Chapter 813 Spoiler

We start a company not to make money, but to change the world and human life. Making money is just incidental. ——This sentence was leaked online by someone unknown, and it attracted unanimous praise from netizens.

They all call it a conscientious company.

Naturally, this also aroused the disdain of several major enemies.

Make money, make money, why are you so elegant? The three major portal websites are secretly disdainful.

Why would you start a company if you don't make money? If you're not making money, why are you charging for props? Isn't this just to make money? What nonsense are you talking about here!

"How's Ultima Online going?" Ding Sanshi asked.

Since online games can make money, and the daily income of such a hot QQ farm can exceed 100,000, then the world's first online graphic game they introduced can naturally make even more money.

"Debugging has been completed, and the final bug self-check is in progress, as well as renting servers and recruiting relevant network administrators." the technical director reported.

"What do you think about the charges?" Ding Sanshi asked.

At present, they are still discussing the issue of charging, and there has never been a very suitable charging model.

Prior to this, in the United States, the charging model for "Ultana Online" was monthly payment, which was about US$15 per month. If you have to convert this, it would be expensive. That’s almost 100 RMB a month.

Obviously, no player can afford this.

NetEase obtained the copyright of "Ultana Online" relatively cheaply, far less expensive than MSN. After all, MSN is backed by Microsoft. Although Ultima Online is backed by EA, which is also a large company, EA and Microsoft are not on the same level.

In particular, EA mainly makes stand-alone games, and EA is only trying out online games. Therefore, the terms given are very favorable, with an annual agency fee of US$1 million. In addition, 15% of the revenue belongs to EA.

Compared with Microsoft's conditions for NetEase to act as an agent for MSN, they are much more generous. Ding Sanshi spent a lot of money to get this. The annual operating fee is 10 million U.S. dollars. If NetEase cannot afford this amount of agency fees by then, then Microsoft will use its equity as compensation. The detailed equity is based on its operations. The worse the operation, the higher the equity demand. Up to 40%.

Needless to say, the conditions are so harsh. But there is no way, the other party is Microsoft. It is currently the world's largest IT company by market value, and it is also a super profitable IT company.

It can be said that Microsoft can live without MSN market, but currently NetEase really cannot live without MSN.

Ding Sanshi does not attach too much importance to MSN, because no matter how it is operated, the ownership belongs entirely to Microsoft. NetEase can never get involved. Therefore, Ding Sanshi wants to make a breakthrough in "Ultimate Generations".

Originally, we were also preparing to charge fees. After all, that's how EA operates. We certainly cannot charge a monthly fee of US$15 in China, but we can reduce the price. For example, 20 yuan a month, or 30 yuan.

They have been negotiating the exact monthly fee. Try to make most players willing to spend money to play the game.

But now, Qin Feng's QQ Farm's prop charges have opened a window for them. They may also be able to charge for props.

"I think we can combine monthly fees and prop fees!" said the marketing director. "Just like Qin Feng's QQ Farm, you can play without spending money. Spending money will just make the game more fun!"

Ding Sanshi nodded.

"Obviously our "Ultimate Online" cannot be free of charge. After all, this is a large-scale online game, not a simple game like QQ Farm that can be made by just a few college students. Therefore, a monthly fee is necessary. In this way, players can only You need to recharge the monthly fee, and you can play the game as much as you want for a month. I suggest that you can use hourly billing or monthly billing." The marketing director said, "In this way, some cash-strapped players can be free. choose."

Hourly charging and monthly charging are two models in parallel, which is undoubtedly very suitable for all kinds of players.

"In addition, we can also charge for appropriate props." The marketing director said, "Refer to Qin Feng's QQ Farm, charging for various props has brought a lot of revenue. We can also learn from them and charge for props. For example, in "Ultimate Online", various props need to be synthesized. The higher the level of the props, the lower the synthesis rate. We can sell some related synthetic materials so that players can synthesize them multiple times without having to collect them hard!"

"Then it's a question of pricing for these props." Ding Sanshi nodded.

"In terms of price, we can't learn from Qin Feng. His pricing is just causing trouble for himself. It will be difficult to increase the price in the future. Therefore, we set a higher price in advance. In my opinion, 10,000 ordinary players will not pay much attention to the game. The expenses are nothing compared to the expenses of a rich player. We use the payment system to make money from ordinary players, and use props to make money from rich players. In this way, we allow ordinary players to experience the experience by spending only a little money on game cards. Games. And let rich players spend a lot of money to get an extremely good gaming experience. Let ordinary players become stepping stones for rich players!" said the marketing director, "Games are also a world. There are naturally people in the world. I want to become famous, I want to be the best in the world!”

"Well said!" Ding Sanshi took the lead in applauding.

This time, they solved the problem that NetEase had been troubled for a long time.

"Then everything is set up like this." Ding Sanshi's eyes were full of expectation.

If online games work, then they will start creating their own online games. All this depends on the current situation.

As for Xinlang, Wang Zhidong made people work overtime to develop Xinlang's farm game. At present, since there is no better way to deal with QQ's sweeping trend in the social media market, we can only follow suit.

We have to grab some market and come back. We cannot sit still and wait for death.

As for Zhang Zhaoyang, he is still promoting his Yahoo search engine. Because of Yahoo's endorsement and the fact that Yahoo is currently the best Internet company in the world, especially its boss, who is also from Baodao and of Chinese descent.

In these days, if there is a Chinese who is so successful, he is very popular among the Chinese people.

Therefore, Zhang Zhaoyang is currently living the most nourishing life. Its search engine market was almost split in two by him.

Jiuzhou engine and Yahoo engine are currently the mainstream in the market. Of course, Kyushu Engine, with its first-hand advantage, currently occupies about 70% of the market share.

Yahoo engine accounts for about 30%.

Although it only occupies a small part of the market, Zhang Zhaoyang is satisfied at the moment. After all, compared to Xinlang and Wangyi's distress, he is undoubtedly much more nourishing.

But he didn't expect that there would be another disruptor in the search engine market.
