Chapter Eighty-Fifth Worship as a God

Free-to-play games with in-app purchases often have a certain lag in revenue generation.

Just like Angry Birds, this game is paid for download, and is occasionally free for a limited time or a free version, so their biggest revenue comes from the player's payment and advertising revenue during download.

Although Yang Huan had high hopes for the game of Cut the Rope, he never thought that he would make a lot of money from this game.

The reason is very simple, this is not like a game that can make a lot of money at all.

And Yang Huan doesn't like adding advertisements to the game, so in the first two months of the game's release, the income can be said to be bleak, and it is even very inconsistent with the reputation.

According to the current number of downloads, the number of downloads of 10 million, based on the minimum consumption of 99 cents, is an income of 9.9 million US dollars, but it is funny to say that cutting the rope has now brought it to WeChat company. Earn tens of thousands of dollars.

But Yang Huan still didn't take it to heart. The reason is very simple. The game itself with free in-app purchases is a way to catch up.

If you make a lot of money in the first place, it's not necessarily a good thing.

Just like the performance on the list, apart from the initial publicity and promotion, the WeChat company has hardly made any efforts to build momentum.

The reason is very simple. Most of the users attracted by the campaign are here to join in the fun, not to play games.

So in September and October, cutting the rope seems to be very popular, but in fact the income is not high.

"Our revenue in October has improved a lot compared to before, exceeding our previous estimate of 500,000 pounds, and basically it can reach 700,000 pounds. After deducting Apple's share, we can get 500,000 pounds. "

For this, Zhu Liangcheng still admires it very much.

Because from the beginning to the end of this game, all the ideas are provided by Yang Huan, and even the details and testing of the game are checked by Yang Huan himself, and they just do it according to Yang Huan's requirements.

As a result, this game is really popular!

Now everyone in the entire WeChat company mentions Yang Huan like a god.

At the beginning, Yang Huan said to do WeChat, including Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin, everyone thought it was not cost-effective, but Yang Huan decided to do it, and now the total number of WeChat users is developing at an extremely fast speed.

Later, Yang Huan said that he was going to make a game, but Zhu Liangcheng, Wang Lin and others didn't know how to do it. It was Yang Huan who made the decision himself and made the cut rope. As a result, the game became very popular all over the world, and the limelight even overwhelmed it. The angry bird.

"The outside world is now evaluating us very well, and they believe that our development is very stable, and we may enter the top ten in the revenue list in December, so we plan to release a new version on Halloween this month, and a Christmas version on Christmas. , by the way, do some activities to bring up the momentum.”

Yang Huan nodded, "Calm down, I finally got to the top of the free list, so I can't fall off easily."

This kind of ranking itself is the strongest and most powerful advertising promotion.

"In terms of revenue, you don't need to think about it for the time being. You should increase your efforts to develop users and retain users."

Zhu Liangcheng also thought so, "We now have around 5 million daily active users, which is amazing."

This is why those authoritative media and websites are so optimistic about this game,

The retention rate is amazing.

For a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, the retention rate often represents huge revenue.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the new Christmas version of WeChat?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

In this new version, Yang Huan decided to add an innovative feature to WeChat, which is to check nearby people.

In Yang Huan's view, this is undoubtedly a very interesting feature, because everyone has the desire to spy, and even when you understand that you are spying on others, others are also spying on you. That feeling is very wonderful.

Therefore, he has high hopes for this feature, hoping to increase the number of users again.

"It's almost the same, and I just contacted Miss Zhang, and it may be updated in Asia at that time."

Speaking of which, WeChat has been updated very diligently. In less than three months, several versions have been updated.

And what's even more rare is that every update can always introduce some fresh features.

There is no doubt that these functions come from Yang Huan's head.

"Okay, you can take care of these things."

Yang Huan doesn't like to get involved in this kind of thing. It's like that Andres Ihahn, who came to door-to-door sales and made gift cards before, Yang Huan gave him money, gave him a place to work, and then left him alone. .

So far I don't know how to do it.

"I'll go to the game team to see, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, especially Sun Yue, just say I'm in retreat!"

Yang Huan knew that Aston Martin would definitely come to the door. They would definitely lose this lawsuit. If they didn't want to lose face, it would be best to come to the door to apologize and seek reconciliation.

There are also Sunseeker yachts, which may also come to the door.

However, he didn't plan to meet them until the information from Cash Harris came out.

Ulrich Bates is very respected in the automotive field, because he has held important positions in Ferrari, Ford and other companies successively. He is also the first technical director of BMW, and has designed a number of classic models for BMW.

More importantly, he is not just the CEO of Aston Martin, he is also a scholar with high academic attainments, a writer and subject researcher for more than 40 authoritative scientific publications.

But such a respected automotive expert now has to deal with the mess of Aston Martin.

Even, in order to avoid a lawsuit that was enough to make Aston Martin lose face, he had to apologize in a low voice.

The problem is, they don't even show you face to face.

"Mr. Bates."

When Sun Yue walked into the reception room, Ulrich Bates, a gray-haired Mediterranean old man, was staring blankly ahead, wondering what was going on in his mind.

After hearing Sun Yue's call, Ulrich Bates suddenly woke up and stood up, "Mr. Sun, is there any news?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bates, I just called, and Mr. Yang's assistant said that after returning to Southampton from Poole the day before yesterday, Mr. Yang went to one of our Internet companies to deal with some emergencies, and has been busy for the past two days. "

Having said this, Sun Yue looked apologetic and explained: "Our Mr. Yang is not just the boss, in fact, he is also a very creative and thoughtful engineer. You should know us, WeChat and that game are Mr. Yang. idea."

He was a good car guy, and he had a lot of respect for Ulrich Bates, and couldn't say anything cold to him.

Ulrich Bates is also mentally prepared, "Then I don't know when I can see him?"

"I can't guarantee this." Sun Yue said apologetically.

Seeing that Ulrich Bates was a little disappointed, Sun Yue remembered Yang Huan's explanation before, and added, "Maybe tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang is a die-hard fan. Tomorrow at this St. Mary's Stadium, we will face Brighton, the most powerful opponent of the season in Southampton. Mr. Yang will definitely be there. He will never miss it. Any Southampton game."

It turned out that he was still such an avid football fan!

Ulrich Bates was born in Germany, a country that almost regards football as a belief, so he is also a football lover himself. He learned about Yang Huan's interest, and he can be regarded as a gain.

"I heard that Manuel Neuer, the national goalkeeper of our German national team, is in your team." Ulrich Bates was relieved a lot. Since he can meet tomorrow, he will not be in a hurry.

"Yes, Mr. Bates, perhaps we can arrange for you to meet him tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll definitely come!" Ulrich Bates showed his first smile in days.

It's just that my heart is still full of apprehension. I don't know if I will meet the wealthy Chinese eldest young master tomorrow, can we negotiate?

England's South Coast, Poole.

Robert Brycewhite finally persuaded the Bank of the City of London, who agreed to delay the repayment period again.

But only give him three days.

He must make a final decision within three days, otherwise...

After hanging up the phone, Bryce White sighed deeply.

He has worked hard for more than 30 years, and he really did not expect that he would come to this day.

He once thought that, as the world's top yacht brand, they could stand on the ocean of this blue planet for a long time, but a financial tsunami hit and all his beautiful fantasies vanished.

He could see it all clearly now.

In the final analysis, the world famous brand, the Rolls-Royce at sea, in the final analysis, are all capital operations.

"How is it?" Stillwald McEntire asked quickly.

He has also worked in this company for 30 years, has feelings, and does not want to see this company go bankrupt.

Unlike Bryce White, he is more motivated by the interests of the company, while Bryce White also considers his own interests.

"Three days, we only have three days left." Bryce White looked helpless.

McEntire can't do anything either. He has tens of thousands of pounds, but he doesn't have millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

"Perhaps, we should talk to the Irish again," suggested McEntire.

It was the buyer who had been talking to Sunsee for the longest time and had the most sincerity.

But they are private equity. After the acquisition, they must do everything possible to improve the company's performance, and then sell it to earn the difference in the middle.

"Stewold, do you really think it's appropriate to sell to those Irishmen?" Brycewhite asked with concern.

McEntire smiled wryly, "We don't have a choice, do we?"

"That Chinese..."

"He's certainly better than private equity, but we don't know how strong his willingness to buy it is, and we're definitely going to have to make big concessions on price."

This will definitely harm the interests of the Blyth White family, after all, the yacht company is their family business.

Bryce White stood up and walked to the window of the office. Looking out from the window, the opposite was the backwater channel of Lake Upton. The row of buildings on the shore was the shipbuilding workshop of Sunseeker Yachting Company. Every bit is filled with the affection and hard work of the two brothers over the past three decades.

"The times are different, we are all old, and we are too old to keep up with the times!"

Bryce White was full of sighs, which resonated with McEntire.

They are about the same age and have fought side by side for over thirty years.

"Come with me to Southampton tomorrow!" Bryce White gritted his teeth and made a decision.
