I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man.

Chapter 137 I see you don’t want to make progress at all!

What Ke Jin has to do is simple.

Spend these more than 4500 million yuan.

First, he tried to increase benefits for employees.

Announce in public that the level of afternoon tea has been upgraded to another level!
Everyone immediately cheered.

As a result, when I went to settle the bill with Brother Tongzi, I found that the monthly expenses of tens of thousands of dollars could not be covered.

It shows that spending money on things that have nothing to do with the game is useless.

Even spending money on the people who make the games won't help.

Then, Ke Jin began to think about optimizing "Eternal Tribulation".

I found Cheng Bage from the programming department.

Ke Jin: "Can Yongjie be further optimized?"

Cheng Bage: "That's awesome! The most common feedback we have received recently from players is that when there are many people fighting, the frame drops. Later, it developed into a humanoid perspective plug-in. When you are in a hurry, as long as the frame starts to drop, It means there is someone nearby. I think we can..."

Ke Jin: "Okay, I will arrange 3000 million for you, and the optimization will be completed within 5 days."

Cheng Bage: "Take... take the young man?"

Ke Jin: "Too little? Then 4000 million."

Cheng Bage: "No... Mr. Ke, this optimization doesn't cost much. Just lock the maximum frame rate. Everyone is almost fixed within a frame rate range, and allows overclocking when there are many people. Let's redo it." This system, and then do some other optimizations, about... 200 million?"

Ke Jin waved his hand depressedly, allocated money and let Cheng Bage go.

I was also cursing in my heart.

Grandma's.

It's so cheap. In the previous life, "Eternal Tribulation" refused to optimize and dropped the frame when encountering people?

Is it difficult to lock a fixed frame rate for everyone?

Or is this guy from the pig farm selling hardware equipment behind his back?

However, the things in the past life are far away from the current life. It is meaningless to dwell on those things. What makes Ke Jin even more worried is the present.

If the current optimization can be completed with 200 million, what should we do with the remaining 4300 million.

Ke Jin felt that given his past bad luck.

Unless the flow drops below 2000 million on the last day, he won't be able to sleep peacefully.

"It seems that money spent on optimization can actually reduce the flow rate."

"It just doesn't cost much."

After taking a look at the more than 4300 million turnover left in the background, Ke Jin began to think of a new strategy.

Give free peripherals to players?
This money can be spent, but it is a bit too slow.

Although a set of game peripherals is really expensive to buy, the production cost is actually not high.

A cotton pillow, including materials and labor, is of relatively good quality and may only cost 10 yuan.

But I really dare to sell it for one or two hundred.

Premiums of ten to twenty times are common.

Otherwise, the classic saying "It's so easy to make money as a dead house" would be spread.

Furthermore, Brother Tongzi will definitely deduct the corresponding overhead according to the production price.

After all, there is no selling price for things given away for free.

All 4000 million yuan was spent on peripherals. According to the classic three items, pillows + mugs + refrigerator magnets, the total cost of a set of these gadgets may not exceed 10 yuan.

400 million sets...

Including those who abandoned the trap, Yongjie Wujiang only has 300 million monthly income now... He can't even give it away.

"Then how about making it a virtual gift package for the game?" Ke Jin thought for a while and then immediately shook his head.

Or not.

Virtual gift packages are valuable in the hands of players, but worthless in the hands of manufacturers.

It's just a string of code data. You can send as much as you want.

At best, it can only inhibit the growth of subsequent sales, but it will not have the effect of consuming current sales.

Besides, even if Brother Tongzi says with a heartbeat and gritted teeth, just go ahead and rush, I will shoulder the responsibility of System Nebula for you and calculate the running water deduction for you according to the original price of the gift package!
But Kejin also has an appointment with Wangxun.

Although the decision-making power rests with the number one player, it is clearly written in the agreement that all prerequisites cannot damage the interests of both parties.

Giving out so many virtual gift packages rashly will seriously damage the benefits of "Eternal Tribulation" itself.

When a set of supreme skins can be given away for free, its actual virtual value will instantly return to zero.

The reason is very simple. When players think about it, you have given away the supreme skin before, so what else should I buy?I'll just wait and see if you can deliver it next time.

And the Krypton guy who has spent real money to buy it will form a strong backlash shock wave.

When the time comes, don’t say that Netcom will not be held accountable.

This kind of move that seriously damages the environment of the game industry will be a huge blow to all colleagues in the industry.

After all, the number one player now is no longer the small-time player he was two years ago.

Even if 1 yuan of krypton hit the mall two years ago, the impact on the industry environment would not be limited, at least it would be a toothpick stirring up the big pot.

Now if you do this again, the impact will be huge.

"This won't work, that won't work either, hiss..." Ke Jin scratched his head.

Good brain, I'm going to get an itch!

His eyes fell on the computer screen in front of him, his eyes engrossed in thinking of countermeasures.

But soon, Ke Jin saw a piece of news in the hot search.

It is a real-time hot topic about the national football team’s loss to a foreign middle school in a friendly match.

This isn’t really news at all.

No matter what age it is, Ke Jin has no troubles in his heart anyway.

But this hot search inspired Kejin.

Contest!

"Hey! How could you forget this?"

Since there has never been an official game league on Blue Star, some Kryptonian competitions have been held spontaneously by the private sector.

In addition, not long after "Hollow" was released last year, there was a nationwide competition.

There was no other movement.

The reason why it cannot develop is mainly because the mechanisms of major games are not balanced.

For manufacturers, if they modify the game balance for the sake of competition, how can they sell powerful cards?

Ke Jin was immersed in this blue star environment and atmosphere, and over time he almost forgot about this incident.

"This thing is a money-burning weapon!" Ke Jin's eyes suddenly brightened and he quickly began to make calculations.

First of all, if you want to hold it, hold an offline competition.

Because offline competitions can rent venues, this is a huge expense.

Secondly, bonuses will also be distributed in offline competitions.

Then, it’s not too much to reimburse the contestants for round-trip transportation and food expenses, etc., right?
The players who came to visit the site came to support us.

You see, the weather is so cold. It’s not too much to give out a hot drink and some desserts to each person, right?
In order for the staff to maintain the normal operation of the arena, is it not too much to increase their salary and give them bonuses?

These are scattered and miscellaneous.

At least more than 1000 million in expenses can be crossed out!
Thinking of this, Kejin immediately summoned the company's senior management and held a brief meeting.

He briefly talked about his decision to start a competition.

As soon as he finished speaking, he received support from senior executives.

"Good! I agree!"

"I actually wanted to ask the CEO to start a competition before for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but considering that there was no precedent before and I was afraid of screwing up, I didn't dare to say more."

"Judging from the folk racing competition of "Hollow", appropriate competitions can expand the reputation of the game and stimulate players' enthusiasm for the game. I support it!"

"But isn't the bonus a bit too high... With a capital investment of 1000 million, I'm afraid the winner will receive 100 million..." Gou Chehua finally finished and said hesitantly.

In fact, in Ke Jin's view.

The championship reward of one million yuan is already considered rare and common on the earth.

There have been too many competitions in the past, and the championship prizes have exceeded one million yuan.

The prize pools of CS and DOTA are even more heavyweight. The average prize pool for each session is in the tens of millions, and the unit of measurement is still meters.

100 million RMB reward?

What about sending beggars?

But Blue Star people have never seen such a big scene. You can get a million bonus just by winning the championship in a game?
How fresh!

Never heard of it!

Because of this, when Ke Jin said the million-dollar championship reward.

The senior executives still looked at each other in awe.

Good guy, winning the championship in a game is more than what we earn after working hard for a year...

Does this...

Ke Jin paid attention to everyone's eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

My mind is also running rapidly.

Ke Jin is not satisfied with the total prize pool of 1000 million.

Too little.

But with a total prize pool of 1000 million, the response from our own employees was huge.

After all, Kejin is not a brutal dictator. As the company grows larger, there will be more and more places where these senior employees are needed.

They are all veteran figures who initially followed the number one player to conquer the world.

Sometimes, even as the person with the highest say, Ke Jin has to take into account the emotions of these senior executives.

I thought about it for a moment.

Ke Jin raised his head and said.

"Then let's say 2000 million, 2000 million tournament funds."

"Ah?" Under the surprised looks of senior executives, Ke Jin explained: "I thought about it for a moment. After all, "Eternal Calamity" was first released in South Korea. The game does not respect national boundaries and only holds competitions in the mainland. It may be It has caused dissatisfaction among Korean players. Sooner or later, our number one player will go international and face the world, and the pattern will need to be enlarged."

"So, I plan to directly expand the scale of this competition into a China-Korea exchange competition, and also invite Korean players to come to China to participate." "Since we are going abroad, the rewards cannot be petty, so as not to be seen by foreigners. I thought we couldn’t afford the bonus.”

"In addition to venue, equipment, and reimbursement of players' travel expenses, food expenses, etc., we also need to hire commentators ourselves, contact live broadcast platforms for real-time live broadcast of the event, and promote the game, which may cost around several million. .”

"If the investment is only 1000 million, and the remaining two to three million are divided into single-row bonuses and three-row bonuses, there may not be much left in the hands of the players."

"So, 2000 million."

After some analysis.

The surprise on everyone's faces disappeared instantly.

Instead, there are pairs of bright eyes.

"Woc, Mr. Ke is so tall!"

"This pattern... I was just wondering if 2000 million was too much. It turns out that even Korean players are included. That really shouldn't be too shabby."

"Furthermore, once topics such as the confrontation between China and South Korea are brought up, the domestic attention will definitely not be too low. When the bonus is less, it will make us look a bit stingy."

"Reasonable!"

"Precisely because there has never been an official competition of this scale before, and it is even an official competition held across countries, so if you want to do it, you must set an example! Mr. Ke has really broadened his horizons!"

"We are too petty. Once this competition is successfully held, it will definitely benefit the subsequent operation of "Eternal Tribulation"."

"This family will eventually break up!"

It doesn't matter if a group of people make rainbow farts, or even if they are sincere.

Anyway, the goal of engraving Jin was achieved.

At least my reason can convince everyone, instead of looking like a slap on the forehead.

This is enough.

In this way, the investment of 2000 million yuan for the event was finalized.

Moreover, several senior executives have division of labor.

After Ke Jin asked Gou Chehua to go back, he would organize a special team from the company.

Liu Xi, head of the finance department, is responsible for planning the allocation of 2000 million yuan in funds.

Wang Shun from the Operations Department is responsible for the warm-up and publicity of the event and requires the shortest possible time to build up the popularity.

Yu Fuqi from the Planning Department and Cheng Bage from the Programming Department began to arrange the balance of the competition version.

In the art department, Yubao took the time to make some promotional pictures for the event.

The public relations department contacted Netcom and asked them to open the domestic "Eternal Tribulation" port.

After all, since the game is about to be played, it is naturally unjustifiable if the game is not online locally.

Everything is arranged properly.

Live!

after the meeting.

Ke Jin looked at his backend interface and saw that there was only less than 2300 million in turnover left in an instant, and he smiled happily.

This last-ditch buff is really useful.

With less than 5 days left, the turnover will increase by 2700 million, which is almost unrealistic.

But don’t forget, Kejin has another layer of protection!
The turnover in the system interface settlement is only the income of the top player.

They won’t calculate how much money NetEx made.

In other words, if his backend wants to achieve a turnover of 5000 million, "Eternal Tribulation" needs to have a turnover of at least [-] million in the first month of release.

I spent 2000 million unilaterally, but I want to earn back the 2000 million.

It is necessary to increase the overall turnover of "Eternal Tribulation" by another 4000 million!
what does this mean?
"Eternal Tribulation" needs to reach 1.5 million sales in the first month after it is released!

This is not unusual in China.

But the first 25 days before it was put on the shelves were in sparsely populated South Korea.

The domestic seal was released in the last five days.

In 5 days, domestic players can still give me half a billion krypton?

impossible!

Why do you have this confidence?

Ready Player One has been around for almost two years.

There has never been any game that can achieve this level of revenue.

Even the hit "Jedi" only sold [-] million in its most popular month.

After calculation, it will take at least eight or nine days to sell for 5000 million.

But what happened that time?
The craze caused by the nationwide live broadcast has been fermenting for more than half a month, and even the beautiful girl's feet are sour!
What's more, this time, Eternal Calamity is still a free game.

To be on the safe side, Kejin didn't even dare to add a pass to the game.

I only made some treasure chests, and the price per draw was kept above the 5 yuan per draw, which is equivalent to Arknights.

Anyway, Netcom has no pricing power on this, and the top player has the final say.

How does this turn?
Players don’t have this strength!You know it!

Ke Jin is not telling lies with his eyes open.

If it continues to develop according to the current trend, then players will indeed not be able to show this strength for the time being.

Because the player base of "Eternal Tribulation" is still too small at this stage.

Even if the official domestic port is opened, there will still be a considerable number of players who will not immediately know that "Eternal Calamity" can be played in China.

The dissemination of information takes time.

Not to mention event promotion, it would be even slower.

It will take ten days and a half before most people in the gaming circle actually know about it.

However, Ke Jin forgot another thing.

……

At the same time, Netcom Game Headquarters.

When Jia Kuiqian heard the news from the PR department of Ready Player One, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair.

Ready Player One is authorized!
Wangxun can put "Eternal Calamity" on domestic shelves!

He has waited for this moment for too long!
Recently, the market value of Netcom Games has been declining, and the daily activity and revenue of many of its games have also fluctuated.

The top management put pressure on him several times, asking him to quickly bring "Eternal Calamity" back to China, and it quickly gained a wave of reputation.

But the right to speak lies with the top player.

Especially since this company's ability to make one popular game is here, Jia Kuiqian has been afraid to make any move.

For the past month, we have been honest, and we will hit wherever Mr. Ke points out!

Highlight a well-behaved.

There is no way to disobey, the IP of "Eternal Tribulation" is in someone's hands.

It makes people anxious, and they say they won’t cooperate if they don’t cooperate with us.

After paying a liquidated damages and running away, "Eternal Tribulation" has completely lost its relationship with its own website...

Nowadays, everything is going smoothly!
Mr. Ke is also a sensible person. Once the test goes well in Korea and there is no trace of ink, he will immediately announce that it will be put on the shelves in China!
Wangxun game can finally celebrate the New Year!
Domestic server Jia Kuiqian has already made preparations.

After giving the order, all departments under his command quickly started practicing.

The turbulent start has made preparations for the release of "Eternal Calamity" in China.

And when he learned another thing about the master plan, Jia Kuiqian's eyes brightened even more.

Official event?

What the hell!

This plan is perfect! !
In the past, because the game was not balanced enough, major manufacturers actually defaulted to not holding competitions. If they did, they would only be scolded even worse.

Even Jia Kuiqian never thought that "Eternal Calamity" could actually hold a competition.

When I heard about this plan now, it almost woke me up from my dream!

"Xiao Zhao, go talk to the public relations department of Ready Player One and let them run the game with confidence. Network News is Ready Player One's strongest backing!"

"In addition, Xiao Wang, the 2.9 million publicity funds that the Propaganda Department has reserved for a long time can be used."

The director of the Publicity and Development Department was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Mr. Jia, don't you need to talk to Mr. Ke again..."

He was immediately scolded by Jia Kuiqian.

"How old are you? Do you know what it means to be obedient and argue?"

"If you were Mr. Ke, would you have the nerve to come to our door and wildly suggest that we can start vigorously promoting the distribution? After all, the money for the announcement is not made by their number one player, but their number one player can share half of the money earned. , so I’m somewhat embarrassed, understand?”

"Having the public relations department come over and say something is already a nod to us, telling us that we can start taking action."

"Hiss!" The director of the publicity department suddenly realized.

Jia Kuiqian said again.

"Furthermore, the president has discussed with me before that South Korea's propaganda is small-scale, and the focus of propaganda is to stay at home. He has already stated his position once, and now he repeats it, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? After all, we are all big companies, so there is no reason to chase after others and beg others to spend money."

"Absolute!...Mr. Jia, I suddenly became enlightened after you made this suggestion!" The supervisor scratched his head.

Jia Kuiqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then snorted coldly.

"There are more games in the workplace than in games. Xiao Wang, I see that you don't want to make progress at all."

The so-called flattery has climbed all the way to the right place.

He expressed regret and went straight to the provincial party committee.

We have reached this level, why don’t you carefully try to figure out other people’s psychology?
Do you really think that people only play games all day long and don’t think about anything else?

There are too many little ones in my heart!
No wonder we are the same age, I am the general manager, and you are just a small supervisor.

"Mr. Jia, I want to make progress so much!" Upon hearing this, Manager Wang straightened his body and said nervously: "Please help me make progress!"

"What a waste of progress." Jia Kuiqian laughed angrily at this silly boy and waved his hand: "Okay, go and do your job well. Whether I can promote you in the future will depend on how you do this time. ."

"Yes!!" Manager Wang responded seriously and loudly, then trotted out the door, not forgetting to close the office door.

Jia Kuiqian also breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back and lay comfortably on the boss's chair, sighing softly.

"Happy, happy."

The cold winter of NetNews has finally passed. Now the pain is over and the flowers are blooming. All that's left is to announce the news and we're done!

Then let the players from China take a look.

What is Xuanfa that surrounds the world!

The Kirby Wii I bought has arrived!
Hee hee, let’s go play Kirby first and update later tonight!
(End of this chapter)
