Chapter 491: A staggering number

“boss! As of 3:30 a.m., our total sales of Runestone Guardian in three and a half hours were 130,000 copies! ”

There was an excited voice on the other end of the line. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:Strawberry Novel Network,.] △¢ 4 △ ¢ 5 △ ¢ Medium △ ¢ Wen ¥f,

Three hours, 130,000 servings!

This is a mythical figure for a PC game, and it was done with the previous prediction that the number of copies sold on the day would be up to 200,000 copies, and they did not anticipate the enthusiasm of the players at all, and fortunately the game was prepared with plenty of floppy disks.

Otherwise, if you continue to sell at this rate, it may not take dawn for the game to sell out.

Of course, even according to the current inventory, it may be enough to support a day's sales, which is nothing, because the player's purchase enthusiasm was wrongly estimated before, so there is less inventory to prepare, which is also a matter of no way.

However, herein lies the problem.

Jester has previously said that players who purchase three days before the launch will be eligible to participate in the Battle.net test.

But now it's only available for one day, and that's a big deal.

Jester was also very excited when he heard it, this number was indeed beyond his previous expectations, but he immediately thought of the problem of insufficient inventory, so Jester just gave a simple explanation to the phone and hung up immediately.

Then, he immediately dialed the white wolf.

The white wolf is now Jester's agent in China, basically Jester's investment in China is all taken care of by the white wolf to Jester, of course, Jester can't let the other party work for free, and the necessary shares are still given to the other party, although the proportion is not large.

However, you must know that Jester has a lot of industries in China.

And the white wolf is a grateful person. Jester saved the duck bully Chen at the beginning, and the white wolf was even more grateful to him, so he was also loyal.

Jester's most important domestic industry now is actually Hon Hai Precision, a joint venture with Guo someone, the world's largest foundry factory in the future, so the white wolf is also sitting in Shanghai all the year round, and the current time is the domestic daytime, so Jester's phone has just been dialed not long ago.

The white wolf on the other side answered the phone.

The content of the inquiry is simple, it is the production of the game floppy disk of "Rune Guardian", to be honest. The remaining 600,000 sheets is not a large number, if Jester needs it, temporarily deploy the production line, and start working at full speed, that is, one day.

But after all, it's across the Pacific Ocean.

It doesn't take much time to produce, it's more time to ship.

Although Jester is now being taken seriously at home, especially after last year's incident, the vast majority of countries have condemned almost all foreign companies from the country. But it was at this time that Jester stood on the side of the country without hesitation.

Not only do they not withdraw their capital, but they also make additional investments to make their position clear.

To know. Jester is not an unknown little person, he is a person who has appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and he is a guest on Forbes magazine, not to mention that he is also a youth idol in the minds of American teenagers.

There is such a character to support. The country is indeed very grateful.

Of course, Jester was also criticized for doing so, but. The slight criticism still had little impact on him, but some fans said they would never buy Jester's games again, in Jester's opinion.

He gained much more in the future from his political investment last year than he lost now.

You know, the biggest reason why in the later country, Amway was able to save zài in a grand manner, and the country would not pay attention to it, is because Amway was also at this time, firmly standing on the side of the country, and did not withdraw funds from the country.

International support is the most important thing.

It is precisely because of this that when Jester went to Da 6 a few months ago, he was personally received by the central leaders, of course, when this leader was only the minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Jester was also received by him when he returned to China for the first time.

But by the time of the Chinese New Year, his status was no longer what it used to be.

Of course, Jester can also see that this person's complexion is not very good, after all, because of last year's events, even the three ups and downs of the figure had to temporarily retire to Shanghai, and he could only rely on Huang Fuping's pen name to post some editorials to express his opinions.

And Huang Fuping's meaning is from Huang-Pujiang's commentary.

However, it is a pity that the conservative atmosphere in the country began to prevail again at this time, and for this reformist leader, life at this time was not very easy.

But Jester also knew that such days would not last long.

After the start of next year's Southern Tour, the conservative atmosphere will be gone.

Of course, according to Jester's understanding, there are different opinions about the power swap that took place behind this matter, and outsiders can only guess from the few words that have been revealed, and the ownership of rights after the dust has finally settled, of course, the most influential event for his country in this magnificent thirty years.

Jester still wanted to borrow the east wind.

According to Jester's current influence in China, it is not difficult for the country to help temporarily deploy a transport plane to fly directly to the United States.

Therefore, Jester didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the white wolf to contact the aviation department, hoping to get help.

As for money, it's not a problem at all.

After doing this, Jester thought for a moment, and then made a call to Fengyun Distribution, he thought it would be better to have the following restrictions at the time of release.

"You let the place where the game is released make a limit, each person can only buy a maximum of three games at the same time, if they are not satisfied, just sue them, we miscalculated the purchase enthusiasm of the players, we didn't expect that there would be so many players to buy, and the inventory of the realization preparation is insufficient, if you don't make a limit, you may sell it at this rate, and it will not support it for less than three days."

Hearing Jester say this, the person who answered the phone also understood the meaning.

Because of the purchase this time, many people are eligible to buy it because of what Jester said will be purchased within three days, but it is a force majeure if everything is sold out, and in line with the principle of hoping that all players will have the opportunity to buy it, for those who want to buy too many copies, it is natural to make some restrictions.

These people are bound to be upset when they hear about the restrictions.

But more people want this restriction to be implemented, because there are many more things that are not bought than what they are buying.

Moreover, once this restriction is announced, it will be equivalent to Mars Entertainment releasing an obvious signal to the outside world, that is, our inventory is running out, if you still want to participate in the lottery for Battle.net test qualifications, then hurry up and buy it.

Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the morning, as soon as this purchase restriction was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

Of course there are disgruntled people.

There are more voices of support, and of course, there are a lot of people who come to the queue and want to buy a copy as well.

Richard. Garrett also stayed up all night.

He is also keeping an eye on the release of Runestone Guardian.

For him, as long as he can beat a Jester game in terms of sales, he will be able to increase his reputation by several levels, although it is only to beat the opponent in the field of PCRPG games that Jester is not good at, but it will still be beneficial for him to win the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award in the future.

Originally, he was still very confident.

Naturally, he had played "Rune Guardian", and in his capacity, it was not difficult to get a demo version of this game, of course, the demo version was not the official version, probably only about half of the official version, and admittedly, he did think it was a very interesting game.

Jester is really talented when it comes to game making.

Say something you don't want to admit, Richard. Garrett felt that what he had said earlier was a bit excessive, and that it was a good game indeed.

But that's about it.

After all, today's PC gamers, especially RPG gamers, are more conservative and old-fashioned, and he doesn't think that this interesting game can get any recognition among players who like R American RPGs.

However, he definitely didn't expect that Jester had just announced a lottery in advance that he didn't know what the so-called Battle.net test qualifications were.

It has at least tripled the number of players participating.

Although he wasn't Jester, he didn't know how many copies of Runestone Guardian had been sold right now.

But judging from the manpower he arranged, and the news from the scene, by the time he had breakfast, he should be able to sell 200,000 copies.

200,000 sheets!

When I think of this number, Richard. Garrett's heart would flutter involuntarily, from twelve o'clock last night to six o'clock when he had breakfast, it was only a little more than six hours, and he might have sold 200,000 game floppy disks.

So how much do you sell in a day?

How much do you want to sell in a week?

How much do you want to buy in a month?

Richard. Garrett trembled his hands, picked up the steaming coffee he had just brewed, took a sip without paying much attention, and then spit it out violently, the hot coffee burst open in his mouth, and the severe pain made him unable to hold the coffee cup in his hand, and fell directly to the ground.

Fell to pieces. (To be continued......) R1071
