Chapter 97: Is This Really a Way to Make Money?

Derivation from chat software?!

The idea was immediately rejected by Zhang Li.

The method of guiding users through the Internet café management software is relatively straightforward, and they hold the authority of the Internet café's computer system in their hands. Whatever he does, install the game hall first. So they can basically guarantee that 100,000 computers, each of which can install a game lobby.

From the chat software lead, it is not so simple and crude. Add a small entrance to the chat software, click on the entrance and then the Xiasen game lobby, then install it further, and then log in further. There will be losses in every step in the middle, and it would be good to have millions of users who can be imported into the game lobby in the end.

And most importantly, chat software made a fortune from Internet cafes, and the first users of chat software almost all logged in to Internet cafes.

Until now, most of the chat software login IPs are in Internet cafes. To put it another way, a large part of the users of the Internet café management system and the chat software coincide.

Expecting more players to be brought in from the chat software will not be too optimistic.

"Why are you so bitter with your expression, I still have some ideas. Xia Sen looked at Zhang Li's embarrassed face and couldn't help but smile.

"Boss, I serve you the most in the world. Zhang Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Say, what else is to do?"

"It's a competition. Xia Sen smiled.

This is something he has planned for a long time, and the gaming industry will enter the era of competition in the near future. With a competitive game in their hands, it is natural to grab territory and gain experience in this direction.

"Ah, holding a competition?" Zhang Li was stunned. It took me a long time to react, and I couldn't help but blurt out a series of questions, "What kind of competition, where to do it?"

"It's okay to play Go, it's okay to play chess, but it's also good to fight landlords. Xia Sen thought about it for a while, and happily decided, "Let's start with fighting the landlord first." ”

Zhang Li: "......"

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start complaining, and the despair in his heart couldn't help but arise spontaneously.

Running a competition sounds so simple, but how easy is it to execute? How do you get the venue? What are the rules of the competition system? What is the process? They have never had experience in running a competition, and they don't even have anyone who understands it.

Was this a decision made by the seemingly wise little boss?

"Not only to do, but also to expand the scope, fighting landlords in the country is a relatively conventional game, both in the north and south there are a lot of loyal players. If we want to do it, we will hold a national game competition. Xia Sen said.

"How many people do you need to set up the scene and maintain order?" Zhang Li was about to go crazy.

If it's a national character, at least it should be held in a relatively core city, right? Ten or twenty competition venues can't be run. Is it going to kick all the programmers out of his family to run competitions? Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to do that. With his own temper, let him go to the scene to maintain order, and he has to fight with others.

"You don't have to be on the scene to maintain order. Xia Sen replied.

"If we don't maintain order, how can we start the competition? Let them play on their own, that will definitely not work, the scene is not chaotic. Zhang Li shook his head again and again, this time with a categorical refusal, "I don't think it's a question of how to start this competition." It doesn't matter whether it's maintaining order on the spot or preparing the playing field. The most important thing is that with the current staffing of our company, it is not suitable for holding competitions for the time being. ”

"Whoever says competition, it must be an offline competition. Isn't it good to play online?" Xia Sen smiled.

"Online competition?" Zhang Li was stunned.

"Yes, all the competition was done online. Xia Sen said.

"Online competition..."Zhang Li fell into deep thought.

That's right, who said that the competition should be held on the Internet? Why can't the competition be held on the Internet? The Internet is a very suitable platform!

They're an online game where all the users are online. As long as the competition is held online, they only need to stipulate the process and rules of the competition in the game. You can avoid all the problems they are not good at.

You don't need to be in a certain city, you don't need a venue, you don't need to maintain order! As long as it's at a fixed point in time, no, even a fixed point in time doesn't need to be confirmed!

Open a specific Match Room for a specific period of time. All players who sign up to participate will enter the competition room and wait for the match to be matched with other participants. Once the contestants have started to get together, just start the competition.

You don't need to know what time the game starts, or even who your opponent is!

The tournament can directly use the point system, requiring each player to participate in a specific round of competition. You can earn specific points for each victory, and you will deduct certain points for defeats. At the end of the competition, all you need to do is calculate each player's points!

Zhang Li suddenly brightened!

He's a game designer by training, and he knows pretty much about this kind of thing. After he figured out the premise of holding a game competition on the Internet, the more he thought about it, the smoother it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible!

"You're so powerful! How do you have a brain!" Zhang Li couldn't help but slap Xia Sen. To come up with such groundbreaking attention is nothing short of genius!

Xia Sen: "......"

It's common sense for us, okay...

"I'm going to get it. Zhang Li couldn't wait to stand up and wanted to arrange tasks for his employees. If you want to hold such an online competition, you still need to do a lot of preparation.

"Wait, don't worry. Xia Sen seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped Zhang Li and said, "After the game, the top three must be given cash prizes." ”

Zhang Li: "How to give?"

"Hmm...," Xia Sen thought for a while and said, "First, second, and third, give 10,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan, and 5,000 yuan in cash respectively." ”

Zhang Li suddenly remembered Xia Sen's original intention to discuss the online competition with him. Don't you want to make enough 60 million cash in a short period of time to offset the money for share repurchases?

“…… Are you sure you're running this game to make money, not to lose money?"
