Chapter 200: Sales and Satisfaction
Just now, the employees of the Phoenix Game Production Department are busy. They have to pack the exquisitely packaged games and then paste the express order number.
"Everyone hurry up, the shipment will be delivered in half an hour!"
"I found that one person bought two hundred copies, and this must be a game dealer..."
"Forget it, we have paid all the money, we can't control it. And letting them hype it up, it can also increase the effect."
One day yesterday, the collector's version of "Fate/staynight" was sold completely, and the employees had to help post the order number, but this was not troublesome at all. Dozens of people quickly got it done.
After packing the things, these people breathed a sigh of relief.
"When will the second edition of the collector's version come out?"
"I don't know, the boss said there should be a certain interval, which can make "Fate/staynight" famous."
"I heard that Teacher He Xi is coming to work today..."
"It's true, everyone, please sort it out quickly, don't let the teacher see such a mess..."
There was a panic in the game production department.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Meng Huo stood at the entrance of Phoenix Building and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Alice walked to him with the documents, smiling: "Don't come back for two weeks, don't you know the company anymore?"
"No." Meng Huo shook his head. He was just surprised by the yellow statue outside the Phoenix Building. It was a three-meter-high Pikachu doll. Next to the doll, there were some passers-by taking photos in surprise.
"What's going on with that Pikachu?" he asked.
"Oh, this... this is sent by the TV station!" Alice smiled and said, "The ratings of "Pokemon" have exceeded 45%. It is even about to break the TV station's ratings record, so they specially customized a doll for us."
"There is no rush for this matter. Let's go back to the company first!"
Alice took Meng Huo into the building. As soon as she entered the gate, Meng Huo found that many people's eyes had changed when they looked at him, which was a look of admiration and fanaticism.
"Teacher He Xi, good morning."
"Good morning, Teacher He Xi!"
The security guard, the front desk lady, and even the aunt who swept the floor would take the initiative to say hello when they saw Meng Huo.
Meng Huo came to the door of the editorial department of "Weekly Boy". Before he could enter, he heard the laughter inside.
"Haha, today's newspapers are so funny. They are all praising "Fate/staynight", which is completely opposite to yesterday!"
"I admire these reporters the most. I scolded them yesterday and I can still praise them as if nothing happened today. I think their faces are about to be swollen. This is just a swollen face that is fat, haha!"
"Teacher He Xi is here later, we want to give him a big surprise."
Hearing the surprise, Meng Huo didn't want to go in so quickly. Alice beside him smiled and said, "Don't be busy going in. Go to the chairman's office first."
As soon as she came back, she thought it would be better for Meng Huo to say hello to Xu Jing. Meng Huo nodded, and then took the elevator alone to Xu Jing's office.
The old man laughed happily with the newspaper. When he saw Meng Huo coming in, he quickly stood up: "Come on Meng Huo, sit down...you have created news again."
He pointed to the newspaper and said with a smile.
"Yesterday you were scolding on it, but now you are full of praise. Several newspapers with us called me and complained that you would like to spoil the game before launching it in the future."
"Spoilers are impossible." Meng Huo sat down and asked, "How is the sales of the game "Fate/staynight"?"
He hasn't looked at the computer yet, and he doesn't know what's going on now.
"The collector's version has been sold, and the number of purchasers of the digital version has exceeded 50,000." Xu Jing smiled with satisfaction and said: "The combined sales are..."
"Near five million!?"
On the same morning, hundreds of heads of game companies in Ninghai and even China jumped up.
"One day of sale, sales are close to five million! The cost is only one million, and the production cycle is...one month?"
The amazing yield generated by "Fate/staynight" made these game practitioners dumbfounded and screamed incredible. Many leaders of small companies even jumped up excitedly.
"Hahaha, the opportunity is here!"
"The current situation of the Tiankhao industry has finally changed a little..."
The current situation in the Chinese gaming industry is a money-burning industry. Small game production companies have limited funds and cannot be compared with large companies. The emergence of "Fate/staynight" has made them see hope again.
Tens of thousands of copies are sold a day. Is this sales considered high?
Not high, many games are millions of players, and tens of thousands are nonsense. However, a game now takes years to plan, and the funds required are even hundreds of millions of Chinese coins.
These small companies cannot afford it and can't afford it. The architecture of "Fate/staynight" is very simple, with low cost and good returns, and is the best choice for them.
"Stay a meeting now!"
Some small companies are very excited. They find that text adventure games have great potential and are still a blue ocean. If you follow the trend and launch the game early, you can easily make money back.
"Fate/staynight" has five million yuan a day, and the final profit can easily exceed the cost by more than ten times. Even if other companies are a little worse, it is always okay to make a profit exceeding twice the cost, right?
Is there any cheaper and better money-making game than this?
Even if it fails, one million... This risk is smaller than any other game.
"Teacher He Xi is really waiting for the beacon..."
On Weibo, countless small company leaders @He Xi expressed their gratitude to him. This phenomenon attracted the attention of some readers, but their eyes turned around and were surprised to find-
Just a month ago, many Ninghai game practitioners scolded He Xi on Weibo, saying that he invaded the game world to steal their few jobs, but today, a month later, they regard He Xi as a beacon.
"Damn it, this is too repetitive!"
A reader couldn't help commenting, and then the Weibo owner answered in person.
"This is not a recurrence, but we have re-recognized Teacher He Xi. He has brought a new opportunity to our gaming industry and can deserve the word "beautiful light"!"
Meng Huo was completely unaware of the praises of these people on the Internet. When Xu Jing told him that the final sales of "Fate/staynight" would exceed 10 million, or even more, he looked calm.
Even if the sales volume exceeds more than 20 million, the number of buyers now has increased by four or five times, and the number of people who finally bought the game is only 300,000 to 400,000.
Meng Huo didn't feel surprised. First of all, "Fate/staynight" is a niche game, and it's already pretty good to buy it with so many people.
"Why are you unhappy?" Xu Jing was surprised by Meng Huo's calmness. He said: "The cost of "Fate/staynight" is equivalent to a web game, but the return is several times that, and the market has a high evaluation of it."
"Meng Huo, are you not satisfied?"
Xu Jing asked, and at the same time, there was a scrutiny on his face.
"If you refer to sales, then it's average, just be satisfied with the company." Meng Huo smiled. He was not interested in the sales of "Fate/staynight", but was interested in the impact it would have.
