"Boss Chen, Miracle will be in closed beta in three days. How many people do you think will be online at the same time?"
Online games liked to use the number of people online at the same time to measure the development of a product.
Actually, there was another number that many people paid attention to. This number was called the number of active users.
The number of active users included daily, monthly, and even annual activities.
However, it usually included daily and monthly activities.
But why didn't online games use daily and monthly activities?
Although there were people who paid attention to daily and monthly activities, the response was relatively slow.
Moreover, daily and monthly activities couldn't be used to calculate the profitability of online games.
Online games were different from other software. Online games were calculated based on time cards and monthly cards.
The number of people online at the same time could be multiplied by time cards or monthly cards to get an income number.
For example, if a game had 100,000 people online at the same time and spent 40 cents per hour, it would cost 9.6 yuan per day.
Then, the monthly income would be 100,000 multiplied by 9.6 and then 30.
Of course, there were some errors because sometimes the number of people online at the same time during prime time was different from the number of people online at night. However, this number was enough to calculate how much money a game could make.
However, there was a big difference between daily and monthly activities.
Sometimes, there were 1 million daily activities, but more than 90% of them might only be online for half an hour or ten minutes.
This wasn't good for observing the trend of the game and it was difficult to analyze the level of the game.
Miracle would be in closed beta in three days. Zhu Jun had some expectations and some worries, so he called Chen Yu.
"Oh, Miracle will be in closed beta in three days."
Chen Yu had been in class these days and didn't pay much attention to Miracle. After receiving Zhu Jun's call, Chen Yu finally reacted.
Zhu Jun was stunned. He wanted to vomit blood. "Boss Chen, can you be more professional?"
"Boss Zhu, why are you in such a hurry? I'm already very professional."
Chen Yu was very calm. "We have so many businesses in 5173. I can't watch Miracle every day. I've sent people to keep an eye on Miracle."
"Okay."
Zhu Jun was speechless, but he said again, "The contract says that we'll have 30,000 people online at the same time during closed beta."
"That's easy. Don't worry, we've already sent out 300,000 activation codes."
"I know, but 300,000 activation codes might not be enough to exchange for 30,000 people online at the same time."
"Who says it's not possible? Who knows, we might be able to get 150,000 players online at the same time."
"Don't scare me."
"Why would I scare you? You owe me seven million. I'm more anxious than you are. By the way, how many servers have you made? "
"Top quality, 10 sets."
"What a scam. Ten sets can still be considered top-notch."
Chen Yu complained.
One set of servers could only maintain a maximum of 4000-5000 people online at the same time. The worse servers could only maintain around 2000 people. Any more and it would be very laggy. Ten sets of servers would be around 40-50,000 people.
Of course, a normal closed beta of online games would have enough servers, but this was a miracle.
Not only was it a miracle, but it was a miracle promoted by Chen Yu.
"Add another ten sets."
"Ten more sets?"
"Yes."
"There's no need for so much."
"You'll know when the time comes. Let me remind you first, in case your server crashes and a bunch of players curse you to death. You'll blame me for not telling you."
"Well, let me think about it …"
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jun had mixed feelings.
He was happy that the CEO of 5173, Chen Yu, was optimistic about the miracle.
But he was worried about whether he should add more servers.
It was not that Zhu Jun was reluctant or felt that it was a waste.
He had always been a very rich person. It was just that he had no choice when he ran out of money.
Zhu Jun had spent more than 10 million to represent Miracle Mu.
Zhu Jun had paid another three million for the promotion.
This was only 5173. Zhu Jun could not possibly give all the promotion to 5173.
In other places, Zhu Jun had also spent a few million on advertising.
There was also the broadband fee. If he really ran out of money, he would pay it monthly.
As for the servers, they were also rented.
Ten sets of servers cost Zhu Jun more than one million. Well, this was for a month, not a year.
If he were to rent another ten sets, he would have to spend more than one million.
As for why the rent was more expensive than 5173, it was very simple. One was the website, and the other was online games.
Online games took up much more server resources than websites, and renting servers was also much more expensive.
After thinking carefully for a while, Zhu Jun still decided to listen to Chen Yu.
No matter what, Chen Yu had the first-hand promotion information.
Chen Yu knew better than him how Miracle would perform.
Moreover, Zhu Jun was also provoked by Chen Yu's words.
If the resources of 20 sets of servers were fully occupied during the closed beta, they would really create a miracle.
By then, everyone would be debating whether a miracle was more powerful or a Legend was more powerful.
"Tell Telecom that we will rent another ten sets of servers."
"CEO Zhu, rent another ten sets of servers?"
"Yes."
"But …"
"But what? We don't have much money left."
"What are you afraid of? Chen Tianqiao can rent servers from Telecom without a single cent. We even paid a portion of the money. Tell them that we owe them two months first. We will pay them after two months. "
"Okay, I will try."
The assistant nodded quickly and rushed to Telecom immediately.
…
"Well, student Lu, I wrote a software. I haven't named it yet. What name do you think it should be?"
After returning home from school, Chen Yu asked Lu Xue who was behind him.
"You can write software?"
Lu Xue was a little surprised.
"Of course, I said I am a genius."
"Tch …"
Lu Xue curled her lips, but still said: "What software? Is it fun? If it is, I will play it too."
"This software hasn't been released yet, but it is almost there. It is similar to QQ."
"Oh, QQ."
Lu Xue didn't understand other software, but Lu Xue still knew a little about QQ: "Others call it QQ. Why don't you call it FF?"
"What is FF?"
"Feifei."
"Feifei … What a name. Although FF and Feifei are similar, it is a bit tongue-twisting. It is not as good as QQ."
"Then let's call it KK."
"Why does it feel weird?"
"How about CC?"
"Well, you don't have to name it."
The little girl's naming skills were too bad.
"Well, it seems like you are good at naming."
"I already have several alternative names."
"Let's hear it."
"DD, how about it?"
"Younger brother?"
"Uh … Not younger brother."
"It sounds like a younger brother, or a younger brother."
Chen Yu cried. It seemed that DD really couldn't make it, so he said: "How about PP?"
"PP?"
"F * ck …"
"How about MM?"
"You big pervert …"
Chen Yu fainted.
It seemed that naming was really difficult.
"Let me name it for you. Let's call it YY."
“YY？”
Chen Yu asked: "Why did you think of this name?"
Chen Yu had known this name for a long time.
In his previous life, there was a software called YY, but he didn't expect Lu Xue to also say YY.
"It's very simple. Aren't you called Chen Yu, and your QQ name is Yi Yi Yi … The first letter of Yu is Y, and the first letter of Yi Yi Yi is also Y, so why don't you name it YY?"
"Okay, let's call it YY."
