Five million hot searches continue to ferment.
As more and more people are attracted by the five million prize, the topic has spread from the gaming circle to places outside the gaming circle.
Especially the financial world.
In the past two years, Internet-related concepts have been at the forefront. Coupled with the magical legends of Yunmeng Group in the investment field, Hao Yun's every move has attracted the attention of many practitioners in the financial industry.
"...Isn't this Hao Yun working on a brain-computer interface? Why is he working on e-sports again?"
Jiang'an Capital Building.
Sitting in the office, browsing the web, and watching Hao Yun's press conference from beginning to end, Ding Shihui couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Although Yunmeng Games itself is a game maker, and holding game competitions cannot be considered as dereliction of duty, as an investor in Yunmeng Technology, he still hopes that Hao Yun can focus more on Yunmeng Technology.
Especially since he really couldn't see what the operation was.
Are the tickets free? No money to participate
So what makes money
Are you waiting for the sponsor to cover all expenses
How could a fool like that pay for such a game!
Just as he was thinking this, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller and saw that it was Hao Yun. A strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always had a premonition that he was being taken advantage of.
But no matter what, this is a call from a partner after all.
After much hesitation, he pressed the button.
"Hello?"
"it's me."
There was a cheerful voice on the other end of the phone, sounding like he was in a good mood.
After saying hello, Hao Yun continued in a casual tone.
"What has Mr. Ding been busy with recently?"
Not sure what idea this guy had in mind, Ding Shihui coughed slightly and said deliberately pretending to be stupid.
"What else can I be busy with? Apart from waiting for your good news, I have nothing else to do. Speaking of which, how is the research on brain-computer interfaces going? Is there any news?"
"Not so fast. I will definitely inform you of any new developments as soon as possible. Let's not talk about it for now. I called you today because I actually have something to trouble you with."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hao really didn't beat around the bush and told the matter straight to the point.
But that’s fine too.
At least it saves everyone's time.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Ding Shihui straightened his expression and spoke in a non-negotiable tone.
"Forget it if it's that Warcraft game. I can't invest in something I don't understand. As a manager, I have to be responsible for the customers who trust me and put their money with me."
Ding Shihui originally thought that Mr. Hao would be somewhat disappointed after hearing these words.
However, what he didn't expect was that the voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound even remotely depressed.
It's as if Good Luck had no intention of asking for their investment in the first place.
"No, no, you misunderstood. I don't need investment, but I want to ask you if you have any clients you are familiar with who happen to have advertising needs. If so, can you recommend them to me?"
Hearing this unexpected answer, Ding Shihui was slightly startled and asked alertly.
"What do you want to do?"
"What else can you do to solicit sponsorship?"
Pull sponsorship
Is this guy hoping to fill the big hole left by e-sports through sponsors
It sounded almost like a dream.
"...I can introduce clients, but I can't guarantee that things will work, let alone give you any guarantee."
"To be honest... Although I believe in your ability, I don't understand your business model. The sales volume of Warcraft so far is only two million, which is less than half of the Seven Kingdoms of Da Mi Entertainment, even one-tenth Players will pay attention to the game, and there are only 200,000 traffic."
"Even if one traffic is 10 yuan... the valuation I can give you is only 2 million. In fact, the unit price you can get may be only 5 yuan, or even 3 yuan lower."
After listening to Ding Shihui's persuasion, Hao Yun's expression did not change at all. He just smiled confidently and continued.
"I won't bother you to worry about this. I will discuss the specific details of cooperation with the customer."
"...Okay, but I still hope you can focus more on our common cause."
It was obvious that Mr. Hao did not listen to his persuasion.
With a helpless expression, Ding Shihui leaned back on the office chair and relaxed his tone.
"I will post your business card on WeChat soon... But if you think optimistically, there are actually quite a few people who are interested in you. Someone asked me for help a long time ago and wants to get to know you."
"I told you earlier, I'm worried that I don't have many connections."
"Do you still lack connections? Mr. Lin... forget it," Ding Shihui smiled and shook his head. He just thought he was there in Versailles. He cleared his throat and continued, "Let's leave it as it is. I will introduce me to you. Some big clients.”
"Whether you can do it or not depends on you."
…
Three days have passed since this press conference ended.
Hao Yun, who got the contact information from Ding Shihui, has not yet contacted the names on the list, but the sales of Warcraft have already increased a lot.
So far, the sales volume of "Warcraft" has reached 4 million copies, which is only 1 million away from the 5 million copies of "Seven Kingdoms".
Considering that Warcraft is not available on the Dianqu platform, it is quite amazing to be able to obtain such data.
In particular, the sales growth rate of the former continues to increase, while the latter has begun to show decline after the initial period of explosive growth, whether it is the number of players online at the same time, or the topicality and search index on the Internet. Almost all data are falling off a cliff.
If the current trend continues, if the Seven Kingdoms no longer want to come up with a response strategy, it seems that it will only be a matter of time before Warcraft overtakes them.
In the office.
Looking at the report written by his subordinates, Xu Qianshi squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with a frown.
"What exactly is Yunmeng Group planning to do?"
Wu Jianhua, who was standing in front of his desk, was silent for a long time and then spoke.
“Maybe it’s intended to be marketed this way.”
Xu Qianshi said nothing and leaned on the office chair to think for a while.
About 5 minutes passed before he suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"How about... we also hold a competition?"
Hearing Mr. Xu's words, Wu Jianhua shook his head.
"Honestly, I don't think it means much."
"Why?" Xu Qianshi asked.
"The main reason for their sales growth is not because of the competition, but because the players who want them to hold competitions and the Kol in the player group are using their influence to help them promote them."
"If we want to get more popularity than them, the amount of the bonus must be at least double theirs."
"And using the same publicity routine, the effect the second time will never be as good as the first time. If we have this budget, we can use other methods to obtain higher exposure effects."
Xu Qianshi frowned.
"That means... we can't go this way?"
Wu Jianhua nodded and said.
"That's the theory."
Regarding Yunmeng Games’ decision to hold the “War Cry Cup”, his judgment is still more inclined to this being a marketing event.
That is, the competition and prize money are just a gimmick, and they don't really intend to put too much energy into this competition.
What’s the point of trying to please players who have already paid
They can't refund the money anyway.
Even if we take 10,000 steps back, if Yunmeng Games actually manages this competition and actually pays out the bonuses, the investment and the rewards will definitely be out of proportion.
