Rebirth of the Wild Age

At the end of this summer vacation, reports on Song Weiyang and "Legend" are overwhelming.

　　 No matter how many scolding "Legend" harm people, no matter how many scolding Song Weiyang to make money. When these scoldings appeared in the media, they were actually helping out in disguise. Many people even heard of the game "Legend" for the first time because of such negative reports.

　　 The media that has a good relationship with Song Weiyang focuses on reporting the content of his answer to reporters' questions that day. Publicizing online games has become one of South Korea’s economic pillars. China’s online game market is growing at a rate of 200% every year, but it is flooded with Japanese and Korean online game products. China should revitalize its own national online game brand. At the same time, these media also praised Song Weiyang for his sense of social responsibility and called on the country to introduce stricter regulations as soon as possible to effectively restrict minors from entering Internet cafes.

　　 The first two reports are still serious news, and the last one is a proper propaganda article: all kinds of newspapers and magazines have published articles about tofu. That is, Song Weiyang personally presented awards to the "Legend" players. The prizes for the first, second and third place were 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000, and they also received a platinum ring with diamonds.

　　 This diamond-encrusted platinum ring is not expensive, it can be bought for one or two thousand dollars on the market, but it has made countless "Legend" players jealous. For example, the following words are engraved on the championship ring: 2002. The world's first Taoist priest.

　　Excalibur Network deliberately does not engrave the game ID of the champion. In addition to being unable to predict who the champion is, it also encourages transactions between players.

　　 The first official Taoist priest, how many local tyrants are jealous.

　　 Fatty Fatty’s "No. 1 Mage in the World" ring was sold privately to a local tyrant for 300,000. The local tyrant only wears it occasionally when pretending to be forceful. It is usually stored in a cabinet and can be preserved and appreciated. Even if it is taken out 10 years later, some people are willing to take over—of course, it must not grow as fast as the house price.

　　 At the same time, Song Weiyang was still presenting the award in person, announcing that the three players had been hired as "2002-2003 "Legend" ambassadors" and handed them a 100,000 yuan endorsement fee on the spot.

　　 After this series of operations were reported, players turned over and over, and it also caused a small-scale heated discussion in the society. Anyway, I don’t understand this. I just played an online game, and I got star treatment, what ambassador, what is the endorsement fee of 100,000 yuan per year.

　　 Other game companies are paying attention. They will also engage in various activities, but they are still in the game. The planning of "Legend" made them unexpected.

　　 The effect is good!

　　 The three award-winning players quickly became "big stars", and their promotional posters were posted in Internet cafes in major cities across the country. They are not really handsome men and women, they look far inferior to movie stars, but they are grounded when they are posted in Internet cafes, and countless players admire and admire them.

　　 The operation of Excalibur Network Company was not over yet, and five more news were announced immediately:

　　First, Legend, World’s No.1 Budo Fair, held in early August every year. Next year's championship, runner-up and third-place awards will remain unchanged, but the awards ceremony will be upgraded to the Excalibur Annual Meeting, and celebrities from the two sides of the strait will also be invited to perform.

　　 Second, "Legend" has reached a cooperation with Xifeng Company, and each bottle of Very Coke has a special number. After purchasing Coca-Cola, you can log in to the official website to enter the bottle cap number, choose your game server, and you can redeem for the corresponding prizes. The winning rate is 100%, the lowest reward is 100 gold coins, and the highest reward is three professional skill books: Fire Swordsmanship, Summoning Mythical Beasts, and Ice Roar. There are also special rewards. Among the first batch of 100,000 bottles of Very Coke, only one bottle can be exchanged for three artifacts (random type).

　　 Third, "Legend" will launch official peripheral products, including rings, necklaces, clothes, weapons, etc., players can buy in major Internet cafes. Each genuine product has a unique certificate number. Next year's legendary annual meeting will randomly select 100 lucky players from these peripheral product buyers to participate, and all board and lodging and transportation expenses will be reimbursed.

　　 Fourth, the official website of Legend will set up a Hall of Fame. The first batch of people to enter the Hall of Fame are the three winners. The second batch of players entering the Hall of Fame will be the first players in each district to reach level 40. The third batch of people who are in the Hall of Fame will be the Shacheng City Lords of various districts who will wait until the winter vacation when the official events are held.

　　 Fifth, "Legend" will open the "title" function, you can get different titles by doing tasks, and Hall of Fame players also have special titles. Even if you are beaten to death by monsters 100 times in a day, you can get the title of "Sad God", which players can explore on their own. Each title has different attributes. Players with multiple titles can only wear one title at the same time.

　　 Other game companies are completely speechless, and can only admit that the planning of Excalibur Networks is very powerful.

　　 Now that many large domestic companies don’t have annual meetings, do you run out of an online game to hold annual meetings? Would you like to invite celebrities from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hong Kong to perform?

　　 What makes people even more speechless is that the sales of Very Coke have begun to skyrocket. Many Internet cafes even only sell Very Coke, and there are no other Coke products for customers to choose from. The only special reward for the three artifacts will make players eagerly rush, maybe they will win it? Anyway, if you can still drink Coke if you spend money, it's a free lottery, and winning the Dragon Sword is worth hundreds of thousands!

　　 So this phenomenon often occurs. After a player walks into an Internet cafe, he slaps the money on the counter: "Webmaster, five hours on the machine, and give me a bottle of very coke!"

　　 The network manager turned on the machine with a smile, and handed over a bottle of Coke.

　　 Players immediately log in to the official website of the legend, enter the number in the bottle cap, and all the players next to it come to watch the draw.

　　 "Oh, it's 100 gold coins again, so bad luck!" This is the most common situation.

　　 But every Internet cafe will have a similar legend: "A certain idiot bought a bottle of Coke in a certain month, and he actually issued a ruling!"

There is also this superstitious saying in Internet cafes: "The draw must go to the 8th machine to ensure that good things are produced." So, the customers who play the 8th machine are so annoying that the boss simply does not use it for business. It is a lucky machine to draw prizes there, and even players who are far away come here.

　　 After the summer, it is time to enter the off-season for beverages, but the monthly sales of very cola are actually only 20% lower than during the summer. A small prize-winning sales event directly brought Xifeng a profit of hundreds of millions of yuan, and Coke quickly dominated the national Internet cafe market.

　　 It is a pity that game peripheral products are not selling well. In the era when e-commerce is not popular, they can only be sold through Internet cafes.

　　 The vast majority of Internet cafes sell knockoff products, and even make authentic certificates look like they are. When the lucky audience was drawn for the Legendary Annual Conference next year, a certain winning number suddenly attracted more than 800 players, which drove the staff all at once-the counterfeit manufacturer scratched the certificate code area and used this code to forge the certificate, and a large number of counterfeit with the same number Peripheral products.

　　The reason for this situation is nothing more than super high profits.

　　 Ordinary stainless steel rings are priced from 10 yuan to 100 yuan just because they are made into game equipment.

　　……

　　Rongcheng, a restaurant.

　　Shi Yuzhu shook the red wine glass and exclaimed: "The planning of "Legend" is really good. Excalibur Networks has masters."

　　 "Where and where, when it comes to business planning, who in the country is better than melatonin?" Song Weiyang said modestly.

　　 Shi Yuzhu smiled and said, "If Boss Song likes melatonin, I can even package the brand with the factory and sell it to you. Anyway, I have decided to stop."

　　 Song Weiyang said: "Just take it when you see it, smart."

　　 It is no news that Shi Yuzhu intends to sell melatonin. He sold a branch last year. At the beginning of the year, he also exposed the news of the entire transfer. He is currently sitting on the floor and starting negotiations with a number of companies.

　　 As for the series of plans for "Legend", more than 80% of the content came from Song Weiyang.

　　 It's not that the planning department of Excalibur Networks is too rubbish, but that they are limited by the limitations of the times, and many things simply don't think that way. Who knew that online games could also hold annual meetings? Song Weiyang not only proposed to make the awards ceremony for next summer vacation directly into the annual meeting situation, but also invited many celebrities to broadcast on Phoenix TV.

　　 There are also the rules of this "Legend" competition, which are completely different from the original time-space "Grand Legend: The World's First Battle".

　　 Song Weiyang used the chicken-eating mode whimsically, threw more than 20,000 contestants into the competition uniform, let them fight monsters and upgrade their equipment by themselves, and finally decided the winner through a big scuffle in the finals. It's a pity that the existing technology cannot be used to broadcast games (on the Internet). Otherwise, with the popularity of "Legend", the live broadcast ratings will definitely burst.

　　 The little guys in the Excalibur Network Company have worshipped Song Weiyang so much, and they couldn't think of these tricks even if they broke their heads.

　　 Shi Yuzhu tasted the red wine and said: "Boss Song, can you slightly change the data and blast me the first Dragon Sword in the whole server? Just treat me as owing you a little favor."

　　 "You won't leave after the awards are over, and you specially invited me to dinner because of this?" Song Weiyang couldn't help but laugh.

　　 Shi Yuzhu said: "It is because of the face of Doudou Girl, I am her master anyway."

　　 Song Weiyang said: "Don't you know? Counting you, Doudou has worshipped seven masters on the Internet~www.wuxiamtl.com~seven?" Shi Yuzhu was speechless for a moment.

　　 Song Weiyang smiled and said: "Yes, Doudou said that if you don't need money anyway, then you can worship a few more easily. One day, if you gather seven masters at the same time, you may be able to summon the dragon."

　　 "Your niece is a little slippery," Shi Yuzhu couldn't help laughing or crying. After chatting a few more words, he couldn't help asking, "Legend can make a lot of money? Can you tell me the numbers?"

　　 Song Weiyang said: "1.5 million."

　　 "One month?" Shi Yuzhu said in a daze, "It's less than 20 million a year. It's impossible to have this point. Are you talking about net profit after tax?"

　　 Song Weiyang corrected: "It's a day's point card income."

　　 Shi Yuzhu was stunned, and said in a daze: "Nice!"

　　 During the Spring Festival this year, melatonin was the hottest time, when the daily income exceeded 3 million (gross profit). In this way, 1.5 million a day is nothing to Shi Yuzhu, but "Legend" is an online game, the profit is too high, and the number of players in "Legend" is still increasing. If this continues, wouldn’t there be two or three every day? Millions in money?

　　 In fact, after a series of previous operations, coupled with public opinion propaganda, "Legend"'s daily point card revenue exceeded 2 million yuan in October.

　　 Shi Yuzhu suddenly smiled and said, "I want to play games."
