Soon, the hotel driver arrived.
He also kindly opened the car door for them and invited them to get in.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.
All three sat in the back row. Gao Yan and Zheng Xiaoyu both sat by the window, while Zhuo Jiangyue sat between the two.
After getting in the car, the two women started chatting in hushed tones again. Gao Yan had an idea and brought up the system interface to check the data of the three milk tea shops.
All three milk tea shops have sold out of mobile phones today. At the same time, milk tea sales are higher than usual because it's the weekend. By the time they close tonight, the milk tea shops' revenue might exceed 100,000 yuan.
Just then, Gao Yan discovered that his upgrade experience was rapidly increasing at a rate of 19.8 per upgrade.
Suddenly, he became somewhat puzzled. Where did all this experience come from?
Just then.
His phone rang; it was a call from his senior, Qian Bao'er.
Based on the experience gained earlier, could it be that Qianbaoer Games has released a new game for sale?
The moment the call connected, before Gao Yan could even speak, Qian Bao'er's excited voice came through the receiver: "Junior, our new game has just been released!"
"So fast! You've worked hard, senior!"
Gao Yandao said.
Qian Bao'er: "It's no trouble at all. I have to thank you for your investment. Otherwise, our game wouldn't have been able to launch so quickly!"
After chatting for a few more minutes, Gao Yan hung up the phone.
Because the car is an enclosed space, and the two women stopped chatting when Gao Yan was on the phone, they both heard that the person Gao Yan was talking to was a girl.
He explained, "I invested in a game company. The company's owner is a senior from our school. She called to tell me that her new game had just been released!"
"You don't need to explain, I believe you!"
Zhuo Jiangyue hugged Gao Yan's arm, but she was quite happy inside. Gao Yan's initiative to explain showed that he cared about her and was worried that she would misunderstand.
"Isn't this to put your mind at ease?" Gao Yan said with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoyu, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Gao Yan, you also own a game company? I'm a streamer, and although I'm not very popular, I can still help you promote it!"
"I'm just a shareholder, I don't concern myself with company affairs!" Gao Yan explained. "However, it would be great if you could help promote it!"
"Okay, tell me the name of the game, and I'll download it when I get back!"
"Alright, let me ask what the game is called!"
So, Gao Yan sent Qian Bao'er a WeChat message asking her for her game name.
After receiving the reply, he told Zheng Xiaoyu his name and also searched for it in the app store.
Qian Bao'er's company makes paid games.
The purchase cost is 19.8 yuan.
It was only on the app store for about two minutes, but it had already been downloaded by 86 people.
Of course, this is just one app store; if you include other app stores, the number would definitely be more than 86.
After paying 19.8 yuan, Gao Yan tried it out.
He rarely plays games, but after playing this one, he still found it somewhat interesting.
Similarly, Zhuo Jiangyue and Zheng Xiaoyu also paid to download and support the service.
So the three of them started playing games in the car.
More than twenty minutes later.
Zheng Xiaoyu said, "Gao Yan, your games are quite playable, but it's a pity they're paid games. If they were free, I believe even more people would play them!"
Why do you think so?
Gao Yan asked.
Zheng Xiaoyu said, "Players in our country all like free games. Look at the popular games right now, which one isn't free? Of course, it's not that you can actually make it free. You can charge for items, skins, or gacha mechanics!"
After hearing what Zheng Xiaoyu said, Gao Yan also felt that it made sense. Chinese people like free things. Just the fact that they have to pay has already kept a large number of people out.
Even though free-to-play games are actually more expensive than paid games, people still prefer so-called free-to-play games!
Thinking about this...
Gao Yan then sent another WeChat message to inquire how many people had purchased Qian Bao'er's previous game.
Qian Bao'er replied that the previous game had been on sale for more than half a year, and a total of 800,000 copies had been sold so far, at 15 yuan per copy.
That means the game sold for a total of 12 million yuan.
However, not all of this money goes to the game company; it also has to be shared with the platform.
Large platforms should receive 30% to 40%, while small and medium-sized platforms should receive 20%.
If we calculate based on 30%, then the amount received would only be 8.4 million.
After deducting development costs, employee salaries, and taxes...
A net profit of two million would be quite good.
No wonder Qian Bao'er's cash flow dried up when the second game ran into problems, and she had to sell her house to raise funds.
Next, Gao Yan asked Qian Bao'er what her estimated sales figures were for the new game.
Qian Bao'er told him that the new game was much more playable than the previous one, and because the previous game had already accumulated a certain reputation and fan base, the estimated sales of the new game should reach 1.5 million.
If we calculate based on 1.5 million sales, this game could eventually sell 30 million copies.
After deducting the platform's 30% commission, there's still 21 million left.
After deducting 20% for taxes and fees, there is still 16.8 million left.
After deducting development costs and employee salaries, the profit should reach 10 million.
Gao Yan owns 50% of the game company's shares, so he will receive 5 million.
