#139 - Chapter 139 Legend is now officially on the market!
The National Day holiday had one day of adjusted leave.
Sunday is a day off.
Saturday is a normal school day.
Legend will be released this Saturday at noon!
Except for the technology department, Longyu Network is ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Almost all other employees have been sent out, scattered to various provinces and cities.
Spending money!
Engaging in ground promotion!
Shanghai is a given.
Even in other cities, decent internet cafes have Legend posters.
This not only promotes the game but also indirectly promotes Qin Keqing.
Chen Hao is also very busy.
It has nothing to do with Legend; he's in the materials laboratory.
He's only responsible for arranging work, setting the general direction, and providing the corresponding technology. The rest will naturally be done by others.
With the current business scale, if he had to do everything himself, wouldn't he be too busy to handle it all?
For example.
The Legend copyright has been acquired, and the company has been built.
The necessary promotion has been done.
He has no intention of participating in the rest.
For another example.
Regarding the "China's Strongest Voice" variety show, he provided a complete proposal, and the rest was handed over to Xiao Ling.
He received a call yesterday saying that the official audition would be next week.
As for the shipyard…
Let's wait for the auction notice first, but it won't be too long, probably within a few days.
89…
90…
91…
Experiment after experiment.
Failure after failure.
Failure, for him, is as normal as eating and drinking. It's nothing special.
Each time, he still experiments very seriously and records each experiment's data, never ignoring any details just because of failure.
Failure.
The odds of 'winning' are extremely low!
From early morning until noon, he only drank water twice.
His stomach was rumbling.
Only then did he glance at the clock on the wall.
It's almost twelve o'clock?
He quickly took out his phone and turned it on: as long as he's in the materials laboratory, he won't turn on his phone to avoid being disturbed.
Today is Saturday's make-up day, and his wife is still at school.
So, he needs to have lunch with his wife.
As soon as he turned it on, just as he was about to contact Xia Qingmo, a call came in: "Haozi…"
The voice was hoarse.
As if he had been crying for several hours.
"Damn it!"
Chen Hao was startled: "Are you sick? Is it that serious?!"
"Sick, your ass!"
Deng Xiaoyan was furious: "I called you more than a hundred times. What immoral thing were you doing? Why wouldn't you turn on your phone?!"
Partly because he hadn't slept well in the past few days.
And partly because he was anxious about not being able to get through.
That's why!
His voice is hoarse.
"I was in class."
Chen Hao said with a smile.
"What class? Do you know that Legend was officially released today?!"
"You, the major shareholder, don't care at all?"
"I'll give you half an hour. If I don't see you, I'll…"
He thought for a moment.
Seemingly having no ability to threaten his awesome brother, Deng Xiaoyan said angrily: "I'll spread rumors about you!"
Chen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He could only send a text message to Xia Qingmo.
Then, he called Bai Tong: "Third brother, I have something urgent to go out. I can't have lunch with your sister-in-law at noon. Say hello to Zhang Yi and have them accompany your sister-in-law—organize a gathering on the weekend."
The last sentence was the key.
Upon hearing that the boss wanted to organize a gathering on the weekend, Bai Tong was immediately overjoyed.
He was ordered to handle it properly!
…
At 12 noon, Legend was officially released.
Chen Hao stayed in the laboratory until almost 12 o'clock.
Now it's almost 1 o'clock.
CEO's office.
"Haozi!"
Finally, seeing Chen Hao walk in, Deng Xiaoyan was about to cry: "I think… we're done for."
"Who's done for? What nonsense!" Chen Hao scolded with a smile.
Deng Xiaoyan was stunned.
That's right!
His brother has billions in assets and astonishing financial resources. How could he be easily finished?
It's just himself who's done for!
"I mean… Legend is done for."
Deng Xiaoyan handed over a data report from twenty minutes ago: "No one's playing! No one at all!"
It was officially released at 12 o'clock sharp.
He asked the technology department to send an online data report every half hour.
As a result…
Zero!
As things stand, the money spent on buying the copyright is not much. The real expense is setting up the company and the various promotions during this period, even frantically advertising on several major TV stations during prime time.
The 20 million invested by Hanteng Capital before has been used up.
The series of promotions alone cost more than 30 million, which was a new investment from the second round of funding.
"Are you stupid?!"
Chen Hao didn't even look at it, crumpled the data paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can: "The client is so big. How long does it take to download with the current internet speed?"
"After downloading, you have to install it."
"After installing, you have to apply for an account."
"Can you get it done in half an hour? Show me!"
With the internet speed in 2000, downloading takes a long time, not to mention the other procedures?
The data at 12:30 is meaningless!
After being scolded by him.
Deng Xiaoyan immediately woke up and said excitedly: "So… we can't be sure yet that no one is playing our game?"
"It's not that we can't be sure that no one is playing, it's that I'm sure that many people are playing."
Chen Hao frowned and said in a deep voice: "What I'm really worried about is whether the server can keep up—by the way! I specifically told you that the server group must be strong enough. We didn't cut costs in this area, did we?"
"No!"
Deng Xiaoyan immediately shook his head: "Hanteng Capital is handling this aspect, and they are always willing to spend money."
"That's good."
Chen Hao nodded.
"President Deng!"
At this moment.
A knock sounded on the door: "The 1 o'clock data is out!"
"Come in quickly!" Deng Xiaoyan shouted.
A man in his early thirties came in and hesitated when he saw Chen Hao.
"This is my brother Chen Hao, he's also…"
Deng Xiaoyan almost blurted out: "He's also my partner."
Longyu Network has three shareholders.
In the beginning, Chen Hao spent money to buy the copyright, claiming that he didn't understand games and letting Deng Xiaoyan do it.
At that time, the shareholders were just the two of them.
Later.
Hanteng Capital invested 20 million, and the shareholders became three people.
Although in fact, Hanteng Capital is Chen Hao's, which means he is also two major shareholders, Deng Xiaoyan knew that he couldn't reveal it—the identity of Hanteng Capital cannot be said, but the identity of another partner can be revealed to the company's senior management.
"This is Zhang Cheng, the technology department manager."
Deng Xiaoyan introduced.
"So you're the boss!"
No longer worried about secrets being leaked, Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "Both presidents, this is the registration volume at one o'clock, it has already reached 110,000 people!"
What does that mean?
In the memory of the previous life.
Legend started with a free test.
After two months of testing, the number barely reached 100,000.
In this life.
After a series of promotional methods, countless people have begun to pay attention in advance.
Breaking through 110,000 in one hour after launch!
In China in 2000, how many internet users were there?
Only 17 million!
Of course, Chen Hao had already provided a detailed proposal.
In the previous life, Legend first had a free test for two months before entering the charging stage: characters were not charged before level 7, and after level 7, there were two charging models, monthly cards and point cards.
This life is different.
There is no two-month free test. If you charge money from the beginning, many netizens may reject it.
His strategy is to allow everyone to play for free for the first half month, regardless of level.
Let you get addicted first!
Start charging after half a month…
Are you willing to give up your account and stop playing?
Hearing Zhang Cheng's data, Deng Xiaoyan couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
A dignified CEO, crying in public!
The copyright was bought by his brother with all his money, and he even borrowed a lot from his dad. He was worried about losing money and worked desperately.
A few days ago, he learned that Chen Hao was very rich, and the success or failure of Legend was not that important.
But that's for Chen Hao.
What about him?
Legend is his hard work, the result of his efforts.
It is also the first career that he, at the young age of 18, is striving for.
How could he not lose control when he learned of the success?
Of course, the data of 110,000 is just the beginning, the follow-up is the explosion!
