Winning the new financial era

Chapter 349
"PUBG Mobile" is on fire!
In just 24 hours after being launched on the Steam platform, 15 copies were sold, and the sales in three days exceeded 1200 million US dollars.

Attracted more than 4000 anchors on the Twitch platform to broadcast live, and many anchors have also appeared on major live broadcast platforms in China to try it out.

According to the data given by steamspy, so far, the number of buyers in China ranks third, accounting for 7% of the total number of players.

In terms of the number of game participants, there are no less than 8 daily online players, second only to Dota and CSGO, and firmly ranked in the top three on the Steam platform.

After Zhang Yida received the news, he flew to Seoul immediately.

The reason why it took so long to go online is because more research and development funds and time have been invested than in the previous life.

This was specifically requested by Zhang Yida.

In his previous life, Blue Hole never thought that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds would become popular, so he didn't put his heart into making this game at all.

Problems such as the proliferation of plug-ins and server freezes, the popularity has grown for a period of time, and then quickly declined.

This has to make people regret that a big hole has been smashed into a good cornucopia.

Zhang Yida believes that under his own strict standards, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in this life will definitely go further than the previous life.

Gangnam District, Seoul.

A group of employees wearing blue hole cultural shirts are standing at the door, waiting for the arrival of the big boss.

Surrounded by four bodyguards behind him, as well as assistant Song Caiwei and others, Zhang Yida came out of the elevator.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a large group of people greeted me at the door of the company, wearing uniform company cultural shirts, and holding various signs such as "Congratulations" and "Congratulations".

Jin Changhan, the current CEO of Bluehole and the former founder and chairman of Bluehole, greeted him and said with a happy face: "President, we have developed an amazing game this time!

It has only been on the market for a few days now, and it has such good results.If we can continue this trend in the future, we can definitely reach the top of the Steam platform list. "

Zhang Yida patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have also worked hard. If you can achieve better results in the future, I will reward the management team with a huge prize."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yida turned his head to look at the other employees, "Everyone has worked hard too! When the grades are completely stabilized, we will reward them for their merits at that time!"

"Oh, thank you, President!"

"Long live the president!"

"Thanks to the company! Thanks to the chairman!"

A group of Korean programmers cheered there as if they had been pumped.

There was a gloomy look in Jin Changhan's eyes. Originally, this honor and cheer belonged to him.

But I sold the blue hole short-sightedly, and the price was only [-] million U.S. dollars. I really regretted it.

It is not only myself who regret it, but also the group of short-sighted venture capitalists!

Zhang Yida walked to the corner of the company hall and saw the chief game designer Brendan Greene yawning there!
Zhang Yida didn't blame him for being rude and didn't come to greet him. The hierarchical corporate culture of Japanese and Korean companies is different from the European and American corporate cultures that advocate freedom.

Japanese and Korean company employees are all like social animals. They nod and bow when they meet the section chief and president.

Europe and the United States are different, especially in game companies, subordinates often call their superiors by their names.

"Oh, Boss, you are here! Congratulations, you have a successful game!"

Zhang Yida smiled, "Congratulations too! You will become a world-renowned game development master from now on!"

"Master of Game Development! I love that title!"

Zhang Yida said again: "Dude, we have just taken the first step to success, we must not relax!
We must pay more attention to the server freezes and plug-ins!

While making money, we must provide players with an enjoyable gaming experience! "

"For your last sentence, you deserve to make money!" Greene joked humorously.

Zhang Yida and Greene walked side by side towards the interior of the company, followed by a large group of employees.

Zhang Yida turned to look at the staff behind him, and said loudly, "Let's get off work early today! Tonight, ANSWER CLUB, the most luxurious bar in Seoul, will hold a celebration banquet for everyone!
Remember, dress handsomely, I heard that there are many beauties there, and there are Korean entertainers there! "

A group of social animals cheered again. They have all heard the name of ANSWER CLUB, but they are reluctant to pay for it!

It's all right now, the big boss from China will pay for all the consumption tonight!

Zhang Yida called Greene, company CEO Jin Changhan, and other executives to the meeting room.

"When is the mobile game going to be launched?" Zhang Yida asked about the mobile game as soon as he sat down.

"In fact, it has been developed simultaneously with the end game, but I suggest waiting."

Jin Changhan explained, "At present, the growth momentum of our client games is very rapid. I think we should wait until the client games are firmly at the top of the list and have a solid reputation before launching mobile games.

In this way, some users who are tired of playing terminal games can also switch to mobile games.

Now our promotion focus is still on the end game, as long as the end game is famous enough, we can save a lot of effort when promoting mobile games. "

"Okay, let's do that!"

Jin Changhan changed his expression, and said: "I heard that the chairman's business in China includes several live broadcast platforms and short video platforms?

China is a huge game market. If the chairman can mobilize his resources to help promote PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, we will definitely achieve better results. "

"No problem, I will arrange for people from Douyu, Bilibili, and Douyin to come and discuss cooperation with you.

In addition, I also have a short video platform called Musical.ly in North America and Europe, which can also help promote PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds..."

After negotiating that his subsidiary company would help PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to promote it, Zhang Yida said, "Should we organize an e-sports club? In addition, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Global E-sports Challenge can also be organized."

"Hey, that's a good idea! League of Legends has global competitive events, and we should too."

Greene, who was not very talkative, spoke up, and he very much agreed with Zhang Yida's approach.

Jin Changhan frowned, "Organizing global e-sports events can indeed increase the popularity of the game and strengthen user stickiness.

But our current popularity and number of players are not enough!Even if it is done, the scale will not be too large, I think it should be slow! "

"A game that sold 15 copies in three days will surely sell tens of millions of copies in the next six months or a year.

I think we can start preparing, after all, preparation also takes time.

After several months of preparation, the competition will start directly at the beginning of next year! "

Greene is very confident in the game he developed, as if he has seen its popularity all over the world.

"I agree with Greene's point of view, and we can indeed start to prepare. I let all my live broadcast and short video platforms help PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to start warming up."

Zhang Yida looked at Jin Changhan, who was frowning, and said with a smile: "Be confident, we must have confidence in the games we develop!"

"I just think it's better to be on the safe side! What if the situation in the later stages of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is not as expected?
We raised the airs of the competition early, wouldn't that be a joke?

Not only will you lose money, but you will also become a joke in the industry! "

Jin Changhan put forward a different view. In his opinion, there is no need to be so anxious.

After all, the game has only been released for a few days, who knows what will happen next?

Although there is a high probability that they will not hit the street, but they are not afraid of [-], just in case?
"President Jin, don't worry! Let's start preparing! I, the president, are not afraid. What are you afraid of, the president?"

Jin Changhan no longer dissuades, anyway, he has done his best.

Besides, the company is not his own now, and the profit and loss have little to do with him.

The only thing that matters is that if the game sells better, I can get more bonuses.

Then, Zhang Yida paid more attention to the servers and asked them to install a few more sets of server units.

Repeatedly emphasize that user experience comes first. Don't sacrifice user experience in order to save money.

Jin Changhan was somewhat disapproving. In his opinion, the Chinese President Zhang was too good at doing business.

Isn't the purpose of starting a game company to make money?
From the perspective of profit maximization, the money that can be saved must be saved.

But this has nothing to do with him, so I don't bother to persuade him.

Whatever Zhang Yida said, he supported it.Since people don't care about money, what else do you care about? Spend it hard!
night.

ANSWER CLUB, No. 537, Daoshan Road, Jiangnan District.

Amidst the deafening music, countless coolly dressed women danced on the dance floor.

In the private room on the second floor, it was much quieter.

Zhang Yida raised his glass and said to a group of Bluehole executives beside him: "Come on, let's toast everyone! Congratulations on the better development of Bluehole, the company's development, and everyone's welfare is indispensable!"

A group of Koreans were toasted by Zhang Yida, and they were flattered to agree:

"We must work hard to repay the president's love!"

"Move towards a higher goal, come on!"

On the other side, the boxes of the low-level programmers were much rougher. After a few cups of horse urine, everyone felt a little smug, and everyone started to play wine table games with red faces.

There were also some programmers who couldn't hold back and went downstairs to the dance floor to play.

There are also some programmers leaning against the railing on the second floor, watching the enchanting figures on the huge dance floor downstairs.

In the private room where Zhang Yida was, there was a sudden "dong dong" knock on the door.

A waiter wearing a bow tie came in. Jin Changhan stepped forward and exchanged a few words with "Smecta".

Then, a group of girls wearing tube top skirts and suspender skirts filed in and lined up in the private room, waiting for customers to choose.

These girls are all graceful, and the eyes of a group of high-level men in the Blue Hole are green.

But everyone didn't dare to make a move, and turned their attention to Zhang Yida who was sitting in the middle of the sofa.

This is the concept of hierarchy. If Zhang Yida does not choose first, they dare not run ahead.

"I don't need it! Just drink!" Zhang Yida waved to Jin Changhan.

Jin Changhan was a little surprised, thinking that Zhang Yida didn't like these vulgar fans.

He turned around and walked to the waiter, and whispered a few words in agreement.

The waiter understood, turned around and went out.After a while, the waiter came in with a few girls.

These girls were much prettier than the dozen or so just now, standing in front of Zhang Yida like goods waiting to be selected.

Zhang Yida was face-blind and didn't watch Korean dramas, so he didn't recognize that these women were all Korean actors.
