Chapter 496: Game version number

Various due diligence and audit work before the merger are in progress in an orderly manner.

Ruixiang and Zhonghe employees saw nothing strange when they saw a large number of accountants and forensic auditors stationed in the company, because similar situations had happened countless times.

Each time it means that the company is about to conduct major financing!

At the same time, the various businesses of Ruixiang and Zhonghe continued to proceed normally according to their respective arrangements.

A few months ago, the final night of the PUBG Mobile S1 Season Invitational Tournament was held at the Bird's Nest, attracting a total of more than 40,000 spectators to the scene to cheer!

The four major live broadcast platforms of DouShi, Kuaishou, Bilibili, and Panda TV broadcast the competitive event live, attracting tens of millions of users in total.

Although the event has ended several months ago, its influence has gradually spread.

A large number of competition videos and fierce battle scenes have been spread all over the Internet by UP owners and short video creators.

This publicity effect is reflected in the game data.

The number of registered users of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has also exceeded 300 million, and the number of daily active users has exceeded 60 million, which is comparable to that of Honor of Kings.

Compared with Penguin, Zhonghe Group not only has a live broadcast product matrix that is not inferior to the other party, but also crushes Penguin in short videos.

Although Penguin’s long videos are great, most people go there to watch online dramas and movies. Who watches game competition clips on it?

The two major short video platforms DouShi and Kuaishou are unparalleled in China, with one having over 300 million daily active users and the other over 200 million daily active users, greatly killing users’ time.

Users can see one short game video after another by moving their fingers, which is convenient and fast.

A large number of young people call their friends and fall into the pit of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

At this time, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television announced that it would stop issuing game licenses.

The game version number is the abbreviation of the approval number that approves the publication and operation of relevant games. Without a game version number, you can operate the game in the name of "testing", but you cannot recharge or earn money.

Now, NetEase was dumbfounded, Penguin was dumbfounded, and a lot of small and medium-sized game manufacturers were dumbfounded.

Penguin's stock price fell by more than 5% at the opening, and its market value evaporated by more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars;

NetEase's U.S. stocks were also affected, falling more than 7% and losing nearly $3 billion in market value;

The Japanese game manufacturer Capcom was also affected, with its stock price falling 7.1%;

About half of South Korean gaming company Nexon's revenue comes from China, and its stock price fell 5.1% that day.

With one action by the regulatory agency, the storm directly affected the stock prices of game manufacturers in many countries.

From this we can see how big China’s game market is and how many companies it supports.

When Zhang Yida saw this scene, he secretly thought it was dangerous.

Before PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was launched last year, he obtained the version number through various connections.

After all, the company is located in Beijing and is considered a leading enterprise, so the regulatory agencies still give it a face.

But this year, with the popularity of the chicken game, a large number of children have become addicted to the game.

Parents must have opinions after reading it, and letters of complaint and reports were sent to the regulatory agency.

When the regulatory agency took a look, it seemed like something was wrong!

In this form of ancient Roman beast fighting, no more than 4 people can survive in a team out of 100 people. It is too bloody and goes against the core values.

NetEase and Penguin were a little slower, so their respective applications for the version number of the chicken-fighting mobile game were not approved.

The version number of Zhonghe is a bit difficult for regulatory agencies.

After all, it has already been posted, and then taking it back would offend others and slap oneself in the face.

Zhang Yida also sensed something was wrong and quickly donated 100 million to the Soong Ching Ling Foundation and various children's foundations.

Donated in the name of Zhonghe Game Company, various newspapers and media have followed up and reported on this charitable act.

Under media reports, various exciting stories about Zhang Yida traveling to South Korea and acquiring Blue Hole Studio were presented to the public.

Acquired Blue Hole for US$250 million, and the investment value increased 20 times in one year;

We have launched in-depth cooperation with the Navy's Jiaolong Commando Team, and invited retired Jiaolong members to participate in character motion capture for the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game, recording professional action data for the game characters, and showing the fine spirit of the Chinese Navy to hundreds of millions of players at home and abroad through the game, and passing on the Navy's

Positive energy.

The professional tactical movements and military qualities of Chinese soldiers have been praised by a large number of overseas players.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds also announced that domestically produced and self-developed military weapons and equipment such as the Wuzhi-10 and Type 95 will be added to the game in the future to further demonstrate China's military technological progress.

People's Daily praised Zhang Yida again, praising Zhang Yida as a patriotic young entrepreneur who has been actively spreading China's positive energy to the world.

When the regulatory agencies saw this, they were even more helpless and had no intention of withdrawing the version number.

However, we still interviewed Zhang Lan, general manager of Zhonghe Group’s content business group, and passed on some “suggestions” from regulatory agencies to the latter.

After Zhang Lan returned to the company, she began to convey the spirit of the meeting to Zhang Yida.

“The name PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a bit too unlucky and unlucky. It always sounds like life or death. There are even children playing this game. This needs to be changed!

Also, can your battle mode be changed to a drill? That way no one will die, it will just be a normal military drill.

In addition, the killing scene should not be too bloody. It would be nice to have it in a drill mode with green smoke coming out.

As for your poison circle, the blood volume continues to drop during the poisoning process. This should also be changed, so that the signal value gradually decreases.

In the end, why do you call winning a chicken game? Would it be better to change it to championship? It is more in line with the name of a practice competition...

…”

Zhang Yida looked at Zhang Lan who had learned so well, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

He smiled and asked: "Is this what the leader told you?"

Zhang Lan nodded, "Yes, these are the exact words."

Zhang Yida sighed. He thought he had escaped, but he thought he still couldn't escape the knife.

With such a change, how realistic will the game still be when played?

The reason why he got the version number early was because he wanted to provide players with the best gaming experience with peace of mind.

But now, I can only say sorry to the majority of game players.

"Are their attitudes firm? Is it possible to change their attitude and cope with it?"

Zhang Yida refused to give up and held on to the last bit of luck.

"It's impossible. They said they would review our game. If there are any problems during the review, the game version number may be withdrawn."

The corner of Zhang Yida's mouth twitched, he was really... so dedicated to his duty.

"Okay, you can arrange it and start making changes to the game."

Zhang Yida comforted himself that compared to Penguin and NetEase, Zhonghe was luckier.

After Ding Sanshi learned the news, he immediately made relevant arrangements. The domestic market was basically Buddhist, and he focused his main efforts overseas.

If you can’t make money at home, you can always make money abroad, right?

But when he went overseas, he felt a sense of powerlessness again when he saw the combination of "PUBG Mobile and Musical.ly" and the good market reputation of the client game.

It’s okay for Zhang Yida to get the license in China, but he is still in trouble overseas.

He did not dare to blame the regulatory agencies, after all, he still expected them to issue a version number later.

He had no choice but to use NetEase's overseas resources to vigorously promote Knives Out while drawing circles and cursing Zhang Yida.

Bonima was also disappointed. During this period of time, he vigorously promoted "Army Attack", but the regulatory agency gave him such a slap.

Why does PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have a version number? He thinks there must be a story in it.

If you can't change the rules, you can only adapt to them.

"Exciting Battlefield" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" have been launched to the market, so there is no reason to take them back.

Although the free strategy can only be continued for now, there is still a need to persist, even if it means weakening the opponent.

While continuing its domestic operations, Bonima also sent these two games overseas.

When he went overseas, he was just like Ding Sanshi, in a state of despair.

It’s simply impossible to fight!

Bonima stopped spending more time on these two games and turned his attention to the game company Epic Games in which he holds 40% of the shares.

"Fortnite" developed by this company is currently eroding the market share of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds overseas.
