Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Terrifying First Day of Trading
On the first day of the platform's official launch, the customer service department, which has the largest workload, was already a little busy and had no choice but to temporarily remove a few people from the technical department to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When it was time to get off work, Gu Heng dictatorship for the first time, requiring all employees of the company to work overtime until nine o'clock, and promised that today's transaction volume would exceed 1.5 million, and each person would be given an additional 200 bonus in addition to his salary next month.
Money is not everything, but there are 9,000 to say the least, stimulated by the bonus, the company's employees do not have much resistance to this overtime.
Some employees who have back-end accounts on the trading platform have begun to constantly refresh the back-end data, and they have to cheer in a low voice every time they close a large order!
In 2002, when the gaming industry was just emerging, the concept of professional gamers had not yet taken shape, so idle players formed the main seller's market for trading platforms.
Although the seller's market does not have a single shipment, it can not stand the large base, and who really spends a lot of time playing games, who doesn't have a small superb? When thousands of idle players put their game equipment and gold coins on the trading platform, they will ensure a sufficient supply.
As for the buyer's market on the other side, most of them are those who are not bad at home, or they are professional elites who love games and can make a lot of money themselves.
Although there are few people in this part, they support the entire game trading market, and without them, the trading platform will have no room to survive.
The reason why Gu Heng proposed to work overtime was to target another group in the buyer's market, workplace elites who have jobs, love games, and are willing to exchange money for game time.
In his mind, only after work is the active time for this part of the people.
This point,It can also be seen from the peak period of the visit of the usual love online game forum,Since the forum was launched for a few months,Except for weekends,It is generally after 6 o'clock in the evening,The peak period of access will be ushered inγ
Running the trading platform, Gu Heng does not have much experience to learn from, it is purely by feeling the stones to cross the river, only through experiments, grasp the market context, he can adjust the company's future work arrangements in a timely manner.
The peak trading hours of the trading platform are after work, but he arranges for the company's employees to get off work early and doesn't do business during this time period, right?
Facts have proved that Gu Heng's prediction is accurate.
Those who are not short of money at home also have a lot of time to play games during the day, which supports the trading volume of the trading platform in the afternoon, and in the evening time period, there is another group of game enthusiasts who have to go to work during the day to cheer.
From 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the evening, the transaction orders of the trading platform have basically not been broken, although most of them are some hundreds to thousands of orders, but the base is considerable, there are thousands of transactions, which directly pushed the trading volume of the trading platform on the first day to 1.8 million.
After 9 o'clock, the trading volume of the trading platform still did not slow down.
Because of the insufficient estimate, Gu Heng had to temporarily change the plan and postpone the end of work until half past ten.
In the end, when the platform was closed, its first-day trading volume reached a number that surprised Gu Heng, more than 3.1 million!
Such a terrifying first-day trading volume is inseparable from the enthusiastic support of another local tyrant, who once posted on the forum, saying that the diamond level is too low, and he can add a king, supreme or something like that.
His ID also looks quite domineering at the moment: Martial Arts Supreme!
He alone not only swept away the inventory of the legendary game hoarded by the ID of "Mortal Passerby", but also swept away many inventories consigned on the platform, and the transaction volume directly exceeded one million.
At that time, some friends in the technical department, finance department, and customer service department were simply stunned, and they couldn't understand the mentality of a game enthusiast who was angry about throwing millions of dollars for a game.
Gu Heng was addicted to games in college in his previous life, and he understood that it was a kind of mentality that only had about 300 living expenses per month, and he would rather eat instant noodles and steamed buns than pick out two-thirds of them to play games.
People who don't have money are still like this, let alone local tyrants who are not bad for money, one word can be described: it's hard to buy a thousand dollars!
For this kind of enthusiastic uncle, Gu Heng naturally responded, and directly asked the technical department to temporarily modify the level, add the title of king to the "Wulin Supreme" comrade, and promote it on the whole platform in the first time.
The title of a king once again ignited the love online game forum, and the words "king" and "million" on the screen expressed envy, jealousy and hatred.
At the same time, some people who are thousands of miles away have also seen the promotional banner on the homepage on the iOnline Game Forum.
On the first day of the platform's launch, there was a diamond user and a king user, how much was its first-day turnover?
Two million, three million, or more?
It is true that it is impossible for hundreds of thousands or even millions of local tyrants to appear often, and it is impossible to throw so much money into it every day, but according to the current trend, after the platform tends to stabilize, there should be hundreds of thousands of turnover a day.
Hundreds of thousands a day, a year down, isn't the turnover to exceed 100 million?
But when they calm down and analyze carefully, some people who want to follow the trend slowly extinguish their enthusiasm, which is not necessary.
Even if the annual turnover is hundreds of millions, the profit will never exceed 10 million. Because according to the commission model of the iOnline Game trading platform, the higher the level of users, the less the commission ratio, and it is precisely these high-level users who really pile up the transaction volume.
Just imagine, if the cumulative turnover in a year is hundreds of millions, but more than 50 million are created by those high-V users, how much commission can be extracted from this part of the transaction volume? I think the maximum proportion will not exceed 4%, that is, no more than 2 million.
And the other 50 million turnover, according to 8 percent, is only 4 million.
With a transaction volume of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, there is only about 6 million profits, and after deducting development costs and operating costs, how much can be left?
The most important thing is that if you want to grab business from the first hand in the industry, which has laid the pattern, you must lower the percentage of the commission.
In this way, how much oil and water can there be? You can't afford to spend a lot of time and energy to fight with the online game forum.
But there are also some people who are quietly taken to heart, and they are more likely to consider the problem from a longer-term perspective.
For companies engaged in the game industry, having their own trading platform must not only be considered from the profit aspect, but must also integrate many factors, such as the stickiness of users to the game, and the advantages of launching new games in the future.
Besides, in 2002, the trading platform was able to create hundreds of millions of annual transactions, but in a few years? Is it possible to achieve hundreds of millions, or even billions?
At that time, even if the commission is low, the annual income is a relatively considerable figure.
The launch of the trading platform has unconsciously touched the sensitive nerves of some companies.
For this, Gu Heng expected that he had only one answer, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the earth.
Relying on each other, iOnline Game Forum and Trading Platform have already occupied a considerable first-mover advantage, and he is confident enough to deal with any challenger.
In fact, what he is worried about now is not these, but the company's future work arrangements and how to expand the company's profits.
After work, in order to show praise and apologize for extending overtime, Gu Heng asked the company's employees to go out to dinner by themselves, and they could be reimbursed in full with the invoice tomorrow.
In the cheers, the junior employees finished their day's work, while the middle-level employees were left behind for a meeting.
