Chapter 55: We Need This Game
"The spending power is really strong."
Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lin Shiqin's report on the number of downloads related to each channel and the sales ratio of the module.
Foreign countries have long been accustomed to playing games and paying, Wang Yi is a free game with an ontology Many people feel that they have made a lot of money, and they are also very satisfied with some expansion packs or something.
In these expansion packs, there are also some more novel and comprehensive features added by Lin Shiqin.
And there is another point, many foreign players have a lot of time.
'Minecraft' itself is a sniping for plenty of time!
The first video uploaded by non-Lin Shiqin on the Internet came out on the same day, which is faster than the domestic efficiency.
The gamer is a black guy who makes all kinds of strange noises almost the whole time, making people want to light a sunny rainbow little white horse for him when they look at it.
Subsequently, major game forums and game journals also swarmed like sharks smelling blood.
Started a detailed game review and report.
Wang Yi didn't go to recharge specifically, because for this kind of periodical, they will collect money for games that can influence them, but this kind of game, which is unstoppable at a glance, naturally has to consider its own reputation.
PC Gamer: An epic game that could revolutionize gaming is born! 》
Pocket Gamer: "A very interesting game, completely unexpected! 》
Gamasutra: "Another dark horse for this year's game! 》
The funniest thing is that the praise from abroad here has just appeared.
At the beginning, the first wave of attacks and bad reviews driven by them were just beginning to be moved back to China.
At this time, many domestic self-media began to use the remarks on the Internet to issue some of their own 'rational customers' views.
"I have to admit that 'Minecraft' has been successful at home, but it is still difficult to get international recognition after all."
"It's a pity that domestic games still can't break out of the encirclement."
"When will we have a 3A masterpiece of our own?"
"Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, Master Yi's game in foreign countries has finally fallen on his own speech."
"Humility is a traditional virtue."
"Congratulations to Minecraft for its success at home."
Of course, because the game suddenly became a hit in China, these "rational customers" themselves really dare not go overboard, just purely for the sake of popularity and traffic to attract attention.
Reflecting the contrast between home and abroad is a new direction!
As self-media, they clearly know what the traffic password is, as long as they are not blocked, they dare to test the limit!
Originally, even Fang Chuan was ready to continue to start his long-form output in a beaming manner, but he always thought that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to take a look at the Internet.
I just happened to see the rave reviews, as well as the titles of many game journals, and I immediately came back and silently deleted the words that had been typed a long time ago.
This time, I'm going to spare your life for the time being......
……
Penguin Tower, Game Marketing Department.
"How? Is there an estimate? ”
"How can it be hotter than in China?"
"This ......"
A crowd of people waited around something, and soon someone said
"It's out! It is estimated that the number of downloads has exceeded one million, and the proportion of payment is extremely high, and the profit may exceed that of China. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar.
'Minecraft' is simply a miracle in their eyes, and it took 30 million in three days in China!
In fact, they thought it was very good when they had a sheep kind of marketing before, but this 'Minecraft' turned out to be even more exaggerated!
And unlike before, which relied on marketing and deception, 'Minecraft' relied on the quality of the game itself.
Originally, it was exaggerated enough in China, but now the leeks have been harvested abroad?
It's unbelievable in their eyes!
Penguins have always dreamed of opening up the foreign game market, and the success of LOL has allowed them to see a new direction.
But in addition to relying on money to acquire, Penguin's own game research and development capabilities are really embarrassing.
If you are used to copying homework, let me innovate, so forget it, so their best way is to acquire!
"Talk! Let's talk about it, no matter the cost, we penguins need 'Minecraft'! ”
Such a good game, and the ability to earn American knives, we penguins must have!
"If you give more, you don't have more shares, and they can still have their own control!"
Unlike the beavers, penguins are more sensitive to policy responses, and will not easily occupy the magpie's nest, and generally take shares.
This is their regular operation.
In addition to making money itself, they are also trying to enhance their influence and expand their territory.
Although they also noticed that Wang Yi didn't propose cooperation last time because he wanted to do it himself, they also felt that as long as the money was in place, then everything would be easy to say.
We don't want control, isn't it good for everyone to win?
……
"Penguin wants to buy 33% of the company."
"Forget it, after all, it's my company on the surface, I don't want to play a game with the shareholders, go back."
Wang Yi knows that if it is purely for the development company, accepting Penguin's investment is definitely a win-win deal.
In the future, you can take advantage of the traffic of penguins, and you can immediately get a minimum of 100 million dollars.
But the game company is something that Wang Yi puts on the bright side, and the money he makes in China is the game company himself, and he doesn't have so much demand.
Hehe, hundreds of millions of dollars are more, but I have a large amount of money to transfer American knives out of the country, and a game company is still a bit eye-catching.
It is better for Lin Shiqin to directly operate the overseas game income and flow into the two out-of-the-box investment companies.
So for the investment in penguins, Wang Yi really didn't think about it!
When I didn't hang up when I just graduated, I must have cried and shouted for Daddy Penguin, but now it's not necessary, so it's good......
"But with Penguin's usual style, if you don't join, such a dazzling data may be hostile and suppressed."
Although the game market is huge, Penguin's grabbing the market is no longer just a matter of money, but also has influence.
If they refuse directly, they will no longer care about mathematicians or mathematicians.
When there is no conflict of interest, it will definitely be respected, but with a conflict of interest it is different!
Wang Yi has not won an award yet, and he has no special status, and now he is just an 'honorary professor' of the Academy of Sciences.
If you are a good mathematician who doesn't practice mathematics, comes to the game to compete with us for interests, and is not willing to make friends with me or accept our investment, then naturally you must be ready to accept the resistance!
"It doesn't matter, at least they don't dare to target me openly, some small means go with them."
The mini-game is sold to the penguins, and that is only they can push up.
But with hardcore game quality, then it's not necessary.
Moreover, penguins are commercial companies, although there may be some unpleasantness, and even offensive and suppression, but they will also cooperate when it is time to cooperate.
For example, if you jump and continue to bring income, they will still push, such as looking for them to advertise, as long as you stuff money, they will also receive it, and they will be in business......
……
However, the penguin's offensive came earlier and more violently than expected.
Wang Yi rejected their investment on such favorable terms, which immediately attracted the attention of the penguins, thinking that it was a hostile behavior, and they immediately came up with a second plan.
Almost the next day, various water armies appeared on the Internet, and the purpose of these water armies was surprisingly the same, that is, they felt that a great mathematician like Wang Yi should not waste his talent and should engage in scientific research.
directly and forcibly erected the square boat that had been pretended to be dead to show support.
This time, I saw the news on the Internet in advance, and Fang Chuan, who chose to pretend to be dead, suddenly saw so many supporters pouring out, and he felt very confused.
When did I become so influential?
However, after many years of ups and downs on the Internet, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Oops, someone is going to make me a target!
And it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree at all!
Because I did say those things! If you spit on yourself now, your own fans can't explain, so you directly forcibly roasted him on the fire.
Between two fires......
