The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

On the second day after Rising Sun Technology started to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the employees who had just arrived at the company were still a little dazed, as if they were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year and did not come out. And the company's top leaders have already started the first meeting of this year.

The game department was the first to hold the meeting, and all the directors of the major game groups in the game department were present.

Last year, Rising Sun Technology's game department alone had a total revenue of 4.7 billion. After excluding various expenses and development costs, the total profit was 3.1 billion, although it was impacted by Moyu games 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 have the most revenue, especially Fantasy, even though the game environment has been rushed by the Demon Realm in the months near the end of the year, but the total revenue is still as much as 1.6 billion.

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

Qifan Hesitation has been doing updates last year, as well as various promotions to attract players to pave the way, so the revenue is calculated separately, and it is not included in the income summary of last year.

Generally speaking, even though the Demon Realm is booming in the second half of the year, the game department of Rising Sun Technology has had a hard time for a while, but the harvest is still full.

From the big red envelope that Yang Dongxu sent 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 must be affirmative. At present, the game department is still under great pressure. The senior management of Ninetowns was well prepared before, no matter it was facing a cheater or a private server, it was very difficult to make a move.

It can be said that both black and white methods have been used. It is not a little hesitant to find that the private server directly sued. At the same time as the prosecution, someone hacked the server of the private server.

Then the person who got the private server spent money to join the server, but the money hasn't come back yet. The game is gone. Looking back, the police had already blocked the door.

Not to mention cheating, no matter what kind of boss it is, no matter how much money you rushed. As long as it is found that the plug-in has been verified and the direct seal will never be unblocked.

The one who wields this big stick is called a tiger, and whoever dares to stretch out his head is just a stick.

Under such means, the number of online players in Demon Realm has repeatedly hit new highs.

It has only been a few months since the public beta of Moyu game, and people have already opened the 38th service.

There are news reports that Ninetowns executives are very confident in this year's performance, and announced to the outside world that they will open 100 servers to meet the increasing needs of Evil players.

According to the current ultra-large-capacity server developed by Tunghsu Technology, a district with 20,000 to 30,000 people, 100 new districts, this is going straight to the peak of the total number of online users of 3 million.

How awesome is it to open 100 servers a year? Let’s put it this way, Legend is still very strong, with a total of only 132 districts. This year, the number of players has skyrocketed to only 188 in Fantasy Westward Journey, and 176 in Swordsman.

Moyu is equipped with rocket thrusters and is ready to take off. This makes Sun Technology, the boss who is used to it, first had World of Warcraft chasing and intercepting it, and now Moyu has taken the lead.

Although the game department got a big red envelope at the end of the year, the pressure on both the management and the coders below is normal. There is always a sense of crisis that if you don't work hard, you will roll up and leave immediately.

"After the beginning of the year, the overall revenue and player traffic of the game department have reached a new high, and it is expected that the revenue in the first quarter 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 of the next quarter will be greatly improved compared with this quarter.

At the same time, besides chess and cards, the leisure game hall has already negotiated the copyright of many games with the Frozen Throne. It will be launched successively in the next six months.

The newly developed game BNB is ready for a public beta in three days." Sun Yang sat and reported while the others sat upright, looking at the overall big data of the game department and the individual data of the game group he was in charge of.

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

"Let's talk about your views, Changhao, you come first."

"Okay." Changhao nodded, "Let's talk about the legend first, because the magic domain and the legendary game are similar, so the legendary game of Qunnian has been more impacted by Ninetowns.

So after the internal meeting and discussion of the legendary game group, in addition to launching new maps and small interesting gameplay. Legendary is planning to increase the level cap, raising the original level cap from 45 to 50, and launching a new weapon set. "

"Will it be a big impact?" Yang Dongxu frowned.

It has to be said that raising the upper limit level of characters is a good way to rejuvenate players' enthusiasm for the game. But this method is a double-edged sword. While giving players new motivation, one careless will crash the game.

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

They finally spent hundreds of thousands to get a set of dragon slaying and warriors. It's cool to kill people here. You suddenly came over to upgrade the character level and launch new suits. The Dragon Slaying Knife in this hand must lose its fragrance in an instant.

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

Things didn't feel good when I got them today, and suddenly they lost more than half of their value. It would be no wonder if these high-end players didn't fry the pot. And once the high-level players quit the game, it will not be far from the game crashing.

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

The current solution to this problem for the legendary game group is a two-pronged approach.

First of all, in the first step, general-purpose equipment such as rings will not be upgraded. A good paralyzing ring is worth half of the whole outfit. In this way, the ring will not be upgraded, and only the value of the weapon and suit will be depreciated, so the impact on the equipment market will be reduced by half.

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

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

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

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

Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded after listening to Changhao's words, 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. The high-level players who originally felt that they had nothing to do except PK instantly had the motivation to continue to struggle, and the popularity of the game would definitely increase.

Chang-ho was relieved to see that the big boss seemed satisfied with the plan.

To be honest, even if I got a big red envelope at the end of the year, I also got a wave of share dividends. But Changhao didn't have a very good life this year. After all, it was Legend that had the greatest influence on Shou Mo Yu, and he was the person in charge of Legend.

Well, the solution has finally come out, even if all members of the legendary game team will have to work overtime in the future.

But with a solution, everyone works together, even if they work overtime, they are happy.

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

On the whole, while stabilizing their respective game advantages, they have also proposed more targeted and novel game upgrades or changes.

This made Yang Dongxu very satisfied. Compared with the lifeless game department before, with the catfish of Moyu swimming by, everyone immediately became full of fighting spirit.

Discussed the details with the directors of their respective game groups, and then the directors of these game departments left to get busy. Qiu Bosong and others came in and started the second wave of meetings.

In addition to the game department, YY and 361 are also important components of the company.

Among them, after 361 handed over the web games 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 YY, CC and MM are now grasshoppers after autumn. The above is very entangled with this market, because anyone who is not blind can see the instant messaging software, its ability to attract traffic in the Internet industry, and its ability to attract money.

Many people above are very worried that this area will be monopolized by Rising Sun Technology, which will cause a bad impact on the industry.

So during this period of time, the market in this area is very restless, and the higher authorities are hesitating, and many people are gearing up to enter this area.

So now YY has to step on the accelerator and start staking. Avoid the blank market after the departure of CC and MM from being seized by other competitors.

Recently, it has even been rumored that Shengda wants to acquire CC's domestic business, and Baidu seems to be very interested in MM's domestic business.

One is the richest man Chen, who is the absolute boss of the Internet industry, and the other is the Internet super upstart who launched a satellite last year and is still shining this year.

It is not a small challenge for YY to take root in the corpses of CC and MM to enter the instant chat industry.

So if it was said that Yang Dongxu was deliberately cold-handled and tested by the game department last year, everyone felt that the pressure was not good for a year. And now that the new year has just passed, the game department is finally relieved to come up with a solution to solve the current predicament.

Now the employees of YY began to feel that their breathing began to become serious, and they were ready to meet the challenge of the cold winter level.

The country's hesitant attitude towards monopoly, and the two big bosses staring at this industry, one of them is unbearable, let alone the three coming together at once.

Four people gathered a table of mahjong, and the other three played one from Sunshine Technology. If one fails overnight, Rising Sun Technology is very likely to lose and become underpants.
