Luo Mao looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

At seven o'clock in the morning, outside a newly opened Longquan game store in Suhua City, dozens of players happily lined up for the game to be sold, and Luo Mao and his colleagues stood at the back, the faces of the two people were not very optimistic, there were so many people queuing up in Suhua City, and the sales of "Netad" seemed to be doomed.

"Seniors, don't care, what a pity is this brand effect." My colleague cheered up and laughed, "It doesn't mean that Netad is good, as long as these people take it home and play it for a few hours, the buying frenzy will pass." ”

Luo Mao nodded heavily, in fact, he understood that the number of people in line now had nothing to do with the quality of "Netad", but a kind of expression of the dual appeal of what a pity and advertising, but seeing this kind of scene, Luo Mao felt a little uncomfortable.

"I may indeed underestimate the teacher......"

He thought so, maybe it was because he hadn't played a game for too long, and he underestimated He Xi's influence. He originally thought that when He Xi launched the word adventure game again after a year, his popularity should have dissipated, but the scene in front of him broke the luck mentality, and He Xi's popularity not only did not dissipate, but increased a lot over time.

And there are players in the team who follow suit......

"You're all fans of the manga of Mr. Hexi?"

"No, I don't read manga, but I'm always looking forward to a new game from the creator of Fate/staynight. The price of this "Netad" is very high, I think the quality should be good, and I plan to buy it and try it at home. ”

"I came here when I saw an advertisement."

"Is this game that good? I'm here to buy it for my boyfriend, but I don't know what kind of game it is! ”

In the team, there are a lot of similar conversations, Luo Mao felt relieved when he heard it, many of these people were curious and followed the trend to buy it, as long as they were disappointed to play, the enthusiasm for buying "Netad" would decline. And in the end, it's a pity that there is a strict error in the pricing of the game itself, the collector's pack includes the all-age version, and the price is 2oo Huaxia coins.

"A fool would buy it at this price?" Luo Mao thought to himself, but at this moment, a person in front of the queue suddenly shouted to the game store owner, "Boss, I want a collector's bag." Why didn't you see it? ”

Luo Mao was shocked, is this really stupid? He looked up, and it turned out to be a boy who looked like a junior high school, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Under eighteen, you can only buy the all-age version and the collector's bag, most of the people in this team are adults, and the others shouldn't be the same as him." ”

"It's gone." Then. The owner of the game store glanced at the junior high school student and said with a smile: "You're a little late, the collector's bags are all sold out, so you might as well buy the all-age version of 14o Huaxia coins." ”

"Okay......"

The junior high school student nodded in disappointment.

And Luo Mao's eyes widened, the collection bag was gone? How is this possible, it has only been open for half an hour, how can it be gone?

"Li Hu. How many packs are there in Netad? He nervously asked his colleagues around him, and his colleagues thought for a while: "It seems to be 50,000 sets in total, and Longquan Company may be worried that it will not be able to sell out, so it is limited to 50,000 sets for the first time." ”

50,000 sets, Luo Mao calculated in his heart, according to this number distributed throughout the country, the number of each store is very small, and the region is different. Some stores may not have it yet, and the store itself may only have a few sets, so it seems that it is not a big deal to sell out.

However, despite this, Luo Mao was still a little uneasy - the atmosphere today was too strange.

Longquan Company, headquartered in Yanjing

At eight o'clock in the morning, the company was also enveloped in a strange atmosphere, and employees gathered to whisper to each other. This made Li Longshan, who had just come to work, very dissatisfied.

"What's going on?" He walked into the office, then called the secretary and asked, "How can I see that the employees of some departments are absent-minded today, what is going on?" ”

"Mr. Li......" The secretary bowed to him and said, "We just counted the number jù." Netad was sold from 6:3o, and by 7:3o, the game had sold more than 70,000 copies. ”

Li Longshan was stunned: "What did you just say?" ”

"Netad sold more than 70,000 copies in its first hour!" The secretary glanced at him and reiterated again: "The biggest contribution to this number is the collector's bag, which sold nearly 40,000 copies, the 18 banned version has more than 20,000 copies, and the all-age version is close to 10,000 copies!" ”

This time Li Longshan heard clearly, "Netad" sold 70,000 copies, that is, within an hour, the sales of this game exceeded 10 million Huaxia coins!?

This number shocked Li Longshan a little, but after all, he was a person who had passed through the world, and Longquan had sold more popular games than this, so the vice president calmed down after a moment of shock: "What's the matter with this number?" Collector's Packs are twice as large as the 18 banned versions? And the whole age is less than half of the 18 ban? ”

He felt that this ratio was very abnormal, especially the collector's bag, which was almost sold out in just one hour.

"These numbers have been confirmed, and the sales of the 18-ban version were expected, and the all-age version was better than we expected, but not unexpected. The main reason is that the sales of collector's bags are very surprising...... "The secretary paused, and then opened a document and said: "We have analyzed the sales of collector's bags in various places, and now these collector's bags are packed and bought by a small number of people, and it can be determined that they are game dealers......"

"Mr. Li, we underestimated the impact of game dealers in advance, but we didn't expect them to be interested in Netad!" The secretary said, but Li Longshan shook his head solemnly: "No, those shouldn't be game dealers......"

His eyes flickered: "What a pity we underestimated. ”

Will game-dealers be interested in Netad? That's obviously not possible, word adventure games are just a niche and not many game dealers are interested in it yet. So those dealers are not so much game dealers as 'Ho Sorry dealers' who specialize in He Xi's works.

Li Longshan was a little helpless, he didn't expect that there would be such a group of people to save zài, he knew that this was the case, and the collection bag should have been prepared more.

"Mr. Li, without further ado, how about we add some more collection bags?" The secretary also thought of this and proposed to build yì.

"No, forget it." Li Longshan thought for a moment and felt that it was not a good idea to add a collector's pack: "It's a limited edition, it's sold out when it's sold out, and adding it at will will cause turmoil, and we'll release a second edition of the collector's pack in a few weeks." ”

He smiled with satisfaction: "And we can recoup the cost of advertising, which is already very good." ”

Of the sales of 10 million Huaxia coins, Longquan Company received more than one-fifth of the share, that is, two million. And that's just an hour's payoff, and in a few weeks, Netad's sales will multiply several times, and Longquan won't lose money anyway - they only spent six million on advertising.

"Did the company anticipate this kind of scene?" The secretary was a little curious, and he said: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, I still don't understand why the company wants to advertise this game. Why should we show favor to him if he is just a cartoonist, he has no interest in us at all? ”

His problem is something that Longquan's internal employees and even many media in the outside world are puzzled by, "Netad" is a low-cost game after all, any game in Huaxia that is a little famous can live its value, why should Longquan take the initiative to cooperate with Phoenix Company?

"It's a strategic investment, and you're not looking far enough." Li Longshan glanced at the secretary and asked, "I said a person, you should know the writer named Ah Si, right?" ”

"Yes." The secretary nodded, this is a famous novelist, but he doesn't know why Li Longshan mentioned this person.

Ah Si is now a director, and he has made the novel into a movie with great success, and has become a big star in the film and television industry. There is also the writer called Father-in-law, who made movies with Ah Si, and then he also succeeded......" Li Longshan said: "Then there are the novelists with the names of Sanshao and a few fruits and vegetables, and the games adapted from their novels are very popular...... The online game called "Immortals", which is now among the top five in China, is also an adaptation of a novel. ”

"The recent new game called "Ah Feng I want to make headlines" is also ...... by the writer Aunt Wang"

"Wait! I get it! The secretary wiped his sweat and said, "The company thinks that as the No. 1 cartoonist, there is a possibility that the work can be adapted into a game?" ”

Li Longshan nodded.

"Yes, no matter what it means to be adapted by someone else or to create it himself, this is the era of pan-entertainment, and a work may evolve into animation, movies, novels, games, and all kinds of things. And the comic industry is expanding by leaps and bounds, why not stand at the pinnacle of this industry, sooner or later he will expand outward......" he sighed: "It's just a matter of time, there is no harm in us Longquan dealing with him." ”

Zhongxia can't get any benefits in front of him, and of course Longquan won't offend.

Li Longshan finished explaining that he saw that the secretary had nothing to report, so he let him out.

After the secretary left, Li Longshan picked up an all-age edition of "Netad" on the table, and when he opened the cardboard box, there was a delicate character album and two CDs. The artbook is a booklet of all the characters of Netad, including the introduction of the characters, and the disc is divided into a game disc and a separately burned music disc.

If it's a collector's bag, there are more pictures in the album, and there will be an extra pack of playing cards for all characters, bookmarks for random characters, and a phone pendant for that character......

"It's a good drawing."

Li Longshan flipped through the album, then took out the disc and put it in the notebook: "Anyway, it's fun, I'm going to have fun......

"What kind of game did that kid make?"

How much value "Netad" can create zào is still known after playing it yourself.
