"Yifei, you can grasp the development direction of the army, skillfully analyze various types of intelligence and combine them in an orderly manner, and even make amazing assumptions that can predict the development of the game world, but there is one aspect where you are still too weak...or

To say you never cared...that's a grasp of people's hearts!

I can tell you clearly from the experience of someone who has been in the world of martial arts. Whether you are doing business selling products or selling services, you must understand the "comparison" nature of people's hearts.

Those who are really willing to spend money, people who are used to using money to solve all problems, they only want two things with their money, one is convenience, as convenient as possible, the more convenient the better; the other is 'high-end', always better than others

, most people are advanced and have a naked comparison mentality.

Do they really lack one or two pieces of equipment?

No~ they are not lacking~

What they want is a feeling that others don't have but they have. Even many of the bosses who spend money simply keep a bunch of subordinates to help them fight the war, and they never go to the front line in person.

But even for such a person, he will equip himself with the equipment of a king, or work hard to rely on it, just to go out and enjoy the envy and jealous adoration of others, and the self-amplified comfort in his heart.

The essence of buying and selling is to "capture people's hearts." No matter how bad the quality is, as long as your price can impress the other party, someone will still buy it. Why? Because he will be impressed by you after all.

No matter where the point of impressing the other person lies, the key is that you must be able to impress him. That is, you must be able to 'grasp his mind'!

As a result, the trading of equipment is almost constant. And for all equipment transactions in this game, you know the amount of tax collected on the game trading platform.

Everyone thinks the price is outrageous.

But do you think we don’t know about your players buying and selling equipment privately from other trading platforms?

No~

We have already contacted all official virtual trading websites before the game was officially launched, so we still have to take away 70% of the transaction taxes from them, and the remaining 30% is their benefit.

So no matter where players buy or sell, as long as it is something in our game, we will make money. The question is just how much we make..."

When the old man said this, Liu Yifei was subconsciously shocked~

Although the trading platform set up in the game is very convenient, to be honest, the tax is quite heavy. The tax on the regional trading platform is 10%, the tax on the free consignment platform within the kingdom is 20%, and the tax on the large trading platform of the entire race is 10%.

The tax is 30%. It can be said that the tax forces everyone to raise prices one after another. But the problem is that the more expensive something is, the fewer people will buy it~

Therefore, the vast majority of people buy things locally. They look around the city where they live to see if they like what they like. If not, they go to other online shopping platforms outside and do third-party consignment transactions.

Unexpectedly... the little calculation of the players after a long time was also expected by the Longsheng Group...

But if you just rely on the sale of items to collect taxes...

"Of course. There are many ways for us to make money, such as Camera Wizard's shooting services, automatic locking, tracking services, various post modification services on the forum, etc.

Basically our profit strategy is as follows: attract players through the quality of the game itself. Then earn service fees through some additional peripheral services... Don't underestimate these services.

Nowadays, our game has nearly 1.2 billion players, and the experience time of Camera Wizard is only five minutes every twenty-four hours. After the experience, the one-minute shooting fee is one United Coin, and the membership price is five

discount, but you must pay a monthly membership fee of 100.

These are peripheral services that are outside the main content of the game, but they are small things that many players are interested in.

For example, some people think that fighting is very cool and cool, and they will want to take pictures of themselves and put them on the forum so that many people can admire them.

Or if someone wants to be famous, they want to create a professional dungeon strategy, mission process, etc., and it is inevitable to follow and film the actual battlefield effects throughout the process.

Or some people like to travel around in the game and take pictures of the scenery...

Don't look at the fact that these people are not strong in combat, but they just come to play and experience it, but their consumption level is even better than those well-known players with good strength! On the contrary, it is ordinary players who are dedicated to getting into the game, because they are

I'm not very interested in these peripherals, and the phone bills on these things are not high, or even non-existent...

But these people also buy equipment, and we earn their transaction tax. Even these players themselves are suppliers of excellent equipment...

In short, with the interference of today's Virtual Culture Act, making money in games is no longer as simple and crude as it was in the past. We must use our brains on this to make players more voluntarily enjoy those additional services.

And these are actually things that you semi-professional players cannot see. These economic sources that are out of your sight actually supported all of our income in the early stages of the game.

And this is how the profit of 7 billion United Coins came from~"

The old man took his time and gave himself a sip of tea, and then told Liu Yifei and the others these secrets that laymen did not understand. Of course, Liu Yifei and the others were dumbfounded by hearing these secrets that laymen could not imagine, and they were a little doubtful.

stared at the old man.

"...and this 7 billion is just a small amount of revenue when the game was first launched.

As you said, at that time, the player base was still in a period of large-scale development, and the places that were truly worthy of everyone’s money had not yet arrived.

As the game content gradually unfolds, guilds, territories, and armies are built and expanded. Where can we not use money?

And this actually contains our hidden financial resources, so is our current profitability...

Ahem. These are secrets. Forgive me for not being able to tell them. But actually, it doesn’t matter whether you tell them or not. What you have to understand is that the profits are huge~

And as a result, a problem that we didn't expect before...or should be expected. But we didn't expect that the situation would be so serious came to light.

That is the astonishing rate of inflow of world wealth!

There are only two directions, one is our Longsheng Group, and the other is towards the domestic professional player group...

Professional gamers can actually be found in every country, and it is nothing new these days.

But you must know that there are actually some definitional differences between the so-called "professional players" in our country and the "professional players" abroad.

Foreign professional players are like "competitive game players". They usually achieve very high achievements in some games, gradually improve their reputation, gain the support of some rich people, and then endorse or advertise for the rich, or simply gain the support of the rich.

Our support is fully funded.

If compared, they are like the best in a group of heterogeneous sports.

The so-called "professional gamers" in our country are actually more similar to a special kind of "service industry practitioners" who sell their combat power, physical strength and mental power for a fee in exchange for remuneration. They are a kind of simple workers.

In the past, foreigners did not have much contact with this area, but after this period of follow-up observation, we also found that more and more foreign wealthy people have begun to enjoy this kind of employment-style services.

They are no longer limited to supporting a team of professional players to improve their reputation. If possible... why don't they just buy a Chinese-style team of professional players and make them their lords?

As the person who enjoys all the achievements and praises, instead of just living behind the scenes?

Therefore, the mainstream territory development model on the market today has become a development model in which foreigners invest and domestic small and medium-sized professional player organizations contribute.

In the game, we make money from buying and selling resources, and the manpower is made by domestic professional players. This phenomenon has become more and more obvious with the recent surge in the number of lord groups, and even

A kind of heterogeneous 'virtual dumping' has formed!

We are absorbing large amounts of funds from abroad to consolidate the domestic economy with a better game experience and more comprehensive service guarantees. And this form is tantamount to virtual dumping... In addition, this game is our own

Domestic, so this has aroused conspiracy theories and suspicions in some quarters, and they feel..."

"We have a conspiracy all this time. Is it to use the convenience of the game to impact their domestic economy?"

Although Liu Yifei didn't understand many professional things, it was often suitable for an old man to say that he was listening. But some basic principles are actually easy to figure out. When he heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked a little tentative.

asked.

After hearing Liu Yifei's guess, the old man was silent for a long time, and finally just nodded helplessly and admitted.

"Yes, they have fallen into this kind of conspiracy theory speculation and are unable to extricate themselves. So much so that we have intelligence showing that nine major countries, including the United States, Britain, Russia, and Japan, have respectively dispatched their information troops and

Some Special Forces entering the game that we also don’t know about…

In fact, this information has been available for a long time, but we did not pay more attention to it, thinking that the other party was just sending out its own observers in a formal manner.

However, some recent data reflects that they seem to have interfered with some power disputes among ordinary players in the game, and have begun to secretly plan to integrate domestic forces and jointly suppress our domestic player groups...

However, these are actually not big things. We are just worried that their real intention may be far from this, because even so, they will not be able to obtain any benefits. It is not a reasonable opportunity for action at all. I am afraid there is something hidden behind all this.

There's something we don't know about...so..."

"So... people 'above' want to ask me for help?"

Liu Yifei took a sip of water, as if to calm down the surprise in his heart, and asked somewhat nonsensically.

"Yes, although we have tried our best to keep your identity confidential.

But after you attended the meeting last time, too much information about you was actually exposed. They didn't bother to check your background clearly...even your current residence was provided to me by the other party.

They asked me to come over and negotiate with you first to prepare you mentally. They said they would contact you again in the near future. At that time, they hope that you can consider the interests of the country and the interests of many colleagues in the industry and cooperate with them more.

....."

"For the benefit of the country and other industry colleagues...

Haha~

It seems that for such a great and lofty mission, I can’t help but borrow it..."

Liu Yifei frowned reluctantly, but said it somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Hearing what Liu Yifei said, the old man opposite sighed for no reason, and then carefully advised Liu Yifei:

"Yifei~ As for this person... It can be said that every person is the same. It has never been said that there are some rules that everyone must abide by, and it has never been required that everyone must have the same kind of attitude.

persist in.

When we talk in private, as long as we don't cross the line, you can say whatever you want, but Xiao Liu, in front of those people... it's best not to say it randomly.

You have to know that many times many things do not come according to our own ideas, and some people will not understand our descriptions according to the meaning we want to express.
