Chapter 198: Internet Café Competition
With the end of the platform team competition.
At the end of December, the hottest CSGO-related topic in the past few days is the college competition mentioned by Lu Yiming in the live broadcast room.
Major Qualifiers.
Even the professional team is very excited.
On the day Jiang Yuanming returned to China, he received a call from the company's front desk.
Then there is no rest.
Straight from the last flight back to Star City.
In front of the company.
Wang Jiming has been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Jiang Yuanming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Jiang! People have been arranged in the meeting room! These are the materials you want from Mr. Jiang! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanming nodded.
After taking the document in his hand, he looked through the contents as he walked.
The two entered the company side by side.
Jiang Yuanming didn't go directly to the conference room.
Instead, he went back to his office.
The person who came this time is the representative of the current ten chain Internet café schools in China.
Including well-known e-sports Internet café brands such as Wanyu, Geira, and Alwin.
The current active users of the platform have exceeded 300,000.
Saturation has already been reached to a certain extent.
Finding a breakthrough point is something Jiang Yuanming has been thinking about recently.
Until a conversation with Lu Yiming before going abroad.
He decided to enable the oldest model of promotion.
That is to rely on offline Internet cafes to start the promotion of activities.
The Internet wave has given birth to an army of Internet cafes, and surfing the Internet is the exclusive memory of the post-8090s.
At that time, the promotion of games was offline.
This includes, but is not limited to, free internet access and instant noodles for drinks.
This promotion is still going on today.
It's just a bonus internet fee or internet café privileges.
From the beginning of the game manufacturers to burn money, now it has become a marketing method for Internet cafes.
For example, the alliance's five kills to send the Internet fee, as well as the popping machine's chicken to send the Internet fee, these national unified Internet café activities, are all activities carried out by the Internet café owner on his own initiative.
There is no need for the game manufacturer to pay any price at all.
But CSGO is different.
The game didn't get popular enough for these bosses to volunteer to promote.
If Jiang Yuanming wants to carry out large-scale promotion, he needs to spend real money.
At this time, he looked at this information.
It's the price of a few chain Internet cafes.
Together, they have more than 3,400 offline Internet cafes across the country.
One of the largest chains is Wanyu.
At present, there are 1,000 stores in the country.
The offer they also opened the highest.
According to the results of the consultation with Lu Yiming.
The event is divided into three benefits.
The first is the most basic is the Internet welfare.
Log in to the Internet café to play CSGO, and the game time of the ladder ranking can be deducted from the Internet fee.
For example, if you play for two hours, and the game time of the ladder ranking is one hour, you can deduct one hour of Internet fees.
The cap is five hours a day free.
Theoretically.
According to the average price of these Internet cafes is 8 yuan an hour, if you play six hours a day without interruption, you may only need a starting price for one hour to surf the Internet.
Then there's the special rewards.
Members of the platform can get the number of lucky draws for ladder ranking.
The number of draws can be carried out in the quartermaster section of the platform.
This quartermaster plate is the same as the one made by Dance E.
It's just that Lu Yiming's military system can't conduct a lottery by means of recharge.
Rewards down to a few cents of the box, up to tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry have a chance to get.
Members can win up to five draws per week through the game.
The plan was to get an Internet café privilege.
Internet café users are eligible for the same five weekly lucky draws as members.
If you are a member.
You can get it ten times.
What is the concept of ten draws?
What Lu Yiming asked Jiang Yuanming to make this military quartermaster stand out is a conscience.
A member only has a dozen dollars a month.
But the number of draws in four weeks a month.
According to Lu Yiming's requirements, the cheapest ones are stickers worth five cents and weapon boxes worth five cents.
This means that monthly members are active as long as they remain active.
The guarantee is to get back ten dollars.
It can be said that all the monthly membership income is invested in this sector.
Lu Yiming has to pay tens of millions of dollars every month.
He can really say that this platform is not profitable.
This is also the reason for the high membership payment rate of the current platform, the main focus is the wool of Lu Yiming, which can basically account for one-third of the platform users.
Anyone has to praise Lu Yiming on the Internet as a charity anchor!
The third benefit is the Internet Café League, which will be launched in February.
The competition is divided into the Master Group and the Legend Group.
A strong team.
You can rely on this league to support yourself.
It is divided into regional auditions and national finals.
The regional competition is divided according to the province, and the provincial quarterly champion team can receive a cash prize of 80,000 yuan.
The runner-up and third runner-up were 40,000 and 20,000 respectively.
The prize money for the Legend Group is 20% higher.
35 provinces in the country.
Except for the cherry blossoms, the province is unable to cooperate due to special reasons.
This means that the cost of bonuses in a quarter is as high as almost 10 million.
There are three quarterly competitions in one year.
The investment here alone is as high as 30 million.
Plus the final quarter for the National Finals.
The prize for the champion here is one million.
The runner-up and third runners-up are 400,000 and 200,000 respectively.
At this point, there is no division between the gold group and the legend group.
Avoid having the strength of the Legend group but fishing in the gold group.
As for one might say it's not fair.
I'm sorry!
Esports dishes are the original sin.
However, it is also possible to travel for free.
The plan is to make a large-scale offline event.
At this time.
Jiang Yuanming looked at the quotations of several lions on the information.
Immediately, he shook his head with a smile and said, "It's still a low CSGO game!" If the Alliance or PUBG wants to do such a large-scale event, it is estimated that they will have to say thank you to each other even if they still pay for it! ”
Wang Jiming sat at Jiang Yuanming's desk.
Wen Sheng also nodded in agreement.
According to the plan.
In the early stage, they wanted to select more than 500 Internet cafes across the country to cooperate.
At present, there are 36 first-tier cities and 237 second-tier cities in China
According to the first-tier cities, four are in the first-tier cities, and two are in the second-tier cities.
Then he said with a worried face: "If you do it like this! At least more than 30 million will be burned in a month, and it will be almost 400 million in a year, will Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu agree? ”
The price of the chain Internet café here ranges from 40,000 to 80,000.
Among them, the offer of net fish is the highest.
In first-tier cities, it is 80,000 yuan.
Is 80,000 a month expensive?
At least from the standpoint of these Internet cafes, it's really not expensive.
Even if the event is popular and the number of people on the Internet is full, they will even lose money because of the event.
Like an Internet café in a first-tier city.
Labor rent, equipment depreciation, etc.
The monthly expenses are more than 100,000.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanming waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, I don't know!" Our Mr. Lu must agree, but I'm worried that these more than 600 Lu will be too few! ”
More than 600 Internet cafes.
Each company has an average of 140 devices.
More than 80,000 devices.
According to the normal situation of one day, one device can change two waves of people.
Supporting the death can provide more than 100,000 daily game days, of which old players account for two-thirds, and the new players attracted by the event are more than 40,000 to 50,000 at most.
At this time.
Jiang Yuanming dialed Lu Yiming's phone.
The current situation was reported.
And Lu Yiming's reaction was not what Jiang Yuanming expected.
"More than six hundred? Less! Double it! ”
Jiang Yuanming didn't open it.
But Wang Jiming can hear it.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
In a word, from burning more than 30 million to 60 or 70 million a month.
He was sure that Mr. Lu would definitely have a headache when he heard it.
This event is jointly funded by the platform and Perfect World.
The cost is 55 open.
At this time.
He dialed Lu Zhen's phone.
After the whispered debriefing.
Lu Zhenshi exclaimed: "What! Eight hundred million! Where did I get 800 million! Didn't you say that it was up to 400 million? Even if it's 200 million, I have to have a three-day meeting with the board of directors to approve it, is Mr. Lu in front of you now? I want to talk to Mr. Lu! ”
Soon.
The two sides tacitly put each other's phones together.
Lu Yiming and Lu Zhen chatted in this strange way.
"Mr. Lu! 800 million a year is a bit too exaggerated, right? Let's get more than 500 of them and try the water in the first year! It's not like you don't know about my situation, I'm under a lot of pressure on the board! There is also a campus competition that costs money, and it is easy to spend money and difficult to make money these days! Mr. Lu, you also have to be considerate of us! ”
"Mr. Lu! I know you're hard! But if you want to make the event a little more lively! There are only four in a first-tier city, which is too few! Even I think eight is too little! Follow my thoughts"
The words are not finished.
Lu Zhen directly interrupted: "Okay! Mr. Lu, don't say it! I suddenly thought it was good to double it! Just arrange it according to your ideas! It's a total of 800 million a year, right? Let's let them talk about it! I'm going to go to the board of directors first! ”
Lu Zhen was worried about continuing to let Lu Yiming continue.
From 800 million a year to 160 million a year.
The current investment of 800 million yuan is already very exaggerated.
However, it is not that there is no way to return blood, if there are a few local tyrant brands to name it, provided that this activity is hot enough.
There is Lu Yiming, the first person in the current D-tone game area.
Plus he's a D-tone shareholder.
I believe that this heat will not be too bad.
Originally, he agreed to come up with 200 million on the basis that the board of directors could at least return the cost.
At this time.
He had to think about how to continue fooling around.
In order for the board of directors to be willing to pay the remaining 200 million.
As for Lu Yiming, he is currently not enough money.
But it's easy to do.
The money borrowed before has been repaid.
Just continue to take out the share loan of Byte Trembling.
As the so-called cub sells Ye Tian's heart is not distressed, Lu Yiming doesn't care about the shares directly sent by this system.
It can be said that even if the shares of Byte Tremor increase by one billion.
It's not as good as 10,000 more users of the game platform to make him happy.
Soon.
The next day, Jiang Yuanming reached an agreement with the person in charge of these chain Internet cafes and signed a contract.
There is no discount on the price.
But Lu Yiming's traffic is used as an increase. In addition, I went to 200 Internet cafes in third-tier cities to participate in the event.
In total, there are 1,500 Internet cafes in the country.
That's more than 200,000 devices.
Next.
That is, on New Year's Day.
Lu Yiming started the live broadcast.
The first is that the background change was discovered by Leeuwenhoek in the live broadcast room.
Look at the barrage.
Lu Yiming smiled and picked up the camera to show the sailors the layout of the room and said, "You guys are really sharp-eyed!" Funan is still too cold in winter, take the whole family to Sanya for the winter, and go back in the spring after the year! ”
When I traveled to Sanya before.
Lu Yiming thought about coming here for the winter in the future.
The plan was to buy a large flat in the city center.
While the beach and villas may feel a little more luxurious and romantic, once you've lived there, you know that living by the sea is not so comfortable.
The sound of the waves and the fishy smell of the sea breeze.
These are the realities that need to be faced after the romantic filter is removed.
The house hasn't been seen yet.
Now he is staying in a hotel suite.
Parents and grandma are staying next door.
There are a total of six suites on this floor where Lu Yiming lives.
It's all wrapped up by him.
My aunt and uncle will also come over in the next few days.
Since Lu Yiming became rich, although many relatives came to borrow money, his uncle and aunt never looked for him.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is.
Lu Yiming not only hoped that they could find themselves, but also felt that it was best not to have this kind of thing happen.
The ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven may seem like a comical story.
But when their own conditions allow.
Limited help for the relatives around you.
It is understandable not to say that it is understandable.
But Lu Yiming felt that he could still help.
For example, starting a business requires capital and getting married requires buying a house.
Lu Yiming is still willing to arrange it for a few brothers.
In the most difficult period before his rebirth, although his parents did not get along with each other because of his grandmother's affairs, these brothers still secretly lent money to Lu Yiming in private.
Not much money.
But it's also here.
At this time.
Lu Yiming started the broadcast and interacted with the sailors for a while.
Then I brought up the matter of the Internet café competition.
After learning the details of the event.
The water friends in the live broadcast room are boiling.
【it!】 Doesn't that mean that the Internet fee is only a few dollars a day? 】
[Woo woo ~ Why don't you start early! ] I just rushed Wu Bai at the Internet café downstairs at home yesterday! 】
[Ten more draws? At the same time, there is an additional bonus to the number of lottery draws when the team match is played in the Internet café? Is there such a big activity? 】
【Take off!】 I have a net fish downstairs! 】
[Sanhe Okami sits and waits for the coordinates to be announced! ] 】
[Mr. Lu, is this going to vigorously promote CSGO? ] Brothers! Good news! Hurry up and tun the jewelry! Next year the price is estimated to take off! 】
【. 】
There are still quite few CSGO players who choose to go to an internet café to play.
It is mainly the environment that plays a role.
Unlike other games, it doesn't require much headphones and the environment.
In addition, the current consumption of Internet cafes is high.
It's really better to play at home.
But with this activity, I believe that there will be more people who are willing to go to the Internet café to play, and at the same time, some players of other FPS games, when they see that the Internet café activity is so strong, when a certain CSGO craze atmosphere appears, they may choose to change the game to play.
To a certain extent, this made a wedding dress for V Society.
But at present, Lu Yiming has a stake in V Society.
Don't worry about your own business.
And there is naturally one and there are two.
Maybe one day the surname of V society is Lu~ (end of this chapter)
