Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 144 Catching a big fish

When it comes to game development, Wu Yang is professional.

The development cost of one billion US dollars was the product of Luo Hui's bragging, and the actual investment was one billion soft sister coins.

Most of the funds were spent on acquiring domestic game manufacturers, large and small, to rapidly expand the game R&D team.

The funds implemented in the project are less than [-] million.

Most of the money was also spent on the art. In order to pursue high-level image quality, more than [-] million yuan was spent.

Now it's time to harvest.

Wu Yang has a different opinion and disagrees with promoting the game immediately: "Mr. Luo, we should first open up the WeChat market in the Middle East and obtain a mobile payment license, and then we can successfully promote the game."

Ok?
Luo Hui didn't quite understand the twists and turns, so he gestured for the other party to explain it clearly.

"No one has developed the Middle East game market before us."

Wu Yang hurriedly put his laptop on the table and introduced the prepared information in detail: "Big game industry countries such as Bangzi and Xiaori have long been eyeing the Middle East online game market with super strong spending power."

"The most successful one is Sony."

"They don't make online games, they only make console games, so they make a lot of money in this market and make everyone greedy."

"However, among the game companies that are all trying to develop the Middle East market, only console games have made money."

"Basically no online game manufacturer has made a profit and has to exit sadly."

Go on!
In my previous life, I heard that domestic game manufacturers were going crazy in the Middle East, but I didn’t know how to do it in detail.

Luo Hui raised his hand slightly, signaling Wu Yang to continue speaking.

"I checked the reason."

Wu Yang calmly flipped through his materials to help explain: "The main reason why online game companies have failed to retreat from the Middle East market is not because their products are not good enough."

"It's not that the rich are not interested in games with strong Western culture."

“The key is payment method.”

"This market is special."

"Only the head of each family holds credit cards, debit cards and other bank cards. Everyone else uses cash for payment and consumption."

"Online game companies that entered the Middle East market before us almost all relied on online banking payment to solve the recharge problem."

"The defeat is here."

“Family members other than the head of the household do not have bank cards, so they cannot pay using online banking payment methods.”

"Therefore, the huge number of online game downloads cannot be transformed into online game players with sufficient spending power."

"WeChat can help us solve the game recharge problem."

"As long as WeChat and mobile payment functions are promoted first, family members who do not have bank cards can also use WeChat to recharge games."

real or fake?

Listening to Wu Yang's explanation, Luo Hui felt very incredible.

I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable: "Haven't other online game companies considered selling physical point cards?"

Game point cards.

This stuff is all too familiar to domestic online game players.

At this time, it was not the era when WeChat and Alipay were rampant all over the world.

The vast majority of domestic online game players can only choose physical point cards or online banking payment methods to recharge point cards.

did not expect.

This thing actually hasn't spread abroad.

Simply incredible.

Is Waiguoren’s head all mush?
Not all gamers will choose online banking to recharge games!

Wouldn’t it be nice to sell physical point cards directly with cash?
"Uh...someone tried it!"

Wu Yang also had a toothache and explained with a grin: "However, physical point cards are printed products and are strictly controlled products in the Middle East market, so it is difficult to pass the review."

"Brother Fengyun, have you ever investigated why it is difficult to get a printing license for their point cards? I guess the main reason is that the pictures and content printed on them are too Western-oriented, so they can't get a license. Our games are different. The content is all based on Middle Eastern culture, so there is no such obstacle.”

The content of printed matter is controlled by all countries.

Especially in the Middle Eastern market, which is known for its conservativeness, he was not surprised at all because prints containing Western cultural elements were not allowed.

but.

For online games based on Middle Eastern culture, we don’t have to worry about these obstacles when printing game point cards.

Who would dislike printed matter that promotes their own culture?
It’s only right to give strong support!
"Sorry, Mr. Luo, I forgot that cultural differences are the main reason why it is difficult to promote Dianka in the Middle East market."

Wu Yang suddenly realized and apologized hastily.

"Then the plan remains unchanged and we start promoting the game immediately without waiting for the promotion of WeChat and mobile payment."

Luo Hui made the final decision.

Mature gameplay, mature profit model, and mature development team.

There is no reason to delay any longer.

That’s the Middle East online game market!

If you delay for one second, you will earn millions of dollars less!

and.

Even with the National Investment Authority as a guide, the promotion of WeChat mobile payment may not go smoothly, and the promotion coverage may not be completed within two or three years.

It's better to just sell some cards honestly.

At worst, hire more third brothers who work in the Middle East to provide door-to-door point card delivery services for wealthy players.

"Okay, I'll take the team to the front station first, and then help you make an appointment with Mr. Ben Saini after finishing all the miscellaneous things."

Wu Yang took the initiative to take the lead.

After all, no one in the core management team is more familiar with how to build an excellent game operations team than him.

"I wish you good luck. Maybe it won't be so troublesome. We have a king on the board of directors of our game company - Ben Sedeng. He will take care of the key procedures."

Luo Hui didn't forget it.

There is also a great god in the game company.

Although Ben Saideng is more often a lookalike who comes to check in and receive national welfare, he is actually a real prince.Dad is also a super boss with hundreds of billions of sovereign wealth.

Isn't it easy to come forward and complete the key procedures?
After quickly finalizing the launch of the game, Luo Hui could only stay in Lijiapo for the time being - presiding over the first half of the second round of financing.

Well, it’s the first half.

Mainly for selected international consortiums.

In addition to private consortiums with excessive amounts, there are also a large number of heads of sovereign funds from various countries who are interested in WeChat.

The second half is at home.

Mainly targeted at provincial-level State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

According to Luo Hui’s plan, after completing the second round of financing, he should face direct competition from Fat Penguin.

This is also when money is really burned.

Prepare enough ammunition first.

then.

Rarely, he got a beach vacation.

No need to write code.

No need to worry about calculating how to avoid the fat penguin's sudden attacks.

There is no need to rack your brains to design PPTs that fool investors into spending money.

Only responsible for one thing - have fun!

Idle is idle.

Luo Hui wears large flower pants every day to drive a yacht, go fishing, and look at his long legs. At the same time, he also does not forget to send benefits to his fans.

"When chartering a yacht for the first time, what should you pay attention to?" 》

"Wow, you see those long legs. If I try to strike up a conversation, will I be beaten to death?" 》

"How many ways to make devil fish?" 》

"..."

The comment area fell into a whimper:
"Mr. Luo, it's dirty!"

"It's so inhumane. Even if you make so much money, you still want to take photos to please us?"

"Boss, are you still missing some pendants on your legs? Please support me."

"It's great to be the boss. You are only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and you have a large number of social animals to help make money."

"Same world, same dream, why is there such a big gap between me and Mr. Luo?"

"..."

Although Xiao Ma is not a fan of Luo Hui, he checks his personal account several times every day to see what has been updated.

however.

The content updated in the past few days has very different styles, which makes Xiao Ma a little bit intolerable.

After seeing the photos of long legs that filled the screen again, he handed over the task of following Luo Hui's personal account to his secretary: "This kid is drifting. He doesn't want to make progress. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I'll keep track of his account from now on."

"Ok!"

The secretary took the order politely.

"Why do I think this is another trap?" Zhang Long expressed his different opinions to his boss.

After all, he had been tricked by Luo Hui for two months under the guise of merger and acquisition.

I still have lingering fears.

I always feel that there might be something fishy behind the sudden change in Luo Hui's painting style.

"what?"

Brother Ma was also stunned for a moment: "You mean, this kid suddenly showed off his yacht and long legs to make us relax our vigilance?"

"It's very possible. After all, he wasted two months of our time with the merger and acquisition gimmick. If not, we wouldn't be so passive."

Zhang Long nodded undoubtedly.

"Then you mean, WeChat will have a bigger move next?"

"there must be!"

"To be more specific, what tricks does the high school student have that he hasn't come up with? Exploring the international market is already a very big gimmick. Is there any bigger publicity gimmick than this?"

"Mr. Ma, apart from updating the Pandaren emoticon pack, WeChat has done nothing since it went online. I suspect they will launch new features soon."

"What function will it be?"

"How do I know? This kid never plays his cards according to common sense."

"Could it be the video function you mentioned?"

"Probably."

"Big killer move! When will our Fetion and QQ add short video functions?"

"Mr. Ma, we have completed the development of the short video function a long time ago, but...how to set up the content is still a big problem, so I didn't rush it online."

“When you contacted people at WeChat, didn’t they mention what group of people the short video function is mainly targeting?”

"No, we mainly communicate about technical issues."

"No matter, let's add the short video function first, and the content... will be mainly news."

"Okay, I invite all major domestic mainstream media and online media to join us."

"Well, this time we're going to be the first."

"It's going to cost a lot of money."

"It doesn't matter, you can introduce advertising."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements and launch a version update tomorrow to add the short video function."

The news that Fetion and QQ have simultaneously added short video functions spread quickly.

The updated version was officially announced in the morning, and two hours later Fu Tao came to report to Luo Hui: "Mr. Luo, QQ and Fetion have also announced the addition of short video functions, and have sent invitations to major mainstream media and Internet media."

Got it?
Hearing the news, Luo Hui couldn't help but smile: a move he made a long time ago actually caught a big fish!
