Of course, the branding of YY games could not be completed overnight.
At this time, Chen Yu paid the most attention to Haofang.
Under the cooperation with Huanyu Technologies, the operation of Haofang's battle platform was raised to a new level.
For example, Haofang originally planned a few activities, which was the National Competition.
This competition was divided into the preliminary round and the final round.
The winner of the preliminary round would be rewarded 1,000 yuan, while the winner of the final round would be rewarded 10,000 yuan.
Chen Yu directly said that they were too stingy about this activity.
What could 10,000 yuan do? Then, he changed the highest reward from 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan.
Moreover, as long as they were able to participate in the final round, each team would be rewarded 10,000 yuan.
This 10 times increase in monetary rewards instantly stimulated countless players.
Originally, everyone only thought of this as a game that they played on a regular basis.
However, under the stimulation of 100,000 yuan, the players seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.
For a time, many players practiced their marksmanship and tactics in Internet cafes all night …
Of course, if Chen Yu were to do this, he would probably throw in one million yuan.
What was 100,000 yuan? One million yuan was the real deal.
However, in the era of 2002, even 100,000 yuan would cause a frenzy in the entire competitive gaming industry.
"100,000 yuan, the champion will get 100,000 yuan. F * ck, I'm going all out."
"Even if we can't get the 100,000 yuan for the championship, we'll still get 10,000 yuan for the final round. Brothers, let's form a team."
"Form a team?"
"Yes, look at the competitive games now. Most of them are teams by teams. If we form a team, we'll have an advantage over them in the future, whether it's in games or competitions. Who knows, we might even be able to get a ranking. "
"That's a good idea."
"It's not just a good idea. Think about it, if we form a team in the future, it'll be very cool."
"Okay, then let's form a team."
Some of these teams were just casually talking about it, while others were just a temporary uprising.
However, who knew how many professional teams would be born in the future because of this.
At the same time, YY games' powerful operations and marketing ability were also involved in this series of activities.
Half a month after Haofang came online, there was a blowout.
"180,000."
"200,000."
"230,000."
"260,000."
Yes.
That's right, this was Haofang's simultaneous online.
Haofang's original 50,000 concurrent users had skyrocketed to 260,000 in half a month's time.
"Five times. In half a month's time, increase five times while being online."
"260,000, no, it's 270,000 now."
"Looking at this trend, it's possible to reach 300,000 people online at the same time."
Haokai was different from other small games.
Although some other small games were also very popular, and some had hundreds of thousands of players online.
However, the profitability of these small games was not very high.
Even if it was just you draw and I guess, to be honest, the level of profit was just average.
However, this was generally a relative term. Many individuals and small game companies were already very satisfied to be able to earn so much just by creating a small game.
However, for a large-scale game, having more than 200,000 players online at the same time was a terrifying number.
Take Journey to the West for example. Previously, there were only a few hundred thousand players online at the same time. Their annual profit had reached 100 million.
Although Journey to the West charged a fee, Haofang was free.
However, Haofang's membership was free of charge. However, the membership fees derived from Haofang were extremely terrifying.
Especially for large-scale competitive games like this, Haofang came up with a membership acceleration function.
This function meant that once you opened up a membership, your operation speed would be faster and smoother than other players.
This was similar to the acceleration software of League of Legends in his previous life. However, there were fewer people in his previous life who used it.
Because at that time, everyone's internet speed was very good, and there was not much difference whether they used it or not.
However, in 2002, when playing large-scale games like this, especially large-scale battle games, sometimes a second of lag on the screen could determine the winner.
Therefore, after Haofang introduced the membership acceleration function package, it gained the approval of many players and they all became members one after another.
According to statistics, the income from purchasing memberships alone had reached more than 10 million.
This was only one month.
If they continued to operate, it was not impossible to earn 100 million in a year.
"I suddenly feel that Haofang joining YY's camp was the wisest strategy."
"Alright, I admit that Huanyu Technologies is a golden thigh. If you want to earn money, hurry up and grab onto this golden thigh."
"Isn't it too late to go now? I'm afraid that Huanyu Technologies won't accept it."
"Yes, since Huanyu Technologies has opened up its platform, it should be open to everyone. However, since it's open to everyone, the competition is incomparably fierce. If you don't have the ability, you won't even be able to make a splash among the hundreds and thousands of YY games … Of course, this is also relative. Once it becomes a hit, think about it yourself. "
This was the way the world was.
When Huanyu Technologies proposed the opening strategy, there were people who were observing.
When YY games had already opened up their platform, there were still people who felt that joining YY was a restriction.
However, the explosive growth of Haofang's platform had completely awakened those onlookers.
…
"Boss Chen, the winger just contacted us."
"Oh, the winger wants to join our YY?"
"That's the idea, but they want to be able to develop independently after joining."
"That's a good idea."
Chen Yu smiled.
'I give you traffic, I give you a platform, I give you all the resources.
You, on the other hand, want to develop independently after taking advantage of me?
'If it's really so good, why would I make a platform? Why don't I do it myself?'
"Reply to them. Either follow our contract, or let them operate well on their own."
YY games was not a hardware platform. It was a software platform.
He could not make money by selling hardware. He could only work hard to build his own platform.
Since it was a software platform, YY games also had restrictions for other software manufacturers.
Those who joined YY games could not release products on other platforms. At the same time, they could not operate independently.
This was like writing. After posting on Qidian, you could not post to other platforms.
If you posted on Qidian and wanted to post to other platforms, and then wanted to do it yourself, you would think that other people were stupid.
"Boss Chen, I've already rejected them."
Li Nan said.
"Hehe, well done."
Chen Yu smiled.
It seemed that Li Nan understood his thoughts quite accurately.
For those who wanted to take advantage of him like this, go away.
Although Huanyu Technologies was an open platform, Huanyu Technologies was not a charity.
"Boss Chen, there's one more thing. After Haofang became popular, businesses have contacted Haofang to ask for the title sponsorship of the finals. Haofang's intention is that they can't negotiate on this. They don't know how much the title sponsorship is, and they want us to help them negotiate this cooperation. "
"Oh, these businesses are so sharp. They even thought of the title sponsorship?"
Chen Yu expressed that there was no problem.
Everyone's interests were tied together. Huanyu Technologies had no problem helping this small favor.
"Although eSports is a niche market, it's very technical. A few teams have also attracted the attention of some investors who want to nurture them into professional teams. "
"That's a good thing."
Chen Yu was very pleased.
ESports was a big industry. It was naturally good to have businesses paying attention.
Of course, Chen Yu had the idea of making Haofang bigger because of his previous activities.
For example, Chen Yu's idea of the finals was to directly get the TV station to broadcast it.
However, the TV station hesitated and it did not happen in the end.
"If there's a chance in the future, we can make eSports bigger."
"Make it into an international eSports competition?"
"Something like that."
Chen Yu nodded. "However, the international eSports competition is organized by the Koreans. I don't approve of it. If we want to do it, I want to create an international eSports competition created by our countrymen. "
However, the time was not right yet. There was no competitive soil at this time.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was no game of his own.
Chen Yu could not possibly organize a competition and only play games created by other game companies.
No matter what, there had to be at least one product from his own game company.
"Oh, right, why don't I create a competitive game first?"
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu was a little tempted.
Then, Chen Yu called Zou Tao over.
