"Happy working with you."
"Happy working with you."
Seeing Chen Yu return to Shin Fung, the employees of the Gan City Telecommunications Bureau finally snapped back to reality.
"Xu Jia, you did well today."
"Uh, manager, I didn't expect such a big order to fall on my head."
"Haha, you're not the only one who didn't expect this. I'm also a little confused."
"The Internet is a magical product. It seems like we can't keep up with the times."
Everyone sighed from time to time.
Today was a day worth celebrating.
This was the largest order the Gan City Telecommunications Bureau's computer room had ever received since its establishment.
However, while the Gan City Telecommunications Bureau was celebrating, Chen Yu was having a headache.
"No wonder Penguin almost went bankrupt. Just the cost of renting the server was terrifying."
Moreover, with millions of QQ users online at the same time, the cost of renting the server was at least tens of millions a year.
This was just renting. If you wanted to buy it, well, you wouldn't be able to afford it for the time being.
This also made Chen Yu truly understand why the Internet was a bottomless pit.
Not to mention anything else, the average company would not be able to afford the cost of renting the server.
Therefore, when Chen Yu returned to Shin Fung, the first thing he did was to announce a price increase.
Yes.
That's right.
The cost burden was too high. The only way to maintain the company's normal operations was to increase the price.
"Boss Chen, a 50% increase in promotion fees?"
"Yes."
"Isn't this price increase too high? What if the other game companies resist?"
"I don't want to increase it either, but I'm afraid we won't be able to survive if we don't increase it."
This was something that couldn't be helped.
He remembered when Penguin was poor, they even charged two yuan to sign up for QQ.
Obviously, they didn't want to accept it.
If they did, they would definitely drive away their customers.
But if they didn't accept it, Penguin really wouldn't be able to survive.
After all, they didn't find many ways to make money at that time.
It was the cooperation with DreamNet and the QQ show that came out later that saved Penguin.
Otherwise, even if Penguin was a large company, it would have gone bankrupt in an instant.
This was not a joke.
Bracing himself, Chen Yu ordered Zhang Jianming and the major game manufacturers to send out emails with price increases.
However, unlike what he had expected, the major game manufacturers did not object too much.
"That's strange. The major gaming companies only complained about it and didn't object much."
"Oh, really? What did they say?"
"They said that we're too much of a scam, but they still continue to pay us."
"That's great!"
Chen Yu clenched his fists.
Fortunately, it seemed that the price increase did not drive away these customers.
However, this also made Chen Yu feel a little strange.
The reason why he raised the price by 50% was not because he wanted to increase it by so much all of a sudden.
He had also thought of bargaining with the game manufacturers and increasing the price by 20-30%.
However, from the looks of it, all the major game manufacturers seemed to have money. All they did was complain about it and there was nothing else they could do.
Were they really that rich?
That might not be the case.
Shengda and the others who had made a lot of money by relying on Legends were fine.
However, many game companies only had a few thousand people online at the same time. They really did not make much money.
Even if they did make money, they would not be so generous.
If that was the case, why were they still willing to continue to work with him at such a high price?
Chen Yu had no choice but to start looking for the reason himself.
After looking through it, Chen Yu smiled.
After three days, 5173 was no longer the original 5173.
It relied on thousands of guilds constantly sharing their big moves on various internet forums, websites, and QQ.
5173 had vaguely become the entrance of player traffic for the major game companies.
This was the same as WeChat, mobile browser, Alibaba … and so on in the future.
Mastering these would mean mastering the traffic.
Mastering the traffic would mean mastering the internet's ticket.
However, 5173 controlled the entrance of the game players.
However, it was this entrance that controlled the lifeline of the entire game industry.
When he realized this, Chen Yu was extremely excited.
He had some understanding of the feeling of those big bosses on the internet giving out orders.
Although he knew that 5173 was not big now and was far from being a match for these big bosses.
In the field of gaming, Chen Yu knew that he could already have a say in it.
[Here is the fastest industry information.]
[Here is the most authoritative industry strategy.]
[Here is the most professional marketing plan.]
[5,000 guilds, 20 million players, 5173, welcome to work with us.]
This was not for the players to see.
This was for the major game manufacturers.
"Brother Jian, add these few sentences in our cooperation letter."
"Boss Chen, isn't this too arrogant?"
"What's there to be arrogant about? We already have the capital to do so."
Before this, Chen Yu did not know that he had always thought that he was just a small website.
However, now that he had truly analyzed the strength of the website, Chen Yu finally understood the extent of his strength.
Since that was the case, then he would fight with the confidence of 5173 and fight with the glory of 5173.
"F * ck, the cooperation letter 5173 sent today is really amazing, isn't it?"
"It's not just amazing, it's a slap to Sohu's face."
"That's right. Sohu had just made a big move, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left. Now, it's great. 5173 is the only big company. "
"It's good for us to be the biggest company. The more players there are, the better the marketing effect. This is actually beneficial to us."
"It's beneficial to us, but I didn't expect a small gaming website to have so much power."
"That's right. Back then, we had been painstakingly making games and spent a lot of money and effort. Now that I think about it, we should have set up a gaming portal first. Now, we still have to work with them. "
"If you had known earlier, you would have become the richest man in the world."
"That's true."
The group of game manufacturers sighed.
Although they knew that some of them were bragging, it was impossible for all 20 million players to be on 5173. However, 5173 had gathered 5,000 guilds, and this alone had already affected the entire situation of the game. Therefore, when such a cooperation letter was sent out, the group of game manufacturers instantly became excited and stared closely at 5173. Even those who had previously raised the price of 5173 to scam them were silent now. Even those who had never thought of working with 5173 were now considering if they should work with 5173.
Among them, one person was attracted.
This person was called Zhu Jun.
The founder of the Ninth City.
He was also the game tycoon who represented World of Warcraft in the future and bought Shenhua Football Club.
However, the current Zhu Jun was not as powerful as he was in the future.
The current Zhu Jun was running a virtual community called Gamenow.
Gamenow was doing well and had 14 million registered players. However, not many of those who played the game made money. The four major portals had tight pockets, not to mention Gamenow, which had a more advanced concept.
Like the other big shots, Zhu Jun was also interested in online games.
Especially when he found out that Shengda Chen Tianqiao had made hundreds of millions with Legend of Mir. It was impossible for Zhu Jun not to be jealous.
Speaking of which, Zhu Jun and Chen Tianqiao were the same. They both started out with websites.
If Chen Tianqiao could make a fortune with Legend of Mir, why couldn't Zhu Jun do the same?
For this reason, Zhu Jun spent a lot of money to represent a game from Korea, Miracle.
However, Miracle had not been officially released yet. Zhu Jun wanted to do a closed beta test first.
