Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 36 Game start

Jinmiao’s words, Meng Qian’s recognition is that the product and promotion are indispensable, otherwise he would not have to spend energy to promote the game. According to legend, it was so popular at the beginning, and the “God’s Biography” might be popular without any promotion.

But Meng Qian didn’t want to bet on this possibility. What’s more, “Legend” did not put much effort in promotion at the beginning.

“The game is getting better in Hangzhou now, do you have any ideas next?” Meng Qian continued to ask.

“Hangcheng is just a model house. Next, I plan to take this model house to sell.”

“It seems that we still need a detailed cooperation rules.” Meng Qian said directly.

Jin Miao also nodded and agreed, “It’s still the same sentence, classmates, I don’t want to play with you, the performance these days is my self-expression, if you feel satisfied, I want Dafeng Technology Innovation Regional agent.”

Meng Qian controlled the change of his expression, but he was a little surprised and happy, because Jin Miao’s thoughts coincided with him again.

Regarding how to spread across the country in this era when there is no Internet banking, Meng Qian has considered it for a long time, and he has wandered between building his own team and adopting the agency model.

But when Jin Miao made himself aware of his misjudgment on the sales side a few days ago, the balance in Meng Qian’s heart has already tilted towards the agency model.

Although the agency model is relatively uncontrollable, it is convenient to win. You don’t need to connect with Internet cafe owners from first-tier to fifth-tier cities.

And there is another selfish reason. Meng Qian from later generations knows that he will recharge online in a few years. At that time, traditional channels will be uncomfortable. If the team that he has painstakingly built does not have a project that can be connected , There may be a shortage of people and money.

“Which area do you want?” Jin Miao directly, and Meng Qian directly.

“Shanghai, Jiang Province, Jiangsu Province.”

Meng Qian couldn’t help but smile, “You have a big appetite.”

“I can accept competition. If you have better people, compare them at any time.”

“Then how much discount do you want?”

“Since the company’s previous sales have set the original policy foundation there, during the policy period, I will have a 40% discount. After the policy period, we will adjust it again.”

Jin Miao’s request is reasonable and unreasonable. What is reasonable is that he wants a 40% discount during the policy period instead of a permanent 40% discount. The so-called policy period is a benefit for Internet cafe owners during the promotion of “The Legend of God”. , The previous policy was to give a minimum of 40% off. Later, for acting, a temporary policy of 50,000 for 100,000 was established.

But these are all discounts during the policy period. After the policy period, it is impossible to give them such a big discount, otherwise the market will be chaotic.

So the unreasonable part is that Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces are actually very blank now. Before the company’s sales were mainly in the Jiang province area, Jin Miao charged him a 40% discount during the policy period, but he went there. While exploring the market, he has the final say on the following policy. He can give others a 5% discount. As long as he has this ability, he can eat a lot of profits with one policy period.

But after thinking about it, if he can really get 5% off, it is indeed his skill. As long as he can balance the market, he deserves to make this money, so Meng Qian immediately agreed, and the two studied the details of the agency contract together for a while.

On the morning of July 5th, “The Legend of God” was officially launched.

In addition to offline promotion, “The Legend of God” also has online promotion, but in 2000 there was no game platform like 17173. Meng Qian mainly advertised on some game forums, followed by Maopu and Tianya.

Online promotion should still have some effect. In less than a day, the number of online downloads of “God’s Biography” exceeded 1,000.

Going to Jiang Province, Jiangsu Province and the Internet cafes that have been captured in Shanghai, some of the downloads should come from the effect of online promotion.

And the hottest place in “The Legend of God” is undoubtedly Hangzhou.

On the day of July 5th, all Internet cafes in Hangzhou have been installed with “The Legend of God”, and 80% of the Internet cafes have posted various propaganda posters of “The Legend of God”.

After turning on the computer, the advertisement on the login interface is also “The Legend of God”, and the most eye-catching one is naturally “The Legend of God” in the game category bar.

Coupled with the word of mouth within a certain range a few days ago, many people came to the Internet cafes guarding the No. 5 “God’s Biography”. Some people who have not been to the Internet cafes during this period can see the surroundings as soon as they arrive at the Internet cafes. Many people are playing a game they haven’t played.

No matter what the reason is, people who come to the Internet cafe will take a look with curiosity, and then register an account to experience it. This is the advantage of not needing to point a card.

Then, everyone will feel the very fresh gameplay in this era.

“This game is a bit interesting, I have never seen this type before.”

“Yeah, how come I can’t stop, it’s higher than CS.”

“The characters are also very beautiful, especially the female characters, they are very flavorful.”

“You can start teaming up at level 10. You guys hurry up to level up. Go and play that stuff together, I can’t do it alone.”

“Are you in a purple outfit? What kind of character do you have, I’m **** white!”

“Why did I fall off as soon as I was still on the leaderboard? Is there any way to increase his strength?”

“The ancient ruins are refreshed only once an hour, the probability is too low, so many people are robbing them.”

“What kind of magic point can I buy strengthening materials, how do I get the magic point?”

“The soldier can do it just now. I’ll add a friend and bring him to our team.”

“He also has a group building function here, as well as voice. I will set up a group so that we can communicate together when we spawn monsters.”

“This Fengxin has a separate program that can be downloaded, which is quite convenient. You can continue to chat even if the game is not online.”

“You can build an alliance at the 20th level. I will do a research and study, and I will pull all the people in our class into the alliance. There is an advantage in the alliance to fight monsters together.”

“This game can still get married, Xiao Liu married your wife, see the introduction and the wedding ceremony.”

“Let’s go all night tonight, rush to level 30, you can go to the wild land, there are too many people who come back and you can’t grab good equipment.”

…

“The Legend of God” has become popular in Hangzhou.

At 12 o’clock in the evening on July 7, 2000, the number of people online in “The Legend of God” exceeded 1,000 at the same time, but more than half of the players were from Hangzhou. Meng Qian immediately compared the statistics and related information with Jin Miao who was in Shanghai. The docking was carried out.

With the great success of Hangzhou, Jin Miao began to visit Internet cafes in Shanghai the next day with data and his own routines, and started his journey of expanding the territory abroad.

On July 10, 2000, 15 Internet cafes in Shanghai reached a cooperation agreement with Dafeng Technology. According to the agreement, these 15 Internet cafes will promote “The Legend of God”, but Jin Miao needs to give them a preferential policy of point card.

“The point card policy here in Shanghai is different from that in Jiang Province, will there be any problems?” Meng Qian thought about it or asked.

“Don’t worry, they are all foxes of a thousand years. They will naturally take good care of their mouths if they give them benefits. You can also rest assured that the discounts are limited. Besides, people in Hangzhou want to bypass the agency and get some cards. If they do, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that the lowest price is still mine. I operate two lines and they can’t get around me.”

…

On July 15, 2000, the game was online for ten days, and the maximum number of simultaneous online users exceeded 2,000. What is even more exciting on this day is that the point card sales exceeded 100,000.

The company got 60,000 in hand.

As for how many Internet cafe owners actually sold, Meng Qian doesn’t know. What he pays attention to is the reaction of players. He has created a forum in the game, and he has been paying attention to the situation of the forum.

At present, his own krypton gold system has not encountered much opposition. This is also due to the fact that Meng Qian’s current krypton gold system is still very watery. Players can mainly buy materials and gift packages, and will not let them Human RMB players can quickly open up a big gap through krypton gold. If they do this at the beginning of the game, they are likely to kill the game.

Moreover, the PK system is still very shallow. There is only a strong P system, so players are more focused on self-improvement, and the small gap in krypton gold will not make everyone too concerned.

As for the gift package, it only costs five yuan and ten yuan, and the things they get are very cost-effective. The players not only don’t reject it, but even seem to like it a bit.

“Maybe this is also the characteristic of this gaming era?” Meng Qian did not expect everyone’s attitude towards gift packages.

Before doing promotion in Hangzhou, Meng Qian spent 150,000 yuan. The company actually has no money. The 60,000 yuan income is considered to stabilize Meng Qian’s heart.

He first supplemented a few servers, and then used 30,000 for online promotion.

On July 20, 2000, the highest number of simultaneous online players in “The Legend” exceeded 3,500. The number of game downloads exceeded 50,000.

There are also more and more Internet cafes in areas outside the three provinces of Jianghu, Jiangsu, and beginning to install “The Legend of God”.

At the same time, the problem that players from other provinces cannot buy point cards still appeared.

On July 25, 2000, the sales of “God’s Biography” point card exceeded 300,000. Meng Qian directly made a big advertisement on the current mainstream websites such as the three major portals and recruited agents across the country.

This time the advertisement really worked, and the download volume of “God’s Biography” increased rapidly.

On July 30, 2000, Dafeng Kechuang signed the first provincial generation besides Jin Miao, Lin Shu from Fujian Province.

At the same time, the number of downloads of “The Legend of God” exceeded 200,000 on this day.

On August 5, 2000, “The Legend of God” launched a special event, the full moon event. On this day, the game gave out a lot of benefits, and players also celebrated the full moon in the game.

At 7:31 pm on August 5, 2000, with the help of welfare, the number of people online at the same time in “The Legend of God” exceeded 10,000!

It took more than a month for “Legend” that year to achieve 10,000 simultaneous online. “The Legend of God” was frustrated in the initial promotion and under the premise of flawed Internet speed, it achieved 10,000 simultaneous online in one month. The goal.

This evening The employees of Dafeng Science & Technology Co., Ltd. were preparing to have a supper at the company. Everyone moved the table and sat on the floor, which was considered a celebration.

Today’s Dafeng Technology Innovation, the science and technology department has expanded to 15 people, the art department has expanded to 7 people, 2 new people in the customer service department, 2 people in the promotion department who are responsible for finding agents, and 3 people in the game operation department.

Since the first batch of entrepreneurial teams laid a very good foundation for the atmosphere, the people who came later were not too hypocritical, and the working environment of the entire company is still very good.

Before starting to eat, Meng Qian inevitably had to say a few words, “I am personally very satisfied with the performance of “The Biography of God”, that is, within my expectations and beyond my expectations, all the credit belongs to everyone present. One person, especially our first ten-person development team, is you who planted the new shoot of “The Legend of God” on a land of nowhere.

In addition, I want to thank two people in particular. The first person is Yuhang. Thank you for changing yourself for the team.

The second person is Sister Sun, thank you for helping me cheat so many talents.

So, I won’t say too much. Today is a special day in “The Legend of God”. It is a harvest and a new beginning. Thousands of words are in the wine! ”

Meng Qian drank a glass of rice wine, and everyone else followed and finished the glass of wine.

After 　　, everyone enjoyed eating, drinking, chatting, playing games, eating from ten o’clock to one o’clock in the morning, and through three hours of relaxation, they all released the busyness and pressure during this time.

took a look at the time, and Meng Qian had to interrupt everyone’s interest, “It’s late today, everyone will go home early to rest. I will announce one thing here by the way.

Starting tomorrow, the company will start the secondary development of the Fengxin project. We will develop a very important thing:

Hyacinth circle. ”
