He never expected that "Sea Fortress" would actually trick his old club.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed something that Lao Liu can do.
The Fire Qilin sold for 888. Not only did the players not feel disgusted, but they actually accepted it. This really gave other designers the illusion that my rare props could be sold for 888!
Lao Liu must have guessed that he would be scolded by the players, but he didn't care about it.
What he cares about is whether he can make money with this knife priced at 888!
If you make money, the players can scold you without delaying the boss from giving him a promotion or salary increase.
But the actual result is that the players scolded him so much that he didn't sell a few knives, which hurt the game's reputation and failed to make any money. This is why the boss scolded him.
"Old Liu is carving a boat and asking for a sword."
"The Fire Qilin sold for 888 in "Fortress of the Sea" is part of the entire pricing strategy. Old Liu became jealous when he saw the 888. He couldn't see other content in the pricing strategy, so he will definitely get scolded."
Huang Sibo couldn't help but want to complain.
When he worked at Yangyang Games, Lao Liu was his immediate boss.
At that time, Huang Sibo's feelings for Lao Liu could be said to be very complicated.
Although Lao Liu squeezed him hard, Huang Sibo felt that he could still learn something from following Lao Liu.
But now, Huang Sibo doesn't feel that way at all.
A leader like Lao Liu has just stayed around for a few more years, so he has a halo in the eyes of some newcomers.
But what about actually?
He cherishes his life when doing big things, forgets his life when he sees small profits, and does not learn from others, but only learns how to sell 888 by Huo Qilin. How can such a person be qualified to be the chief planner?
If the structure is too small, nothing can be accomplished in a lifetime.
The Ma group was sipping coffee and felt that what Huang Sibo said made sense.
"Sibo, then why do you think "Sea Fortress" was able to sell the Fire Qilin for 888?"
Huang Sibo smiled.
"You may have asked the right person."
"Why can "Sea Fortress" sell Fire Qilin for 888? Because this is the only charging point in the game!"
"The game itself has a story mode, and both the art quality and the gameplay are very good. According to the general buyout game pricing, this game must be worth at least 50 yuan, right?"
"But "Sea Fortress" is completely free, and the entire game only sells one 888 Fire Kirin! This is a kind of profit concession!"
"All ordinary players can enjoy 99.99% of the game content for free. Can the players be unhappy? Can they not be grateful?"
"Moreover, the Fire Qilin is different from the knife sold by Old Liu. The properties of that knife are very good. A rich man can cut ten of them by himself, leaving no room for ordinary players to survive."
"But the fire unicorn's attributes are not much higher than those of other guns, and it can also bring experience bonuses and other benefits to other players in the room."
"The interests of rich people and civilian players are the same. This weapon will maintain its value forever, has a cool appearance, and is worshiped wherever it goes. Of course it will sell well!"
"So, the pricing strategy is a whole, and it is the result of considering all aspects. Setting the price of Huo Qilin at 888 is not a greedy way to make money, but it is giving away profits!"
The group of horses nodded frequently.
"That's it! I heard before that "Sea Fortress" sold a gun for 888, and I was still thinking, are people so stupid now that they have too much money?"
"It actually has a deeper meaning, I understand."
"Brother Huang, you are not in the game industry anymore, how do you still know so much about games?"
Huang Sibo paused and took a sip of coffee.
"This matter... it's a long story. I haven't told you about it, mainly because I have been feeling dizzy these past few months and don't know where to start..."
"Actually, "Sea Fortress" was made by me, and I was the executive director."
"Huh?" The horses almost thought they heard wrong.
The execution strategy of "Sea Fortress"?
Wouldn't that be a complete blow to Lao Liu Shitiao Street?
What level of game is "Sea Fortress"?
That is the existence of Hard Steel Skyfire Studio!
Not counting the foreign "Counter-Terrorism Plan", among the current domestic self-developed FPS games, "Sea Fortress" ranks second, and no one dares to rank first. It's so awesome!
Some people even speculate that with the current number of players in "Sea Fortress", in addition to selling fire unicorns, they can do some marketing and recharge consumption activities, and their monthly income can at least double or triple!
The outside world does not know the specific income of "Sea Fortress", but according to estimates, the monthly revenue should be around six to seven million, and the net income must be at least three million.
You know, this game has only been online for more than a month.
Judging from the long life of FPS games, there is no doubt that the monthly revenue of this game will exceed 10 million in the future. This is a money tree that has just sprouted!
What level is the main strategy for this kind of game?
If you choose any larger game company, the boss will have to do the same thing!
The buddy who was building bricks with him a few months ago has become a big shot in the industry in the blink of an eye.
This makes the horses a little bit unacceptable.
It's not that I don't like my brother, the point is that this thing is a bit too outrageous!
Huang Sibo didn't hide it anymore. He told everything about his interview with Tengda, how he made "Sea Fortress" under Mr. Pei's suggestion, and how he got excellent employees and received 1 million investment to make short videos.
The group of horses listened and kept falling into a daze.
Is there such a good thing?
With Huang Sibo's resume, it is very unreasonable and outrageous to be able to interview and join such a rich game company.
As a result, he was directly promoted to the executive director upon entering? And he also made "Sea Fortress"?
As for getting the 1 million Dream Fund...this matter is already nonsense!
"I know, these things you heard may be a bit too shocking, but...it's all true."
Huang Sibo's eyes were sincere.
The horses were silent for a long time.
"Brother, can you help me push inward?"
"I will submit my resignation application to Lao Liu tomorrow."
Resign immediately, this is Ma Yiqun's most urgent idea right now.
Look at what life has been like for your brothers these past few months, and then look at yourself...
People are more likely to die than others!
Huang Sibo described in detail Tengda's working environment, employee benefits and many other aspects. No matter which aspect it was, the Ma group was envious.
"Of course there is no problem with internal recommendation, but...I don't know what the specific criteria for President Pei's selection are."
"Whether you can pass the interview is up to you."
Ma Yiqun nodded quickly: "No problem. Sibo, tell me, what was the situation like during your interview? What do you need to prepare for?"
"I was?"
Huang Sibo recalled the scene at that time: "To be honest, I felt like I was going to get cold. I just took a resume and wrote down my work experience truthfully."
"True?" Ma Yiqun was a little surprised.
If it were written truthfully, how ugly would the resume be?
Can all of these be admitted?
Huang Sibo nodded: "Yes, I wrote it truthfully. And let me tell you another thing. Lao Liu also went for an interview at that time, working closely with me, but he was not admitted."
A group of horses: "..."
Even more confused.
Huang Sibo thought for a moment and said: "Based on my understanding of Mr. Pei, he should have a unique vision and be able to see the hidden qualities of each person beyond the resume."
"I think you must not falsify or embellish your resume too much. For Mr. Pei, this may be a deduction."
"Of course, it's up to you to decide how to do it. I can't guarantee it."
Ma Yiqun nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem. I'll prepare my resume when I get back!"
