Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 194 The cooperation between the two generations of managers!
Wang Ning was completely speechless.

Liu Wei smiled knowingly and explained:
"Krypton gold weapons themselves are designed mainly for PVE, so their values ​​are not prone to huge changes."

"As long as our game content is good, players will pay and buy a skin for the weapon they want."

Wang Ning still hesitated: "Will players buy it?"

Liu Wei paused for a moment and said, "You're right, what if players buy the weapons and cause a proliferation of weapons?"

"Let's see, we can only sell three thousand new krypton gold weapons every month, never more!"

Wang Ning didn't know what to say.

Mr. Liu, are you too optimistic?

What I mean is that players simply won't buy this new weapon, so good for you.

It is directly determined that players will buy it in an endless stream.

Who gave you the courage, Liang Jingru?
Although Wang Ning thought so, looking at Mr. Liu's appearance of knowing the pearls of wisdom, he could only sigh slightly and nodded in agreement.

With Wang Ning leaving, only Zhao Bin and Liu Wei were left in the office.

Zhao Bin looked more and more nervous.

Liu Wei didn't pay too much attention. New employees would be more or less nervous when faced with this situation.

As for Zhao Bin, this situation is only slightly obvious.

"I hope you can coordinate with Manager Wang during this period to complete these things."

"This way your department can take the lead alone next time."

Zhao Bin immediately stood up and said solemnly: "I promise to complete the mission!"

Liu Wei watched Zhao Bin leave and lay back on the sofa with satisfaction.

Great, things worked out perfectly.

Liu Wei poured himself a cup of tea with a somewhat satisfied expression.

Liu Wei thought for a long time about what kind of industry to open in the sub-industry.

Finally, I set the goal of a novel website.

There are only three reasons why Liu Wei was sure.

First, the current domestic novel platform has been monopolized by the "Tianya Chinese App". To be more precise, the "Tianya Group" behind it has almost monopolized all novel platforms.

If you enter at this time, you will definitely not even recognize your mother.

Second, readers of novels value the quality of the novel itself rather than various promotions.

Since all the authors have been monopolized by Tianya Chinese Network, newly opened websites cannot find new authors at all.

Even if there are, they are just some street guys, no matter how much they write, no one will read them.

Third, there is no upper limit on how much money can be spent in the virtual industry.

This upper limit refers to the upper limit of the system.

If it is a physical store, it is impossible to rent a house with a monthly rent of 7000 and buy tens of thousands of chairs and tables. This is not in line with the basic laws of the market.

But the website is different.

The underlying computing logic of a website can be very low-end, and a lot of gorgeous search functions can be added to it.

As long as you can calculate it, it doesn't matter how much you add.

Of course, this amount also has an upper limit, but compared with the real industry, this upper limit is extra high.

"This time there is only two months, and the amount of the task is as high as 5000 million. The task that could have been completed by just spending a lot of money, turned out..."

Liu Wei was thinking glumly about the 'National Annual Recommended Game'.

According to the original profit rate, I only need to spend more than 1000 million to easily complete the task.

But now because of the high tax exemption of "Cyber ​​Age" and the popularity of "Bad Life".

This number has changed from more than 1000 million to 500 million.

This is why Liu Wei insists on setting a quota relationship for the new weapons in "Crossing the Storm".

One weapon costs 888, and a thousand weapons cost less than 300 million a month.

Can't online games make money?

Well, I will directly lock the upper limit of your earning for you now and see how you earn it for me!
……

In the office area, Zhao Bin was sitting upright and listening to Wang Ning's teachings.

"Don't be so formal. We are colleagues, not superiors and subordinates." Wang Ning frowned slightly.

Zhao Bin's expression was very serious: "But Manager Wang, you are my senior, and you must maintain due respect for your seniors."

Wang Ning frowned and said in a stern tone: "You can just get over it!"

"Ultimate Technology is not just a company, but a harmonious and friendly family."

"Don't bring the garbage culture of other companies in society to us."

Zhao Bin nodded repeatedly.

The whole person slumped, showing a comfortable expression.

It was really torture for him to maintain that straight back posture.

When Wang Ning saw this scene, he smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Isn't it much more comfortable this way?"

Zhao Bin nodded, and then asked with some confusion: "Brother Wang, why did you stop me?"

As soon as he came out of Mr. Liu's office, Zhao Bin found that Wang Ning, who should have left long ago, did not leave, but stood at the door.

After seeing himself coming out, he waved his hand to follow him.

This made Zhao Bin panic and kept thinking about whether he had offended Wang Ning in some way.

That's why I showed that attitude just now.

But now that the misunderstanding was resolved, Zhao Bin immediately asked his inner doubts.

Wang Ning nodded, looked at Mr. Liu's office and said, "Let's discuss the division of labor for game updates."

Zhao Bin: "I will obey Brother Wang's instructions in everything."

When Wang Ning heard this, he smiled and said immediately:

"Then you'll be in charge of "Smashing Life", and I'll be in charge of "Simulator Mountain"."

"We are responsible for "Through the Storm" together."

Zhao Bin was slightly startled when he heard this.

It wasn't because the tasks assigned to him by Wang Ning were cumbersome.

It’s because at Ultimate Technology, Mr. Liu has always implemented a standard.

Whoever makes money is destroyed.

In other words, the more money a game makes, the more shares the responsible department gets.

This also leads to the possibility that an event in other companies will be rejected by each other, but this will not happen in Ultimate Technology.

Everyone is rushing to make games, how can we push it out.

And "Bad Life" has just been on the 'official recommendation list', and its profitability is definitely far higher than "Sim Mountain".

What's more, even the most important game "Through the Storm" was developed by both companies.

This left Zhao Bin speechless for a moment.

In the end, thousands of words converge into one sentence - life is the ultimate technology for people, death is the ultimate technology for dead people.

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Zhao Bin expressed his gratitude crazily.

But Wang Ning waved his hand directly and said: "You are responsible for those games yourself. We are mainly discussing the update plan of "Crossing the Storm" now."

"Yeah, brother Wang, tell me." At this time, Zhao Bin was like a little brother who obeyed orders.

He was prepared to do whatever Wang Ning wanted to do.

Wang Ning was not polite and said directly: "It goes without saying about capital costs. Mr. Liu's request has always been the most expensive and the best."

"There is also a dedicated plot planner in charge of the plot. What we want to discuss is the top priority of this update - krypton gold weapons." "Mr. Liu rarely made other requests for the krypton gold weapons this time, but For Mr. Liu, no request is the greatest request."

"How to sell new weapons while maintaining a balance between two krypton gold weapons is our biggest problem."

Zhao Bin nodded.

Wang Ning is right. Generally speaking, in order to increase the sales of new krypton gold props.

Game companies will enhance new krypton gold props, and new versions of monsters will also be strengthened.

This is not a scam, but an inevitable law of game development.

As the game time increases, the player's own strength will definitely become stronger and stronger.

At this time, if the new krypton gold props were at the same level as before, who would be willing to buy them.

Purchasing super model weapons is like being scolded by ordinary players as a krypton gold sow.

But if you want to buy some props that don't have improved attributes... then you are the stupid son of a landlord - a stupid person with a lot of money.

Therefore, Mr. Liu’s new version of the krypton gold item cannot form a setting that obviously improves his strength. Instead, it is the biggest problem restricting them from selling new weapons.

"But Mr. Liu also gave his answer." Wang Ning said with a smile.

When Zhao Bin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Brother Wang, please tell me."

Wang Ning shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu's reminder is very obvious, it is to sell a limited number of one thousand pieces."

Zhao Bin was stunned. Isn't this a shortcoming? How could it become an advantage?

Wang Ning chuckled and said, "This is Mr. Liu's brilliance."

"Apart from the new weapon appearance, the new weapons look no different from the old weapons."

"Then the question is, why does Mr. Liu specifically emphasize limited sales?"

"Is it because Mr. Liu is afraid that it won't sell after it's put on the shelves?"

"Obviously this is not the case. The number of daily active users of "Crossing the Storm" currently remains at 1, and [-]% of sales can sell [-] copies on the first day."

"In other words, Mr. Liu's sales volume has a deep meaning."

Zhao Bin was confused and didn't know why.

Wang Ning continued: "What will be sold in limited quantities?"

Zhao Bin replied subconsciously: "Of course it is a very scarce thing."

Wang Ning nodded and asked: "Then how to judge whether you are qualified to buy this sales prop?"

Zhao Bin thought for a moment and said, "In terms of consumption intensity?"

Wang Ning nodded, then shook his head again.

"Right or wrong."

"This is a game, not reality. We don't need to engage in these class contempt."

"We can set a purchase authority for new weapons, and players with high purchase authority can purchase them first."

“This scoring criterion is best based on online time, supplemented by krypton gold consumption.”

"For example, every time a player logs in from the launch of the game to the present, his authority will increase a little, and players who purchase 'krypton gold weapons' can obtain a certain number of authority points."

"Of course, we need to adjust this later based on the numerical value."

"But there is a high probability that the order of purchase should be the three levels of 'Krypton gold loyal users', 'Loyal users' and 'Krypton gold players'."

Zhao Bin was a little confused at first, but after listening, he just wanted to clap his hands and applaud.

This idea is really great.

In this way, new players will not compete with old players.

It can also indirectly increase the sales of original krypton gold weapons.

If you want a second krypton gold weapon, you either have to play longer than others, or you have to rely on krypton gold and game time to buy it.

Perfectly avoid some situations from happening.

"Brother Wang, you are really a genius, you can think of such an idea!" Zhao Bin couldn't help but exclaimed.

Wang Ning shook his head and looked in the direction of Mr. Liu's office with reverence.

"To put it bluntly, these are all Mr. Liu's tips. I'm just trying to solve the puzzle."

Zhao Bin thought about it seriously and found that this seemed to be the case.

Otherwise, why would Mr. Liu insist on emphasizing limited sales?
Sure enough, Mr. Liu is the core.

I still have a long way to go before I understand Mr. Liu’s thoughts!

……

February eighth.

Liu Wei is drinking tea in the office and watching short videos.

Chu Yun walked into the office carrying a large number of documents.

"Mr. Liu, this is the preliminary plan for the website, please take a look."

Liu Wei glanced at Chu Yun. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and the dark bags under his eyes were clearly visible, but his whole body was full of energy and he looked very confident.

Chu Yun opened the plan, took out a tablet, and began to introduce it.

"The first is the website profit model. During this period, I studied it carefully and found that all domestic models are subscription models. Our website can also adopt this model."

"Secondly, in terms of author recruitment, we can greatly increase the author's share."

"Most of Tianya Group's shares are split [-]-[-], and the shares of great authors will be higher, but that's it."

"Our share can be [-]-[-], or even [-]-[-], and we can use the high share to attract those great writers to settle in."

"The last thing is promotion. We can completely use "Cyber ​​Age" as the designated IP. Only the authors who have settled in our platform can use related IP novels, and other authors cannot."

Finally, Chu Yun looked at Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Wei nodded, with neither surprise nor joy on his face.

"Not bad, but some small places need to be modified."

"Mr. Liu, please tell me." Chu Yun expressed that he was all ears.

Liu Wei first pointed to the first item, his tone was slow but firm.

"The first is the profit model. If subscription is not possible, we will use the free channel."

Chu Yun was originally smiling.

But... after hearing Mr. Liu's first words, the expression on his face froze.

"Liu, Mr. Liu, what are you talking about?"

“But this is currently the most successful profit model that has been proven by the market.”

Liu Wei sighed quietly.

It’s just because this is the most successful way to make money that the market has proven, so he doesn’t use it. What if he can make money?

Liu Wei looked at Chu Yun's face, stared at it for a long time, then sighed, and said in a tone of hatred:
"If we want to become the leading website platform in China, we cannot follow the path of Tianya Group. We must break the rules and embark on a new path for us."

"Think about it, Tianya currently uses a subscription method. If we adopt the same profit model, why should we attract new users?"

Chu Yun was speechless for a moment.

He clearly felt that what Mr. Liu said was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It just feels weird.

But Liu Wei didn't give him much time to react, and pointed directly to the second regulation.

"Also change the share."

"Our share is fixed at [-]-[-], and there is no so-called grade lottery and great god lottery."

"But our guarantee is more generous, 3000 yuan a month!"
