Upon seeing the results, Han Ling's hands, holding the personal terminal, trembled.

If you want to be prominent in public, you must suffer in private.

This boss is not someone an ordinary person can be.

No wonder many companies have broken their cash flow or can't sell their products, leaving the bosses penniless.

Then, Han Ling remembered that during the seven days of the game's closed beta, he had given out 7 million yuan in red envelopes!

Am I the spendthrift?

He sent a message to the company's president, Parsons, his hands trembling.

"President, the game's closed beta test is over. Shall we have a meeting? Let's look at the game reports and discuss how to develop it in the future."

The next second, Parsons replied:

[Okay, boss! I've been wanting to have this meeting for a while now. Everything's ready, we're just waiting for you to schedule it.]

For the past seven days, Han Ling has been sending out a red envelope containing one million yuan every day in the group chat, making every employee smile with joy.

At the same time, the company's chairman also gained extremely high prestige in the hearts of everyone.

Han Ling said:

"Let's set the meeting time for two hours. Tell everyone that it's an online meeting and it will be held in two hours."

...

Two hours later.

All 386 employees entered the conference room.

Everyone looked radiant in front of the camera.

I worked seven days and won tens of thousands of yuan in red envelopes. How could I not be happy!

Inside the meeting room, everyone except the chairman had their cameras on.

To conceal his identity, Han Ling not only didn't turn on his webcam, but he didn't even turn on his voice; he simply typed to Parsons:

"The meeting may begin."

In just seven days, Parsons was a completely different person.

He was unusually calm and reliable in front of the camera, completely unlike the hysterical gaming clown he had been before.

Han Ling was very satisfied with his transformation.

Managers need to have the composure of a manager in order to keep the morale of their troops stable.

"Hello? Can everyone hear me? If you can, type '1' in the comments." Parsons' voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, countless "1"s scrolled through the comments section of the meeting.

Parsons chuckled softly:

"Good that you can hear me. Now, the meeting begins."

This meeting is our company's first general meeting, and the agenda consists of only three points.

First, we will report to the chairman on our recent work.

Secondly, how should the work proceed after the game's public beta launch in the near future?

Thirdly, regarding company location, since everyone here is a recent graduate and still on campus, but will be leaving in a few months, the company needs to reserve office space in advance so that everyone can rent accommodation ahead of time.

First, we'd like to invite our finance manager to explain our game's revenue over the past seven days.

Parsons' language is concise and efficient.

In just a few words, he clearly explained what needed to be done next.

Han Ling nodded in satisfaction again. It seemed that Parsons had been reading quite a few management books lately.

During the online meeting, the finance manager presented his financial statements and dropped a bombshell.

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The finance person said:

"During the seven-day closed beta test of the game, the company's financial turnover was 4.6 billion credit points."

Only some users requested refunds.

After deducting 40% tax, the company's net income for seven days was 2.76 billion credit points.

On the first day of the game's closed beta, I estimated the company's annual revenue to be 9 billion and net profit to be 5.4 billion.

Our company's revenue is now far exceeding expectations!

The number of paying users exceeds 5 million.

Upon hearing this revenue figure, everyone gasped in shock.

Han Ling's breath hitched, and her mind went blank.

He quickly asked the system:

"System, how many credits do I have in my account right now?"

He had previously instructed Parsons that the company's revenue must be taxed honestly, and that he should never let the tax authorities come looking for him. After the taxes were deducted, the revenue would be directly deposited into his account.

The system replied:

The host currently has 2.76 billion credits in their account.

Han Ling's eyes widened in shock. What? I woke up to find myself a billionaire?

He had just complained that he had too many employees and couldn't support so many people.

But now it seems that every employee is working and generating profits and revenue for themselves.

Han Ling stroked his chin, his heart filled with turmoil.

Those seven million yuan in red envelopes weren't wasted!

Not only was Han Ling stunned, but even the company's employees were stunned.

Making that much money?

The employees are all working for the first time. Although they seem very busy every day, they are doing very easy jobs that can be completed in their dormitories.

Although they knew that the games developed by the company were somewhat famous in the industry, no one expected that they would generate 4.6 billion in revenue in just seven days!

During the meeting, the finance manager was still giving a report.

His report was very comprehensive and professional.

Han Ling only understood part of what he was hearing.

However, he understood everything he was supposed to understand.

For example, the finance manager said that during the closed beta, there are many people who pre-pay for the game, but when the game is officially released, fewer people will pay, and it may not meet expectations.

For example, the peak period for game top-ups was after the release of the first UR card.

Upon hearing this, Han Ling couldn't help but recall the past.

Back when I was on Earth, there were many tricks used by games to trick people into spending money.

To maintain revenue from game recharges, most games offer different events every day.

In addition, the game will also hold monthly events.

January has New Year's Day, a warm-up for the New Year.

February includes the Lantern Festival, a warm-up for Valentine's Day.

March is the month for spring outings and tree planting, and also for Women's Day.

April is the time for Qingming Festival and Labor Day celebrations.

May includes Labor Day, Youth Day, and Mother's Day.

...

The game activities never stopped from the beginning to the end of the year.

However, there aren't that many festivals in interstellar space.

Because the Zerg have too many planets, it's impossible to unify the festivals based on the seasons of each planet.

Han Ling rubbed his fingers together. If there are no holidays, we can just create them.

Celebrate if you want.

Han Ling had this idea, so she immediately wrote it down in three minutes and sent it to Parsons.

"How can we maintain the game's popularity and encourage players to spend more money during the open beta? I have an idea."

In the game "Charge! Top Male Insect Lord", there is one female insect and five male insects, for a total of six main characters.

We can divide the six main characters into lucky months according to the month.

During the month, recharging will grant you a small birthday gift for the main character; the more you recharge, the more you receive.

For example, if you recharge 100 credits within a month, you will receive a pair of shoes as a gift.

Once you accumulate 1000 credits through top-ups, you can collect a complete set of celebratory attire.

Recharge 10,000 credits to receive a commemorative card with a special storyline.

We need to create content to increase user engagement.

In addition to the lucky month, we also need to link it with some important holidays.

For example, when everyone is on holiday, I hope they will all come and play our games.

At this point, we should proactively give players some gifts to entice them to log in.

Han Ling offered a series of suggestions.

In his view, these are the most basic marketing methods for games.

But in the interstellar era dominated by war games, visual realism, smoothness, and impactful combat are the most important factors.

Can you make money making 2D anime/manga games? Before the release of "Charge! Top Male Insect Lord," game developers wouldn't have even dared to dream of it.

After sending these messages, Han Ling listened to the meeting again.

At this point, the speaker at the meeting had changed.

The head of the Ministry of Justice is speaking.

"...During the seven days of our game's closed beta test, we suffered a total of 560,000 cyberattacks. Most of them were blocked, but a small number left traces, and the legal department has already sued those people."

In addition, our company's game is so popular that other companies have already started to imitate it.

Currently, all major companies on the market have set up new departments to produce holographic dating simulation games, with the same game modes as ours.

Dating simulation games are very easy to copy, and large companies have ample manpower, so I believe our competing games will be launched soon. At that time, our company's revenue may decrease.

Upon hearing the words of the head of the legal department, Han Ling couldn't help but curse:

"Damn it! Everyone wants a slice of the pie! No sportsmanship! They're all stumbling blocks on my path to making money!"
