Chapter 158 When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem
Shen Miaomiao was very excited!
This is her first sub-bill, and it is also another attempt after making three consecutive profits in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Naughty Kitchen" and "Titanfall" without any harvest!
Over there, Gu Sheng was adjusting the web page.
Here, Shen Miaomiao prayed secretly.
The sky is full of spirits and the earth is full of spirits, I guess it makes me lose some money!
In total, it has been a year since her last loss-making "Long 4 Survival" project!
System brother!
Have mercy on the poor child!
You must know that it has only been more than two years since the establishment of Golden Wind!
Nearly half of the time I was making money and couldn’t lose a penny!
If this continues, our system will become a mere decoration!
I don’t want to lose 1 or 8 billion yuan. Even if you give me back tens of thousands of yuan, that would be some comfort!
Shen Miaomiao didn't know it, but when she thought about it, she felt that she was going to be extremely miserable.
She hasn’t had a rebate for a year!
This system made her use it, and it was true that it made everyone sad when she saw it, and shed tears when she heard it.
A sense of bitterness surged into Shen Miaomiao's heart, and Shen Miaomiao felt like she was going to cry.
We are all burdened with the system, so why is my situation different from that of the protagonists in those novels?
I read that the protagonists in those novels all have clothes to put out their hands and food to open their mouths. The system is eager to put all the wool in the world into the protagonist's pocket.
But my system, if it says it won’t give rewards, it really won’t!
Of course!
The lack of rebates for a year cannot be entirely blamed on the system.
Shen Miaomiao secretly glanced at Gu Sheng next to her.
Speaking of which, this terrifying whale is the culprit.
This guy never fails to take action.
Although from the perspective of her system, from "Cat Leo" to "APEX", nine projects have profits and losses.
but!
From the perspective of the rate of return of commercial funds, of all the projects from the establishment of Golden Wind to the present, none of them has suffered a loss!
Not only did you not lose money, you also made a lot of money, making crazy money!
How much was the starting capital for Golden Wind in the early days of its establishment?
500,000.
How much funding does Golden Wind have now?
According to the financial statements reported to the president’s office last month—
675 million.
This is it! Or after they emptied their fortunes to make the money back after Titanfall!
More than two years.
From 500,000 to 675 million.
1350 times increase year-on-year!
This is no longer crazy growth!
This growth rate is unreachable in any industry!
This is no longer a myth in the industry!
This is a god! The gods are coming!
Let’s not talk about others, it’s Shen Capital which has a huge vision!
From scratch, it has many industries and hundreds of subsidiaries!
No other company’s growth rate can be so terrifying!
It can be said that if Shen Miaomiao had not been systematic and could recruit Gu Sheng, the ultimate money maker, top producer, and invincible supernova, she should have built a golden body for Gu Sheng and burned three sticks of incense every day. Kowtow!
This is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!
So it’s no wonder that so many game manufacturers covet Gu Sheng.
Not because of anything else, just because this guy is so rich!
Although, the current volume of Golden Wind is less than 1 billion, and it is not considered a medium-to-large game manufacturer in the gaming industry.
But whether it’s its booming development momentum or the invitation from world-class manufacturers like Comella.
Everything proves the rapid rise of the golden wind.
Entering the 1 billion 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!
It is indeed something worth looking forward to for them to immediately enter the 1 billion club and become a medium-sized game company.
But know it.
If you say!
These nine games are all based on the best-case scenario and all losses are calculated, then—
The cost of "Cat Leo" is 10,000, and the rebate is 100,000.
"Who's the Daddy" cost 100,000 yuan and received a rebate of 1 million yuan.
The cost of "Vampire Survivor" is 200,000 yuan, with a rebate of 2 million yuan.
The cost of "Phobia" is 2 million, with a rebate of 20 million.
The cost of "Land of Survival" is 10.8 million, and the bonus card provides a 100-fold rebate, with a rebate of 1.08 billion.
The cost of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is 50 million, with a rebate of 500 million.
1 million for "House Kitchen" and 10 million in rebate.
"Titanfall" cost 170 million, with a rebate of 1.87 billion.
“APEX” costs 50 million yuan and has a rebate of 550 million yuan.
The total cost is 284.11 million yuan, and the total rebate is 4.0331 million yuan!
“Billion Club”?
Joke!
One billion club, I, Shen Miaomiao, can buy four of them!
and!
If the world line really develops according to this ideal situation, as long as she is brave enough, she will throw all 4 billion into the game market.
So!
With this wave of rebates, she will have 40 billion yuan!
What? You said that the largest game manufacturer in China is Xunteng?
Papa, give Xun Teng a big mouth. Do you think he dares to say anything?
With ten games, he immediately jumped to the top spot in the Chinese game industry. After that, with a little effort, he could overtake Ni Qimi and defeat the likes of Comella and Yunwei!
hey-hey…
Having a small daydream.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but let out a silly laugh, feeling happy for herself in another world line.
However, this situation is too ideal.
Gu Sheng is not an emotional game maker. If he really played like this, I'm afraid Lao Gu would have given up his job and left 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. She has a certain understanding of Gu Sheng.
He really loves this industry and this career. He is a true gamer and 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 deeds.
It’s not strange for those who don’t know.
What’s more, now!
My own system has been upgraded and I have a better new model for losing money.
Earning one dollar and losing another, Lao Gu can realize his dream of being a top designer and make a lot of money himself.
Whenever Lao Gu doesn’t want to do it anymore, or when she has earned enough, she will join Lao Gu and buy a big yacht with more money than they can spend in several lifetimes to travel around the world, eat and drink, and then...
“What are you doing with that fool?”
Gu Sheng's voice came, interrupting Shen Miaomiao's reverie.
"ah…"
Shen Miaomiao was startled and came back to her senses:
“Nothing, I suddenly thought of something happy.”
“You don’t think that APEX can make back your money in the first week like our previous games, do you?”
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is it impossible?"
“European server Kos is noisy!”
Gu Sheng was startled and looked at Shen Miaomiao in disbelief:
“What you have in mind is too beautiful. This is a free game, costing 50 million!”
“You want to get your money back in just one week? Do you really think this game is like robbing a bank?”
In order not to disappoint Xiao Nezha too much, Gu Sheng called up the "proportion of paying players" data on the China Entertainment website for free games released in the past six months.
It can be seen that according to statistics, the average proportion of paying players for new free somatosensory 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 has slowly accumulated from low to high.
This is the objective law of the game market.
“The proportion of paying players is accumulated over time, such as LOL and FireWire,”
“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, activities and gold points have emerged one after another. In addition, the market for the two games is becoming increasingly saturated, and the number of new players is getting smaller and smaller.”
“Under the influence of various factors, the paying player ratio of these two games can reach 87% and 92%,”
Gu Sheng gave little Nezha a vaccination and explained:
“It’s only been seven days, and we are very weak in both krypton gold points and related operational activities. In addition, the game is on the rise and there are a lot of new players,”
“When any new game is launched, players need to understand it, adapt to it, and build a relationship with the game, so the initial paying player ratio will not be high.”
While following the temptation, Gu Sheng slid the roller.
As he said, from the data summary list, the proportion of paying players for most new games is less than 5%, and occasionally there are a few that are close to 10%, but they are also very 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 formed through one activity after another. Accumulated by Bobo operation,"
“There is an essential difference between free games and buy-out games. The freedom of payment determines that no one can eat a fat man in one bite,”
Speaking, Gu Sheng slid the mouse to the [Sort Ratio from High to Low] button and clicked to refresh:
“If you don’t believe it, look at it, among so many new games,”
“Even among those with the highest proportion of paying players, it’s only...58.2%?!!”
“What the **** is this about me trapping you as a monkey?”
As the page refreshes!
See you!
At the top of the list, a bizarre statistic stands out, leaving many games of the same period far behind!
【58.2% (Because the data of this work is too high and has no reference value, it is not included in the average calculation)】
This value is so astonishing, so eye-catching, and so outrageous.
So much so that China Entertainment Electronics marked it with a separate eye-catching red color.
Looking forward along this bizarre and terrifying ratio value, four letters came into view—
《APEX》
The game with the highest proportion of new game paying players is theirs.
Up to 58.2%.
Gu Sheng:?
When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that I think you have a problem.
Huayu Dian, are you kidding me?
The statistics are 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, and you have deliberately excluded this data from the average statistics.
That is to say.
58.2% of paying players have been approved by China Entertainment Electronics!
“I...fuck!!”
In an instant, Gu Sheng's eyesight went straight!
This is really like robbing a bank!
Hurry up and find the weekly profit page and click to enter!
I heard next to me, little Nezha screamed in the same way!
“I...fuck!!”
On the large projection screen, the seven-day total sales data that had just been printed was clearly visible!
【APEX total sales per week: 62.44 million yuan】
Shen Miaomiao's pupils suddenly shrank!
The numbers that have been calculated countless times appear in my mind like a conditioned reflex!
【62.5 million yuan】
Excluding commissions, if you want to achieve a weekly profit, APEX’s turnover will reach 62.5 million yuan!
That is to say…
【Ding! Time's 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 in front of 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)】
【Project actual revenue: 49.952 million yuan】
【Project loss amount: 48,000 yuan】
【Project rebate amount: 528,000 yuan】
【Remaining time for settlement: 0】
【Ding! The loss settlement is completed and the rebate has been issued to the host’s personal bank card! 】
Immediately afterwards, Shen Miaomiao felt her phone vibrate!
A text message was sent—
【Your debit card account 1118, deposited 528,000 yuan via mobile banking transfer on August 24, with a balance of 533,775.68 yuan...】
The air in the apartment was stagnant for two seconds!
Go on!
Just listen to the exclamations of Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, rising from low to high, one after another!
“Holy shit…”
“Holy shit…”
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
“I rely on me, I rely on me, I rely on me!”
“I rely on me, I rely on me, I rely on me!”
Gu Sheng relies on this 58.2% paying player ratio, which is so terrifying that it is simply a mythical level data!
This undoubtedly means that their pass + non-attribute green krypton gold model is a great success!
In this world, a healthy, fair and green new path of krypton gold has been created!
And its impact is as far-reaching as the creation of the ‘second generation FPS’!
Gu Sheng is very happy!
Because it’s always been!
Gu Shengdu regards the words of the deceased former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in his previous life as his motto—
On my business card, I am the president of Nintendo; in my mind, I am a game developer; and deep down, I am a gamer. 】
This is the highest state of a pure gamer.
Gu Sheng loves games. He regards games as a second world that can keep pace with real life, a utopia for the soul.
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 perpetuate this kind of depression, whether you are a wealthy tycoon or a common person, the 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 status, wealth or class.
I may envy your family heirlooms, but you will also envy my hunting exhaust.
Here, we have only one name—player.
Gu Sheng is happy!
And Shen Miaomiao was even more excited!
Get your money back! Money back! Money back!
Oh my God, the earth! Which angel sister renewed this immortal energy for me!
Although a loss of 48,000 does not seem like anything!
But I can’t stand the 11 times high rebate!
520,000 seconds to arrive!
You need to know!
Her annual salary is only 500,000!
This is equivalent to giving her a whole year's salary instantly!
The most important thing is!
This is her second rise in the past year!
These 520,000 are not just 520,000!
The symbolic significance of its success is even higher than its actual value! !
Shen Miaomiao couldn't even control her excitement. There were tears flashing in her big eyes!
Amid the cheers, the two equally excited people looked at each other.
Shen Miaomiao jumped up with a loud sound and was about to pounce on Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng, who was so excited, also laughed and stretched out his hands!
But the next second, as the distance between the two people quickly shortened, a feeling of uncertainty and strangeness arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
Shen Miaomiao stopped the car with a creak, and Gu Sheng also raised his hands in embarrassment.
Gu, Shen:…
An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
After a long while, Gu Sheng finally opened his mouth, with a blush on his face: "…high five?"
As for Shen Miaomiao, she bit her lips lightly and stretched out her little hand: "...yeah."
Then, the two of them reached out to each other at the same time:
“Ah that…”
"Um…"
“Congratulations, congratulations…”
“Same joy…same joy…”
"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 to the bathroom.
Shen Miaomiao also turned her eyes and pretended to look at the data on the large projection screen.
Two people, in two directions, back to back.
But the curve of the corners of the mouth that can't help but turn up is so similar...
