Chapter 71: Xue Mingtao Home

The game "Plants vs. Zombies" was launched on the game star website on the third day, that is, 72 hours, the background download data has reached 1.8 million!

This is an extremely gratifying data!

Since the establishment of the Game Star website, although the number of users has reached tens of millions, there is no game that can reach this kind of data in just three days!

It's not that there are no more popular games on the website than "Plants vs. Zombies", it's just that those games did not have such a high download volume when they first went online!

After all, as a stand-alone game, "Plants vs. Zombies" is completely free and attractive!

With such a high download data and a good momentum of development, the merchants who called Chen Ping in the past few days have also increased their advertising fees step by step. Just now, Chen Ping received a call. The other party directly increased the advertising fee to as much as 5 million!

This is already one of the highest asking prices among the many merchants who called Chen Ping.

In the game "Plants vs. Zombies", Chen Ping set up a total of 6 advertising spaces, two of which are large advertising spaces, and the other four are slightly inferior.

And the other party offered a price of 5 million, of course, the request was one of the two largest advertising spaces.

However, Chen Ping did not immediately agree. Although he dealt with it with a smile on his face, after putting down the phone, Chen Ping still had a look of dissatisfaction.

Short-sighted!

These merchants really think they are just a businessman who just debuted, don't they have any vision?

Although it hasn’t been long since I started doing business, I still have nearly forty years of life experience in my previous life. I haven’t eaten pork or seen a pig run?

The development prospects of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" can be seen by the technical staff in the company who specialize in game development. Some people are younger than their previous lives, and they all know the future of this game. Don't you know how far you can develop?

Are you really being taken advantage of?

Chen Ping felt slanderous for a while, and then left the matter behind.

During this period of time, I have called Chen Ping and wanted to buy advertising spaces. There are already more than 20 merchants. The prices of these merchants are also rising step by step, and the speed of improvement is getting faster and faster. .

Chen Ping is also very clear that this is his strategy that has been responded to!

So many merchants contacted him, but he never let go, nor did he intend to sell the advertising space at all. This is already an extremely obvious signal!

He just wanted to tell those businesses that he was not a young white man who didn't understand anything!

If you want to buy the advertising space of the game "Plants vs. Zombies", you have to pay the same price!

As expected in Chen Ping's mind, the two largest advertising spaces would have to be at least 15 million yuan!

As for the other four, they must be at least seven or eight million or more!

Before and after, how can I bring myself at least 60 million yuan in income!

This is just an advertising space, as for foreign agency...

In the recent period, some foreign game companies have also contacted Chen Ping, and they also want to win the agency rights of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" abroad, but their target is only a certain area. Or the agency of a certain country, Chen Ping has always been noncommittal.

In fact, in Chen Ping's mind, the foreign agency rights of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" are also the top priority!

This is related to the subsequent development of the "Plants vs. Zombies" series of games. If the agency rights are split and handed over, the profits will indeed be greater in a short time. But for the future development of the "Plants vs. Zombies" game, It's not a good thing.

In Chen Ping's mind, this game will develop a series of derivative products in the future, and even a few years later, it will develop mobile games, etc. If the agency rights are distributed, it will be troublesome when subsequent products are launched. There are so many things!

It may even cause irreparable losses and impacts on this game brand!

Therefore, in order to be foolproof, Chen Ping still wants to package and sell the agency right now!

In addition to China's internal, foreign game agency rights, directly sold to a company, signed a long-term cooperation contract!

In this way, although the revenue will be much less in a single game, in the future, after other versions of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" are launched, it will save a lot of trouble!

Chen Ping had already considered these things.

He is very clear that in the market, one must take one step, take three steps, and look forward to the long-term development!

Although Chen Ping is only a novice in business, he is very good at these things!

Recently, in Coslight Technology, the online e-commerce sector has not yet started a project, but the company's second game has already begun to be put on the agenda.

Chen Ping spent most of his busy time discussing the development of the second game with Xue Mingtao from the Game Development Department.

Xue Mingtao has also become busy recently.

Although he had just entered the job, Chen Ping gave him an extremely important task.

hiring!

Chen Ping's original request to Fengxiang Headhunting Company was that the manager of the game development department was able to recruit a complete game development team on his own.

Xue Mingtao naturally meets this requirement, but it will take time.

Most of those mature game development technicians already have a company for which they are employed. It is not so easy to find people.

Although Xue Mingtao has a good reputation in the game development circle, the matter of digging people is not as simple as imagined. At present, he has not successfully digged people, but Xue Mingtao has contacted many people and they are all in The period of negotiation and persuasion.

Xue Mingtao also knows that although what he is doing now does not seem to have much to do with game development, it is like a headhunting company digging people everywhere, but this is vital to the future game development of Coslight Technology. !

This is one of the reasons why Xue Mingtao looks at Chen Ping differently!

The matter of game development is not to talk about such simple, mature game developers. There are not many in total. Only people in the circle can know who has the best technology and who has more outstanding ideas.

If the recruitment of technical personnel is really completely left to the headhunting company, I am afraid that the people they find may not be competent for future game development work!

Only the manpower Xue Mingtao hired himself can use more freely!

So when Chen Ping made this request, Xue Mingtao was interested in such a small company that was just starting out.

In his opinion, Chen Ping's decision can definitely be made by an insider. At least he has to have a certain experience and vision in game development to make it so.

Otherwise, if another person is replaced, I am afraid that the recruitment of technical personnel will be directly transferred to the headhunting company.

On Xue Mingtao's side, he was liaising with one technician after another, and he was also discussing the development plan of Coslight Technology's second game with Chen Ping.

For the development of Coslight Technology’s second game, Xue Mingtao naturally has his own ideas, but after several discussions with Chen Ping, he suddenly discovered that many of Chen Ping’s ideas seem to be similar to those of popular games on the market. Some are out of place, and have extremely innovative ideas in many ways!

At first it sounded a bit unrealistic, and the ideas were wild and wild, but after Xue Mingtao calmed down and thought about it, he was shocked to find that these ideas of Chen Ping could even be regarded as an innovation in the game industry!

At present, the popular online games, stand-alone games, and routines on the market are similar. Even Xue Mingtao himself has been following the old path in game development.

But Chen Ping is different!

Some of the concepts in the game proposed by this guy are completely ahead of this era!

It's totally different from my own ideas!

In fact, this is normal.

If nothing else, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, the development is step by step and gradual. Every once in a while, there will be a game that is innovative in a certain aspect, but it is by no means a complete innovation, it is just a certain That's all!

But Chen Ping is different!

Chen Ping in his previous life is also a game enthusiast. Although he is not a **** game player, Chen Ping also knows well about the development of the domestic game market.

It is not difficult for Chen Ping to propose some innovations in the game industry that will appear in the future, integrate them into the game, or even directly propose a brand new game mode!

And this kind of thinking makes Xue Mingtao always shocked!

In Xue Mingtao’s view, although Chen Ping’s ideas have not really experienced the baptism and testing of the market, there is a great probability that they can be born out of the sky like the game "Plants vs. Zombies". The innovative gameplay, sweeping the world!

In the final analysis, Xue Mingtao is just a game developer is more interested in game development than anyone else!

After Chen Ping put forward some of his ideas, Xue Mingtao immediately became a workaholic, and started to do game planning one after another crazy!

Even though these game plans were denied by Chen Ping time and time again, Xue Mingtao was never tired of it. Instead of complaining, he became more enthusiastic.

However, Xue Mingtao didn't actually know that Chen Ping had already had a certain plan in his heart, but he was still hesitating now and didn't take any action.

Chen Ping has played the popular games of the previous life, whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, and after being reborn, he has experienced the memories of the previous life again. Chen Ping was also impressed with the routines of those games, and selected a few of them. For Chen Ping, the development of a game that is bound to become popular is extremely simple.

But the biggest problem now is funding!

Each different game requires different development funds and timeline. For some simple games, the investment may only be hundreds of thousands or even millions, and the development time is only one or two months. It will not last more than six months.

But for some complicated games, the investment will reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions! It takes at least half a year to develop!

Now, which one to choose for the second game that Coslight Technology will develop has become the biggest problem in Chen Ping's mind!
