Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 272 The grand blueprint of 4399

Swish, swish, three big words appeared on the blackboard,
Platform!
"Your thinking is still too narrow. We now have financial advantages, media advantages, and technical reserves. You should abandon the small workshop-style operation thinking and might as well open up the pattern."

Then Chen Hao explained the specific gameplay.

The power of an individual is small and limited. If you want to develop and grow quickly, you must learn to borrow power. Whose power can you borrow?
That is to let everyone join in to create the full banquet of flash games.

First of all, let the technology in Li Wu's Fluclight Studio stop developing the current small games at hand and go all out to build the 4399falsh game development platform, which can be understood as a 4399 game incubator.

This incubator is open to game developers from all over the society, and everyone can participate. Of course, if there is no profit and it is just generating electricity for love, this incubator will not survive long.

For this reason, Chen Hao proposed a game bounty incentive plan, which means that game developers can make flash games and use the functions and interfaces provided by the platform to upload their own flash games for free and put them on the 4399 website for players to play.

Since 4399 Game Network and 4399 Game Platform are two sides of one body, the data are all interconnected, and the former provides relevant data support for the latter.

The platform uses algorithms to derive a comprehensive popularity based on data such as the number of game players, game duration, likes and comments, and divides it into several levels as assessment indicators, and regularly pays corresponding remuneration to game developers.

At the same time, a game salary ranking list is set up, including the overall popularity of a certain game, the nickname of the game developer, and the cumulative remuneration.

This will attract more game development experts to join.At that time, we will use some bonuses to organize some small game development challenges and so on. There are many ways to play. Chen Hao mentioned it briefly but did not elaborate on it.

After talking about platformization, Chen Hao kept talking about how to monetize it commercially.

"If you plant a sycamore tree, you won't be afraid of not attracting the golden phoenix. The games on the website will bloom and the number will inevitably explode, which will definitely attract a large number of players to come and play. With people, you will have the capital to attract investment. Then with the help of Century Media resources for advertising investment, and you can play 30 seconds of ads on both sides of the web page and before the game starts.”

Li Wu was a little worried, "Would it cause resentment among players? After all, players' patience is limited."

Chen Hao thought about it for a while and came up with an idea. After all, this thing is engraved in his mind like muscle memory. "This is easy to handle. You can first run a 10s advertisement to test the players' acceptance. When the players get used to it, they will gradually increase it to 20s." , 30s. In addition, we can develop a membership system."

"Member?" Li Wu was confused.

"Yes, members. If you subscribe to 4399 membership, you can skip the ads and play games directly. Membership adopts a monthly subscription system, tentatively set at 10 yuan per month."

With this said, Li Wu, who has played many games, was also inspired, "Members can also have points. They accumulate membership points through game time or sign-in, etc. When a certain point is reached, they can be redeemed in the mall for some physical or Little virtual prizes.”

"Bingo, that's what it means." Chen Hao looked at Li Wu appreciatively. After all, he was a student who had listened to several of his classes and could still keep up with his ideas.

“Game platforms invest money to encourage game developers -> developers develop high-quality and sophisticated games one after another -> good games will attract more players -> more people will attract advertisers, plus members can The platform begins to make profits -> after making profits, more money will be available to motivate developers, and this will continue in a positive cycle, forming an ecological closed loop, becoming bigger and stronger, and creating brilliance together!”

In the autumn and winter of 2004, Chen Hao drew a circle on the blackboard, which created the heyday of 4399 mini-games in the next few years.

He and Li Wu were very excited, but after this set of punches, the three newcomers Li Xingping, Luo Haijian and Cai Wensheng were beaten into confusion, and even a small game website was played out?
The three of them understood it, and because they understood it, the shock was even greater.

This new boss seems to be very powerful.

This is the first time I have seen them earn money from advertisers as well as players. It is like eating from both sides. This kind of business logic is contrary to their understanding. If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

Finally, Chen Hao set a time point. Before the end of December, he wanted to see the plan just now go online, and communicated if there were any problems.

Before leaving, Chen Hao asked Li Xingping and his three brothers to participate in a training class at the game hall to improve their awareness.

Although the Game Hall has only been held for a few sessions, the effect is still very significant.

These trainees have performed very well in various business lines and have become the cornerstone of relevant departments. Many ideas have been proposed and implemented by them, and have achieved good response in the market.

By the way, it seems like he hasn’t started a class in a while.Hey, who made friends and businessmen not stop recently? He is focusing on one thing at the expense of the other.

Chen Hao was sighing when he suddenly sniffed, and a smell of pickled cabbage hit him, yue~~~
Chen Hao discovered that the smell came from the working area of ​​Tianxuan Studio, and couldn't help but walked over curiously.

Then I saw that some people here were working and some were sleeping on recliners. The tapping of keyboards and mice was accompanied by snoring, not to mention that there was still some harmony.

One by one, they looked like Chen Hao who had been in seclusion for the past few months. Each one looked more like a savage than the other.

An employee seemed to have just woken up, holding a toothbrush in his mouth and planning to brush his teeth. Suddenly he saw the boss, so he said hello and continued to wash up.

You must know that it is already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and I have just woken up, which is what the relaxed office environment of Century Interactive Entertainment allows.

Chen Hao had some enlightenment. No wonder Xu Changlong asked him for leave at the all-staff meeting a while ago. After all, Tianxuan Studio was in such a state that even if he attended the meeting, there would probably not be enough people to attend the meeting.

However, when this group of people broke out in such a working state and said that they had problems with their style and finances, Chen Hao was the first to not believe it.

This is burning vitality to develop the game. Without absolute love and belief in martial arts, it is impossible to achieve this level.

He finally found the Savage King among a group of savages.

When Xu Changlong turned around, Chen Hao was startled by the other party's state.

I saw that he had sunken eyes, an unkempt beard, the white shirt on his body was gray, and he had lost a lot of weight.

However, although Xu Changlong's image is sloppy, his spirit is very high.

Seeing the boss coming over, he thought for a while. Although there was still some finishing work to be completed, he would just take the opportunity to let the boss check and accept it, so as to prevent the other party from getting busy again. He didn't want to visit the thatched cottage again.

As if offering a treasure, Xu Changlong planned to show him the world of martial arts, so he grabbed Chen Hao's hand and walked to their exclusive R&D conference room.

Chen Hao broke free from the other party's hand, "Don't worry, tell me first, how many days have you not been home?"

"How many days?" Lao Xu suddenly felt a little confused, a month?Two months?

Since he was hit by his boss last time, the game he made himself felt awkward, so he learned from the experience and led the team members to hold back their anger and polished this game into a martial arts spirit. Qi Shen.

"It should be less than three months since I gave you a demo last time." Xu Changlong scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.

"Where are these other people?"

"It's about the same as me. I said I'm not old yet, but these young people still don't believe me."

A sober employee next to him was unconvinced after hearing this, "Xuda, we all respect the old and care for the young, so you should take it seriously."

"Go, go, I'm talking to the boss, you don't have the right to interrupt."

As he said this, he wanted to drag his boss to see their latest achievements.

Chen Hao remained motionless and said with a serious expression, "Now, I am announcing a three-day paid holiday for everyone at Tianxuan Studio. After three days, you take your people to the conference room next to me to conduct the acceptance inspection of "Martial Arts World."
