Chapter 111: 1 Stone 3 Birds

"Activation code?"

"Software activation code?"

Activation codes are not unique to online games.

The earliest activation codes were set for genuine software.

Generally, the genuine software is purchased and installed, and then there is an activation code on it.

Fill in the activation code, you can pass the verification of the genuine software, and then use the software normally.

If you do not have this activation code, then you cannot use this software.

This setting is to prevent piracy.

Unfortunately, even with an activation code, piracy has not been prevented, and the activation code without the activation code is no longer useful for genuine software.

Of course, in addition to software activation codes, there are also game activation codes.

However, this game activation code is generally a stand-alone game.

Players who buy a stand-alone game and install it at home need an activation code to activate it.

This activation code is equivalent to a key. Without this key, you cannot enter the door.

The principle is the same as that of genuine software, and the activation code is also to prevent piracy.

However, when the activation code is used in online games, some people don't know what it means?

"Mr. Chen, don't you need more people to play online games, the better? Using the activation code will probably prevent most players from entering."

Zhang Jianming was very puzzled.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, Zhu Jun means that the more people you want to play, the better. As soon as the activation code comes out, I am afraid some people want to play, but they can't get the activation code, so they can't enter the game. Once they can't enter the game. Games, how can we guarantee that 30,000 people are online at the same time?"

Xie Zhang also had some confusion about what Chen Yu meant.

Li Nan wanted to ask, but the two had already asked, so he didn't say anything.

But even if he didn't say it, Li Nan was full of doubts.

He didn't understand, why did Mr. Chen come up with this activation code?

Isn't it to attract people, and now it's the other way around?

"It seems that everyone has a limited understanding of activation codes."

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Of course, the activation code was originally used for genuine users, and he put an end to pirated users. Without the activation code, players cannot use the software or play games. Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. It restricts players and cannot be used by everyone on a large scale. However, why don’t you think about it from a different angle. Rare is expensive. When something is very rare but extremely popular, the more you can’t get it, the more convenient you will be. Want it. And the more you want it, the more exciting it is.”

"Mr. Chen, you're saying that we will hype up Miracle Mu first, and then launch the Miracle Mu activation code. In order to get the Miracle Mu activation code, everyone will definitely spend countless efforts and costs to get the activation code. In the process of obtaining the activation code, He himself stimulated the popularity of miracles? By repeating this, we can promote miracles to the peak."

Xie Zhang organized a speech and said.

"bingo."

Chen Yu nodded: "That's it. It is quite difficult to make Miracle's internal beta test more than 30,000 people online at the same time. With ordinary promotion methods, it is almost impossible. However, if we use an activation code, we can The impossible becomes possible.”

This said, everyone suddenly realized.

At the same time, everyone became very interested in this activation code.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, how do we issue this activation code?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Jianming asked, "Are we selling activation codes?"

Xie Zhang hurriedly said: "Haha, if we sell the activation code, we can also make a lot of money."

"What to sell, we don't like this little money."

Chen Yu was speechless.

Why did these guys think of selling activation codes all of a sudden?

This is not selling software, selling stand-alone games, this is an online game.

"It's definitely not going to sell.

"

Chen Yu shook his head.

He doesn't know if other game companies sell activation codes, but he won't.

"Since we don't sell it, why don't we just distribute it like this? I don't think it will work. Players get it too easily, and they won't cherish it."

Zhang Jianming was a little confused.

Just came up with such a good idea, but encountered a problem.

"It's very simple, we can issue two activation codes, and one will be distributed to the guilds that have entered our platform. As for the number of distributions, they will be distributed evenly in proportion to the tasks the guild does. If they want more activation codes, they have to Complete more tasks and carry out more promotion. The other one, we leave it as a platform activity, so that those players who have not joined the guild can also have the opportunity to obtain the activation code.”

As soon as this plan came out, everyone applauded.

"Mr. Chen, this plan can not only expand our 5173's reputation, but also further strengthen our cooperation with major domestic guilds."

"Yeah, it turns out that those guilds are only fighting for honor. However, the number of places in the top 100 guilds is limited, and some guilds who fail to enter the top 100 guilds do not have much motivation. But if you join this activation code, in order to obtain the activation code, These guilds will also firmly cooperate with our platform.”

"Haha, in this way, even if Sohu is overwhelmingly pressing, we don't have to worry."

Once the activation code is issued, it can be said to be three birds with one stone, with many benefits. However, Chen Yu still specially warned: "We can use this activation code plan once, and Sohu and others will use it too. Therefore, in addition to our cooperation with Zhu Jun this time, we must immediately cooperate with other major games that are ready to go on sale. Manufacturers sign exclusive contracts.”

What is an exclusive contract?

After cooperating with 5173, it cannot cooperate with any other competitors.

In this way, once Sohu found the movement, it was too late for them to get the activation code.

"Mr. Chen, I'll do this right away."

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. Let's all go to work."

Chen Yu announced the dismissal of the meeting.

Zhang Jianming is busy contacting major game manufacturers.

Li Nan is formulating the activation code rules.

Xie Zhang improved the promotion plan again.

Orderly, each division of labor.

As for Zhu Jun, when he went back, he was still thinking about what method 5173 would use to promote their miracles.

The internal test broke 30,000. To be honest, Zhu Jun really didn't have much confidence.

However, when Chen Yu communicated the activation code plan with Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun suddenly became extremely excited.

He was a businessman himself.

He has long known what a rare commodity is.

If the activation code is a rarity, it will definitely explode in the field of online games.

Even if they don't need to operate in the future, countless players will go crazy for the activation code.

"I thought that kid, like me, is a master of pretending. I didn't expect that he has some skills."

"It seems that 10 million is not wrong. No, I will pay 3 million first."

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun also thought of what Chen Yu said a few days ago, let them pay the rest slowly.

This confidence, I think this guy has long been full of chest.

I'm not afraid that you won't pay it back. When you make money, you will naturally deliver the money to your door.

Even, you will strengthen and continue to cooperate with them.

"Hehe, good boy, we will deal with each other in the future."

Zhu Jun smiled, and was in a good mood for a while.

In his heart, he was vaguely thinking of challenging Shanda and having a long-term relationship with Chen Tianqiao.

However, Zhu Jun suppressed this thought for the time being.

It is still early to challenge Chen Tianqiao, and the first thing they have to do now is to make preparations for this internal test.

It's just that the activation code scheme has been prepared on this side.

Sohu, who had been beaten by 5173 before, was still thinking about 5173's guild system.
