Chapter 352: "Legend" Closed Beta
The "Legend" game is finally about to open the closed beta, and the daylilies such as Su Qingzhi are going to be cold.
If it doesn't go online again, it's one thing whether Zhongzhou Technology Company can survive.
In the past few months, the installed capacity of the computer manager has been rising, and the performance is very gratifying, but correspondingly, the operating costs of Zhongzhou Technology have also increased geometrically.
When the computer manager was just launched, Xu Youzhi was bent on doing the market, just like the original website home, no matter whether it was profitable or not, the installed capacity was raised first.
In order to boost morale, he also asked Zhang Ying to find a designer to make a battle report, such as when the installed capacity reached 1 million and other integers, he designed an inspiring battle report.
Then print it out, get a roll-up banner, stand in the most conspicuous position of the company, look at it with a special sense of accomplishment, and use this method to boost morale.
It's just that the battle report has only been done for six issues, and by the seventh issue, Xu Youzhi let it be canceled.
Not only was it canceled, but all the war reports that had been made were withdrawn.
Xu Youzhi sighed, if you don't cancel it, you can't do it, it's really panicked when you look at it.
The higher the installed capacity of the computer manager, the more the company loses, who makes the computer manager completely free, and there is no development profit point yet.
Now Xu Youzhi feels like a bucket as long as he sees the constantly beating and growing installed capacity data in the background.
It's not numbers that beat, it's money, it's not making money, it's burning money!
If this continues, Zhongzhou Technology may really be dragged down by the computer housekeeper.
Xu Youzhi is worried, as the general manager of Zhongzhou Technology, no one knows the company's current situation better than him.
The bank's 5 million loans are basically spent, and the income of the company has long been insufficient to cover the expenditure, the company is overdrafted, and there is almost no liquidity on the books.
If it weren't for Su Qingzhi's monthly out-of-pocket injection of funds into the company's account, maybe he wouldn't even be able to pay his salary on time.
Xu Youzhi is worried, and Su Qingzhi is even more worried.
He was so worried that he had been losing his hair recently, and he couldn't even sleep well, so he plunged into the Fengqu network, forcing Jiang Haobo to speed up the work progress every day, and strive to realize the launch of the "Legend" game as soon as possible.
Su Qingzhi is so poor now that he doesn't even dare to take a taxi when he comes home from work.
Once I met Zhang Ying on the bus, and the little girl asked in surprise, why do you take the bus?
Su Qingzhi said with a thick old face, experience the life of a normal person......
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six pairs of white eyes were thrown at him around him, and this man pretended to be forced to look really bad.
However, people are thick-skinned, and the old god looks out the window comfortably, looking like you don't understand the world of rich people.
The little girl Zhang Ying couldn't help but cast an admiring look at him, after all, she knew Su Qingzhi's identity.
As the CEO of two Internet companies, there are more than 200 employees below, and he actually takes the bus to commute, such a boss is too close to the people, right?
In fact, Su Qingzhi's poverty is only known to him, and he even has the idea of taking out a mortgage on the house, but a house is a drop in the bucket for him now, and it can't solve any problems at all.
Su Qingzhi originally wanted to compress the beta test time to fifteen days, but Jiang Haobo disagreed, because the time was too short, and he was worried that there might be bugs that could not be detected, which might lead to failures during the open beta period, and finally set it as a one-month beta period.
Su Qingzhi felt that Jiang Haobo was too careful, because before the closed beta, the "Legend" game had been tested for several rounds, and all the bugs that should be modified had been modified, so there should be no more problems.
However, it never hurts to be careful when it comes to work, and when it comes to work, it never hurts to be careful and serious.
It's just that in this case, Su Qingzhi's hard days will continue for a while.
Before the "Legend" game opened the closed beta, Su Qingzhi cheekily borrowed 30,000 yuan from Ni Fatzi as the promotion and marketing expenses of Xu Youzhi's army.
Among the people he knew,. The three members of the S band are none other than that.
But Su Qingzhi was embarrassed to open up to the three of them, because before that, for the development of Zhongzhou Technology and Fengqu Network, he had already owed Wang Wenxuan and the three of them millions.
This is how Su Qingzhi's steady stream of money injected into the company's bank account in his personal name came from.
But then again, the 30,000 yuan water army marketing expenses are still good, the "Legend" game has not been tested and the number of players who applied for the internal test verification code exceeded 100,000 in more than half a month.
In Su Qingzhi's opinion, this number is simply weak, and it can't be compared with the millions of gamers who were online at the same time when the legendary game was popular.
However, Jiang Haobo was stunned by this number.
With such a garbage game, how can so many people apply for the closed beta?
In other words, the tastes of Chinese online gamers are too easy to satisfy, right?
Well, Jiang Haobo admits that although he is solely responsible for the game "Legend", to be honest, he doesn't look down on this shoddy game from the bottom of his heart.
His most intuitive feeling about this game is that there is no sense of graphics, the background music is monotonous, the world view is blurred, and the PK mode is too pediatric......
He couldn't even think of it if he wanted to, how could such a garbage online game be sought after by so many people?
He attributed all the credit to marketing, believing that the reason why the "Legend" game did not become popular was because the company's marketing was good.
During this time, "Legend" was almost swiped by major BBS forums, and there were advertisements for this game everywhere.
Most online game players like to soak in forums, and focusing on promoting BBS forums can be regarded as precision marketing.
However, the cost of forum advertising is not low, Jiang Haobo speculated that the company spends at least six figures on marketing and promotion, and it is impossible to get it below this number......
Of course, although Jiang Haobo said that the game "Legend", he was still conscientious when it came to the sinicization, testing, modification, and promotion of the game, because it was a matter of attitude.
Su Qingzhi asked Jiang Haobo to make a lot of exquisite posters, and the employees of Fengqu Network turned into ground pushers, and everyone assigned tasks to post small advertisements in Internet cafes in the streets and alleys of Zhongzhou City.
These posters are quite exquisitely made, they look very picturesque, and the texture is also good, most of the owners of Internet cafes don't even charge fees, and they are directly posted in a conspicuous position in the Internet café, so that the Internet café saves the money for wallpaper.
Qin Sheng's Julong Internet café chain is the key area promoted by Fengqu Network, and it has also launched an attractive "play games, give away 10,000 yuan in cash" activity.
During the beta period, as long as you play "Legend" in Julong Internet Cafe, you can draw a lottery with your game account, and during the beta test, you can win a prize with the highest level of cash.
As soon as this event was launched, it completely detonated the Internet.
