"Why, I am unconvinced. If I can grasp Zhang Tianxing's weakness, am I not allowed to act?" Chen Zhilong retorted directly, enraged by his father's words.
He was the direct son of the Chen family patriarch. He had never imagined that his father's choice would be to quell the situation when he felt wronged.
Seeing Chen Zhilong's furious expression, the Chen family patriarch showed a flicker of disappointment. His son should not be like this.
In life, failure is inevitable. If one path is blocked, find another. The living cannot be choked to death by urine. Everything requires method and strategy.
In the eyes of the Chen family patriarch, Chen Zhilong's repeated attempts to deal with Zhang Tianxing without gaining the upper hand had already violated the ancestral family motto.
"Because Legend has become a phenomenal work. If we act against Zhang Tianxing now, it will provoke dissatisfaction from many families. You can't eat a fat person in one bite. Zhang Tianxing is at the peak of his popularity, so let him enjoy a few days of happiness. Those who offend our Chen family will eventually pay the price," the Chen family patriarch said sinisterly.
His son being bullied to this extent could not be let go. However, Zhang Tianxing was currently at the center of attention, and the Chen family could not make subtle moves because the eyes of all of China were focused on the game Legend.
This could be called a phenomenal work, capable of changing the structure of social production.
It demonstrated the value of the online market, and online gaming was only one part of it. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, a saying that also applies to the market.
Legend had already won over netizens. The number of online and registered users already proved this. Legend had broken its own records multiple times.
The current record was thirty thousand concurrent online players. What did this mean? Simply put, Legend was booming. How many netizens were there in China at present, yet nearly half of them had registered for Legend.
This indicated that Legend was the will of the people. It was precisely due to this concern that the Chen family patriarch decided not to act against Zhang Tianxing at this time.
Zhang Tianxing was currently under the attention of all of China. As soon as they acted, they would surely be discovered. As the saying goes, it is difficult to make subtle moves in the center of a crowd.
...
At Tianxing Investment Company, Zhang Tianxing could not hide his inner joy. He had thought of his success, but he had never imagined he would be so successful. After all, the current results far exceeded his imagination.
Legend, which was popular in every street and alley, a passionate and unregretting youth, had left a deep impression this summer.
"Little Boss Zhang, thirty thousand concurrent online players, this number is too exaggerated. Has our Legend started charging fees?" Gao Ningning asked Zhang Tianxing with a smile. Ultimately, the current number of players was unknown how many would convert into loyal paying fans.
Only those willing to spend money on the game were true fans. No one could be sure of this conversion rate.
"We are starting to prepare to charge fees. We will implement a prepaid card system."
"Then how are we going to charge? How much per hour?"
"I feel that fifty cents per hour is about right. What do you think, Little Boss Zhang?"
Hearing everyone's voices, Zhang Tianxing came back to his senses, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Good heavens, you directly proposed fifty cents per hour. You are quite greedy. "Fifty cents per hour is a bit too much. Let's start at thirty cents per hour."
Zhang Tianxing made a final decision, setting the hourly rate for Legend at thirty cents per hour. Immediately, everyone began to discuss.
"Is this Little Boss Zhang crazy for money? Thirty cents per hour, plus internet fees. I can't afford this game."
"This is indirectly raising the entry threshold. In that case, Legend is quite greedy."
Of course, there were also voices of agreement: "Thirty cents per hour is quite acceptable. Thousand Years game charges forty cents per hour, and I think Legend is worth this price."
"If you can afford it, play it. If you can't, don't play. No one is forcing you to play."
"Only those with strength are worthy of playing this game. Besides, among so many people, wouldn't it be a great joy to become a renowned master?"
"No exaggeration, charging fees is the inevitable model for a game. It's only thirty cents per hour. I'll top up first!"
As soon as Legend announced charging fees, its popularity did not diminish but rather increased. People once again felt the charm of Legend.
The game most played in internet cafes was undoubtedly Legend. Charging fees did not stop people's progress.
Over two hundred thousand concurrent online players. At that time, Guo Jiajia was stunned. Good heavens, Little Boss Zhang was going to get rich. Now, Little Boss Zhang was earning tens of thousands per hour. Calculated this way, he would earn seven figures a day.
Damn, robbing a bank wasn't this fast. The key was that Little Boss Zhang only provided servers and employees.
Guo Jiajia was completely convinced. She had no choice but to be convinced. Over a million a day, she couldn't even imagine this speed of making money.
Internet cafes selling game point cards were making a fortune. People often saved money for a month just to buy a thirty-five yuan point card.
Those selling point cards were all smiles. Now, it was a phenomenon that no matter how many point cards they stocked, they would be sold out quickly. They could only sigh that players' purchasing power was too strong.
There had never been such a popular game before. Legend was undoubtedly the undisputed king.
Li Tianhao's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that Legend would be so popular. At first, his company felt they had made a huge profit from the three hundred thousand US dollars in agency fees for Legend.
As a result, they had underestimated Legend's ability to make money. Now, Zhang Tianxing had earned back the agency fees for Legend in just one day. What other business could lose money to this extent?
However, he could not tell the Yatuoshi company from Ouba country this data yet.
Because the database was completely controlled by Zhang Tianxing's team, they had no authority. Without solid evidence, Zhang Tianxing and his team would surely deny it.
"I never thought online games could be so profitable. If we had known online games were so easy to make money, we would have developed online games long ago. Little Boss Zhang, I am very satisfied with this speed of making money."
Zhang Tianxing shook his head. This was just the beginning. This data still had great potential for exploitation. "Actually, we can open new servers. We will open a new server in a while."
Everyone was stunned. Good heavens, it turns out Little Boss Zhang was the greediest. By constantly opening new servers, you are forcing people to constantly try new servers. Will netizens listen to you and keep trying new servers?
Seeing everyone's doubtful eyes, Zhang Tianxing smiled. "You need to believe one thing: there are new players among netizens every day. What we need to do is continuously expand our customer base. Only then can we become bigger and stronger."
