"Mr. Lu, let me sum it up, there are three things in total!" Liang Song said.
"First, there is a lack of money. If you want to be a good online game accelerator, you must have complete hardware equipment, which is a lot of money. And then the broadband costs that need to be invested are even more expensive."
"Second, the computer room. Currently, Hongxin only has a computer room for running games. The online game accelerator needs to have its own independent computer room, which is a server."
"Third, the market forecast is not optimistic. The current domestic network situation has improved a lot compared to previous years, and the number of users demanding online game accelerators is decreasing. In addition, in addition to Xunyou and other paid accelerators seizing the market, major companies have launched their own free online games Compared with accelerators, we have no core competitiveness.”
Lu Zixin nodded and said, "That's a good summary. I'll give you three answers."
"For funding issues, just list your expenses and make a budget. I'll review it and get financial approval."
"Don't worry about the computer room. I've already bought it and it will arrive in a few days."
"Third, market investment should be done as hard as possible and strive to be the best."
Liang Song nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He was afraid that Lu Zixin was impulsive and wanted to do a project, but was unwilling to invest and was afraid of losing money. Now it seems that Mr. Lu has already made plans.
Lu Zixin's plan was to reinvest Hongxin's recent profits. In fact, this approach is very dangerous. If a company does not have enough liquidity on its books, if an accident occurs and the capital chain is broken, it is likely to go bankrupt.
But Lu Zixin is not afraid. He believes that with the ability of the Red Queen, the products he makes can definitely hit the market!
In the following days, Hongxin Game Company entered a tense and busy state again.
A week later, the official website and mobile game client of "Wild God of War" issued an announcement: The PC game of "Wild God of War" will start a closed beta at 12:00 tomorrow, and players with internal beta qualifications can go in and experience it.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused cheers from loyal fans of "Wild Gods".
There are constant messages on the official website.
"Great, "Wild Gods" is finally released on PC. I've been waiting for a long time!"
"I've been waiting for the PC version for a long time. Only computers can embody technology - although the mobile game is also very fun!"
"Free or paid?"
"How can I qualify for the closed beta test? @"Wild God of War" official account."
“I hope it’s more fun than PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. I’m tired of playing that one!”
…
Not only netizens, but major game companies have also noticed this news.
Hongxin Games’ entry into PC online games means that competition in this market will increase again!
Shanda Games, the company's top management has issued an order to closely focus on the PC version of "Wild God of War". As soon as the internal beta opens tomorrow, the game experience, market evaluation and other aspects will be summarized.
Perfect Games is one of the top five gaming companies in the country, especially in PC online games, so they are naturally prepared to keep an eye on Hongxin Games’ actions tomorrow.
Sanqi, Giant, Youzu...
The ones that are most concerned about are Net One Games and Penguin Games. After all, they are the dominant players in this field.
As a latecomer, Hongxin Games defeated them in the mobile game chicken game. Now that Hongxin Games is making computer online games, they naturally feel the pressure.
NetOne Games just launched the PC version of "Knives Out" not long ago. However, this so-called PC version is actually a combination of mobile games and emulators. It is crudely produced and is much worse than "PUBG: Battle Royale". Players do not rate it highly. .
Penguin Games has won the agency rights for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The mobile game has been released, and the PC version will be launched soon. Now Hongxin Games’ move is obviously to compete with them!
Therefore, both game companies have held special meetings to study this matter and strive to respond as quickly as possible.
The next day at noon, twelve o'clock sharp.
Some loyal players of "Wild God of War" are already waiting in front of their computers, and as soon as the link to the internal test server comes out, they will quickly download and try it out.
Zhang Wei is one of them, and today is a day off. He didn't wake up until 11 o'clock in the afternoon. After playing ink on his mobile phone until 12 o'clock, he quickly got up and downloaded the PC version of "Wild God of War".
"Here, the resource package is so big? Not enough memory?" Zhang Wei clicked to download, and the computer prompted that there was insufficient disk space.
"The bigger the resource package is, the more sophisticated the production is." Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and heartbrokenly deleted more than a dozen short movies he had downloaded to free up memory.
He was playing with his phone and waiting. After finally downloading and installing it, he entered his internal beta account and quickly went in to experience it.
The initial experience was good, Zhang Wei said excitedly: "It's still better than "Wild God of War", this operation is much more comfortable, and the degree of freedom is super high!"
But after playing for a while, he found that there was a lag, and the computer host seemed to be relatively hot.
"What the hell? Is it a BUG?" Zhang Wei quickly went online to ask.
He found customer service on the official website and asked why.
Customer service said: "Your situation is caused by the mismatch between the computer configuration and the game. The reference computer configuration is as follows..."
When Zhang Wei saw it, he immediately cursed: "Damn it, can you play with such a high configuration? My computer can't even carry it!"
"Are you forcing me to go to an Internet cafe?"
In a small Internet cafe, several middle school students also encountered such a thing.
"Network administrator, why can't I play this game?" a student shouted.
"Restart!"
"It's not a matter of restarting!" He emphasized, "The game I just downloaded cannot be played on the machine!"
The network administrator is a young man with a crew cut in his twenties, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and came over to tinker with it a few times. Said: "No, we can't move this Internet cafe."
"What should I do? I finally got the qualification for the closed beta."
"Go to the Hailan Internet Cafe over there. They have good machines."
"Network administrator, aren't you afraid of being expelled?" asked the student next to him.
"What the hell, are you adults? You don't even have an ID card, why are you surfing the Internet here?" the network administrator scolded.
Similar problems continue to appear, and netizens have complained online.
"@《野神》Official account, does the PC version have too high configuration requirements? My computer can play most games, but yours can’t!"
"I had to switch to two Internet cafes today to play! But having said that, the production is still awesome!"
"How do you play this evil game? I'd better wait for Penguin's online chicken game!"
“@《野神》Official account, I’ll wipe it, you’ll pay for my computer! I played for two hours and the CPU burned out!”
"It's a rubbish game. I downloaded it at 12 o'clock and haven't downloaded it yet. Your internet speed is too rubbish!"
"Is the person upstairs mentally retarded? Isn't it because your internet speed is not good enough?"
In the face of a series of complaints and suggestions, the official account issued a new announcement.
"The PC version of "Wild God of War" has higher computer configuration requirements. The recommended configuration is as follows... "
"For players who are temporarily unable to operate normally, please wait for a few days. We will soon launch the corresponding game accelerator, which will solve the player's problem."
"Players, please don't worry, this is just a closed beta test. It will be optimized when the server is officially launched, and it will definitely satisfy everyone!"
This time it's just a closed beta, so it won't have a big impact on players. But in the gaming industry, every company saw the performance of the PC version of "Wild Gods" and breathed a sigh of relief.
PS: For students who have a book list, can you add it? grateful!
