Chapter 484 Game Overseas Expansion Plan (5K)

After entering the game, I found that the game screen was actually shot by real people, and the pictures were so exquisite that they looked like movies!

In terms of production, it is not shoddy. Every click of the mouse can give good feedback, and the picture is also excellent. The six female protagonists all have their own characteristics and are all beauties.

Yan Xueyou scoffed and said, "How can you call something like this a game? Penguin is really crazy to cooperate with such a fool!"

So, he started playing casually, and then he got a little into the plot...

The reasons why Zeng Wenjie chose this game are: first, it is quick to produce; second, it is low-cost; third, it has gimmicks; and fourth, it cultivates the consumption awareness of WG users.

Nowadays, there are still many otakus who are eager to fall in love.

Which boy doesn’t have a dream of being surrounded by beautiful women?

"Fuck, Haohao's mom is so beautiful. I really want to give her a complete family." Yan Xueyou couldn't help but sigh while playing.

He found that this was not a pornographic game, and it was only slightly pornographic. It was a serious love game, but it was not a two-dimensional game, but was recorded with real characters.

Moreover, the acting skills of these real-life characters are quite good and vivid, showing their respective characteristics and personalities to players for players with different preferences to choose from.

For men, this is actually a "science fiction game". Where can you find such a good girlfriend in real life?

After Yan Xueyou finished playing the main storyline of Haohao's mother, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He likes playing online games very much, so he has some ability to appreciate them.

This love game, priced at 19.9QB, is well-made, with beautiful actors and actresses with good acting skills. Although the plot is a bit weak, it is still attractive overall, and the slight edges are also within an acceptable range.

All in all, spending twenty bucks to experience six different virtual romances seems to be a very worthwhile thing for a otaku?

With this little money, you can’t even buy a higher-end skin in “Hero Killer”.

"It seems that only the plot is worth criticizing. Some parts are rather stupid and out of place, but overall, it can be regarded as a relatively conscientious game." Yan Xueyou sighed.

I originally wanted to criticize it harshly, but after playing it, I found that there was nothing to complain about.

Zeng Wenjie's expectations for this game are not high. He just wants to sell 300,000 copies. The real profit will be the subsequent "Hollow Knight" and the games negotiated with major game manufacturers.

In fact, SONY has many good games, but they have the unique advantage of PS, and they definitely can't even think about getting those exclusive copyrights.

There is a reason why the game is launched at midnight. Those who are not sleeping and still playing on the computer at this time are basically otakus. Seventy to eighty percent of them lack love and are eager to be in love. Most of them are willing to pay money to experience virtual love.

The WG platform even came up with a very interesting advertising slogan: Men should spend 19.9 yuan to love themselves.

Various game reviews soon emerged online, and the reviews were relatively fair, saying that the game was well-made, had excellent casting, and an average plot. Overall, it was still online.

Moreover, the appearance of such a game in this era is somewhat novel. After all, there are no such love games made with real-life characters on the market.

The six heroines also quickly became famous, among which Haohao's mother was undoubtedly the most popular. No matter which era, Cao thieves are the most popular.

The next day, Zeng Wenjie got up and looked at the data. From midnight to this moment, 80,000 sets had been sold. Adding to the online reviews, it would not be a big problem to break 300,000 sets.

"Users in this era are not very willing to pay. But it doesn't matter. The users of the WG platform overlap with those of Penguin. Most Penguin players have the habit of recharging. If we release a few more good games, we can quickly cultivate users' willingness to pay." Zeng Wenjie thought to himself.

After the game was launched, few people on the Internet scolded Zeng Wenjie anymore.

The name sounds a bit erotic, but it is actually a serious game. There is nothing over the line, and the endings are all about a single female protagonist without a harem. There is nothing wrong with it.

After 24 hours, a total of 200,000 sets were sold, which is considered a satisfactory result. After another two or three days, the sales will naturally exceed 300,000 sets.

Moreover, the upper limit of this game is actually not low, but there are few people willing to spend money to buy the game. Zeng Wenjie estimates that it should be no problem to sell 600,000 copies in a month.

After it’s been online for a while and we offer discounts, it’s certain that sales will exceed one million.

Zheng Shouyun was very happy after getting the 24-hour sales results. He felt that this was a good data and a good start for the WG platform.

Zeng Wenjie plans to arrange the promotion of "Hollow Knight" a week later. After "Hollow Knight" is released, he will put the major game copyrights he has negotiated on the platform for players to purchase.

Metroidvania-type games are simple to understand and easy to play, but "Hollow Knight" is a Souls-like game after all, so it is difficult and it is not easy for players to complete it.

What's more, under the control of two major planners, Miyazaki Laozei and Feng Qiyinggao, some levels are full of malice and will cause a certain degree of torture to players.

Zeng Wenjie thinks this is a good thing, so that when "Dark Souls" comes out, its reputation will not spread too slowly and it will not be criticized too harshly by players in the early stages.

Time flies, and the release date of "Hollow Knight" has arrived.

This time the promotion is much more formal, with serious actual machine demonstrations and sincere pricing.

Its price is still the same as "I'm Surrounded by Beauties", 19.9QB, which is really surprising.

However, the fact that Game Science has released a total of three games in succession at such a fast speed has still caused discussions and doubts in the industry. After all, it takes time to polish a good game. With such a high frequency of output, can any good games be produced?

An article written by Yan Xinyi was also released after the announcement - "Looking at WeGame's overseas ambitions from Hollow Knight".

After all, she had obtained the information revealed by Zeng Wenjie and knew that the ultimate goal of the WG platform was to become a global gaming platform and to go overseas to earn foreign exchange.

Therefore, the article also takes a grand and majestic macro approach. As soon as it was published, it immediately attracted widespread attention.

After all, Yan Xinyi is a well-known host and has a keen sense of news, so she has attracted a lot of attention. The protagonist of this article is Zeng Wenjie, who is currently in the limelight, and it immediately attracted a lot of traffic, and was reposted by major platforms.

After reading the article, Yan Xueyou was filled with disdain. He said, "With the gaming environment in China, you still want to promote WG into a global gaming platform? Earning foreign exchange? You're dreaming!!"

Xu Yuhuan also read Yan Xinyi's article carefully. She quite liked reading Yan Xinyi's article and felt that her writing was brilliant, and her vision was unique and far-sighted.

"This Hollow Knight is obviously a game built with Western materials, not our Eastern materials! They don't even know how to please players in their own country, and they want to go overseas? How funny!" Yan Xueyou sneered repeatedly.

Xu Yuhuan said thoughtfully, "You think there's no way to succeed?"

Yan Xueyou said, "It's definitely possible to go overseas, but whether there's anyone to pay for it is another matter. It's even possible that if he doesn't do well, he'll be kicked out by Penguin and someone else will take his place!"

Xu Yuhuan said, "No wonder he wants to make a game based on a Western worldview. Is he just being ambitious and targeting foreigners?"

Yan Xueyou said, "If he can earn foreign exchange, coupled with the layers of golden bodies he has recently built, he will be truly invincible. No one can touch him."

Xu Yuhuan nodded after hearing this. At present, no matter what kind of enterprise it is, as long as it can go overseas to earn foreign exchange, the country will give strong support and encouragement.

Zeng Wenjie already has enough support now. If he can earn foreign exchange, how terrifying will the upper limit be?

Let alone throwing tea on Yan Xueyou's face, I'm afraid it wouldn't matter if I just threw tea on Lin Dong's face...

"He must have impressed Penguin with this condition, which made Penguin willing to spend money and effort to cooperate with him! His broken platform doesn't even have any eggs. It's purely built by sucking the blood of penguins." Yan Xueyou said with a cold snort.

"Indeed...but he is the only person in the world who can make penguins donate blood voluntarily." Xu Yuhuan was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

This made Yan Xueyou feel a little depressed. It was true that Penguin has always been a vampire, but this time in order to support the WG platform, it became a volunteer blood donor.

Anyway, people from all walks of life are discussing it. No one knows how Zeng Wenjie brainwashed Pony Ma to make Penguin continue to provide financial support to a zero-based game platform for so long, and used gift packs from major games to boost the user base of the WG platform.

Every time Game Science released a new game, Yan Xueyou looked forward to it and would be the first to try it out. As a result, the games were all pretty good after trying them out, especially "Hero Killer", which made him addicted. He even bought a lot of skins.

He also played "Beauty", and followed the stories of all six heroines. He felt that the characters of the six heroines were all good, and the best one was still Haohao's mother.

After the article caused a sensation, Yan Xinyi called Zeng Wenjie and said, "Wenjie, is my article okay?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Xinyi, you're just too modest. What do you mean by 'okay'? This is clearly a top-notch manuscript!"

Yan Xinyi said: "I wish you can complete your layout as soon as possible and achieve WG's goal of going overseas to earn foreign exchange."

Zeng Wenjie said: "After the release of Hollow Knight, we started to expand overseas. The subsequent Dark Souls should cause a sensation in the overseas game market, and attract foreigners to flock to the WG platform to top up QB and buy games."

Yan Xinyi exclaimed, "That's amazing! Penguin has long wanted to expand its influence overseas, but unfortunately, it's been ineffective. You suddenly appeared, and with just the WG platform, you were able to help them achieve their long-cherished wish."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Yan Xinyi said, "See you in Yanjing in a few days. I'll treat you to some Old Yanjing Douzhi."

"I know that stuff. Don't try to cheat me. Just treat me to mutton hotpot and roast duck." Zeng Wenjie sneered.

He found that these girls seemed to have bad intentions and would specifically recommend some dark dishes to others.

Zeng Wenjie had tried this stuff in his previous life as a livestreamer. He thought, "I'm a tough guy who can even drink chicken breast juice, so why would I be afraid of this soy milk?" But after finishing a bowl, he almost vomited.

Yan Xinyi said, "Okay, okay. Hot pot mutton, roast duck, whatever you want to eat, I'll arrange it."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I want to eat swallows, I wonder if there are any."

Yan Xinyi chuckled and hung up the phone.

This smile is the finishing touch, the kind that can keep people awake all night, but fortunately, Boss Zeng has now become very skilled.

Zeng Wenjie has a trip to Yenching University. He has been nominated as one of the top ten in the country, so he needs to go to Yenching University to participate in the interview and selection.

It’s quite troublesome to judge this thing, but it is a super important award after all.

With so many provinces and municipalities combined, about 300 people can be selected each year, but there are only ten people in the top ten in the country each year. Isn't that a lot of effort?

In Chongshan Province, no one has won this award for many years. There have been some shortlisted candidates, but they were basically just runners-up.

Recently, the Zeng Wenjie Foundation has also taken action, making donations to education in various impoverished areas of Chongshan Province and erecting a number of "Zeng Wenjie Teaching Buildings".

As the chairman of the board, Mu Qingyang only occasionally attends press conferences and the foundation's specific affairs are handled by someone else on her behalf.

That day was the release date of "Hollow Knight", but Zeng Wenjie, as the boss, was not in the company. Instead, he went to the provincial government department to attend an important meeting.

Chongshan has really stood up this year. The tourism industry has developed rapidly and the economy has been boosted. Therefore, when the provincial leaders saw Zeng Wenjie, they all smiled and affectionately called him "Xiao Zeng".

Facing these bigwigs, Zeng Wenjie did not dare to be arrogant. He responded very humbly to ensure that he did not leave any bad impression.

After the meeting, Zhuang Aimin asked Zeng Wenjie to come to his office for tea.

As a provincial governor, he is very busy. It is rare that he has some free time after the meeting today. Zeng Wenjie happened to be there, so he prepared to have a chat with his good junior.

After the secretary made tea for the two of them, she went to wait outside the office.

Zhuang Aimin said, "I heard that you launched a new game today?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Yes, this game is also a small production, but it is very detailed and interesting. You can let Zhuang Yan try it out. I will give her an activation code, so she doesn't have to buy it."

Zhuang Aimin couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He said, "If it weren't for Yan Xinyi's article, I would also be very puzzled as to why you wanted to make a game with a Western worldview. It seems that you really have big ambitions."

Zeng Wenjie said: "Penguin is a top-tier company, and they don't care about petty things. Moreover, my country's game market is quite chaotic and rubbish. It's a good thing for me to get involved and clean it up."

Zhuang Aimin did not think that this was an exaggeration, because Zeng Wenjie really led the entire Fengzhou to raise awareness of food safety issues on his own, causing restaurants of all sizes to pay attention to it.

He said he wanted to regulate the national gaming market, and I'm afraid what he said is true.

"Going overseas to earn foreign exchange is a good thing, and if you can make money through games, it's even better." Zhuang Aimin said with a smile.

"Is Yan Xinyi's article highly valued?" Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Zhuang Aimin nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and said, "Before, the higher-ups didn't pay enough attention to the internet, but the internet's output value has been increasing year by year, and it has finally made everyone realize its importance and value that cannot be ignored!"

"Also, as you know... foreign exchange reserves have always been a problem. Our country lacks the core competitiveness to earn money abroad."

"Your outstanding performance in recent years has been impressive. Plus, the gaming market's revenue continues to rise each year, and WG has a strategy to expand overseas... So, the higher-ups called and asked about me."

Zeng Wenjie is no longer the little Karami who is ignored by everyone and can be shown off by any rich second generation guy.

Especially after Yan Xinyi published this article, she emphasized the ambition of the WG gaming platform and eloquently described Zeng Wenjie's ambition to open up the overseas gaming market and earn foreign exchange.

This article made everyone suddenly realize that it is no wonder that Penguin is willing to cooperate with Zeng Wenjie and give blood transfusions. So this is what is going on!

If Zeng Wenjie had been the only one clamoring about going overseas and earning foreign exchange, the higher-ups would at most have just laughed it off.

But Penguin is a super giant in the domestic Internet industry. Zeng Wenjie cooperated with them and made such a big move, and they are aiming to go overseas and earn foreign exchange, so it is very worthy of attention!

"It's actually very easy to develop overseas markets. Once you spend the promotion money, you don't have to worry about the download volume. The key lies in the quality of the product. Only high-quality games can retain users," said Zeng Wenjie.

"Does the Japanese guy you bought with US dollars have this ability?" Zhuang Aimin asked.

"By the year after next at the latest, his annual salary will be more than 200,000 US dollars." Zeng Wenjie said with a relaxed smile.

Zhuang Aimin said: "Cultural publicity is a very important part, and you can't just focus on the market, otherwise, problems will easily arise."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry, brother. Once we open up the overseas market, I will start preparing a game based on Chinese elements."

Zhuang Aimin looked at him appreciatively, nodded, and said, "You've done a great job. Remember to perform well when you go to Yanjing! This award doesn't just belong to you. It's an honor that all of us at Chongshan value very much."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Yes."

The two chatted until lunch time, had a meal together, and then parted ways.

Zeng Wenjie came to Game Science leisurely. Everyone was still working overtime. "Hollow Knight" was officially released today, and there were a lot of things to do.

"How are the sales figures? How are the ratings?"

As soon as Zeng Wenjie arrived, he asked Zheng Shouyun.
