Technology: Start by selling mobile phones

After negotiating with "Onmyoji", Mo Ran immediately flew back to Chengdu.

At the next stop, he was going to talk to "Glory of the King".

On the Tianmei side of the "Honor of Kings" project team, Mo Ran is naturally much more familiar with NetEase's "Onmyoji".

In the past six months, Nietzsche's "Luban No. 8" has been the main sponsor of the "Honor of Kings" competition, and its cooperation with Tianmei, the "Honor of Kings" project team, has been quite pleasant.

After the first few cup games were held, the professional league of "Honor of Kings" also kicked off. As a game-specific machine, "Luban 8" has always performed very stably, with almost no malfunctions in the professional arena.

The players of "Honor of Kings" have gradually changed from the initial "distrust" to praise and trust. Naturally, the project team also likes this kind of game-specific machine with less trouble and stability.

so.

When Mo Ran came to discuss cooperation in person, the "Honor of Kings" project team took it seriously.

but.

To Mo Ran's surprise, when he arrived at the headquarters of "Honor of Kings", he was not only greeted personally by the head of the project team, but also his "old friend" Zhu Xiaobin, whom he had not seen for a long time, was also waiting for a long time.

It was the one who took 400,000 yuan from Mo Ran.

Zhu Xiaobin, the former head of the business development department of "Honor of Kings", eventually made "Luban No. 8" the main sponsor.

Why is he the former head of the business development department?

Because as "Honor of Kings" continues to be popular, professional competitions are also being held with great success, and Zhu Xiaobin has been promoted.

His current position is the deputy manager of Tencent’s mobile game business development department, and he is responsible for several popular mobile games.

"Mr. Zhu, long time no see. I heard that you have been promoted?"

Mo Ran also knew the news and asked enthusiastically when they met.

Zhu Xiaobin's face glowed red, and he was very happy with Mo Ran's approach of mentioning happy events as soon as they met.

To be honest, he has always had a good impression of Mo Ran.

Collecting money is one thing.

The key is that Mo Ran can do things beautifully, so that no one can fault him, and he doesn't bother himself on weekdays.

He really likes this kind of partner.

"Haha, Mr. Mo, you are really well informed."

"But, it's the same in every position. It's all about doing work and it's all about the company."

Mo Ran quickly gave a thumbs up, with a serious expression.

"You are really enlightened!"

"Thank you very much, thank you very much."

After the words fell, the two smiled tacitly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiaobin personally introduced Cui Yikai, the leader of the "Honor of Kings" project team, and another colleague to Mo Ran.

After Mo Ran shook hands with each other enthusiastically, the four of them walked towards the prepared reception room.

On the way, Zhu Xiaobin opened up the topic and started chatting.

"Mr. Mo, I heard rumors in the industry recently that your Nietzsche company is currently discussing cooperation with NetEase's "Onmyoji"?"

"Um?"

Mo Ran was stunned for a second, but then he didn't hide anything.

With Tencent's size and connections in the gaming field, it would be easy for them to know the news about his contact with NetEase's "Onmyoji".

"You are truly well-informed."

"Yes, we do intend to cooperate with "Onmyoji"! In fact, I just flew back from NetEase headquarters today and have already signed a naming agreement with them."

“In the next two years, our ‘Luban No. 8’ mobile phone will also become the sponsored mobile phone of ‘Onmyoji’.”

Mo Ran's frankness made Zhu Xiaobin nod frequently.

After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems that you really want to turn this 'Luban No. 8' phone into a 'game-specific phone'!"

"In addition to cooperating with us on "Honor of Kings", we are also developing new mobile games."

"However, I have to admit that your 'Luban No. 8' is indeed unique in game tuning. Even the new gaming phones from Huawei and Xiaomi cannot achieve the same effect as you. They are not as good as you." !”

"Now the 'Luban No. 8' is going to be updated. I'm looking forward to it."

After the words fell, Cui Yikai, the person in charge of "The King" and another colleague also echoed:

"Indeed, we have conducted many internal performance tests, and our 'Luban No. 8' is indeed powerful and ranks first."

Mo Ran was a little flattered and kept being polite.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaobin smiled and whispered:

"Mr. Mo, I can tell you some news in advance."

"I don't know if you know that at the beginning of the year, there was a computer game called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" that was very popular abroad. Now our mobile game department is working hard to reproduce the mobile version of this game 1:1."

"If nothing else goes wrong, this mobile game tentatively titled "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Exciting Battlefield" will be launched for public testing in two months. If you are interested, I can be the main sponsor, naming rights, etc. of this game. Give it to you first."

"It just so happens that I am also responsible for the commercial development of this game."

Mo Ran's heart beat heavily twice.

A few months ago, he specifically asked Hao Keji to look for the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Stimulating Battlefield" because he hoped to use it in "Luban No. 8" as a key promotion for the second game.

It was only in the end that I found out that it had not been released yet, so I finally chose "Onmyoji". I didn't expect to hear the news about this game here today.

but.

Although he was a little excited, there was no abnormality on his face.

He even showed a puzzled expression and asked:

"Mr. Zhu, are you very optimistic about this game?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of four people came to the reception room.

Cui Yikai, the person in charge of "The King", was sitting across the conference table opposite Mo Ran. On the contrary, Zhu Xiaobin was sitting on the left side next to Mo Ran.

Taking advantage of the break in pouring tea, Zhu Xiaobin continued:

"Of course I'm very optimistic about it, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to you!"

"Now the PC game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is very popular abroad. If we make a 1:1 restored mobile game, it will definitely become popular on the entire Internet."

"How's it going? Are you interested?"

Mo Ran also knew not to go too far, so he stopped refusing and nodded in agreement.

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your recommendation. When your game is released for public testing, I will definitely talk about it as soon as possible!"

"readily!"

After saying this, Zhu Xiaobin looked at Cui Yikai, the project leader of "The King" sitting opposite.

"Yikai, I've delayed you for a while, now it's time for you to discuss cooperation with Mr. Mo."

"No delay, no delay!"

Cui Yikai waved his hand hurriedly.

Zhu Xiaobin was promoted from the head of the business development department of "The King", and now he is the vice president of the group's mobile game department. Strictly speaking, he is also his immediate boss. He does not want to offend.

and.

He also knows very well that it was Zhu Xiaobin who pushed "Luban No. 8" to become the sponsor of the "Honor of Kings" competition.

This time Zhu Xiaobin came to receive Mo Ran in person, which actually showed that he had a good relationship with Mo Ran. He would definitely have to lose some face when talking about cooperation with Nietzsche.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mo Ran and said softly:

"Mr. Mo, let's talk about the content of this cooperation."

This time Mo Ran is also very simple about the content of his cooperation with "Honor of Kings".

Compared with the card drawing in "Onmyoji", MOBA 5V5 competitive games like Honor of Kings only have "game skins" and "hero experience cards".

So Mo Ran proposed a plan that was similar to "Onmyoji".

One is:

As long as you use the new version of "Luban No. 8" mobile phone and log in to "Honor of Kings" through the "Tudou OS" system, you can immediately get a permanent skin (randomly).

two is:

Those who stay online for seven consecutive days and complete a game will receive a "gift package" lucky draw opportunity.

If you complete the task every week thereafter, you can get a lottery opportunity again every week until the end of the event.

After quickly consulting the technical department, Cui Yikai immediately said that there would be no problem in holding such an event.

The key point of discussion between the two parties lies in some details, such as the lottery skins in the "gift package".

"My idea is that since we are launching this event, it must bring benefits and sincerity to gamers."

"It would be meaningless if the 'gift package' is full of bad skins on the market. Players are not fools. If the event is not good, it is better not to do it."

"So, before coming here, our colleagues from the 'Mobile Business Department' made a list. In addition to all the skins currently on sale in the mall, we also hope to add several out-of-print skins that are very popular on the Internet. "

"For example: Arthur's Lionheart King, for example: Old Master's Santa Claus and several other skins."

Cui Yikai took a look at the details handed over by Mo Ran and immediately smiled bitterly.

"You are really well prepared, but you are really making things difficult for me."

"Other skins are fine. The skins you mentioned are completely beyond the scope of normal activities. Even if we hold activities ourselves, we will not put them into the lottery pool."

"After all, these limited edition skins are out of print in a sense, and we plan to do so."

Mo Ran knew about it and naturally knew how rare these out-of-print skins were.

but.

What is the purpose of personally visiting the "Onmyoji" headquarters and the "King of Glory" headquarters this time to personally promote activities?

It is not simply about selling more "Luban No. 8" mobile phones. The biggest hope is to try to solve the current dilemma of "Tudou OS" by leveraging the popularity of the games "The King" and "Onmyoji".

"Tudou OS" was launched on "Nietzsche A8" before, but the effect was not very good. Since normal methods are not enough, some abnormal methods are used.

As we all know,

The S7 and S8 seasons of "The King" are now the most popular peak moments. There are as many normal players as there are many Internet-addicted teenagers.

To put it harshly, what can’t the internet-addicted teenager above do?

Isn’t it just using “Tudou OS” to log in to Honor of Kings?

You can also get extremely rare rare skins by playing games, and that’s it!

and.

Not to mention Internet-addicted teenagers, "King of Kings" is now extremely popular. At this time, there is an unprecedented "limited edition skin lottery event" that may even ordinary players go crazy.

I will also think of ways to cheer up!

This is your chance to draw “rare skins”!

This is an opportunity to "pretend"!

And as long as this group of fanatical gamers use "Tudou OS" to log in to "Honor of Kings" for a period of time... wait until "Tudou OS" has a certain base of active users!

Mo Ran is certain that there will be software manufacturers willing to log APPs into "Tudou OS", thus slowly moving towards a positive ecological cycle!

so!

Mo Ran looked at Cui Yikai and showed a friendly smile.

"I understand Mr. Cui's concern, but we have also calculated that the winning rate of rare skins is not high.

In addition, this event is only for "Luban No. 8" mobile phone users and not for all players. The chance of winning rare skins is definitely lower, and the impact on the game is almost negligible! "

"Maybe I won't be able to get a single rare skin during the entire event."

Cui Yikai did not answer Mo Ran directly.

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then looked at the activity plan in his hand, and finally landed on Zhu Xiaobin.

After two full seconds, he looked away and looked at Mo Ran:

"Mr. Mo, what you said does make sense."

"Moreover, as the main sponsor of our "King", even if your requirements are somewhat unreasonable, we will definitely still support your work!"

"Besides, holding activities is also good for our brand promotion of "The King"."

After the words fell, Zhu Xiaobin, who was sitting aside, laughed first.

"That's right! Yikai, your consciousness has improved very quickly! With a leader like you, "Glory of the King" will definitely get better and better!"

“It’s all well taught by the leaders!”

After hearing this, Mo Ran couldn't help but smile on his face and slowly exhaled.

After discussing the details, the final step is to negotiate the price.

After all, the skins in the lottery are also valuable. If Nietzsche wants to organize a lottery to give away skins, he will naturally have to pay.

but.

On the contrary, neither party had much entanglement on the price, and finally settled on:

The "Luban No. 8" lottery lasts for three months, and each account can have up to 5 lottery opportunities per month.

Nietzsche paid a total of 3 million yuan in activity expenses, which works out to 1 million yuan per month.

Regarding the price, Mo Ran knew that Cui Yikai gave him a preferential price for Zhu Xiaobin’s sake;

Secondly, "Honor of Kings" is very popular now, and the revenue from individual skins is hundreds of millions. Naturally, Cui Yikai doesn't care too much about the difference.

certainly.

After happily coming out of Tianmei Studio of "Honor of Kings", Mo Ran immediately asked Wang Fugui to prepare 30 brand-new top-of-the-line "Luban No. 8" models that were not yet on the market and sent them to Cui Yikai.

Regardless of whether the other party was doing it for Zhu Xiaobin's sake or for other reasons, since he helped, he had to express it somewhat.

Whether he gives thirty mobile phones to his family and friends or distributes them to department colleagues, it is still a small favor for Cui Yikai.

As for Zhu Xiaobin, Mo Ran was not in a hurry.

He and Zhu Xiaobin are already considered "old friends", and the two sides have a tacit understanding. Next time they talk about "stimulating the battlefield," Zhu Xiaobin's share will naturally not be missing.

After handling this, Mo Ran returned to the office, closed the door, and couldn't wait to enter the system.

The rewards for June’s “Air Conditioning Mission” can already be settled. It’s just that I’ve been too busy these past two days to pay attention to them, and now I’m finally free!

【Ding……! 】

Mo Ran sighed with regret, then opened the first reward without any further ink.
