Chapter 228 Monkfish Takeaway
In just three days.
The ending of Red Dead Redemption has been completed by many players.
Although in the subsequent epilogue chapter, they control other characters and successfully kill Micah.
But in their hearts, that cliff and that sunset are the true ending of the game.
No matter how many times someone like Micah dies, it is difficult to calm the anger of the players, and there is no way to revive Arthur.
It's like a friend leaving you forever.
After revenge, there is only endless emptiness left.
"I want this game to stay on my computer forever."
In the live broadcast room, Ajie, who had just completed the game, breathed a sigh of relief.
Dozens of hours of high-intensity live broadcast did not make him feel tired. Instead, he felt restless and unable to calm down for a long time.
He was very glad that he was the first live broadcaster to try out the game.
This might be the proudest thing he has ever done in all these years, no doubt about it!
"Anchor, Honghuang just released sales information!"
Suddenly, a barrage of comments flashed by, interrupting his thoughts.
"Have you announced the sales volume?"
Ajie's eyes lit up. It had been three days since the game was released, and he wondered how it performed.
You should know that the Big Three have announced their first-day sales in the past two days. The three annual exclusives all grossed over one million, which can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire gaming community.
The discussion about Red Dead Redemption is quite high right now, it should be not much worse than the annual exclusives of the Big Three, right?
Out of curiosity, he quickly clicked on Honghuang's official account, and sure enough, there was a message that had just been sent.
[Honghuang Studio: I am very honored to tell you that Red Dead Redemption has successfully achieved sales of over 10 million in three days. Thank you for your strong support! ]
Ten million sales!
Seeing the above content, the entire gaming community was in an uproar.
They had thought that the sales of Red Dead Redemption would be outrageous, but they didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.
"Sales exceeded 10 million in three days! Oh my god."
"Doesn't that mean you can get your money back in three days?"
"2.5 billion, it's a direct payback!"
"The annual exclusive of the three major brands is only about 4 million."
“This one game beats all the new games from the big names!”
Not to mention the gaming community, even the major game manufacturers were shocked by this horrific result.
This time, Juying didn't just meet a tough opponent, it was like kicking on an iron plate, and that was a titanium alloy steel plate.
Annual exclusive?
It's completely a little brother in front of this sales volume!
"What on earth were the top executives of Jupyter Note thinking when they left such an awesome game unused?"
"I guess you're regretting it now, right?"
"It is said that because Red Dead Redemption lured away many players, their annual exclusive revenue was far behind the other two games."
"Should!"
The manufacturers were gloating, but also extremely shocked.
It is unimaginable to make a profit in three days even for low-budget games, let alone a game as large as "Red Dead Redemption".
In other words, all future revenue from this game will become Honghuang’s profit, accumulating a huge amount of wealth for them.
The rumor that Honghuang invested all its funds in making games, which might affect operations, was previously circulated online, but it was refuted at this moment.
joke.
A game that can achieve sales of 10 million copies in three days will only sell 10 million copies in the end?
Even if it sells 5 million more copies.
Those in Honghuang can make a net profit of more than 1 billion.
This one game made this studio soar into the sky, and it accumulated the capital to compete with large companies.
It also makes up for the defect of sole proprietorship that has been criticized for a long time.
"It seems that the market trend has really changed. From now on, traffic will no longer be the mainstream!"
A company executive sighed and said that he had finally made up his mind to transform the company's projects and take a high-quality approach.
Other manufacturers do not have this courage, but they have also begun to shift the focus of some projects and make new attempts.
You can say that.
The news released by Honghuang had a huge impact on the entire gaming industry.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it has even reversed the direction of the industry.
…
"Mr. Chen, do you think we can take advantage of this popularity to launch our own console platform? That way we don't have to rely on the three major players."
Inside the Honghuang studio.
Old Li's face was full of eagerness to try.
His idea was simple. The annual exclusive sales of those three companies were less than half of theirs. Since those companies could do it, couldn't they do it too?
"That's why I told you to learn more from Old Song."
Chen Lin shook his head helplessly. If it were really that easy, he would have done it long ago.
Old Song on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I told you to use your brain but you didn't listen. Although we are suppressing JuHard with a game, we are only fighting against them. Even if JuHard wants to retaliate, we have to consider the other two companies taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
"But if you get involved in the console industry, it will affect their market interests. Then the three companies will definitely unite to deal with us. Do you think we can withstand it now?"
The same principle applied when they first entered the online game market.
Those manufacturers that originally occupied the market share will certainly not easily allow more competitors to share the profits.
Once someone shows up, they will be suppressed openly or covertly.
If they were not so strong and the industry was not stable, they might not be able to gain a foothold.
"I see. I had forgotten about that."
Old Li slapped his head and quickly reacted.
The Big Three are different from the major domestic online game companies. Not only do they have extremely strong capital support, their businesses are spread across all industries and countries.
If the three parties come together to deal with them, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now. We are just a game studio, so we just need to focus on making good games."
Chen Lin is well aware of the principle of biting off more than you can chew.
Even if he is a time traveler, it is impossible for him to do everything to make money. He just needs to be big and good in one field.
"In that case, let's discuss the next game, shall we?" Lao Li immediately suggested, "The Liming team has created such a huge hit, Mr. Chen, you may not know that everyone under me is clamoring to make one too."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Lin with grievance.
He was really envious. Dawn had made the first game in the prehistoric world to sell tens of millions of copies, and he had counted the bonuses and dividends until his hands were numb.
Although they also participated in part of the production, they , which made them feel a little regretful.
"Why? When Liming was making games, didn't you also release several games? Yu-Gi-Oh's revenue is not low."
Chen Lin knew what he was thinking and smiled.
"And a game of Red Dead Redemption's level is not something you can just make. You can see that we invested so much money and manpower. We have already taken a huge risk."
"Uh...that's right, then how about we play some small games to ease the tension?"
Sales of tens of millions are hard to come by, so Lao Li doesn't force it. He just wants them to have a new project to work on, so that those guys don't have to bother him all day long.
"Liming has been working intensively for a while and needs to take a break. I happen to have a special project here. Do you want to let Poxiao do it?"
At this time, Lao Song took a document and spread it out on the table.
The two looked down, but both froze.
"Is this... a national project tender?"
Chen Lin's eyes moved slightly. He remembered that Lao Song had mentioned this to him before.
"How did you get it?"
Old Li looked at Old Song with a look of shock on his face.
Yes.
What is now in front of them is the bidding project issued by the higher authorities.
Or it can be said to be attracting investment.
And it was issued personally by the Ministry of Aerospace!
“I bought it.”
Old Song answered truthfully.
"Bought it?"
"Yes, this investment promotion is different from the past. The Ministry of Aerospace is in urgent need of funds to improve the rocket launch tower."
"As long as you donate enough, you will appear in official announcements and live broadcasts as a sponsor. I spent 300 million to buy this spot, and several other big companies also bought it."
Official announcement and live broadcast!
And it’s from the Aerospace Department!
Chen Lin's interest suddenly increased after hearing this: "Sure, 300 million can get an official status, it's worth it!"
Before last year, the gaming industry had always been an unpopular industry.
But now, so many game manufacturers have obtained places, which is enough to show that the country is starting to vigorously support this emerging industry.
They are not short of money now, so naturally they cannot miss this opportunity to obtain official cooperation. It is equivalent to providing Honghuang with a layer of protection, which is of extraordinary significance.
As expected, Old Song has a very high vision in this regard.
"What specific requirements do they have?" Old Li couldn't help but ask.
"Take the example of a game manufacturer. As long as they make a game with a science and space theme before the next satellite launch, they will appear directly on the list of sponsors and the game will also receive a certification mark."
"The Ministry of Aerospace's certification mark? Okay , we did it!"
Chen Lin knew very well what a game would become if it obtained this logo.
The gimmick of official certification alone is enough to make them a fortune.
No wonder the price of a sponsorship spot is so high.
Thinking of this, he didn't waste any words, opened the password drawer, took out several game plans he had prepared before, and started looking through them.
"Mr. Chen, have you saved up so many plans?"
Old Li's eyes widened as he looked at the plans with different names in Chen Lin's hand. The number seemed to be more than before.
Old Song standing by was also jealous.
After following Chen Lin for so long, he is completely convinced by the plans made by Chen Lin. Any one of these plans would be of extremely high value.
"Don't look at it. It's not the time to bring out these plans yet."
Chen Lin did not avoid them and continued to search.
"What is this 'Give Him Love'? It looks much thicker than the others. And this 'Old Man Hoop', is it an old man hula-hooping? Sports type?"
Old Li looked at the two thickest ones with a curious look.
He found that the names Chen Lin gave to the plans were too strange and it was impossible to tell what type of game they were.
“Found it.”
Just at this moment, Chen Lin's voice rang out.
A proposal book of equally great thickness appeared in front of the two.
Outer Wilds
"I thought about it and decided that this game should be the most suitable for the space theme. You can make it next."
Since it’s about aerospace, how can we miss delivering monkfish?
