Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 619 Players' understanding of "Black Soul"; opponents' mentality exploded

11 month 12 day.

【Thunder II】officially released.

It is sold in brand stores in large and small cities across the country.

Since the [Thunder Games] brand store has been fully laid out, there is no need to resort to the channels of brother companies, and it seems to be quite high-grade.

Consumers are scrambling to buy, and the media are also reporting the matter, and the whole country is full of excitement.

For consumers who love to play, today is as festive as the Chinese New Year.

Having learned from the previous sold-out products, this time the [Thunder 2] National Bank has 500 million mainframes in stock. There is no need to worry about scalpers profiting from it, and consumers can basically buy it easily.

"Very popular, that's all."

Tian Moyun was walking on the street and saw a long queue at the entrance of the brand store. There were many security guards maintaining order, and two policemen were watching to avoid conflicts. After all, there were a lot of people, so be careful.

In a daze, he kind of saw the first scene of the iPhone in his previous life. It was so popular that he had to queue up the night before.

[Thunder 2] is not yet so exaggerated. Of course, this is also related to their sufficient stocking.

But no matter what, [Thunder Game Console] has successfully entered thousands of households in the Great Xia Kingdom, occupying many living rooms.

……

Domestic sales are very lively.

On the international side... I heard a lot of jokes.

Among them is the matter of [Super Hard Moro Game Company].

It is said that a certain executive spent millions of dollars to "praise" "Final Fantasy", but accidentally shot himself in the foot, which is very interesting.

As for the calculation and obstruction of these foreign competitors?

These messy things will not play a big role. They did not stop them with the mentality of watching the fun before, but now it is not so easy to stop them.

"As soon as [Thunder 2] was released, the market value of those foreign game companies all plummeted. Back then [Dragon Scale 3] didn't have this kind of treatment."

Li Tenglong sighed.

As the saying goes: the shadow of a person's famous tree.

【Thunder Group】There is almost no opponent that can't be defeated. As soon as it made a move, those investors and institutions directly chose to surrender.

"I don't understand the stock market. I heard that the stock price is just a concept, not real."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "Their current stock price has fallen only because [Thunder 2] has posed a threat to their future. If they can prove their strength again, then the stock price should still rise, or even surpass the present."

"It's a good idea, but how can it be so easy?"

Li Tenglong smiled: "Unless the overall size of the market expands, or they defeat [Thunder Game Company], re-establish their dominance, and let the stock market see a higher value, otherwise, they will never even think about it in this life."

"The future is infinite."

Tian Moyun didn't say anything more.

The future is changing rapidly, and who knows what will happen next.

……

On Weibo, Tieba and other places, many netizens are posting about the game console they just got.

Success aroused the envy of a large crowd.

Anyway, it is 2999 oceans. If three or four games are added, it will exceed 4000 oceans. This is not a small amount, and not everyone is willing to take it out.

"I just got it and waited in line for half an hour. I forgot to wear long johns when I went out and almost froze to death."

"Is it okay if you forget to wear long johns?"

"Compared with the first generation, the progress of the second generation... feels like it has spanned two centuries."

"I was used to the quality performance of the first generation before, but now I look at the second generation...how can I describe it, it's like a small stream and a vast ocean."

"Just experienced "Havoc in Heaven", the picture quality is absolutely amazing, it's like a remake."

"I saved 4000 yuan in two years, and I spent it all today. While feeling distressed, I feel it's worth it."

"Have you played "Final Fantasy" yet? My wife looks much better than the promotional video. Really, it's not my eyes that come with filters."

"A big V blogger has already mentioned this matter. The promotional video was produced by a third-party company, and the quality is slightly worse than the original version."

"I haven't played "Final Fantasy", but I have experienced "Dark Soul". I sincerely recommend that you give it a try. The feel of mowing grass...is amazing."

"Mowing the grass? Isn't it similar to "Havoc in Heaven"? It should be a high-difficulty action game."

"I won't lie to you, it's really a lawn mowing game. If you don't believe me, buy it and try it out."

Netizens first posted photos to show off their newly bought game consoles, and chatting, the topic gradually turned to the first escort masterpiece.

For example: My wife is so beautiful!Mowing is so cool!

Gradually, the topic came to "Dark Soul".

One of the highly praised microblogs said:

"As for the game "Dark Soul", those who have played it will naturally understand it. Friends who have not played it sincerely recommend buying it and playing it. Don't brag about it. This lawn mowing game is really delicious, don't worry about mobs It's still a boss, just hack it to death with a few knives... It seems to be a little bit difficult, but it's actually a lot of fun, whoever plays will know, come if you don't believe me!"

And under this Weibo, there are also many netizens who claim to be players, saying that the game of mowing grass is really fun.

There are really newcomers who were fooled into buying this game, and when they experienced this masterpiece with full of anticipation... half an hour later, they silently exited the game and watched a group of "sincere" people on the Internet The netizens who praised this game couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

How heartless must this be to say something so dishonest?

Mowing game?

Regardless of mobs or bosses, just hack them to death with a few knives?

hehehe...

There is really nothing wrong with this statement. The only mistake is that you didn't explain who is the grass and who will be hacked to death with a few knives...

so bad!
The first group of players to experience "Dark Souls" felt in a trance that they had scolded "Havoc in Heaven" as being too much of a fool... they were really wrong.

Compared with this "Masterpiece", which is just "Havoc in Heaven", the difficulty is not worth mentioning at all, okay?
"Such a difficult game, you call it mowing grass one by one? Can there be more trust between people? It's really sad."

A cheated player scolded angrily.

After scolding, he was a little unwilling, so he searched for those posts asking "how about "Dark Soul"", and replied one by one below:
"It's fun! It's fun! This is the best super masterpiece I've ever played!"

"Who said the game is difficult? Let me tell you, they are purely trying to scare you into playing. This game is not difficult at all. Mowing the grass is very comfortable."

"Really, I won't lie to you. The reason why some people find it difficult may be that they have never played this style of action games before, so they are not used to it."

"Believe in your own level, there is no problem playing such a game, look forward to playing together."

"Look at me, I abused the boss with ease. I have a great sense of attack, and the real feedback is great. The difficulty is moderate. Even a novice who is new to action games can easily get started."

"I'm already a well-known user in the game circle, can I still lie to you? Believe me, I'm right, buy it, don't worry so much."

A wave of operations, a quick push!
It's a pity that this person doesn't write novels.

After a heavy output, the player's anger disappeared, and he sat on the chair with some collapse, feeling like he had entered the sage mode.

After brushing through the posts casually, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

After much deliberation and hesitation, he finally decided to reopen "Dark Soul"... He is a well-known player in the game circle and has always been known for his love of challenging difficulties. How could he give up?

then--

While cursing, he suppressed his broken heart and played the game over and over again.

There is always a huge word "death" appearing on the TV screen. After watching it for a long time, I think it might be more appropriate to replace this word with "vegetable".

……

【Thunder 2】The first batch of early adopters received feedback from consumers.

The overall evaluation is still very good, 99% of the praise, very few players who are not used to playing, also provide free return and exchange services.

The first seven masterpieces have received good reviews, and each game has brought many surprises to players.

Relying on the high performance and graphics processing of 64-bit game consoles, the development team can turn more wild imaginations into reality when designing games, thus bringing many exciting things to players.

"The domestic side is stable."

After reading the comprehensive report, Tian Moyun said: "The Bank of China version will produce another 100 million units, so stop production in a short time. All production lines will be adjusted to the exclusive versions of the world's major mainstream countries. In addition, the world's major mainstream powers will be released. version, the time is set within November 11, and the responsible persons in various places can decide for themselves.”

The Bank of China version has 500 million in stock before, and another 100 million units will be produced, which is a total of 600 million.

The stock of 600 million units is enough to last until next year.

Some people may find it strange that [Dragon Scale 3] sold a full 800 million units a month, while the more excellent [Thunder 2] only prepared 600 million units, which seems to be insufficient.

but--

For things like game consoles, there are many factors that determine whether they sell well. It doesn’t mean that a game console with good performance and fun games will sell well.

In addition to the factors of these products themselves, there is another very important factor, that is market saturation.

[Dragon Scale 3] was launched last year, and tens of millions of units have been sold in China so far. There is not much room left for [Thunder 2].

Under such circumstances, the stock of 600 million... I am afraid that it may not be sold out by the New Year, and it is naturally enough.

therefore--

Tian Moyun did not put his hope in the country, at least for a short period of time, the domestic game market is just an embellishment for [Thunder 2].

His real goal is the global market, competing for share from those international game giants.

Compared with the Great Xia Kingdom, which is still relatively poor so far, the national economy of the world's mainstream powers is obviously several times or ten times better. These people have strong purchasing power and a large base.

The console game market in Great Xia Kingdom will not exceed 2000 million, but what about the world?

At least 3 million!
A gap of 15 times!

This is a market that all game manufacturers in the world are coveting. If anyone can win the big head, the profits will at least create a top ten bigwig in the world's richest list.

……

"I'm worried that someone will trip me up."

Lu Wenbo is a little worried about the situation in the international market. Those international game overlords are not easy to mess with. In terms of funds, they may not be as rich as their [Thunderbolt], but their ability to control the entire market, sales channels, publicity channels, player reputation, etc. However, it is not comparable to them.

If these game overlords are determined to fight against them, it may cause some troubles.

"According to the pre-plan, there will be no problem."

Tian Moyun smiled: "The situation overseas is different from ours. Compared with the businessmen in Daxia Kingdom, they are more capitalized there. As long as we can give enough sweetness, those channels will still choose us. .As for the countermeasures of these game overlords? Hehe, there is [Dragon Scale 3] behind it."

"You mean to say..."

Lu Wenbo seemed to understand something.

"If they block it early, we may be in some trouble, but... you have seen the joke before."

Tian Moyun said: "Even if they want to block it now, it's not so easy for them. The market value of [Thunder 2] is clearly seen by the channel dealers. The comprehensive strength of [Thunder Group] is also recognized by the world. Channels Merchants will not choose to offend us for the sake of these game overlords, they will only become profit-driven folly."

"They are inferior to us in every way now, and the only way to fight back is to cut prices and promote sales."

"The game consoles of these companies have been on the market for at least a year. Of course, it is no problem to cut prices to stimulate sales, but our new products cannot be lowered. This is an opportunity they must seize."

"but--"

"[Thunder 2] can't fight a price war, it doesn't mean I have no other means."

"If they want to fight a price war, then I will directly pull down the price of [Dragon Scale 3], so that they can't sell it even if they lower the price."

"In this way, there will be [Thunder 2nd Generation] on top and [Dragon Scale 3rd Generation] below, which is enough to make them feel uncomfortable and want to die."

[Dragon Scale 3rd Generation]!
Lu Wenbo understood.

Tian Moyun's idea is very simple——

Right now they are not in a hurry to make money, [Thunder Game] and [Dragon Scale Game] will merge soon, grasping market share and operating IP value are the most important.

As long as this step is done well, there will be plenty of money to be made in the future.

"They really should suffer."

Lu Wenbo sighed softly: "I suspect that their current mood may not be beautiful, but they will never guess that this is just the beginning, and this bad feeling will always accompany them in the future."

……

Of course not in a good mood!

Several major international game giants felt a strong sense of crisis. They did not dare to underestimate it. They knew that it would be difficult to fight against this behemoth with their own strength, so they decided to join forces very decisively.

They teamed up to put pressure on the distributors of several mainstream powers, hoping that the other party would refuse to be the supplier of [Thunder 2].

For this reason, they can cede a lot of benefits.

But other channel dealers are not fools, how could they let them get what they want?
To the astonishment of several game giants, these distributors didn't even give them a chance to bargain, and directly refused.

This is not normal!
Based on their understanding of these channel providers, they can do anything as long as they give enough profits.

For example, when discussing cooperation in the past, the two parties fought hard because of a little bit of profit, and carried out the business philosophy of "profit only".

Logically speaking, since I have proposed such a good cooperation condition, the other party must definitely sign the agreement rightly, so how come there is still money to be made?

"Isn't this something an idiot can do?"

Tian Moyun was speechless when he heard about this.

"Why are you an idiot?"

Su Qiong fell into a blind spot of thinking and didn't quite understand it.

"It's simple."

Tian Moyun explained to her: "Think about it, what is the negotiating power for the channel dealer to negotiate cooperation with these game companies?"

Negotiation confidence?

Su Qiong frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly realized: "The negotiation space brought about by market competition."

"Yes."

Tian Moyun nodded: "It is precisely because of the competition among these game giants that channel operators have the opportunity to negotiate. They can choose the most beneficial cooperation plan through negotiation, but what if these game giants suddenly join forces? ? At this time, if you were a distributor, what would you do?"

"This……"

Su Qiong thought for a while: "I would rather cooperate with the newcomer [Thunder Games] at a cheap price than agree to their terms of cooperation. Now it seems that the cooperation proposed by these game giants is full of sincerity and lucrative , but once [Thunder Game] no longer threatens them, the next person who will be unlucky is himself."

It's very simple.

These game giants can join forces to deal with [Thunder Games] today, and tomorrow they can join hands to squeeze their distributors...

In the capital market, whoever controls the source of profit is the father.

The relationship between Party A and Party B is not just reflected in the contract. In the capital market, the relationship between the two may be swapped at any time.

Take the present matter as an example.

Several game giants compete fiercely, so at this time, the channel provider who plays a great role in their competition is Dad. Whoever controls the channel is likely to win.

But if the game giants join forces, then they themselves are the fathers, and the channel dealers will become a vulnerable group in negotiations with them.

Under such circumstances, the channel dealer would rather let the newcomer [Thunder Game] come out than let himself become a weaker party.

It can be said--

These game giants, including [Super Hard Mo Luo], had a good hand of cards, but they were beaten to pieces.

Originally, they had a bit of an advantage in channel negotiations, but the result was that the channel dealers themselves were frightened. Who the hell would dare to cooperate with them for this benefit?
No wonder Tian Moyun called them idiots.

……

"Why is that?"

Su Qiong frowned, feeling a little incomprehensible.

It's not that I can't understand the human logic and capital logic, but I can't understand what the top executives of these game giants think?Can't even understand such a simple question?
"It's also very simple."

Tian Moyun smiled: "There is a good saying, those who are obsessed with the authorities are the ones who are on the sidelines. We can see clearly from the outside, so we feel that what they are doing at the moment is very stupid, but what about in their own thinking environment? Not so much, I only know that I am facing a huge crisis, I need to hold together for warmth, and I need to do everything possible to resist us by any means... And their actions are also in line with their own identities."

"I see."

Su Qiong nodded, understood.

"So, isn't this our chance?"

she asked again suddenly.

"Yes, and it's a great opportunity they personally gave us."

Tian Moyun nodded: "[Thunder Game] is the biggest overlord in the game circle of Daxia Kingdom. In terms of revenue capacity, it can be ranked in the top five in the world, which is not inferior to these international game giants. What's more, [Thunder Game] is behind With the entire group, the most valued private enterprise in Daxia Kingdom, plus [Thunder 2] has perfectly inherited all the market resources of [Dragon Scale 3]... The channel dealers will definitely attach great importance to cooperation with us, they They will be very active in cultivating us, helping us gain a place in the world, and then provide them with more value."

"This idea is beautiful, but the reality will be cruel."

Su Qiong is very familiar with Tian Moyun's routines, and then said: "After [Thunder Games] takes root, they will invest in and operate their own chain brand stores, and then replace the cooperation with channel providers. Broken."

"You know a lot."

Tian Moyun looked at her with a half-smile.

"This kind of routine of killing donkeys is learned from you."

Su Qiong showed no sign of weakness.

"No, no, you are wrong."

Tian Moyun shook his head again and again: "This is not killing the donkey. It's just a normal business behavior. There is no saying that anyone owes anyone. When we [Thunder Games] have a firm foothold in the world, these channel providers will certainly play a vital role." Important help, but at the same time, the benefits they get from it are absolutely astronomical."

Normal business behavior is not good or evil.

Channel dealers are willing to help [Thunder Games], not because they want to be close to the Great Xia Kingdom, nor because they want to make friends with him, but for their own long-term interests.

"That's true."

Su Qiong nodded.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, do you have any plans after get off work?"

Tian Moyun changed the subject: "If there are no arrangements, then I will make arrangements."

"Okay."

……

[Thunder 2] is very popular in Daxia Kingdom.

But just as Tian Moyun thought, because the sales of [Dragon Scale 3] were too crazy last year, the market was somewhat saturated, leaving them basically a group of people who are too lazy to change game consoles, or have been waiting for [Thunder 2] Thunder fans.

In addition, there are not many real passer-by consumers.

[Thunder 2] is indeed a very good game machine, and a batch of masterpieces such as "Final Fantasy" are indeed very exciting, but these are just things in the game circle, and have not yet formed the potential to go out of the circle and ability.

This also led to the fact that the players who bought the [Thunder 2] game consoles were all fans of the game circle, not passers-by.

Tian Moyun is very clear that before there is a product that really goes out of the circle, even if [Thunder 2] is popular in China, its final sales will definitely not be too ideal, and it may even be unable to surpass [Dragon Scale 3] .

"Consolidate the overseas market first, and wait until next year...it's time to plan a major event that will truly change the game industry."

Tian Moyun thought in his heart.

When Su Qiong asked him what he was thinking, Tian Moyun didn't answer and asked instead: "I heard that next year our country will hold the World Games, is this true?"

"of course."

Su Qiong nodded, and looked at him strangely: "Didn't this matter be announced a long time ago? Now that the site has started to be built, you should know about the big event that caused a sensation in the entire Great Xia Kingdom?"

"..."

Tian Moyun smiled and said nothing.

World Games!
It is actually a very similar worldwide event to the Olympic Games on Earth in the previous life.

Tian Moyun has no interest in the sports meeting, and he doesn't want to participate in anything, but... he knows very well how terrifying the commercial value of the World Games is.

There are many articles that can be done here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

And most importantly -

The World Games has something to do with the new game that Tian Moyun has been planning. If the two sides can cooperate, then the sales of [Thunder 2] in the world can at least double...

　Thank you [Various high-rise buildings and various crooked] boss for the reward of 100 starting coins——about [-] today, um... The plot that has been laid out for a long time has not been written, and the mood is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to face everyone’s criticism. A little guilty... Let the little author cry for a while under the quilt~~~
