"A game that's only for making money?"
Zou Tao was stunned.
"Is there a problem?"
"Boss Chen, I don't understand."
Were they developing online games to make money?
This was indeed the case for many commercial companies.
Were they trying to sell their emotions if they didn't make money?
Although they were trying to make money, they still had to make the game to the extreme.
For example, they had to develop various gameplay.
However, when Chen Yu said that he only wanted to earn money, if Zou Tao understood him correctly, then everything he said was based on money. Although it was not impossible, if it was just for the sake of money, there would not be many people who would play the game.
"That's easy to understand. All of our gameplay and functions are for making money."
"This, this … the game created this way would be very lousy …"
"That's not necessarily true."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Let me ask you, what kind of game is a good game?"
"Exquisite graphics, diverse gameplay, and stable internet."
"No, none of these. At the end of the day, what kind of game is a good game? A game with many people is a good game. "
Thinking back to Huanyu Technologies's first game, Legend of Mir.
It was basically a hot-blooded Legend of Mir. It only changed the skin and nothing else.
Even so, Legend of Mir was still very popular.
Was it because of its diverse gameplay?
Was it because of its innovative gameplay?
Was it because of its balanced internet?
None of these.
The reason why everyone liked to play it was because there were many people playing it.
As long as there were many people, any game would be fun.
Just like YY games.
Some of the games that no one was interested in at first, because of the sudden increase in people, became incomparably fun.
"Boss Chen, you're making me confused."
Zou Tao's brain short-circuited.
Chen Yu understood.
It was indeed difficult to fully understand this train of thought.
However, Chen Yu continued to brainwash Zou Tao.
"To put it simply, our main purpose for developing this game is to make money. At the same time, our main direction is also to make money. Of course, some gameplay can still be developed, but it's all about making money. "
"Boss Chen, you're saying that we're developing a free-to-play game?"
Zou Tao finally understood.
Boss Chen might want to develop a free-to-play game.
In the industry, free-to-play games were recognized as games that only made money.
At that time, Zou Tao had also thought of developing a free-to-play game.
However, it was not impossible to develop a free-to-play game, but there was a bigger problem with free-to-play games.
One was the problem of free-to-play games not making as much money as fee-paying games.
Another problem was that free-to-play games would destroy the balance of the game.
This was because the main source of income for free-to-play games came from props. If they wanted to become stronger, they had to top up money.
If you don't charge money, it's hard to beat someone who has.
It was also because free-to-play games would destroy the game's balance that Zou Tao did not enter.
Moreover, there was another reason. There were no popular free-to-play games at the moment.
Of course, free games like Bubble Hall were an exception.
"Yes, I want to develop a free-to-play game."
"But Boss Chen, RMB players in a free-to-play game will destroy the balance of the game."
"Don't tell me that RMB players won't destroy the balance of the game?"
"It's better than a free-to-play game."
"That's the theory, but why don't we change the concept?"
Chen Yu continued, "Zou Tao, how do free-to-play games make money?"
"By selling props to make money."
"Then who buys props?"
"RMB players who charge money, of course."
"Then we'll only serve RMB players."
Chen Yu's words gave Zou Tao a fright.
"Boss Chen, don't you care about normal players who don't pay money to play games?"
"It's not that we don't care. The main thing is that we have to focus on RMB players. We have to figure out the direction. Those RMB players are our source of income. I think there are many free-to-play games that are not doing well. It's not that they're not doing well, it's because they want to please both RMB players and free-to-play players. In the end, neither side will be satisfied. Rather than that, it's better to please RMB players. "
"Then won't it be RMB versus RMB in the end?"
"If that's the case, then that's the best."
Chen Yu nodded.
In fact, online games were a competition of money.
If you wanted good equipment, high levels, and various props, you had to spend money.
If you wanted to be awesome without spending money, this kind of thing could only happen in games.
Even if it was in games, it was impossible.
"Boss Chen, Boss Chen … I'm afraid this model won't work."
Zou Tao was stunned by Chen Yu's words.
Wasn't this train of thought too strange?
Why would Boss Chen have such an idea?
Could a game really be made like this?
"I think it's possible."
"But the problem is that if there are no normal players, then RMB players won't feel good."
"That's true."
Chen Yu nodded. "However, I didn't say that we'll completely give up on normal players."
"But if we only take care of RMB players, then normal players won't have much of a gaming experience. It'll be difficult to attract them to play the game."
"It's fine if they don't come to play. We can just spend money to invite them to play."
"Huh?"
"We'll spend money to invite them to play?"
"Can't we?"
"Of course we can, but …"
"Don't say 'but'. Zou Tao, think about it carefully. I have to go to Zhu City."
He didn't say anything else.
Chen Yu decided to give Zou Tao some time to think.
It wouldn't be too late to develop the game after he thought it through.
After all, he was going to make a free-to-play game. As long as he had a clear idea, with Huanyu Technologies' research and development capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to develop another game.
…
Zhu City.
Gree Electrical Appliances.
"Is everything ready?"
"Boss Dong, everything is ready."
"Okay."
"Boss Dong, can I ask which big shot is coming later?"
"It's not a big shot, but this person will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
Dong Minzhu, the chairman and CEO of Gree Electrical Appliances, said very seriously.
In fact, Dong Minzhu already thought that this person was definitely a genius the last time they met.
Unexpectedly, after a period of time, especially the recent e-commerce promotion activities, Dong Minzhu felt more and more that this person was not an ordinary genius.
Half an hour later, the big shot that Gree Electrical Appliances was waiting for finally arrived.
"Damn …"
Just as he got out of the car.
Chen Yu was almost shocked when he saw a few hundred people from Gree Electrical Appliances coming to greet him.
That's right.
Chen Yu came to Zhu City to visit Miss Dong and Dong Minzhu.
However, Miss Dong attached great importance to Chen Yu's arrival. Not only did she come to greet him personally, but she also pulled all the company's executives over.
See, there were a few hundred people here all of a sudden.
"Boss Dong, I'm flattered by your lineup. I can't hold it in."
"Boss Chen, you're too polite. In the future, Gree will need your company to take care of us."
"Boss Dong, you're too humble. This time, I'm here to ask for your advice."
"Advice? What are you talking about, Boss Chen? I haven't returned the favor to Boss Chen from last time … Look, you're just talking. Let's go, Boss Chen. It's rare for you to come here. Let me show you around Gree."
After some pleasantries, Dong Minzhu brought Chen Yu to the various departments of Gree Electrical Appliances.
