Chapter 204: "Counter-Strike" is a big hit
So far, Celadon Technology has not had any employees leave due to premium salaries. This article was first published by xstxt Working at Celadon Technology, I not only get a relatively high salary, but also a sense of accomplishment that can turn my ideals into reality.
Take Willow Flowers, for example. She was indifferent to the invitation of a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, not because the salary in Celadon Technology had just risen to 8,000 yuan, but because when she started a veteran's home, the eyes of those old soldiers who were originally lonely and helpless could give her a sense of accomplishment that money could not buy.
Liu Nihua feels very good in Celadon Technology, compared with the previous worthless life, it is a world of difference. And there is a way back, no matter what, he can provide a good life for his daughter. In this case, she is not so hopeful.
She used to think that "she can't let her child lose at the starting line", but now, she feels that she is the starting line for her daughter. If she can give her daughter a higher starting point, it is of course more effective than forcing her daughter to study and practice the piano.
So she doesn't care much about her daughter's final grades, and it's okay to score more than 80 or 90 points. Even if her daughter can't find a way out in the future, it's a big deal that she will use the money to support her daughter for the rest of her life.
She can provide a secure life for her daughter, so she hopes that her daughter will be happy. On the contrary, Wang Bufu was worried about the final exam results of porcelain.
Wang Bucheng ate three wontons that were half bitten by porcelain, then stopped doing it, glared and said: "You have to take the exam today, you have to use your brain, can you do it if you don't eat enough?" What should I do if I am hungry and play abnormally? Sister Liu is going to scold you again! ”
Liu Nihua was depressed all of a sudden, thinking that she was still angry at the beginning of the month because of her daughter's grades. There really isn't much to refute.
Xia Ci stretched out his chopsticks, looked at Wang Buyi very firmly, and shook his head again and again: "I can't eat it!" ”
In fact, she can eat it, but she is afraid that her face will not look good after it becomes round.
"You were hungry during the exam, don't blame me." The king lived up to what he said, but he ate it anyway. Seeing that Porcelain Porcelain still wanted to continue to play this kind of careful thinking, he hurriedly said: "There are still four left, and they must all be eaten!" ”
"Alright." Xia Ci didn't go too far, he was afraid that his face was fat, and playing with the guardian spirit was also part of it. She buried her head in the soup. Drink well.
Wang didn't want to see porcelain porcelain and was disappointed. Remind her: "Do your best in the exam and give full play to your level." Don't be careless, check the questions after answering...... Don't take yesterday's English test to heart. ”
Liu Nihua looked at Wang Buyi in disbelief, what happened to him? Didn't you say that you don't care about the results of porcelain? Why don't you stop chattering?
"Got it." Xia Ci listened to Wang Fu and said the main points of the exam over and over again. I laughed when I heard it. The Guardians are even worried about these things. In his heart, he must be very important.
Here comes the car. Wang Buyi was still saying, "Let's go, I'll send you to school." You have to remember everything you just said. But don't be pressured, no matter what you look like. ”
Xia Ci listened with a smile, what the guardian spirit said was not nutritious at all, but she was happy.
……
Wang went to the company. Let's start with the sales data.
The other three data centers were powered on at the same time in the early hours of this morning, officially providing hardware support for Counter-Strike players across the country. Yesterday, he thought of borrowing the power of the owner of the Internet café to promote it and see how it worked.
Tong Wen is out of town, and the game box team is now temporarily led by the deputy director. The deputy director came to the company in the morning, and was also very surprised by the data, looking at Wang Bufu and reporting: "By the time I came at seven o'clock, the games and accounts bound to "Counter-Strike" had exceeded 12 million. Yesterday there were only eight million. It increased by four million in one night, which is amazing. ”
This is certainly the power of Internet café owners in physical promotion. Wang Bu Bu saw the gratifying sales volume, not only was it quite unexpected.
I have long heard that there are many people who succeed not because they have created anything, but because they have used the strength of others to help them do things. This will be the king's final sight.
If he uses a personal version of the security box to advertise on the pop-up window, he will definitely overdraw the value of the advertising space, and also lose the publicity space of celadon search. Wang was inspired by He Qingyan and thought of using the owner of an Internet café to help him publicize, but not only did he not use his own resources, but instead turned hundreds of thousands of people across the country into his own promoters.
Wang Bufu had a picture in his mind, a big and three thick Internet café owner, next to each other asked the Internet people if they wanted to buy game currency to play genuine. If the player doesn't agree, they widen their eyes and murderously persuade the educator......
It's really possible. For 2,000 years, going to an Internet café is a rigid demand, and no matter how bad the experience is, you will go there. Those who go online can even tolerate the smell of smoke and smelly feet, let alone being forced to buy and sell all of a sudden.
Wang Bubu decided not to think about these things. Using profits to tie the Internet café owner to the genuine game is also a good means in today's Internet café era. It is much more cost-effective than inviting industry and commerce to catch and sell pirated copies from city to city.
Seeing the growth rate of "Counter-Strike" sales, Wang decided not to consider changing the share ratio anymore. With the profits that can be brought by the sale of in-game currency, every Internet café operator will be transformed into a staunch promoter of genuine games.
They sell more efficiently than players who spontaneously recommend to their friends. Many die-hard gamers may promote the game they find fun to their friends and call friends. But the owners of Internet cafes are dealing with a much larger crowd. The flow of people directly faced in a day may easily exceed 1,000. That's what he means he can pitch a new game to a thousand people a day.
There are countless Internet café owners who take the trouble to introduce new games to countless players, and this advertising effect is still worth it? Moreover, when people convey information, they are the most efficient, which is much more effective than cold advertising.
It's a group of people again. Wang did not live up to himself, and in the future, several online games will rely on the amazing performance of Internet café owners. Now Wang Buyi has tied them to his own system in advance, and everyone is collecting firewood and the flame is high, hoping that with their help, the game box can go more smoothly.
As for profits, when the Internet develops and online banking and online trading platforms rise, when players recharge game currency on these platforms, the profit margin will come up.
In fact, players buy game currency, not only because of the owner of the Internet café, but also because they also have the willingness to buy genuine support Celadon Technology. The sound of Wang Bubo's idea is still in my ears. He wanted to amplify the fun of the game itself through online battles in order to generate sales. To be honest, if you think about it deeply, it's quite sad.
Whether it's "My Anti-Japanese" or "Counter-Strike", it's not the content of the game itself. "My Anti-Japanese" sells multiplayer, and "Counter-Strike" sells online matchmaking.
For this reason, Wang did not live up to the free version and allowed it to circulate everywhere. It even helped pirates reduce the cracking link. It means that he has long decided that players will rarely pay for genuine games. If you only sell single-player content, you won't be able to get the rewards you deserve from your players.
Isn't that a sad thing? Even the ambitious Wang Buying doesn't think players will pay for the content of the game itself.
Think of that hundred-and-forty-fold gap. Players know that Wang is using the best means now. However, "My Anti-Japanese" and "Counter-Strike" are both suitable for multiplayer mode, and what should I do if those games are not suitable? For example, the "Fairy Sword" series and the "Xuanyuan Sword" series......
That's for the future, let's see how much improvement in gameplay Wang Buyi can cause by spending 1.5 billion yuan on online matching! Many players have experienced the LAN version of Counter-Strike and are curious about online matchmaking.
Is it really wise for the king to put the cards on this?
Players in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Luwan and Anhui have no doubt about this. They've already experienced the wonders of multiplayer matchmaking.
Players in other parts of the country are also beginning to understand the charm of game boxes in a low-latency network environment.
Ten people who are evenly matched, five or five fight. Confrontation and cooperation collided with the greatest sparks because of the similar levels. It's completely different from when using a local area network, being abused by a master or abusing others.
When the players are convinced that their own strength may fluctuate slightly from the other party, but at the same time, the courage that radiates from the bottom of their hearts is something that even they themselves dare not believe. Many players who like to snipe and squat in the pit when they are on the LAN also dare to rush forward with the Desert Eagle and cooperate with their teammates.
When playing LAN, the person with the bomb has to shout at the top of his voice, and he doesn't necessarily call for the cooperation of his teammates. And now, the person with the bomb can type "A" or "B" and immediately five terrorists will be able to scream and charge towards point A or point B.
Why is this the case? Players are puzzled. When they were matched online, they felt a strong sense of responsibility and courage. Teammates who don't know each other seem to be more reliable than players who can see each other in an Internet café.
Because when facing opponents of similar strength, people will feel that victory and defeat are half and half. At this time, no matter how pessimistic people are, they will also want to cheer themselves up. Try to use subjective power to artificially increase the odds of winning.
Every player has a positive psychology when they are still loading the game, willing to charge, willing to cooperate with teammates, willing to throw away their guns to help their teammates pick up expensive snipes...... After actively working hard, even if you fail, the frustration in your heart will be much lower.
And all of this is because online matchmaking rebalances the strength of all players, so that both experts and newcomers can get the same fun.
If you list what level of fun you can get from "Counter-Strike", the top is of course the feeling of being invincible when the master is abusing rookies, when he grabs several heads with one shot.
And at the bottom of the list must be weak hands who are constantly abused by masters and can't see any hope of victory.
The middle level is that there is a possibility of victory or defeat after going all out.
Add to what level of people and what kind of fun they can get, and it becomes a pyramid. The top is the master of the feather phoenix, and the bottom is a very large number of newcomers. (To be continued......)
