Chapter 114: Point Cards, Point Cards
At the very least, the early closed beta can also attract a group of new players. If you do the closed beta after the open beta of the Ethereal Journey, I believe everyone's attention will turn to the Ethereal Journey, who cares about your game. Moreover, the legend of Chen Tianqiao's agent does not have much fame in South Korea and does not attract the attention of many players. Of course, Chen Tianqiao also wants to act as an agent for Heaven, but Heaven is red and purple in South Korea, and Chen Tianqiao is only two or three million, how can he act as an agent.
On the same day, the network, which had just signed a contract with South Korea's Actoz company, announced that it was the "legend" that it would start internal testing next week. There are those who do not understand this move. I think, this network is crazy about money? The game has just come back, and it hasn't even been advertised for a few days, so I'm thinking about the internal test?
Of course, there are also peers who express their understanding, especially several game companies that will go public in the near future. Looking at the internal test of the ethereal journey from afar, it is in full swing, if they don't take action, I'm afraid that when the ethereal public beta is taken, they can only sit and wait for death. Presumably, the network made this move, and it was also a helpless move. After all, no one wants their company to be ruined.
After announcing this, the network entered the preparation stage for internal testing.
On the one hand, it manages the operation of the server and internal testing internally, and the other is externally, mainly selling the game point cards of the network to the whole country. It's just that now the Internet is not famous at all, and few people have heard of the game legends of the agent. Some newsstands, Internet cafes and other consignment points do not dare to buy easily. For this reason, Chen Tianqiao was also ruthless. Send a direct message, sell all the points first, and then collect the money after they sell out.
There are still some risks in this area, and I dare not say that I will not be able to recover the money by then, but it is very possible that the time to collect the money will be delayed for too long. But at the critical juncture, Chen Tianqiao can only do this.
……
Tang Dynasty Network.
"Sister Liu, have the major game companies made any new moves recently?"
Although the ethereal journey is still very good from the reaction effect of the internal test. It's just that, under the influence of the Tang Dynasty network, now major domestic online game companies have launched their own products. For example, You Long's "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" launched a public beta during the internal test of the ethereal journey. This 2D round game, which is quite popular in China, has also attracted many players under the banner of Jin Yong.
Regarding the actions of these game companies, Tang Dynasty Network must be taken seriously.
"From the current point of view, the game companies represented by the Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes that have entered the open beta or closed beta in advance include Red Moon, Millennium, Dragon Clan, and Three Kingdoms Century...... There's also a web legend. ”
Liu Sichen reported a lot of trends in online game companies, and in the last sentence, the legend of the Internet shocked Chen Jiayi. After carefully recalling the development of the legend in later generations, Chen Jiayi clearly remembered that the closed beta of the legend at that time was in September 2001, and then the public beta began in November. Since then, in 2002, the legend reached 600,000 concurrent online people. If it weren't for the legendary plug-in later, I believe it would only be a matter of time before it broke 800,000.
Unexpectedly, the emergence of the ethereal journey now has changed some of the course of the legend.
Thinking about it, although Chen Tianqiao is a genius, he is now acting as an agent for the legend with all his might, and he does not necessarily think that he can successfully operate the legend. Especially after the internal test of the ethereal journey, presumably Chen Tianqiao's confidence will be greatly hit. In such a situation, in order not to make the legendary stillborn, I had to test it in advance.
"Tell me about the recent actions of the Internet."
Even though the network is still a small company, Chen Jiayi still attaches great importance to it. Back then, Chen Tianqiao was able to rely on a legend to achieve a miracle of online games. That proves that Chen Tianqiao is indeed a genius. You must know that in terms of playability, Legend cannot be compared with many domestic games.
"Chen Tianqiao, president of the network, recently announced that its legend will be tested next Monday, and it will be launched at the end of August......"
Although Liu Sichen doesn't know why Chen Jiayi pays attention to such a small game company, it stands to reason that he should know more about NetEase and other news.
Speaking of which, the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty network today is these portals.
These portals, with ultra-high IP streams, once they enter the field of online games, will definitely have a very big impact on the ethereal journey. It can be said that the main competitors of the Tang Dynasty network are precisely these portals. ,
"At the end of August."
Chen Jia half squinted, "That was launched before the ethereal open beta." ”
"Go on."
If you just push the time forward, this point is negligible for Chen Jiayi. With the influence of the current ethereal journey, as long as the public beta is open, it will definitely be able to pull most of the domestic gamers to the Tang Dynasty network. To this end, Tang Dynasty Network has also prepared multiple sets of servers recently, in order to fully meet the surging flow of people who are about to open beta.
"In addition to announcing that the network has entered the internal test ahead of schedule, it has also recently sold their point cards to the whole country."
When he arrived here, Chen Jia began to pay attention to it.
If we talk about the success of Legend, in addition to the legend itself is easy to use, it is also related to the marketing of the network. And this marketing, the sales of point cards, is an important part.
I remember that before my previous life, although online banking was opened, not many people used it. Moreover, where most people go online, they also stay in Internet cafes. For the recharge, it is generally recharged by purchasing a point card. At that time, what was more successful than others was to distribute their point cards to all areas of the country that could be connected to the Internet. Moreover, not only the Internet cafes where the games are concentrated, but also the newsstands.
On the other hand, other games, even the Legend of Jin Yong, which was more popular than the legend at that time, did not do this. So much so that although the Legend of Jin Yong's heroes won the most popular game in 2001, after 2002, the legend was the king, breaking all the records of domestic online games.
It can be said that the credit of the point card has played a very important role.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi thought of the glory of the legend of later generations.
It can almost be said that as long as it is a post-80s generation, most people have played legends.
Even in 2011, there are still a large number of players who often enter the legend in order to be nostalgic for the old years. Especially the post-80s generation who played legends back then, they have become an important force in society, and most people are willing to spend money. Therefore, although the number of online users at that time was no longer the same as back then, it also brought a lot of operating income to the network.
In addition to these, what excites Chen Jiayi the most is. After the legend leaked out of the plug-in, the number of legends dropped several layers in an instant. In a fit of rage, Actoz will no longer be given a fee. For this reason, Actoz would have taken it to court. But Chen Tianqiao bought the Actoz company at this time.
A lawsuit was solved in the process of this acquisition.
It's simple here, but it's quite a story.
Because, as an agent, he acquired a game development company that gave him the agency qualification. It's like a later generation, for example, Nine Cities acquired Blizzard, do you believe it? Naturally, such a thing, most people will not believe it. Because, it's almost impossible to accomplish.
However, it did.
