On the second day of Miracle's closed beta, Zhu Jun gave Chen Yu a call as soon as he arrived at the company.
"Boss Chen, thank you, thank you so much."
"Ah, what are you thanking me for? I don't think I did anything."
"Boss Chen, you're too humble. If you didn't help us promote Miracle, it wouldn't be so popular. If you didn't give us the idea last night, we would've crashed yesterday. "
"That's all you're talking about."
Chen Yu smiled and replied, "You don't have to thank me for helping you promote it. We're working together. We help you promote it and you give me the money. It's a fair deal. As for the idea last night, don't say it was my idea in the future. "
"Why?"
"I'm afraid of being scolded."
"Scolded? Very few, right? I've seen the comments on the netizens. Everyone says they understand. "
"Understand what? This is just the beginning. If there's a lot of queues like this in the future, see if people will scold you."
Chen Yu was deeply affected by queues.
When he played League of Legends in his previous life, he had to queue for half an hour every time.
Waiting for half an hour to play a game was simply too much of a scam.
However, Chen Yu could understand why some game manufacturers set up queues.
The reason was simple. It wasn't that most game manufacturers couldn't handle the servers, but that they would encounter peak traffic.
Usually, these servers would be enough. However, when it came to weekends or special holidays, the servers prepared would be insufficient. Of course, game manufacturers could prepare more servers. However, servers cost money. Normally, 20 servers would be enough. During holidays, 40 servers would be needed. However, once the holidays were over, the remaining 20 servers would be idle.
This would waste resources. Therefore, some manufacturers wouldn't buy so many servers at once.
However, even though Chen Yu understood, he would still complain about what he should.
He wasn't a game manufacturer. He didn't care what the game manufacturer did.
If the user experience wasn't good enough, it was good enough to scold you. If he wasn't careful, everyone would run away.
"No matter what, I'm still very grateful to Boss Chen."
"There's no use thanking me. Where's my 7 million?"
"Boss Chen, why are you talking about money again? We're so broke now. You don't know that we owe the telecom company for the server we rented."
"Director Zhu, you're amazing. You've learned how to gain something without risking anything. "Look, we helped you promote your products, but you still owe us 7 million yuan. You ran to Telecom because you didn't have enough servers, and now you owe us a few million yuan. If you run away with the money, who am I going to look for? "
"Boss Chen, don't tease me. I had no choice."
"Alright, I'll give you the 7 million after the open beta. However, Director Zhu, I have a suggestion. "
"Boss Chen, what is it?"
Regarding Chen Yu, Zhu Jun still thought highly of him.
It could almost be said that the explosion of this miracle was all thanks to Chen Yu.
"Last night, Miracle breaking 100,000 in the closed beta test doesn't represent his real results. Many players were waiting for the server to open on the first day of the closed beta because they were too excited. This was similar to shopping during the holidays. Once the holidays were over, the peak traffic would drop. I can't do anything about whether it can attract more players in the future. "
"Boss Chen, you're right. I understand that. As for the future operations, I still have some skills. "
"Alright then, I hope that Director Zhu's Miracle will become popular and surpass the legend."
"Thank you, thank you. Boss Chen, you too."
After hanging up the call with Zhu Jun, Chen Yu once again sighed with emotion about the benefits of making games.
Look, there were already 100,000 players online during the closed beta. As long as the open beta was not too crazy, there would definitely be more people playing.
With more than 100,000 players online at the same time, there would be a few hundred million in a year.
However, Chen Yu was not jealous of miracles.
It wasn't as if the 5173 he created didn't have any benefits.
The most direct benefit was that 5173's position as a gaming portal had become more stable.
In the eyes of normal players, this was not obvious. However, in the eyes of game developers, it was completely different.
Previously, some game developers did not think that 5173 was very useful. Some felt that they did not want to waste money to cooperate with 5173. However, after Miracle's promotion, almost everyone wanted to make online games. If they wanted to make a living in this industry, 5173 was a hurdle that they could not avoid. In fact, if your game did not shine on 5173, the players would think that you were not very capable.
If you did not even have the money to advertise on 5173, how could you make a game?
It was also because of this situation that after Miracle's closed beta number was announced, more than 100 game developers sent over invitations to cooperate with them.
This was only in the industry.
Those who were not in the industry or had some connections also increased their cooperation with 5173.
For example, those who sold computer peripheral products.
Previously, they were only trying to sell their products on 5173. They did not expect to taste the benefits.
At this time, seeing 5173's terrifying promotion ability and its appeal to guilds, some IT manufacturers who were originally stationed on major e-commerce platforms also entered 5173's platform.
Headphones, keyboards, mice … these were nothing.
At this time, even cell phones, VCD players, repeaters, cameras, game consoles, watches … these electronic products were also added.
Not only these, but there were also home appliances on the platform. Although there were not many varieties and because of logistics, the range of sales was limited. However, this kind of change was something that Chen Yu had not expected.
Therefore, Chen Yu had no choice but to let Li Nan increase the variety of products on the e-commerce platform.
However, this was not a big deal.
When 5173 received all kinds of business, it finally attracted the attention of the domestic IT giants.
Lenovo, Tsinghua, Tongfang, Asus, Shenzhou …
They were all computer companies.
Although these companies were not much in the mobile Internet era of the future.
However, in the personal PC era, these computer companies were definitely considered the giants in the domestic IT industry.
These IT giants had their eyes on 5173's potential consumer base and sent over letters of intent to cooperate with 5173.
Lenovo, in particular, was rich and imposing. They directly took out 10 million yuan in advertising fees in their letters of intent.
Of course, the cooperation was not just 10 million yuan. Lenovo also expressed that they would spend a lot of money to cooperate with and support other promotional activities.
However, although Lenovo was rich and imposing, they were concerned about the exclusivity clause in their letters of intent.
This was the same exclusivity clause that 5173 came up with with the various major game manufacturers for the activation code.
However, at that time, the activation code was created by 5173, and it was also created by 5173 itself. Naturally, Chen Yu did not care about it.
However, now that he had to accept Lenovo's exclusivity clause, Chen Yu was not willing to consider it.
There were so many domestic computer brands, and Lenovo was not the only one.
Only binding to Lenovo was not beneficial to 5173's growth.
Excluding Lenovo, Chen Yu did not consider Tsinghua Tongfang either.
Tsinghua Tongfang was quite powerful now, and it was controlled by Tsinghua University.
However, Tsinghua Tongfang gradually went downhill in the future, and its market share was almost negligible.
As for Asus, it was actually quite impressive.
However, Chen Yu did not consider the brands in Tai City for the time being.
