The reason why Yang Fan attaches importance to the owner of the Internet café is actually another reason, Yang Fan knows very well that most of the games in the Internet café are actually playing stand-alone games such as interstellar, red alert, and dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are even some people who simply look at the web page, chat QQ, chat rooms, and water forums!

Even if it is a set sail game, it can be said that the promotion of Q Westward Journey is very strong, but the number of people who play Q Westward Journey is less than one-fifth. This is completely different from the situation where more than half of the users in Internet cafes in later generations are playing online games, so there is still great potential for Internet cafes to be tapped.

When the owner of the Internet café sees that he can make an extra amount of money from the legend, then he doesn't recommend the legend when he meets people?

You must know that now the Internet Café Alliance has thousands of Internet cafes to join, if there are a few more Internet cafes playing legends, then the number of online people is not easy to multiple!

Now Q Westward Journey has exceeded 70,000 online users through nearly half a year of operation, which is already 70% of the domestic online game market! That's right, there are very few games now, except for Q Journey to the West, there are very few online people who have more than 10,000 people, like the Stone Age, although the peak period has already exceeded 10,000, but it is still less than 10,000 at ordinary times.

Similarly, because he has been deeply involved in the software of Internet cafes, Yang Fan has more data on the installed capacity of Internet cafes.

From '98 to '02, Internet cafes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. By the end of '99, there were already signs of flowering everywhere. Although the scale of Internet cafes at this time is generally not large, most of them are more than ten or twenty computers, but the existence of at least tens of thousands of Internet cafes makes the total number extremely objective.

According to BAT Software's understanding, there were about 200,000 or 300,000 computers in Internet cafes in '98, and as many as 100,000 Internet cafes sold by BAT Software, and by the end of this year, this number is likely to have exceeded one million.

Of course, this number is not comparable to the tens of millions of installed capacity in 03 and 04......

But the million-level number is only 100,000 online games, if you count personal computers. The number of people playing online games in Internet cafes is less than one-tenth, and more than half of the users of Internet cafes in later generations are playing online games, which is why Yang Fan attaches so much importance to Internet cafes. Because now the biggest potential market is in the Internet café!

Yang Fan estimates that with the continuous growth of the online population, the online game market, which was once warmed up in the Stone Age in 00 and 01, and was detonated by the legend at the end of 01, has now been warmed up in advance. Detonation, the legend may have more than 10,200,000 online people in 00, although the growth of Q Westward Journey has now entered a stable period, but in 00, relying on the natural growth of the online population, it should be no problem to break through 100,000.

In short, the market that was detonated in advance by itself should not have much problem reaching the level of the previous zero year in 00. And the legend exceeded 200,000 online people in 01 and exceeded 700,000 in 02!

So, the Internet café recharge system. and the activities of big concessions, so that Yang Fan has a lot of confidence in the legendary crushing holy war.

Sure enough, with the announcement of the launch of the Internet café recharge system and the announcement of various preferential measures, the number of downloads of the legendary client instantly soared to a new height!

"......"

Looking at the sudden surge in downloads, Zhou Bo was a little dazed! Although the bandwidth of the download server has been increased, the download server is still running at full capacity.

"Plus! Plus! ”

Zhou Bo said fiercely, you can't let the download server crash at this time.

After finishing the matter of downloading the server, Zhu Hua and Zhou Bo came over and said to Yang Fan and Ye Qingwan. "You said that depending on the number of downloads, is it possible that the number of online users will exceed 50,000 on the same day?"

Fifty thousand!

The number Zhou Bo said made Yang Fan's heart move immediately.

After that, Yang Fan thought about it, and the Stone Age was in such a hurry. The launch of the server, which has almost no publicity, broke 10,000 on the same day...... With such a big publicity of the legend, coupled with the strong recommendation of the owner of the Internet café, it seems that there is a real possibility of breaking through 50,000!

You must know that the number of people online in 02 exceeded 700,000 at the same time...... Although it was two years earlier, it seems really possible to reduce the number of people online by more than ten times!

Thinking about it, Yang Fan couldn't help but get excited.

If it breaks 50,000 on the first day. The legend has no possibility of failure at all, thinking of this, Yang Fan said, "According to the recommendation of the current Internet café owner, it is really possible to ......"

To be honest, looking at the soaring number of downloads, Zhu Hua was also a little dumbfounded, and thinking about the 50,000 online people Zhou Bo said, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the ten servers he had prepared were a little insufficient.

Before, he thought it was a bit too much to open six servers at a time!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Zhu Hua had a headache.

It was New Year's Day, but he suddenly found that the server he had said to reserve a margin might not be enough, which made him a little stupid.

You must know that the investment of a server of hundreds of thousands, millions is definitely not a small number, and after preparing a legendary server, there is not much money left in the account of the set sail game. Don't look at the fact that Qihang Games has relied on Q Westward Journey to continue to be popular for more than half a year, and has made a lot of profits, but unfortunately all the profits have been invested in newly purchased servers.

This is the case with online games, where the upfront server investment is very large, and after the upfront investment, as long as the game performance reaches the average level, it will be considered profitable.

Think about the past, when Aion was hot, it could open eighty or ninety servers a day, but why all the servers in the early legends, players were crowded into dogs, and when the card exploded, the servers couldn't open a few. On the contrary, in the middle of the legend, when there are not so many new users, the frequency of the legend server is faster.

This is because SD had no funds in the early days, so it could only rely on the profits earned by the legend to slowly increase the server, and speeding up the service in the later stage was actually to pay off the debt of the server shortage in the early stage of the legend.

Yang Fan estimates that if it weren't for the fact that the former SD couldn't quickly increase the number of servers due to financial problems, so that the number of people in each server exceeded the standard and the card exploded, otherwise the performance of the legend in 01 would have been better!

Fortunately, the current set sail game is not the SD of the past...... With the addition of ten or eight servers, Yang Fan can also take out a loan or withdraw funds from other places.

"Plus!"

Regarding Zhu Hua's worries, Yang Fan said decisively.

Judging from the soaring number of downloads in the past two days, although he has tried his best to overestimate the influence of the Internet café owner and employees, Yang Fan still finds that he has underestimated their influence, but this mistake will only make Yang Fan happier.

This proves that his big concession to the owner of the Internet café will only be better.

At the same time, Ye Qingwan also admired Yang Fan's previous concessions, just looking at the current situation, the legend seems to be really able to be incredibly popular, so, what is the previous concession?

In the end, Yang Fan explained, "You go to contact the server first, and the money in the account will be used as a deposit first, and I will figure out the rest!" ”

Zhu Hua nodded...... (To be continued.) )
