Chapter 216: Recent Situation
Unlike the tension on the side of the last days, the development on this side of the world has been even. For emerging Internet technology companies such as Futureren Technology, the government's attitude is still supportive, and Jiang Chen has given the green light in many aspects.
Of course, the reason why the local government's attitude is so friendly is naturally inseparable from the hundreds of millions of taxes paid by the company every month.
Who would hate having a money-making machine at home? It's full of political achievements. What's more, how long has Futureman Technology been established? If it continues to develop, it is difficult to guarantee that a large Internet company that is not inferior to penguins will be born during his tenure.
On the other hand, due to the continuous expansion of the number of users of Future People 1.0, domestic users have exceeded the 200 million mark, and the number of foreign users who download the multilingual version has also exceeded the 400 million mark.
From the rise of Future People 1.0, business elites from all walks of life are also keenly smelling the smell of banknotes, and various letters of intent for cooperation are floating like snowflakes. Xia Shiyu is also very busy with this, because the chairman of the company always plays missing from time to time
Even laymen know that the era of the Internet is an era when traffic is king. This can be seen from the operation of O2O mode software such as beep taxi and mobile phone delivery, and operators even spend a lot of money to attract traffic.
However, Future Man 1.0 does not need to spend money, after all, no one can stand out in the field of artificial intelligence and performance enhancement, and there is no enterprise that is qualified to compete with Future Man Technology in this field for the time being, and users have only one choice.
It is precisely because of the monopoly position of acceleration services and battery optimization services that after operating for 2 months of free services, Futureman Technology has "shamelessly" changed these two services to paid items. New users will get a two-month free trial. But in the third month, if you want to continue to enjoy both services. You have to spend 10 yuan to upgrade to VIP1 users.
In short, you want to hold a smart phone with a 1000 yuan configuration. Enjoy the speed of 2000 yuan to configure a smart phone, just honestly pay the monthly rent of 10 yuan per month.
Will anyone pay for the acceleration service? The answer is clearly yes.
Imagine that the original mobile phone can't run games and software that can't be brought up, because of the acceleration service of Future Man 1.0, your mobile phone will no longer be hot like a burning stick because of playing a game, and you no longer have to watch a movie and have to plan to power up, can you still endure the previous mobile phone experience?
10 yuan a month, which is much cheaper than changing a mobile phone.
Of course, when this fee was first introduced. There was a lot of scolding on the forum. Users who have not charged VIP have said that this is fraud, and they didn't know that this thing would be charged when they downloaded it. Some people even threatened to delete Xiaobai if they were charged.
However, these rhythmic people are only a handful after all, although there are many users, but there are only a few IPs, and they know that they are a water army hired by a boring guy with farts and stocks.
Many paid users who have been upgraded to VIP1 are on the side of Futureren Technology, saying: "Is 10 yuan a lot? Can you eat a meal? "Service is not an obligation. There are so many, don't delete it quickly, don't lower the average IQ of netizens. ”
Users who haven't paid yet have a relatively muted view. As long as the service is worth the price, they don't care about spending money. Mobile phones are affordable. Do you still care about this mere 10 yuan?
However, are those clamoring really willing to delete Future Man 1.0?
In the same month, the number of domestic users who were upgraded to VIP1 exceeded 200 million, and QQ members were killed in seconds with a high and scary payment rate. The market has already given the answer.
As for the overseas market, it is relatively flat.
Because I am used to paying for genuine APP, and I really can't find a cracked version on the Internet. Most users accepted the $2 per month rent.
Just one membership program in the software has brought billions of monthly revenue to Futureman Technology.
Such a terrifying ability to absorb gold. shocked the bigwigs on Wall Street again, and also made those venture capitalists who failed to eat meat beat their chests with regret, although Jiang Chen never said that he would introduce venture capital.
It's an honor. Jiang Chen became the only man who appeared in the Wall Street Journal twice in a row within half a year - a man from China.
On the other hand, compared with the amazing performance of Future Man 1.0, although the response of the mobile game "New Era" was mediocre, it also achieved proud results.
First of all, the number of players in "New Era" has exceeded 50 million, and the number of people online at the same time is approaching the 10 million mark.
A series of profit channels such as auction houses, fashion, warehouse expansion, etc., quickly realize the value of IP, and the good gameplay makes users sticky amazingly. Now, if you just get on the subway or walk around the university classroom, you can basically see the exquisite game graphics of "New Era".
The game editing functions provided by Yao Yao are very powerful, and basically as long as you can get the creative ideas, you can realize them in the game. Now the project team of New Era has expanded to 40 people, of which more than 20 are responsible for the expansion of game content. Some people are in charge of art, specializing in designing characters and fashion models; Some people are in charge of scripts, writing storylines, quests, and so on.
Both the game content and gameplay have received rave reviews, and after some warm-up, the overseas version is also on the shelves as scheduled.
According to Xia Shiyu's report, the number of foreign players has exceeded 80 million and is growing steadily.
Although the monthly revenue of 200 million yuan is still a little inferior to the Future People 1.0 project, it still completely blows up a few streets of peers.
You know, this is a net income of 200 million, not a monthly turnover of 200 million!
Although the monthly turnover of many mobile games can exceed 100 million, due to many factors such as R&D operating costs and bad debts, it is very profitable to convert 30% of this month's turnover into actual revenue.
It is a miracle that a mobile game with a monthly income of 200 million can reach 200 million.
In view of the popularity of this game, many large game guilds have also settled in "New Era", and small game guilds have also sprung up. The popularity of games has naturally led to the development of related industries.
For example, live games, such as professional matches
Many third-party platforms have come directly to the door, hoping to cooperate with Future People Technology on the game "New Era". In this regard, Futureman Technology has also opened the door and treated every potential collaborator with a welcoming attitude
"Sohu hopes to cooperate with us on Future Man 1.0 and New Era, and establish a new joint venture with New Era as the main game."
"What do you think of this proposal?" Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen said lazily.
"It is difficult to recover the cost in the short term, but it will help expand the influence of "New Era" and enhance user stickiness"
"Then please!"
As if expecting Jiang Chen to say this, Xia Shiyu, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Okay, in addition, the representative sent by Daimler Group has arrived in Wanghai City and hopes to discuss cooperation with us. Due to the special identity of the other party's representative, for the sake of etiquette, you can only come forward to negotiate in person. ”
"Daimler Group?" Jiang Chen was stunned, a name he had never heard of.
Xia Shiyu on the other end of the phone was also stunned.
"Isn't that Maybach S600 you drive a product of the Daimler Group?"
Sweat, ugly!
Jiang Chen scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, he really didn't have much research on cars.
"Ahem, who's coming?" To hide his embarrassment, he decided to divert the topic.
"Carmen. Rothschild. (To be continued......)
