Pei Qian took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
Something wasn't right.
Calm down, he had to calm down!
Now, Pei Qian finally understood what the three of them were thinking.
Huang Sibo stared at the computer screen and refreshed it over and over again in a daze. That was because the statistics of the game had far exceeded the best case scenario he had expected and he found it unbelievable!
Xiao Lu was fidgeting and it was obvious that he was excited!
As for Bao Xu, he was indeed thinking about life. However, the reason he was thinking about life was completely different from what Pei Qian had expected …
"Boss Pei, champagne!"
Xin Hailu smiled and handed him a bottle of champagne.
Pei Qian glanced at it – it was a bottle of champagne with a unique design. The cover was made of platinum and it was filled with English words. A conservative estimate would be that it was worth at least five digits.
However, Pei Qian was in no mood at all.
That was because he knew that the amount of money that Ocean Stronghold had earned him would not be enough even if he had a few hundred bottles of this champagne!
However, Pei Qian could not possibly leave in a huff under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He could not allow anyone to doubt the existence of the system or the challenge itself!
Pei Qian took a deep breath and took the bottle of champagne, popping it open.
The faint golden liquid gushed out along with the unique fragrance of the wine. Instantly, the atmosphere in the office exploded!
Everyone started cheering and the two girls at the front desk took out the hand-held fireworks and fireworks that they had prepared beforehand. The office was filled with golden rain!
Everyone started singing and dancing. Xiao Lu was so excited that she almost fell to her knees when Huang Sibo held her back.
Under such a passionate atmosphere, Pei Qian tried his best to squeeze out a smile. "Well done, everyone. Continue to work hard."
Pei Qian maintained his smile as he walked into his office and closed the door.
Looking at Pei Qian's back view, Huang Sibo could not help but feel emotional.
"Indeed, everything was going according to Boss Pei's plan!"
"He had expected all of this to happen. That's why he wasn't excited at all. To Boss Pei, this is just a normal thing!"
"Sigh, compared to Boss Pei, we are just like a bunch of kids who have never seen the world. We are so happy with just a little bit of success …"
"When can I have the same mentality as Boss Pei …"
As Huang Sibo lamented, he refreshed the platform again.
Ocean Stronghold was on fire!
Of course, Huang Sibo felt that since this was a game that Boss Pei had pointed out the direction for, it was normal and reasonable for it to become popular. There was nothing to be surprised about.
After analyzing Boss Pei's design intentions, Huang Sibo and Bao Xu had a feeling that the game was most likely going to succeed!
However, he did not expect it to be so popular that even Sun Strike Studios' Bullet Hole was defeated!
What Huang Sibo did not expect was that Boss Pei was up to something new this time round!
Boss Pei had already demonstrated how to achieve the best marketing effect with the least amount of effort.
At that time, Boss Pei pioneered publicity in the artists' circle and successfully spread it to the general player community!
This time, Huang Sibo was also hoping that Boss Pei could find another unique path and use a similar method to achieve publicity effects.
He even thought of a few less expensive ways to advertise.
But now, it seemed that his imagination was all wrong.
Boss Pei did not intend to advertise at all! That was because Boss Pei knew very well that the game could become popular even without any publicity. Just the word-of-mouth from the players and the official recommendation system would be enough!
How domineering and confident was that!
How much accurate judgment of the market was required to achieve such confidence?!
Even when Boss Pei opened the champagne, he maintained a calm and confident expression. It was as if he had just completed a trivial task.
Huang Sibo was completely convinced!
…
…
Pei Qian was in his own office.
He sat on his chair and did not recover for a long time.
What was going on? Did I get the wrong script …?
Why?!
Why did the game become popular even though I did not do any publicity?
Was there still any law?
Was there still any law?
This did not make sense at all!
This time, Ruan Guangjian did not take the initiative to promote the game. What was the problem then?!
Pei Qian tried his best to calm himself down. He switched on his computer and tried to figure out what had happened.
If he did not get to the bottom of this, he would not be able to rest in peace!
Only after logging into the official games platform did Pei Qian see the accurate figures for Ocean Stronghold.
He could not help but shudder.
In a week, the number of players online at the same time had reached a hundred thousand!
Furthermore, this was probably not the maximum figure.
The number of players online at the same time was not because there were only a hundred thousand players, but because the bandwidth of the cloud server that Ocean Stronghold rented could only accommodate a hundred thousand players. There were still many players queuing outside …
Logically speaking, the server cost of an online game's operations was not considered a huge expense unless it could reach the horrifying scale of World of Warcraft or League of Legends.
For normal mobile games, if a server had around 3,000 active players, renting a cloud server would only cost a few hundred yuan. The expensive part was mainly in terms of bandwidth. At the same time, the more people online, the higher the bandwidth requirement, and the more ridiculous the cost would be.
For a low-tier mobile card game like Ghost General, server fees weren't much of an expense.
Ocean Stronghold was the same. As a PvP FPS game, many people were playing the single-player mode, and everything was calculated locally. The PvP mode was also split into rooms, and there wouldn't be a situation where hundreds of players were fighting at the same time.
After the rooms were split into rooms, the bandwidth pressure on the server was much less compared to MMORPG games where many players shared the same screen.
What's more, Pei Qian had predicted that Ocean Stronghold would fail so he did not prepare too much bandwidth for Ocean Stronghold!
However, after a few days, Ocean Stronghold's number of active players had increased from a few hundred to a hundred thousand players online at the same time. Many players were also queuing up!
As of now, more than a thousand Red Kilins had been sold and they had earned more than four hundred thousand yuan!
Pei Qian slumped onto his chair.
It was not difficult to spend four hundred thousand yuan.
The problem was, based on Ghost General's experience, this was just the beginning!
As Ocean Stronghold continued to grow in popularity, the next week's income would definitely be more than four hundred thousand yuan. With the increase in the number of players, the Red Kilins would definitely be sold even more. Based on this, the first month's income would be at least three million yuan!
And this was the effect even after the discount.
Because of Pei Qian's pricing strategy, Ocean Stronghold was basically a free game. Apart from the Red Kilins, there was nothing else for sale in the game!
In other words, only a small number of ballers would buy the Red Kilins. However, ordinary players had no way to spend their money!
If Pei Qian had learned from other games with paywalls and created more gift packs and promotions, this income would probably have been two or three times higher.
Even though he had purposely used the pricing strategy to stop players from reaching into their wallets, he still earned more than four hundred thousand yuan in a week!
What the f * ck was going on?
