Vol 2 Chapter 810: The last straw

Chapter Eighty Hundred and Ten

The last straw

All walks of life around the world agree that this decision to sell virtual resources to replace the traditional charging model of online games is Lin Feng's major decision-making mistake in saving his virtual life charging model, and major manufacturers in the world will never pay for this major decision-making mistake. . But who could have expected that McDonald's and KFC, the world's top 500 companies, will join Virtual Life with such shocking news and launch virtual fast food services in it.

100 million yuan is enough to buy the virtual fast food service qualification for the virtual life in the next three years. This price is insignificant compared to the annual global advertising investment of McDonald's and KFC. However, this is extremely shocking news in the online game industry.

For 100 million yuan, the two companies are 200 million yuan. This makes the eyes of the envy of many online game companies flushed, dumbfounded, eloquent, and envious to death. While they are still worrying about whether they can maintain a balance of income and expenditure each month, the "Second World" has already begun to make a big profit. How can this make people feel balanced. In particular, this is a project that was not favored by everyone, and was even rated as the most significant decision-making mistake in Lin Feng's life. Who would have expected that now it is starting to make money!

Of course, everyone does not believe that virtual life has embarked on the "bright road" from now on, at least not in their hearts.

Many game company bosses, industry media, and experts still hold an attitude-a mere RMB 200 million, which is surprising. But it is not enough to maintain the various expenditures of the "Second World" in virtual life. At present, the world's highest number of online users in Virtual Life has exceeded 26.1 million, and the daily operating cost is 550,000 US dollars, which is 200 million US dollars in one year and 600 million US dollars in three years. The 200 million yuan is converted into US dollars, but it is more than 24 million US dollars, and it is the virtual fast food service fee for the next three years. To be honest, this little money is not enough for virtual life.

If more manufacturers cannot be attracted to enter this market, virtual life will become one of the biggest problems restricting the development of the "Second World". ——The British Times said.

Compared with the pertinent comments of the British Times, the Sun, The Washington Times, Asahi Shimbun and other newspapers have been slandering along the way-McDonald's and KFC entered the virtual life together in order to continue to dominate the global fast food catering industry, in order to combat "starting fast food restaurants." "But this does not represent the success of Lin Feng’s advertising replacing the online game charging model. On the contrary, the continued silence of major global manufacturers now proves once again that global manufacturers will never pay for Lin Feng’s major decision-making mistakes.

Looking at the reports in The Sun and The Washington Times, Lin Feng smiled contemptuously. These newspapers have forged a "deep hatred" with them, and they have a lot of stance that they will not give up. Of course, a large part of the reason is that these newspapers are not mainstream authoritative newspapers. Most of them are known for sensationalism and want to borrow themselves to become famous. Of course, it is also true that I am a Chinese to become the richest man in the world, which has made major Western media secretly uncomfortable.

However, their remarks did have a lot of negative impact on the "Second World". After all, the unanimous criticism of the global media has somewhat worried many manufacturers and investors, and even the news that McDonald's and KFC became virtual life customers. Unable to increase the share price of "Second World". We must know that the current maximum number of online users in Virtual Life is more than 26.1 million, this record is second only to Crazy Farm, but relatively speaking, Crazy Farm is easy to get bored, but Virtual Life is not. It has too deep connotation and too much playability. Big. It is conservatively estimated that its life span is at least ten years or even longer. After all, virtual life can be experienced as a new life.

Such a popular game can't increase the share price of "Second World", which clearly illustrates the problem.

"Boss, it seems that global manufacturers are still hesitating!" Wu Zhaopu said with a headache. As stated by newspapers such as The Sun, many manufacturers believe that McDonald’s and KFC have entered virtual life to launch virtual fast food services to suppress their "starting fast food restaurants", not because of the profit prospects, so many companies are still Wait and see.

Lin Feng threw the newspaper in his hand on the table at random, looking at the big headline on it-no one paid for Lin Feng-slapped his palm and sniffed.

"If they don't come in, I will force them in!" Lin Feng smiled coldly.

The wait-and-see attitude of global manufacturers, in addition to watching the prospects of virtual life, is also testing the attitude of the "second world". Although the three-year advertising price of 100 million yuan is cheap, if it can be cheaper, it will earn a point. The business philosophy of all companies, so I want to take the opportunity to see if we can keep prices down. If the "Second World" is in a hurry, they can take the opportunity to make a big bargain.

Unfortunately, they ran into Lin Feng. Although Lam Fung’s main wealth for becoming the world’s richest man comes from the "Second World" stock market value, it is undeniable that if Lam Fung’s other companies are listed, Lam Fung’s assets will definitely be far higher than existing wealth, and personal assets will break through. Hundreds of billions of dollars is by no means a dream. And so many companies under Linfeng can join Virtual Life without exception, and all of the companies under Linfeng have competitors. And these competitors are not fools, and they will never sit back and watch. And this heart can be taken advantage of by Lin Feng.

"President Li, prepare to let'Baidu' enter the virtual life." Lin Feng called the president of "Baidu" Li Yanhong (Lin Feng owns 55% of Baidu's shares).

"Well, okay, Lin Dong, I am ready to enter virtual life a long time ago. This is the best time for'Baidu' to go abroad." Robin Li has long been preparing to enter virtual life and provides search engine services for all players in virtual life. . For example, players can use "Baidu" to search for all tasks in the game, all fast food services, fast food locations, or other information resources where they want to go. Of course, they can also search for other players' current locations and tasks. Of course, these high-level searches naturally require game currency.

When "Baidu" also joined Virtual Life at a price of 100 million yuan in three years to provide various search engine services to all gamers, the world was shaken again. Of course, for the major media that have been slandering Lin Feng, this is just Lin Feng's last dying struggle, it is just a bait for Lin Feng to use his own company to attract other manufacturers from around the world.

However, in contrast to the ridicule and disdain of the global media, the global search engine giant, Google, is holding an emergency meeting. Of course, this meeting naturally did not allow Lin Feng's spokesperson for "Google" to attend.

"Everyone, what do you think?"-"Google" CEO Eric Schmidt looked at the "Google" two founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page and said.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page looked at each other and sighed.

"Contact Lin Feng, although'Google' has now occupied more than half of the global search engine market, it is undeniable that virtual life has become the most frequently searched word on'Google'. It is conservatively estimated that global players have exceeded 150 million. Ten thousand people, and this number is still rising. According to my prediction, in three years, the number of global players may exceed 500 million. Because this game is really very creative. 500 million, currently only the number of people online in the world About 700 million users." Google founder Larry Page said helplessly.

"Yes. If'Baidu' is allowed to take a big seat in the game, when the players of virtual life are used to using Baidu to search, our "Google" engine will be hit the most." Sergey Brin, another Google founder It's also a headache.

"It's just that'Baidu' belongs to Lin Feng. I worry that Lin Feng will favor Baidu. After all, in virtual life, Lin Feng has the final say." Eric Schmidt reminded.

"Well, we naturally know this. But Lin Feng also owns 5% of'Google' shares, and there is one more point. If he is too partial, it will directly affect his strategy of replacing traditional online game fees with this advertisement. He is a smart man. Naturally, I understand that everything has a degree. And I firmly believe that Google's technology is the world's first." Larry Page confidently said.

Sergey Brin nodded. Lin Feng favored his company in the game, which was long expected. As long as it is not excessive, it is acceptable. What's more, they are helpless now and must enter a virtual life. Otherwise, let "Baidu" catch all the Internet users from all over the world in the future, and they will have a "cup" at that time.

Then Eric Schmidt, CEO of "Google", contacted Lin Feng to discuss the issue of joining "Google". In the end, "Google" bought the virtual life search engine service for the next three years at the same price of RMB 100 million, and officially competed with players.

In virtual life, players can purchase "Baidu" or "Google" search engines to serve themselves and find everything they want to find in the game. As for which search engine the player buys, it is up to the player to choose, depending on the service provided by "Baidu" and "Google" which is better!

"Google" also officially announced that it will join Virtual Life. When it provides search engine services for all Virtual Life players in the next three years, the industry is once again shaken.

——Ha, this is just another trick by Lin Feng. But we believe that this is just a glorious prospect. What's more, whether it is joined by McDonald's, KFC, or Google, they can obtain real benefits through virtual life (McDonald's and KFC can launch online fast food ordering services, and Google is originally an it company, and it is normal to base itself on virtual life), but other Can the company get real benefits? ——The Asahi Shimbun of Japan sarcastically said.

Compared with the ridicule of newspapers, magazines and other media, the major manufacturers around the world feel a sign that the rain is coming, and it seems that a new revolution is coming.

"Liu Yingying, are you ready for Dingdang.com to join Virtual Life?" Lin Feng called Liu Yingying, the president of Dingdang.com, a high-achieving student from Peking University who had followed her all the way.

"Haha, Lin Feng, don't worry. It's already ready." Liu Yingying said with a smile.

Later, "DingDang.com" announced its full membership in Virtual Life, providing virtual personal item auctions and express delivery services for all Virtual Life players. In the virtual life, if the player has extra things, in addition to selling them to the system for recycling at half price, they can only be given away or discarded. But "Dingdong.com" allows all players to auction what they don't want through the online auction situation. At the same time, the "Unlimited Express" of "DingDang.com" helped it deliver the goods free of charge.

Of course, this free home delivery is actually just a piece of code of the system, and there is no cost at all. However, there is no courier service of "Dingdong.com". If players want to get something, they have to get it themselves. If the weight of the object you want to move is too heavy, which exceeds the range that the player's physical attributes can bear, you cannot move it, and you must ask other friends for assistance. Obviously, this is more troublesome. But now, with "Unlimited Express", everything is so simple.

When "Dingdang.com" appeared in the virtual life, the world's major manufacturers had a faint feeling of eagerness to try. They have seen the business opportunities and advertising effects. Just wait and see, the last wait and see.

However, in the face of this situation where the rain is about to come and the wind is overwhelming, many media are still stubborn, and they still mock Lin Feng for filling all of his own industries, and will only lose his wife and break the army in the end.

But at a critical moment, the world's largest retail chain giant-"Wal-Mart" shot.

"Mr. Lin, we want to join Virtual Life and provide all kinds of daily necessities, furniture, decorations, etc. for all virtual players to help them decorate their virtual homes in virtual life." Walmart President Li-Sco Special call Lin Feng.

Hearing Wal-Mart's call, Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened. If “Wal-Mart” is willing to join the virtual life, it will cause a “domino” bone effect, which will become the last straw that will completely overwhelm the balance in the hearts of major global manufacturers.

"Great, Li, I am very happy that Wal-Mart can choose to join Virtual Life. I believe that'Wal-Mart' will definitely get the rewards it wants." Lin Feng said very excitedly.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, do you know who proposed this plan to me?" Lee Scott said with a smile.

"Who?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you are really forgetful! Of course it is your spokesperson, Miss Huang Shuqi, which she suggested. After our discussion, we adopted this suggestion." Lee Scott said with a smile.

is her! Lin Feng was slightly startled, thinking of Huang Shuqi's reluctant but somewhat resentful look when Huang Shuqi left, Lin Feng's feelings of relief came to his heart. Now listening to Lee Scott's tone, it is obvious that Huang Shuqi has developed well in "Wal-Mart".

"By the way, Mr. Lin, your spokesperson, Ms. Huang, is very popular. Many young guys in the company are very interested in him and want to pursue her. But she refused them. You have to be careful. Otherwise, what? God, a handsome young man came out, but he robbed your little lover away!" Lee Scott joked on the other end of the phone.

Lin Feng laughed and scolded. But my heart is somewhat blocked. For Huang Shuqi, Lin Feng didn't know what it was like now, anyway, it was complicated. But now is not the time to deal with personal relationships, I am still young, and there will be more things to deal with in the future. Now, first develop your career.

Subsequently, "Wal-Mart" announced that it would join Virtual Life for a total of 50 million RMB for a year and provide virtual department store retail services for all players.

Once this news was disclosed, the industry was shaken like immortals crossing a catastrophe, the world was full of thunder, and earthquakes were shaking.

Wal-Mart joined Virtual Life, and it was still joined at a price of 150 million yuan in three years, a price that was twice as high as before. This is really surprising and even shocking. You know, Wal-Mart has always seldom advertised, even if it advertises, it is mostly to remind consumers-Wal-Mart always provides you with the best and most trusted brands at the lowest price.

Now, Wal-Mart has joined Virtual Life uncharacteristically, and it has joined Virtual Life at a price of 150 million yuan in three years, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

——I firmly believe that Wal-Mart’s joining in Virtual Life and selling virtual goods to all players online can enhance Wal-Mart’s image in the hearts of all players and enable Wal-Mart to remain the world’s largest private company. ——Said Lee Scott, President of Wal-Mart.

Boom! Lee-Scott's speech made global manufacturers no longer hold back and no longer hesitate. Begin to throw olive branches to the "Second World", asking about franchise prices and related matters.

At this time, the world's major media are stupid.

What's this, this, this? ——The Sun and other media were speechless in consternation. I don’t know what happened to Wal-Mart. How could it suddenly want to join Virtual Life? Are the major manufacturers in the world crazy? How could they want to join Virtual Life? This is just a game, just a game.

Crazy, crazy! ——The Sun and The Washington Times reported the matter with big headlines, and commented that the major global manufacturers will pay the most painful price for this stupid behavior. It is definitely the worst decision to spend a huge amount of money in advertising in the game, absolutely!

However, no matter how the Sun, Washington Times and other newspapers criticize, they cannot stop the enthusiasm of major global manufacturers. Snow-like letters of franchise swarmed in, in stark contrast to the previous Menkelolque.

"Haha, boss, this time we can make a profit! But how do we deal with these joining letters? They all need to join, how do we deal with their needs?" Wu Zhaopu showed a happy and troubled expression. It's simply not flat!

Lin Feng smiled.

"Ziling, help me prepare a press conference!" Lin Feng said with a smile. Previously, these reporters had ridiculed their virtual life advertisements instead of the traditional online game charging model. Now if they don't fight back, they would be too bullied. And also just take this opportunity to deal with this matter!
