Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Meng Qian agrees with Jin Miao's words. Products and publicity are indispensable, otherwise he would not have to spend energy to promote the game. It is said that "Legend" was so popular at the beginning, "The Legend of God" might be popular without any promotion.

But Meng Qian didn't want to gamble on this possibility, not to mention that "Legend" had put a lot of effort into promoting it.

"The game is getting better in Hangzhou now, do you have any ideas for the next step?" Meng Qian continued to ask.

"Hangcheng is a model house. Next, I plan to use this model house to sell."

"It seems that we still need a detailed cooperation rules." Meng Qian said directly.

Jin Miao also nodded in agreement, "It's still the same sentence, a classmate, I don't want to play tricks with you, the performance of these few days can be regarded as my self-expression, if you are satisfied, I want Dafeng Kechuang regional agent."

Meng Qian controlled the changes in his expression, but he was a little surprised and happy in his heart, because Jin Miao's thoughts coincided with his own again.

About how to spread it across the country in this era when there is no online banking, Meng Qian has considered for a long time, and has hesitated between building a team by himself and using the agency model.

But a few days ago, when Jin Miao made himself aware of his wrong judgment on the sales side, Meng Qian's balance has tilted towards the agency model.

Although the agency model is relatively uncontrollable, this model is more convenient. I don’t have to deal with Internet cafe owners from first-tier to fifth- and sixth-tier cities one by one.

And there is another selfish reason. Meng Qian, who came from later generations, knows that there will be online recharge in a few years. At that time, the traditional channels will be very uncomfortable. , may lose money and manpower.

"Which areas do you want?" Jin Miao was direct, and Meng Qian was also direct.

"Shanghai, Jiang Province, Suzhou Province."

Meng Qian couldn't help laughing, "Your appetite is a bit big."

"I'm open to competition, if you have someone better, feel free to compare."

"Then how much discount do you want?"

"Since the company's previous sales have put the original policy foundation there, during the policy period, I will offer a 40% discount. After the policy period, we will adjust it."

Jin Miao's request is reasonable and unreasonable. What is reasonable is that he wants a 40% discount during the policy period instead of a permanent 40% discount. The so-called policy period is just a benefit for Internet cafe owners during the promotion period of "The Legend of God". , the previous policy was to give a minimum of 40% off, and then temporarily set up a policy of buying 100,000 for 50,000 for acting.

But these are all discounts during the policy period. After the policy period, it is impossible to give them such a big discount, otherwise the market will be chaotic.

So what makes it unreasonable is that Shanghai and Suzhou are actually very blank now. Before the company’s sales were mainly in the Jiang province area, Jin Miao offered him a 40% discount according to the policy period, but he went there. While developing the market, he has the final say on the policy below, and he can give people a 50% discount. As long as he has the ability, he can eat a lot of profits by using a policy period.

But after thinking about it, if he can really get a 50% discount, it is indeed his ability. As long as he can balance the market balance, he deserves to make this money, so Meng Qian immediately agreed, and the two studied the details of the agency contract together for a while.

On the morning of July 5th, "Biography of God" was officially launched.

In addition to offline promotion, "The Legend of God" is also advertised online, but in 2000 there was no game platform like 17173. Meng Qian mainly advertised on some game forums, followed by Maopu and Tianya.

The online promotion should still have some effect. In less than a day, the number of online downloads of "Biography of God" exceeded 1,000.

Looking at the captured Internet cafes in Jiang Province, Suzhou Province, and Shanghai, some of the downloads should be due to the effect of online publicity.

And the most popular place in "The Legend of God" is without a doubt Hangcheng.

On July 5th, all Internet cafes in Hangzhou had already installed "Biography of God", and 80% of the Internet cafes posted various promotional posters of "Biography of God".

After turning on the computer, the advertisement on the login interface was also "Biography of God". In the game category column, the most eye-catching one was "Biography of God".

Coupled with the word of mouth in a certain range in the past few days, many people came to the Internet cafes guarding the "Biography of God" on the 5th. Some people who have not been to the Internet cafes during this period can see the surrounding Many people are playing a game they have never played.

No matter what the reason is, people who come to the Internet cafe will take a look curiously, and then register an account to experience it. This is the advantage of not needing to order a card.

Then, everyone will feel the very fresh gameplay in this era.

"This game is interesting. I've never seen this type of game before."

"Yeah, how come there is a feeling of being unable to stop, even better than CS."

"The character modeling is also very brilliant, especially the female characters, which are very flavorful."

"You can start forming a team at the tenth level. You guys should quickly level up and go fight that stuff together. I can't do it alone."

"You're wearing a purple outfit? What kind of character are you? I'm still all fucking white!"

"Why did I fall off the leaderboard when I was still on the leaderboard, what else can I do to improve my combat power?"

"The ancient ruins are only refreshed once an hour. The probability is too low, so many people are robbing."

"What kind of divine transmission point can you buy strengthening materials? How do you get the divine transmission point?"

"The soldier was able to operate just now. I'll add a friend and bring him to our team."

"He also has the function of building a group here, and he can also speak. I will create a group so that we can communicate together when we spawn monsters."

"This Fengxin has a separate program that can be downloaded, which is quite convenient. You can continue chatting even when the game is not online."

"At level 20, you can build an alliance. I'll do a research and study, and I'll pull everyone in our class into the alliance. The alliance will have an advantage in killing monsters together."

"You can still get married in this game. Xiao Liu will marry your daughter-in-law. Look at the introduction and there will be a wedding ceremony."

"Let's stay up all night tonight. Hurry up to level 30. You can go to the wild land. If there are too many people, you won't be able to get good equipment."

"Biography of the Gods" has already become popular in Hangzhou.

At 12 o'clock in the evening on July 7, 2000, the number of simultaneous online players in "The Legend of God" exceeded 1,000, but more than half of the players were from Hangzhou. Meng Qian immediately shared the data and related information with Jin Miao who was in Shanghai. docked.

With the great success of Hangzhou City, Jin Miao started to visit Internet cafes in Shanghai the next day with the data and his own routines, and started his road of expanding the territory abroad.

On July 10, 2000, 15 Internet cafes in Shanghai reached a cooperation agreement with Dafeng Kechuang. According to the agreement, these 15 Internet cafes will promote "The Legend of God", but Jin Miao needs to give them a preferential policy of point card.

"The point card policy in Shanghai is different from that in Jiang Province. Will there be any problems?" Meng Qian thought about it and asked.

"Don't worry, they are all foxes for thousands of years. If you give them benefits, they will naturally control their mouths. As for dumping goods in other places, you can also rest assured that the discounts are limited. Besides, people here in Hangzhou want to bypass the agent to get a point card. If so, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that the lowest price is still me, and I operate in two lines, and they can't get around me."

On July 15, 2000, the game was launched for ten days, and the highest number of simultaneous online users exceeded 2,000. What is even more exciting on this day is that the point card sales exceeded 100,000.

The company got 60,000.

As for how much Meng Qian actually sold by the owner of the Internet cafe, I don’t know. What he pays attention to is the reaction of the players. He created a forum in the game, and he has been paying attention to the situation of the forum.

From the current point of view, my krypton gold system has not received much opposition. This is also because Meng Qian's current krypton gold system is still very light. Human RMB players can widen the gap too much at once through krypton gold. If you do this at the beginning of the game, it is likely to kill the game directly.

Moreover, the PK system is still very shallow, and there is only one strong P system, so players focus more on self-improvement, and the small gap in krypton gold will not make everyone care too much.

As for the gift pack, it was only five or ten yuan, and the value for money was very high. Not only did the players not reject it, they even seemed to like it a little bit.

"Maybe this is also a characteristic of this era of games?" Meng Qian was not expecting everyone's attitude towards gift bags.

When doing promotion in Hangzhou before, Meng Qian spent 150,000 yuan. The company actually has no money. The 60,000 yuan has stabilized Meng Qian's heart.

He first replenished a few servers, and then took out 30,000 for online promotion.

On July 20, 2000, the highest number of simultaneous online players in "The Legend of God" exceeded 3,500. The game downloads exceeded 50,000.

More and more Internet cafes outside the three provinces of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Jiangsu have begun to install "Biography of God".

At the same time, the problem that players from other provinces cannot buy point cards still arises.

On July 25, 2000, the sales of point cards of "The Legend of God" exceeded 300,000. Meng Qian directly made a big advertisement on the three major portals and other current mainstream websites and recruited agents nationwide.

This time the ad really worked, and the downloads of "The Legend of God" increased rapidly.

On July 30, 2000, Dafeng Kechuang signed the first provincial representative other than Jin Miao, Lin Shu from Fujian Province.

At the same time, the download volume of "The Legend of God" exceeded 200,000 on this day.

On August 5, 2000, "The Legend of God" launched a special event, the full moon event. On this day, the game distributed a lot of benefits, and players also celebrated the full moon in the game.

At 7:31 pm on August 5, 2000, with the cooperation of Welfare, the number of simultaneous online users of "The Legend of God" exceeded 10,000!

It took more than a month for "Legend" to achieve 10,000 people online at the same time. "The Legend of God" achieved 10,000 people online at the same time in a month under the premise that the promotion was frustrated at the beginning and the network speed was defective. The goal.

That night, the employees of Dafeng Science and Technology were preparing to have a late-night supper in the company. Everyone moved the table away and sat on the floor, which was considered a celebration feast.

In today's Dafeng Science and Technology Innovation, the technology department has expanded to 15 people, the art department has expanded to 7 people, 2 people have been added to the customer service department, 2 people are in the promotion department responsible for finding agents, and 3 people are in the game operation department.

Since the first batch of entrepreneurial teams laid a very good foundation for the atmosphere, the people who came later were not too pretentious, and the working environment of the entire company remained very good.

Before eating, Meng Qian could not help but say a few words, "I am personally very satisfied with the performance of "The Legend of God". One person, especially our original ten-person development team, is you who planted the new sprout of "Legend of God" on the ground where there was nothing.

In addition, I would like to thank two people in particular. The first person is Si Yuhang, thank you for changing yourself for the team.

The second person is Sister Sun, thank you for helping me cheat so many talents.

So, I won't say much, today is a special day for "Biography of God", it is a harvest, and it is also a new beginning, thousands of words, all in the wine! "

Meng Qian drank a glass of rice wine, and everyone else followed suit.

Afterwards, everyone ate, drank, chatted, and played games to their heart's content. From ten o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, the three-hour relaxation also released the busyness and pressure during this period.

Paying attention to the time, Meng Qian had no choice but to interrupt everyone's interest, "It's getting late today, everyone should go home early to rest, and I'm here to make an announcement.

Starting tomorrow, the company will start the secondary development of the Fengxin project. We will develop a very important thing:

Hyacinth Circle. "
