To make money!

How does the "Second World Theme Plaza" make a profit?

Regarding Wu Zhaopu's question, Lin Feng pursed his lips and smiled.

"Mr. Wu, do you think Chinese players have money?" Lin Feng asked suddenly.

Wu Zhaopu was stunned. Do Chinese players have money? This question depends on how you look at it. Judging from the prevalence of China's online game "RMB Warriors", Chinese players are quite rich. Investing in a game can cost thousands of dollars a month, and there are tens of thousands of people. The most is the journey of the "Giant Network". It is said that in order to be able to use one enemy thousand in the game, a player has thrown millions of RMB to build the strongest number of the journey!

From this point of view, Chinese players are far more crazy about games than any other country, and Chinese players are rich.

But from a practical point of view, Chinese players are poor and sad. Those "RMB fighters" who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a month are mostly working-class people. The reason why they spend so much money in the game is because they are poor. It sounds like a contradiction. But it is not contradictory. I only play games because I’m poor, and I spend hundreds of renminbi per month in the game, which is a very low cost compared to going outside and high.

A few hundred yuan can be fun for a month, and it's only a night in bars and other places outside, and you have to save a little bit, don't be too high, or it's not enough.

In this way, Chinese players have no money. But speaking of it, Wu Zhaopu still doesn't understand how Lin Feng plans to make the "Second World Theme Plaza" profitable.

Lin Feng smiled and slowly explained.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, if the'Second World Theme Plaza' wants to make a profit, there are nothing more than three points. One is to sell game peripheral products; the other is to build it into a tourist attraction to sell tickets; and the third is to develop it into a tourism and entertainment industry. Chain, so that tourists can linger here." Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu nodded. The "Second World Theme Plaza" really only has these three points if it wants to make a profit.

"And these three points all have a common premise, that is to attract as many tourists as possible to come and play!" Lin Feng said.

Wu Zhaopu seemed to have understood Lin Feng's intentions, but he was still a bit unclear.

"Mr. Wu, it's very simple. If you want tourists to come to play and be willing to pay for it, then we must have something to attract them." Lin Feng continued, "It is only by the "Light of the Century" and the "Dream World". It is far from enough. Even if we build various game character statues on the square to make it the world's largest statue square, it can only attract tourists to come and play, but cannot attract tourists to actively consume."

This is indeed the case! Even if the "Second World" spends a lot of money to build the largest private city square, build various game character statues, and become the world's largest, at most it is to let tourists (players) from all over the world come for sightseeing and want them to consume. impossible. This is not that tourists are unwilling to consume, but that the "Second World" does not allow them to consume. Only relying on a "dream world" to earn back the money for the construction and maintenance of the square, it is absolutely impossible! Unless, the entire building of "Century Light" is a huge entertainment and consumption place.

But obviously it is impossible for "Light of the Century" to transform it into this kind of entertainment and consumption place. So, what does Lin Feng want? ——Wu Zhaopu is full of curiosity about this.

"Haha, it's very simple, Mr. Wu, I want to build a number of game students*examination halls around with the'Light of the Century' as the center!" Lin Feng said with a fist.

Game student*examination hall? ——Wu Zhaopu talks about it.

"Yes! This game hall inspection hall allows players to feel the real game world in each hall hall hall. Each hall is a game theme, such as'Legendary hall inspection hall' and'Swordsman. Affectionate students * inspection hall','counter-strike students * inspection hall' and so on! Players can feel the real game world inside, and can also play live games inside. We can formulate various rules for players to fully enjoy inside Happy to the live-action game!" Lin Feng introduced.

"Boss, isn't this similar to the'Legend Theme Park'?" Wu Zhaopu thought for a while and said.

"Yes! The two are similar. The only difference between the two is that one is outdoors and the other is indoors. The "Game Student * Examination Hall" I plan to build will experience a completely different experience from normal life in a building. Life, and in the game arena, because it is closed, allows players to experience the most real game world without being disturbed by the outside world." Lin Feng said.

The "Legendary Theme Park" originally cost hundreds of millions of RMB. Although there are a large number of tourists, it is severely affected by the weather when it is outdoors. Once it is windy and rainy, or the weather is freezing, most tourists will not want to play. Although there are still many tourists willing to enjoy the extreme environment of the game in this kind of weather, this kind of people is still a minority. For most tourists, they are still willing to go to play in fine weather.

However, although Chu City is located in the plain, there are two rainy seasons a year, and it is too humid and hot. The temperature in spring is low (about 10 degrees), and the summer is overheated (about 35 degrees). Although it is good in autumn, the city’s Due to the geographical environment, autumn is relatively short compared to other places, and winter is relatively long. Therefore, only April, May, and September are the only days for tourists to enjoy the "Legendary Theme Park" in a year. In the rest of the month, most tourists have no intention to play.

Therefore, the "Legendary Theme Park" has had a very good business in the past four months, but it is usually exceptionally deserted. This is what Lin Feng did not consider when he chose the site. For theme parks like this, generally speaking, you should try to choose a place with warmer temperatures throughout the year. It can be hotter, but not too cold. Once it is too cold, any tourist will lose interest.

Therefore, the "games *examination hall" proposed by Lin Feng this time was decided to be built indoors, using high technology to artificially create various seasons and weather. With current technology, it is completely achievable. This not only overcomes the reason that the players' play is greatly affected by the seasons, but also has the advantage of allowing several “game students * inspection halls” to be connected in parallel, which can attract tourists to come to play more.

After all, it is really difficult for tourists to come and play in a lonely “game student *examination hall” from thousands of miles away. The so-called scale effect, as long as they are all close together, will have a knock-on effect. Of course, Lin Feng is more than just building an inspection hall for game students.

After all, those who love to play games account for less than a quarter of the number of tourists each year. In order to attract more tourists to come to play, Lin Feng will also build a film student *examination hall. Many movie scenes familiar to the audience are moved to the "Film Student * Examination Hall" (this is also the "Infinite Horror Theme Park" that Lin Feng has always wanted to build).

For example, in it, players can experience the tension and excitement of Resident Evil (movie), the horror and helplessness in the alien, and they can also be a "007" or even a "Superman!". In short, these things can be done using high technology.

Moreover, the sales of peripheral products of these things will be extremely gratifying.

Not to mention the various simulation equipment in the game, it will definitely be the dream of all players. As long as the price is reasonable, Lin Feng believes that players will buy some souvenirs for the games they have been crazy about. As for the film production *examination hall, there are more peripheral products that can be sold. For example, the role costumes in the movie, the various simulation props in the "007" movie, etc., these things can bring huge income to the company.

Of course, building a "game (movie) student *examination hall" can also solve the problem of insufficient space for holding the "Second World Players Annual Meeting" in the future, and then these "game (movie) students *examination hall" will be fully functional , Digest the crowd. At the same time, it can also provide catering and accommodation to match games or movies to provide services for players.

When Wu Zhaopu heard of Lin Feng's plan, he praised it. If Lin Feng's plan can be implemented, it is equivalent to saying that tourists can not only experience various "different world" styles, but also enjoy various cuisines, and they can live in it directly. Of course, the most exciting thing is that as long as tourists have money, they can completely isolate themselves from the real world, live there for a long time, and become a citizen of a "different world".

You know, in today's super fast-paced society, more and more people (mainly the rich) are eager to stay away from the hustle and bustle, away from the world, and live a different life temporarily. This is also the reason why many successful people will look for an extremely remote place with extremely attractive scenery every once in a while. Obviously, if this huge "game (movie) student *examination hall is built, they don't have to go all the way to find such a place. They can come directly to Shanghai and come to the "Light of the Century" to find such a world.

Of course, although this "game (movie) student *examination hall" is good, it is not without problems. The biggest problem is-funding. If you want to build a completely real "different world" as described by Lin Feng, then the required space is huge, and the funds required for this are gone, which is more than the 8 billion yuan budgeted by Wu Zhaopu before. I don’t know how many times, but this is the center of Shanghai! Does the company have so much capital?

Moreover, the acquisition of film copyright is also a problem. Otherwise, the outside world will not allow you to build a "film production *examination hall" at all. It must be infringement. Moreover, can high technology achieve the effect of being fake? Although Wu Zhaopu believes that the existing high-tech can still be fake, but the problem is back to the old problem-funding.

All the problems are actually one problem-funding!

"Boss, the company doesn't have so much funds to run such a huge plan!" Wu Zhaopu said with a headache.

"I know, so I will personally invest in the acquisition of the land. It belongs to my personal cooperation with the company!" Lin Feng nodded. As for the current situation of the company, Lin Feng couldn't be more clear. At this stage, he can only invest by himself. It is not impossible to save money. For example, relocating it to the suburbs of Shanghai can save more than half of the money. However, what Lin Feng wants is to make the "Light of the Century" the absolute city center of Shanghai, so this "game (movie) student *examination hall" must not be moved outside.

But the problem is that Lin Feng does not have sufficient cash. And for such a big plan, at least billions of dollars of funds are needed for turnover. Where does the money come from? Always relying on Lin Feng for loan turnover is definitely not the solution, as that will drag Lin Feng's bank down sooner or later.

Must think of some more ways to make money! And it must be quick money, hot money!
