Chapter 214 Foreigners also love to steal vegetables
Chapter 214 Foreigners also love to steal vegetables
Watching the traffic and users that should have belonged to him flowing into the arms of the copycat Kaixin.com every day like being cut by a blunt knife is even more painful than killing Cheng Binghao.
He was very sure that Chen Pingjiang was behind the fake Kaixin.com, but he had no evidence.
You should know that the current Kaixin.com is not the prosperous Kaixin.com of the past.
Its position has been replaced by Renren.
In terms of market share alone, there are nearly 35 million Internet users in China, and Renren accounts for almost half of them, the remaining 15% belongs to Xiaonei, and the final % belongs to Kaixin.
However, Chen Pingjiang has already set up his chariots and cannons and is ready to bombard Kaixin.com.
Cheng Binghao exchanged views with Tencent, but Pony Ma was unable to help and only suggested seeing if the issue could be resolved by spending some money.
He called Chen Pingjiang again, but Chen Pingjiang still used the same tone.
I don't know, I can't help, I don't know who did it.
Denied three times.
Now that the knife has been unsheathed, there is no way to put it back.
Yahoo is the best example in this regard.
In 98, Yahoo was already a very successful company. When faced with an algorithm developed by Google, which only cost $100 million, Yahoo rejected it. The algorithm was not practical in Yahoo's eyes at the time. After 50 o'clock, Yahoo, which had passed its peak, proposed to acquire the company again, and the price was already $ billion.
In 2006, Yahoo could have acquired Facebook for $10 billion, but due to rumors, it arbitrarily lowered the price and eventually the agreement was torn up.
In 2008, Microsoft wanted to acquire Yahoo for $400 billion, but was rejected by Yahoo internally.
By 2016, when Yahoo was sold, it was worth only $60 billion.
Besides.
Why is it that no matter what project Baidu undertakes, it never succeeds in the end?
Why can Huawei succeed in whatever it does?
All these made Chen Pingjiang start to think deeply.
Some things really cannot go smoothly just by turning on cheats and opening up a full map. You can be one step ahead of your competitors, but the ultimate development still depends on the company itself.
…………
In July, third-party games embedded in Facebook, “Virtual Farm” and “Parking Wars”, were launched simultaneously.
After going online, the two games received amazing user feedback.
At present, Zynga is still a standout, occupying the top six of the top ten list of Facebook social games.
分别是德州扑克、咖啡世界、黑手党枪战、边境小城、宠物小镇以及珍宝岛,其中德州扑克、咖啡世界、黑手党枪战、边境小城四款游戏实现了月活跃用户超过1000万的增长,分别增长1180万、1380万、1277万和1051万。
But they soon stopped laughing.
Just one month.
Two games from Alpha, Renren's North American game studio, took the first and second positions on the list, squeezing out Texas Hold'em and Coffee World.
For a time, people all over the world were "stealing vegetables", and the craze was no less severe than that in China.
"Yes, our idea at the time was very simple. Since Stealing Vegetables was so popular in China and so many people loved it, why not try it overseas? Then in May, we established an independent game studio Alpha in North America and modified the domestic version of Farm for All and uploaded it to Facebook."
"The game called FarmVille in foreign countries is called FarmVille. We were a little worried at the time, thinking that foreigners might not like to grow and steal vegetables. Later, it turned out that our worries were unnecessary. When our colleagues in North America woke up the next day, the number of active players in the game had reached 1.8, and by the end of the day, it had grown to 4. What's even more terrifying is that in just five days, the game attracted 150 million players. Although this is not the first farm simulation game in the foreign game market, this summer, we have obviously reached a wider audience than many other games."
"China has always been flooded with foreign games. This experience also shows that Chinese people can also make a game that is loved by the world. The overseas expansion of games is the top priority of our next work."
When Chen Pingjiang was interviewed by CCTV's "Economic Half Hour", he spoke freely in front of the camera.
This is the first time that the keyword "game going overseas" has been mentioned in China.
Immediately, domestic media of all sizes rushed to report this grand event.
Although the domestic economy has made great progress in 2008, national self-confidence is still not strong. A lot of public intellectuals in society are always talking about how good foreign countries are and how high the welfare is.
The air in foreign countries is always sweet.
Here we have to mention the four famous classics: "Reader", "Yi Lin", "Zhi Yin" and "Youth Digest".
In their writings, they describe how awesome the German sewers are and how awesome the Japanese craftsmanship is.
It turned out that one was fake and the other was a forgery.
The emotions of the people across the country need an outlet.
The sudden popularity of "stealing vegetables" abroad just happened to be a good outlet for this.
"Damn it, those big domestic game companies only know how to import foreign games all day long, and only know how to make money from the games they make. Look at Chen Pingjiang, he makes money abroad."
"Tencent, Shanda, and The9 left the group chat cursing."
“Domestic game companies: It’s more painful to see him making money than me losing money.”
"Mr. Chen is awesome, the pride of the Chinese people. Those former haters should come out and fight. Didn't you say that even dogs don't play rubbish games? So in your eyes, everyone in the world is a dog?"
"Just for this reason, I will be a fan of Chen and Renren for my whole life."
"My husband is so awesome!"
“……”Domestic netizens collectively reached a climax.
All major SNS, BBS, and forums are filled with discussions on this matter.
Wherever there is heated discussion, the media is indispensable.
Within a few days, a large number of media began to reprint foreign players' rave reviews of "FarmVirtual" from the foreign Internet.
It’s a very simple idea, and the effect is very good.
I love watching this in China!
A group of people couldn't eat after reading the positive reviews for "FarmVirtual" given by foreign netizens.
"I set the alarm every day to harvest the crops..."
"That's nothing mate, I saw someone bring a laptop into the bar yesterday so they could pick the strawberries in time."
“CNN Comment: Why is the seemingly uninteresting game FarmVille so popular?”
"From Ireland with love - this game is so good I even missed a date with my girlfriend just to get it."
"..."
All of this reached its climax when a certain official media outlet specifically praised the company.
“What makes domestic games popular overseas?”
"FarmVirtual topped the Facebook social game rankings within one month of its overseas launch, and the number of online players worldwide has exceeded 10 million, which shows that domestic games have been recognized and loved by more and more overseas users."
"Behind the cultural appeal of games is the continuous innovation of R&D. Chinese game manufacturers should not only conduct in-depth research on overseas markets and timely understand changes in the preferences of target groups, but also be prepared to establish a global presence from the beginning of product development, accumulate loyal users with stable product quality, and embark on the journey of upgrading from a single hit to a global IP."
Chen Pingjiang felt a little confused by the netizens' carnival and the media's praise. He might have thought that this matter might have some impact on the domestic Internet, but he really didn't expect the impact to be so great.
I saw Chen Pingjiang quietly doing another big thing.
The University of Finance and Economics and the Dongjiang Municipal Government are becoming increasingly restless.
The University of Finance and Economics directly included Chen Pingjiang in the list of outstanding alumni of Dongjiang University of Finance and Economics and included it in the school history.
Such outrageous operations made other universities call it shameless. How could people become alumni when they haven't even graduated yet?
Unexpectedly, Caida responded directly: "If you want to be jealous, just say it!"
Dongjiang came over and took the initiative to approve 100 acres of land, intending to tie Chen Pingjiang and Renren down.
…………
Chen Pingjiang is ruthless in harvesting "leeks" from abroad.
The domestic "Renren Farm" only dares to recruit members and sell fertilizers, and there are almost no other charging points.
However, there are many paid items in foreign "Virtual Farm".
First, Alpha Studio sold virtual currency directly to players, and then added more and more props and gameplay that players could purchase with virtual currency. Of course, paid items were added little by little over time.
It costs money to buy special seeds, it costs money to buy beautiful scenes, and it costs money to buy excavators and bulldozers.
Of course, players can slowly accumulate gold coins to purchase items, but spending money can make you stronger faster.
Some people are just impatient.
Well, then just spend the money honestly.
Still US dollars.
This made Chen Pingjiang sigh that it was so easy to make money from foreigners.
In China, a bag of fertilizer has to be sold for one dollar, for fear that players will be disgusted. But overseas, Chen Pingjiang dares to charge 0.5 US dollars, and even after giving Facebook 30%, there is still 0.35 US dollars left.
According to Facebook's backend data, in the first month alone, the revenue of "FarmVirtual" was 200 million US dollars, which means that after deducting the marketing and promotion expenses, Chen Pingjiang can get at least 100 million US dollars.
Don’t forget that this is only the first month, and eventually the daily active users of this game will increase tenfold. If the revenue also increases tenfold, the monthly revenue will exceed 10 million US dollars.
A few days later, good news came from North America. Riot's "League of Legends" started the A test and the response was good.
Chen Pingjiang asked Tian Hongrui to take over this project and set up a new company to represent "League of Legends" and introduce it into the country.
Tian Hongrui attaches great importance to this project.
The main reason is that Chen Pingjiang's extremely accurate vision has been verified time and time again, and everything he sets his eyes on will become popular.
Haven’t you seen the recent “Virtual Farm” report that has been making a lot of noise in China?
This will instead bring pressure to Tian Hongrui.
If it doesn't work, who will be responsible for it?
The whole company will definitely blame him!
They would only think that he was not capable enough, but would never doubt Chen Pingjiang's vision.
Having successively snatched DNF and League of Legends from Tencent, Chen Pingjiang's online game company already has the ability to compete with Tencent, especially if we add a few social games from home and abroad.
Chen Pingjiang's game empire is not inferior to that of other game companies, and is even secretly leading the way.
