After listening to Lu Yiming's explanation, Li Yiwen complained: "Others sell games in a one-shot deal, but how about you charge by the minute? If you don't know, you might think you are a telecom operator. Is it really okay to make money so crazy?"

And if you do this, will anyone be willing to pay?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said disapprovingly: "People need entertainment when they are alive, especially young people who like to be exposed to new things. And social interaction is also one of the main needs of people. We have made stand-alone games into a networked mode, which solves the entertainment problem at once

With these two major needs including social networking, are you still worried that no one will be willing to pay for it?"

When Li Yiwen heard this, it was true. The game was already fun, and if you could play with a group of people, wouldn't that be double the happiness?

Is it reasonable not to spend money on such a happy thing?

In the end, Li Yiwen failed to convince Lu Yiming, but he was convinced by Lu Yiming.

"Okay, I'll go get the money right now."

After taking over the company, Lu Yiming asked Jiang Rongfa: "Have you ever played "Diablo"?"

"Diablo 1" was released in 1995 and is an action role-playing game released by Blizzard.

Recently, there has been a lot of news that "Diablo 2" will be released in 2000.

As a hardcore game player, Jiang Rongfa has certainly played this game, and is familiar with the plot and characters in it.

"You want me to imitate Diablo? Diablo 2 is about to be released. If we try to make the same game again, how can a pirated version beat the genuine one?"

Lu Yiming showed a meaningful smile: "There is an old saying, those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die. I am just giving you an example to let you understand what an Internet game is. Who asked you to copy it?"

"As for you, I will use this game as a basis, and then change the plot and story style to an oriental fantasy background to make a brand new online monster-fighting and upgrade game. The game mechanism should be simple and direct, even elementary school students can get started directly.

The kind of operation. At the same time, the graphics of the game cannot be too good, at least most of the computers in Internet cafes must be able to run smoothly."

Jiang Rongfa felt that he was a ambitious game producer, so after listening to Lu Yiming's needs, he immediately quit his job and even sarcastically said: "The game made according to your requirements is completely rubbish.

Will anyone be willing to play the game?"

Lu Yiming was not angry, but instead expressed his analysis: "Xia Guo has just reformed and opened up, and the vast majority of people have never been exposed to video games, so no matter how bad our games are, they can still meet their basic entertainment needs. As for

The base of the small number of users who like to play high-quality console games is too small, and it is difficult to serve them. It is too troublesome to make money, so it is better to just give up."

Although these words were not pleasant to hear, they struck a chord with his soul and gave Jiang Rongfa a sense of enlightenment, as if he could instantly see clearly many problems that he had never been able to solve before.

At that time, he went overseas to start a business. The reason why he chose to open a game company was mainly because he liked playing games and saw that foreign game companies were very profitable.

But in fact, he didn't understand anything about analyzing the market and users. Now after listening to Lu Yiming's analysis, he suddenly realized: "I said why I couldn't make money before. It's because I'm going in the wrong direction."

Lu Yiming saw that his brain finally came to his senses, and then he showed a look of relief: "That's right, you don't even understand whose money you want to make. It's weird that you can make money."

"As for those so-called hardcore players, they are all hard-working, difficult to serve, and stingy. They are not willing to spend money at all. Meeting their needs is completely thankless. You have to win over and unite.

Yes, it should be the broad masses of the people."

"Especially those young people who have never been online before, and those nouveau riche who have suddenly become rich but have never seen the world. As long as your network is large enough and your player base is large enough, even if it is only one percent or even

One in a thousand paying users is also a blood profit.”

Jiang Rongfa suddenly became enlightened, and his whole person suddenly became full of energy.

Although Lu Yiming's request is bizarre, with money, the company can survive, and he can continue to engage in game development. He will always find opportunities to make a good game in his mind in the future.

"What you said makes sense, let's start right away and start the new game project!"

"So, what's the name of this game?"

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: ""Legend of Hot Blood". I will write you a plan for the basic structure of the game. You just need to find people to implement it according to my plan. You can recruit the team yourself."

"no problem!"

Most of the troubles in the world are caused by lack of money. Now that we have money, these problems are naturally no longer a problem.

Jiang Rongfa was like a nouveau riche with retaliatory consumption. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to find a big studio right now, create a hundred workstations, and recruit a hundred top game developers!"

It’s more than four million. Isn’t that how you can make it casually?

Lu Yiming had no objection at all to Jiang Rongfa's "generosity".

"It's up to you, but my request is to be quick. I'll give you three months at most. If the game can't be released on New Year's Day, I won't invest any more in the future."

Lu Yiming personally came up with the setting and structure, and Jiang Rongfa was only responsible for setting up a team to realize the content. If it couldn't be completed in three months, it basically meant that there was no value in cooperation - because the original Legend of Blood was released in 2000.

It's about to go public.

Although the time given by Lu Yiming was not long, thinking of the huge sum of more than four million, Jiang Rongfa gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, I will make the game even if I don't sleep for a hundred days."
