Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 487 Overseas Trial Version Released
When the words came to this, Xiao Ma Ge immediately understood what the manager meant by "special attention".
Although the game's data performance in all aspects is amazing, a PC game with millions of players online simultaneously is indeed not worth Tenda's fuss.
After all, any one of Tenda's three major players in the PC gaming field has millions of players online at the same time.
Even if this game is produced by a local company, there is nothing to be afraid of. Pony Ma is even happy to see such a situation happen, as it can also give a sense of urgency to his subordinates at Tenda Games.
After all, the reason why Tengda pursues a system of mutual competition is that it is afraid that the lack of external pressure will lead to the breeding of arrogant big company disease within Tengda, which will eventually lead to the collapse of a thousand-mile dam due to an ant hole.
Therefore, Xiao Ma Ge was prepared for danger and pursued the principle of mutual competition internally.
As a pioneer in the domestic Internet industry, Tenda was even established under the inspiration of Zhuchang. However, Tenda, the later wave, is coming with great momentum and has already surpassed Zhuchang and is far ahead.
(Zhuchang Games: It’s me, it was me first. I was the first. Whether it was the first massively multiplayer online game in China or self-developed, why did it turn out like this… I lost to that guy who only made his fortune by acting as a game agent! Damn it)
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.
Xiao Ma Ge originally thought that this would be the flagship product of QQ Games to show its strength again, but he didn't expect that it was actually developed by the game company he invested in.
Moreover, it only holds 10% of the shares, which really makes Pony Ma a little confused. If it were Tenda, it would definitely gain absolute control of this game company.
"Interesting, who are the other shareholders of this gaming company?" Xiao Ma asked with interest.
"Among them, Principal Wang's Pusi Investment holds a 10% share. There are also two individual shareholders, and the largest shareholder is Dongsheng Investment, which holds 60% of the shares..."
This kind of semi-public data is naturally not difficult for Tenda to obtain. The manager spoke of it in detail and it was obvious that he had done his homework.
"Dongsheng Investment... sounds a bit familiar..." Xiao Ma Ge muttered.
"It's Pinxixi! When we were seeking to cooperate with this social e-commerce platform, we contacted this investment company, but the other party rejected our purchase request..." someone in the conference room immediately thought of it.
"That's right, and the company Pinxixi also has the shadow of Zhuchang Capital behind it..."
"I didn't expect it to be this company again. They actually invested in gaming companies. Their business scope is quite broad..."
As his subordinates added their words, a young and handsome face suddenly appeared in Xiao Ma Ge's mind and he remembered it all at once. After all, it had only been a while since they had the dinner in Wuzhen.
"I see. It turns out it's this young man. Old Ding is really nice to him. It seems like he's really optimistic about this young man." Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but sigh.
As for the "illegitimate child" mentioned earlier, it was just a joke and naturally no one would take it seriously. Even if there was one, it would be kept well hidden and not publicized so blatantly.
After all, the impact is not good, and this impact can be big or small.
"You can try to contact them, but if they reject us once, they will naturally reject us the second time. Don't hold out too much hope."
"Mobile gaming is our key strategic direction right now. It's not worth it to go to great lengths to create a competing product for PC gaming. You said earlier that this model has already appeared in the overseas market for some time..."
"Then let's try to negotiate and see if we can get the agency. It can be used as a supplement to our PC game business. Okay, that's it. Let's adjourn the meeting."
For Tencent, which is now wealthy and powerful, being an agent for a game is already a trivial matter, and the huge traffic channels controlled by Tencent are enough to make game companies that want to get involved in the Chinese game market salivate.
Xiao Ma Ge sat at the head of the table, with a gentle and elegant temperament. After expressing his opinions in a relaxed tone, he stood up and left the meeting room in a graceful manner.
After all, it was time for dinner and Xiao Ma Ge was indeed hungry. As he was about to turn fifty, he naturally paid great attention to health preservation.
…
The promotion of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is still in full swing. In addition to the strong support from the pig factory, Zhou Dongsheng also generously arranged all the resources he had.
Especially for Xiaorenwu Media, which has already established itself in the live broadcast field, although it is unable to live broadcast the game content during the game suspension, it can work harder on video editing and highlights.
Naturally, Zhou Dongsheng handed this important task to Yang Fei, the head of the video department whom he promoted. After all, the compilation of "The Anchors Are Really Good at Playing" is not limited to the field of League of Legends.
In addition, the investment in short video platforms can also be strengthened. This can directly allow Yang Luyu to give the green light and make the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" the first advertising sponsor of the Douyin short video platform.
But he had just persuaded Yang Luyu to take a long-term view and not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. If he went back on his word now, it would damage Zhou Dongsheng's glorious image.
What's more, even if the Douyin channel, which currently has tens of millions of users, is added, it is just icing on the cake for the domestic promotion of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and does not play any decisive role.
For such a protracted battle, there is no need to go all in right from the start. After all, due to hardware limitations, it is still a bit unrealistic to achieve explosive growth in a short period of time.
On the contrary, the offline channel of Netfish Internet Cafe provided by Principal Wang is more reliable. No matter how popular the online publicity is, it will only be effective if the popularity spreads to offline.
It is natural that this fire is ignited in Internet cafes. As the Internet cafe activities of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are intensified, under the temptation of Internet fees and bonuses, naturally more and more players will be willing to step into this game.
As long as it starts, with the unique charm and freshness of the battle royale mode, are you still worried about not being able to retain players?
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know that he had attracted the attention of his fellow villagers again and was being targeted by Tengda again.
On the contrary, Zhou Dongsheng has begun looking forward to the grand occasion when the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is officially launched after this multi-pronged approach.
Even if we cannot immediately ignite the global chicken-eating craze, we must at least light a spark first before it can become a raging fire in the future.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Almost simultaneously with the domestic publicity campaign, there is also publicity in the overseas game market, but the intensity is naturally much smaller than that in China.
However, with the help of Zhuchang, it was still able to create quite a stir in the overseas market and attracted the attention and curiosity of some players.
And a small number of battle royale players have noticed "Brandon Green", a game developer who is quite famous in the battle royale game.
Whether it is Brandon Green's early battle royale works or the "H1Z1 King of kill" mode created for "h1z1", he has accumulated a lot of fame in the field of battle royale games.
It is not only recognized by the industry, but also by overseas players. With such a good example, these veteran players are naturally full of expectations for this game.
Even if... this game comes from the mysterious China, it is no exception.
At the same time, due to the different rules of overseas game platforms, the overseas trial version that the PUBG team has specially prepared for a long time has also been officially launched on the Steam platform!
