Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 190 What Broken Net, Can't Move!

When Boss Shi came to the Meiben Cultural Center, he first took a stroll around the outfield, feeling the atmosphere from the perspective of the audience.

Although the capacity of the Meiben Cultural Center is not large, it can only accommodate about 3 people, but in terms of overall design, it is no worse than those gymnasiums that can easily accommodate 10 people.

There are big and warm atmospheres, and small and small exquisite and ingenious.

Through chatting with the staff at the venue, Shi Yining learned that less than a month ago, a mobile phone conference was held in this place. It seems to be called the hammer fruit mobile phone. The name is very interesting, but it seems that the sales are not very good.

If it wasn't mentioned by the staff, Boss Shi who came back from 2021 would have forgotten this phone!
Walking to the infield, Shi Yining saw that many staff members were busy. The layout of the press conference was not an easy task. Song Linkai and several game company employees participated in the layout.

Song Linkai, wearing a safety helmet, is supervising the construction of the stage and the big screen. This is the most important area in the press conference. The speeches made by the company's top management and the singing of Jay Chou's theme song will all be performed on the stage.

The infield of the Meiben Cultural Center can be adjusted in size according to needs, and is enough to build a stage of any size, which is very convenient.

In front of the stage is a media area. Media friends participating in the press conference set up their spears and cannons in this area, and then there is the audience area. There are also activity areas, gift areas, etc.

Shi Yining walked around the infield and started busy with nothing else. He handed a tool to the worker and plugged in a network cable for the computer...

When the staff learned that the boss was doing the work himself, they became more serious one by one, and were forced to be serious...

After a busy afternoon, in the evening, in the private room of The MEAT restaurant in Jiali Hotel, Shi Yining and his party of five were enjoying the top-quality Australian Tomahawk steak.

High-protein foods are a great supplement after physical exertion!

Shi Yining, Song Linkai and the two elder bodyguards ate deliciously.

Suddenly, Shi Yining seemed to remember something, and asked, "Yan Bao, what's the situation with that game?"

Hearing about Shi Yining's culture, Huang Jiayan suddenly lost her appetite for more than 1000 servings of steak. She stopped her knife and fork and said, "H2Z2 has been on the market for [-] hours. According to statistics from the stem platform, the sales volume exceeds [-] copies!"

If Shi Yining hadn't asked about this matter, she didn't plan to talk about it during the meal. This kind of news would affect her mood to some extent.

A copy of the game is 200 dollars, [-] copies is [-] million dollars, and this is only [-] hours of sales!
When it first landed on the platform, H2Z2 needed to rely on third-party promotion to improve its ranking and gain promotion positions, but now it has firmly landed on the headlines of the front page!
Taking up nearly half of the homepage, the advertisement is very eye-catching!
Song Linkai was stunned when he heard this data, and then put down the tableware in his hand, picked up a black truffle French fries with a solemn face, and started to eat.

He knows the stem platform very well and knows exactly what [-] sales in half a day means. This data is amazing!
And Huang Jiayan also overlooked one point, the time period to create [-] sales is in the evening in European and American countries, and as the day comes, the speed of the data increase will accelerate!
In other words, there is no difficulty in breaking through 20 sales on the first day, even 25 or 30 is possible!
Shi Yining nodded without any psychological burden. He probably understands the situation of H2Z2. It was the top seller of the stem game platform in 2016. It sold more than 300 million sets a year, with an average sales volume of nearly [-] a day!
It is not surprising that it sold 50 million on the first day of release. The ceiling of PC game sales on the first day was more than 300 million sets. If you count all platforms, it would be even more exaggerated.

What's more, H2Z2 does have many innovative elements, and it is a matter of course to achieve certain results.

"Is there any more detailed data, such as the purchase volume of Tianchao users?" Shi Yining asked.

Huang Jiayan shook her head and said: "There are no Chinese players in the top ten buying areas."

In the early days, H2Z2 never thought of going to China for sale at all. It was never submitted for review or promoted, so naturally no one bought it.

"There is no problem with the H2Z2 game itself. The novel battle royale gameplay plus zombie elements, and the overwhelming publicity overseas, it is completely reasonable to have such achievements."

As Shi Yining said, H2Z2 is a very good game, if there is no wasteland survival...

"Why are you frowning... Our game will be launched at twelve o'clock, shouldn't we be full of anticipation?"

Shi Yining asked a little confused.

Song Linkai sighed softly and said, "Yi Ning, I know we mainly focus on the domestic market, and there is almost no promotion overseas, but you have spent a lot of money to rent servers from overseas. What if the overseas market is occupied by H2Z2?"

Shi Yining shrugged and said: "After the domestic market is opened, the influence will naturally spread overseas. It is not too late to expand overseas markets after recovering part of the investment. We must clearly prioritize."

Back then, the main market for survival in the wasteland was Europe and the United States, but unexpectedly it became popular in China. Since Shi Yining knew that there would be such a result, he naturally took advantage of the trend and treated domestic players friendly.

What he attaches the most importance to is the domestic market, but at the same time he will not give up the overseas market, but now the money in his pocket is a little tight, which is no longer enough to support his overseas promotion.

Unless the funds for domestic promotion are tightened, but he doesn't want to do that, in case the two sides are not happy at that time, the gain outweighs the loss!
"By the way, Kaizi, have you discussed the share with Stem?"

Shi Yining took a sip of the lobster soup and asked.

Song Linkai nodded and said, "It's settled. There are records in the documents submitted to you earlier. You may not have seen it."

"According to your request, after reaching 2000 million sales, the commission will be reduced to 20.00%. Five, after reaching 5000 million sales, the commission will be reduced to 20.00%."

If it was a month ago, Shi Yining asked Song Linkai to discuss this business with stem, he would not be confident. When he knew that there were companies in China that offered hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the wasteland survival game, his back straightened up immediately!

In fact, he didn't know that Shi Yining asked him to negotiate because he knew that Stem would propose tiered sharing terms in the near future. Perhaps the company already had relevant plans in place at this time.

Maybe some big factories and stems have reached an agreement in private, but the outside world doesn't know that's all.

Shi Yining nodded, and then said: "Well, Kaizi, look at one more thing to discuss with Stem in the past two days, and that is about the payment channel, asking them to add a convenient payment channel within the Celestial Dynasty!"

"We can wait until we have data after the public beta, and I believe the effect will be better."

Shi Yining doesn't quite remember the specific time when Stem added the Wealth Treasure and Prestige Payment, but it seems to be some time around 16.

If you can have a convenient payment method, it will undoubtedly increase the purchase desire of domestic players!
Just to promote this initiative, it needs considerable strength to rely on. A tepid game is not enough for Stem to increase payment channels.

Song Linkai nodded with all his thoughts in mind and said: "This payment channel is very important. It was very inconvenient for me to buy games from Stem before. I had to recharge from Sheobao. It was so troublesome..."

"Okay, just these things, eat, and then wait for our own game to go online!"

Shi Yining's confident appearance infected Huang Jiayan and Song Linkai, and they were no longer worried.

Returning to the guest room after dinner, Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan turned on the computer in perfect agreement. One person entered the live broadcast room to understand the attention, and the other person opened stem to check the sales of H2Z2...

Under the tense atmosphere, Boss Shi didn't even have any interest in playing Hearthstone. He said he didn't care, giving people a confident look, but he was actually very nervous.

"Whether you can achieve success depends on this wave!"

Shi Yining ran to Xu Muqin's live broadcast room for a walk, and then went to the live broadcast room of several top anchors to learn about the situation. From the chat content of netizens, it can be found that everyone is looking forward to the game.

As time went by, around [-]:[-], all the anchors who were live broadcasting Wasteland Survival on the live broadcast platform gradually quit the game, and they reminded netizens very tacitly that they could open the stem software and prepare to download it!

This night is destined to become a sleepless night for many people!

The free public beta is a very necessary link before the game officially enters the market. H2Z2 has not been charged directly after the free public beta, mainly due to the pressure of time. Of course, this is also the advantage and privilege of the big players.

The free public beta can also be understood as gathering players to complete the test together. During this period, a lot of important data needs to be collected.

These include the pressure-bearing capacity of various programs in the game, server carrying capacity, player feedback, market response, player retention and activity, etc.

There are specialized backstage personnel staying at the Kraken Company in the capital just to compile these data.

After more than ten days of closed beta live broadcast, the hungry and thirsty players have already waited impatiently. According to their words, the mouse and keyboard are full of battle food, and they will go to the battlefield just waiting for the drums to sound!

Some netizens who previously swore they would never play PC games even secretly bought computers with very high configurations.

It can be seen that the promotion of live game planting grass has been very successful.

The law of true fragrance is staged on many players.

Finally, it was past twelve o'clock in heaven.

Huang Jiayan reopened Stem immediately. The newly launched game could not appear on the homepage. She directly typed the words "Wasteland Survival" in the search bar.

"Have it!"

There was joy in her tone, and the promotional animation carefully crafted by artists and special effects artists jumped out of the window.

"What's the matter? A little rock?"

Shi Yining was also searching, and at the same time he did not forget to tease Huang Jiayan to ease the tense atmosphere.

His laptop is more expensive than the desktop computer used by the game company for development, and the configuration is unquestionable. After finding the game, he immediately clicks on the game to start the download.

Even if there is already game software in the computer, it needs to be downloaded again. The closed beta version and the public beta version on stem are not the same thing.

"Neuropathy……"

Huang Jiayan spat with a smile, she also clicked download, and then began to read the brief introduction of the game.

Survival in the wasteland is a tactical competitive game that includes a variety of exciting game experiences. Each game will involve 100 players. They will fly over the wasteland island by plane. Choose your favorite place to skydive. After landing All for nothing!
The introduction is very simple, but anyone with good language skills can understand the meaning.

After finishing the Chinese version, Huang Jiayan switched to English and read it again. There was also no problem. As for other small languages, she also browsed a little bit, but she couldn't understand them.

If you use the game company's network to download a file of more than 30 gigabytes, it is not difficult, but the hotel's network is hard to describe.

The two looked at the download speed of more than one megabyte per second, and the reminder that the estimated download time was eight hours, and they were speechless...

"What kind of a fart is this horse riding!"

Shi Yining was immediately angry. A five-star hotel with this internet speed?
Contact the hotel to increase the internet speed...

"Sir, our hotel is connected to dual gigabit optical fibers. It is now a free time, and the situation you mentioned is impossible..."

After receiving the call, the hotel's network technician checked the network status and said that the one yuan and two times were confused.

"But in fact, the problem has already occurred. I have shown it clearly here. The download speed is very slow. Can I still lie to you?"

Shi Yining asked with a little anger.

The technician frowned slightly, checked the network again, and said, "Sir, the network load in the hotel is 20.00%, and 80.00% of the bandwidth is not being used. The network is in good health."

"In good health? Come up and see for yourself!"

Shi Yining was very dissatisfied with the hotel's excuse and asked the staff to come to their room to see how fast the download speed was.

"Yan Bao, go and get me a can of cold beer, it's so hot... If I had known this, it would be better to let Evans take the computer to find an Internet cafe, download it and bring it back!"

Huang Jiayan stroked Shi Yining's back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not like we haven't played games before, so why download it in a hurry, let's wait and see the data later."

After finishing speaking, Huang Jiayan walked towards the refrigerator, and heard a knock on the door just as she finished taking the beer.

When I opened the door, the hotel's network technicians came, wearing uniforms and looking serious.

"Hello, sir."

The technicians are very polite, and they can't afford to offend the boss who lives in the executive suite.

"Hurry up and take a look, your network has a big problem, I wipe it, it will be even slower, originally it took seven or eight hours to finish downloading, but now it takes more than 20 hours! You also said that the network environment is good, so irresponsible! "

Shi Yining stood up to make way for him, took the beer from Huang Jiayan's hand and pulled it away with a puff, and drank a few sips.

Just after taking a few sips of beer, the phone on the table vibrated, and Song Linkai called.

"Sao Ning, have you downloaded the game yet?"

"Don't mention it, I can't move, the hotel's technicians are testing at my place..."

Shi Yining said.

Song Linkai looked at the slow speed with the notebook in his hand, smacked his lips, and said, "I'm also very slow here. The technicians have gone to your place, so I'll go to your place to download it..."

"Okay, come here."

After speaking, the two hung up the phone.

　I will ask for a day off tomorrow. I don’t know if the book lovers had a good time during the National Day holiday. Anyway, I am not very happy, just tired...
