Chapter 2285: Free is the most expensive

"If the game Legend is available in the PC side in China, then my suggestion is not to implement a point card charging system, but to run it in a free mode."

Chen Jianghai gently tapped the table with his fingers, and a rhythmic tapping sound came.

Liu Jianming on the other end of the phone was silent, he was thinking about Chen Jianghai's words.

But he couldn't understand. They spent a total of US$5 million to buy the copyright of the game Legend, but Chen Jianghai wanted to open the game for free to others!

why is that!

Could it be that Chen Jianghai plans to lose money and make a lot of money in the next game?

Liu Jianming still doesn't understand the most expensive principle that free is, so it's not surprising that he is confused now.

"Mr. Chen, forgive me for not understanding your thoughts. We spent such a huge price to buy the copyright of this game from As Company, but today we will distribute it to players for free?"

"Will this make our game seem too pricey? And we invest so much, so we can't get it back at all..."

Liu Jianming said in a tangled manner.

He is very grateful to Chen Jianghai. Now everything about him cannot be separated from Chen Jianghai's help.

It is precisely because of this that he is eager to succeed. At least he has to do something for Chen Jianghai to see, at least he is worthy of Chen Jianghai's cultivation of him.

"Jianming, your idea is very wrong."

Chen Jianghai said slowly.

It is normal for Liu Jianming to have this idea now. After all, the current era has great limitations, and no one has really started running free games.

All game modes on the market are made through point cards and buyout systems.

These are already outdated for Chen Jianghai, but they are still trendy for Liu Jianming.

"The free model we implemented is not really free. As you said just now, you can add some more powerful props to the game, which will greatly attract players to devote their time to the game."

"But what about those who can't invest their time?"

Chen Jianghai's question opened up new ideas for Liu Jianming.

If you don’t have time to invest, you will naturally have to invest money.

After all, in the game Legend, it has a free trading platform, so when someone does not have enough time to complete the plot and obtain props, they will bid for these props.

"Mr. Chen, are you saying, we sell props?"

Liu Jianming took a deep breath and he figured it out.

Chen Jianghai obviously has no deep involvement in the game industry, but he is very familiar with some behavior patterns in the game.

In fact, this kind of prop buying model has not appeared before, but it has not developed very well without exception.

If there is a popular game, will this kind of separatism be changed?

"You're right, you're selling props."

Chen Jianghai nodded and said, Liu Jianming was teaching-worthy. Obviously, if he could run a new game company and specialize in free games, he might have achieved something in the future.

"There is a saying that free is the most expensive. The game Legend has a very good potential, and I am very optimistic about it.

However, according to your idea, if we want to adopt the development model of PC-side Internet, we still need to consider a cost issue for players."

Chen Jianghai continued to analyze.

The legendary popularity was in Internet cafes. After all, around 1999, the domestic Internet flourished, but the price of computers was very expensive, and not every family could own this thing.

It is precisely because of this that the rise of Internet cafes is so natural.

Playing games in an Internet cafe has a bonus for online fees. If you add a game point card, the cost will be even higher, which is very unfavorable to the sustainable development of a game.

Chen Jianghai continued to analyze, and Liu Jianming listened carefully.

Chen Jianghai would not easily analyze these thinking to others. He was indeed determined to cultivate Liu Jianming, so he explained the tricks to him.

"Our game is on the PC side, but there are not many domestic players who really own computers.

So the main place for this game to appear in the future is Internet cafes, and the Internet fee for Internet cafes is not cheap, which is what we need to consider."

"Free is just a gimmick to attract players, allowing more people to recognize the existence of this game, and can also enhance the users of our game."

"With more users, then turning on the paid mode is where we really make profits."

After Chen Jianghai analyzed it through, Liu Jianming was soon shocked.

Only then did he realize that Chen Jianghai's research on the game payment model was very profound, and it didn't look like an outsider should have.

"Mr. Chen, after hearing what you said, I was really enlightened."

Liu Jianming complimented.

But his words came from the heart. If it weren't for Chen Jianghai, he would have probably never thought of such an idea.

Liu Jianming couldn't wait to realize Chen Jianghai's words now, so he said hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I will return to China as soon as possible. I will bring back the legendary game and several other games."

"Okay, you'll come back first. If you have any questions about funds, you can just come to me."

Chen Jianghai smiled and said, as if he had seen the prototype of the grandeur that year.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianghai thought that Ma Tian in the United States had actually already had many users and was linked to the game industry, so he was very likely to succeed.

The concept of cc is still proposed by Chen Jianghai. After Chen Jianghai gave a direction, Ma Tian began his own research.

Now his achievements are largely derived from Chen Jianghai. This platform promotes and distributes games, so Ma Tian will definitely not refuse.

However, the game Legend may not be popular in the United States, and Chen Jianghai is a little hesitant.

The most likely thing now is to find Ma Huyue. His life is not good. The Oicq in his hand is currently developing. This project achieved great success in its previous life, but it has nothing to do with Chen Jianghai.

.

In this life, Chen Jianghai discovered Ma Yuehu in advance and guided them to establish Penguin. I don’t know what step has been made.

However, Ma Yuehu in his previous life quickly made instant messaging software through users accumulated by OICQ, and mastered a large amount of user resources, successfully transformed into the game field.

In this life, Chen Jianghai had already asked Ma Tian to start doing this.

Ma Huyue, I'm afraid he will directly change his development direction in the future.

And this development direction is the game.
