Chapter 295: Let the game become a profession

It's been a week since the launch of "Inner Demons", and 280 million players have entered the game, a number that has driven countless media crazy, but even so, there are still a large number of players who have not successfully entered the game.

One point in particular that left everyone a little confused.

In the game "Heart Demon", there are no charging items, and the game doesn't seem to need a point card, as long as you download the game, you can squeeze into the server, and it seems that you can play casually.

Is Inner Demon really a free-to-play game in the full sense of the word?

When designing the game on the island of Esabis, Lindy originally set the game to be a point card charging model, but this idea changed during a conversation with Qian Lai.

At 8 p.m. on July 7, New World finally issued an announcement.

【New World Bank Officially Established!New World Game Trading Network Officially Revised!】

This is explained in more detail in the announcement.

"The New World Bank was officially established, and from July 8, 2020, this website will gradually cancel other payment methods, and the list of the first batch of cancelled payment methods is as follows. ”

Below the post is a list of some local banks, but at present, the five major banks in Huaxia, the most popular online payment methods are still retained.

"The New World Trading System will be revamped, and players will need to bind their New World Bank account before they can make cash transactions. ”

"New World Trading Network will officially launch the "Heart Demon" trading area on the 10th of this month. ”

Seeing this announcement, the first thing to get nervous about was the few banks that were delisted by New World.

As a result of its cooperation with third-party payment platforms, NWCL is required to pay a handling fee of one pip per month to these payment platform service providers.

These third-party platforms, who would have thought that New World would develop to the extent it is today, the handling fee of one point at the beginning has brought them tens of billions of yuan in revenue!

Now it seems that the new world is ready to make this money on its own.

At the imperial capital headquarters of Nanxin Bank, Cheng Jianbin, CEO of Nanxin Bank, was frowning tightly at this time, looking at the announcement of the new world.

Their bank was very unfortunate and was in the first list of delisted banks in New World.

In the recent half-year performance returns, Nanxin Bank made a net profit of 400 million yuan just from receiving points from New World! The credit card department of the whole country, tens of thousands of employees, worked tirelessly, and had to worry about the proportion of non-performing assets, and only earned more than 1 billion yuan in half a year! As a result, it set up a transfer channel in New World, and earned 400 million yuan in half a year! This cost performance is completely incomparable.

At the meeting, he just said at that time that he would launch more preferential activities for New World players, so that more players could use Nanxin's card payment and seize more New World users, but it was only a month, and they were actually kicked by New World!

With a long sigh, Cheng Jianbin frowned.

This news is really scary.

It's okay to lose a few hundred million, anyway, everyone can't make this money, and they have a psychological balance, but New World is its own bank, and this news is enough to shake the entire banking world.

Picked up the phone and called Li Li from the market research department.

"Mr. Cheng, you call me?"

Mr. Cheng's face was solemn, "Have you read the announcement of the new world?"

When Li Li heard this, did he find a confidant?

"Look, "Heart Demon" will be launched on July 1, and this news is everywhere on the Internet, boss, you also play "Heart Demon"?

Cheng Jianbin frowned......

"What I'm talking about is that New World has made its own bank, and it has also removed our bank's payment channels in New World. ”

"Ahh

"I know that you are not in charge of the business of New World, don't you like to study New World? I just want to ask, what do you think about this? Come, sit. ”

Li Li finally understood that the boss was not looking for his own team.

"Mr. Cheng, when is this news?" Li Li sat down in front of Cheng Jianbin, "This news, too ...... It's so sudden. ”

"Today, I just saw it. What are your thoughts?"

Li Li's mind was spinning rapidly, "Is there any room for maneuver? ”

"Have you ever seen New World revise the announcement?" Cheng Jianbin asked rhetorically.

Li Li took a deep breath, the new world has never changed the announcement, the boss's meaning is very clear, and the announcement has been issued, that is, they have been dumped Nanxin.

With his arms propped up on his knees on both sides, Li Li pursed his lips and frowned tightly, "Boss, for the new world, I can only say that we had better retreat." ”

"Retreat?"

Li Li raised his head, looked directly at Cheng Jianbin, and nodded solemnly, "Boss, I don't know if you have heard that New World has just eaten Aurora and Tianyu?"

Cheng Jianbin nodded.

Li Li continued, "Boss, I'm just talking about my personal thoughts, after all, I haven't done scientific market research, so it's not necessarily right." ”

Cheng Jianbin nodded, "It's okay, just talk about it." ”

Li Li got Cheng Jianbin's permission, and then said just now, "Boss, the current strength of the new world can be said to be unfathomable, their fixed assets, if you add Tianyu and Aurora, should not be less than 700 billion, but this is definitely not their real strength, I have roughly calculated the total income of the new world, there are currently 36 games in the new world, according to online statistics, the total income of the new world should be between 2 trillion and 3 trillion......"

"So many?" Cheng Jianbin was a little frightened.

"Boss, I've always played games in New World, so it's clear that online games are really not good, so take "The Last Survivor" Let's talk about it,This game is free to install on the Gemini mobile phone,But then the new world provided other models of downloads,The download price is 400 yuan,I checked the number of followers in the game area,The number is 430 million,Gemini sales are hot,But after all, it's just been online for a month,Sales are dead,Let's count 100 million,Then the rest of the users,It's likely that they are all players who downloaded the game,Let's give a discount,330 million Even if 200 million people paid to download this game,How much is that?80 billion!"

"This is still a game that has not been online for a long time, if an old game like Tetris, I say it has 1 billion downloads, 280 downloads at a time, then it is 280 billion!"

"Boss, think about it, there are 36 games in New World! So their financial strength, saying 2 trillion I think is a conservative number, and it can't be more conservative. I don't know how much it costs to make a game, but if I think about it, the lion's share is the salary of the personnel, so how much can it be?"

Cheng Jianbin doesn't play many games, he has only played a few games in New World, and he really hasn't carefully calculated the assets of New World. It's no wonder that hearing Li Li's estimation, the BEO of a bank is so shocked!

"Boss, our Nanxin partners in the new world are relatively small, let's be honest, just like that, we can draw 400 million deduction points in half a year! What if it is those online payment platforms? I think it must be a very terrifying number. ”

Cheng Jianbin closed his eyes slightly, Li Li's analysis is very reasonable, due to work reasons, he has been in contact with the CEOs of several banks, and he has also talked about the problem of the new world before, although several old foxes have not given accurate figures, but one thing is certain, this is indeed a very considerable income.

Taking a 1% commission from the New World has already made many banks make a lot of money, so the strength of the New World is probably unimaginable.

Li Li continued to analyze, "Boss, New World is now a super conglomerate, so if they want to be a bank, I don't think we should fight with them." ”

Li Li saw that the boss's face was cloudy, and quickly added, "However, this new world seems to have a characteristic. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jianbin looked at Li Li suspiciously.

"All the industries in the new world are related to games, I heard that they have closed all the securities, stocks, futures and other businesses of Tianyu before, and most of their real estate development has been given a hundred years, and they only need to build a game center and mobile phones on a piece of land, all of which are based on games, and other functions are mainly through the game assistant to increase the intelligence of the entire mobile phone. Besides, their films and television only make films related to movies. ”

After Li Li said this, Cheng Jianbin thought about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

"So what you mean?"

"When they are a bank, their main focus should be on serving their game industry, so we can choose to back down and focus on other businesses. Although nearly 10 years of income is gone, but it's better than being eaten by the monster of the new world, with my observation of the new world, they are crazy, and anyone really dares to do it!"

……………………

Li Li is right, Lindy has no ambition for the financial industry, what he wants to do is to get back his part of the money.

Now that the new world is fully capable of being a bank, what is the purpose of giving this money back to others?

Of course, the main reason is that he really doesn't have the energy to develop the bank's other businesses, unless he draws another super manager.

On this day, Lindy was inspecting Qimeng, and Qian Lai told him that Qili's art department was seizing the time to optimize "Sharpshooter", and the work was nearing completion.

"Boss, isn't it a bit cost-effective for your "Heart Demon" to charge like this?" Qian Lai accompanied Lindy.

"This game is different from other games, there are many professions, and it is fine, each profession needs specific props to develop, the goods provided by NPCs are also very limited, most of the high-level items, are obtained by players to explore, then the transaction volume of the whole server will be very large, our trading network will charge a handling fee of 10 points per transaction, I believe that such a fee should be far greater than a one-time charge. As for the point card charge, in fact, the point card charge also has drawbacks, and it is too expensive!"

"Also, I have another intention for this game. ”

"Boss, are you trying less?

This is a dream, Lindy has to give money to save some face, otherwise a brain scoop will definitely be indispensable.

"I want to make the trading network work a miracle. Lindy smiled and shook her head, the money is still very cheap.

"What do you mean, boss?"

"I'm going to make gaming a profession!" Lindy smiled.
