Shen Miaomiao was very excited!
This is her first receipt, and it is also another attempt after she made money in a row from "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Overcooked" and "Titanfall", but failed to make any profit!
Over there, Gu Sheng was adjusting the web page.
Here, Shen Miaomiao prayed silently.
God, please let me suffer some loss!
It has been a year since her last loss-making "Left 4 Dead" project!
System Boss!
Have pity on the child!
You have to know that it has only been more than two years since Golden Wind was founded!
I was making money nearly half of the time and never lost a penny!
If this continues, our system will become a mere decoration!
I don't want to lose 1 or 8 billion. Even if you can just give me a few tens of thousands of dollars, it will be some consolation!
Shen Miaomiao didn't know until she calculated it, and she felt that she was going to be extremely miserable.
It has been a year since she last enjoyed any rebate!
The system she was asked to use truly made anyone who saw it sad and anyone who heard about it cry.
A feeling of bitterness surged in her heart, and Shen Miaomiao felt like she was about to cry.
We both have systems, so why is my situation completely different from that of the protagonists in those stories?
I see that the protagonists in those novels all have everything provided for them, and the system is eager to fleece all the wool in the world into the protagonist's pocket.
But my system really won’t give you rewards if it says so!
Of course!
The fact that there is no rebate for a year cannot be entirely blamed on the system.
Shen Miaomiao secretly glanced at Gu Sheng beside her.
Speaking of which, this terrifying whale is the culprit.
Whenever this guy attacks, he never misses his target.
Although from the perspective of her system, from "Cat Rio" to "APEX", the nine projects have both profits and losses.
but!
From the perspective of the rate of commercial capital recovery, none of the projects since the establishment of Golden Wind have been loss-making!
Not only did I not lose money, I made a lot of money, the kind that was crazy profitable!
What was the initial capital of Golden Wind when it was first established?
500,000.
And how much funds does Golden Wind have now?
According to the financial statements submitted by the Finance Department to the President's Office last month -
675 million.
That's it! This is the money they got back after emptying their savings to make Titanfall!
More than two years.
From 500,000 to 675 million.
A 1,350-fold year-on-year increase!
This is not crazy growth anymore!
This growth rate is unattainable in any industry!
This is no longer an industry myth!
This is a god! The god has arrived!
Not to mention others, just look at the huge Shen Capital!
From scratch, we have many industries and hundreds of subsidiaries!
No company’s growth rate can be so terrifying!
It can be said that if Shen Miaomiao did not have the system, then if she was able to recruit Gu Sheng, the ultimate cash cow, top producer, and invincible supernova, she should have built a golden statue for Gu Sheng and worshipped him, burning three incense sticks and kowtowed three times every day!
This guy is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!
So it’s no wonder that so many game manufacturers are coveting Gu Sheng.
Not for any other reason, just because this guy is really making so much money!
Every game was so popular that they even pioneered many new gameplays, new upgrades, and new forms of games, such as "psychological horror", "second-generation FPS", and "battle royale".
Although, the current size of Golden Wind is less than 1 billion, it cannot be considered a medium or large game manufacturer in the gaming circle.
But whether it is its booming momentum or the invitation from world-class manufacturers like Konami.
All of this proves the rapid rise of the Golden Wind.
Entering the billion-dollar club and becoming a medium-sized game manufacturer is just around the corner.
but!
This does not affect Shen Miaomiao's determination to pursue rebates.
Indeed!
Entering the billion club and becoming a medium-sized gaming company is indeed something to look forward to for them.
But you have to know.
If you say!
These nine games are all calculated based on the most ideal situation, all at a loss, then -
The cost of "Cat Rio" is 10,000 yuan, and the rebate is 100,00
"Who is the Daddy" cost 100,000 yuan and rebated 1 million yuan.
"Vampire Survivor" cost 200,000 yuan and rebated 2 million yuan.
"Phasmophobia" cost 2 million and rebated 20 million.
The cost of "Left 4 Dead" is 10.8 million, and the bonus card has a 100-fold rebate, totaling 1.008 billion.
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" cost 50 million yuan and had a rebate of 500 million yuan.
"Overcooked" 1 million, rebate 10 million.
"Titanfall" cost 170 million yuan and rebated 1.87 billion yuan.
"APEX" cost 50 million and rebated 550 million.
The total cost is 284.11 million yuan, and the total rebate is 4.0331 billion yuan!
"Billion Club"?
joke!
I, Shen Miaomiao, can buy four of the Billion Club!
and!
If the world line really develops according to this ideal situation, as long as she is brave enough, she can throw all the 4 billion into the game market.
So!
She will get 40 billion yuan from this wave of rebates!
What? You said that Xun Teng is the largest game manufacturer in China?
Give Xun Teng two big slaps and do you think he dares to say anything?
With just ten games, it has directly jumped to the top spot in the Chinese gaming circle. After that, with a little effort, it will be able to surpass Neon and Mi, and defeat the likes of Konami and Yunwei!
hey-hey……
A little daydream.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh foolishly, feeling happy for herself in another world line.
However, this situation is too ideal.
Gu Sheng is not an unemotional game-making machine. If he really played like this, I'm afraid Old Gu would have quit long ago.
After all, the two of them have been together for such a long time and have lived under the same roof for several months, so she has a certain understanding of Gu Sheng.
He truly loves this industry and this career. He is a true gamer who regards games as art.
Although his pursuit and love for games, to some extent... to a large extent, hindered Shen Miaomiao from losing money.
However, Shen Miaomiao would not really blame him for ruining her good fortune.
Ignorance is no fault.
Besides, now!
My own system has been upgraded and there is a new and better way to lose money.
Even if he loses money in every movie, Lao Gu can realize his dream of becoming a top designer and make a fortune himself.
When Lao Gu doesn't want to do it anymore, or when she has earned enough, she will go with Lao Gu, take the money that they can't spend in several lifetimes, buy a big yacht and travel around the world, eat and drink, and then...
"What are you laughing at with that fool?"
Gu Sheng's voice came, interrupting Shen Miaomiao's reverie.
"ah……"
Shen Miaomiao was startled, then came to her senses:
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."
"You don't think APEX will be able to make back its investment in the first week like our previous games, do you?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is it impossible?"
"Oufu Kosnaote!"
Gu Sheng was startled and looked at Shen Miaomiao in disbelief:
"You're dreaming, this is a free game, the cost is 50 million!"
"You want to make back your money in just one week? Do you really think this game is like robbing a bank?"
In order to prevent little Nezha from being too disappointed, Gu Sheng retrieved the data on the "percentage of paying players" of the free-to-play games in the somatosensory cabin released in the past six months on the Huayu Electric website.
It can be seen that according to statistics, the average proportion of paying players in the new free motion sensing cabin games released in the past six months is 7.23%.
Yes.
Whether it is Gu Sheng’s previous life or this world, the proportion of paying players in a free multiplayer online game is accumulated slowly from low to high.
This is the objective law of the game market.
"The percentage of paying players is accumulated over time, such as League of Legends and CrossFire ,"
"One of these two games has been in operation for 12 years, and the other has been in operation for 13 years,"
"After such a long period of accumulation, there are endless activities and krypton gold points. In addition, the market of the two games is becoming increasingly saturated, and the number of new players is decreasing."
"Due to various factors, the paying player ratio of these two games can reach 87% and 92% respectively,"
Gu Sheng gave little Nezha a shot of prevention and explained:
"It's only been seven days. Our krypton gold points and related operational activities are very thin. In addition, the game is on the rise and there are a lot of new players."
"You only see the market's praise, the players' favorable comments, and the few players who spent money on it,"
"But I didn't expect that among the players of a game, the silent ones are the majority,"
"When any new game is launched, players need to understand it, adapt to it, and build a relationship with it, so the initial paying player ratio will definitely not be high."
While guiding and guiding, Gu Sheng slid the roller.
Just as he said, from the data summary list, the proportion of paying players in most new games is below 5%. Occasionally there are a few that are close to 10%, but they are rare.
"You see, 1.7%, 3.5%, 4.2%, 6.6%... this is the real free game market. The paying player group of any game is accumulated through one activity after another and one wave of operation after another,"
"There is an essential difference between free games and paid games. The freedom of payment means that no one can have a big meal at one time."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng moved his mouse to the [Sort by ratio from high to low] button and clicked Refresh:
"If you don't believe me, look at all the new games,"
“Even among the players with the highest percentage of paying players, it’s only… 58.2%?!!!”
"What the hell is this monkey thing I'm trying to trap you in?"
As the page refreshes!
But see!
At the top of the list, a bizarre statistic is striking, leaving all other games of the same period far behind!
[58.2% (Since the data of this work is too high and has no reference value, it is not included in the average calculation)]
This number is so shocking, so eye-catching, and so outrageous.
So much so that Huayu Electronics marked it out in a separate, eye-catching red color.
Following this bizarre and terrifying ratio, four letters came into view:
APEX
The games with the highest percentage of paying players in new games are theirs.
As high as 58.2%.
Gu Sheng:?
When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
Are you kidding me?
Are the statistics wrong?
Do you want to see how outrageous the data you have compiled is?
Oh, you have seen it, and you even think it is outrageous, so you deliberately excluded this data from the average statistics.
That is to say.
The 58.2% share of paying players has been approved by China Entertainment Entertainment!
“I… Shit!!!”
For a moment, Gu Sheng’s eyes widened!
This is really like robbing a bank!
Quickly find the weekly profit page and click to enter!
Then I heard the little Nezha beside me also screaming in surprise!
“I… Shit!!!”
On the large projection screen, the seven-day total sales data that had just been refreshed was clearly visible!
【APEX single-week total sales: 62.44 million yuan】
Shen Miaomiao's pupils suddenly shrank!
The numbers that I had calculated countless times appeared in my mind like a conditioned reflex!
【62.5 million yuan】
Excluding the commission, if APEX wants to achieve a single-week profit, its turnover must reach 62.5 million yuan!
In other words…
[Ding! Time is up! This round of investment settlement is completed! ]
Next second!
Shen Miaomiao heard a crisp sound in her mind, and then the system settlement interface appeared before her eyes——
[Ding! Project loss detected! ]
【Sub-project: APEX】
【Project investment amount: 50 million yuan】
[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 11 times (+0 times)]
[Actual project revenue: 49.952 million yuan]
[Project loss amount: 48,000 yuan]
[Project rebate amount: 528,000 yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: 0]
[Ding! Loss settlement completed, rebate has been issued to the host's personal bank card! ]
Then Shen Miaomiao felt her phone vibrate!
A text message was sent -
[Your debit card account 1118 deposited 528,000 yuan through mobile banking on August 24, and the balance is 533,775.68 yuan...]
The air in the apartment briefly stagnated for two seconds!
then!
Then one could hear Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao's exclamations, rising one after another, from low to high!
“Oh my god…”
“Oh my god…”
“Oh my god!”
“Oh my god!”
"I rely on you, I rely on you, I rely on you!"
"I rely on you, I rely on you, I rely on you!"
Gu Sheng relies on this 58.2% of paying players which is so terrifying, it is simply a mythical data!
This undoubtedly means that their pass + non-attribute green krypton gold model has been a huge success!
In this world, a new path of krypton gold that is healthy, fair and green has been created!
The far-reaching impact of this is even comparable to the feat of creating the 'second generation FPS'!
Gu Sheng was very happy!
Because always!
Gu Shengdu regards a sentence from the deceased former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata as his motto:
[On my business card, I am the president of Nintendo; in my mind, I am a game developer; and deep in my heart, I am a gamer. ]
This is the highest realm of a pure gamer.
Gu Sheng loves games. He regards games as a second world that runs parallel to real life and a utopia for the soul.
And in this utopia, there should no longer be the concept of 'money first'.
The class differences in reality are enough to make people breathless.
I don't want my game to continue this kind of oppression, no matter if you are a wealthy tycoon or an ordinary citizen, a president or director of a large company, or an ordinary worker, student or office worker.
Here, in my game, we are all the same, simple and pure players.
We met here because of our common love.
It has nothing to do with identity, wealth or class.
I may envy your heirlooms, but you'll also envy my hunting exhaust.
Here, we only have one name - Player.
Gu Sheng is happy!
And Shen Miaomiao was even more excited!
Money back! Money back! Money back!
Oh, heaven and earth! Which angel sister gave me this breath of fairy spirit?
Although a loss of 48,000 may not seem like a big deal!
But it can’t resist the 11 times high rebate!
520,000 RMB arrived in seconds!
You must know!
Her annual salary is only 500,000!
This is equivalent to giving her a whole year's salary in an instant!
The most important thing is!
This is her rise again in a year!
These 520,000 yuan are not just 520,000 yuan!
The symbolic significance of its success is even higher than its actual value!!!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't even control her excitement, tears actually flashed in her big eyes!
Amid the cheers, the two equally excited people looked at each other.
Shen Miaomiao jumped up with a bang and was about to pounce on Gu Sheng, while Gu Sheng, who was extremely excited , laughed and stretched out his hands!
But the next second, as the distance between the two people rapidly narrowed, a feeling of helplessness and strangeness arose in their hearts at the same time.
Shen Miaomiao braked the car with a squeak, and Gu Sheng raised his hands in embarrassment.
Gu, Shen: ...
An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
After a long while, Gu Sheng finally opened his mouth, his face slightly red: "... high five?"
As for Shen Miaomiao, she bit her lips lightly and stretched out her little hand: "...Yeah."
Then, they both reached out their hands to each other at the same time:
“Ah, that…”
"Um……"
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
"Congratulations... Congratulations..."
"I..." Gu Sheng raised his hand: "I...I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
"Ah, ah, " Shen Miaomiao coughed unnaturally and nodded: "Go, go..."
Gu Sheng stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Shen Miaomiao also turned her head and pretended to look at the data on the projection screen.
Two people, two directions, back to back.
But the arc of the corners of the mouth that could not help but rise was so similar...
