"...... "Ezio" sold 121 million turnover in the first month, and after the recharge interface was unblocked, the turnover in the first week of the next month ushered in an outbreak again."

"In addition, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" had a turnover of 35.87 million last month, a year-on-year decrease of 37.3%, without the support of the internal purchase system, "Jedi" has this sales volume after a year and a half of release, and it can sell about 300,000 copies stably every month."

"The anniversary of "Ark of Tomorrow" last month opened the Water Moon dungeon, Syrtel entered the store, Mountain and Thorn entered the rotation pool, and opened the 198 optional six-star operator package, and the monthly flow ushered in a small explosion, reaching 87.03 million turnover. It is expected that in the summer of two months later, there will be another wave of outbreaks when the first holiday Weilong Chen is launched. ”

"Naraka: Bladepoint broke the 100 million mark in terms of monthly turnover, and also because there is no in-app purchase system, revenue is expected to begin to decline within a quarter, and by this time next year, it may be the same as the turnover of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

"And then ......"

The general manager of the number one player, the new January is coming, and Gou Chehua reported last month's company financial report to Kejin as usual.

Among them, the more stable is the online game project, either because of the competitive gameplay, or because of the continuous update of new content, the flow can be maintained in a stable range.

Single-player games usually only grow explosively within half a year of release, but they fall into decline after half a year.

For example, "Brother Bullet" and "iwanna", which were produced in the early years, are now only hovering in the pitiful five-digit range even if new players continue to enter the pit every month, and there is no need for a special operation department, so that other departments can keep an eye on it.

However, the overall revenue of the number one player is stable and upward.

Last month, it reached a whopping 356 million.

Even if you remove taxes, labor costs and other expenses, nearly 200 million will fall into Kejin's pocket.

Of course, a large part of this is due to the revenue generated by the release of new Ezio titles.

And Ke Jin estimates that after the recharge interface of "Ezio" is unsealed this month, it will be a little more than last month's income.

"Let the finance department transfer 20 million from the company's account as a bonus for the development of "Ezio", and give it to the number one player and the employees of Oasis according to their performance." Ke Jin said.

Hearing this, Gou Chehua's eyes suddenly showed a hint of admiration.

You must know that Ezio's turnover in the first month has just exceeded 100 million, although it is estimated that it can reach more than 200 million in the next month, and it will maintain a certain range in the first half of the year, and the overall estimate is at least to sell more than six or seven billion, which is already a relatively popular 3D masterpiece.

But when 100 million yuan just arrived, 20% of it was directly set aside as a performance bonus.

20% of the game's revenue is used as a bonus, and only the number one player in the entire game industry is willing to ......

The two companies have a total of more than 800 people, and even if they are evenly divided, they can get more than 20,000 bonuses per person.

However, for Ke Jin, money has never been the key he cares about.

It's not easy to make money?

Those games that have already been released, as long as they lose their conscience, they can be stuffed back into the in-app purchase system.

Chicken and Eternal Calamity continue to introduce special effects skins that need to be unboxed to obtain, and a skin can only be opened for a minimum of several thousand yuan, instead of getting a 70 yuan pass per cycle to unlock all the skins of the current period for free.

The flowing water was instantly pulled up.

But doing so will seriously damage the reputation of the number one player, and how is he different from those big factories that cheat money?

"The atmosphere is always magnificent, and the employees will be very happy when they know it." Gou Chehua said, and mentioned the current situation of the "number one intelligence".

Through the high-intensity binding with "Ezio", "Top Intelligence" reached one million registered users in the first month of its launch.

The daily active activity fluctuates around 100,000.

In addition, in the past month, the APP has been continuously updated, launching the video section of the second creation, and optimizing the core section of the most important - forum.

Added a token called 'Player Essence' to the forum.

Send high-quality boutique posts, or high-quality second-generation videos, and you can get the essence of players after being reviewed by the administrator.

These tokens can be redeemed for official merchandise from Player One.

For example, the character standing picture book of "Ark of Tomorrow".

LEGO models of PUBG's guns/vehicles.

The little knight of "Hollow Knight" and the figures of various bosses.

It also includes the limited edition "Ezio" stab customer service that has recently been contacted by the manufacturer.

These things are not sold to the public, only high-quality creations are distributed.

In addition, Kejin also paved the way for the development of "number one intelligence".

If you want to get the best of your game, you can't just create games released by Ready Player One.

The second creation of other game manufacturers, as long as the quality is passable and sought after by players, can also obtain the essence of players.

This move instantly sparked heated discussions among some other veteran gamers.

Among them, there are some big players who only play a few games, and they belong to the hardcore players who specialize in a certain game and love a certain game, and they have also settled in the "number one intelligence"

Kejin did not directly learn from the thunderbolt station according to the number of broadcasts or the data of the triple, etc., to convert the income to the creator.

What he wants to create is a pristine community built purely by gamers.

If you follow the major mainstream video platforms to do a variety of incentive plans.

It is easy to let some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods get involved, and win attention through various tricks, rubbing the edge and selling meat.

Although this can get the rapid growth of users, the quality of the influx of users is actually very cheap, which will make the entire community environment miserable, and make some players who just want to come to find a strategy and watch the second creation feel uncomfortable.

Tempted by the prizes of the exquisite merchandise officially launched by the number one player.

The number one intelligence is also growing with a daily user base of 3 to 50,000 people.

Moreover, this user base will become larger and larger in the future, and after the settled users reach a certain scale, word of mouth will also become a very important way of exposure.

"By the way, Mr. Ke, I have one more thing to tell you."

Ke Jin moved his gaze back from the fish tank, looked at Gou Chehua and smiled lightly: "You say." ”

"The feedback from the operation department said that if your next game is ready to be made into an online game, you need to find a new server manufacturer in advance."

"Why, wasn't it good to cooperate with 'Xunlian' before." Ke Jin was stunned.

All of Player One's current online game servers are in partnership with a company that specializes in servers.

The company was originally small and had a good price.

After starting with the number one player's "Goose and Duck Kill", in the subsequent cooperation, he signed a server supply contract with the top player for three games: "Ark of Tomorrow", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Naraka: Bladepoint".

The price is still the same, and it can be described as affordable.

But a problem that comes with it is that after the volume of telecommunication is done, the cost of operation and maintenance is also more expensive.

Although it has not yet reached the level of making ends meet, it is still possible to make money.

But it's a bit embarrassing for a company to make this money when it's small, and to make this money after the scale expands.

In order to seek better development, the company began to expand more channels and reach cooperative relations with more game manufacturers.

At the moment, the quota that can be allocated in hand is no longer enough.

If the number one player releases a new online game, once it takes off again, the pressure on the server port of the communication connection will be a little unbearable.

So they discussed it with the number one player in advance.

New online games can try to cooperate with other server providers, and when the scale of the news is expanded in the future, they will leave a surplus share for the number one player as soon as possible.

The price is still the same, and it is regarded as a reward for the noble man of the number one player.

Ke Jin can understand.

People are busy running around to make money, and it is impossible to point to the number one player and a company.

And the types of games produced by the number one player are relatively mixed, and the span is very large.

No one knows if your next game will be available on standalone or online.

It's okay to sell excess server resources to other vendors.

"Okay, let Koyanagi handle this matter, and just give me the partner who has been selected in the end." Ke Jin nodded.

“…… So that's the financial report for the previous month, do you have any other instructions? When the situation is reported, Gou Chehua puts away the folder.

"No, you can get busy first." Ke Jin waved his hand.

By the time Gou Chehua was about to walk out of the office.

was shouted by Ke Jin again.

"By the way, get the fish out."

Damn it.

I also expect the sunfish to give itself a wave of negative and positive.

As a result, who knows that after a few games have been made, it is not the car of the game that it flips, but the car of the system.

Net turn over some useless cars, bad stuff!

Claws!

……

A few days flew by.

After learning that the number one player had server needs, several heads of enterprises engaged in the industry went directly to Jianglin to meet and negotiate with Kejin in order to show their sincerity.

It was too troublesome to talk one by one, and Ke Jin simply chose to meet together.

The number one player is no longer the size of the year, and everything is up to him.

So how do you play the game?

Isn't it just that I am desperate to start a company and make games, so that one day I can play games without worry?

Not long after, Liu Xuanxuan, the director of the Ministry of Commerce, knocked on the door and told him that four heads of the server industry were already waiting in the conference room, and one was still on his way because of traffic jams, but he should be there soon.

When Ke Jin heard this, he got up and went to greet him.

After shaking hands with several people in charge one by one.

Everyone then began to talk about their strengths.

"Mr. Ke, our 'Jingfa' company has a long history of Internet server architecture, as early as the beginning of the millennium has stepped into the Internet industry, for some sudden server problems have a very complete set of solutions, our price is ......"

"Hmm......" Ke Jin nodded politely, but didn't say much, but shifted his gaze to the next one.

"Where's your family? There are no advantages. ”

"Mr. Ke, yes, our family uses the latest generation of LinX, the kernel execution efficiency is high, the response speed is fast, and the stability is very high, basically there will be no network fluctuations, and then our company has one of the biggest advantages is ......"

Ke Jin listened to the introduction of the four families in one breath, and suddenly became a little numb.

There is not much difference between everyone.

Some are more stable, some have faster solutions to server problems, and some are cheaper.

But in fact, the difference is not too big.

I knew that the server industry was so involuted, so I didn't ask about it personally.

A wave of time wasted.

"Koyanagi, what do you think?" Ke Jin planned to hand it over to Liu Xuanxuan to arrange, and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Ke, I think the competition company is very good, in fact, the stability and network speed of each company are not bad, but if some of the more difficult problems can be dealt with quickly, it can reduce the inconvenience caused by emergencies to players."

"Well, then ......" Ke Jin nodded, and the words had not yet fallen.

Just heard a knock on the door of the reception room, Wu Shi, the little sister at the front desk, walked in with a middle-aged man with a sweaty face, grabbed Ke Jin's hand and shook it, and said with a slightly apologetic face.

"Mr. Ke, I'm really sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road."

"It's okay, let's talk about your company's strengths." Kejin gets straight to the point.

This middle-aged uncle named Qin Xiong is the general manager of a company called 'Tianci Network'.

Although he was a few minutes late, he was very sincere.

The things that are prepared are also more adequate.

Almost for nearly ten minutes, he talked about the advantages of his own server from the inside to the outside, and he was meticulous.

It can be seen that the intention of this company to cooperate is still very strong.

However, Ke Jin listened drowsily.

Feel your ...... Comprehensive is relatively comprehensive.

But there is not much gap with the previous four......

It's all about things I've already heard.

Well, on the premise that you can't open up too much of a gap.

The few minutes you get stuck in traffic and delayed, even from a first-come, first-served basis, are actually the end of this collaboration.

Qin Xiong also seemed to see the gradually disappearing cooperation intention in Ke Jin's eyes.

He hurriedly wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and said hurriedly.

"Mr. Ke, if you choose to cooperate with our 'God-given', we can give you an additional small server quota for free."

As soon as this remark came out, several other companies looked sideways and were slightly surprised.

The maintenance cost of the server has always been relatively high, and the bandwidth is controlled by several domestic state-owned enterprise giants, and this money cannot be saved.

Especially the number one gamer, who pursues network stability.

Then the server setup needs to set up service sites in big cities such as West Lake, Modu, Yangcheng, Shenchuan, and Beijing.

In these first-tier cities and even beyond the first-tier cities, bandwidth, rent, and equipment expenses are all large budgets.

Server companies usually make a profit to help people maintain operations and repair them in a timely manner.

To put it bluntly, he plays a role more like a cyber electrician.

Have you ever seen an electrician who asked for cooperation and said I'll send you another small power station?

Ke Jin was also surprised when he heard this.

I didn't expect the industry to be so volatile now?

Look at this person's mouth, he is stunned by the few peers next door.

For the number one gamer, the cost of the server isn't a particularly heavy burden.

As for the small server quota sent, I'm afraid it will support an unpopular small partition in a popular online game, and if there are more people, you will have to blow up.

It doesn't feel like it makes much sense.

At this moment, Liu Xuanxuan also lowered her voice and said to Ke Jin.

"Mr. Ke, I think the first advantage is more obvious. And I heard that the fifth company is Tianci Company, because it has only entered this track in recent years, and many times it is not experienced enough. The main server is quite stable, and the second-level server optimization is too poor, and it often blows up every once in a while, and players sometimes can't charge it, even if it is given to us, the quality of this kind of server is too ......" Liu Xuanxuan has not finished speaking.

Suddenly, he saw that Mr. Ke's eyes lit up, and then he waved his hand at her, stopping her from continuing to speak.

Immediately, he got up and strode enthusiastically in front of Qin Xiong and held his hand.

"All things considered, I think the positive outlook of Tianci Network is more in line with our number one player!"

Liu Xuanxuan: "? ”

Qin Xiong: "? ”

Other server vendors: "? ”
