Chapter 671: Explosive World of Warcraft

  During the dinner, Zhang Weiguang was still sitting on the main seat and was able to drink, and Yang Sulan did not stop him. That night, Zhang Weiguang was helped home by Zhang Yang and his mother.
  After the doctor's examination, he said that there was no problem. After he had done the alcohol treatment, Zhang Weiguang fell asleep.
  The next morning, Zhang Yang came to the company again, but this time, the sign on the door of his office was replaced by the chairman.
   "Chairman, the public beta period of World of Warcraft in China should be over, ready to officially start operations." Li Junshenghui reported.
   Li Junsheng has always been responsible for online game operation and later maintenance. In this regard, he is also very experienced.
   "Well, let's start the operation formally. For overseas data, it seems that Allen told me yesterday, I didn't remember."
   Yesterday Zhang Yang drank too much. Fortunately, he was young, but he also had a headache in the morning.
   "World of Warcraft started public beta in the English department market at the end of September last year, and it was officially launched in November. The Russian version was publicly tested at the end of October and was also available in December."
"Chinese, Korean, German, French and Italian were publicly tested in November, and it is expected to be officially launched early next month. There are other language versions, and we are also working on the translation. one's business Patner."
   "It has been listed in English-speaking countries for more than two months. The number of registered people has exceeded 10 million, and it is still increasing rapidly. It is expected that it will exceed 30 million by the end of this year."
   "In other languages, the number of registered users is also increasing rapidly. The number of registered users, including the China Market, has exceeded 50 million. When the advertising campaign keeps up, the number of people should be more."
   "Among the registered number of people, more than 80% are willing to pay. Thanks to the maturity of this time card payment model, it is also related to our reputation of Zhiduoxing and Blizzard."
   "At present, World of Warcraft has become the largest online game in the English market with the largest number of players. In other language markets, it will soon become the first, but in the Chinese market, it is still not as legendary."
"Among the games we operate, the most affected is the miracle. According to our analysis, perhaps this time next year, the revenue of the miracle will fall steeply. In another year, if there is no new improvement, we must consider shutting down the server. Now."
   No one plays, and continuing operations is a loss. First, let the players feel that there are still so many online games, and keep a certain interest. If this is not the case, then you can only shut down the server, you can't watch the loss.
   "So legendary? Do you think it will be crushed by World of Warcraft?" Zhang Yang was worried.
   At this time in the past life, the legend has long been a private server, and World of Warcraft has almost no rivals in the Chinese market. There are some games of the national style, which were good at one time, and the operating time was not long. The only exception is Fantasy Westward Journey, which once claimed that the number of registered people exceeded 300 million.
  No one knows exactly how much money they made, but the market value of NetEase has grown year after year, and boss Ding Lei has also become a frequent visitor to the China Rich List.
But in this life, the legend has not appeared in private service, and the operation of Zhiduoxing Group is also better. The screen, equipment, skills, maps, monsters, etc. have been upgraded. It is still the hottest online game in China, and it has performed well in overseas markets. .
  Zhang Yang Ke did not want a new game to appear, which caused the old game to collapse.
   "Legends in the overseas market must compete with World of Warcraft. That is a 3D picture, which is in line with the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, and the plot design is also better. The legend is upgraded to only 2d."
   "But in the domestic market, I guarantee that the legend is still the hottest game. At least two years, other games should compete, no matter whether it is World of Warcraft or other games."
  Li Junsheng has this confidence. In the Chinese market, the legendary long-term paying players exceed 20 million. Even if it will fall in the future, the amount can be guaranteed at least half?
  World of Warcraft, the current registration number is less than 10 million, and I don’t know how many can continue to play.
   But the miracle will not work. It has been declining for the past two years. After the appearance of World of Warcraft, the representative of Western-style games will definitely change.
   Zhang Yang frowned: "In other words, in overseas markets, will World of Warcraft be the only one? In the Chinese market, will there be multi-party competition?"
"Yes. In the Chinese market, large online games are more popular besides legends and miracles, as well as dungeons and fantasy westward journeys. These two q version games have a large number of female players, which is not comparable to other games. Not even a legend."
  The screen of World of Warcraft will not be liked by many girl players. And many male players will play some games because of female players, so the number of games in the underground city and Fantasy Westward Journey has grown extremely fast.
   "Chairman, although the speed of network development in our country is slightly lower than those in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and the number of personal computers is also small, but we have more Internet cafes, which no other country can match."
   "And we have a larger number of young people, college students, middle school students, and even some office workers like to play games, and the online number of large online games has always been leading the world."
   "It can be said that in the future online game market, our China Games will be the best, not one of them."
China is densely populated~EbookFREE.me~ Although there are not many people who speak English, those English-speaking countries are more scattered and need more enterprise proxy servers. The number of online users on the same server is far from comparable to the China market. Naturally Not reach this heat.
   "Okay, then you have a good communication with Alan, to increase the promotion cost of World of Warcraft, especially in the European and American markets. I am very optimistic about this game, and it will become Blizzard's main revenue in the future."
"In the promotion of the company, if we encounter difficulties, we can help. You can talk to Alan and ask them if they would like to convert their shares into shares of North American Zhiduoxing, making Blizzard completely into the whole of North American Zhiduoxing. Subsidiary."
   Previously, North American Zhiduoxing had been controlling 60% of Blizzard's equity, but Zhang Yang never intervened in the operation of the company over there.
   However, Blizzard has some problems with the use of funds. Otherwise, it will not be possible to completely sell the battle network to Zhiduoxing in exchange for funds for World of Warcraft.
   Now that World of Warcraft is being promoted, it is not strong enough, not to mention that the agency rights of many markets are Zhiduoxing Group. In fact, Zhiduoxing Group has mastered the lifeblood of Blizzard.
   Some other North American Zhiduoxing holding companies have now completed wholly-owned companies, which is close to Blizzard.
   "You said to Allen that if he agreed, I promised that World of Warcraft could sweep the European and American markets and fulfill his dreams, and there would be no less dividends for several of their original shareholders."
