Chapter 060: "League of Legends" is officially in operation

On October 15, Riot officially negotiated with Penguin to operate the League of Legends game on a 55-5 basis. If it were to be used in other games, how could Penguin talk about the next four-six split or even higher.

Penguin's QQ account can be directly converted into the setting of a game account, which can bring enough players to any game. Take a look at every game of Penguin Agent, whether it is good or bad, it is profitable, even if it is a shoddy game, it is more popular than other operators.

With this, Penguin can be proud of the Chinese game market, and it has always been others who ask him to endorse him. But "League of Legends" is different, "League of Legends" originally had tens of millions of fans in China, and the copyright owner of "League of Legends" is Liu Shuo, a popular person.

Now Liu Shuo is recognized as the first person in the animation industry in China, although he is not as good as those old artists in terms of artistry, but to say that making money is definitely the first in China.

All art comes from making money, because artists also have to eat, so making money is the guarantee of art. But art is not just about making money, just because you make money to engage in art, you will definitely starve yourself to death in the end.

The "League of Legends" game is also quite famous in China, and the trial area in the Olympic Animation Industrial Park is full every day, so that people who like to play games can't put it down. There may be many people who like this game more than that, and there may be many people who want this game, but the vast majority of people will still experience such a game.

After the server was set up, Penguin directly opened 10 large areas, and then in an instant, the first telecom area was full and could no longer be entered. Ten minutes later, the second telecom area was also full, and fifteen minutes later, the first Netcom area was full......

Half an hour later, the penguins had to open five more zones to relieve the pressure.

You must know that today is Saturday, and everyone is on holiday except for those who work overtime. The client is all placed in advance, just waiting for the moment when "League of Legends" opens!

Within 24 hours, the average number of online users was more than 580,000, and the peak number of online users was 1.12 million.

And that's not the point, it's about making a profit. Because it's the first day, everyone doesn't have much gold, and if you want to buy your favorite heroes, you can only use bonds, which are white money!

The fan groups of major domestic heroes have played a heavy role, they have started their favorite heroes for the first time, and they have the ability to buy skins again, and some people even buy a full set of skins directly. You must know that Liu Shuo's version of the skin is much more than the original time and space's "League of Legends".

In the "League of Legends" comics, there will often be some side stories, such as the side stories of the sports meeting, which are directly removed from a series, and there are about 105 heroes with sports series skins. Then there are series of skins such as the hospital series, the star series, the high-tech series, and so on, all of which have a large number of heroes. These series of skins only need to be set on the model, and then handed over to the special effects to deal with, except for the workload of the special effects, the other work has hardly increased much, and even the actions do not need to be changed much.

And Riot also produced a set of Chinese-style skin series according to Liu Shuo's instructions, that is, the Three Kingdoms series. This series is still marked by Penguin as high as 199 yuan, but it sells very well.

As long as they are heroes in a group, they will get a Three Kingdoms skin if they have the ability.

As a result, the turnover of "League of Legends" exceeded 1 billion yuan on the first day. In the next few days, the daily turnover was not less than 300 million, and it was directly earned.

In foreign countries, "League of Legends" has also begun to operate, and Riot has negotiated 57 agents, with an agent area of 106 countries and regions, and agents have been found in East Asia, Southeast Asia, North America and Europe. Because some countries in the European Union are very small, there are many agents who represent several countries.

These 57 agents basically cover the whole world. Of course, the timing of their operation is not consistent, some start operating in mid-September, and some are officially launched in late December. Although it took three months, League of Legends was able to complete all operations before 2009.

In these countries and regions, the popularity of "League of Legends" is not much less than that in China. And foreign players have good economic ability, and they also have a lot of favorite heroes and skins, so if they don't have gold, they have to buy them with money.

Many people have noticed a strange phenomenon that the gold in the game can only buy heroes and runes, but bonds cannot buy runes. Why is that? That's what Riot did to limit the gap.

It is also a full level, the number of gold coins is almost the same, and the runes that can be bought are also the same. If someone buys a hero with gold, then the number of runes will definitely be less than the number of runes in full. This is not to blame others, it is your own choice of play, and it is also your own fault that is suppressed in the game, don't complain about the imbalance of the game.

Liu Shuo took the property of Riot Company in October, and the smile on his face never stopped.

He Dan watched Liu Shuo staring at the report with a smile for more than half an hour, and couldn't help but rub his face with some worry, "I'm still smiling, my face is going to cramp!" ”

Liu Shuo put down the report, then picked up He Dan and said loudly: "I'm rich!" ”

"Rich? You've been rich for a long time! He Dan said inexplicably.

Liu Shuo put He Dan down and slapped it on the financial statements, "The previous ones were all pediatrics, this is the real fortune!" ”

"How much is it, and you get rich?" He Dan looked at the report curiously, and was stunned, because it was written that Riot's profit in October reached more than $400 million. After removing the cost of the company's operation, as well as the expenses of the company's normal operation, and paying taxes, Liu Shuo can extract dividends of up to $120 million.

The 120 million can go into Liu Shuo's pocket, which is different from the money in the animation industrial park that can only be used on Manfeng Company. No wonder Liu Shuo said that he had made a fortune, and as much as 800 or 900 million RMB could be transferred to Liu Shuo's private account.

Of course, according to U.S. law, if Liu Shuo wants to enter a Chinese account, then this money will be deducted a lot. Liu Shuo didn't know what to do with the money, and he was reluctant to give so much to the U.S. tax department when he withdrew it, but if he didn't withdraw it, he was still worried that something would go wrong one day.

After thinking about it, he decided to make an investment. In the United States, you can't invest in the stock market, because you don't know when you will encounter a financial crisis, Liu Shuo doesn't have time to pay attention to these, what he has to do is long-term investment, and the best investment is to spend money on sports.
