Chapter 401 Genesis Open Beta

"The official does not open any recharge channels. We purely rely on in-game circulation to make money. This is how confident we are in our games!" Mr. Ma from Penguin Headquarters sighed while looking at the data sent by his assistant.

"Mr. Ma, not only you, but also the game planners and analysts in IEG did not expect that future technology would choose such a profit method." Zhao Qingping said.

The so-called ieg, the full name is Interactive Entertainment Group, is Penguin's interactive entertainment group, responsible for the company's game business, including game development, distribution, operation and other related services.

IEG has multiple sub-departments, covering game development and operations in different fields, such as Penguin Games, National Games, Photon Studio, Tianmei Studio, etc.

It can be said that ieg contains all the elites of the Penguin Game Department.

"Have you tried this "Genesis" from Future Technology?" Mr. Ma asked.

"Tried it."

"How does it feel?"

"It's even worse than the propaganda of future technology."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Ma sighed: "Oh! Virtual reality games! In a sense, this is a dimensionality reduction blow to us."

"This is indeed true from the data. The number of active users of our mobile games and client games has dropped significantly, and"

"And what?"

“Their game settings are similar to anti-addiction, and each person can only play for three hours a day. But even so, the number of our game users has dropped significantly.

This shows that the quality of this game is so high that after playing it, you will have no interest in other games.”

"That's enough! Let's stop this topic. Let's talk about their profit methods. What does IEG mean?"

“Future Era directly announced the results of the in-game loop profit during the closed beta.

In a total of half a month from the launch of the trading system to now, Future Era has made a profit of 173 million.

There are currently only 10 game users, and the game is only in the early stages of exploration. Subsequent games will be officially launched, and players are exploring the game more and more deeply, so there will definitely be studios moving in.

When in-game loops are implemented, the economic income from in-game loops alone is estimated to exceed tens of billions in the future era. "

Mr. Ma's face darkened when he heard this, tens of billions!

Penguin's ace game, Dungeon & Fighter, which has been standing for many years, has a revenue of only 2022 billion yuan in 26.9, and the domestic share is only just over [-] billion.

Moreover, DNF relies on the recharges of a large number of players, especially the income from various holiday sets. This game has no recharge channels and can earn tens of billions of revenue by relying solely on in-game circulation. This is too scary!

"Won't their economic system collapse? The studio's arrival should cause their economic system to collapse like the Ark of Destiny in 2023, right?"

"Mr. Ma, I don't think so."

"why?"

“Because Future Technology’s helmet is bound to an ID card, and it must be worn by someone before they can enter the game, which means that it eliminates the possibility of studios adding bricks in the game.

A large number of studios can only move bricks slowly like ordinary players. These studios will only make the internal circulation of the game economy more stable. "

Hearing this, Mr. Ma no longer knew what to say.

After a while, Mr. Ma said: "Then can you report them? Forget it! Reporting won't work. They haven't activated in-game recharge."

Zhao Qingping sighed, Future Era is really awesome at making money through in-game loops!

After extensive research, they determined that there are only two profit methods for Future Technology, one is to sell game helmets, and the other is to draw commissions from official game currency transactions.

The current game currency ratio is relatively high, almost 10 gold coins for 100 gold coins, that is, 1 dollar for 1000 gold coins.

This ratio is unheard of in any game.

The main reason why the gold coin ratio is so low is that money is spent in various places in the early stage of the game, and players do not have gold coins in their hands.

According to the news revealed by Future Era, when you change jobs for the first time, that is, when you leave the novice village and change the map, there will be a gold mine version. This monster does very low damage and can be passed by all players. It is just a variety of mechanisms. It's very complicated, and these mechanisms must be followed.

It takes about half an hour to clear the level once. The current setting is that you can get 5 gold coins once you clear the level.

But apart from gold coins, there is no profit here.

This copy is also the permanent copy of the game.

One person can clear this dungeon up to 6 times a day and can bring out 30 gold coins.

Subsequent adjustments will be made based on the gold coin ratio to ensure that the player's income from moving bricks in 3 hours is more than 50 yuan.

Similar brick-moving maps will appear in the future, a total of 12 will be released, and they will be rotated every month.

This will not make the game too boring for brick-moving players.

The purpose of this kind of brick-moving map is to allow brick-moving players to support the wealthy players in the game.

The game is just like this world, there is no absolute fairness.

Without wealthy players, it would be difficult for the game to continue running.

This is clear to both Penguin and Future Era.

"Mr. Ma, didn't you say you were going to visit Future Technology?"

"Well, let's make an appointment with Future Technology!"

"Okay, Mr. Ma." After saying that, Zhao Qingping turned and left.

Guo Yuan quickly received a visit request from Mr. Penguin Ma.

After Guo Yuan thought about it, he did not refuse. He set the time in one month. This was not Guo Yuan's pretense, but mainly because "Genesis" was about to be officially tested during this period.

Now that the in-game economic cycle of "Genesis" has been completed, there is no need to worry about it anymore, just go online directly.

The only question now is whether the production of helmets can increase in the future era.

Guo Yuan called Xun Haoran over and asked him this question.

"Boss, don't worry. There is absolutely no problem with the production of helmets. I have found several factories here to help assemble them. If we are currently producing at full capacity, we can produce 10 units per day."

"That's fine!"

"Boss, is our game going to be officially launched?"

"Well, since all tests are fine, there's no need to delay."

"Then customer service recruitment must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that no matter how much I give, I won't be able to retain them."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"How about you come and try?"

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not interested!"

"Boss, when will our game be launched?" Xun Haoran asked.

“今天是3月7号，给你们20多天准备时间，4月1号上吧！”

"24 days is about the same."

"Then it's settled." Xun Haoran nodded.

A week later, Xun Haoran collected the final test data.

Because the first batch of closed beta players had all completed job changes at this time, Xun Haoran conducted the first job balance based on the job intensity data after job transfer, and then issued an announcement:
Dear players, thank you for your support for "Genesis" during this period. Our game will be officially launched on April 2025, 4.

The information and data of all closed beta players will be cleared. In order to thank everyone for your help during this period, we will prepare a game gift package for all closed beta players.

The gift package includes an exclusive non-attribute title for beta players, an exclusive non-attribute suit, an exclusive non-attribute weapon appearance, and a pet egg.

Pet eggs can be opened after changing jobs. There is a 5% chance of opening a rare or above pet, and a 0.001% chance of opening a legendary pet.

——Official operation of "Genesis".

As soon as the announcement came out, the players were excited.

It's been less than 2 months since the closed beta and it's about to go into public beta?
They have just changed jobs!Is the lead of the public beta players too small?

And what the hell is the compensation later?

They all have no attributes. The only pet with attributes has only a 0.001% probability of getting a top-quality pet. 31.5% of 0.001 is just 3 pets, right?
In other words, only 3 players can open legendary-level pets.

If you can win this, you can probably win the lottery.

Players in the closed beta have expressed their dissatisfaction with this announcement.

The players who did not participate in the closed beta are very satisfied, so they will not be left behind too much by these closed beta players.

In this way, amid the discussion, the time came to April 4st.

The gaming helmet went on sale 10 days in advance.

As of today, 1000 million helmets have been sold.

According to 01’s backend data, more than 370 million players are now wearing helmets and waiting to enter the game at 12 noon.

Soon the time came to 12 noon, and the server of "Genesis" was officially launched.

The previous closed beta players were already used to what this game was like. They didn't stop to sigh about how awesome the game was, and started to take on tasks and upgrades directly.

There were also some players who read the guide and immediately started upgrading as the guide said.

Some internal beta players discovered the little easter eggs buried by Xun Haoran and the others, triggering hidden missions.

This time when they wanted to follow the previous route, they found that the hidden mission had disappeared.

This will put these closed beta players out of business.

Are dogs planning so leisurely?Have you even changed the hidden tasks?
With the influx of more and more players, the popularity of "Genesis" is also getting higher and higher.

Three hours later, the first batch of players to enter the game were forced offline.

Then Future Era’s customer service phone number was buzzed with calls.

Fortunately, Xun Haoran expanded the customer service team in advance so that the customer service staff would not collapse.

As of 12 p.m. in 12 hours, 1007.35% of the 98.3 million players who purchased helmets were online.

This is a terrifying ratio.

And now the front pages of every social media are related to "Genesis".

The next week was all about Genesis.

This week, no one cares about what happens to those celebrities. All eyes are on the game "Ultima".

Currently, 1800 million units of "Genesis" gaming helmets have been sold.

Future Technology earns 300 yuan for a helmet, and Future Technology has already earned 54 billion from the helmet money alone.

And this is just the beginning. 01 has analyzed the domestic players of "Genesis". According to 01's calculation, the number of users of "Genesis" should reach more than 1 million.

In other words, if the helmet can sell 1 million units, the guaranteed revenue is 300 billion.

"Boss, we will make too much money from the subsequent sales of the helmets and the game itself. Do you want to engage in charity? On the one hand, it can help those in need, and on the other hand, it can reasonably avoid taxes." Zhuge Chuang held up the report. said.

Guo Yuan thought about it and felt that he should do some charity. It didn't matter whether he avoided tax or not. The key was that when he had money, he should do something within his ability.

However, Guo Yuan would not trust any outside charity funds, and the Red Cross was not reliable, so if he wanted to do charity, he had to do it himself.

So Guo Yuan said to Zhuge Chuang: "Let's do this! Brother Chuang, you go and set up a foundation, called the Future Charity Fund.

Future Technology and its subsidiaries put 10% of their annual net income into this fund. "

"10%! Boss, please think twice! According to our company's current ability to make money, the company's annual revenue will reach trillions in two years at most, and the net profit will be at least 2000 billion by then.

2000% of the net profit of 10 billion is 200 billion. Who would use 200 billion for charity! "

"I can't control other people, we just do this." Guo Yuan said.

Zhuge Chuang opened his mouth, obviously wanting to persuade Guo Yuan again.

But Guo Yuan's attitude was obviously very determined. Zhuge Chuang sighed and said nothing more.

"Boss, what kind of people in need does our foundation mainly help?"

"The first is the disabled, especially those who need to have their limbs resected, and then there is education, mainly left-behind children in rural areas, and places with relatively poor educational resources."

"Okay, I know."

Guo Yuan nodded to indicate that Zhuge Chuang could go out.

Zhuge Chuang came out of Guo Yuan's office and immediately started building the foundation.

Soon word spread within Future Technology that the boss was planning to set up a large foundation and put 10% of the company's net profits into charity every year.

Regarding Guo Yuan's operation, the employees of Future Technology did not dare to discuss it in the company. They would say anything outside the company.

Some said that Guo Yuanren was stupid and threw the money away, some said it was for show, and some said it was to avoid taxes. Guo Yuan did not pay attention to these comments. The more he paid attention to them, the more they became more and more angry.

Sure enough, after these people discussed it for a few days, they changed the topic.

However, this incident has also been posted online.

Although Future Technology has not publicly announced this plan, netizens already know that Future Technology is setting up a foundation, and the main thing is to help people with disabilities.

Unlike within Future Technology, netizens overwhelmingly support Future Technology's establishment of a foundation. After all, donating money to help others is a good thing no matter how you think about it.

Not everyone in this world is in good health. The efficacy of the amputated limb replacement technology jointly developed by Future Technology and Longcheng Biotechnology is obvious to everyone.

More than 100 people have now regained their ability to take care of themselves with the help of this technology.

It’s just that the cost of this technology is too high, and most families with disabilities are not as good as ordinary people. With this foundation, it will definitely be a good thing to help more disabled people.

Guo Yuan was unaware of the discussions among netizens because he had other things to be busy with.

"Boss, tomorrow is the day when Mr. Ma from Penguin comes to visit. Should we make some preparations?" Cheng Shuqing asked.
