Different from the tension in the apocalypse, the development in the modern world was steady. To a new tech company like Future Technology, the government was supportive and gave the green light to Jiang Chen in many areas.
Of course, the reason why the local government was so friendly was due to the hundreds of millions of tax paid by Future Technology every month.
Who wouldn't want a money-making machine at home? It was full of political achievements. Not to mention how long had Future Technology been around? If it continued to grow, there was no guarantee that it wouldn't create a tech company not inferior to Tencent during his tenure.
On the other hand, because Future 1.0's user base continued to expand, the domestic user base already exceeded the 200 million mark, and the international users who downloaded the multilingual version also exceeded the 400 million mark.
With the rise of Future 1.0, business elites from all walks of life keenly sensed the scent of money, and all kinds of cooperation letters floated over like snowflakes. Xia Shiyu was also extremely busy because the company's president always disappeared from time to time …
Even a layman would know that in the age of the Internet, traffic was the most important thing. This could be seen from the operations of Beep Beep Taxi, Mobile Delivery, and other O2O models. In order to attract traffic, the operators were willing to spend a lot of money at a loss.
But Future 1.0 didn't need to spend money since no one could surpass artificial intelligence and performance enhancement. There was currently no company that could compete with Future Technology in this field, so users only had one choice.
Because of the monopoly of acceleration service and battery optimization service, after two months of free service, Future Technology "shamelessly" changed the two services to paid services. New users would receive a free two-month trial period, but in the third month, if they wanted to continue to enjoy the two services, they would have to spend 10 RMB to upgrade to VIP1 user.
In short, if they wanted to use a 1000 RMB smart phone and enjoy the speed of a 2000 RMB smart phone, they would have to pay the 10 RMB monthly rent.
Would people pay for acceleration services? The answer was obviously yes.
Imagine the games and apps that couldn't run on the phone before. Because of Future 1.0's acceleration service, your phone would no longer be burning hot just because you played a game, and you would no longer have to calculate the battery when watching a movie. Would you still be able to endure the previous phone experience?
Ten yuan a month, which was much cheaper than changing a cell phone.
Of course, when this charging program was first introduced, there was a lot of criticism on the forum. Those who hadn't paid VIP before said that it was a scam. When they downloaded it, they didn't know that it would cost money. Some people even said that they would delete Little White if it was charged.
However, these people were only a small group of people. Although there were many users, there were only a few IPs. It was obvious that they were hired by some bored guy.
A lot of paying users who upgraded to VIP1 stood on Future Technology's side and expressed, "Is 10 RMB a lot? Can I have a meal? " "Service isn't an obligation. Why are you spouting so much nonsense? If you don't need to delete it, don't drag down the average IQ of netizens."
Users who had yet to pay were relatively indifferent to the rules. As long as the service was worth the price, they didn't mind spending money. If he could afford a cell phone, why would he care about a mere 10 yuan?
But would those people really be willing to delete Future 1.0?
That month, the number of domestic users who upgraded to VIP1 exceeded 200 million, beating QQ members with a shockingly high payment rate. The market had given its answer.
As to the international market, it was relatively indifferent.
Because they were used to paying for the original app, and it was impossible to find the cracked version online, most users accepted the 2 USD monthly fee.
Just one membership program in the software brought in billions of revenue for Future Technology every month.
The terrifying ability to make money once again shocked the big shots on Wall Street. It also made the venture capitalists who didn't get a share of the profits beat their chests in regret … Although Jiang Chen never said he would bring in venture capitalists.
It was an honor for Jiang Chen to be the only man from Han to appear on the Wall Street Journal twice in half a year.
On the other hand, compared to Future 1.0's stunning performance, had a mediocre response, but it also achieved impressive results.
First, had more than 50 million players, and the number of online users was approaching the 10 million mark.
Auction, fashion, warehouse expansion, and a series of profit channels quickly converted the value of the IP into cash. The excellent gameplay made the user stickiness amazing. Now, if you were to take a random subway or walk around a university classroom, you could see 's intricate game graphics.
The game editing function provided by Yao Yao was extremely powerful. As long as there was creativity, it could be realized in the game. New Era's project team had expanded to 40 people, and 20 of them were responsible for the expansion of the game's content. Some were responsible for the art, designing the characters and fashion models; some were responsible for the script, writing the story, dungeon missions, etc.
Both the game's content and gameplay received a flood of positive reviews. After some hype, the international version was released as scheduled.
Based on Xia Shiyu's report, the number of international players exceeded 80 million, and it was steadily increasing.
Although the monthly revenue of 200 million was a bit lacking compared to Future 1.0, it was still way ahead of its peers.
It was a net revenue of 200 million, not a monthly revenue of 200 million!
Although a lot of mobile games had a monthly revenue of 100 million, due to research and development costs, bad debts, and many other factors, it would be profitable if 30% of the monthly revenue could be converted into actual revenue.
It was a miracle for a mobile game to have a monthly revenue of 200 million.
Due to the popularity of the game, a lot of large gaming guilds entered , and small gaming guilds were established like mushrooms after the rain. The popularity of the game naturally led to the development of related industries.
For example, game streaming, professional matches …
A lot of third party platforms came looking for them, hoping to cooperate with Future Technology on . In this regard, Future Technology also opened its doors and welcomed every potential partner with a welcoming attitude.
…
"Sohu hopes to cooperate with us on Future 1.0 and to form a new streaming platform with as the main game."
"What do you think of this proposal?" Jiang Chen leaned against the sofa as he said lazily.
"It's hard to recoup the cost in the short term, but it would help expand 's influence and increase user loyalty …"
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
As if she expected Jiang Chen to say this, Xia Shiyu facepalmed in the office.
"… Okay, also, Daimler Corporation's representative has arrived in Wanghai and hopes to discuss cooperation with us. Due to the special identity of the representative, out of etiquette, you have to personally negotiate. "
"Daimler Corporation?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he had never heard of the name before.
Xia Shiyu on the other side of the phone also paused.
"The Maybach S600 you drive, isn't it a product of Daimler Corporation?"
[What a joke!]
Jiang Chen awkwardly scratched his face. He didn't know much about cars.
"Ahem, who is it?" To cover up the awkwardness, he decided to change the topic.
"Carmen Rothschild."
