549 hooked
After bidding farewell to the two people in the Tenglong car wash, it was midnight when Zhao Nuo went home.
Zhou Yan was still sitting on the sofa watching horror movies, and the white light on the screen reflected her already pale face like a ghost.
Zhao Nuo went back to his bedroom, turned on the computer, and checked his email.
The first thing I saw was an email from the guy in the Black Hand, which was concise and to the point, with only three numbers: 250.
Of course, this is not meant to be scolding, but it means that their previous game sales have exceeded 2.5 million units!
Seeing this number, Zhao Nuo finally calmed down.
Although it is directly sold abroad, due to the problem of channels, the profit per copy will be less, but the sales of this game have completely crushed the previous games, and even more than their combined sales!
Because of this, "Hell Capital" has brought them not only an explosive rise of fame, but also huge profits!
EVEN IF THE 30 PERCENT FEE CHARGED BY STEAM IS REMOVED, THE PROFIT PER GAME IS AT LEAST TEN DOLLARS OR MORE.
Even at the minimum of $10, the net profit from selling 2.5 million games is $25 million!
"No wonder domestic stand-alone games are so depressed, and they can make so much ......money by selling them directly in Europe and the United States," Zhao Nuo rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Although it can be concluded from "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" that if it is a conscientious work, the enthusiasm of domestic players is also very high. But......
The purchasing power of the European and American markets is indeed much stronger than that of this side!
With the development cycle and cost of a game of the level of "Hell Capital", if it were only released in China, I am afraid that they would have lost blood and closed their doors directly.
But despite this, Zhao Nuo was still a little dissatisfied.
"It would be nice to have our own platform. In this case, the profit will be higher. He said to himself.
No matter how good the sales are, they are using a third-party platform after all, and a large part of the profit will be deducted. If you have your own sales channels and can ensure that sales do not decrease too much, the revenue of the game will undoubtedly increase further.
Actually, the previous "Hellfire Battle Platform". It's an attempt to build a game sales platform.
Although the number of users of the platform has decreased due to the fact that no new games have been logged in for a long time. However, what Zhao Nuo wanted to build at the beginning was indeed a self-owned platform similar to the "Battle.net client", which integrated game operation and sales!
There will always be a gap between ideals and reality, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the influence of Hellfire on the battle platform is indeed far from it.
ββIn that case, how about using the upcoming large-scale e-sports events of Supernova to increase the influence of the battle platform?
Come to think of this. Zhao Nuo's face suddenly showed a "lewd" smile.
However, he had other things to do before going to City G for a second meeting.
β¦β¦
Three days later, the silver-white "prototype" was finally transformed, and Zhao Nuo also paid the remaining 800,000 yuan.
Counting the deposit, the cost of this terrifying "go-kart" has reached one million. However, Zhao Nuo knew very well that if this thing was made by someone else. I'm afraid it's much more expensive than that.
When it comes to this kind of process, it is no longer considered a transformation. It's a completely homemade race car!
After driving around the backyard of the Tamron car wash, Zhao Nuo finally realized how strong the performance of this car really is.
Since many of the "players" who would be driving the car in the future may not know how to drive, the top speed of the car was limited to 120 kilometers per hour for safety reasons.
Despite this, it has furious acceleration comparable to that of the Lamborghini LP640. and an unrivalled sense of operation.
To control this tyrannical speed machine, you don't need professional driving skills at all, you only need go-kart-level operation to be competent.
And it is comparable to the body of an armored car, which can also allow the driver to obtain an impregnable "absolute defense", and there is no need to worry about the problem of car destruction and death.
Now that the car is ready. The next thing to do is to build a track that will allow it to play to its fullest.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo asked the strong man who was still wearing a military coat next to him: "How much do you think this thing will cost if it is to be mass-produced?" β
In addition to the race track, if you want to create a "racing game" in the real world, it is not enough to have a single race car.
What he needs is a "chariot army" that can compete with multiple players on the same stage!
"It should be cheaper, I don't know, after all, I'm just a car repair......er," Brother Meng said in a rough voice.
"Your business hasn't been doing well lately, has it? There don't seem to be many people traveling by car in this kind of weather. While Zhao Nuo spoke, he still stared intently at the silver racing car in front of him.
"Yes and what? There is always a time like this every year. Brother Meng gave him a blank look.
"In that case, would you like to join us for a while? How about helping me build a few equally strong race cars? Zhao Nuo went straight to the point.
"There's no time." Brother Meng rejected his proposal.
Unlike the rest of Hellfire Entertainment, this brawny man has no interest in games at all, and his hobbies are nothing more than repairing cars and modifying all sorts of things. Because of this, Zhao Nuo had long expected that the other party would refuse. But......
"You're probably interested in 'black technology', right? We have a secret development team here, working on a machine that you would never think of, don't you want to check it out? Zhao Nuo threw a "bombshell" again.
As he predicted, as soon as this remark came out, the originally resolute big man also hesitated a little, and then asked slowly:
"What's that? I don't have the time to fix my little kid's console. β
Zhao Nuo pretended to be mysterious and sold a pass: "It's okay to let you see it, but we need your skills now." β
ββAlthough the guys in the holographic game development team are highly skilled, they are all enthusiastic young people, and compared with the "old fritters" like Brother Meng, their lack of experience is exposed.
If this Lanxiang high-quality student can be temporarily brought under his command, their temporary stagnant new equipment development work may be able to make a breakthrough!
After Zhao Nuo made his request, Brother Meng fell into deep thought again, and after about a minute, he finally nodded:
"I'll have to see what you're up to first, if that thing is really as good as you say...... It's not impossible for me to join. β
"Well, I promise you'll be an eye-opener." Thinking of his appearance when he first saw "Tetris", Zhao Nuo smiled confidently.

There's no way to update it lately...... After all, there are still a bunch of pits left at the end of the day, and I'm really saddened...... (To be continued......)
