Lilith thought for a moment, "Well, what you said makes sense. How much do these little gifts cost in the cheapest way? ”

Gu Fan roughly estimated: "Now the domestic small commodity customization industry is very developed, and the postage is also the price of cabbage."

"If it is a batch of customized medals for customs clearance, then each medal will be at most three or five yuan, and if you add postage, everyone should be able to get it within ten yuan."

Almost eighty percent of players who have purchased this game have been able to clear the level. If 30% of these players fill in the address, then for every 10,000 copies of the game sold, about 2,400 gifts will need to be given.

It's a simple math problem, and it's not that hard to calculate.

Lilith waved her hand happily, "Okay, then let's do this." ”

However, as soon as she was about to disappear on the spot, she was stopped by Gu Fan.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Li, there is another key question.

"Where does this money come from?"

Lilith seemed to have heard something fantastical, she frowned and looked at Gu Fan: "What is the money, where does it come from?" Doesn't this game make a lot of money! ”

The price of "The Legend of Destiny Wolong" is 98 yuan, deducting factors such as platform sharing and tax deductions, a game can earn at least about 60 yuan.

Taking out ten dollars as a small gift is a normal and reasonable thing for Lilith to do.

But Gu Fan obviously didn't think so.

He spread his hands: "The company has no spare money!" ”

Lilith froze: "What about the money?" ”

Gu Fan said seriously: "Isn't it written very clearly on the contract?" 70% is spent on the development and promotion of the next game. How can the money for customized small gifts for players not be counted as R&D and publicity funds, right?

"What's more, the size of the game "Fire Stealer" is far larger than the game we developed before, and it is the time when the money is used, how can it be done without leaving enough budget in the company's account?"

Lilith's face was full of incredulity: "The 70% doesn't move, but what about the remaining 30%?" ”

Gu Fan spread his hands again: "5% of it is my personal bonus, this money is obviously not enough." Besides, are you embarrassed to let me pay out of pocket for this kind of thing? ”

Lilith darkened: "What about the remaining 25%?" ”

Gu Fan said confidently: "Aren't those all the company's operating expenses?" It's all gone! ”

Lilith was shocked: "All used up?!" Our company needs so much money to stay afloat right now? Don't think I don't know, just that little broken café you rented, a month's rent is not much at all! ”

Gu Fan explained: "Yes, the rent of the venue is really not much, but I still have to pay salaries and bonuses to the employees."

"Alas, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, I don't give bonuses to these employees, in case they are poached by other companies and affect the development progress of the next game, isn't it troublesome?

"At the end of the day, it will affect your plans.

"Besides, the provision of benefits to players is not in line with any of the three main expenses in the contract. As the president of Reverse Heaven Games, I have the right to refuse.

"This money shouldn't have come out of the company account of Paradise Games!"

Lilith was speechless: "Then I'll go out of the head office!" Look at the way you slam the door! ”

Gu Fan was happy in his heart, very good, what he was waiting for was your words!

Looks like I guessed right!

Gu Fan had noticed before that there was one item in the contract signed between Lilith and him, if the game lost money, then Lilith would be responsible for making up for the necessary development funds for the game.

This is enough to show that Lilith's "Negative Emotions Collection Office" is by no means only a company in the world, there must be other industries!

It makes sense to think about it, can the demons of hell still lack money?

Since you're not short of money, we'll have to talk about it.

It's not a lie, oh no, get more money, I'm too sorry for the risk I took!

"Okay, since the problem of funding is solved by you personally, Mr. Li, then there is no problem.

"But I have a small suggestion, which is that these gifts can actually be a little higher.

"There's nothing wrong with doing it at the standard of 20 yuan per serving."

Lilith frowned, and looked at Gu Fan suspiciously: "Why?" ”

Obviously, when it was possible to pay out of his own pocket just now, Gu Fan was resigned, and a gift was only ten yuan; But now when he heard Lilith pay for it, Gu Fan directly doubled it to 20.

This change in attitude is really irritating.

Gu Fan explained: "I gave a relatively low standard at the beginning, but it was only because of insufficient funds, so I was forced to compromise and failed to reach the best publicity plan!"

"Now that we have sufficient funding, it is only natural that our strategy needs to be adjusted accordingly.

"I suggest that the reward standard for all players be 20 yuan per copy, and customize a more beautiful commemorative medal and a certificate.

"Especially this Chen Tingquan, we can even customize a small trophy of pure gold for him, the shape is just a base and Zhuge Liang's fan!

"Hey, Mr. Li, don't be in a hurry to hit me first, I'm not repaying my grievances with virtue, I'm definitely putting a long line to catch a big fish!"

Seeing Lilith, who was looking for something everywhere, stopped, Gu Fan hurriedly continued to explain: "Let's give players a taste of sweetness, let them play "Fire Stealer" again!"

"The negative emotions owed by players in "The Legend of Destiny and Wolong" must be doubled back here in "Fire Stealer"!"

Lilith frowned and thought for a long time.

Finally, she tilted her head and said, "It seems to be the same truth!" Casting a long line to catch big fish is indeed the case!

"Okay, then do as you say! Our hellish family has a big business, and we are not short of this little money. ”

Gu Fan hurriedly agreed: "That's right! It's also all about better collecting negative emotions. Even when it comes to Lucifer, this reason is very valid and reasonable!

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave, there's another problem.

"The Fire Stealer...... Do you want to do something like that? Is it a special interface after clearing the customs? ”

Lilith thought for a moment, "Yes!" ”

Although this feature of "The Legend of the Destiny of Wolong" is not particularly successful, it is just an accident because of a bug.

The feature itself should be fine.

Setting an extremely difficult goal in the game to clear the game, on the one hand, you can screen out the dangerous elements among the players and collect their information to facilitate the "key care" in the future, and on the other hand, you can attract more players to the pit by giving out small gifts and promote the next game.

This in itself should be a good and harmless thing!

It also makes sense to carry over to "The Fire Stealer".

But soon, Lilith realized the problem: "But this time you must set a higher goal!" There can be no more problems like "The Legend of Destiny Wolong"! ”

Originally, Lilith wanted to screen out the dangerous elements among the players, and it was best to only have about a few dozen people to be worthy of attention.

As a result, there are at least tens of thousands of players who have cleared the customs now, which is still a fart!

"Fire Stealer" must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and this "customs clearance and settlement interface" must play a real screening role.

Gu Fan proposed: "Why don't we make an achievement system of 'Map Exploration'?" ”

"Oh?" Lilith's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it." ”

Gu Fan explained: "Quite simply, every time a player walks through a place, they are considered to be 'explored'.

"Only when the map exploration reaches 100% will it be considered as a clearance.

"In this way, even if there are no players who have cleared the level, we can sort them out from highest to lowest according to the exploration value they have achieved, and filter out those players who are more threatening."

Lilith couldn't help but exclaim: "Wonderful! I should have thought of a resiliency mechanism a long time ago! ”

Why do so many people clear "The Legend of Destiny of Wolong"? On the one hand, it is because there is a bug in the game, but on the other hand, it is because the standards are not flexible enough!

There are only two options, "clearance" and "no clearance", and once there is a bug, it will be a little difficult to recover.

The goal of 100% map exploration is quite resilient.

This time, we should be able to screen out enough threatening players to focus on!

Lilith was so happy that after taking a bag of potato chips, she happily went to revise the design.
