Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 1875 There are three ways to make money

How exactly does Lin Feng plan to make money? Not only Satoru Iwata and Howard want to know this, but even the representatives of major Japanese game companies hiding around are extremely concerned. For these game manufacturers, the "Dream" handheld console is so powerful that the game performance of the handheld console may be even better than that of the PS2. Such a vast game development space is a dream for all game manufacturers.

However, according to past practices in the console market, any game manufacturer that wants to enter a certain game platform and launch games has to pay a hefty "franchise fee". This is also to ensure the profits of the console manufacturer. After all, sometimes the console doesn't make money, it's the game software that makes money. As for Lam Fung’s “dream”, not only did it not make any money, it also suffered huge losses. In order to ensure a balance of payments, you must find ways to make money on software. Then the only way is to ask game manufacturers like them to charge high "franchise fees" and profit sharing fees.

How much does Lin Fenghui want? If it's more, I'm afraid no game manufacturer will be willing. After all, no matter how good a game is, its sales will be limited, unless it is a game like "Super Mario" that easily sells tens of millions worldwide. But even "Nintendo" itself only has a few games of this kind, so it's impossible to say that you can definitely make them if you want to. Then, the high franchise fees and profit sharing are unacceptable.

Many game manufacturers are thinking about it.

snort! snort! ——Iwata Satoru sneered in his heart. He knows very well what these Japanese game manufacturers think. At first we agreed to collectively boycott Lin Feng, but in the face of such a "dream" with such broad prospects, I am afraid that except for a few large companies that have enmity with Lin Feng, such as "Sega" and "Square Enix", I'm afraid other game companies are excited.

But as far as Satoru Iwata is concerned, Lam Feng will definitely charge extremely high "franchise fees" and "profit sharing". Otherwise, he cannot maintain the balance of his account. That would be equivalent to Lin Feng opening a company that swallows money. No matter how rich Lin Feng is, such a company will never last long. But if Lin Feng charges high "franchise fees" and "profit sharing," then he is digging his own grave.

Sheep out of sheep. In the end, game manufacturers will count this money on players. The current price of ordinary games in Japan is between 1xxx-3xxx yen. Only a few masterpieces sell for more than yen, but the most expensive ones are only in yen. According to Satoru Iwata's estimation, the minimum price of the game "Dream" may exceed the Japanese yen, and the masterpiece may even reach the Japanese yen.

Such an expensive game, haha, I’m afraid not many players will play it. By then, sales? Dream on! Of course, this may be a long time coming. After all, it will take at least 2 months for a game manufacturer to join "Dream" and release a game. During this period, the "dream" can only be supported by the games I play. Judging from Lin Feng's personality, I am afraid that the price of the games installed will not be high, but will attract players at low prices, boost "dream" sales, and create sales myths. This has always been Lin Feng's favorite thing to do.

Hum hum,

Then I'll see how you cry when I get there! ——Iwata Satoru sneered. When players face the sky-high game prices and the pitiful lack of games, they will definitely complain. Then, he would like to see how Lin Feng ends up!

"Iwata Satoru, it seems that Lin Feng has entered an infinite loop. Unless he lowers the 'franchise fee' and 'profit sharing', the 'Dream' will become the biggest bubble handheld console in history!" Howard also strongly agrees with Satoru Iwata's point of view. , "But if it decreases, then the 'Second Game' will not be able to make money. If it cannot make money, the company will not be able to operate. Haha, this is an endless loop!" Howard laughed heartily.

At this moment, the two of them were at peace. "Dream" is good, but too forward. After all, this is a handheld console, not a console. Consoles can be made more expensive, but handhelds cannot.

At the center of the stage, Lin Feng smiled slightly. He knew that there must be many people around here, many from Japanese game manufacturers, and they were all concerned about his next problem. Lin Feng believed that his next answer would surprise everyone.

"The next thing I want to say may not be directly related to the players present, but it is indirectly related. That is about the so-called 'franchise fee' and 'profit sharing'. 'Dream' will adopt a 5% minimum fee model." Lin Feng explained with a smile, "That is to say, the 'franchise fee' is cancelled. Any game manufacturer who wants to join 'Dream' only needs to give 5% of the sales of each game to our company as profit sharing."

5% – that was like a bolt from the blue.

It should be noted that the "profit sharing" of consoles and handheld consoles owned by "Nintendo" and "Sony" is as high as about 15%. Of course, some big-name companies will charge lower fees, but the minimum is almost %. "Dream" charges 5 % is really too cheap, ridiculously cheap. And there is no "franchise fee", and both "Nintendo" and "Sony" charge high franchise fees. Except for those famous game manufacturers who can reduce or reduce the "franchise fee", other game manufacturers But no one was spared.

Many game manufacturers have made some moves. If they only charge a 5% "profit sharing fee", then they can think carefully about whether to open a game for "Dream". Although they are Japanese manufacturers and are hostile to Lin Feng, they can obviously make a lot of money by creating gods, so there is no reason why they can't make money. What's more, when "Microsoft" x entered Japan, major Japanese game manufacturers also called for a boycott of Microsoft. As a result, there were not so many game manufacturers developing games for "x", including many well-known game manufacturers.

This time, game manufacturers like them will not suffer such a loss again. When it's time to make money, you have to make money, otherwise after passing this village, this temple will be gone.

Lin Feng glanced at the game manufacturer representatives who had already revealed their faults, and smiled softly.

"As for why it has an indirect relationship with all players? In fact, if our company asks game manufacturers to charge less, then their development costs will be cheaper, and naturally the price of the game will be lower. This is also a disguised form. It benefits players. So here, I call on all game manufacturers not to sell their games too high. If it is cheaper, the players will buy more, but the profit will actually be the same," Lin Feng said slowly.

At this time, all the players started to applaud. Although these players are still quite dissatisfied with Lin Feng, a Chinese, competing against Japan for the election, they are still very happy that Lin Feng's concession is in favor of the players. They have to admit that compared to the greed of "Nintendo" and "Sony", Lin Feng is really too generous. Moreover, as a company owner, it actually called for a price reduction. This kind of behavior is something that other Japanese game console manufacturers have not seen.

idiot! ——The expressions of Satoru Iwata and Howard changed immediately. Lin Feng's move was equivalent to putting "Nintendo" and "Sony" on the fire. This move was so vicious that it directly won the hearts of all players. After all, for players, Lin Feng's hand is not related to Japan's campaign. Anyway, this kind of political game is ultimately a place for big shots to compete. For ordinary people, it is just a show. For players, it is not as important as playing a few fun games.

But games cost money, and they cost a lot of money (there is no piracy in Japan). Therefore, many players in Japan will play a game until they get tired of it before changing games. After all, it was bought with huge sums of money, unlike in China where it is completely free. But no matter how fun the game is, it will get boring after playing for a long time. Therefore, if the price of the game can be reduced, it will definitely be good news for Japanese players. Naturally, he will also have a good impression of Lin Feng. As for "Nintendo" and "Sony" who only want to make money, they will undoubtedly become negative teaching materials and the target of verbal criticism from players.

"Satoru Iwata, he charges such a low 'profit sharing fee', how does he make money? Is he really prepared to spend tens of billions of dollars every year to keep the company running?" Howard couldn't believe his own inference.

Iwata Satoru's face was full of ferocity at the moment. He didn't know how Lin Feng planned to make money? Looking at it now, it is impossible for Lin Feng to make money from his "dream". You can’t make money on hardware, and you can’t make money on game software either. How can you make money with such a small profit sharing fee? Is he really planning to use money to hit the market? This is not impossible. For example, "Microsoft" spent 100 million. But according to Lin Feng’s plan, this method may not even cost tens of billions of dollars!

Is he crazy? Is he really here to give back to Japanese players?

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously at the place where Satoru Iwata and Howard were hiding. Lin Feng knew about these two guys from the moment they entered Ueno Park. But Lin Feng was too lazy to point them out. If they didn't want to peek, let them peek. Lin Feng will take this opportunity today to defeat their confidence. In the future, I will use my strength to completely destroy them.

As for not making money, losing money? This is not what Lin Feng wants. No matter how rich Lin Feng is, if he pays tens of thousands of yen per unit, Lin Feng will have to pay to his death sooner or later. Therefore, Lin Feng has three ways to make money: first, by selling games. Indeed, the "profit sharing fee" of this game is very small for Lin Feng, only 5%, and there is no "franchise fee". However, Lin Feng has always been interested in small profits but quick turnover. As long as the sales volume increases, he can make a smaller profit. But if you have more, it will be considerable.

What's more, what Lin Feng values ​​most is the games he develops independently. This is where real money comes from! For example, "Dream" has now launched a total of three main games. Lin Feng believes that just by relying on these three main games, he can make back the money he loses on each "Dream". Of course, the premise is that each machine purchases these three main games. However, Lin Feng believes that Japanese players will definitely buy it.
