Chapter 165: Seven Million Copies
"Crystal Origin Century?" After reading the name silently several times, Oak slapped the table with a "bang", and the computer monitor on the table couldn't help shaking, and shouted, "Boss, this name you gave is so good!" It's so much in line with what we're talking about! GOOD! VERYGOODοΌ That's the name I say best fits this game when I hear it! β
Li Haoyu listened to it in his heart, and anyone who was praised for a while would feel very comfortable in his heart, "Oak, you guys did a good job, everyone in your Starry Night Studio can receive an extra $10,000 as a bonus this month, and when the Crystal Source Century is officially released, I will give 10% of the sales profit as a bonus for you to complete this game masterpiece!" β
Oak was so happy that his face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he thanked him repeatedly: "Boss, you are really the most generous boss in the world!" β
Li Haoyu chatted with Oak for a while about the game of Jingyuan Century, and immediately Starry Night Studio was about to go to Liu Yong to talk about the release of the game of Jingyuan Century, and just after walking a few steps, a somewhat familiar voice came: "Chairman Li, you are also here." β
Li Haoyu turned his head and saw An Hai, the hardcore gamer he had met on Zhonghai ChinaJoy a few months ago, standing not far behind him in a gray-white suit, looking at him with a look of surprise.
"An Hai, it turned out to be you, are you used to living in the mountain city? Now test the game Crystal Origin here? β
A shy smile appeared on An Hai's face, and he said, "Has ADK been officially named Crystal Source Century?" Chairman, it's a good name to get, and it fully embodies the content of the game. After a pause, he said: "Chairman, as long as I have a game to play, I can get used to it anywhere." I came here a few days ago to start testing the game Crystal Origin, and this game is definitely the best single-player game I've ever played, and it's definitely a big hit! β
Li Haoyu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Anhai, do a good job, there will be more games in the Myth Group waiting for you to test before you can start publishing or testing externally, your task is very heavy." β
An Hai was so excited that his face flushed, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with Li Haoyu's tone and actions of encouraging his juniors when he was younger than him, so he nodded again and again: "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely find out all the bugs in the game before they start releasing Jingyuan Century!" β
Now Li Haoyu is the idol of every young man in China who is determined to make a career in the game industry, he is only twenty-five years old this year, and he already has the mythical group that has the position of a giant in the Chinese game industry, Li Haoyu's experience has become a legend, and there are even people who are studying his road to success. Being able to get Li Haoyu's encouragement is definitely a great honor for An Hai.
When he came to Liu Yong's office, Liu Yong was talking to several young staff in the marketing and marketing department, and when he saw Li Haoyu Li Haoyu coming, he said: "How to sell products in the shortest time is a university question, and it is worth studying well for a lifetime." The game of our mythical group is also a kind of product, and after you go down, think about what I said to you, and draw up a plan to send it as soon as possible. β
The young staff nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but look at Li Haoyu, who was about the same age as them, and their hearts were full of surprise, envy, and admiration.
"Director Liu, your marketing department seems to be full of talents."
Li Haoyu sat on the sofa, and Liu Yong's secretary left the office after making tea.
Liu Yong sat on the sofa with Li Haoyu and said with a smile: "Where and where, the most talents are still the studios under the group." The chairman came to me because EA asked for the global distribution rights of ADK, right? β
Li Haoyu nodded, "What is EA's offer?" β
Liu Yong said: "EA's offer is that for every game sold, 10% of the sales will be commissioned. β
Li Haoyu thought for a while, "Liu Yong, what do you think of EA's offer?" β
"Chairman, I can see that the quotation on EA's side is still a little higher, if it is 10% of the profit or even more, I think it is acceptable, 10% of sales is indeed a little more." Liu Yong replied.
Li Haoyu frowned and said: "Then you will tell them this price, and explain that this is the bottom line and cannot be reduced." If EA doesn't say yes, we'll go to Activision Blizzard for releases, and Activision Blizzard will release no fewer games than EA. β
Liu Yong said: "I understand. β
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Yong's secretary said outside the door: "Chairman, Secretary Bai has something to look for you." β
"Let her in." Bai Ling has served as Li Yayan's secretary for two years, and he has always been very competent, and he has been conscientious as Li Haoyu's secretary recently, so if it wasn't a big deal, Bai Ling would not generally come to Li Haoyu.
The door opened, and Bai Ling held a document bag in his hand and said: "Chairman, just now Activision Blizzard sent a fax saying that it intends to obtain the global distribution rights of the game codenamed ADK by Starry Night Studios, and the quotation is 15% of the total profit, which will be settled once a month. β
Li Haoyu smiled, "Activision Blizzard's offer is just right, Director Liu, you immediately give Activision Blizzard's offer to EA to see, if they can't give a higher offer, we will directly give Activision Blizzard ADK, now officially named Jingyuan Century, this game." By the way, it can't be global, we will publish it ourselves in the Chinese mainland, first explore the experience, and in the future, all the stand-alone games of our company will be published by ourselves! β
Liu Yong perked up and said: "Chairman, don't worry, EA doesn't want to bleed heavily, so I don't want to get the distribution rights of ADK!" β
Bai Ling said at this time: "Chairman, President Li of Shancheng University also called just now and wanted to invite you to give a speech at your alma mater to teach the successful experience of Shancheng University's students. The time is up to you, President Li said, you are welcome to return to your alma mater at any time. β
"The president of Shandong University invited me back to give a lecture?" Li Haoyu was stunned, remembering the scene when he was studying at Shandong University before, and his heart swelled with warmth, but he was able to achieve today's success because of Xiaoyu, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart, and said: "How can I have any experience to pass on to those younger students!" β
Liu Yongle said: "Chairman, you are too modest, now we Chinese people who don't know that you are our Huaxia business elite, without you, how can there be the current mythical group?" And you can also inject a batch of fresh blood into our company by the way when you go to Shandong University to speak, which is a great thing that others can't ask for! β
Li Haoyu thought about it, he really didn't have any successful experience, but there are many of these experiences in those inspirational and successful books on the Internet, and he can adapt a few according to his own situation, and he can definitely bluff those who are not yet out of the ivory tower of the ivory tower.
"Bailing, if I have more time recently, you can give me half a day to go to Shanda once."
Bai Ling nodded, "Okay, chairman." β
Three days later, after negotiation, EA obtained the global distribution rights of the game except for Huaxia at a fee of 12% of the total profits.
β¦β¦
Robinson is a very ordinary young man in the United States, he is different from other Americans in that in addition to the time he works, most of his time is spent on games, especially those stand-alone masterpieces, he buys genuine copies of each one.
On this day, Robinson browsed the world's largest game media GameSpot.com as usual after work, and he always felt a little lost when he saw that game companies such as EA, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard were always making money with the continuous development of sequels to those classic old games, and there were fewer and fewer single-player games in the new generation.
"Hey, what kind of game is this?"
Robinson, who was just about to close the web page, suddenly saw a review of a new single-player game, so he clicked on it, and after reading the GameSpot.com editor's review of this single-player game called Jingyuan Century, he was refreshed.
"This is going to be a game that will change the current landscape of single-player games!" Robinson was so impressed with the game that he thought to see which company produced it, but when he saw the company, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the company's production company: Huaxia Mythology Network Company, published by Electronic Arts.
"When will Huaxia be able to make such a sophisticated stand-alone game?" Robinson had such an idea in mind to check on the Internet, and he was shocked when he didn't know what to do. It turns out that EA has done an overwhelming publicity for this game of the Crystal Source Century in the past few days, and he has been very busy with the company these days and has not used the Internet much, so this is what he knows.
"What, the game is about to be released, and now there is an online pre-sale event. Depend on! I had to play this game, so I'm going to place my order! Robinson quickly went to eBay and ordered a game disc.
There are still many players like Robinson in Europe and the United States, most of whom are tired of the original big game companies' cookie-cutter sequels, and now they have begun to buy them when they see the excellent stand-alone game of Jingyuan Century come out. Even if some people didn't buy it at first, they all bought the game after their friends repeatedly trumpeted how fun it was.
I have to say that the copyright awareness of Europeans and Americans is much stronger than that of Huaxia, and only one week after the official release of the game Jingyuan Century, 7 million copies were indeed sold worldwide. As the number of players who started buying the game grew, so did the number of gamers who bought the game, so on the first day of the second week, 300 copies of the game were sold in one day, and the sales momentum continued to soar!
