Chapter 402: Making money as fast as printing money

After checking the box for Pingcheng platform exclusivity, Lin Hui will naturally have 85% of the guaranteed income share.

According to the Apple platform exclusivity agreement previously reached between Lin Hui and Apple, the sharing part is described as follows:

“The specific share ratio obtained by Lin Hui’s developed games will be linked to the total revenue of Lin Hui’s developed games.

When the game developed by Lin Hui was chosen to be exclusive on the Apple platform.

If the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (total revenue including game sales, DLC sales, item sales, etc.) is less than US$10 million

Forest ash can only receive 85% of the share;

And if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (total revenue including game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is more than 10 million US dollars

For every US$2 million in total revenue, Lin Hui will receive an additional 1% share.

And so on until the proportion of forest ash reaches 90%.

In particular, if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui exceeds US$50 million, Lin Hui has the conditions to propose adjustments to the share ratio.

The specific adjustment will be based on the conclusions reached by both parties, but in principle the adjustment ratio should not be less than 2 percentage points."

The game "T-rex's Journey" is sold overseas for $2.99..

With 11.17 million effective downloads, the revenue would be much lower than US$50 million, but it would definitely exceed US$20 million.

In other words, this inconspicuous dinosaur game created by Lin Hui should be treated as a 90% share.

Well, based on a 90% share, just these 11.17 million overseas effective downloads will bring Lin Hui a share of more than 30 million US dollars.

Of course, overseas income is only pre-tax income at present. Lin Hui estimates that after paying taxes, he will have more than 25 million US dollars left, which is good.

How should I put it, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Lin Hui is working hard towards the level of paying taxes.

The balance soared from US$59.8 million to US$94.12 million, an increase of more than US$34 million overnight.

In addition to the share of game revenue, the remaining revenue growth is due to the widespread popularity of the overseas version of South Wind APP, namely South Wind Pro.

Although widely popular, it is a thing of the past, and the revenue of South Wind Pro software has dwindled.

This actually has nothing to do with Lin Hui’s strength in this software.

To give an inappropriate analogy, even if Lin Hui stopped being a human being and developed a pretty awesome flight control software, there would probably only be a few potential users.

Professional software is like that, its users are quite limited, so no matter how awesome the software is, it's useless.

As the number of professional users is quite limited, it will be difficult to use South Wind Pro as a cash cow in the long run.

However, Lin Hui is very satisfied with the results achieved by South Wind Pro software.

As for the income from overseas online writing, it was still around a million US dollars, and Lin Hui didn't pay too much attention to it.

It’s not that Lin Hui is expecting something unintentional, it’s because he really doesn’t pay attention to aspects such as the overseas publication of online articles, if it weren’t for the fact that he can take advantage of some cultural output in terms of publicity.

Even Lin Hui, who is currently publishing online articles on this scale, is not very interested.

With revenue growing so rapidly, it seems that we can expand steadily.

While he was thinking about it, Lin Hui received a call from Huang Jing.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Huang Jing's excited voice: "Congratulations! Another game has become a hit."

Lin Hui said: "It can only be said that it was a hit on the first day. It's hard to say about its long-term performance."

Lin Hui's words are not entirely modest, as it has now reached more than 11 million valid downloads.

But Lin Hui estimates that it would be good if the total effective downloads could reach 16 to 7 million.

After all, there is no possibility for a small game like "Dinosaur Game" that is not very complicated to become popular slowly.

Basically, players who are interested in the gameplay can join directly.

As for those who don’t enter immediately, they will basically not enter, or they will simply use their brains.

After listening to Lin Hui's words, Huang Jing couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't have such humility, how can you live with such humility, boss? The sales volume of my game on the first day overseas broke the record of domestic games, and it is close to RMB.

Two hundred million yuan!

Other developers make money, but you are just printing money.

For a small game with a buyout system, this is already an incredible achievement."

Lin Hui said: "Is it such an exaggeration?"

Huang Jing said: "Of course, let's put it this way, your current performance, let alone comparing it with others, is that your revenue capability is enough to make many game companies feel inferior!"

Lin Hui: “The sales volume on the first day was relatively high, but the high sales volume on the first day was the result of overdrafting the long-term potential.

This kind of buyout mini-game has always been like this. The previous buyout mini-games had good results on the first day, but their scores were cut in half on the second day.

But now it’s okay, originally it was just a casual thing.”

Huang Jing: "Well, excellent...but I don't pretend to be like that! Can we still have fun, huh!"

Lin Hui continued: "It's wrong to hit people, and you should be happy with me. The reason why I can achieve such good results in this game this time is inseparable from the advice you gave me. If

If the original price was set at US$1, it might be possible to make small profits but quick turnover, but it would probably not be as good as the current revenue level."

Huang Jing: "I just mentioned it casually."

Huang Jing continued: "I remember that when you made "HILL CLIMB RACING", although it was free for a limited time when it was launched, the overseas price was still US$12.99. In this case, even if you made the game after "HILL CLIMB RACING"

Even if the price falls back, it can never fall back to $1. The price must at least be a fraction of the previous price. If it still goes back to $1, wouldn’t that mean there is no progress?”

Huang Jing did not mention her suggestion that Lin Hui increase the price of the dinosaur mini-game, but instead mentioned Lin Hui's overseas pricing strategy for "HILL CLIMB RACING", a game that was limited to free of charge as soon as it was launched, just like the reason why Lin Hui had opposed the previous game.

This game is priced at US$12.99 overseas just to let gamers get used to the price in advance.

According to Huang Jing's statement, does it mean that Lin Hui has already made preparations for the future increase in game prices?

Is this what people in the workplace think of? I don’t take any credit for saying this.

Although Huang Jing did not take any credit, it was impossible for Huang Jing to turn a blind eye to Lin Hui's suggestions these two times.

Lin Hui: "Anyway, thanks to your suggestion this time, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Huang Jing joked: "Haha, you are not going to give me a bonus..."

Lin Hui: "It's not impossible. Your two suggestions really helped me a lot."
