We start a company not to make money, but to change the world and change human life. Making money is just a casual behavior. This sentence was leaked online by someone, and it attracted unanimous praise from netizens.

They all call it a conscientious company.

Naturally, this also aroused the disdain of several major enemies.

Make money, make money, why are you so elegant? The three major portals secretly disdain it.

If you don't make money, why are you running a company? If you don't want to make money, why are you charging for props? Isn't this just to make money? What nonsense are you talking about here!

"How is Ultima Online?" Ding Sanshi asked.

Since online games can make money, and the daily income of such a hot QQ farm can exceed 100,000, then the world's first online graphic game they introduced will naturally make even more money.

"Debugging has been completed, and the final bug self-check is in progress, as well as renting servers and recruiting relevant network administrators." the technical director reported.

"What do you think about the fees?" Ding Sanshi asked.

At present, they are still debating the issue of charging, and there has never been a very suitable charging model.

Before this, in the United States, the charging model for "Ultana Online" was monthly payment, which was about 15 US dollars a month. If you convert this, it would be expensive. That would be almost 100 RMB a month.

Obviously, no player can afford this.

NetEase obtained the copyright of "Ultana Online" relatively cheaply, far less expensive than MSN. After all, MSN is backed by Microsoft. Although "Ultana Online" is backed by EA, which is also a large company, EA and Microsoft are not on the same level.

In particular, EA mainly produces stand-alone games, and is just trying out online games. Therefore, the terms given are very favorable, with an annual agency fee of US$1 million. In addition, 15% of the revenue belongs to EA.

Compared with Microsoft's conditions for NetEase to be an agent for MSN, they are much more generous. Ding Sanshi spent a lot of money to get this. The annual operating fee is 10 million US dollars. If NetEase cannot afford such a large amount of agency fees, then Microsoft will

They will be compensated with their equity. The specific equity is based on its operation. If the operation is worse, the equity demand will be more. Up to 40%.

Needless to say, the conditions are so harsh. But there is no way, the other party is Microsoft. It is the largest IT company in the world by market value, and it is also a super profitable IT company.

It can be said that Microsoft can live without MSN market, but currently NetEase really cannot live without MSN.

For MSN, Ding Sanshi does not attach too much importance, because no matter how it is operated, the ownership belongs entirely to Microsoft. NetEase will never want to get involved. Therefore, Ding Sanshi wants to make a breakthrough in "Ultimate Generations".

Originally, we were planning to charge fees. After all, this is how EA operates. We certainly cannot charge a monthly fee of US$15 in China, but we can reduce the price. For example, it can be 20 yuan or 30 yuan a month.

They have been negotiating precise monthly fees so that most players are willing to spend money to play the game.

But now, Qin Feng's QQ Farm's prop charging has opened a window for them. Maybe they can also charge for props.

"I think we can pay for monthly fees and props at the same time!" said the marketing director. "Just like Qin Feng's QQ Farm, you can play without spending money. Spending money will just make the game more fun!"

Ding Sanshi nodded.

"Obviously our "Ultimate Online" cannot be free of charge. After all, this is a large-scale online game, not a simple game like QQ Farm that can be made by just a few college students. Therefore, a monthly fee is necessary. In this way, players can only

You need to top up the monthly fee, and you can play the game as much as you want for a month. I suggest that you can use hourly billing or monthly billing." The marketing director said, "In this way, some cash-strapped players can be given freedom.

choose."

The two modes of timely charging and monthly charging are in parallel, which is undoubtedly very suitable for all kinds of players.

"In addition, we can also charge for appropriate props." The marketing director said, "Refer to Qin Feng's QQ Farm, various prop charges have brought a lot of revenue. We can also learn from them and charge for props.

For example, in "Ultimate Online", there are various props that need to be synthesized. The higher the level of the props, the lower the synthesis rate. We can sell some related synthetic materials so that players can synthesize them multiple times without having to collect them hard!"

"Then it's a question of pricing for these props." Ding Sanshi nodded.

"In terms of price, we can't learn from Qin Feng. His pricing is just causing trouble for himself. It will be difficult to increase the price in the future. Therefore, we set a higher price in advance. In my opinion, 10,000 ordinary players will not pay much attention to the game.

The expenses are nothing compared to the expenses of a rich player. We use the payment system to make money from ordinary players, and use props to make money from rich players. In this way, we allow ordinary players to experience the experience by spending only a little money on game cards.

Games. Rich players can spend a lot of money to get an extremely good gaming experience. Let ordinary players become stepping stones for rich players!" the marketing director said, "The game is also a world. There are naturally people in the world.

I want to become famous, I want to be the best in the world!"

"Well said!" Ding Sanshi took the lead in applauding.

This time, they solved the problem that NetEase had been struggling with for a long time.

"Then everything is set up like this." Ding Sanshi's eyes were full of expectation.

If online games are feasible, then they will start to create their own online games. All this depends on the current situation.

As for Xinlang, Wang Zhidong is working overtime to develop Xinlang's farm game. At present, since there is no better way to deal with QQ's sweeping trend in the social media market, we can only follow suit.

You have to grab some market to come back. You can't just sit back and wait for death.

As for Zhang Zhaoyang, he is constantly promoting his Yahoo search engine. Because of Yahoo’s endorsement, Yahoo is currently the best Internet company in the world, especially its boss, who is also from Baodao and of Chinese descent.

In these days, if a Chinese-American is so successful, he is very popular among the Chinese people.

Therefore, Zhang Zhaoyang is currently relatively prosperous. The search engine market is almost divided into two by him.

Jiuzhou Engine and Yahoo Engine are currently the mainstream in the market. Of course, Jiuzhou Engine has the advantage of being first in line and currently occupies about 70% of the market share.

Yahoo engine accounts for about 30%.

Although he only occupies a small part of the market, Zhang Zhaoyang is satisfied at the moment. After all, compared to Xinlang and Wangyi who are struggling, he is undoubtedly much more nourished.
