platform for all game lovers, and strive to let every gamer know that there is such a platform in the shortest possible time, and have an account in this platform.
When he has this big platform, he really has enough confidence and self-protection ability, and he has room to show his strength.
As long as the platform really begins to form scale and influence, he will launch one or two influential mini-games in due course, and make a reputation as a high-quality product produced by the platform.
And finally, he wants to make the platform a benchmark setter in the gaming industry.
It says that your game is fun, and your game will have a large influx of players and become a hit. Say your game is rubbish, it won't take long for your game to lose popularity, and sooner or later it will be closed.
This is Gu Heng's ultimate goal, to open a platform, make games, and finally become an industry rule-maker!
Think about it at that time, all the games in China, including Tencent, Shanda and other game giants, every time they tested it, they had to put advertisements first, and then all kinds of tricks to curry favor with them, for fear of leaving a bad reputation on this platform, what was it like?
One word, double cool!
Considering that the time when online games really exploded was in 2002, Gu Heng had a feeling that time was running out.
This game trading platform is the most critical part of his grand plan, and it must be launched at the most opportune time, and it is an instant hit, and there is not much time left for him.
In the short term, he does not have enough capital to recruit technical talents to work together, but there are enough talents in the school, and they are cheap, as long as the eloquence is good, he can definitely fool a few technical giants to fight the world together.
Thinking about that picture, it was so beautiful, Gu Heng couldn't hold back the little excitement in his heart.
So at the moment, he wants to make the general framework of this platform, and the other is to reserve enough game equipment and gold coins to make enough preliminary preparations for the future launch of the platform.
In general, he already has it, and a large number of superb game equipment can only rely on plug-ins.
As for making money by selling plug-ins, he didn't think about it, the risk was too great, and the goal was too obvious, once he was found, he couldn't get out of the relationship.
However, compared with selling plug-ins directly, the risk of using plug-ins to play out game equipment and then trade it is undoubtedly much smaller.
Because selling plug-ins is a low-level stage, you can sell dozens of dollars for a plug-in, even if it is good, and in this era when online shopping and online payment have not risen, if you want to sell something, you can only rely on two legs to run, if you want to make more money, you must sell more, and the goal of selling more is naturally big.
On the contrary, trading game equipment has less such concerns, first of all, he has a small amount, it is not the best and will not be launched on the market, and others will not suspect that it was obtained by improper means because you sell a few pieces of equipment, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really catch it?
What, you said take out the list of transactions! I can't trade directly in cash?
Please, I'm a local tyrant who can spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of game equipment, and the beauties who have slept with him all turn around and forget, how can I have the spare time to remember what an otaku who sells game equipment looks like?
Of course, the above can only be said to be the worst-case scenario, he believes that before the network is not strictly regulated, and games have not become a large industrial chain, it is still very safe to use plug-ins to play game equipment, because the interest groups touched are not yet at the level, and it is impossible to inflict a thunderous blow on the beneficiaries of playing on the periphery.
Besides, he didn't make a fortune by playing game equipment, but mainly wanted to stock up on some goods to build momentum for the future launch of the platform, and as long as the platform development was on the right track, he would naturally withdraw and hide his merit and fame.
