Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 489 The True "Genius"
As soon as the overseas trial version of "PUBG" was launched, in addition to attracting a large number of battle royale players in the battle royale game community, as a game , it naturally also attracted countless free players.
That's right, even in the overseas game market where buyouts are prevalent, the vast majority of players will still not refuse a game that can be tried for free, let alone a battle royale game with rich game content.
After all, in the near future, there will be a battle royale game that is better than the original, and it will kill everyone with the strategy of "free is the best".
No one can resist the joy of getting something for free, so on the first day of the release of the trial version of "PUBG", the number of downloads easily exceeded tens of thousands.
And precisely because the trial version is free, most players will not try this game with the same requirements and expectations as for 3A blockbusters.
Precisely because it is free, the vast majority of players enter the world of "PUBG" with an extremely tolerant attitude.
It is precisely because of this mentality that the vast majority of players receive unexpected surprises!
After all, it is the painstaking work of Brandon Green, the "Father of Battle Royale". Even if it is priced at $20, it can still sell 1 million copies in half a month...
Even though the game was released nearly a year earlier due to the influence of Zhou Dongsheng, the butterfly, there is no ambiguity about the quality of the game.
Even if it collides head-on with the popular "H1Z1", Brandon Green is confident that the quality of the game itself is not inferior to that of his former employer.
Not to mention his innovation in gameplay, one of which is long-range shooting...
This will definitely be Brandon Green's proudest work in the battle royale game. Brandon Green is naturally full of confidence in his masterpiece.
What's more, this game is released for free? If this is not recognized by players, Brandon Green will have to reconsider his career plan.
This is indeed the case. It was precisely because of the tolerance for free games that people downloaded "PUBG", but they did not expect that the quality of the game itself brought unexpected surprises to countless players.
It was like eating relief food but tasting a Chinese banquet. Such a surprise naturally made the players generous with their praise.
The first day trial sold over 10,000 copies, and also brought PUBG thousands of positive reviews. The positive review rate of over 99% was enough to quickly accumulate word-of-mouth on the Steam platform.
It also happens to be the weekend holiday, and with the good reputation, I believe it won’t be long before "PUBG" will attract the attention of more players.
Maybe even the official Steam platform will take notice of it. In that case, I believe PUBG will soon create its own myth!
…
The reputation accumulated in overseas markets will not be discussed for now.
Back home, the publicity work was still in full swing, and Zhou Dongsheng also received a call from Lu Sifang.
"Boss, the Tengda Investment Department has come to us again..." Lu Sifang said in a surprised tone.
Lu Sifang couldn't help but be surprised. In less than a year since he joined Dongsheng Investment, he had only done a few investment projects, but he had already alarmed Tengda Investment Department twice.
As one of the top Internet giants in China, Tenda has long turned into a capital dragon, running rampant in the capital market and is no longer a pure Internet company.
In the investment industry, compared with some old capital institutions, Tengda is definitely a leader among the new upstarts. Its foundation may not be as good as that of the old capital, but its strong capital strength is even stronger than that of the old capital.
According to Lu Sifang, Tengda's investment department has only about 20 people, but they are basically elite talents poached from major institutions, and all of them are well-known in the industry.
When the wealthy Tengda Investment Department was first established, it had a capital scale of 5 billion!
As we all know, the larger the capital in the capital market, the greater the advantages, but also the greater the difficulty in operating it.
Despite this, under the operation of this group of elite warriors, they easily achieved an impressive record of doubling their profits in just a few years. The investment scale is now conservatively estimated to be over 10 billion yuan.
As an industry insider, Lu Sifang had seen the recruitment for Tengda Investment Department before, but with his qualifications, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to reach the threshold in his lifetime. The gap between them was like a chasm, a world of difference.
However, it was unexpected that Dongsheng Investment had been established for less than a year and had only invested in a few projects, but it had received "favor" from Tengda Investment Department twice.
Although it sounds a bit humble, it is true. After all, many companies are proud to be "favored" by Tenda. If they join the Tenda faction, it is no exaggeration to say that the company's valuation can easily double.
Therefore, it is definitely an honor to receive investment from Tengda, so Lu Sifang feels that the word "favor" is very appropriate.
"Oh, Tengda reacted so quickly? Is it for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?" Zhou Dongsheng thought about it. Pinxixi had already rejected it once, but Huang Zheng had already agreed. He was probably still arguing with Tengda.
After all, Tenda’s social advantage is an indispensable piece of the puzzle in Huang Zheng’s social e-commerce blueprint. Without Tenda’s help, Pinxixi’s road to e-commerce miracle will obviously be greatly reduced.
But that is Huang Zheng’s business, and Zhou Dongsheng obviously will not give up the chips he has obtained.
Besides Pinxixi, which of the several projects invested by Dongsheng will not be targeted by Tenda in the future? It is just a matter of order.
At present, there is only the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds project. According to the original established route, neither "H1Z1" nor "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can escape the clutches of Tenda...
It's just that the former died too quickly, catching Tengda off guard. However, the revenue generated by the latter quickly doubled its losses, especially the mobile games...
But now, it's obviously a different matter.
"The boss is really a prophet. Should we still refuse?" Lu Sifang was amazed, and what remained was more of a personal worship of Zhou Dongsheng.
Especially after knowing Zhou Dongsheng's personal deeds, others might just think that Zhou Dongsheng was lucky, but for Lu Sifang...
There is no doubt that the boss is an investment genius with extraordinary talent, a one-in-a-million investment genius!
From the World Cup to the stock market and current investments, he has a keen eye and outstanding achievements.
After earning the first pot of gold in a short period of time and being invincible in the secondary market of the stock market and completing the original accumulation of capital, they are no longer satisfied with just speculating in the secondary market, but instead enter the primary market and begin to seek value investment...
Compared with the conventional investment strategy of casting a wide net to catch more fish, the boss obviously has unparalleled confidence in his investment vision and takes the investment route of focusing on quality rather than quantity.
With just a few investment projects on hand, he was able to alarm Tengda Investment Department twice. This is the best proof of the boss's extraordinary talent.
If this is not considered investment genius, then Lu Sifang really doesn't know what genius is.
The investment circle is precisely the place that most respects genius. After all, every bit of talent is linked to real money.
Just like the 20 people in Tengda Investment Department, each one of them is worthy of being called a genius.
