Chapter 595 The stock god’s heirloom

Although "Crazy Farm" is still in final development and in internal testing, many players' expectations for it are already vivid on their faces. Every day when it goes online, the first thing to do is to check out "Crazy Farm" on the official websites of Tencent and "Second World"

development process, let’s see how long it will take before it is released for public beta.

"Boss, will "Farm Frenzy" affect the number of people online in our company's games? The setting of "Farm Frenzy" makes me want to play it. If it ultimately affects the operation of our company's games, it would be a bit uneconomical!

Wu Zhaopu said with a frown.

Lin Feng is naturally aware of Wu Zhaopu's concerns. Nowadays, the whole country is eager for "Farm", which has directly caused the decline of the number of online games in many online games. It has also panicked many game companies, and they have launched the development of games similar to "Farm".

The game hopes to solve the current situation of online games being affected, and it is best to get a share of the pie.

Although many game companies are panicking, in Lin Feng's view, "Farm Frenzy" may affect the number of online players in other online games in the early stage, but after the initial freshness period is over, players will still play whatever games they are supposed to play.

Indeed, "Crazy Farm" not only introduces the fierce confrontation of large-scale online online games, but also adds more strategies, making the entire game no longer as monotonous as "QQ Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies", but full of diversity.

and fun. However, no matter how many connotations there are in "Crazy Farm", it cannot escape its essence - a farm. Players can do nothing most of the time except growing vegetables and stealing vegetables. At first, they may need to calculate the growth time and time of various crops.

It takes time to synthesize "defensive plants", as well as time and cost-effectiveness to steal vegetables. However, as the game progresses and various strategies are released, it will no longer be a problem that restricts everyone.

After players become familiar with the game settings of "Crazy Farm", they will be the same as "QQ Farm". Most of the time, they do not need to log in. They only need to log in when they are about to harvest or steal vegetables. The rest of the time, they can play other games.

, after all, this is just a casual game, and all games under the "Second World" can be run in a window, and the same can be said for "Farm Frenzy", which can be run in a window.

"QQ Farm" has not affected the operation of other online games, and "Crazy Farm" will not have any impact either. At best, it only makes players more involved in this game, or in other words, broadens the entire game market. This is also the reason why Lin Feng developed "Crazy Farm"

》an intention.

Amid the market's impetuous expectations, "Crazy Farm" has finally been released for public beta testing. As for the number of people online after the launch, Lin Feng can only lament that Tencent's absolute dominance in the "qq" market has brought great benefits to its casual games.

absolute popularity.

On the first day, "Crazy Farm" client downloads reached an astonishing 3 million copies, and this number is still increasing rapidly. After all, with the dominance of "qq" and the popularity of "QQ Farm", this launch

"Crazy Farm" already condenses the essence of "QQ Farm" and "Plants vs. Zombies", coupled with high confrontation and strategic nature, it is really difficult not to become popular.

"Farm Frenzy" is a flash game similar to "Plants vs. Zombies", except that the screen is simpler. Basically any computer on the market can run it perfectly. The capacity of the entire client is only 87m. As for "stealing vegetables"

War, Wu Zhaopu and others have tested it. The current ordinary "Pentium 3" computer will definitely be very smooth unless more than 30 players come to steal food at the same time.

As far as the map in "Crazy Farm" is concerned, aside from the fact that some crazy players may go all the way to steal food (but the "zombie" is very likely to starve to death because there is no food on the way)

, Under normal circumstances, a player may face up to 18-24 players stealing food. This amount of data traffic is enough for the player's computer to load.

With such a low configuration and high gameplay, the number of people online in "Farm Crazy" skyrocketed, reaching a peak of 2.5 million people online on the first day, and a week later, the player base of "Farm Crazy" had reached 30 million.

This is a very scary number, and the number is still increasing rapidly. It will definitely not be difficult to exceed hundreds of millions of players in the future.

As for the profit model of "Crazy Farm", it still adopts a member-charging diamond system similar to that of "QQ Farm". However, after charging diamonds this time, members no longer enjoy stealing more food and getting some flower fertilizer. This

This time Ma Huateng directly adopted a "completely" fair approach. Regardless of whether he is a member or not, everyone is the same in the game without any material preferential treatment.

The only difference is that when member players go to "steal food", the system will automatically calculate the time to reach the opponent, as well as a brief assessment of the opponent's defense, and the "zombie" needed to break through the opponent's defense.

", once the player's fleet enters the island, an alarm will automatically sound to remind the player to pay attention, and it can even send a paid text message to notify the player.

Of course, chemical fertilizers, for example, can still be purchased with Q coins to speed up the growth of crops. However, Ma Huateng followed Lin Feng’s suggestion and did not include those items for sale that might disrupt the balance of the game.

.

This is also agreed by all players. After all, operating a game requires costs. It is impossible for a game company to operate a game without making money. As long as the balance of the game is not destroyed, players can still accept the existence of members in the game.

Thanks to many favorable conditions, the number of players of "Farm Frenzy" is rising steadily. In particular, Tencent QQ users do not need to register and can log in directly with their QQ account. This allows most players who originally did not want to play to just click in and start playing.

Played out of control.

As the craze of "Crazy Farm" spread, magazines across the country also launched corresponding strategies. Of course, the official magazine of "Second World" naturally also launched the most authoritative detailed strategy manual, as well as various "defensive plants"

"The synthetic data of different crops, as well as the attack attributes of "defense plants", as well as the defense attributes and movement speed of "zombies". Of course, under different weather environments, the attributes of "defense plants" change and the attributes of "zombies"

change.

The launch of the official authoritative magazine not only allows players to better understand "Farm Frenzy", but also makes players more enthusiastic about "Farm Frenzy". The number of players continues to exceed 50 million, 70 million..., when the "Farm Fever" is once again triggered across the country.

, and also brought huge benefits to Tencent and the "Second World".

For most ordinary players, especially white-collar workers, although "Second World" has previously launched an official authoritative magazine that explains all the data of "Crazy Farm" in detail, it is still a bit troublesome for these players, so it is better to directly recharge.

Diamond, everything is simple. The cost of Purple Diamond for a month is only 10 yuan, which is not expensive and can be recharged. According to official statistics from Tencent, one week after the server of "Crazy Farm" was launched, the number of Purple Diamond users reached 1 million, and each person has 10 million users.

Yuan means an income of 10 million Yuan. And the number of members is still increasing.

The total human resources and hardware development costs invested in the "Second World" design of "Farm Frenzy" did not exceed 700,000 yuan in total. As for the operating costs, due to the use of flash engine development, the requirements are extremely low, far less than those of "Legend"

Waiting for the game, the original "QQ Farm" server can fully cope with it, and is even rich. This is a standard small investment, large output. Lin Feng was jealous when he saw it, thinking about the "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country"

The high cost, and looking at the low cost of "Farm Frenzy", Lin Feng really feels a bit shameless.

Fortunately, there are not many such games, and their popularity is due to Tencent's absolute dominance, and the nature of its casual games means that its profits are not as high as those of other large-scale online games. Think about the "Zhengtu" that is currently popular across the country.

, the highest number of online players is more than 800,000, but the monthly profits generated are hundreds of millions of yuan, and the profits of "Crazy Farm" are nothing.

Even Lin Feng is a little jealous of the low cost and high returns of "Crazy Farm", let alone other companies. Many game companies are jealous and have launched similar games, such as "Infinite Farm", "Perfect Farm", etc.

etc., but without the support of "qq"'s huge user base, coupled with the mature game development experience and technology accumulated by "Second World" in the past two years, other online game companies are not as good as in terms of game quality or popularity.

It is far from posing a threat to "Farm", and in the end it can only become a laughing stock of "copying what others have done".

Regarding this situation, Chen Xiaowei of "Nine City" secretly sighed. Some time ago, Lin Feng personally planned to sell 6.7 million copies of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in one month, setting a domestic stand-alone game sales record. Now,

She also planned "Farm Frenzy", a casual and entertainment game that has become a bit perverted. Chen Xiaowei doesn't know whether to admire Lin Feng or to be jealous. Maybe she has always hated Lin Feng and opposed him everywhere, so there is mostly an element of jealousy in it.

.

Alas, what will the future Chinese gaming landscape and the world gaming landscape be like? How should we survive? - Chen Xiaowei is already a little confused.

CEOs of other domestic game companies have similar ideas to Chen Xiaowei. They are really at a loss at the moment and don’t know how to survive. Although they can still barely maintain operations, as the "Second World" becomes more and more successful, their

As their games become more and more mature, how will they survive in the future?

Media from all walks of life at home and abroad have also made a lot of reports. After all, "Farm" is too successful and incredible.

"Guangming Daily" - This is another miracle. The simple farm planting game has been paired with the previously popular "Plants vs. Zombies", giving it a new lease of life. While we marvel at the charm of this game, we can't help but think

Ask Lin Feng, who conceived and planned this "Farm Frenzy", how many ideas does he have?

Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" - Oh my god, it's crazy that such a simple game can attract hundreds of millions of Chinese people to invest. I wonder if Chinese players are born to be farmers.

In response to the satire of the "Asahi Shimbun", Lin Feng sneered and directly asked the "Second World" Japanese branch to open a Japanese version of "Farm" in Japan, charging a lifetime membership fee. As a result, the "Asahi Shimbun" satirized "

"Second World", when it was said that absolutely no players in Japan would play this simple and boring "farming" game, the Japanese version of "Farm Frenzy" easily exceeded one million people online.

For Japanese players, just "QQ Farm" or "Plants vs. Zombies" are not enough to attract them, but the perfect fusion of these two games has completely aroused the interest of Japanese players. Especially the various games in them.

This kind of data is also sought after by Japanese players who love to study. This is also one of the reasons why "Farm Frenzy" is so popular in Japan.

Lin Feng adopts a monthly fee system. A Japanese player charges 500 yen per month, and one million people is 500 million yen, which is equivalent to a gross profit of approximately 34 million yuan. Regarding this profit, "Asahi Shimbun" is furious.

Talk about it. In particular, Lin Feng did not open auxiliary programs for Japanese players like domestic players. Japanese players love to delve into the game, so the absence of auxiliary programs is more to their liking.

The success of "Farm Frenzy" in Japan also allowed Lin Feng to see the global influence of "Farm Frenzy". Although the game is simple, it is indeed full of fun and can be tolerated by even the most picky Japanese players. Players from other countries in the world

Naturally acceptable.

Lin Feng immediately opened the European server and the American server, and the results were extremely gratifying. A total of 15 million people played "Farm Frenzy" in the European server, and 21 million people played "Farm Frenzy" in the American server. The average monthly fee per player was

1 US dollar point card fee. Invisibly, the European and American servers of "Farm Frenzy" bring an astonishing return of 36 million US dollars to the "Second World" every month.

This shocked the world!

The British "Times" marveled - God, how many more miracles will this Chineseboy create? Such a simple game can actually create such amazing profits, but why has no European game programmer thought of it before?

Therefore, I can only say that Lin Feng is a genius, the Einstein of the gaming industry.

USA Today - "Farm" has a revenue of 36 million U.S. dollars in one month and a gross profit of 432 million U.S. dollars in a year. This Chinese has once again created a miracle in the gaming industry. This "Farm"

"Farm" is more like a money printing machine than Microsoft's "office" software. "Office" requires a large number of programming talents to design, but this "Farm" only used more than 20 game talents, and the design took less than one month.

It's just time to arrive.

This good news also directly stimulated the "Second World" stocks to soar, rising to 124 US dollars, and Lin Feng's personal assets were close to the 40 billion US dollars mark.

The stock god Buffett, who holds 10 million shares of "Second World", said with emotion - "Buying the stocks of "Second World" is definitely the most correct decision in my life. I have already made a will to donate all my personal property to charity.

.But I will keep the 10 million shares of "Second World" as a "family heirloom" for my descendants. I believe that they can rely on the annual dividends of the 10 million shares of "Second World".

They can have no worries about food and clothing. This is the only favor I give them as an elder.

The world was shocked by these words of stock market god Buffett. Is the "Second World" really so good?

When the world re-examines the "Second World" and examines Lin Feng, Lin Feng received a call from Houston Rockets General Manager Dawson. The NBA 02-03 season was about to begin, and because Lin Feng had previously invested US$100 million in new ball

Now that the new Houston Rockets Arena has been completed, it will be unveiled on November 1. The Houston Rockets will face the Los Angeles Lakers, who have just won three consecutive championships, at home.

Lin Feng looked at his watch, it was already October 24th, and it was time to prepare to leave for the Houston Rockets! Watch the first round of the old champion "Jordan, Rodman, Olajuwon" against the new champion "O'Neal-Kobe"
Chapter completed!
