"As everyone wants, this year's Game of the Year is for Counter-Strike."

When the E3 jury pronounced "Counter-Strike", countless gamers let out an earth-shattering shout.

Counter-Strike, defeated the hugely popular Final Fantasy series, defeated the Metal Gear Solid series, defeated Resident Evil, defeated all the games in the world of the year, and ascended to the top honors.

And far away on the other side of the ocean, in China, many famous homes in the middle of the night are brightly lit.

They're not playing games, they're not playing cards, they're not idle. Because they are all staying up late looking forward to the news of the E3 exhibition. Finally, when the online media sent out the information that Counter-Strike won the world's best game award for the first time, countless Chinese people were completely excited. No matter whether they are fans of the game or not, they are all sincerely proud of the Tang Dynasty network.

When the game rises to national honor, he transcends the boundaries of the game.

That night, you can hear bursts of firecrackers, and it was the fanatical fans who were celebrating the Tang Dynasty network.

"We in China also have a game with world surnames."

This is the voice of Chinese players.

Thinking about the last press conference held by the Tang Dynasty Network, what Mr. Liu said, now, wouldn't it just come true.

When countless foreigners gave a thumbs up to those professional players and shouted, "China, good", this glory can be owned by a few people. The professional players signed by the Tang Dynasty network have done what countless Chinese people have not done. They brought their professional games to the world, made the whole world crazy, and won the respect of the whole world.

At this time, do you still have any prejudice against professional players?

"Tang Dynasty Network really did it."

It doesn't matter if it's a chess player or a professional player, they're all the same, these are the words Liu Sichen said.

Moreover, other professional gamers do better than anyone else, better than any other. Especially on the backs of those team members, the word China is written. On that territory where all foreigners lived, they shouted loudly, "We are Chinese", which aroused the popularity of countless Chinese people.

Over the course of the day, we remembered a game whose name was Counter-Strike.

Over the course of the day, we remembered a team whose name was Samsara.

In the course of this day, we remembered that all this is an honor that belongs to China.

At this time, the views of many Chinese people slowly began to change.

The four words of professional gamers have also changed in their hearts.

It's a legitimate profession, and it's also a profession of great honor. Many parents have begun to reflect on whether they should change their thinking about the concept of games. Because, they also saw a person's wisdom and a person's decisiveness from this game of Counter-Strike. It seems that this game is not useless.

No matter what the Chinese people think, the E3 exhibitor team represented by Liu Sichen finally returned to the Tang Dynasty network a week later with a contract signed from all over the world.

These contracts not only sold all the sales rights in Europe and the United States, but also sold the copyrights of Asian countries at the same time. The copyright income alone is also tens of millions of dollars, not to mention, there is also a share after the sale. It can be said that as soon as Counter-Strike came out, it not only made a name for itself as a domestic game in China, but also solved the problem of Chen Jiayi's lack of funds.

It seems that Ben's side has a very good face, and no company talks about cooperation. But it doesn't matter, Liu Sichen also believes that when Counter-Strike becomes popular in the world, Yueben, a big game country, will definitely not be able to settle down. There will always be companies that come to the Tang Dynasty network to discuss cooperation with them. Moreover, Liu Sichen also made a plan, even if he did not reach any cooperation with the Yueben side, they would push the counter-terrorism elite to the entire Yueben on the Internet.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's meeting is on the issue of domestic counter-terrorism sales."

After Liu Sichen returned, Tang Dynasty Network organized a domestic sales meeting.

After a brief review, the meeting began to get to the point, "Now the main discussion is about product pricing, what are your opinions?" ”

In fact, Gu Xiaoyu and others discussed this pricing issue several times, but they did not reach a result. The planning of Gu Xiaoyu and Liu Sichen is that they want to take the boutique route, so the price of this Counter-Strike should also be boutique. In terms of pricing, the price given by the two tends to be more than 200 yuan.

In fact, the sales price in Europe and the United States is much higher than that in China, and the two have always adhered to this view.

However, when this price was quoted, it was soon opposed by Zhou Xiaoqiang and other R&D members.

Zhou Xiaoqiang and other R&D members believe that although Counter-Strike is indeed a classic, Chinese piracy is really a pain in the eye, and if the price is too high, it is very likely that those players who are ready to buy genuine copies will be inclined to piracy. What they mean is that they prefer to lower the price a little bit. Of course, this lower price is also more than 100 yuan.

When several bigwigs didn't reach an opinion, they had to throw this problem to Chen Jiayi.

Originally, Chen Jiayi didn't want to hold this meeting, but after thinking about it, he still listened to their thoughts more. Moreover, I also have to pass on some of my game ideas to them.

"I already know the opinions of several people."

After listening to the opinions of several people, Chen Jia nodded and said, "Whether you want to go for the boutique price or something else, the Counter-Strike we developed is all for players." Whether it is classic or not, it is not what we say, nor is it what the price says. Have you made any statistics on how much Counter-Strike sales would have if you had sold at your price? ”

Just as they were about to speak, Chen Jiayi grabbed the words, "I don't need this number, because I know that your sales should be about the same." ”

When several people heard Chen Jiayi's rhetorical question, they were secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiayi knows so much about this market.

In fact, it is very simple, for the market, the higher the price, that will curb the number of purchases by players. The price is lower, and although the number of purchases has increased a little, the overall sales volume is lower. Overall, the comparison between the two is actually about the same. This is a market law, and Chen Jiayi, who knows the game market well, knows it at a glance.

"In this case, it is better for us to reduce the price more violently."

In the end, Chen Jia decided one by one and set the domestic sales price of Counter-Strike at 49 yuan.

The reason why it is so low is that, in addition to promoting the counter-terrorism elite to the whole of China, Chen Jiayi wants to cultivate the genuine consciousness of the Chinese people. After all, there are many fans who buy pirated copies entirely because the genuine ones are too expensive. Of course, there are some players who do choose piracy. However, as long as the Tang Dynasty's online propaganda is strong. Grasp the hearts of players, I believe that the genuine strategy can also achieve good results in this sale.

Because Chen Jiayi knows that game fans are not much worse than celebrity fans.

They are equally passionate, equally passionate. For the love in their hearts, they can pursue selflessly.

After the meeting, Tang Dynasty Network launched an overwhelming sales promotion. To this end, Tang Dynasty Network also recorded a video. This video talks about the performance of the "reincarnation" professional team when they are in E3. In particular, the scene of foreigners giving thumbs up to Gao Gao, Gao Feiyu, Onion and others is presented to the players one by one.

In any case, the National People's Congress is still patriotic. It's just that he was born in a peaceful era, and he often hates to serve the country without a way. And the sense of national honor of the reincarnation team, as long as they look at it, they are all enthusiastic. On the same day, there were some fanatical fans who formed a semi-professional team.

Because, from the video of the Tang Dynasty Network, there is a sentence, that is, "The first National Counter-Strike Professional League, looking forward to your participation." ”
