Chapter Eighty Five

Shaoanwuzhao

Virtual Life does not accept points, and does not sell any items to players, it will be free forever. Such slogans are extremely painful for all online game companies. How can an online game be completely free, how can it be completely free! Previously, the so-called free games such as Zhengtu were just a gimmick. In fact, you can earn more by selling props. But Lin Feng preached that virtual life is completely free, never sell any props, and does not charge any form of charge——

how can that be? ——Many game company bosses have an incredible face. I can't imagine what Lin Feng is going to rely on to maintain all the operating expenses of his virtual life? According to the secret speculation of many game company bosses, he wondered if Lin Feng wanted to use his virtual life to gain popularity, and then make money through other games. But can it last? Seeing that the number of online users of Virtual Life continues to soar, many online game companies are showing big question marks.

No matter what method Lin Feng adopts to operate, whether it is a supercomputer or an ordinary computer as the server, the number of servers is indispensable. Expenses for additional servers, leased lines, online gm, customer service staff, and maintenance staff salaries will all increase exponentially as the number of online users increases. If it cannot be profitable, it will probably become a major burden that drags down the "Second World". In particular, Lin Feng also won the virtual portrait rights of a large number of stars and celebrities, as well as expenditures for various activities, etc., which are huge expenses. Calculated in this way, according to the evaluation of major outside game companies, based on the current 10 million online players, the expenditure on all aspects of virtual life will be about 210,000 US dollars a day, and 76.65 million US dollars a year.

If the number of online users continues to soar, reaching 20 million, then a conservative estimate of the daily expenditure is also around 420,000 US dollars. Of course, this is only a conservative estimate. In actual operations, when the number of online players reaches a certain number, everything will change from quantitative to qualitative, and the real consumption will be far greater than theoretical data. If such a heavy economic pressure is completely free, the "Second World" will absolutely not be able to bear it. Moreover, the "Second World" also has two major consumers of funds, "amd" and "ati".

In this way, virtual life is completely free, and the prospects are not optimistic.

Under this kind of logical analysis, many game company bosses are now eager for more and more online players in virtual life to crush the economic chain of the "Second World" earlier, so that once the "Second World", the online game hegemon, collapse , Then other companies will have their early days. They will be able to share the market share left by the "Second World". But many game company bosses are not without worry, who knows what Lin Feng will have? And after the number of people really online reaches tens of millions, who can predict what will happen in the end. With such a large customer resource, it is hard to say how it will develop in the future.

The share price of "Second World", like the panic of many game company bosses, remained at around US$127.3, fluctuating slightly. According to common sense, Virtual Life, a game with more than tens of millions of online users, will directly bring a slight increase in the stock price, which is absolutely good news. But because the virtual life is completely free, market investors are uneasy. I don't see the prospects, I don't know where this virtual life will go after it is completely free to operate. Therefore, the stock price is like the uneasy heart of many investors, beating slightly, and the market is confused and uneasy.

Compared with the anxiety of investors and the expectations and anxiety of many online game company bosses, the media of various countries have made bold assumptions and guesses as always.

The British Times Financial Edition focused on the strategy of completely free virtual life-virtual life is completely free, promised to be free forever, so that all players can enjoy the joy of the game. From the player's point of view, this is certainly a great thing. But from an investor's point of view, this is not good news. If it is completely free, there will be no source of income. Without a source of income, how will the virtual life be maintained? Of course, we have reason to believe that Lin Feng, the youngest leader in history, is capable of changing all this, we believe.

Compared with the neutrality of The Times and even a bit biased towards Lin Feng, The Sun is much more acrimonious. Of course, this is their usual tactic, sensationalizing, nothing wrong-the "Second World" is over. In order to pursue popularity and maintain the status of the "Second World" in the online game industry, Lin Feng made the worst decision-completely free. We all know how an online game can be completely free. It requires money for leased lines, employee salaries, game development fees, maintenance fees, and so on. The money cannot fall from the sky. But Lin Feng, the young richest man, is completely free in order to pursue a little theoretical data. This will definitely have an absolute negative impact on the company. A young man is a young man. It is also luck to become the richest man. It will not make a big deal. This time let us see how he made money fall from the sky.

The Sun’s remarks are extremely sharp, even vicious, and Lin Feng can sue it. But if you dare to make this remark, the Sun is ready to go to court. In a lawsuit against the youngest and richest man in the history of the world, the Sun will never lose. Even if they make them lose money and apologize, they are willing to do so. At that time, the Sun newspaper became well-known by Lin Feng's fame. At that time, the Sun newspaper became the most sensational newspaper in the world, and the profits it brought could be more than the loss of some money.

Regarding the aggressive attitude of the Sun newspaper, wishing you to sue it, Lin Feng had no choice but to ignore it. This kind of newspaper like a mad dog, the more you provoke it, the more proud it is, and the more it screams with you. This kind of mad **** is also an important reason why the Sun has repeatedly made amazing moves, but no celebrity is willing to care about it.

But don't be too proud, and sooner or later let you go bankrupt. ——Lin Feng turned off the official homepage of The Sun at will, vowing secretly in his heart. It's not like the Sun insulting himself once or twice, and sooner or later he will show it a good look. Besides, I also need my own mouthpiece in Europe.

The 21st century is an era of eyeball economy, and public opinion cannot be controlled without its own media. Unable to grasp public opinion, they fall into a disadvantage in many things. This is also an important reason why "Microsoft" has suddenly realized that the threat of "Google" is no less than that of companies such as "ibm" and "Apple". It is a pity that when "Microsoft" realizes the horror of "Google", it is too late. "Google" has grown.

Lam Fung absolutely does not want to become a "Microsoft" in this matter, with hindsight. After all, whether it is your own team or your own company, you need a "mouthpiece" and a "mouthpiece" to build momentum for yourself. Especially after the Houston Chronicle and his own "fsn-houston" TV station gave Lin Feng the sweetness, Lin Feng is more eager to have his own media power in Europe.

At this moment, the "Second World" headquarters in Shanghai.

"Boss, what are you going to do now?" Wu Zhaopu and others watched the increasing number of online users every day, constantly refreshing the online record of large mm games, and they were happy but also secretly worried. Completely free is an important reason for the popularity of virtual life today, but if it is not profitable, it can be a disaster. What's more, the company has promised to be completely free forever, and will never sell any props to players, or sell any point cards, so there will be absolutely no charges in the future. Otherwise, it will have an impact on the reputation of the entire company, which is the most taboo thing in the industry.

Of course, Wu Zhaopu also knows that Lin Feng is planning to use advertising to maintain a balance of payments, but so far, Wu Zhaopu does not know what Lin Feng is going to do. Naturally, it is inevitable to be anxious.

Lin Feng looked at Wu Zhaopu with an anxious look, turned around very relaxed and leisurely, and poured Wu Zhaopu a cup of tea slowly.

"Uh, boss, you'd better tell me what you are going to do, or I will be anxious to death." After taking a sip of tea, Wu Zhaopu put the teacup heavily on the table and asked anxiously.

Lin Feng looked at Wu Zhaopu's anxious expression, secretly amused. For this advertising marketing model, Lin Feng confirmed the marketing strategy through discussions with Abby Cohen and others. However, it was inevitable to show off the news in advance, so he did not tell Wu Zhaopu and others. Now the "Second World" has grown, with a market value of nearly US$90 billion, and has become a super-large multinational company.

Since the company's development, in addition to the continuous expansion of its industry and market value, its employees are also expanding. From a company with dozens of people and hundreds of people, it has grown to a large company with more than 40,000 employees (mainly the "amd" and "ati" factories, accounting for 70% of the "Second World" employees). With so many talents coming, it is inevitable that dragons and snakes are mixed, and some people with unpredictable intentions will come in.

After all, the "Second World" holds the world's leading "cloud computing" technology and has always been the coveted object of major IT companies. Moreover, "Second World" has repeatedly led the world in the online game industry, and the industry is also very curious about where these ideas come from? Is there a similar idea in the "Second World" that has not been developed? If so, can they (referring to other online game companies) plagiarize it, and then use this to seek a development opportunity and a market for themselves and other companies.

Under this circumstance, Lin Feng naturally wanted to cover his marketing strategy to death. Moreover, there is another reason why Lin Feng had to be cautious. Although the "Second World" has become a large multinational company, all employees are nestled in this small office building, where people and snakes are mixed, and the whole company knows it a little bit of trouble. Before the "Second World" headquarters skyscraper is completed, everything must be careful.

Of course, Wu Zhaopu is also one of Lin Feng's most trusted people in the company, and this marketing strategy naturally needs to inform him as soon as possible.

Lin Feng looked at his watch, and it was just after the off-duty time.
