Chapter 133: Reactions from all sides
In a conference room in the Tencent Building in Nanfang City, Lingnan Province, Tencent Chairman and CEO Ma Huateng, President Martin Lau and other Tencent executives sat solemnly and listened to Ren Yuxin, President of Tencent Games and Chief Operating Officer of Tencent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the rise of Mythology has put pressure on Tencent Games, although there is only one Lingyun Sword that Mythology can be on the table, but it already has four game studios under its umbrella, and the strength of each studio cannot be underestimated. If it's just other studios, it's better to say that Starry Night Studio focuses on single-player games, and the studio dug up in Japan focuses on video games and console games. Although Nishiyamaju has obtained the advanced engine of Mythology, it is not possible to develop a game in a day or two. The only thing that stresses me out is the mythical studio that hasn't been seen all along. ”
Ren Yuxin's face was very solemn when he said this, he organized the language in his mind, and continued: "No one in this mysterious mythology studio knows where it is, how many people there are, how strong it is, everything in the mythology studio is full of fog, it is estimated that except for Li Haoyu, the chairman of the mythology company, no one can really know the inside story of the studio." But one thing is for sure, the strength of Mythology Studio is definitely the strongest in China and even in the world, there is no one, and the range of games produced by this studio is extremely wide. From mobile games to web games to today's large-scale online games, every game is the best of the best, and once it comes out, it is already a finished product, and there are few bugs. ”
Ma Huateng frowned and said, "Don't we even know a little bit about the inside story of that mythical studio?" ”
Ren Yuxin smiled bitterly: "That's true, not only us, but even within the Mythical Company, no one will know about it." ”
Chen Yizhou said suspiciously: "Mr. Ren, what kind of mythical studio in this mythical company should not be as powerful as you say, right?" If there is such a thing, where will our Tencent games live so nourishingly. Chen Yizhou, Tencent's chief administrative officer, is responsible for the company's administration, legal, policy development, human resources, and charity fund matters, and does not pay much attention to the gaming side. In his heart, Tencent, which has QQ and WeChat in hand, should be invincible in any aspect of the Internet, and even if there are opponents, they are only those old opponents, and Tencent will not pose a threat to Tencent at all for the mythical company that has just been established for a little more than a year.
Ren Yuxin shook his head and said, "No, I didn't look up to the mythology studio, but I felt that I underestimated this mysterious studio." Besides, the lion fights the rabbit, and we have to use all our strength, not to mention that we are facing a game company with such a good development momentum. ”
Ma Huateng said at this time: "Mr. Ren is right, we can't be careless about any opponent, Mr. Ren, you go on." Although Ma Huateng many netizens jokingly called him "twist vine", he has considerable prestige in Tencent, and Chen Yizhou immediately kept silent when he heard it.
Ren Yuxin said: "The development momentum of Mythical Company is too rapid, if it is not curbed, it is not a myth to become the leader of the Chinese game industry in a few years!" ”
Tencent President Martin Lau asked at this time: "So how do you want us to accompany you in your game department to curb the mythical company?" He also has a considerable say in Tencent, not only as the president or executive director, but also as the chairman of Tencent E-commerce Holdings, and Ma Huateng has to listen to his advice many times.
Ren Yuxin thought for a while and said: "Mythical Company is not currently listed, and it will not work to attack or even acquire it through the stock market, and Mythical Company is not short of money, and it should not be listed in a short period of time." I think we can expand the market share of MOBAs, side-scrolling, casual competition, and first-person shooters when Myth still has only one dominant game, and it will be very difficult for Myth to get involved in these games again. ”
Ma Huateng said: "You mean to give up the two games of Sword Spirit and Tianya Mingyue Knife?" The game of Ancient Century OL that we came back is estimated to be difficult to please under the game of Lingyun Sword of the Mythical Company? ”
Ren Yuxin nodded and said: "It's not to give up, it's just to reduce investment, at least in a short period of time, these games can still bring us a certain amount of income." ”
Chen Yizhou said at this time: "Mr. Ren, why don't we use our QT software to reduce the support for the game Lingyun Sword to suppress them?" ”
Ren Yuxin shook his head, "Mr. Chen, you may not know that Li Haoyu, the chairman of Mythical Company, is still the largest shareholder of our QT voice's rival Crooked Voice, and they have long begun to recommend the use of Crooked Voice in the game Lingyun Sword, and using Crooked has certain privileges compared to using other voice software......"
Chen Yizhou was dumbfounded.
Ma Huateng concluded: "Mr. Ren, this matter is for you to deal with, Mythical Company is really too much of a threat to our game department......
Yanjing, the headquarters of Perfect Time and Space.
Chi Yufeng, chairman of Perfect Space, Zhu Qi, president of Perfect Space, and others are gathering together to discuss the pressure brought by the game Lingyun Sword.
"Chi Dong, is our Condor ZERO going to delay the time of the open beta? At present, the Lingyun Sword of the Mythical Company is in the limelight, and even many players who have obtained the activation code for the Condor have defected to the Lingyun Sword, I am afraid that the recent public beta will cause a series of serious consequences! Zhu Qi said with a solemn face.
Condor ZERO this game is the latest main game of perfect time and space,July 23, 2012 officially announced,January 7, 2014 for the first time,After more than a year of testing,It seems that there will be no limit to the test soon,But at this time the Lingyun Sword of the mythical company was born,Most of the players who love martial arts games are competing over there,Condor ZERO at this time is a pity that it has become a shame to abandon the chicken ribs, Let the perfect plane, which has invested a lot of money and energy, start to rush up.
Perfect time and space has begun to show a decline in recent years, and in the 13 years of infamy, its various new games began to lose money, fortunately, there are several old games such as Perfect International and Zhu Xian, otherwise the entire perfect time and space will lose money.
Condor ZERO is the painstaking work of Perfect Time and Space in the past two years, and in May 13, a large number of art settings and a CG promotional film were also abandoned, just to create a high-quality game. Now in the face of Lingyun Sword, which is too strong an opponent, the high-level of Perfect Time and Space are also starting to get anxious, they don't want to have a few years of hard work come to naught.
Chi Yufeng smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't expect that his old friend Zhu Wanting's son-in-law would be so powerful, and it had only been more than a year since he forced the perfect time and space he worked so hard to create into a corner. He shook his head and said, "Since the game of Lingyun Sword is in the limelight now, let's postpone the time of the open beta, isn't the idiom all about 'avoiding its sharpness and hitting its laziness'!" ”
The high-level leaders of Perfect Time and Space unanimously reached a consensus that the Sword of Lingyun is currently in the limelight for a while, and the open beta at this time is tantamount to looking for death, so it is inevitable to postpone the public beta time, and after some discussion, they decided to postpone the original public beta time by three months.
Other game companies, such as NetEase, Shanda, Sohu Changyou, Giant Network, NetDragon, Game Snail and other first-line game companies have held meetings to deal with the pressure of Lingyun's sword, they have postponed the games that their companies are about to test, and the games on the agenda will also be restarted, using the Aurora game engine of Mythology to make new games.
From the end of March to April 2015, there were dozens of various games in Huaxia that began to test or develop new expansions every month, but in the past month or so, in addition to mobile games and web games, some new products have been launched, and in such a long time, none of the games have begun to test or open new expansions.
In this more than a month, only the game of Lingyun Sword has been singing a one-man show in the terminal game market, and no opponent dares to compete with it on stage, it seems to be the lone in Jin Yong's novel, sweeping the Chinese terminal game market, and no one can defeat it.
During this time, the number of online users of Lingyun Sword continued to increase, setting a new record for the number of online users in the terminal game. From 2.3 million to 3 million, and then to 3.6 million, the results of Lingyun Sword made all gamers look sideways, and also made the eyes of all game companies jealous red.
At the end of the one-month public beta period, Lingyun Sword began to officially charge for operation, and the number of online users decreased slightly compared to the peak, but it was still able to maintain the number of online users of about three million. Based on each player playing for four hours a day, 0.6 yuan per hour is 2.4 yuan, and three million people multiplied by 2.4, the gross profit per day is as high as more than 7 million. Coupled with the profits brought by monthly users, the game Lingyun Sword has a net profit of nearly five million yuan per day after deducting taxes and normal consumption, which is enough to make all the game companies in the world go crazy with jealousy.
Who said that point card timing and charging games are slower to make money than prop charging games?
Who said that Huaxia is no longer suitable for the survival of point card timing and charging games?
Who said that players in Huaxia are not interested in point card time-based games?
Who said that prop charging games have become the mainstream of China and even the world, and it has become the trend of the times?
The continued popularity of the game has surprised many people who are not optimistic about its charging model.
It turns out that the point card hourly fee can also be so profitable, as long as your game can attract players!
