Chapter 256: The Dragon Banner Game Company
After the appearance of "Legend", Lou promised to refer to the practices of his previous life, cooperate with Internet cafes to build an online sales system and directly install sales channels into Internet cafes.
From then on, players can buy game points on the spot by just going to the Internet cafe to pay, solving the problem that most people cannot purchase point cards.
In this era, the so-called computer stores and software retail stores were even fewer than newspaper booths, and the price of point cards sold in them was relatively high. After all, they directly sold physical goods.
The emergence of the online point-of-card sales system of Ziqi Games has directly opened up the entire game's sales channel and is aimed at more customers who have some card purchase needs.
Of course, the emergence of new things will always cause resistance from old things. The emergence of low-cost point card distribution channels will naturally also attract dissatisfaction from software dealers who were previously the only and largest sales channel of online game manufacturers.
But Ziqi Game doesn't care at all. The scale of the point card distribution channel in his hand has become. Although it will hurt for a while after ending cooperation with software dealers - after all, they have been immersed in the industry for decades, and the channels are spread more widely.
But the pain in the flesh is always better than the throat being curbed by software dealers.
Software dealers have extremely high requirements for online game point card sales share, and the 3:7 share model has long attracted extreme dissatisfaction with online game manufacturers and even stand-alone game sales manufacturers.
Of course, the building promises here that it will not raise any cost issues.
There is no way to play stand-alone games, and Internet cafes rarely say they will sell CDs.
However, for the field of online games, the emergence of the Internet cafe point card sales model undoubtedly provides a way for manufacturers to get rid of being squeezed by software dealers.
Whether it is using the Internet cafe point card distribution channel of Ziqi Games to negotiate with software providers, it is required to reduce the share ratio.
It would be better to cooperate with Ziqi Games. Through the Internet cafe of Ziqi Games, I will put my own game point cards on it. There is still one more way for multiple modes.
Of course, there are also online game manufacturers that are not willing to be exploited by software dealers or cooperate with Ziqi Games, but instead copy Ziqi Games themselves and want to build their own Internet cafe distribution channels.
The world is divided and reunited. Under the pressure of reality, whether it is a software dealer or an online game manufacturer, it will not actually be profitable if you have money, and your head is as hard as iron.
Just like Ziqi Games and software dealers, although Ziqi Games has another channel, will it continue to cooperate with software dealers in the end?
Just like software dealers, no matter how unsatisfied their income will be cut in half, they will not welcome the same smile as the same?
By organizing a huge ground promotion team, this can basically be said to be a distribution channel for Internet cafes in first- and second-tier cities across the country. Not only does Ziqi Game make a lot of money, but at least it is the second largest revenue pillar besides the online game's own income.
The third source of revenue of Ziqi Games is Ziqi Chess and Card Game Center.
Although Ziqi Game has not been online for a long time, its overall market share and user scale are not as good as the old-fashioned products Lianzhong Chess and Anmei Chess and Cards.
However, with the innovative functional support promised by the building, including fresh Doudizhu gameplay, various novel functions and gameplay from the previous life to the present life, the Yiqi Chess and Card Game Center has also received a low income in all aspects.
The existence of three major profit channels supports Hongqi Games to become a large enterprise with annual sales exceeding 600 million yuan and a net profit of over 100 million yuan in less than two years after its establishment.
Under the leadership of Wang Tianchu, Lou Chengun inspected the employees' office area, looked at the information of each game, and then held a meeting with the company's executives.
Although Lou Chenggong is the chairman, to be honest, he, as the chairman, is not very responsible.
He is now the director of the TV station, and also serves as the chairman of Qiandu Company, the chairman of Shenghui Company, the chairman of entertainment, and the chairman of Geqi Games.
He had to deal with all the things, and he was too tired to do it.
Therefore, in addition to the strategic decisions of each company, he regularly checks the information reported by professional managers on some major and minor matters of the company's business and internal affairs, and deals with it separately if he has any doubts.
Fortunately, Lou Chengnuo has a relatively accurate vision. He chose people who are general managers, even if they are not capable enough, at least they are all moral talents. There are no such people who steal or harm the public or private.
After the meeting, the next thing is to care about the work practices of the general managers.
"How is the stand-alone game you want to develop now?" Lou Chengnuo asked Wang Tianchu while looking through the files.
Wang Tianchu smiled and said, "The person in charge of the stand-alone game development team has already formulated a plan. What we plan to develop is an action role-playing stand-alone game, which is adapted from the martial arts novel of the same name by Gu Long."
"Oh?" Lou Chengnuo asked a little curiously, "What's the name?"
"This game is called "Meteor Butterfly Sword". The plan is to pass the level with one official and one level in the way players play the role of "killer"!" Wang Tianchu said.
Lou Chengnuo's heart moved. The name of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" sounds like the game in his previous life. The gameplay mentioned by Wang Tianchu is more like the gameplay.
After understanding, Lou promised to confirm that what Wang Tianchu wanted to develop was the single-player game of the same name launched in 2002 in his previous life.
In the promised understanding, the game was still good, but it was born at the wrong time. When it was born in the previous life, it was a year when domestic stand-alone players began to decline from their peak, because after that, online games became the entertainment method for most domestic players.
Despite this, when the game "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was released in previous lives, according to the promises, it should have not lost money.
"It's good if you don't lose money. Although you're expected to lose money, no one wants to really lose money, right?" Lou Chengnuo asked while thinking, "This game screen should be better. Do you have enough developers in the company now?"
"I don't want you to lose your online game business for the sake of the development of stand-alone games!" said Lou Chengnuo.
"I understand, Mr. Lou, don't worry, the business of online games takes priority to the development of stand-alone games. I will only transfer people to make stand-alone games without affecting the development of online games." Wang Tianchu promised.
Currently, there are six large-scale online games in Ziqi Game, three of which are traditional martial arts turn-based 2D games, two are Japanese pet combat games, and the last one is "Legend of Hot Blood".
