That afternoon, Wen Yanhong held a press conference and talked about the chess and card battle game that was about to be released on the app. It caused a lot of discussion among the reporters.
"CEO Wen, according to what you said, players can fight in the game and win their bets. Isn't this suspected of openly gambling?"
Wen Yanhong had already thought of this problem. She smiled and said, "Of course not. If players have the ability, it's not a problem to win a million dollars a day. But it's not okay to lose money. In the West, a player's account can only lose 50 dollars at most. You can't continue playing if you exceed this number. "
"CEO Wen, don't you think these games are too simple? Do you think they'll bring you profits? "
Wen Yanhong said, "Simple games might not be bad. As for profits, it's hard to say. "
"CEO Wen, the minimum bet is 10 dollars. Isn't that too little?"
Wen Yanhong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao said that small gambling is fun, but large gambling is bad for the body. We don't want this game to affect the players' lives. Of course, it's not just 10 dollars. Our game is divided into three levels. The lowest level is 10 dollars. If a player wins 10,000 dollars through the game, they can enter the second level with a minimum bet of 20 dollars. If they lose less than 5,000 dollars, they'll drop from the second level. If they win another 10,000 dollars, they'll enter the third level with 50 dollars. Similarly, if they lose 10,000 dollars, they'll drop to the second level. This way, we can control everyone's gambling habits. Of course, the limit of daily losses in the second and third levels will increase accordingly. "
"CEO Wen, you guys …"
Since it was just a small game, everyone didn't have many questions.
But no one thought that such a simple game would attract the attention of all the players in the West.
"Damn, you can win money in a game? That's great. "
"Tonight, I'll challenge first."
"I love playing poker the most. Dollars, here I come. "
At eight o 'clock in the United States, Storm Game Company's chess and card game was released in the West.
In just five minutes, the number of downloads exceeded ten million.
Especially Texas Hold 'em, which was deeply loved by the players in the West.
As for chess, it was a bit lousy.
In an ordinary house in Los Angeles, Paul was lying on the sofa playing games.
At eight o 'clock sharp, Paul reluctantly closed "Battle of the Kings" and downloaded Texas Hold' em.
After a simple look at the rules of the game, Paul already had a rough idea of what to do. He was having a great time playing.
At nine o 'clock, his parents came back. When they saw that Paul was still playing games, they were a little angry.
"Paul, you'd better put your phone away before I lose my temper," Paul's father said.
Paul waved his hand and said, "Dad, don't talk first. Wait for me to finish this round, then I'll tell you my results."
Paul's father was furious. He snatched the phone from Paul's hand and said angrily, "Go take a shower now and go to bed."
Paul said, "Dad, I beg you. Return my phone to me. I'm fighting with someone and I'm about to win. That's more than 20 dollars. "
Paul's father was stunned. His family was not very rich. When he heard that it was more than 20 dollars, he quickly returned the phone to Paul.
A minute later, Paul cheered and won.
"Now, you should have a good talk with us," Paul's mother said.
Paul said, "Storm Game Company developed a card game. It has my favorite Texas Hold 'em. I played for less than an hour. Do you know how much I won? Oh my god, I won a total of 260 dollars. "
Paul's parents were dumbfounded. They exclaimed in unison, "How is that possible?"
Paul said proudly, "How is that not possible? This is a battle game developed by Kungfu Xiao. It's similar to gambling, but the amount is pathetically small. An account can only lose 50 dollars at most. I'm in high spirits now. I'm prepared to win even more money. "
There were a lot of people like Paul.
Of course, there were even more losers, but no one cared. After all, it was only a few dozen dollars. It was within their acceptable range.
From eight o 'clock at night to twelve o' clock, the number of downloads of Texas Hold 'em had exceeded 100 million in four hours. The bets involved were in the tens of billions.
Yun Qing Network Company was able to collect a 1% commission for every round. After accounting, just the profits alone reached 300 million dollars.
Players on the Internet gave this game very high praise. It was even higher than Clash of the Kings.
"Haha, I won 230 dollars in one night. That's great."
"This is a game that can help me pay for my college fees. I must win more money."
"Even though I lost, I still give Storm Game Company's Texas Hold 'em a nine out of ten. It was really fun to play. "
"In the past, when I played games, I always had to charge money. Now I can actually get money. That's great. "
Early the next morning, a piece of news spread throughout Europe and America.
Someone played Texas Hold 'em in one night and won 3,000 dollars.
There were pictures and the truth. Even the player was found and interviewed by reporters.
"What? You said I was hired by Storm Game Company? Are you kidding me? I won with my own ability. Unfortunately, I'm the only one on the second level. I have no choice but to continue playing on the first level. "
"Sir, what do you think of this game?"
"I can only say it's so-so. The highest bet was only 10 dollars. That's really not good. Europe and America don't prohibit gambling. Why don't they be more open? "
The player who won 3,000 dollars looked like a hooligan. He even had braids at the back of his head, which gave people a weird feeling. His tone was even more arrogant and domineering.
But it was this person who made chess and card games that other companies looked down on popular all over Europe and America.
No one would have thought that a simple battle game could be so awesome.
On the second day after it was released, chess and card games were downloaded more than 300 million times. Just the net profit for Storm Game Company was more than 400 million dollars.
Including other games like Chinese Chess, Go, Poker, and Bridge, the net profit was more than 500 million dollars.
On the other hand, it took less than a month to develop the game, and the cost was almost zero.
Wen Yanhong was wearing an office lady's uniform and high heels. She held a report in her hand and walked into Xiao Yunhai's office.
"Mr. Xiao, the revenue from yesterday's poker game is out," Wen Yanhong said with a smile.
She was now full of admiration for Xiao Yunhai. A small game like Texas Hold 'em had become people's favorite game. It was much better than Battle of the Kings. It was unbelievable.
Xiao Yunhai glanced at her and said, "Your smile is prettier than a flower. The results must be good."
Wen Yanhong said, "It's so good that I can't believe it. Yesterday's net profit was 650 million dollars. It's the undisputed number one game in the world. The number two game is our Battle of the Kings. Our revenue was only slightly more than 300 million. It received a huge impact in Europe and America. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Oh right, how's the United Games app? They made quite a commotion just now. "
Wen Yanhong said, "They are indeed a very strong opponent. Their app was popular as soon as it was released. Now, the number of downloads has already exceeded 300 million. However, it might be due to the influence of Texas Hold 'em and Battle of the Kings. There aren't many players playing on it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "This is only temporary. The app made by the six major European game companies won't fail so easily. Director Wen, start promoting poker games to Hua Xia. Focus on Dou Dizhu. "
In Europe and America, Texas Hold 'em was the most popular poker game. In Hua Xia, Dou Dizhu was undoubtedly the king of poker games.
Wen Yanhong nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm going back to Hua Xia tonight. I'll leave the company's matters to you in the future. After the video is released online, I'll get Raúl to contact you and upload all of Marvel's films. "
Wen Yanhong said, "I'll work well with Mr. Raúl."
