Chapter 124 My life is so miserable!

"...Then let them play for a while longer."

Lu Ming finally sat back on the sofa, leaned against the back of the chair and sighed deeply.

He really didn't want to see those three people now.

It is true that a good teacher produces excellent students!

Lao Zhou's "Time Journey" is a big hit,

The students’ work became a hit!

This is too much. Lao Zhou, your position as class teacher is temporarily cancelled!

On the other side of the video, Lao Zhou paused, his tone carrying a hint of sincere advice:

"Mr. Lu, I think we still need to...keep learning."

"We really don't understand the world of young people anymore."

Lu Ming blinked, his expression blank: "Ah"

"Mr. Lu, look, the popularity of this game isn't due to resources, PR, or distribution channels."

"It was spread spontaneously by young people in a small group!"

"So, Mr. Lu, the preferences of niche players are also something we need to consider in the future!"

"That's right! You make sense!"

Lu Ming rarely spoke up to agree.

It's a shame that he had tested it with so many people in the company before, and the answer was the same!

The result

There are so many people in the company, but not a single one is 2D!

It seems that the company needs to recruit not only some fresh blood, but also more young people!

Otherwise, what should I do next time when I encounter some niche hobby?

…

November 20th,

Inside the office, light streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

At this moment, against the deep blue background, two curves are flying upwards in completely different postures.

One is "A Journey Through Time".

The curve is smooth, as steady as an old dog, with a huge number of downloads and a rating of 4.5.

The comments are of high quality and user stickiness is strong. The growth curve is like a mountain, steady and solid, with continuous force and no falsehood.

The other one is "Out of Control Accompaniment: Platycodon Overture".

Curves...explosions.

It was like a fire dragon rising into the sky. It was inconspicuous at first, but now it was soaring into the sky like crazy!

Not only did the number of comments skyrocket, but the rating also rose directly to 4.7 points.

A total of 5 points out of 5, this rise is too fast!

The perseverance of 2D fans is really strong!

In front of the screen, Lu Ming was using a cup of cold brew black coffee to comfort his impending mental state.

Lao Wang sat next to him with a pile of reports, waiting for Lu Ming to speak.

Lu Ming lightly clicked the mouse to switch the chart view.

Total downloads of Time Journey: 780,000

Total downloads of "Out of Control Accompaniment": 530,000

How long has it been?

The purchasing power of these two-dimensional people is really strong!

Moreover, Lu Ming also discovered it!

These people who like the second dimension may not be rich, but they are really willing to spend money!

Not only do they sell this game to you for 128, but they also proactively offer a lot of optimization suggestions on the forum!

I even recommend it to others like crazy!

Lu Ming's eyes were fixed on the sales report on the big screen, and his lips were pursed into a line.

"Mr. Lu, I've checked it three times."

Lao Wang spoke slowly, trying to speak in a calm tone.

"This is the statistics as of nine o'clock this morning. After deducting the refund rate, the current actual revenue of the two games is approximately..."

Lao Wang raised his finger and pressed a button.

[Whale Leap Games' total revenue this month: approximately 300 million!]

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched violently.

Lao Wang continued:

"Among them, 'Time Journey' is priced at 328 yuan, and its downloads are stable, with actual sales of about 725,000."

"Based on 328 per share, the total is 237 million yuan."

"We distribute our products on our platform ourselves, eliminating the commission. We use Deep Blue Games' distribution channel, and we only charge withholding tax and some of the technical support and distribution maintenance fees you mentioned earlier. This deduction is about 12%."

"So the actual amount received was about 208 million."

"And 'Out of Control Accompaniment' is priced at 128 yuan, and the purchase conversion rate is extremely high. Almost no one refunds! Almost all users are addicted."

"After deducting the amount payable, the actual amount collected was approximately 46 million!"

"Taken together, these two games have brought the company..."

Lao Wang typed two words on the blank page:

Net income: 254 million

Lu Ming: “…”

so much

I make so much money.

Lu Ming was still a little confused!

He slowly turned his head and looked at the coffee machine behind him.

Suddenly I felt a little breathless, and this life didn’t seem so hard anymore!

"You said...we made more than 200 million this month"

"Yes."

"This doesn't even include the revenue generated by '氪命修仙'!"

Lu Ming fell into deep thought. When he had previously exploited the system, he had only made 140 million!

Is the gaming industry really that profitable?

Isn't it said that no one in China pays for content?

Isn't it said that niche games don't make money?

We have a serious job and we make money so quickly!

Lu Ming was a little excited. Regardless of where the money came from, even without the system, the money earned from the game was still money!

Although the subsequent revenue fluctuations of this type of buyout game may be relatively large,

However, based on this month's revenue, Jingyue should be considered a half-big game company!

Although this income is still far from the top ones, how long has Jingyue been established?

Lu Ming sat there, feeling as if he had been hit by a club of happiness, and his brain briefly went blank.

He stood up slowly, and a capitalist-like confidence began to emerge in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth even trembled unconsciously.

"Old Wang."

His voice was low,

"Do you know...what this feels like?"

"Like what"

"It's like you've been chasing a goddess-like girl for ten years, and now she suddenly tells you that she's been secretly in love with you for years."

Lao Wang: ...

Lao Wang was actually very happy too, as he was a veteran of the company.

Seeing that the company was about to go bankrupt, Mr. Lu has been paying back to the company out of his own pocket.

He is really excited that the company has made so much profit now!

But a second-generation person like Mr. Lu shouldn't be so unstable!

Lao Wang was still puzzled.

Lu Ming walked to the French window excitedly and stood there for a while, his hair fluttering in the wind.

Then he suddenly sat down on the sofa and sank into it.

Then,

There was silence, as if something had been touched upon in an instant.

Lu Ming stared at the ceiling, his eyes slowly solidifying.

"etc."

"I... am a person with a system!"

Lu Ming opened his eyes wide as if he had been splashed with cold water.

If we follow the conversion ratio rule of moral debt value,

There's a good chance he'll only get 1%!

A rough estimate would be over two million!

Is money still money if it can’t be spent?

Lu Ming was a little nervous.

The excitement, complacency and pride on his face all faded away like the tide in that second.

More than two million.

That sounds like a lot.

But the property management fee for his large flat is hundreds of thousands a year!

This is not enough!

Not to mention that he once had over 100 million in wealth that belonged entirely to him!

Lu Ming covered his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable!

"My life is so miserable!"

"I earn a lot... yes, but I don't get paid much!"

It seems that if you want financial freedom, you still have to rely on yourself to turn things around!

Lu Ming collapsed on the sofa again, staring blankly at the ceiling. He looked as if he had just experienced the most brilliant hallucination in his life...

Lao Wang left quietly. He didn't quite understand Mr. Lu's way of celebrating. He thought it would be better for him to digest it quietly by himself.

A few minutes later,

There was a soft knock on the door, followed by Lin Xiaoxiao's voice:

"Boss Lu, I have important news to report!"

Lu Ming immediately sat up straight and quickly smoothed his hair with his hands.

"Come in."

The door opened and Lin Xiaoxiao walked in holding documents.

"Mr. Lu, I have some news."

Her tone was light, as if she was surprised by something.

"Don't talk about the game!"

No matter how much you say, you are working for Jingyue!

Everyone thought he was the boss, but in fact, in Lu Ming's eyes, he was just a high-level employee!

Lu Ming's tone was low, and he thought to himself, then he interrupted directly.

Lin Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and smiled:

"Mr. Lu, that really has nothing to do with the game!"
