Chapter 689: Ding Sanshi's Expectation

Fantasy Westward Journey is about to open beta!

The news is that Ding Lei, President of NetEase, called Lin Feng himself. After all, Lin Feng owns 19.3% of NetEase’s shares, second only to Ding Lei, and is NetEase’s second largest shareholder, and Lin Feng’s "Second World" is also a leader in domestic online game companies. Ding Lei called Lin Feng to inform Lin Feng, which also showed himself. Sincerity. Of course, Ding Lei still had a little thought to call Lin Feng, but after hesitating for a long time, he was not embarrassed to say it.

Lin Feng received a call from Ding Lei, and the people were slightly shocked. This "once" has swept the country and created the largest number of online games in China (2.56 million). It is finally going to be publicly tested.

Fantasy Westward Journey is completely independently developed and operated by China NetEase. The game is based on the well-known chapter story of Journey to the West, with the characters in the q version, trying to create a romantic online game style. Fantasy Westward Journey has more than 220 million registered users. Of course, the most important thing is that Fantasy Westward Journey is a 2d turn-based online game, and it is also a type of online game that is currently lacking in the "Second World".

At the beginning, under the advocacy of Lin Feng, "Second World" abandoned the 2d turn-based online game market. Apart from the lack of energy and the ability to develop and operate the online game market at that time, the "Second World" was mainly to promote other online game companies to enter 2d online games. The market, to fight the "90%" magic baby, this Japanese online game from Japan Square Enix.

Later, due to the difficulties of NetEase's operation, Ding Lei found Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng could finance NetEase, so as to launch this 2d turn-based online game that NetEase devoted all financial resources and manpower to build. Originally, Ding Lei wanted to raise funds for the "Second World", but Lin Feng naturally knew the future of Fantasy Westward Journey. There is no reason for such a super profitable game to be given to others, and his financial resources are completely sufficient for financing.

What's more, if "Second World" finances NetEase, there will be some worries when launching similar online games in the future. Therefore, in the end, Lin Feng refused Ding Lei's request for financing from the "Second World" by saying that the "Second World" was not involved in 2d turn-based online games. He personally financed him and obtained 19.3% of NetEase's shares.

Now, Fantasy Westward Journey is finally going to open beta, and it officially announced that Magic Baby is about to "end of life". "Back then" was that Fantasy Westward Journey ended the dominance of the magic baby in the 2d turn system. Now it is still the situation where Fantasy Westward Journey ended the dominance of the magic baby. The inertia of this world is really amazing enough.

But when it comes to Fantasy Westward Journey, as a former player, Lin Feng first thought of "RMB Warrior". Although Zhengtu may be the first domestic online game to have a "RMB warrior", players can directly use RMB to purchase various props in the Zhengtu game to improve the attributes of the game characters. It is also the first time that an online game directly links the money and equipment in the game to the real RMB. Therefore, players who purchase equipment and props in RMB are dubbed "RMB fighters."

As for how profitable such linked games can be, a set of data can clearly show the huge profits of this money-making model. Zhengtu currently has 700,000 online users, but its monthly net profit is as high as 8.5 million US dollars. The "Second World" is equally divided, with a monthly profit of up to 4 million U.S. dollars. Only this half of the profit sharing is stronger than the one-year profit of many domestic game companies.

Shi Yuzhu said-raise 100 people to play with 1 person. And this one person is the absolute player who supports the profit of the journey.

Fantasy Westward Journey naturally does not make money by selling equipment, materials and other props, but by selling point cards. However, if you want to reach level 155 after the top-level "Ascension" in the Fantasy Westward Journey, you can wear top-level equipment and top-level pets without investing tens of thousands of yuan, so don't even think about it. However, compared to the hundreds of thousands or millions of RMB invested in a single account on Zhengtu, that is much less. But a game, with tens of thousands of yuan invested at every turn, is already very shocking. It is not an exaggeration to call him a "RMB fighter".

Of course, unlike Zhengtu*’s naked killings, which target human weaknesses—competitiveness, vanity, and incorrigible fighting for wealth—and the game developed, Fantasy Westward Journey is more about creating romance, warmth, and teamwork. Wait for more positive games, and ordinary players can also have fun in the game.

auzw.com However, it is a pity that Lin Feng feels that after Fantasy Westward Journey changed the master plan later, in order to earn more profits, he continued to develop more players who squeezed money from the players’ pockets. The new measures have led to a decline in popularity. And the most serious is the blow to the studio.

It is true that the existence of the studio will disrupt the balance and financial system of an online game, but the studio also earns game currency and equipment under the rules of the game, and then sells the money in exchange for RMB. As a result, the official indiscriminate suppression. While cutting off the financial resources of the studio, it also cut off the financial resources of many ordinary players in the game. This is also one of the fundamental reasons directly leading to the prosperity and decline of Fantasy Westward Journey in the future.

Another reason is the balance of the twelve sects of Fantasy Westward Journey. In Fantasy Westward Journey, there are three races (immortals, demons, humans) and twelve sects (four sects for each race), and they adopt a relationship of mutual restraint. In the beginning, the game settings were relatively balanced, there was no strongest profession, only the strongest players.

But with the popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey, the number of players has increased, especially "RMB fighters". While investing a lot of manpower and financial resources, almost everyone hopes that their role is the strongest. However, due to the relationship of mutual growth and mutual restraint, and the Fantasy Westward Journey advocates team combat, it is not like "one person destroys one country" like Zhengtu. This naturally makes many players dissatisfied. With so much money, they can't become a "thousand-fighter" or "the enemy of ten thousand people". Naturally, they are dissatisfied. Especially by other sects, players with less investment, poor equipment, and low-level players are "killed" by other sects, and naturally they feel uncomfortable in their hearts. So they went to the official website to protest, saying that this profession is weak and that profession is not good.

In order to cater to the players, Fantasy Westward Journey in the middle and late stages constantly modified the attributes of each school. There has never been an online game like Fantasy Westward Journey, which changes almost every week. In the end, after the change is completely unrecognizable, players will naturally lose in large numbers.

This was supposed to be a mythical game in the Chinese online game industry. After all, a game that can be operated for 6 years (operating since 2004) is also a legend. Moreover, most of the time, it occupies the top of the number of online games online in China, and it is also one of the most profitable online game companies, which is really admirable. Lin Feng didn't want this game to be in "this world", and finally repeat the same mistakes again.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng called Ding Lei.

"Ding Dong, I have a few personal suggestions about Fantasy Westward Journey." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Dong Lin, if you can make comments, that is definitely the blessing of Fantasy Westward Journey, and the blessing of Netease." Ding Lei was excited when he heard that Lin Feng was willing to make comments. When Ding Lei informed Lin Feng that his Fantasy Westward Journey was about to be tested, he hoped that Lin Feng could give some guidance. However, due to the relationship between face, Ding Lei was really embarrassed to speak, and now Lin Fengken took the initiative and gave instructions. That is definitely great news.

Now Fantasy Westward Journey, after several years of development, is finally about to be listed in public beta. However, Ding Lei, who has experienced the failure of a big talk about the Westward Journey, especially the difficulties that NetEase is currently in, makes Ding Lei no longer able to bear failure. If the Fantasy Westward Journey fails again, NetEase will probably fall into an absolute accounting crisis, or even liquidation and bankruptcy.

Faced with the situation where success becomes benevolent, if Ding Lei is not worried, it is naturally a lie. Now that Lin Fengken has pointed out one or two, for Ding Lei, it is definitely no less than NetEase's stock rise by more than a dozen folds. No, that's more exciting than NetEase's stock rise more than a dozen folds. After all, the stock has risen, and if there is no performance support, it will still fall. But if you can get Lin Feng's guidance, it will be different. With the support of performance, the stock will definitely rise.

After all, Lin Feng is no ordinary person. In the online game industry, especially in the domestic online game industry, Lin Feng is equivalent to a "mythical" existence. The "Second World" created by him has created countless myths in the online game industry.

The legend set off a hot scene in China’s online game industry. Plants vs. Zombies created an era of white-collar games, and it also allowed casual online games to establish an unshakable position in the online game industry. Audition made celebrity endorsement games a fashion, and it also made countless original games. Fans of celebrities who play online games have become supporters of online games; Counter-Strike online, the first to propose Asia Internet; Jianxia Qingyuan online, is the first to use supercomputers as servers and hundreds of thousands of people to play games on the same server; and crazy Farm, a very simple stealing food + tower defense hybrid game, has created a Guinness world record for the number of online games in the world (the highest number of online players in the world exceeds 70 million, not counting the number of online crazy farms in China, otherwise it will exceed 100 million) , Of course, if Crazy Farm is considered an online game; also, the launch of the "Second World Club" has more than 7 million senior members. If Lin Feng goes to participate in political campaigns in other countries, these 7 million players will support , I am afraid that Lin Feng can easily ascend the throne of the supreme leader of a country.

This kind of miracle that is close to mythology has created Lin Feng’s wealth for an enemy country, and at the same time, it has also caused a rumor in the industry-as long as Lin Feng’s guidance can be obtained, any online game can be reborn, even if it is not popular. , Can also be all the rage.

Therefore, Lin Feng called Ding Lei at this time and said that Ding Lei had a few suggestions, why Ding Lei was not happy.
