Chapter 247: Prospects
In fact, the biggest reason for the hot sale of small equipment in Internet cafes is that there is very little equipment in each district server, and in the final analysis, it was caused by Li Zhengyi's malicious hoarding of equipment.
Now when it comes to hot-selling equipment in Internet cafes, players who have a little pocket money will basically buy one or two, or change weapons, or change clothes. The appearance of the players who have purchased and obtained the equipment they want makes Li Zhengyi begin to reflect on whether it is a bit too much to use unlimited funds to hoard equipment in the early stage?
Well, it's okay to do it without doing it, and there's no point in talking about it.
In order to show fairness and arouse the desire of Internet café players to buy, the four display screens are highlighted and refreshed a record, which records the purchaser's membership card ID and order time. Some equipment and skill books are only the same, those that have not been bought, and you can know why you haven't bought them from the information, which is very simple, because the time of placing an order is later than others.
Other kinds of equipment and skill books, there is an endless stream of orders, Lin Wenxing was busy on the second floor, and by the way, Li Yong, Wang Liming and Kang Shiyan were commanded.
If there is one thing that is the most purchased, it is undoubtedly gold bars.
Some players with high membership levels in Internet cafes have a very high discount for buying gold bars, and the original Internet café platform buys a discount of 10%, plus a certain percentage of the point level discount, and the final price of gold bars purchased is even lower than 40 yuan, which is about 65 gold bars in the current district service, which is about one-third cheaper.
High-level members with flexible eyes can buy in bulk at one time, and then shout and sell in the district server, which is 5-10 yuan lower than the usual price, and the business is actually good.
Li Zheng turned a blind eye to the behavior of reselling, anyway, gold bars and coins belonged to him as a thing with no profit and no profit, and he could sell it no matter how he wanted, and it was not bad to eat meat by himself and let the members of the Internet café drink soup.
Two hours later, Lin Wenxing's second-floor studio slowly relaxed, and as soon as the wave of players' purchases passed, it began to enter a plateau.
The sale of equipment and skill books is only for a while, and the group of Internet cafes is only so large, there is always an upper limit. As long as the number of high-level equipment and skill books sold is controlled, Zhengyi Internet Cafe can continue to maintain high popularity and high attractiveness.
The number of high-level equipment and skill books is actually not much, and it will be gone when it is sold out, and if it is released all at once, not only will it not achieve its intended purpose, but players will even think that there are a lot of things, and they will not buy it if they are too expensive, and they will wait for you to reduce the price after you can't sell it.
Therefore, Li Zhengyi explained to Shao Qin that good things should control the frequency of sales. For example, the summoning of divine beasts, the stock itself is not much, including the number of contracted corpse king halls and the earliest purchase in bookstores, the most in the district is 30, and the least is only 16. The explosion rate of advanced skill books is not high, if you are lucky, you will have one in two days, and if you are unlucky, it is possible that you will not be able to explode in three or four days.
The reason for controlling the frequency of sales is not that you are afraid of being coaxed by players, in fact, it doesn't matter if you really want to be coaxed, sooner or later you will have to sell. Li Zhengyi is worried about the reasons mentioned above, afraid that the players will hesitate, which will lead to unsalable, and then cause a bad chain reaction, then the gains outweigh the losses.
The news that Zhengyi Internet Cafe sells legendary virtual items, especially advanced skill books, spread throughout the entire Qingyun District within a few days, and slowly spread to Xiangning City through radiation.
Within three days, the number of members of Zhengyi Internet Cafe reached 1,000, and Li Zhengyi closed the registration channel and stopped registering new members under the pretext that the number of members exceeded twice the number of computers in the Internet café.
Players from Qingyun District and even other parts of Xiangning City heard that they could not register, so they asked their bosses to open up their sales business, and Li Zhengyi explained that there were restrictions on the design of the software, and they must be Internet café members or have a platform account to buy it.
The so-called platform account is something that Li Zhengyi tossed out, and to put it bluntly, it is actually the same thing as a member account. However, a regular account can only be used to purchase things, not to surf the Internet.
Players who come from afar don't care, the purpose of their coming is nothing more than to see if there are any items they need, purely to buy things, and whether they can access the Internet is not a big problem. Besides, if you want to buy something, you can only do things according to the rules of the platform.
A week later, the ordinary account exceeded 1,000, and half a month later, the ordinary account exceeded 3,000. Then it seems to reach its limit and begin to stagnate it.
Li Zhengyi knows that the Internet café purchase platform is limited by geographical factors and target groups, and has reached the limit of registration, and wants to continue to grow, unless it can be released to the outside world and give due publicity, but in that case, it will no longer be an Internet café purchase platform, but will become an external trading website.
For trading websites, Li Zhengyi has extravagant hopes, and he is too late to be happy if he can really turn the Internet café purchase platform into an external trading website, but he has never been in contact with it and doesn't know where to start.
With this question, Li Zhengyi deliberately found Shi Shengjie and said what he thought in his heart.
Shi Shengjie thought carefully for a while and said, "Your idea didn't come out of nowhere, right?"
"Why do you ask that?" Li Zhengyi was a little curious about Shi Shengjie's question.
"Because I remember what you said when you first talked about buying platforms in internet cafes. Shi Shengjie explained, "That time, you said that the purchase platform is temporarily limited to Internet cafes, and at that time I vaguely felt that this matter is not so simple, and you have a premonition when you talk about it today, so I am not surprised." ”
Li Zheng nodded and said: "I did have this plan for a long time, but I don't know if it can be successful, and there should be a lot of issues involved in releasing it to the outside world, and I don't understand it very well." After all, once it becomes a website, it becomes a website, and the groups and challenges it faces are not comparable to that of a mere Internet café. ”
Shi Shengjie asked, "Listen to your tone, it's not just for games?"
Li Zhengyi said frankly: "The game is a test of the waters, the effect is good, and it must be spread by the whole people." The model can be explored little by little, and the website can slowly grow and develop. Of course, the goal can be set a little bigger, and the meal should still be eaten in one bite. ”
"Have you carefully considered the difficulties?" Shi Shengjie began to pour cold water.
"Considered. Li Zheng nodded and said, "There will definitely be a lot of miscellaneous things, and when it really works, it is definitely not something that the existing framework can do, and the follow-up investment will be very large." ”
Shi Shengjie said: "You are right, there are many problems to be solved in the external release. Simple such as domain name registration, website maintenance, difficult such as website publicity, website promotion, and the ultimate is of course website operation. Among them, for now, the biggest challenge is the promotion and recognition of trading methods. ”
