Chapter 38: Game Star website

While Chen Ping and Lu Dongyu were discussing the development of the second game, the phone rang on Chen Ping's desk.

Chen Ping answered the phone, and then waved his hand. Lu Dongyu nodded and left. Anyway, the things that should be said have already been said, so he will not continue to disturb Chen Ping's work here.

In the past few days, although Chen Ping has to deal with many things, the most important thing is to answer the phone!

Because every person who calls on Chen Ping’s landline is almost all about advertising and other cooperation matters. This is one of the only two profitable ways for the game "Plants vs. Zombies"!

In the past few days, Chen Ping has received a few similar calls, leaving behind several merchants’ contact information, and those merchants have also given their respective advertising fee quotations, but it is not too high at present. There are only five companies, three of which offer only 500,000 yuan, one is 800,000 yuan, and the other is 1 million yuan.

Such a price is not much compared to the investment in "Plants vs. Zombies", but in Lu Dongyu's view, the starting point is not low!

The final selling price of these advertising spaces will definitely be higher than these, but Lu Dongyu can't say how high it can be.

However, even if you sell six advertising spaces at a price of 1 million per advertising space, that is a big profit!

For the game "Plants vs. Zombies", a total of only a few hundred thousand costs were invested in the development process. Now that the download volume on the website has reached the standard, these costs have already been fully recovered, and the rest no matter how much you earn It was made for nothing!

With millions of funds invested, even if Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. is now starting to develop the second game, it is sure!

After all, in the later stage, the game "Plants vs. Zombies" can be sold with foreign agency rights. It only needs to be brewed for a period of time. As long as Coslight Technology's funds reach tens of millions of levels, it is completely possible to develop an online game!

However, the specific decision-making still needs Chen Ping to make himself, and Lu Dongyu is not easy to interfere, so he can only give his own suggestions.

But Lu Dongyu couldn't think of it anyway. Although he was satisfied with the price of advertising fees, Chen Ping was the opposite!

After Chen Ping received those calls, his first reaction was to sneer!

Want to buy an advertising space in "Plants vs. Zombies" for 1 million? What a joke!

Is lard blindfolded?

I took advantage of it. I really thought I didn’t know how far this game of "Plants vs. Zombies" can go.

No one understands the real potential of this game better than me!

Want to pit me?

Chen Ping didn't know how many merchants he had scolded in his heart!

A bunch of unseen things!

The game "Plants vs. Zombies" did indeed achieve great success in a short period of time in China in the previous life, but that is because Baokai already has a foundation in country M, whether it is propaganda or other aspects, it has enough Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. is completely different!

Quite simply, when Baokai company promotes this game, can it be willing to take tens of millions out, can Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. get it?

Surely not!

Coslight Technology’s current total assets are only less than 1 million, and there is no room for large-scale publicity. "Plants vs. Zombies" can achieve the current results, completely relying on its own level of gameplay, not speculation at all. The heat coming out!

Such a game, if there are sufficient publicity channels for publicity, can be 10 times more popular than it is now!

If only now, an advertising space is indeed worth about 1 million, but its real potential is at least several times more than now!

Sell ​​the advertising space now, Chen Ping will only agree unless his brain burns out!

So although he had a good discussion with the few merchants, and politely left the contact information of the other party, he never thought about contacting such a few short-sighted guys!

The reason why he was careful to deal with these merchants who came to talk about advertising space in the early stage was to use these merchants to spread his attitude, so that everyone knew that "Plants vs. Zombies" wanted to recruit advertisements!

After this news spreads, once "Plants vs. Zombies" achieves better results, businesses will definitely flock in the future!

Moreover, the price will rise all the way!

Therefore, although Chen Ping is busy now, he has not been really worried!

The reason why he told Lu Dongyu that he had set aside a full half a month was to give the game "Plants vs. Zombies" longer gestation time!

Therefore, when Chen Ping picked up the phone, he still maintained a polite tone and said with a smile: "This is Coslight Technology, who are you?"

Opposite, a clear female voice rang out: "Hello, I am the editor-in-chief of Game Star website, and my name is Luo Xueshan. I want to talk to your Chen Ping Chen about the interview, okay?"

The female voice from the other end of the phone was very crisp and soft. It sounded like a spring breeze.

Chen Ping was the same. Hearing this voice, he felt a good impression. But when he heard the name reported by the other party, Chen Ping was stunned!

Game star website! Luo Xueshan!

Damn, celebrities!

Chen Ping was a little excited.

In his previous life, Chen Ping was also a programmer. Although he has not worked in game development, he is a computer worker after all. Similarly, he is also a game enthusiast. Even after he went to university, he was even more knowledgeable about games than Wang Yang. A bit more fanatical!

Therefore, for the two names of Game Star and Luo Xueshan, Chen Ping can't be familiar with them anymore!

The game star website, in a few years, even more than ten years later, has been called by many people as one of the three largest single game websites in China!

Moreover, the game star website seems to be the latest of these three establishments, but Chen Ping cannot remember exactly when it was established.

But now, in the early days, the game star website should still be based on online games. It will not shift its focus to stand-alone games until a few years later. How did Luo Xueshan remember to call herself for an interview?

Coslight Technology has only one stand-alone game "Plants vs. Zombies" under its name!

Speaking of Luo Xueshan, it is not a simple character.

She is the most famous editor-in-chief of the game star website. Since the game star website was founded, she has been on the game star website. It can even be said that Luo Xueshan has contributed to the development of the game star website to the later stage!

How could Chen Ping not be excited when such a character contacted him?

However, his temperament is not bad anyway, he adjusted right away, restored his calm, and said with a smile: "Hello Editor Luo, I am Chen Ping!"

Luo Xueshan was taken aback for a moment, and was silent for a moment.

When she first heard Chen Ping’s voice, based on Luo Xueshan’s sensitivity to voice, she could immediately tell that she should be a very young person, only about twenty years old, although her judgment might also be wrong. But she didn't think she would be wrong. After all, Chen Ping's voice recognition is still very high, and there shouldn't be much mistakes.

Will a young man in his 20s be the boss of Coslight Technology?

The possibility is too low!

That's why Luo Xueshan said the first sentence!

But she didn't expect that the person who answered the phone turned out to be Chen Ping himself!

Luo Xueshan hurriedly laughed and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, our game star website is going to have a concentrated promotion recently. We will select a few of the most popular and most potential games on the market to conduct a professional analysis and report. In addition, we need to develop these games. The boss of the company or the person in charge of the development team conducts an interview. Do you have time recently?"

Chen Ping pondered for a moment without hesitation. He just thought about the time he was able to spare recently, and then asked a little uncertainly: "Is there any, but can you see dinner or the time after dinner? Really Sorry, our company’s "Plants vs. Zombies" game has just been launched. The company's business is relatively busy, and I am afraid I can't spare time during the day!"

"Of course! May I ask Mr. Chen, you are in Anhe City, Dongjiang Province, right?"

"Yes, I will not leave in the short term."

"Okay, in those four days, on June 24, I will go to Anhe City for a face-to-face interview with you. Will Mr. Chen have time that day?"

"Yes, just take advantage of these few days I can also make some preparations, so as not to make a fool of myself in the interview, ha ha..."

"Hey, Mr. Chen joked, then I look forward to the day I meet you!"

The two were polite, and then Chen Ping hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ping also thought about it.

When Chen Ping just came back from his rebirth, there was a memory replay. His own memories of 20 years are very clear, even now, he still hasn't forgotten.

But the premise is that he can only remember things that Chen Ping had paid attention to in his previous life, and things that he had remembered!

Some things that Chen Ping hadn't paid much attention to in his previous life, or even things he didn't know, were naturally impossible to know in this life!

Chen Ping recalled it carefully. It seems that in his previous life, he did not carefully check the information about the game starry sky. He only remembers that the game starry sky was a game website founded this year, that is, in 2003. The early stage was mainly based on the Internet. A comprehensive gaming website focused on games, and a few years later, probably in 2007, the focus shifted and the website became a gaming website dominated by stand-alone games.

Later, Game Star also became one of China's three major stand-alone game websites!

In addition, the two websites, which are side by side with Game Star, and even more powerful than Game Star, were founded more than two or three years earlier than Game Star.

However, in his previous life, Chen Ping knew more about the game Xingkong website than the other two websites. This may also be a matter of personal preference, and it does not involve the strong and the weak of these websites. .

Now, although the game star website is still in its infancy, it already has a certain name in the game industry, especially the game reviews of the game star website and various news reports in the game circle. The credibility is very high. Luo Xueshan, as the current editor-in-chief of Game Star website, and the future editor-in-chief, is also very professional in games. Although she has not participated in game development, she is very authoritative in game reviews.

It is said that he looks very good...

Chen Ping rubbed his chin and smiled, but he didn't care about it either.

Although Luo Xueshan is young and beautiful, she wants to be a lot older than herself. In 2003, she seemed to be nearly 30 years old, right?

10 years older than Chen Ping!

He is only slightly older because of his mental age, so he appreciates Luo Xueshan's beautiful appearance.

But what he is more interested in now is the next interview!
