Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

On the second day after Xuri Technology started work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the employees who had just come to the company were still a little confused and seemed to be immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. However, the company's top executives had already started the first meeting of the year.

The first meeting was held in the game department, where all the directors of the major game groups were present.

Last year, the total revenue of Rising Sun Technology's independent game department was 4.7 billion. Excluding various expenditures and development costs, the total profit was 3.1 billion, although it was impacted by the Demon Game before the end of the year.

Later, although they did not defeat Demon Realm, the revenue of the game department has been very stable. Therefore, compared with the previous year, the profit increased by 123%.

Among them, Fantasy and Swordsman generated the most revenue. Especially Fantasy, even though the game environment was invaded by Demon Realm in the months near the end of the year, its total revenue was still as much as 1.6 billion.

Swordsman 1.1 billion, these two accounted for almost two-thirds of the entire game group's revenue, followed closely by Legend of 800 million. Then there were more than 200 million from YY Game Hall and 400 million from various web games.

income received.

Qifan Hesitation has been doing updates last year, as well as various ways to improve its reputation to attract players, so the revenue is calculated separately and is not included in last year's income summary.

Generally speaking, even though the Demon Realm is coming in the second half of the year, and the game department of Xuri Technology has had a hard time, the harvest is still full.

From the big red envelope Yang Dongxu gave to the game department at the end of the year, it can be seen that the big boss still recognizes and affirms their achievements.

Of course, it's definitely for sure. The pressure on the game department is still very high. The senior management of Ninetowns Company has been well prepared. Whether it's a cheat or a private server, it's very easy to make a move.

It can be said that both black and white methods are used. If you find a private server, you will sue directly without any hesitation. While suing, someone will also hack the private server. It can be said to be a two-pronged approach.

Then the person who created the private server spent money to connect to the server, but before the money was returned, the game was gone. When I looked back, I saw that the police had blocked the door.

Not to mention plug-ins, no matter what kind of boss you are, no matter how much money you charge, as long as you find that the plug-in has been verified, your account will be blocked and will never be unblocked.

Anyone who wields this big stick is like a tiger, and anyone who dares to stick his head out will be hit directly with the stick.

With this method, the number of online players of the Demon Domain game has reached new highs.

It has only been a few months since the open beta of the Demon Domain game, and people are already opening the 38th service.

There are news reports that The9's executives are very confident about this year's performance, and have announced that they will open 100 servers to meet the increasing needs of Demon Realm players.

According to the current ultra-large-capacity server developed by Dongxu Technology, which can accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people per district, 100 new districts will go straight to the peak of 3 million total online people.

How awesome is it to open 100 servers in a year? Let’s put it this way: Legend is still very strong. The total number of opened zones is only 132. The number of players has soared this year. Fantasy Westward Journey only has 188 zones and Swordsman 176.

The Demon Realm is equipped with rocket thrusters and is ready to take off. This is a wake-up call for Sunrise Technology, which is accustomed to being the boss. It was first pursued and intercepted by World of Warcraft and now the Demon Realm.

Although the game department received a big red envelope at the end of the year, the pressure on both the management and the coders below was generally high. There was always a sense of crisis that if you don’t work hard, you will be rolled up and left immediately.

"After the beginning of the new year, the game department's overall revenue and player traffic have reached new highs. It is expected that the first quarter's revenue will increase by 33 percentage points compared with the previous quarter.

At the same time, Legend, Fantasy, and Swordsman have begun to launch new chapters. It is expected that the revenue growth in the next quarter will increase significantly compared with this quarter.

At the same time, in addition to chess and cards, the leisure game hall has negotiated with the Frozen Throne for the copyright of many games. They will be launched one after another in the next six months.

The newly developed game Bubble Hall is ready for public testing in three days..." Sun Yang sat and reported, while the others sat attentively, looking at the overall big data of the game department, as well as the individual data of the game group they were in charge of.

After Sun Yang finished his report, the conference room fell silent, and Yang Dongxu tapped his fingers on the table.

"Let's all talk about our opinions. Changhao, you go first."

"Okay." Chang Hao nodded, "Let's talk about the Legend first. Because Demon Realm and the Legend game are similar, the Legend game of Qun Nian has a greater impact on Nine Cities.

Therefore, after an internal meeting and discussion within the Legend game group, in addition to launching new maps and small fun gameplay, Legend is preparing to increase the level cap, raising the original level cap of 45 to 50, and launching new weapon and equipment sets.

.”

"Will this impact be huge?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.

It has to be said that raising the upper limit of the character level is a good way to revitalize players' enthusiasm for the game. But this method is a double-edged sword. While it gives players new motivation, it can accidentally crash the game.

For example, those who spend the most money in the game must be the high-end players. Not only are these high-end players not short of money, but also because they spend a lot of money, it can be said to drive the price transactions in the entire game area.

I finally spent hundreds of thousands to get a dragon-slaying and warrior set. It's great to kill people here. You suddenly come over there to upgrade your character level and launch a new set. The dragon-slaying knife in your hand will definitely be instant.

It doesn't smell good anymore.

After all, no matter how awesome these level 45 weapons and equipment are, they are definitely not as powerful as level 50 weapons and equipment, right?

It's not a good day to get something. It suddenly lost more than half of its value. It would be weird if these high-level players don't blow up. And once the high-level players quit the game, the game will not be far away from crashing.

"The impact is indeed great." Chang Hao nodded, "But it is imperative to upgrade levels and launch new weapons and equipment. However, in order to slow down the impact of upgrading levels and equipment on the value of weapons and equipment for high-level players.

The current solution to this problem from the Legend Game Group is a two-pronged approach.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! First of all, universal equipment such as the first step ring cannot be upgraded. The value of a good paralysis ring is half of the entire equipment. In this way, if the ring is not upgraded, only the value of the weapon and suit will be devalued.

, so the impact on the equipment market will be less than half.

The second step - smelting. Level 50 weapons and equipment are not directly exploded by killing monsters. The high-level BOSS in the new map only explodes materials for making advanced weapons and equipment.

Then use these materials to smelt the original level 45 equipment to upgrade the equipment level to level 50 and increase the corresponding attributes.

In this way, the currently valuable weapons and equipment at level 45 can no longer be sold and exchanged for a new set when they are upgraded to level 50. Instead, they can be smelted directly.

And weapons and equipment with better basic attributes will have better attributes after smelting than ordinary smelted ones. In this way, level 45 equipment is a necessary smelting consumable, and its value will not drop too much."

After listening to Chang Hao's words, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded. This method is indeed good. As long as the price drop of level 45 equipment and weapons is not too serious.

New maps, new levels, new equipment. High-level players who originally thought they had nothing to do except PK will instantly have the motivation to continue fighting, and the popularity of the game will definitely increase.

Changhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the big boss seemed satisfied with the plan.

To be honest, even though he got a big red envelope at the end of the year and received a wave of stock dividends, Changhao's life was not very good this year. After all, the one who had the greatest influence on the Demonic Domain was Legend, and he was the person in charge of Legend.

Now that the solution is finally out, even though all members of the Legend Games team will have to work overtime for some time to come.

But with the solution, everyone can work together and be happy even if they work overtime.

Then Xu Youzhen, the person in charge of Fantasy, Ma Fang from the leisure and web game group, and Qi Changwei from Qifan Platform all gave speeches.

On the whole, while maintaining their respective game advantages, they also proposed relatively targeted and novel game upgrades or modification plans.

This made Yang Dongxu very satisfied. Compared to the previous lifeless game department, with the catfish of Demon Realm swimming by, everyone instantly became full of fighting spirit.

After discussing the details with the supervisors of their respective game groups, the supervisors of these game departments left to do their work. Qiu Bosong and others came in to start the second wave of meetings.

Nowadays, in addition to the game department, technology is also an important part of the company.

Among them, after 361 handed over the web game to the casual game group, in addition to the video website business that will continue to expand this year, there is also a Weibo business waiting for Qiu Bosong.

Not to mention the YY side, which is now a grasshopper after the fall. The higher-ups are very entangled in this market, because anyone who is not blind has seen the ability of instant messaging software to attract traffic and attract money in the Internet industry.

Many people above are worried that this area will be monopolized by Xuri Technology, which will have a negative impact on the industry.

Therefore, the market in this area has been very restless during this period. The higher-ups are hesitating, and many people are gearing up to enter this area.

Therefore, YY must now step on the accelerator and start staking the market to avoid other competitors taking the opportunity to seize the vacant market after leaving.

There have even been rumors recently that Shengda wants to acquire CC’s domestic business, while Baidu seems to be very interested in MM’s domestic business.

One is the current absolute giant in the Internet industry, Chen Tongfu, and the other is an Internet super upstart who launched a satellite last year and is still shining brightly this year.

These two companies want to take root in the real-time chat industry, which is a big challenge for YY.

So last year, if the game department was deliberately cold-treated by Yang Dongxu to test the pressure, everyone felt that the pressure was too high and the New Year was not good. But now that the new year has just passed, the game department has come up with a solution to the current predicament and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

.

Now the employees at YY are starting to feel their breathing getting heavier, and they are ready to face the winter-level challenge.

The country's hesitant attitude toward monopoly and the two big guys' eager eyes on this industry are unbearable, let alone three at once.

Four people gathered together for a mahjong table, and the other three played against Xuri Technology. If one of them failed to do so overnight, Xuri Technology would most likely lose and lose their pants.
