Chapter Thirty-One: The Wind Rises
"Xian'er, I heard that you called your second uncle last night?"
Jiu Qiansui stood in front of the desk in the study, while his father Wei Xiuyuan was swiping ink on a piece of rice paper on the desk.
"Yes, I called my second uncle last night and asked him to help me."
When facing Wei Xiuyuan, Jiu Qiansui also directly admitted it.
"Xian'er, you should know that our Wei family has been divided into two branches since ancient times. One is in the light and the other is in the dark. In my generation, I was in the dark and your second uncle was in the bright. But in your generation, according to the old man's wishes
It’s time for us to serve as officials.”
"And your grandpa means to let your second uncle help pave the way for you when the time comes, so try not to let your second uncle's opponents take advantage of it at this time, do you know?"
After putting down the brush in his hand, Wei Xiuyuan said seriously to Jiu Qiansui.
"I got it. Then I'll go back to the room first."
"Um."
...
At this time, abroad, a storm directly swept the entire game market.
After many days of planning, Gods Game began to exert its strength. Harvey even mortgaged his own property, which showed a strong tendency to stud. And with the channels of Gods Game, Minecraft began to explode.
Foreign networks.
"Is this data accurate?"
When receiving the survey results from the marketing department, almost most of the marketing department heads asked this question.
The single-day sales directly exceeded 300,000, and the total sales volume was close to the 500,000 mark. There is no doubt that Minecraft is destined to be a dark horse in the game market this year.
During this period of time, no major game titles appeared. Whether it was European and American game manufacturers, RB, South Korea, etc., no major titles appeared, and everyone's attention was not too focused.
And inadvertently, "My Game" began to rise suddenly, and sales suddenly started. In just two days, sales directly exceeded 300,000 downloads in a single day, and there is obviously a trend of further improvement!
The heads of the marketing departments of major game manufacturers who originally did not pay much attention to Minecraft also held meetings one after another and began to analyze the reasons for the popularity of Minecraft.
They discovered this game when Minecraft appeared on the Internet before, but after simple testing and analysis, they basically believed that this game is on par with current mainstream games in terms of picture quality and game mode.
It was different, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
But I didn’t expect that Minecraft, which had been unknown before, would suddenly experience explosive user growth after being represented by Gods Games, relying on the channels of Gods Games and the praise among game players.
"How's it going? Have you got the results of the analysis?"
The head of Ubisoft's marketing department looked at the people sitting in the audience and said.
There is no doubt that this was their mistake.
"Well, the success of sandbox games like Boss can only be said to be that they have captured the psychology of users. This model is destined to be impossible to copy, because the market is so big. Even if we copy their model, users may not necessarily buy it.
What's more, they are probably already preparing for subsequent revisions."
After hearing what his subordinates said, the head of Ubisoft's marketing department was livid. It felt so bad to watch a piece of cake appear in front of him and there was nothing he could do about it.
At this time, the headquarters of Gods Games was indeed in a carnival. According to statistics from their marketing department, the game Minecraft exploded in Europe and the United States immediately after its promotion, with single-day downloads exceeding 300,000.
It became the top list of global game downloads that day. As for the revenue, it was close to 8 million US dollars. It can be said that with the game Minecraft, Gods Games has turned around.
And this is just the .asxs of Minecraft. With the increase in promotion efforts, this game is destined to be spread around the world.
The next step is to consider how to spend the money you earn.
"Operations Department, immediately contact our channel partners, as well as major websites and forums to increase publicity efforts. We must hurry up before Christmas to plant our flag even in the backward land of Africa!"
Harvey said enthusiastically that he could already foresee the glory of the Game of the Gods.
Because of the time difference, Harvey had to wait until late at night to call Su Yan to report the good news. He wanted to prove to Su Yan that Harvey didn't have to wait until the end of the year to make Minecraft popular all over the world.
When the call was connected, Su Yan was learning to drive with Wang Xueba at the driving school. After the phone rang, Su Yan said sorry to the coach and walked towards a corner of the training ground.
The reason why the coach had such a good attitude was that Su Yan had already greeted the leadership of the driving school before and directly bought his and Wang Xueba's driver's licenses and paid some extra fees. As for the coach, he also charged Su Yan more than a thousand dollars.
Benefits, so the attitude is simply the difference between heaven and hell compared to those students who only paid the registration fee.
"Harvey, what's wrong?"
After answering the phone, Su Yan looked at Wang Xueba who was practicing driving and said. At this time, he also wanted to know what urgent matter could cause Harvey to call him so late at night.
"Dear Sue, we succeeded!" Then Harvey told me about the sales situation of Minecraft on the phone.
"Of course, after a while I will upgrade Minecraft again and launch several new game modes. Harvey, can you contact other game manufacturers? I have an idea
We need to discuss with major game manufacturers in the world."
The success of Minecraft was all within Su Yan's expectation. If it didn't succeed, Su Yan would be surprised.
"Oh my gosh? Working with you is the best decision I've made in years!"
Hearing that Su Yan would launch a new Minecraft mode soon, Harvey suddenly became excited. It is conceivable that when the new mode is launched, Minecraft will usher in another explosion.
"As for the well-known game manufacturers in the world, I have their contact information, but whether they will talk to us..."
Obviously, Gods Games, which has been a game agent for so many years, will have more or less contact with major game manufacturers, but considering the size of Gods Games, they may have only heard of those big manufacturers, but with my
After playing this game in the world, the chances of negotiation are still relatively high.
And Su Yan also has a certain degree of confidence. With the user base of Minecraft and the chips he has offered to major game manufacturers, he believes that except for Sony, which relies on selling consoles, no game manufacturer can refuse this kind of game.
lure.
According to Su Yan's estimation, after Minecraft began to be released worldwide, with more than 300,000 sales on the first day, he was sure that when the subsequent versions of Minecraft were launched, it would reach tens of millions of users.
Some people have even begun to wonder whether Minecraft will be compared with the Titanic filmed by that veteran Hollywood actor.
It was also unknown at the beginning, but then it suddenly became powerful, earning not only tears but also money. It can be said to be both good and boring.
