Chapter 575 DNF

The chat with Neople's executives was in a harmonious atmosphere.

Lu Man and his deputy from the agency team talked with them about the game DNF, the game markets in China and South Korea, and even the future global digital entertainment trends.

"We solemnly apologize for the misprint of the plan today."

The Korean on the DNF side stood up and bowed slightly: "Due to our negligence, several Chinese teams left directly during the morning meeting."

And many of the remaining people couldn't even fully explain their ideas. Regardless of the assistance of the plan book, they even made mistakes in remembering the game characters and map names.

Lu Man was not surprised by this. He only heard DNF say again: "We do not set too high requirements for agents, but we hope that in addition to basic cooperation capabilities, we can get the most basic attention."

"It may be difficult for your company's team to imagine. This is not to denigrate your earlier counterparts - there is a team from the Shanghai stock market that has made a generous commitment. After they represent DNF, they will spend a one-time cost of 3000 million US dollars to use the most advanced Blade server.”

"However, after our subsequent understanding, they were negotiating with more than a dozen Korean online games at the same time, and all of them promised that they would use 3000 million U.S. dollars of blade servers to exclusively run these games!"

Lu Man smiled and was noncommittal. The game manufacturers that have emerged from the domestic market these days have a lot of recklessness and a variety of tricks.

"Before you, there was another team. We had already negotiated terms. However, in subsequent communications, their attitude was always condescending. The core operations planners didn't even understand which character was holding the lightsaber. They From the deepest part of my heart, I don’t care about the game.”

"We looked up news from your country and learned that their corporate culture is like this. To judge the value of a game, they actually hired a group of returned Ph.D.s from Ivy League schools in the United States to build complex mathematical models to guide them. Investment in agent games sounds very scientific, but these doctors don’t play games and can’t really understand them, which will be fatal.”

Lu Man nodded. The other party's judgment was indeed good. Any industry is afraid of laymen guiding experts. This company will decline in the next few years, from being a hit to fading out of everyone's sight.

"Talk about us, ladies and gentlemen."

The DNF side asked Lu Man what his expectations were for the future of the game after becoming an agent. Naturally, Lu Man would not say that this game would earn tens of billions in a few years, but only mentioned his current views.

"After the public beta test started in China, within half a year, millions of people were online - without adding water or encouraging more users."

Everyone on the DNF side laughed and were surprised by Lu Man's prediction.

"Sir, our current market share in South Korea is 3%, ranking in the top ten of all games. The top three, all with a share of about 10%, are Raid, StarCraft, and World of Warcraft."

"World of Warcraft, do you know the number of people online in China?"

"It took World of Warcraft three years to reach 100 million online users in China."

Lu Man did his homework beforehand and immediately answered: "Zhengtu, which is currently the most popular in China, took the shortest time to reach one million online, and it also took one year."

"So you have too high expectations for DNF?"

Lu Man shook his head and said: "Actually, most Chinese teams come here to find DNF for a simple purpose - to try their luck. Some of them look down on 2D games like arcade fighting, and only think that 3D is a masterpiece; some of them I just blindly believe that Korean online games are better than domestic online games, and being an agent is a gamble with a high chance of winning——"

"I think this is also a big reason why your company carefully selects agents. Studios that make their fortune from games will have some feelings and regard the games they produce as their proud children. They hope to be the first factor in making money. In addition, we can also do a good job in all aspects of this game-including overseas operations.”

Although the other party didn't make any noise, Lu Man saw that the hand of the middle-aged man sitting at the main seat, stirring the coffee with a spoon, obviously slowed down until he stopped.

He felt more confident and followed the topic just now and said: "This is also our advantage. Although we are not as good as the leading companies, if the leading companies take over a dozen Korean games every time and operate them together, it will be allocated to DNF. The team resources and servers are not much better than those of small companies, and we have a team that is deeply involved in the game and will focus on promoting the true value of this game.”

"But, with all due respect, in comparison, you lack publicity funds. How can you ensure the effectiveness of promoting the game?"

Lu Man shook his head and asked: "China has a huge number of Internet users, but how many of them own PCs, personal computers? Have you collected relevant information?"

This question obviously stunned everyone on the other side. Without a computer, how can one be called a netizen?

"Less than 50%." Lu Man said a statistic that surprised them even more.

"This is the current reality. In China, there are indeed many people online, but less than half of them have computers at home."

"They also have another main way to access the Internet - Internet cafes. And among them, there are also 'new' users who have never been exposed to computer games, so they don't care about 3D2D, Korean games and American games. Instead, they are interested in It’s similar to the DNF fighting game in the game arcade and Xiaobawang.”

"So, to be realistic, the best is the one that suits the national conditions. Too many people need a game that is easy to get started, has a comfortable style, is highly playable, and has long-term updates, which is enough for them to continue playing. That is enough."

"And our domestic blog website and the "Twin Farm" web game have a huge number of potential user groups, which highly overlap with the player profiles - I think we can have an in-depth discussion tomorrow morning?"

The executives on Neople's side nodded to each other, and the middle-aged man at the head stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Man. …

……

"Jia'er, Xiaoshuang, open the door."

"Come on, come on~ What's wrong, brother?"

Gu Jiaer, wearing pajamas, opened the door for him. The girl poked her head in, "Did you have a fight with Lingyi? Did she kick you out?"

"Can you just hope for the best?"

Lu Man made a knife gesture and gently placed it on the top of Gu Jia'er's head.

"Just finished chatting with DNF."

"Huh? So long? I thought you had already left the show, so I didn't go down..."

"They sent some original drawings. I picked out a few, from City in the Sky, Celia and Elemental Master, for you."

"Thank you, brother~"

Gu Jiaer's almond-shaped eyes were bright and she looked at him expectantly: "It looks like the conversation was very good? It went smoothly?"

"It's roughly settled."

Lu Man relaxed for a while: "We will discuss signing the contract next week."

"Yes!! Brother!!"

Gu Jiaer looked even happier than him and threw herself on Lu Man, hanging like a koala.

"I knew you would succeed, brother!"

Gu Jiaer smiled: "Are you going to change your story in the future? Is Lu Xiaoman a billionaire?"

"According to the normal development of the future script, it should be like this, unless there are changes in the future..."

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Jiaer was happy for him: "Brother, you have worked hard, then I will reward you~"

The girl's tongue quickly grazed her upper lip, and Lu Man's Adam's apple moved: "Jia'er."

The two kissed each other.

Gu Jiaer kissed intoxicatedly. They had kissed many times before, but this time, she felt a completely different sensation.

The love between the two is like a candy that sprouts and grows.

Candy doesn't grow, Gu Jiaer knows, but this is the metaphor she wants to use at the moment.

My own naivety and harshness in high school gave the first candy a bitter smell.

On her 18th birthday, Lu Man and she almost missed it, kissing in the snow in Yanjing. The taste of the candy was astringent but also sour.

"After the kiss, tell him what you are thinking."

Gu Jiaer felt like her whole body was immersed in the sweet smell.

The candy that belongs to them is ripe.
