Chapter 218
To the surprise of Li Feng and others, the official announcement of CC Software and CrossFire actually led to an increase in the number of registrations for Dungeon.
In just one day, Dungeon had more than 10 million registered users, and nearly half of them left the Novice Village.
It can be seen that the game Dungeon is really well-made and very playable.
Once you get into the pit, relatively few people can jump out.
However, some are happy and some are sad.
At this time, the headquarters of Tengsheng Group has become a mess.
"Everyone, this is the most severe challenge our company has encountered since its establishment!"
"After we get through it, we will go further and no one can shake our position as the number one game in Daxia."
"If we can't get through it, I won't have a good time, and I'm afraid your fate will not be good either."
In the conference room of Tengsheng Group headquarters, a man with gold-rimmed glasses and a big back hair sat at the main seat of the conference table with a serious face.
This man is the chairman of Tengsheng Group, the founder and the largest individual shareholder, Ma Yueshan.
"Mr. Ma, I think we don't need to worry too much. Ning Chen's free instant messaging software is definitely self-destructive!"
A middle-aged man with a mustache and a slightly fat body said:
"Free instant messaging software? How does Ning Chen make money? This is not a game that allows people to buy paid props!"
"The number of registered users has increased, but the software cannot make a profit. In the end, it faces huge operating costs."
"I'm afraid that the money earned by Dungeon will have to be used to fill the hole created by this software."
After the fat man finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement.
Games can sell paid props to make profits, but your instant messaging software doesn't have such a function, right?
You can't say that the chat software is free to log in, but you have to charge a lot of money to send a message, right?
If that's the case, why would people use your software?
Isn't it better to send text messages directly?
"Kangping, what do you think about this?" Ma Yueshan ignored these people and set his eyes on Zhao Kangping who was sitting in the corner.
Although Zhao Kangping's previous game Dungeon Three Kingdoms failed, the company's loss was not that much.
He was the only one in Tengsheng Group who had played against Ningchen Games, so he must have some experience.
"Ah?"
Zhao Kangping didn't expect to be named by the chairman in such an important occasion.
He was only a department leader in Tengsheng Group, and in such a large group, he could only be a small leader.
Even when he came to the meeting, he sat in the corner.
Unexpectedly, even in such an inconspicuous position, he would be remembered by the chairman and named to answer questions.
However, since the chairman named him, he must stand up and express his opinion.
After all, this is an opportunity to show his face.
Taking this opportunity, he must show himself well.
"Mr. Ma, based on my understanding of Ning Chen, the CC instant messaging software they are about to launch will definitely have a way to make a profit."
"It's just that we don't know how to make a profit yet."
"But the other party must have a way, just like we thought free games couldn't make a profit at the beginning."
"This company has a lot of ideas, we must pay attention to it!"
Zhao Kangping proposed a completely different idea from the previous senior executives.
In his opinion, since Ning Chen Games dared to make free instant messaging software, there must be a charging channel.
The boss of Ning Chen Games is not a fool, and a fool would not have the idea of charging props for free games.
Since they can come up with such a wonderful idea of charging props, it should be a simple thing to make other charging props to maintain the operation of CC software, right?
After Zhao Kangping finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.
Although Zhao Kangping is just a small figure, everyone thinks that what he said is problematic.
In fact, they have all thought of this problem.
It's just that they don't want to admit it.
Ning Chen's rise is already a foregone conclusion.
Ma Yueshan's expression at this moment seemed very calm, and one could not tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy.
However, only he knew how turbulent his heart was at this moment.
"Kang Ping, do you have any good coping methods?"
"Instant messaging software is the foundation of all our games."
"If it is suppressed like this, I am afraid that the next person will take our games as a target."
At this point, Ma Yueshan's brows also frowned.
Almost all of Tengsheng Group's games are paid games.game.
Although they also began to explore free games because of the emergence of Dungeon.
However, the free games that came out later were old-fashioned, and Dungeon also registered various patents and copyrights, so they had no way to make similar games.
Dungeon and Three Kingdoms have also been forced to be removed from the shelves due to patents, copyrights and poor user experience.
Once free games are popular, their games of Tengsheng Group will definitely suffer a catastrophe.
I am afraid that the only ones that can remain at that time are the most popular paid games.
Ma Yueshan is still very familiar with the nature of his own games.
There are too many junk games.
There are only a few real boutiques.
Moreover, these boutiques are a bit far away.
Relying on these boutiques, the company will definitely not last long.
"My idea?"
Zhao Kangping pondered for a while and did not answer immediately.
This time may be his chance to turn things around, and any questions and answers must be cautious.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Kangping slowly spoke:
"Mr. Ma, I think we should wait and see how this CC software actually operates."
"At the same time, we must also be prepared to make our Tengsheng chat software free."
"In this way, we can at least retain the existing 700 million users!"
Hiss!
Hearing this, everyone in the audience took a breath of cold air.
Tengsheng chat becomes free software?
Once this software is free, the first thing they have to face is the huge operating costs.
700 million daily active users, this is very terrifying.
The daily operating costs are an astronomical figure.
This approach is no different from exhausting the pond to catch fish.
However, Ma Yueshan nodded seriously.
"Well, Kang Ping, I think what you said makes sense!"
"Let's see what Ning Chen will do first!"
"As for the CrossFire game, it may not be popular."
"It seems unlikely that a game company can produce two games that can be popular all over the world!"
Not to mention a small company like Ning Chen, even Tengsheng Group can't make two well-made games in a row.
Just like a big star in the entertainment industry.
Every time you shoot a classic drama, you have to reward yourself with a rubbish domineering CEO drama.
The same is true for game companies.
If there is an excellent game first, the later ones are likely to be lousy.
