Chapter 29 Glory: Our game is booming! (Thanks for the tip! I'll add another chapter!)
Han Wenqing was silent.
In fact, Han Wenqing had already figured out the key points when Zhang Xinjie was halfway through his analysis.
He is stubborn, but he is not stupid.
As the captain of Tyranny, and a captain with extremely broad jurisdiction, he has participated in many discussions of Tyranny's management.
He knew too well how much of a headache the "account" thing caused the management.
Judging from the current market price, an account of the same level is worth about twice that of a player.
For example, Ye Xiu's net worth is about a little over 10 million, while One Autumn Leaf's value is basically over 20 million.
This means that if management wants to trade a current player, unless they have an idle account, they will have to pay three times the price.
This has made the operating costs of major clubs terrifying.
Why did Zhang Jiale's purchase of Baihua Liaoluan make the Baihua management so happy?
Because Baihua really needs that 14 million.
Han Wenqing knew very well how attractive it would be to the management if there was a league that could reduce the damn operating costs.
After a long while, Han Wenqing slowly spoke, with a rare hint of uncertainty in his voice:
"So, if the Glory League changes the rules and the equipment is provided by the official, will it be better?"
Zhang Xinjie said firmly: "Then Glory will be ruined."
"Is it that serious?" Han Wenqing kept frowning.
"The main motivation for current Honor players to play Honor is basically to fight bosses and complete dungeons, so as to save materials and change equipment."
"The reason why materials and equipment can maintain their value is that there is always a demand gap in the league."
"When there is demand from the league, the big guilds will gather materials all over the world. The materials will be scarce, and the prices will be guaranteed."
"Well, once this hole is closed—"
"No one would be so keen on farming for materials and equipment." Han Wenqing sighed and took over the conversation.
Zhang Xinjie was also extremely helpless:
"Honor's update speed is too slow. The updates in ten years may not be comparable to those in two years of Tencent."
"Players are in the rough most of the time."
"If there is no motivation to grind for equipment and materials, not many people will be willing to play this game."
The game of Honor is a dead end.
The reason for the deadlock is the poor performance of the production team.
You know, this is the eighth season, and it has been almost three years since the last time the level cap was opened.
In the past three years, Honor has had no new skills, no new professions, no new levels. The only novelty is some boring activities during festivals.
Do you want a game like this to operate stably and long-term?
Dream it.
The game of Honor is now in an extremely ridiculous business balance.
Because of the slow update, it is impossible to retain players by relying on large quantities of content like Genshin Impact.
In order to retain players, equipment materials must maintain their value and be scarce.
In order to maintain its value, the club must spend money on the equipment system.
In order for the club to burn money, investors must invest.
In order to attract investors to invest money, there must always be high-quality players with high traffic.
If you want to always have high-quality players, you must retain the players.
The loop is closed.
This closed loop is so fragile that it can be shattered to pieces with just the slightest touch.
However, Pei Yunteng now held the sledgehammer in his hand, ready to strike with all his might.
And they, these small shrimps who prospered by relying on this closed loop, would be doomed if they were not careful in such a battle between gods.
There has to be a way out.
"Wenqing, perhaps this sounds cowardly and pessimistic, but I must remind you," Zhang Xinjie's eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance, but he continued.
"We have to be prepared."
For a moment, Han Wenqing lowered his head, trying to hide the fragility in his eyes.
But soon he raised his head again, with only that indelible toughness left in his eyes.
He is no longer Han Wenqing, but Captain Han.
"You arrange it. The focus will be on the kids in the youth training camp and the players with relatively low incomes." He turned and walked out.
"What about you?" Zhang Xinjie asked. "I am a remnant of the old times, and there is no ship to carry me in the new world." Han Wenqing did not look back.
Zhang Xinjie looked at his back. The light from the computer screen reflected on his glasses, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.
……
The same situation is not only happening in Tyranny.
The content contained in Fall Guys is too straightforward. It would be fine if it is not launched online. But once it is launched, anyone with a little common sense can see Tencent’s ambition.
Blue Rain.
"So, maybe we will have to cling to Wenbo in the future?" Huang Shaotian stared at Yu Wenzhou.
"Maybe." Yu Wenzhou chuckled, looking calm and relaxed.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had judged Boss Pei's intention in advance because of Yu Wenbo's unintentional words.
Even though he still had to do his job as Blue Rain's captain, he could at least get his younger brother to the right position.
Whether some people are willing or not, he has decided to board the ship of this new era.
Thunder.
Xiao Shiqin's eyes were solemn, but for a moment he couldn't think of a way to break the impasse.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Thunder as a whole is a very young team.
Even if we transform, it may not be too late.
"Forget it. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
"Thunder is nothing like that."
Weicao.
Qiao Yifan looked at the captain in front of him nervously.
He was unable to attend the live broadcast due to his identity, but he was itching to watch, so he secretly watched in the training room.
As a result, he was caught red-handed by Wang Jiexi.
I thought I would be scolded for being too low.
As a result, Wang Jiexi's attention was almost entirely drawn to Ye Xiu's live broadcast content.
Even his eyes were opened to the same size, which was rare.
After a long time, Wang Jiexi turned around and looked at Qiao Yifan, with a look of respect in his eyes that Qiao Yifan had never seen before.
Such attention was previously reserved for Gao Yingjie.
……
Tenghai headquarters.
"How was it? Was there a big commotion?" Pei Yunteng looked at Zhang Yuanfang who came to report.
"It's okay. After all, the appearance of the jelly bean man is too deceptive." Zhang Yuanfang said with a smile.
"The players may be able to see more, but as for the management, there is probably only one Excellent Era."
"Jia Shi? Did that old fellow Tao Xuan show his loyalty to you?" Pei Yunteng smiled.
"He said that he would follow the lead of President Pei."
……
Xingxin Internet Cafe.
"Okay, today's live broadcast ends here. Thank you all for your support. I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll take a day off!"
"goodbye!"
Ye Xiu stretched, asked for leave, and then turned off the live broadcast.
But the moment he turned off the live broadcast, all the excitement and joy he had felt when playing Fall Guys disappeared in an instant.
I took out my cell phone and hesitated for a long time, but finally made the call.
"Mucheng,"
"If you are free tomorrow, please accompany me to see Mu Qiu."
The third update is here! Thank you for your support!
The number of collections increased by nearly 300 today, I am really honored.
There may be three updates tomorrow, and I will use the momentum to finish writing this climax.
Stay tuned.
