The man who turned the times

Chapter 182 The Expansion Begins

Time flies, and the days of the week slip through the fingers.

In Jianghai City in early August, the weather was still hot, and the scorching heat enveloped the whole city, but this did not stop the progress of the times.

On August [-]nd, which is today, after Yuanyang Software Company confirmed the cooperation with Netcom and VA Company, it set the time for the global closed beta of "Counter-Strike" at [-] o'clock this morning.

As of [-]:[-] pm yesterday, Su Yang got the specific data report from Wei Yongqiang.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 180 million players worldwide who want to participate in this closed beta.

This is just the data obtained from the exposure of the game summit!
It is conceivable how popular this game will be once the closed beta is over and Netcom and VA start to increase channel resources.

Of course, because of its playability and game representation, "Counter-Strike" is enough to make many game-loving players madly obsessed with just the word 3D game.

So hot, that is the inevitable result.

Even if someone makes a better game than "Counter-Strike" at this moment, it cannot stop its rise.

However, although there are 180 million people who want to take the lead in participating in the closed beta and experience the game.

But unfortunately, in order to carry out the hunger marketing in the early stage, the total number of people in the global closed beta is set at 20 people.

As a result, as many as 160 million people were unable to obtain an account for the internal test and were unable to participate in the internal test.

Some enthusiastic players, in order to try the game for the first time, bought a beta account online at a high price, and fired up more than 98 yuan for the beta account that only cost 1000RMB.

This is just a small group of rich and wealthy players. Most of them didn't get the beta account, and they have nothing to do except regret and vent their anger on the forum.

Anyway, the closed beta is only for three days, and the closed beta will start after three days.

Then wait until August 8, which is the day of Qixi Festival, to start the global public beta.

It was nothing more than ten days, neither long nor short. Although it was unbearable, I could still wait.

In addition, under the responsibility of Zhou Lin, Alipay has quickly accumulated more than 200 million registered users by connecting with food delivery.

Because of its concise page and ultra-fast network payment speed, people have an excellent experience.

Except for those who deliberately made troubles, the users who have used it either do not comment, or they all voted for it with unanimous praise.

In addition, with Su Yang's permission, Zhou Lin also plans to let Alipay carry out bundled promotion with "Counter-Strike" and "Plants vs. Zombies".

As long as there are no accidents, after the public beta of "Counter-Strike", it will quickly bring a considerable user base to Alipay.

Alipay is a huge cake. Su Yang, who has benefited from Alipay in his previous life, has a good understanding of this project.

I am also confident that in the future, it will definitely shine among the payment software families in China and the whole world, and even stand out from the crowd.

But the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the steps should be taken step by step, so there is no rush.

The current Ant Financial is still very weak, the credit system is still under construction, and the user group is too small to support the development of various projects in Alipay.

For example, Yu’e Bao, the ace of fund-raising, convenient mobile phone recharge, credit card repayment, train tickets, city services, living bill payment, etc.

These all take time to accumulate and settle down, and a lot of manpower has to be invested in running and cooperating, and it will not be done in a while.

The current Alipay only has simple online payment, and links to Yuanyang Food Delivery and Yuanyang Games, which is very single and concise.

In terms of game development, both "StarCraft" and "DNF" are being produced in an orderly manner.

With the expansion of Yuanyang Software Company and the continuous recruitment of manpower, the speed of game development has also been greatly improved.

But because these two games are no less than "Counter-Strike" games, if you want to get the finished product, you have to wait until September.

Su Yang asked Han Qidong to do it slowly, so he didn't ask.

Now his focus has been on takeaway.

Compared with June, July is another new journey for Yuanyang Food Delivery.

As early as June, Yuanyang Food Delivery has been rolled out in Jianghai City, but it is undoubtedly only a preliminary rollout, and it has not yet been thoroughly deepened.

With the improvement of various systems and the promotion in place in July, as well as the increase of takeaway riders and merchants, the business situation of Yuanyang Food Delivery in Jianghai City has reached a new high.

First of all, the number of registered people on the Yuanyang food delivery platform has exceeded 700 million, which is roughly equivalent to one out of every three people in the entire Jianghai City who has used Yuanyang food delivery.

This ratio looks very exaggerated, but it is not.

Leaving aside the large-scale publicity of Yuanyang Company, for Jianghai City, which has a monthly population turnover of over [-] million, this ratio is less than one-tenth.

Converted to the proportion of the resident population, at most two out of ten people have used Yuanyang takeaway.

Apart from five people who don't eat takeaway, there are still three people who can develop into customers.

Therefore, the takeaway market in Jianghai City is still very broad.

Of course, the number of registered people is just superficial data, and the data that is really useful for food delivery depends on the number of daily orders and transaction volume.

Throughout July, the number of daily orders for food delivery has been increasing, with an average of 62 orders per day. The price per order has dropped compared with previous months, but it remains at 28 yuan.

Calculated in this way, the 31-day transaction volume in July is very intuitive. Compared with June, it has increased by more than 5.3 million, reaching a transaction volume of [-] million.

Among them, the gross profit of the Yuanyang food delivery platform also exceeded [-] million for the first time.

According to Fang Yousheng's joking words, if Yuanyang Food Delivery can be listed now, as long as the sales figures for June and July are announced, the market value will reach at least [-] billion.

The unit is USD.

To his words, Su Yang just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

One is that it is impossible to go public now, because it has not been in business for three years.

Second, Su Yang is not going to let it go public.

Once listed, Yuanyang Food Delivery is basically not his. Any project will be discussed at a shareholders meeting, and Su Yang hates this uncontrolled situation.

What he likes is the feeling of 'autocracy', although this is not a good thing in the business world that pursues brainstorming.

But as a cheating man, he has the qualifications to assert power.

Of course, then again, if Su Yang is really short of money, he can list Yuanyang Food Delivery, and then throw away his shares to cash out. This is a good way to raise money.

There is a transaction volume of up to [-] million in a month, which shows that Yuanyang Food Delivery has full wings in Jianghai City and can expand outward.

The original book funds, plus bank loans, have a liquidity of up to 6 million Yuanyang Food Delivery.

Since yesterday, the other four first-tier cities including Yanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Tianhe, as well as thirty second-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Jinling, Shancheng, Rongcheng, and Chuncheng, have begun to march.

Although 34 million seems like a lot, it is a huge wealth, but it is a bit rare when it is distributed among these [-] cities.

Of course, it is much better than when Yuanyang was founded.

However, as the copyright protection period for food delivery ends, many capitalists will 100% flood into the food delivery market like hungry wolves, which will intensify market competition.

In this regard, at the end of last month, Su Yang, Fang Yousheng and other senior executives of the food delivery company conducted deduction and pre-planning of various situations, and finally came to a conclusion.

As long as there is no policy interference, none of these later capitalists can threaten Yuanyang's dominance in the food delivery business.
