Focus on the future!

Wu Zhaopu really can't figure out how to focus on the future. Although the future of the world war is based on the development of the game, it must be a large-scale battle. As long as the network traffic can reach it, as long as the computer hardware can reach it, a "third world war" can come in a world war. Think about it, tens of thousands of tanks on the ground rumbling forward, and hundreds of thousands of infantrymen followed behind, braving the rain of bullets and bullets, tens of thousands of fighter jets roared past in the sky, and clouds rising from explosions were in the distance. Floating, the scene is indeed very spectacular, very tragic, and very exciting.

But how to make money in the middle? ——Wu Zhaopu puzzled.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Wu, you think, such a large-scale battle, any war will cost an astronomical amount of money, but how did this money come from?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Obtained through the game. Players can obtain it by completing tasks, or by collecting some materials for processing. Are there many assisted life occupations in the game? This is a means to ensure that players can have enough game coins to play the game." Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng nodded.

"But Mr. Wu, you have to understand that people, especially men,’s pursuit of honor and reputation is endless. Especially in this peaceful age, many people feel that life is too plain and too boring. Quite a few. Men are yearning for the kind of life of iron horses, golden horses, vertical and horizontal battlefields, and kings worshipping the king. Of course, this kind of life can only appear in dreams. And online games can undoubtedly provide them with such an opportunity, especially the world war, think about it. , When you establish a guild, expand your territory, unify the country, and finally lead your own men to attack the empire, establish the great cause of all ages, and unify the earth! Think about it, how exciting this is!" Lin Feng spread his hands out .

Wu Zhaopu closed his eyes and imagined the scene Lin Feng said. When he stood on a high platform and called out from the heights, thousands of good men under his command followed him to fight in all directions, that feeling. ——Cool!

"Therefore, as the world war game progresses, with the establishment of guilds and the establishment of nations, there will be more and more large-scale battles of this kind, and it may even be possible that battles far exceeding the scale of the'Second World War' will occur every day. , Think about it, at that time, will players still have free time to make money?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. Indeed, when the "enemy country" is not right, any player will not have the leisure and elegance to make money. The so-called rise and fall of the country, everyone is responsible. In real life, most people can't be this "bifu", but they can do it in online games. Especially first-person shooter games, this is the game that most easily arouses all men*.

As for the scale of the war, in the world war, there is really no worries about the small scale of the war. After all, this is a game. Players can do whatever they want in the game, especially in the game to solve many things that cannot be solved in reality. For example, in Sino-Japanese relations, in real life it is impossible to avenge the compatriots who died in the eight years of the War of Resistance against Japan, but it is completely possible in the game.

The setting of the World War is completely open. In the game, as long as you want and have this strength, you can completely destroy a "country" and occupy the territory of this country permanently (according to the game settings, if a country is destroyed, the players of the country will log in to the game again , You can choose to act as a guerrilla or log in again in a third country).

"Then how to make money?" Although Wu Zhaopu has been excited by the blueprint of the future world war game that Lin Feng envisions, he still doesn't understand how Lin Feng is going to make money.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"It's very simple, we directly provide the exchange of game currency and real currency." Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu took a sharp breath.

The company directly provides the exchange of game currency and real currency, which is currently not dared to try by any online game company. First, if redemption is provided directly, will players redeem it? After all, such direct exchange will directly give all players a feeling of unfairness in the game; secondly, how is this exchange ratio determined? As the game progresses, the price ratio in the game is constantly fluctuating. How is this ratio determined? Third, will the state intervene? Fourth, once this charging method is adopted, if the player keeps not redeeming it, the company will not make any money at all, so how to maintain operations? We must know that supercomputers will be used as servers in the World War, and optical cables from various countries will be leased. The daily maintenance costs are estimated to be around one million dollars. If the player does not redeem, the "Second World" will not last long.

Lin Feng poured a cup of tea for Wu Zhaopu.

"Mr. Wu, your concern is right, but I don't think it will become an obstacle to this new charging model. First, this kind of direct exchange will only be exchanged for gold coins, and in the game, gold coins are not omnipotent. In addition to the standard weapons used in some shops, you can’t buy any high-tech weapons (in the setting of the world war, high-tech weapons need to be made by the player. Of course, the higher the technological content of the weapons, the higher the The greater the number of players with the corresponding technology, and the need for players to purchase the corresponding equipment and raw materials), in addition to buying ordinary weapons, gold coins can only buy ammunition and various raw materials." Lin Feng explained.

Wu Zhaopu nodded slowly. If this is the case, it will indeed not change any game balance. After all, no matter how much gold you exchange for, you can only buy ordinary weapons, and other players can also buy the same weapons. You can't directly change the balance of the game. At most, your ammunition is n times that of others. But in the era of hot weapons, more ammunition does not mean you are better than others. After all, first-person shooter games often test human operations.

But there is another problem, that is, if only these can be exchanged, then how to attract players to exchange for gold coins? ——Wu Zhaopu looked puzzled.

auzw.com"It’s very simple. When a large-scale battle breaks out, the president of a guild or the head of a country (all players can assume the role) wants to start a war or defend the territory. Members must be called to fight. In the World War, everything is for money. Members joining a guild will naturally fight for the benefits of the guild. But the consumption in the middle will naturally have to be provided by the guild. You said, Based on the map of the world war, when this war breaks out, will it be over? Once the war continues, the consumption of these guilds will be far greater than what they can obtain. If you do not want to destroy the group, then you can only The game system buys guns and ammunition!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Zhaopu thought about it carefully, and it was exactly what Lin Feng said. The real war continued to fight, and the consumption was so great that no guild could bear it. And let the members bear the consumption alone, I am afraid there will only be one result, that is, members have defected to join other guilds. After all, World War is a first-person shooter game, not a cold weapon game like Legends and World of Warcraft. A sword or a knife can be used for half a day, and it can be repaired.

In the world war, every bullet is money!

"Also, these guilds occupy a place and need to be built, and construction requires money. Where does the money come from? It would be too slow to make money from the game. Therefore, they can only find the system to buy. So , What we make is the money of people who want to become generals and marshals. And these people are rich! Of course, apart from these people, ordinary players who don’t want to join the guild or want to upgrade their weapons will also have money. When they don’t have enough money, they naturally have to redeem it. After all, the rhythm of war games is far beyond that of any game. Once a war breaks out, in terms of human inferiority, it will not end unless one party is killed or the winner is determined. Yes. According to my conservative estimate, the amount of cash exchanged every day will exceed ten million U.S. dollars." Lin Feng said with bright eyes.

Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. Indeed, as Lin Feng said, the demand for money in this future game is indeed very large, very large, but what is the proportion? What is the currency exchange ratio? If it is not fair, players will be criticized.

"Mr. Wu, don’t worry about this. Didn’t our company set up a “Second World Monetary Organization” before? Former World Bank Vice President Anne Kruger and former World Monetary Fund President Michelle- Can Kang Desu manage it! With their abilities, can they still not manage the ratio of virtual currency exchanges in a mere way?" Lin Feng said lightly.

Wu Zhaopu thought about it again, and said that he was confused. The former presidents of the two major financial organizations in the world are in the company, and virtual currency games will stump them, and their worries are really unnecessary.

But if we do this, will the state intervene?

"Rest assured, as long as our virtual currency does not impact normal financial currencies, there will be no problems." Lin Feng said in his chest.

Virtual currency is virtual currency, and its existence is completely dependent on the virtual world. If you want to impact the real currency, unless this virtual world has become a part of the whole world, it is indispensable. When that time comes, the state may also consider the series of reactions after the intervention if it wants to interfere.

Of course, Lin Feng's ultimate dream is to make the "Second World Currency" be able to become a currency circulating in the world one day in the future. Of course, for now, this goal is still far away!

"Then the boss, what if the netizens keep not redeeming it? Or, the war broke out not as fast as we thought, what should we do? The daily maintenance cost of the server and the broadband cost are not a small number." Wu Zhao Pu said worriedly.

The original world war setting was based on the background of the world before the "First World War", but considering that if it came out, it would be the background of the "First World War", the player's computer and server would not be able to handle this super large-scale world war. , The computer will crash. Therefore, in the end, Lin Feng proposed to start from ancient times. When all players enter the game, they enter the Stone Age. Let players start the game from this era, starting with hacking and killing dinosaurs, fighting against nature, and then slowly upgrading technology, from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, then to the Iron Age, and then to the Firearm Age, and then the Modern Weapon Age, Even the future technological era.

In this long upgrade road, the "Second World" will also make every effort to develop computers with better performance, faster optical fibers, and eventually reach a battlefield capable of accommodating millions or even tens of millions of people.

This design was right at the beginning, but now Lin Feng has decided to adopt a free mode, where players can exchange game currency for fees. During the long upgrade process, I’m afraid that players’ fees are limited and that can’t make money. How can the company bear this amazing everyday? What about maintenance fees?

Lin Feng didn't care about Wu Zhaopu's worries.

"Mr. Wu, this is very simple. Although during this long upgrade process, players really have very little demand for gold coins, it is not uncommon. Because there will also be wars, such as bows and arrows, knives, and the like also need money. Although the player usually has one hand, the knife will be damaged, and the bow and arrow are even more consumables. What's more, the ancient war is a vast area, and the journey in the middle takes a lot of time. But the war in the world city. In the game settings, players need to eat every day, otherwise they will consume physical strength and reduce combat effectiveness. And buying food and grass requires money. Mr. Wu, once a war is scaled up, the cost is huge. Although possible There are not as many times as there are hot weapons, but they are also indispensable." Lin Feng explained.

After listening, Wu Zhaopu gave Lin Feng a thumbs up. This charging model is indeed very suitable for the World War. However, Wu Zhaopu felt that Lin Feng's ambition was more than that.

"Well, indeed, what I want is more. This time, I think players can try to sell virtual currency directly in the game." Lin Feng said.

what! Allow players to sell virtual currency directly in the game? It's too big to play this time! ——Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.

"Mr. Wu, why, why are you so surprised?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Why are you so surprised? Boss, isn't this surprising? Players sell virtual currency directly. What does this mean? Real currency can circulate with virtual currency." Wu Zhaopu exclaimed.

Lin Feng shook his finger.

"Mr. Wu, players can sell virtual currency in the game. It does not mean that virtual currency can be circulated with real currency. This is just more convenient for players to exchange currency. It also stimulates players' enthusiasm for the game!" Lin Feng smiled.

If you can directly exchange game currency, then players will be even more crazy!
