Josh Sawyer was dumbfounded. You must know that when he was in the "Black Island Studio", from a small game creator to a production planner, he was worried about the cost all the time. When you are a game creator, the company only pays a small amount of money for their game, and when Josh Sawyer tries to climb the production planner, she wants to give the game team a little more money to open the game below, but there is nothing she can do. The parent company, NTRP1Y, has no money at all, and only a little bit can be allocated to them. Later, well, there was no funding at all, leaving them to be self-sufficient, which eventually led to the dissolution of "Black Island Studio".

And now, just after coming to "Second Shijie", Lin Feng boldly shouted out the acquisition of the "NTRP1Y" company, and the acquisition of the "NTRP1Y" company was only to buy the copyright of "Fallout", which has made Josh Sawyer not know what to say. But Josh Sawyer knows one thing, and that is that he will never worry about running out of money for game creation from now on.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, I will leave the matter of acquiring the 'ntrp1y' company to you. Lin Feng turned on the computer and called up the information of the "ntrp1y" company searched through "Baidu-Yahoo", and it was found that the current financial crisis of the "ntrp1y" company was quite serious.

According to the information searched by "Baidu-Yahoo", the "NTRP1Y" company has been fined $70,090 for arrears of employees' salaries, $170,090 in unpaid taxes, $432,000 in arrears in lease fees, and $150,060 in agency fees for "BR" and "Patergate". It doesn't cost much to acquire such a company. Therefore, Lin Feng is very relieved to hand it over to Wu Zhaopu to handle, otherwise every time Lin Feng goes out, it will be too much of a fuss, not to mention that the rest of the company is a little incompetent. Of course, this is also because Lin Feng feels that he is always running around and a little tired. In the past, Lin Feng was very eager to negotiate everywhere, but in the past few years, he has always been running around, which makes Lin Feng feel a little tired. As the chairman, I am too tired.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. He had wanted to be in charge of this aspect for a long time, but unfortunately Lin Feng had always refused to let go, so he was a little helpless. This is a chance, and he wants to perform well.

"By the way, Josh, what do you think of web games, especially the three web games that your department is working on?" Lin Feng was eager to know what the internationally renowned game producer had to say about web games.

Josh Sawyer groaned slightly.

"BSS, as for browser games, I think they are far inferior to large online role-playing games and single-player games because they don't have a client. Therefore, in order to attract players, I think that browser games should put more effort into game data and connotation. For example, "Gundam" and "Three Kingdoms" are pure data streaming games, and we can use the data of each machine, the data of each general, and the data of the city to attract players. As for "Star Change", I just finished reading it, and I am very fascinated by the magic Shijie described in it, so in my design concept, "Star Change" needs to use its vast and boundless Shijie concept to attract players, due to the inherent graphics limitations of web games, so we can show players a simulation of "Star Change Shijie". Josh Sawyer spoke eloquently.

"Especially for the timeline mentioned by BSS, I have a deep admiration for the boss. It is really a great design to let the player practice at the same time as Qin Yu, the protagonist of the "Star Change" novel, and then experience those events in the novel. By the way, BSS, are these three games going to be played on one server for all players, or are they divided into different servers?" asked Josh Sawyer. This matter is related to his opening of these three browser games.

Lin Feng pondered.

"Let's just use a level server. After all, this is a web game, and most of it is pure data and text traffic, compared to those large online role-playing games, the data traffic is far from the same, just use a level server. Lin Feng said.

Josh Sawyer nodded. In this way, when he designs and creates, he can add some of his own ideas. Josh Sawyer is very much looking forward to these three games, and these three games are all about the more people the more fun, and now that Lin Feng has decided to let all players play on the same level server, he can add a few big scenes.

Think of the happiness of thousands of mecha in the Gundam game Shijie, who are in the air at the same time, fighting in the air, the sound of gunfire, the flashing of lasers in the sky, and the roar of the explosion of the body. And in "Three Kingdoms", when you are attacked by hundreds or thousands of enemy countries, call friends and friends to call for the help of the allies, and the two sides start a series of battles, how spectacular that scene is;

Josh Sawyer is obsessed!

Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu looked at each other and smiled. For Josh Sawyer, this situation is all too common in the "second shijie", almost everywhere. The two of them didn't bother Josh Sawyer, leaving Josh Sawyer alone to ponder.

"Boss, how are you going to charge for these three browser games?" In the company's leisure hall, Wu Zhaopu asked curiously.

As far as the current online game charging mode is concerned, there are four kinds: one is the point card charge, which is also the traditional charge; the other is the "free" charging model, but in the game to sell props to charge, this is also the current charging mode of other online games, after all, for other online game companies, at present, they want to fight against the "second shijie" behemoth, the point card charging model is self-defeating, and only the so-called "free" is used to fight against Lin Feng's "second shijie"; The third charging model is the "second shijie" original "coin type", similar to arcade games, each time you cast a "coin", you can play a game, for any time, until you end the game, and the fourth is to attract investment in the game, using the investment of advertisers to offset the cost of game operation, and make money ("Virtual Life" adopts this model).

In Wu Zhaopu's view, it is better to adopt the second charging model, so that players can play for free, but the pain of wanting to play is to spend money to buy props in the game, and this is also in line with the characteristics of web games, so that all players can log in to the web page to play. This is very attractive to many office workers. Of course, there are also drawbacks, that is, it is extremely easy to create an imbalance in the game, and this has always been avoided by the "second shijie". Therefore, the charging model of these three browser games has been very, very much a headache for Wu Zhaopu.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Wu, your consideration is right, the second charging model is indeed very suitable for web games, but the imbalance of the game brought about by this charging model is undoubtedly very fatal to other players, which will drive other players out of the game. Lin Feng said worriedly.

Wu Zhaopu also sighed. Indeed, it is also something that has kept him awake lately. Now that the game is out, but how much it will cost has not yet been determined, isn't it very confusing?

The two of them sat in the leisure hall, silently drinking tea, thinking about what to do.

After a long time.

"Mr. Wu, I decided to adopt a full charging model and a progress charging model. Lin Feng said.

Progress charging model?Wu Zhaopu muttered a few words.

"It's very simple, Mr. Wu, the so-called progress charging model means that players can enter the game for free, and for a period of time, it is completely free, but as the player progresses in the game, when the player opens the chapter in the game, the player needs to spend a little to buy the game qualification in the chapter, and then he can continue to play. And then, everything else is completely free. Lin Feng said thoughtfully.

Wu Zhaopu was stunned. This charging model is quite strange, will players accept the progress charging model? Will there be a rebellious mentality?

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Wu, it's very simple, such as "Gundam", so many scenes, so many planets, every time a player enters a planet, he needs to pay a certain fee, and this fee can be paid by the player with game currency, or with cash, everything depends on the player's own choice. Of course, items that will directly affect the balance of the game will never be sold in the game. Lin Feng explained.

Wu Zhaopu suddenly realized that if this is the case, it is a good attempt.

"Then try it out first and see how the players react. Lin Feng commanded.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. If this attempt can be successful, it will be regarded as adding another online game charging model.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, what do you think about the charging model of "Shijie Wars"?" Lin Feng held the teacup and groaned slightly.

Wu Zhaopu took a breath. This total investment has exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars (including the cost of opening and 3D simulation map design of city maps in various game countries), which can be said to be the most expensive game in the world to create. At present, the "Second Shijie" is saddled with a debt of 2.5 billion US dollars, a large part of which is invested in the opening of "Shijie War" and the "Second Shijie" headquarters building "Century Light".

If Shijie Wars can't bring a reasonable fee, it's a fatal blow to the company.

"Boss, I think it's appropriate to take the point card charging model. In terms of the quality of the game, it will definitely attract players from all over the world to join this infinitely exciting game Shijie. Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng nodded. However, I am not ready to adopt the point card charging model, but is ready to adopt the free model.

Wu Zhaopu was stunned. If this is free, how can the $1.3 billion invested in "Shijie Wars" be recovered?

"Boss, do you really want to be free?" Wu Zhaopu was a little anxious.

Lin Feng haha smiled.

"Mr. Wu, it's not really completely free, after all, this completely free charging model is impossible to make a game run for a long time. By free, I just mean that players don't need to top up to play. Lin Feng explained.

"Isn't that similar to the 'free model' launched by domestic online game agents?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned. This kind of charging model will definitely destroy the balance of the game, and if that's really the case, "Shijie Wars" will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhaopu suddenly became anxious. "Shijie Wars" has invested so much money and effort, and it must not be destroyed like this.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, I will never agree with the free model I am talking about, and the kind of superficial free, secretly selling props to make money, and the way of killing chickens and eggs that destroys the balance of the game. Lin Feng said with relief.

"What do you mean, boss?" Wu Zhaopu wondered for a while.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Wu, "Shijie Wars" is a first-person shooter online game, and in order to ensure that as many players as possible join the game Shijie of "Shijie Wars", free is a must. Because this is the only way to attract players who love "Shijie Wars" around the world, and if you adopt a point card charging model, it will block a large number of players from the game, which is a short-sighted behavior in the long run. As for the 'free model' adopted by domestic online game agents, it is an absolute act of killing chickens and eggs, and it is not advisable. When it comes to an online game, especially a shooter, balance is absolutely crucial. Lin Feng said cautiously.

Wu Zhaopu was stunned. He couldn't figure out what Lin Feng was thinking at all. It seems that he, the boss, will have some amazing moves.

"Mr. Wu, "Shijie War", the reason why this game is named "Shijie War", the ultimate goal is to let players around the world fight in the game Shijie, and let players from all over the world fight for those lands, national borders, honors and the like in the virtual Shijie. Therefore, in the future, "Shijie Wars" will definitely be large-scale battles. Therefore, if "Shijie Wars" wants to make money, it must take a long-term view. Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"Take a long-term view?" Wu Zhaopu was confused.

"It's very simple, Shijie Wars will be a large-scale battle in the future, a large-scale battle between guilds and guilds, and between countries, how big do you say the business opportunities should be!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a burst of golden light.
