Chapter 71 Xue Mingtao Returns
The game "Plants vs. Zombies" was launched on the game star website on the third day, that is, 72 hours later, the data of the background downloads has reached 1.8 million!
This is an extremely gratifying statistic!
Since the establishment of the game star website, although the number of users has reached tens of millions, there are no games that can achieve this kind of data in just three days!
It's not that there aren't any more popular games on the site than "Plants vs. Zombies", it's just that those games didn't have such high download data when they first launched!
After all, as a stand-alone game, "Plants vs. Zombies" is completely free, which is still very attractive!
With such a high download data and a good momentum of development, in the past few days, those businesses who called Chen Ping have also increased their advertising fees step by step. Just now, Chen Ping received a call, The other party directly raised the advertising fee to as much as five million!
This is already one of the highest bids among the many merchants who called Chen Ping.
In the game "Plants vs. Zombies", Chen Ping set up a total of 6 advertising spaces, two of which are large advertising spaces, and the other four advertising spaces are slightly inferior.
And the other party offered a price of 5 million, of course, what he asked for was one of the two largest advertising spaces.
However, Chen Ping did not immediately agree. Although he dealt with it with a smile on his face, after putting down the phone, Chen Ping still had a dissatisfied look on his face.
Short-sighted!
Do these businessmen really think that they are just a businessman who has just debuted and have no eyesight?
Although it is true that he has only just started doing business for a short time, he has nearly 40 years of life experience in his previous life. He has never eaten pork or seen a pig run?
The development prospects of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" can be seen by the technical personnel in the company who are responsible for game development. Some people are younger than their previous lives, and they all know the future of this game. How far can it develop? Don't you know?
Do you really think that you are being taken advantage of?
Chen Ping sneered in his heart for a while, and then put this matter behind him.
During this period of time, I have called Chen Ping, and there are more than 20 merchants who want to buy advertising space. The prices offered by these merchants are also rising step by step, and the speed of improvement is getting faster and faster. .
Chen Ping is also very clear that this is his own strategy that has been responded to!
So many businesses contacted him, but he never let go, and he didn't mean to sell the advertising space at all. This is already a very obvious signal!
He just wanted to tell those merchants that he was not a little white young man who didn't understand anything!
If you want to buy the advertising space of the game "Plants vs. Zombies", you have to pay the same price!
In Chen Ping's mind, the two largest advertising spaces must be at least 15 million yuan!
As for the other four, they must be at least seven or eight million!
Before and after, no matter how you have to bring yourself at least 60 million in income!
This is just advertising space, as for foreign agency rights...
During the recent period,
Some foreign game companies have also contacted Chen Ping, and they also want to win the agency rights of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" in foreign countries, but their target is only the agency of a certain region or a certain country. Quan, Chen Ping has always been noncommittal about this.
In fact, in Chen Ping's mind, the agency rights of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" abroad are also the top priority!
This is related to the subsequent development of the "Plants vs. Zombies" series of games. If the agency rights are split and handed over, the profit will indeed be larger in a short period of time, but for the future development of the "Plants vs. Zombies" game, But it's not a good thing.
In Chen Ping's mind, this game will develop a series of derivative products in the future, and even a few years later, will also develop mobile games, etc. If the agency rights are distributed and handed over, when the subsequent follow-up products are launched, it will be troublesome. There are so many things!
It may even cause irreparable losses and impacts to this game brand!
Therefore, in order to be safe, Chen Ping still wants to sell the whole agency right now!
In addition to Huaxia, the foreign game agency rights are directly sold to a company and signed a long-term cooperation contract!
In this way, although on a single game, the income will be much less, but in the future, when other versions of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" are launched, it will save a lot of trouble!
For these things, Chen Ping has already thought about it.
He is very clear that in the market, one must take one step, three steps, and foresight, in order to be the way to long-term development!
Although Chen Ping is only a business novice, he is very good at these things!
Recently, within Coslight Technology, there is no intention to start the project in the area of online e-commerce, but the company's second game has already begun to be put on the agenda.
Chen Ping spent most of his busy time discussing the development of the second game with Xue Mingtao from the game development department.
Xue Mingtao has also been busy recently.
Although he had just joined the job, Chen Ping had given him an extremely important task.
hiring!
Chen Ping's request to Fengxiang Headhunting Company was that the manager of the game development department could recruit a complete game development team by himself.
Xue Mingtao naturally met this requirement, but it took time.
Most of those mature game development technicians have already worked for companies, and it is not so easy to recruit people.
Although Xue Mingtao has a good reputation in the game development circle, poaching people is not as simple as imagined. At present, no one has been successfully poached, but Xue Mingtao has contacted many people, and now they are all in A time of negotiation and persuasion.
Xue Mingtao also knows that although what he is doing now doesn't seem to have much to do with game development, he is poaching people everywhere like a headhunting company, but this is crucial for Coslight Technology's future game development. !
This is also one of the reasons why Xue Mingtao treats Chen Ping differently!
Game development is not as simple as talking about it. There are not many mature game developers in total. Only people in the circle can know who has the best technology and who has more outstanding ideas.
If the recruitment of technical personnel is really left to the headhunting company, I am afraid that the recruited people may not be able to be competent for future game development work!
Only the manpower that Xue Mingtao found himself can be used more freely!
So when Chen Ping made this request, Xue Mingtao was only interested in such a small company that had just started.
In his opinion, Chen Ping's decision can definitely be made by an insider, and at least he must have a certain experience and vision in game development to do so.
Otherwise, if another person comes, I am afraid that the recruitment of technical personnel will be directly handed over to the headhunting company.
On Xue Mingtao's side, while contacting one technician after another, he was also discussing with Chen Ping the development plan of Coslight Technology's second game.
Xue Mingtao naturally has his own ideas for the development of the second game of Coslight Technology Company, but after discussing with Chen Ping several times, he suddenly found that many of Chen Ping's ideas seem to be different from the popular games on the market now. Some are out of place, and there are extremely innovative ideas in many aspects!
At first glance, it may sound unrealistic, and the idea is unrealistic, but after Xue Mingtao calmed down and thought about it carefully, he was horrified to find that these ideas of Chen Ping could even be regarded as an innovation to the game industry!
At present, the popular online games and stand-alone games on the market have similar routines. Even Xue Mingtao himself has been following the old path in game development.
But Chen Ping is different!
Some of the concepts in the game proposed by this guy are completely ahead of this era!
It's totally different from what you think!
Actually this is normal.
If nothing else, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, the development is step-by-step and gradual. Every once in a while, there will be a game that is innovative in a certain aspect, but it is by no means completely innovative, just a certain Just one aspect!
But Chen Ping is different!
Chen Ping in the previous life was also a game enthusiast. Although he was not a hardcore gamer, Chen Ping also knew a lot about the development of the domestic game market.
It is not difficult for Chen Ping to propose some innovations in the game industry that will appear in the future, integrate them into the game, or even directly propose a new game mode!
And this kind of thinking makes Xue Mingtao shocked every time!
In Xue Mingtao's view, although these ideas of Chen Ping have not really experienced the baptism and test of the market, there is a great probability that they will be born in a kind of way like the game "Plants vs. Zombies". 's innovative gameplay, sweeping the world!
In the final analysis, Xue Mingtao is just a game developer, and his interest in game development is stronger than anyone else!
After Chen Ping put forward some ideas of his own, Xue Mingtao immediately became a workaholic and began to frantically do one game plan after another!
Even though these game plans were denied by Chen Ping time and time again, Xue Mingtao never tire of it. Instead of complaining, he became more enthusiastic.
However, Xue Mingtao didn't actually know that Chen Ping had already made a plan in his heart, but he was still hesitating and did not take action.
Chen Ping has played those popular games in his previous life, whether it is a single player game or an online game, and after his rebirth, he relived the memories of his previous life. The development of a game that is bound to become popular is extremely simple for Chen Ping.
But now the biggest problem, or funding!
Each different game requires different development funds and timelines. For some simple games, the investment may only be hundreds of thousands or even millions, and the development time is only one or two months. No longer than half a year.
But some complex games, the investment will be as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions! The development time should be at least half a year!
Now, which one to choose for the second game that Coslight Technology will develop has become the biggest problem in Chen Ping's mind!
