"The third area is online games. The online game "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Human World" developed by Red Star Interactive Entertainment is already in testing and is expected to be launched during the 1998 Spring Festival.

In addition, with the help of this development, we, Huaguang and Huaxin have further improved the game development engine. We estimate that the subsequent development of Hongmeng online games will further enhance the experience in all aspects.”

As she spoke, Qin Wanqiu opened an internal family website.

The above statistics show the sales data of the publisher:

“Although the Internet is developing rapidly, physical publishing still brings a lot of income to our media group.

The last part I want to talk about is the physical publication and comic adaptation of the Hongmeng series. "

Peng Wanhua nodded, although physical publishing has declined since the rise of the Internet.

But physical books have always been one of the hobbies of many people.

There will be a market for this even decades later, let alone now.

Qin Wanqiu said: "Among them, the physical publications have already been published and distributed for the Hongmeng trilogy and the Honghuang trilogy.

The first part, "Hongmeng Kaitian Ji", has 390 million words and is divided into 13 volumes. The total sales volume has reached 3100 million copies!

The second part, "Hongmeng: The War between Gods and Demons", has 550 million words and is divided into 18 volumes. The total sales have reached 2900 completed copies!

The third part, "The Battle of the Primordial Demonic Path", has 600 million words, divided into 20 volumes, with a total sales volume of 2800 million copies!

The fourth part, "Honghuang: The Great Tribulation of Dragon and Phoenix", has 550 million words, divided into 18 volumes, with a total sales volume of 2700 million copies!

The fifth part, "Honghuang: The Tribulation of Liches and Wizards", has 510 million words, divided into 17 volumes, with a total sales volume of 2680 million copies!

Total sales: 1 million copies! The sixth book is still being written."

“In terms of comic book adaptation and publishing, we have completed the development and distribution of the first volume, Hongmeng Pangu Kaitian, which is divided into 50 volumes.

其中第一册全球销量达到了1100万本,第二册达到了800万本,第三册达到了720万本,第四册达到了710万本……第50册漫画销量达到了570万本!

Total sales reached 3 million copies!

In addition, the comic adaptation of the second season of Hongmeng is being developed simultaneously.”

"Comparing the data of the two, it is obvious that the sales of physical books cannot beat comics. We have analyzed and counted the reasons, and found that it is mainly because readers have read it online, so a large part of them will not buy physical books again."

At this point, Qin Wanqiu frowned, "Many people from publishing houses suggested to me that subsequent books should not be serialized online, but all published in physical form, which can increase the sales of physical books, but I always feel that something is wrong, and I am still considering it."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's finish what we said before. In addition, comics bring better visual effects and more three-dimensional characters, which will be more popular. Because our comic books are of high quality, some comic lovers even buy them specifically for collection."

Upon hearing this, Peng Wanhua nodded immediately.

This seemed normal to him.

He said: “From the paper data alone, it seems that the sales of physical books are not as good as comics because of the online serialization, but I don’t think it can be calculated that way.

First of all, online serialization is one of our important products to increase the stickiness of the website. The more loyal users there are, the more favored the stocks of Red Star Online will be by investors.

Secondly, online serialization is an important way for us to expand our influence, and we can also obtain some monetization through advertising.

Furthermore, it is precisely because of the online serialization method that it reaches more readers and thus stimulates these readers' enthusiasm for comics and movies.

This will attract more people to buy comics, watch movies, and later open theme parks and launch games.”

“To put it bluntly, free online serialization is to attract traffic, increase users, and continue to expand influence, thereby increasing stock prices.

If the online serialization is cancelled, it is very likely that a large number of readers will be restricted, which will have an adverse impact on a series of ecological industrial chains surrounding comics and movies!

If a company competes with us and snatches our users away, we will lose more than just these users.

In my opinion, the market value brought by this part of users alone can reach 10% of the market value of Red Star Online!

By the way, what is the current market value of Red Star Online?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanqiu immediately clicked on a web page that showed the market value rankings of Internet companies.

"Our market value has now reached $510 billion, ranking third in the world among Internet companies, behind Meijing Technology and NTT-MP."

Peng Wanhua nodded and said, "Well, then this group of users is worth 51 billion US dollars."

Qin Wanqiu nodded slightly, "I understand. This short-sighted approach is not advisable."

Peng Wanhua nodded and said with a smile: "Sometimes data is like this. Local data can deceive people's eyes. We need to look at the data from a broader, deeper, horizontal and vertical perspective."

In his opinion, the data and analysis provided by Red Star Publishing House are correct.

But local data cannot represent the overall situation.

Within a few days.

Peng Wanhua received great news.

The fruit of his love with Jiang Xue is born!

"Congratulations, Mr. Peng! The twins are great, and mother and child are safe!" The nurse congratulated while holding the two baby boys.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Peng Wanhua took the child and couldn't help but feel happy!

If he wasn't holding the child, he would have jumped three feet high with joy!

Looking at the appearance of the two little guys, he knew that they were the two iron-headed kids from his previous life!

Jiang Xue was pushed out of the delivery room on a mobile delivery bed.

When she saw that they were two boys, she was immediately a little depressed and said, "Why are you so happy? They are not twins!"

She had always wanted twins, a boy and a girl, when she was pregnant.

She felt complete because she had both a son and a daughter at once.

Now that I see my two boys, I feel a little depressed.

"Why do they always give birth to twins, a boy and a girl?" Jiang Xue muttered.

Peng Wanhua had sharp ears and heard her mumbling. He immediately comforted her, "Zhang Li and Shufen only gave birth to a boy. If you want to have a girl, you can have another one later."

Jiang Xue sighed: "Alas! I just don't want to go through this again!"
