Chapter 255 \\"World Of Warcraft\\" Is Online, Selling 4 Million Yuan A Day
Different from the previous life.
In its previous life, "World of Warcraft" was first publicly tested in North America and officially released in the United States, New Zealand, Maple Leaf Country, Kangaroo Country and Mexico on November 23, 2004.
In China, it had to wait until March 21, 2005, when it was agented by The9 City and began public testing, and it was officially commercialized on June 6 of that year.
But now, Baoxue has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Future Technology.
Therefore, simultaneous public testing will be conducted globally and commercial operations will be conducted simultaneously.
After the meeting.
Explosive Snow and Future Technology accordingly issued an announcement to end the public testing of "World of Warcraft" and officially launch it into commercial operation three days later.
It is intended to tell all players that in three days, "World of Warcraft" will be charged!
Lu Yi is well aware of the money-making ability of "World of Warcraft"!
Back then, The9 was originally a little-known game company.
But just because it obtained the exclusive agency rights of "World of Warcraft" in China, it soared to the sky with "World of Warcraft" and became a major domestic game manufacturer on par with Shengda Company, leaving other game manufacturers behind!
It is said.
"World of Warcraft" is officially commercialized in China. From June 6 to June 30, in just 24 days, The9 earned 52.3 million yuan.
Zhu Jun, the head of The9, once revealed in a report that The9 made a total of 2.1 billion in the four years it represented "World of Warcraft"!
""World of Warcraft" is finally about to be released. "Looking forward to it!"
"Holy shit! So, in three days, "World of Warcraft" will be charged?"
"It is finally about to be officially commercialized. Although the public beta version is very fun to play, some functions have not been released and some maps are incomplete. I am not happy!"
"support!"
"Haha, European and American online games have no sense of beauty, "World of Warcraft" is a crappy game!"
“I wonder what Future Technology will do in combating cheating? If Future Technology allows cheating to run rampant in World of Warcraft, then I can only say goodbye!”
"That's right! I hate cheating the most! It completely destroys the fairness of the game!"
"Let's just talk about "Miracle MU" represented by Ninetowns. When this game first came out, I was very impressed and was a loyal player. But in the later period, all kinds of cheats were rampant, and Ninetowns management didn't care about it, so I gave up directly! I hope that future technology can plug this loophole and prevent World of Warcraft from becoming like Miracle MU!"
After the statement was announced, countless players expressed their opinions on a series of platforms such as 'World of Warcraft Bar', 'World of Warcraft Super Chat', and 'World of Warcraft Forum'.
Some expressed support and expectations.
There are also those who are bearish.
There are all kinds of voices.
At the same time, major media outlets also reported on the matter.
originally.
An online game release shouldn't have this kind of popularity, but behind "World of Warcraft" is future technology.
As long as it has something to do with future technology, that's big news.
soon.
Such as:
["World of Warcraft" will be officially released globally simultaneously on December 1st!]
[European and American online games have no sense of beauty!]
[Excessive upgrade speed will make players lose the fun of the game quickly! 】
[Will "World of Warcraft" be the first Waterloo of future technology? 】
etc.
A series of reports were overwhelming.
Goose Factory.
Brother Ma looked at the various news about "World of Warcraft" on the Internet and gritted his teeth with hatred.
originally.
The agency rights for "World of Warcraft" should belong to their Goose Factory.
But Lu Yi stepped in and directly cut off their plans and bought the entire Baoxue, completely cutting off their thoughts and forcing them to develop an online game independently.
But.
For Goose Factory, which has little experience, it is not easy to develop an online game. In addition, they do not have much funds, which makes it even more difficult.
Now four or five months have passed, and the new game is still far away!
At this moment, seeing that "World of Warcraft" is about to be released simultaneously around the world, can Brother Ma not be angry?
Immediately.
Brother Xiao Ma called Xu Chengye over, who was in charge of external public relations.
Now Goose Factory has cut off all departments that can be cut off, including the public relations department.
The purpose is to save money and ensure that game development can proceed smoothly.
"pony, are you looking for me?" Xu Chengye came to the office and asked.
Brother Xiao Ma said: "Chengye, "World of Warcraft" will be released simultaneously around the world in three days. Find someone to send some blackmails about "World of Warcraft"!"
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Xu Chengye nodded and took the order and went out.
Although Goose Factory does not have a public relations department now, he is the public relations department!
After leaving the CEO's office, Xu Chengye began to contact some contacts in the public relations industry and asked them to publish black drafts of "World of Warcraft".
Even if it can't have any impact on the release of "World of Warcraft", it still makes Wolf Wolf feel disgusted with Future Technology and Ludao!
‒‒‒‒‒
Three days later.
December 1st.
"World of Warcraft" is officially released simultaneously worldwide!
Although the official release of "World of Warcraft" is a big event for future technology, Lu Yi did not pay too much attention [still stuck in the Blue Star Electronics Laboratory.
at the same time.
Internet cafes across the country.
"Boss, turn on a machine!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother, there's no room inside, why don't you wait first!"
"No place left? Damn, I've been to three Internet cafes, but there's no place!"
"Uh~ I can't help it. "World of Warcraft" is officially released today. Everyone is here to play "World of Warcraft"."
"World of Warcraft? Is it fun?"
"Of course the games produced by Future Technology are fun! If you don't believe it, 90% of them are playing "World of Warcraft".
"Oh, then I'll go take a look."
“Boss, here’s a point card from World of Warcraft!”
"Give me one too!"
"Okay, here it comes!"
Scenes like this were staged in Internet cafes across the country.
The owners of Internet cafes everywhere smiled from ear to ear as they looked at the packed venues and the quickly sold out point cards.
December 2nd.
The second day after "World of Warcraft" went online.
future technology.
Lu Qi chaired a meeting.
At the meeting.
Cheng Wanli, the head of the game department, excitedly reported to the senior management present the achievements of "World of Warcraft" within one day of its launch.
"Everyone, according to statistics, yesterday, the number of players in "World of Warcraft" at the same time reached a maximum of 550,000, with an average of 460,000, and a daily turnover of 4 million!"
After hearing Cheng Wanli's words, the senior executives present took a deep breath...
"Old Cheng, are you sure this data is correct?" A senior executive who was close to Cheng Wanli said with trembling lips and disbelief.
Cheng Wanli nodded heavily: "When I first got this data, I didn't really believe it. I checked it several times and found that it was indeed this data without any errors.
Hisssssss~
"It's incredible!"
"Oh my God, is the game so profitable? The turnover in one day reached 4 million, and this is the first day it was launched. As the reputation of "World of Warcraft" spreads, the number of people online at the same time will only increase. Isn't it? Say, it is possible for daily sales to exceed 10 million in the future?"
"If we calculate based on the current daily turnover of 4 million yuan, it will be 120 million yuan a month and 1.44 billion yuan a year! Hiss!!"
Everyone present talked about it, all of them gasped and their eyes widened.
A turnover of 1.4 billion per year is terrifying!
It’s a total money grab!
Even Lu Yi's eyes were fixed.
Although he knows that "World of Warcraft" is very profitable and is a cash cow.
But I didn't expect it to be so profitable.
In the previous life, Ninetowns acted as an agent for "World of Warcraft" and earned 52.3 million yuan in 24 days, with an average turnover of 2.17 million yuan a day.
They were twice as many as during the Nine Cities period in the previous life!
In an instant, Lu Yi understood.
Now "World of Warcraft" is under the banner of Future Technology.
With the blessing of the aura of future technology, it is only natural that it should surpass the achievements achieved by Nine City Agents in the previous life.
"Director Lu, you are so wise. At first we thought there was no future in the game business, but now we see how short-sighted we were."
"Yeah! The turnover in one day is as high as 4 million, and 1.4 billion in a year. It's a real cash cow, games, this damn money is making money!"
Several senior executives who initially opposed the acquisition of Weiwangdi's gaming business all sighed.
"Okay, you guys, please stop flattering me."
"The results achieved by "World of Warcraft" are not bad, and the game department must continue to work hard." 4.9 "Let me remind you, that is, we must severely crack down on all kinds of cheating behaviors!"
"Players can tolerate the money-spending behavior of local tycoons, but they cannot tolerate cheating. This will seriously undermine the fairness of the game. Your department must pay special attention to this aspect!"
Lu Yi said to Cheng Wanli.
Cheng Wanli nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Director Lu, we will put an end to all cheating behavior until our account is permanently banned.
Lu Qi asked with a smile: "Director Lu, "World of Warcraft" has had a good start. Should we issue an announcement to announce the good news to the outside world? The outside world is paying a lot of attention to this matter."
"Need not!"
Lu Yi simply shook his head and refused.
“Just keep a low profile and make money!”
"In the gaming industry, we must keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and we must not engage in any high-profile behavior."
He didn't want to be caught out because he was too high-profile and labeled as "games are spiritual PY".
He believes that rather than letting companies like Goose Factory, Wangyi, and Shengda rely on games to make money, it is better to make money himself.
By making a lot of money from the game business, he then invested it in scientific research.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu Qi nodded.
Since Lu Yi said so and also told you to keep a low profile, then do it!
