Chapter 200: Sales and Satisfaction
Just after going to work, the employees of Phoenix's game production department were busy, they had to pack the beautifully packaged games and label them with the tracking number.
"Hurry up, everyone, it's going to be shipped in half an hour!"
"I found out that one person bought two hundred copies, it must be a game dealer......"
"Forget it, the money is paid, we can't take care of it. And it's good to let them hype it up, it can also increase the effect. β
Yesterday, the collector's edition of "Fate/staynight" was completely sold, and the employees had to help with the tracking number, but this matter was not troublesome at all, and dozens of people quickly got it done.
After packing the things, the men breathed a sigh of relief.
"When will the second edition of the Collector's Edition come out?"
"I don't know, the above said that there should be a certain interval, which can make "Fate/staynight" famous."
"I heard that Teacher He is coming to work today......
"It's really fake, let's sort it out, don't let the teacher see such a messy scene......"
There was a flurry in the game production department.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Meng Shu stood at the door of the Phoenix Building in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Alice walked up to him with the documents and smiled: "You haven't come back for two weeks, don't you know the company?" β
"Nope." Meng Shu shook his head, he was just surprised by the yellow statue outside the Phoenix Building, which was a three-meter-tall Pikachu doll, and next to the doll, there were some passers-by taking pictures in surprise.
"What's going on with that Pikachu?" He asked.
"Oh, this...... It was sent by the TV station! Alice laughed: "The ratings of Pokemon have exceeded 45 percent, and they are even close to breaking the TV station's ratings record." They made a doll for us. β
"There is no urgency in this matter for the time being. Let's go back to the company first! β
Alice walked into the building with Meng Huo. As soon as he entered the gate, Meng Shu found that many people's eyes had changed when they looked at him, which was a mixture of admiration and fanaticism.
"Good morning, teacher."
"Good morning, what a pity teacher!"
The security guards, the front desk lady, and even the aunt who swept the floor would take the initiative to say hello when they saw Meng Shu.
Meng Shu came to the door of the editorial office of "Weekly Boy", but he had not yet entered. But I heard the laughter inside.
"Ha Luha, today's newspapers are so funny, all of them are praising "Fate/staynight", which is the complete opposite of yesterday!"
"I admire these reporters the most, they scolded so fiercely yesterday, and they can still praise them casually today, I think their faces are going to be swollen, this is a swollen face and a fat man, halu ha!"
"It's a pity that the teacher is here in a while, we have to give him a big surprise."
Hear the surprise. Meng Shu didn't want to go in so quickly, and Alice beside him smiled: "Don't be busy going in." Let's go to the chairman's office first. β
As soon as she came back, she felt that it would be better for Meng Shu to go and say hello to Xu Jing. Meng Shu nodded, and then took the elevator to Xu Jing's office alone.
The old man was smiling happily with the newspaper, and when he saw Meng Shu coming in, he quickly got up: "Come, Meng Shu, sit down...... You're making news again. β
He pointed to the newspaper and smiled.
"Yesterday you scolded on it, but now it's a lot of praise, and a few newspapers that are good with us just called me to complain and asked you to spoil the game before launching the game in the future."
"Spoilers impossible." Meng Shu sat down, and then asked, "How are the sales of Fate/staynight?" β
He hadn't looked at the computer yet, so he didn't know what was going on with Lu Dao.
"All the collector's editions have been sold, and the number of purchases of the digital edition has exceeded 50,000." Xu Jing smiled with satisfaction: "The total sales are ......"
"Close to five million!?"
On the same morning, the heads of hundreds of game companies in Ninghai and even Huaxia jumped up.
"On the first day of release, the sales were close to five million! The cost is only one million, and the production cycle is ...... One month? β
The staggering rate of return generated by Fate/staynight has left these game practitioners jaw-dropping and screaming incredible. There are even many heads of small companies who jumped excitedly.
"Hahaha, here's your chance!"
"The status quo of the industry has finally changed a little......"
In the Chinese game industry, the current situation is a money-burning industry, and small game production companies have limited funds and cannot compare with large companies, but the emergence of "Fate/staynight" has given them hope again.
Tens of thousands of copies are sold a day, is this sales considered high?
It's not high, many games are millions of players, and tens of thousands are a fart. However, it takes several years to plan a game now, and the funds needed are hundreds of millions of Chinese coins.
These small companies can't afford it, and they can't afford it, but Fate/staynight is the best choice for them because of its simple structure, low cost and good returns.
"Immediately a meeting, a meeting!"
The heads of some small companies were very excited, they found that word adventure games have a lot to offer, and they are still a blue ocean, and if they follow the trend and launch the game early, they can easily make a profit.
"Fate/staynight" is five million a day, and the final profit can easily exceed more than ten times the cost, even if other companies are a little worse, but the revenue exceeds the cost twice the problem, right?
Is there a cheaper and better money-making game than this?
Even if it fails, a million...... This is less risky than any other game.
"It's a pity that the teacher is really a beacon for us......"
On Weibo, the heads of countless small companies @δ½regret thanked him. This phenomenon caught the attention of some readers, but they turned their eyes and were surprised to find -
Just a month ago, many game practitioners in Ninghai used Weibo to scold what a pity. It is said that he invaded the game world to rob them of their small jobs, and now, a month later, they see He Xi as a beacon.
"I'm rubbing, this is too repetitive!"
A reader couldn't help but comment, and then the Weibo owner himself answered.
"It's not a repetition, but we have re-acquainted ourselves with Mr. He Xi, who has brought us a new opportunity in the game industry, and deserves the word beacon!"
Meng Shu was completely unaware of these people's praise on the Internet, and when Xu Jing told him that the sales of "Fate/staynight" would exceed 10 million or even more, he was calm.
Even if the sales volume exceeds more than 20 million, in fact, the number of buyers has increased by four or five times, and the final number of people who buy the game is only three or four hundred thousand.
Meng Shu is not surprised, first of all, "Fate/staynight" is a niche game, and it is quite good that so many people have bought it.
"Why are you upset?" Xu Jing was surprised by Meng Shu's calmness, and he said, "The cost of Fate/staynight is equivalent to that of a browser game, but the return is several times greater, and the market rates it very highly. β
"Meng Shu, are you not satisfied?"
Xu Jing asked, and at the same time, there was a hint of scrutiny on his face.
"If you mean sales, then it's average, the company is satisfied." Meng smiled, he was not interested in the sales of Fate/staynight, but was interested in the impact it would have.
And this has begun to spread among the readership...... (To be continued......)
