#539 - PC Game
"Making this 'chicken-eating' game into a PC game isn't impossible!"
"But Mr. Ma, have you considered how to charge for this PC game?"
"Item-based charges? Time-based charges?"
Lu Haifeng didn't show any surprise on his face when he saw that Mr. Ma wanted to turn this 'chicken-eating' game into a PC game!
After all, with the game's current popularity, it would be foolish of Mr. Ma not to turn it into a PC game!
Mr. Ma was slightly stunned when he heard Lu Haifeng's words!
Mr. Ma has some experience in game operation!
This 'chicken-eating' game, like League of Legends, is a competitive game!
League of Legends uses a free-to-play model, generating profit through item skins!
If 'Stimulating Battlefield' were to adopt the same free-to-play model as League of Legends!
Achieving similar revenue would be much more difficult than with League of Legends!
League of Legends has many heroes, and Tencent can create different skins for these heroes, ultimately making a profit from the skins!
However, in 'Stimulating Battlefield', every player looks almost the same when they respawn!
Skins aren't very appealing to players, as FPS players focus more on the power of weapons!
If the game were to charge for items that increase weapon power, it would inevitably damage the game's fairness!
This wouldn't be a good thing for the game's development!
"Why not do it like Western countries do!"
Lu Haifeng didn't directly give Mr. Ma his answer!
After waiting for a while, Lu Haifeng finally revealed the charging model used by the beautiful country's PC games in his previous life!
Mr. Ma was troubled by this matter!
Hearing Lu Haifeng's words, a hint of surprise appeared on his face!
Clearly, the charging model proposed by Lu Haifeng was a very beneficial solution!
"President Lu, can this charging method really work?"
Mr. Ma asked Lu Haifeng, looking somewhat skeptical!
Although he was very interested in the method Lu Haifeng suggested, he still had to consider the situation in Great Xia Country!
After all, the copyright awareness in Great Xia Country wasn't very high in the past, making it difficult for many single-player game companies to develop!
Single-player games are purchased for a certain amount of money per copy!
Most game users in Great Xia Country wouldn't spend money to buy single-player games!
This led to many large single-player game companies in Great Xia Country eventually struggling to continue!
This situation made many online game companies realize that charging for games wasn't the mainstream development direction in Great Xia Country!
As a result, many game companies later launched free-to-play games with item-based charging models!
With this type of free-to-play game, you can play even if you don't have money!
But if you spend money, your strength will increase significantly!
This type of game did become popular in another way!
And it brought huge profits to online game companies!
Mr. Ma actually understood that developing this 'chicken-eating' PC game with this kind of purchase-based charging method was a very good approach!
But he was afraid that the game netizens in Great Xia Country wouldn't accept it now!
"Our domestic users' copyright awareness is constantly increasing!"
"Haven't you noticed that many people in the country are starting to value copyright?"
"This is a good opportunity to develop copyright!"
"If you're worried about this situation!"
"You can first launch a pre-sale of the PC game and see the netizens' reactions before making a decision!"
Lu Haifeng smiled and advised when he saw that Mr. Ma was still worried about this matter!
Mr. Ma was quite tempted by Lu Haifeng's persuasion!
After all, this method could allow his company to obtain huge profits and enable the game to develop in the long term!
"You're absolutely right, people's copyright awareness has begun to establish itself!"
"We can try this method!"
After listening to Lu Haifeng's persuasion, Mr. Ma also confirmed this idea in his heart!
After all, PC games and mobile games are different. PC games require larger servers and more modeling, and cannot be scaled down like mobile games!
After the two of them determined the sales method for the PC game, they began to discuss the cooperation for the PC game!
Finally, after nearly a morning of discussion, the two of them also determined the cooperation method this time!
Tencent was responsible for the development and release of this PC game!
Lu Haifeng granted Tencent the five-year adaptation rights for the 'chicken-eating' game!
As the holder of the game copyright, Tencent would pay 20% of the annual revenue generated by this PC game to Huaxing Technology!
The two of them officially established the cooperation between the two companies regarding this game in this way!
Lu Haifeng could obtain a certain income just by relying on the copyright, without any investment!
"President Lu, I heard that your company has plans to go public?"
After the two of them finished talking about the game-related matters!
Mr. Ma suddenly thought of something at this time and looked at Lu Haifeng curiously and asked!
After these few days of development, the scale of Huaxing Technology continued to grow, and the company's valuation continued to rise!
In the eyes of many capitalists and investors, Huaxing Technology was a sweet pastry, a cornucopia that could bring many economic benefits!
Many capitalists and investors are now staring at Huaxing Technology!
They wanted to obtain some shares of Huaxing Technology and ultimately realize profits!
Lu Haifeng naturally knew that Huaxing Technology was now being watched by countless people!
And among so many people watching, many were looking forward to Huaxing Technology going public!
"The matter of going public still needs to be discussed by all the employees of the company!"
"Even if it goes public, I'm afraid it won't be realized in a short time!"
Lu Haifeng looked at Mr. Ma, who wanted to get information out of him, with a smile on his face!
After thinking for a while, Lu Haifeng said with a half-truth!
Although Huaxing Technology now has the idea of going public, the actual time of going public cannot be revealed so easily!
Especially to tell it to a big capitalist like Mr. Ma!
Mr. Ma didn't say much when he heard Lu Haifeng's words with concealment in them!
After all, he knew that Lu Haifeng was no longer the young man he was back then!
"In that case, I'll take President Lu to see our Tencent's cafeteria!"
"Although our Tencent's cafeteria can't compare to yours, it's not bad!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ma!"
The two smiled at each other and skipped over this matter!
After all, it was not good to delve deeper into such a matter. The two had their own thoughts and were not on the same path!
