Build Madness

According to the official research report, in the first two quarters of 2002, Tianyu's share in the domestic game market exceeded 87%.

The main products not only include Dragon Legend, Dragon Cultivation, Tribe and Alliance, Kart, Audition, 3D Martial Arts, but also a series of small games covered by Tianyu game platform, such as Xiaoxiaole, Lianliankan, Word Cultivation, My World, Bejeweled, Gold Miner, Escape from Ancient Temple, Deep Sea Fishing, Plants vs. Zombies...

And the upcoming horizontal version of the ancient style fighting online game "Famous Generals Three Kingdoms", the shooting battle online game "Tank War", the sci-fi online game "Mecha World"...

Adding up the odds and ends, the number of large-scale end games is catching up to double digits, and the number of small mobile games is as high as more than 200.

Although it seems that the number is scarce, each one is a high-quality product, rather than changing the soup without changing the medicine, changing the skin without changing the heart.

In other words, the development team worked hard.

The game is fun, durable, and classic, which also pushes Tianyu to the throne of a benchmark enterprise in the game field.

As long as there is a new game released outside, players, commentators and news media will definitely compare it with Tianyu's products.

From screen themes, to gameplay settings, character modeling, numerical calculations, career balance, to the sense of combat strikes, game fluency, client optimization and operating environment compatibility...

If it can beat Tianyu in one aspect, this game will most likely become popular.

It can be seen from this that Tianyu has accumulated influence in a short period of time.

But everyone knows that even though Tianyu International has changed two chairmen, it has been spending money in the game field.

Just like the legend of Shenlong, ten thousand people attacked the sand, Tianyu not only distributed the billions it earned as event bonuses to players, but also lost tens of billions worth of first-generation SG game consoles because of the lottery.

Just like Shenlong Xiuzhen, Tianyu not only built Taixu Temple and Xuanwu Pass in Siberia, but also planned to build Huasheng Temple in Nanhe, Yijian Tingyu Pavilion in Bashu, Qixiufang in Jiangnan, and the ancient city of Loulan in the desert...

Just like 3D martial arts, Tianyu not only launched the "realization of virtual props", distributed figures and diamonds to countless players, but also went to Fengdu to restore the ghost town...

It can be said that in the eyes of outsiders, if Ge Laoer had no money, Tianyu would have gone bankrupt long ago.

It's just that what people don't know is that Tianyu has subtly stimulated the appetite of the players.

Take Jianwang as an example.

It was well received in the first month of its release, and the fashion system was launched one month later.

Although there is no other time and space with 468 red notes for a set of clothes, 568 red notes for a box of white hair, and 688 red notes for a cloak, the virtual items launched by point card games are 68, 98, 168 in terms of current prices in order to make money. , also not cheap.

I have played Shenlong Xiuzhen and 3D martial arts, and I know that buying fashions will give you ancient cultural products. Players spend so much money to buy a set of fashions, but find that they can only watch them in the game, and even occasionally wear models. It must be very uncomfortable, and even lead to psychological imbalance. ...

Then consult the official: Do the scenes in the game exist in reality?

Game developers only make games, so how can they have the ability to produce real objects, so patiently reply: games are virtual worlds, and reality certainly does not.

Players are even more unbalanced.

"Co-authoring me to play your game, just asking me to spend money, not even a free tour? Why does Tianyu have it?"

Game developer: "..."

Many online games launched in May, after going through the stage of "new games attracting popularity", finally couldn't bear the loss of a large number of players, and failed to recover the cost, so they closed their servers or went bankrupt.

Only two of them listened to the players' suggestions and ordered ancient cultural products from 'Splendid China', and they managed to turn the tide and retain some of their popularity.

For this, Ge Xiaotian didn't feel guilty at all.

In the past two years, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, games were synonymous with "Internet addiction", "spiritual porn", and "playing things and losing one's mind". Parents regarded it as a scourge, for fear of ruining their children.

However, with the promotion of competitive games, puzzle games, puzzle games, and learning simulators, more and more people accept the concept of "moderate games to benefit the brain".

Coupled with the accelerated pace of life and a substantial increase in salary income, many people have also begun to try to play games to relax their tight nerves.

The number of players has increased, and the game industry has ushered in a wave of consumption.

But the problem is that people's consumption level is limited, and the game props are just a certain value, which seems to drive economic growth, but actually does not help the reality, and may even lead to the collapse of the real economy...

For example: Player A has a budget of 500 red notes this month. He planned to buy a home appliance but charged it into the game. Then the "household appliance" he should have bought was not sold in the end, which would affect processing, production, transportation, and sales. , that is, the industry will reduce production in an all-round way.

One A player is inconspicuous, but what about a thousand A players? What about 10,000 A players? What about 100,000 A players?

When a game company goes public and millions of players deposit money, the money will be diverted overseas...

Conversely, if we look at domestic industries, if we lose so much consumption, we will definitely lag behind the ebb and flow overseas.

Therefore, 'a game company that does not engage in industry is not a good company'.

This is Ge Xiaotian's game concept.

And when players get used to the link between virtual props and real objects, it means that Tianyu redefines "game" and walks out of China's unique development path.

That's why, Ge Xiaotian thought about it seriously, and called You Minxing, "To realize virtual props, we can't just focus on these few end games, but also add mobile end games and mobile end games."

"But... mobile games are easy to talk about, how about small games? Like Lianliankai, Xiaoxiaole, you don't need to buy fashion, and you can't show off if you buy a title. It seems that there is no entry point for virtual props to be realized."

"Can you change your mind?"

"Um?"

"For example, Xiaoxiaole, as long as you reach a certain achievement, you can get a certain reward. For example, if you eliminate 1 million sunglasses, you will get sunglasses in real life. For example, if you eliminate 1 million eggs, you will get ten catties of eggs in reality."

"???"

"Similarly, in Lianliankan, you can also add additional fish, grains, and daily necessities."

"However, you don't need to charge money to play this kind of game. If you do this, you will definitely lose money."

"What is my definition of a gaming platform?"

"Publicity platform."

"That's right! Propaganda, as long as this way of playing can attract popularity, it is equivalent to saving a lot of advertising costs, and then... whose sunglasses are used? Whose eggs are used? Will it be sponsored, will it be sold? Ad space?"

"..."

"Not only that, but you can also add 'Easter Eggs'. Anyone who finds an Easter Egg may win diamonds, antiques, or even sports cars... This boss guarantees it."

"Okay... okay."

You Minxing was dumbfounded by Lei, and he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed.

………………

Tianyu moved quickly.

Early the next morning, countless players who liked small games suddenly found that the game page had changed.

At the top, Boss Ge, the big-headed manga version, is wearing an ancient costume, with a golden lock on his chest, holding a jade ruyi, and driving a golden sports car. "Bang, a diamond fell from the sky..."

Player: "..."

Ge Xiaotian doesn't play small games, so naturally he doesn't know about all this, let alone You Minxing's advertisement of "Fan conquers the world".

After dealing with the matter of 'Deepening the Realization of Virtual Items', I discussed the feasibility of 'Sky City' with Chief Engineer Liang. Two days later, the All the Way West investor meeting finally came to an end.

The labor dispatch company has been busy for more than a month and has also absorbed 250,000 new employees.

The next step is to refer to the detailed plan made at the investor meeting, and according to the industrial parks at Shangxiadaokou in various places, arrange employment for new employees nearby, or support old employees to start businesses.

The monk was in charge of this matter, and Ge Xiaotian didn't need to worry about it. After sending away many overseas investors, he left Jinxiuchuan University City and took a boat to Daqingshan Aerospace Department, preparing to upgrade the town center.

Wait until you get the new technology, then go to Nanhe, go to the countryside to see what changes the "All the Way West" has brought to the location, and deal with the two construction difficulties encountered by the All the Way West Expressway: the Taihang Tunnel and the Rocket Bridge.
