Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 492 Official Server Launch
Three days passed in a flash, and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which has been dormant for three days, will be officially launched on this auspicious time, Friday night.
Despite the overwhelming publicity, the battle royale game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has not become known to everyone, but it has at least sparked a heated discussion among gamers.
Whether it is an online game forum or an offline Internet cafe, there is no shortage of discussions about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The popularity is so high that even some Internet cafe owners are a little hesitant.
After all, ever since this game came out, most Internet cafes have received suggestions from customers, hoping to upgrade their equipment slightly. It doesn’t matter even if the Internet fee is a little more expensive, as long as they can play this game.
However, upgrading the equipment requires an investment of real money. In today's Internet cafe industry where people can only make a profit through drought or flood, whether the cost can be recovered is another matter. Who knows how long this game will remain popular?
Before the wave of the times comes, no one knows what is hidden beneath the wave, and we can only bear it passively.
Perhaps only those with foresight can get a glimpse of it, but such people are very few among the general public.
The concerns of the vast majority of Internet cafe owners are normal, and real "reckless men" like Chen Tianyu are obviously very rare.
After tasting the sweetness of the pilot [Chicken Eating Area], Chen Tianyu resolutely embarked on the road of expanding the [Chicken Eating Area] in the Internet cafe.
Not only did they upgrade the configurations of the machines in the Internet cafe one by one, but they also spent money to produce a batch of promotional materials during the three days when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was shut down.
They simply replaced the League of Legends banner that had been hanging at the entrance of the Internet cafe for several years with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and played up their distinctive advantage in eating chicken.
The Internet seems to call this... ah, right, differentiation! Chen Tianyu thought confidently.
After his observations in the Internet cafes recently, coupled with the overwhelming publicity online in the past few days, Chen Tianyu's confidence in this game has skyrocketed.
From the perspective of an Internet cafe owner, this game has the same characteristics as League of Legends, that is, customers often come in groups of three or two to play in teams.
This kind of game that can bring in a large number of customers is undoubtedly a guest of honor in Internet cafes. At the same time, because it is played by twos or threes of friends, it can greatly boost the sales of Internet cafes' beverages and food...
Chen Tianyu did some calculations and concluded that this game wouldn’t need to be popular for long. As long as it lasted for half a year, he would be able to make back his investment and earn some extra money at the same time.
As the saying goes, opportunity never comes again, so the sooner you seize the opportunity to make money, the better.
Even if this game is no longer popular, wouldn't Tianyu Internet Cafe, with its upgraded configuration, be more competitive than its peers?
After thinking it through, Chen Tianyu was also very decisive, just like when he decided to open this Internet cafe in the first place, he did not hesitate even though his family opposed it.
After all, opportunities are fleeting and only come to those who are prepared.
Seeing that the game was about to be launched today, Chen Tianyu gritted his teeth and directly paid out of his own pocket to organize a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Internet cafe event. The activity was very simple and crude. As long as you eat chicken in the Internet cafe, you will be rewarded with 100 yuan in Internet fees!
Chen Tianyu is not stupid either, he has played this game before and understood it well, he knows how difficult it is to win the game, he has only won the game once by luck!
After all, there are hundreds of players in each game, and every player who wins the game is a strong player picked out of a hundred!
Chen Tianyu just didn't believe that a small Internet cafe like his could be full of top experts picked from hundreds.
However, there are only a few Internet cafe owners who dare to take a gamble like Chen Tianyu. The main propaganda force of offline Internet cafes is still Netfish Internet Cafe.
With the support of shareholder Wang Xuezhang , and the fact that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds had already become popular within Netfish Internet Café during its public beta, the promotion was a natural success.
For Netfish Internet Cafe, which has already decided to take the high-end e-sports route and is deeply tied to e-sports, it is a natural fit for the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Although there are only a few hundred stores across the country, its user group consists of young and high-quality players with strong purchasing power. Even if there are only tens of thousands of machines, it is definitely a backbone force that cannot be underestimated.
Add to that the door-front publicity effects of hundreds of stores and Internet cafe activities, and the combined force is a considerable one.
As the weekend is approaching, Friday night also ushers in the peak traffic period for Internet cafes. Young people come in groups of three or four and pour into the Internet cafes, all with eager expressions on their faces.
"It's finally going to be officially launched. Three days, three whole days! Do you know how I spent these three days?"
"Is this game really as fun as you say? I don't believe it..."
“You’ll know once you experience it!”
"Okay, if it's fun, I'll buy you a drink!"
A few young people sat in a row while chatting and laughing, looking forward to the launch of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. As it was almost time, they simply opened the live broadcast platform.
The anchors who have tasted the sweetness of traffic on the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" naturally would not miss such a good opportunity and have already been gearing up and making full preparations in front of their computers.
During the public beta, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds had already conquered many anchors and viewers both in terms of gameplay and live broadcast effects. They willingly acted as fans and increased the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng was not stingy when it came to investing in live streaming events. Not only did he bring out his top anchors, he also directly cooperated with several live streaming platforms and together planned a "Chicken Night" promotion event.
Even though the vast majority of viewers watching the live broadcast are unlikely to become PUBG players immediately, it’s a good idea to train them as reserves first.
The host of the Chicken Night on the Shark platform is naturally Curly Baboon.
"Brothers, I, Paratrooper No. 1 Baboon, am ready! What do you say tonight? Let's have a good hunt! Hehehe!" The curly-haired baboon laughed excitedly.
"Hey, brother Kai, how about we make a bet? Let's see who can kill more tonight."
"Sure, Ma Fei. What are we betting on?" The baboon agreed readily.
"Let's just bet on a hundred boxes. Doesn't this game have a box opening system? A hundred rounds are just enough to satisfy me..."
"Okay, then you're ready to pay. I won't brag about my marksmanship, but it's awesome!"
…
Tonight, Zhou Dongsheng did not choose to take part in person. Instead, he sat back and took charge of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game company, ready to check the game data feedback after the server was launched in real time.
After all, we have done what should be done. The final result still depends on market feedback, and the real background data is undoubtedly the most intuitive display.
The old man Brandon Green is also full of expectations. The recent response of this game in the overseas market has greatly boosted Brandon Green's confidence. He is also looking forward to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" being able to make its first success in the domestic market!
After all, in his mind, the current "PUBG" is still just a newborn baby, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, which naturally requires financial support...
Sitting at the scene and looking at the numbers on the big screen, Zhou Dongsheng was very much looking forward to it. He couldn't help but have a sudden thought in his mind: was this also the original intention of Master Ma to organize the Double Eleven Gala?
Suddenly, the numbers on the screen started jumping!
The auspicious time has arrived, and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is officially launched!
