Chapter 158 When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but
I think there is something wrong with you
Shen Miaomiao was very excited!
This is her first sub-receipt, and it is also another attempt after earning three consecutive profits from "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Bad Kitchen" and "Titanfall" without any results!
Over there, Gu Sheng was adjusting the web page.
Here, Shen Miaomiao prayed secretly.
The sky is so bright and the earth is so bright, it makes me lose some money!
All in all, it has been a year since her last loss-making "Long for Survival" project!
System brother!
Have mercy on the poor child!
You must know that it has only been more than two years since the establishment of Golden Wind!
I was making money nearly half of the time and couldn't lose a penny!
If this continues, our system will become a mere decoration!
I'm not asking for a loss of one billion or eighty million yuan. Even if you give me back tens of thousands of yuan, it would be some comfort!
Shen Miaomiao didn't know it, but after calculating it, she felt that she was going to be extremely miserable.
She hasn’t tasted rebates for a year!
The system she was allowed to use made everyone sad when she saw it and shed tears when she heard it.
A surge of bitterness surged into Shen Miaomiao's heart, and Shen Miaomiao felt like she was going to cry.
We are all under the system, so why is my situation so different from that of the protagonists in those novels?
I read that the protagonists in those novels all have clothes to put out their hands and food to open, and the system is eager to put all the wool in the world into the protagonist's pocket.
But my system, if it says it won’t give rewards, it really won’t!
Of course!
The lack of rebates for a year cannot be entirely blamed on the system.
Shen Miaomiao secretly glanced at Gu Sheng next to her.
Speaking of which, this terrifying whale is the culprit.
This guy's attacks are almost always false.
Although from the perspective of her system, from "Cat Leo" to "APEX", nine projects have profits and losses.
but!
From the perspective of the rate of return of commercial funds, of all the projects from the establishment of Golden Wind to the present, not one of them has suffered a loss!
Not only did you not lose money, you also made huge profits, the kind that made you crazy!
What was the starting capital for Golden Wind in its early days?
500000.
And how much money does Golden Wind have now?
According to the financial statements reported to the president’s office by the finance department last month——
675 million.
That’s it! This is the money they got back after they emptied their fortunes to make Titanfall!
More than two years.
From 500,000 to 675 million.
A year-on-year increase of 1350 times!
This is no longer crazy!
This growth rate is unreachable in any industry!
This is no longer an industry myth!
This is the god! The god is coming!
Not to mention others, it is Shen Capital that has a big vision!
From scratch, it has many industries and hundreds of subsidiaries!
No one’s growth rate can be so terrifying!
It can be said that if Shen Miaomiao had not had the system to recruit Gu Sheng, the ultimate cash cow, top producer, and invincible supernova, she should have built a golden body for Gu Sheng and burned three sticks of incense every day. Kowtow!
This is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!
So it's no wonder that so many game manufacturers covet Gu Sheng.
Not because of anything else, just because this guy is so rich!
Every game is so explosive, and it has even created many new gameplays, new upgrades, and new forms of games such as "psychological horror", "second-generation FPS" and "battle royale".
Although, the current volume of Golden Wind is less than 1 billion, and it is not considered a medium or large game manufacturer in the gaming industry.
But whether it is its booming development momentum or the invitation from a world-class manufacturer like Comella.
All of them prove the rapid rise of the Golden Wind.
Entering the 1 billion club and becoming a medium-sized game manufacturer is just around the corner.
but!
This does not affect Shen Miaomiao's determination to pursue rebates.
Indeed!
Immediately entering the 1 billion club and becoming a medium-sized game company is indeed something worth looking forward to.
But know it.
If!
These nine games are all calculated according to the most ideal situation and all losses, then——
The cost of "Cat Leo" is 10,000, and the rebate is 100,000.
"Who's the Daddy" cost 100,000 yuan and received a rebate of 1 million yuan.
"Vampire Survivor" cost 200,000, with a rebate of 2 million.
"Phobia" cost 2 million, with a rebate of 20 million.
The cost of "Long 4 Survival" is 10.8 million, and the bonus card provides a 100-fold rebate, with a rebate of 1.08 billion.
The cost of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is 50 million, with a rebate of 500 million.
"Nonsense Kitchen" 1 million, rebate 10 million.
"Titanfall" cost 170 million, with a rebate of 1.87 billion.
The cost of "APEX" is 50 million, and the rebate is 550 million.
The total cost is 284.11 million yuan, and the total rebate is 4.0331 million yuan!
"Billion Club"?
joke!
I, Shen Miaomiao, can buy four of them from the Billion Club!
and!
If the world line really develops according to this ideal situation, as long as she is brave enough, she will throw all 4 billion into the game market.
So!
After receiving this wave of rebates, she will have 40 billion yuan!
What? You said that the largest game manufacturer in China is Xunteng?
Give Xun Teng a big mouth, do you think he dares to say anything?
With ten games, he immediately jumped to the top spot in the Chinese game industry. After that, with a little effort, he could overtake Ni Qimi and defeat the likes of Comella and Yunwei!
hey-hey……
I had a little daydream.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but let out a silly laugh, feeling happy for herself in another world line.
However, this situation is too ideal.
Gu Sheng is not a very affectionate game maker. If he really played like this, I'm afraid Lao Gu would have given up and left long ago.
After all, the two of them have been together for such a long time and have lived under the same roof for several months. She has a certain understanding of Gu Sheng.
He really loves this industry and this career. He is a true gamer and regards games as art.
Although his pursuit and love for games, to some extent...to a large extent, hindered Shen Miaomiao from losing money.
However, Shen Miaomiao would not really blame him for ruining her good deeds.
It’s not strange for those who don’t know.
Besides now!
My system has been upgraded and I have a better new model for losing money.
By earning one and losing another, Lao Gu can realize his dream of being a top designer and earn a lot of money himself.
When Lao Gu doesn't want to do it anymore, or she has earned enough, she and Lao Gu will buy a big yacht and travel around the world with more money than they can spend in a few lifetimes, eating and drinking. Until then...
Shen Miaomiao was startled and came back to her senses:
"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something happy."
"You don't think that APEX can make back your money in the first week like our previous games, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is it impossible?"
"European Server Kos Naote!"
Gu Sheng was startled and looked at Shen Miaomiao in disbelief:
"What you are thinking is too beautiful. This is a free game with a cost of 50 million!"
"You want to get your money back just one week ago? Do you really think our game is like robbing a bank?"
In order not to disappoint little Nezha too much, Gu Sheng called up the "proportion of paying players" data on the China Entertainment Electronics website for the free games released in the past six months.
It can be seen that according to statistics, the average proportion of paying players for new free somatosensory cabin games released in the past six months is 7.23%.
Yes.
Whether it is Gu Sheng's previous life or this world, the proportion of paying players in a free multiplayer online game has slowly accumulated from low to high.
This is the objective law of the game market.
"The proportion of paying players is accumulated over time, such as LOL and FireWire,"
"One of these two games has been in operation for 12 years, and the other has been in operation for 13 years,"
"After such a long period of accumulation, activities and gold points have emerged one after another. In addition, the market for the two games is becoming increasingly saturated, and the number of new players is getting smaller and smaller."
"Under the influence of various factors, the paying player ratio of these two games can reach 87% and 92%,"
Gu Sheng gave little Nezha a vaccination and explained:
"It's only seven days, and we are very weak in terms of krypton gold points and related operational activities. In addition, the game is on the rise and there are a lot of new players,"
"You only see the market's praise, the players' praise, and the krypton gold earned by a very few players,"
"But I didn't expect that among the players of a game, the majority are silent,"
"Whenever a new game is launched, players need to understand it, adapt to it, and build a relationship with the game, so the initial paying player ratio will definitely not be high."
While following the temptation, Gu Sheng slid the roller.
As he said, from the data summary list, the proportion of paying players for most new games is less than 5%, and occasionally there are a few that are close to 10%, but they are also very rare.
"You see, 1.7%, 3.5%, 4.2%, 6.6%... This is the real free game market. The paying player group of any game is through one activity after another.
Accumulated through successive operations,”
"There is an essential difference between free games and buyout games. The freedom of payment determines that no one can eat a fat man in one bite,"
As he said that, Gu Sheng slid the mouse to the [Sort Ratio from High to Low] button and clicked to refresh:
"If you don't believe it, look, among so many new games,"
"Even among those with the highest proportion of paying players, it's only...58.2%?!!!"
"What the hell is this fucking thing about me trapping you as a monkey?"
As the page refreshes!
But see you!
At the top of the list, a bizarre statistic stands out, leaving many games of the same period far behind!
[58.2% (Because the data of this work is too high and has no reference value, it is not included in the average calculation)]
This value is so astonishing, so eye-catching, and so outrageous.
So much so that China Entertainment Electronics marked it with a separate eye-catching red color.
And looking forward along this bizarre and terrifying ratio value, four letters came into view——
《APEX》
The game with the highest proportion of new game paying players is theirs.
As high as 58.2%.
Gu Sheng:?
The so-called when I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.
China Entertainment Television, are you kidding me?
Are the statistics wrong?
Do you want to see how outrageous data you have compiled?
Oh, you have seen it, and you even think it is outrageous, and you have deliberately excluded this data from the average statistics.
That is to say.
58.2% of paying players have been approved by China Entertainment Electronics!
"I...fuck!!!"
For a moment, Gu Sheng's eyes went straight!
This is really like robbing a bank!
Quickly find the weekly profit page and click to enter!
Then I heard little Nezha next to me screaming in the same way!
"I...fuck!!!"
On the large projection screen, the seven-day total sales data that had just been printed was clearly visible!
[APEX total sales per week: 62.44 million yuan]
Shen Miaomiao's pupils suddenly shrank!
Numbers that have been calculated countless times appear in my mind like a conditioned reflex!
【62.5 million yuan】
Excluding commissions, if you want to achieve a weekly profit, APEX's turnover must reach 62.5 million yuan!
That is to say...
[Ding! Time’s up! This round of investment settlement is completed!]
Next second!
Shen Miaomiao heard a crisp sound in her mind, and then, the system settlement interface appeared in front of her eyes——
[Ding! Project loss detected!]
[Sub-project: APEX]
[Project investment amount: 50 million yuan]
[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 11 times (+0 times)]
[Actual project revenue: 49.952 million yuan]
[Project loss amount: 48,000 yuan]
[Project rebate amount: 528,000 yuan]
[Remaining time for settlement: 0]
[Ding! The loss settlement is completed and the rebate has been issued to the host’s personal bank card!]
Immediately afterwards, Shen Miaomiao felt her phone vibrate!
A text message was sent——
[Your debit card account 1118 deposited 528,000 yuan through mobile banking transfer on August 24, with a balance of 533,775.68 yuan...]
The air in the apartment was stagnant for two seconds!
then!
Just listen to the exclamations of Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, rising from low to high, one after another!
"Holy shit..."
"Holy shit..."
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit, shit, shit!"
"Holy shit, shit, shit!"
Gu Sheng relies on this 58.2% paying player ratio which is too terrifying, it is simply a mythical level data!
And this undoubtedly means that their pass + non-attribute green krypton gold model is a great success!
In this world, a healthy, fair, and green new path of krypton gold has been created!
And its impact is as far-reaching as the creation of the ‘second generation FPS’!
Gu Sheng was so happy!
Because it’s always been!
Gu Shengdu regards the words of the deceased former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in his previous life as his motto——
[On my business card, I am the president of Nintendo; in my mind, I am a game developer; and deep down in my heart, I am a gamer.]
This is the highest realm of a pure gamer.
Gu Sheng loves games. He regards games as a second world that keeps pace with real life, a utopia for the soul.
In this utopia, there should no longer be a concept of ‘money first’.
The class differences in reality are enough to make people breathless.
I don't want my game to perpetuate this kind of oppression, whether you are a wealthy tycoon, a commoner, a CEO or director of a large company, or an ordinary worker, student, or office worker.
Here, in my game, we are all the same, simple and pure players.
We met here because of our common love.
It has nothing to do with status, wealth or class.
I might envy your family heirlooms, but you'll also envy my hunting exhaust.
Here, we have only one name - player.
Gu Sheng is happy!
And Shen Miaomiao was even more excited!
Money back! Money back! Money back!
Oh my God, this earth! Which angel sister restored this immortal energy to me!
Although a loss of 48,000 does not seem like anything!
But I can’t stand the 11 times high rebate!
520,000 seconds to arrive!
To know!
Her annual salary is only 500,000!
This is equivalent to giving her a whole year's salary instantly!
The key is!
This is her second rise in the past year!
This 520,000 is not just 520,000!
The symbolic meaning of its success is even higher than its actual value!!!
Shen Miaomiao could not even control her excitement, and there were tears flashing in her big eyes!
Amid the cheers, the two equally excited people looked at each other.
Shen Miaomiao jumped up with a loud sound and was about to pounce on Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng, who was so excited, also laughed and stretched out his hands!
But in the next second, as the distance between the two people quickly shortened, a feeling of uncertainty and strangeness arose in their hearts at the same time.
Shen Miaomiao stopped the car with a creak, and Gu Sheng also raised his hands in embarrassment.
Gu, Shen:......
An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.
After a long while, Gu Sheng finally opened his mouth, his face slightly red: "...high-five?"
As for Shen Miaomiao, she bit her lips and stretched out her little hand: "...yeah."
Then, the two of them reached out to each other at the same time:
"Ah that..."
"Um……"
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
"Same joy...same joy..."
"I..." Gu Sheng raised his hand: "I... I'm going to have a cigarette."
"Ah, ah," Shen Miaomiao coughed unnaturally and nodded: "Go, go..."
Gu Sheng stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Shen Miaomiao also turned her eyes and pretended to look at the data on the large projection screen.
Two people, two directions, back to back.
But the corners of the mouth can't help but turn up, but they are so similar...
