This also led some players of "Honor of Kings" to download "Honor of Kings World" in order to experience Yao's 3D model.
Meanwhile, "Honor of Kings World" also launched a new card pool called the Skin Card Pool.
Yao's skin, Flying Dragon General, is the first character skin in "Honor of Kings World" to be released in the gacha pool.
Furthermore, the first card pool also features an event where recharges are directly doubled. That is, if you previously recharged 100 and got 100 game coins, now you recharge 100 and get 200 game coins.
The event immediately sparked enthusiasm among players.
The revenue from the gacha pool in "Honor of Kings World" has set a new record.
Little Ma was very happy. This time, he had indeed made the right choice in judging people. This Chen Hongfa was indeed a talented person.
Lin Chen said the same thing in his office.
"The person who came up with this plan is truly a talent."
Dawei asked anxiously, "Boss, what should we do?"
"What should we deal with?"
"Huh? This 'King of Glory World' is about to be revitalized, shouldn't we show our support?"
"You're right."
"How about we release a skin gacha pool too?"
"No, we'll give you the skin."
"ah?"
"Let's hold an event where if you complete the daily tasks for 7 consecutive days, we'll give you a skin for Ayaka Kamisato."
"But boss, we haven't designed any skins for Ayaka Kamisato."
"Are you stupid? Couldn't we use the image of Ayaka Kamisato in samurai attire from the PV to design a skin?"
Dawei's eyes lit up: "That's right! That Kamisato Ayaka in the samurai outfit is so cool, a lot of players like her."
"Yes, we have the original artwork now, so we can release the event announcement directly. It shouldn't take too much time to design it."
"Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
As he walked out of Lin Chen's office, Brother Dawei shook his head.
Sure enough, my boss is all talk and no action, saying things like "whatever you want to do," but in reality, he's already got all the dirty tricks planned out.
Other companies sell skins, but you give them away for free. How are players supposed to choose?
Soon after, Genshin Impact updated its event announcement, revealing that the next character in the gacha banner would be Ayato Kamisato. But that's not the main point; the main point is that participating in the event will give away Ayato Kamisato's skin!
"Oh my god, Lin Gou, I'll just spend money, okay? This gacha pool only has two days left, and you give me this terrible pull?"
"Aaaaah, Lin Gou, have some decency! I've gone astray. I was thinking of quitting, but now I have no choice but to spend money. Waaaaah, my wallet is crying."
During the last two days of the gacha banner featuring Ayaka Kamisato, revenue surged again due to the upcoming release of her new skin.
Moreover, the revenue from "Honor of Kings World" was suddenly cut off, and it decreased significantly.
Players are all complaining.
"The developers of 'Honor of Kings World' should take a look at 'Genshin Impact' next door. They give away skins for free, but you guys still have to create a skin gacha pool to make money."
"Exactly, that's so TX."
"The game quality may not be as good as others, but their money-grabbing tactics are truly masterful."
"I'm quitting. I might as well play Genshin Impact instead."
The next day, when Little Ma saw the report data, he was dumbfounded. What happened? The transaction volume was pretty good yesterday, so how did it suddenly stop?
I quickly called someone to find out what was going on.
After learning the details, Brother Ma got so angry that he threw his phone away again.
Lin Chen, you little brat, you're not even human!
What's wrong with letting me make some money? What's wrong with making some money? I ask for skins and you give me skins for free? Can't you be a human being?!
Lin Chen: Who told you to stab me in the back?
Little Ma sighed. He knew that Lin Chen wouldn't let him off so easily. In the future, whenever Tencent wanted to make any moves in the mobile game industry, Xingchen Technology would immediately target them. Moreover, with Lin Chen's shady tactics, Tencent's projects would definitely fail one after another.
Take a deep breath.
Suppressing his anger, Little Ma began to think of a solution.
Star Technology is now a behemoth comparable to Tencent, and Tencent can no longer control it.
Moreover, as a leading internet company in Shanghai, Xingchen Technology is in no way inferior to Tencent in terms of status, nor is it lagging behind Tencent in terms of policy.
Therefore, it is pointless to target them through means other than commercial ones.
Now, the only way to deal with Star Technology is through fair and square business dealings; this is something the authorities cannot interfere with.
But now I'm suffering defeat after defeat, and I have no confidence whatsoever.
After thinking for a long time, Little Ma slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "I've got it!"
Huh? Why does this sound so familiar?
Little Ma shook his head, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible his plan seemed.
He analyzed and summarized that Xingchen Technology's core businesses are actually all on the mobile end, such as Huasuan.com, Huasuan Pay, MiTalk, Pinduoduo, Panda TV, and various mobile games, all of which are mobile internet applications.
There are almost no applications that are truly focused on the PC platform!
Lin Chen seems to have a particularly high opinion of mobile devices, and even personally joined Lei Jun in manufacturing mobile phones.
But Tencent (TX) actually made its fortune on the PC platform!
Pony Ma gave a wry smile. How could he have forgotten his biggest advantage? On the PC platform, what does Xingchen Technology have to fight with?
So, Pony called the director of the game department.
What PC online games does our company have that haven't been released yet?
"Mr. Ma, that's all. The PC online game market is quite sluggish right now, and everyone is rushing to develop mobile games."
"Not a single one?"
"There is another one, League of Legends, but that's a game from the US. Our company has invested in it, but it hasn't been introduced to China yet. The game is already available in the US, Europe, and Korea, and the response has been quite good."
"Okay, then let's bring this game to China. Tencent will use this game to turn things around and defeat StarCraft Technology!"
"But Mr. Ma, I received information that the shares of this game company were previously held by TX and two other investment banks, but later the shares of those two investment banks were acquired by a company called STAR."
"It's normal for foreign investment banks to resell shares. As long as we have shares, we can apply to become the exclusive agent in China. Let's get it done quickly."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Three days later, the head of Riot Games called Lin Chen and told him that Tencent wanted the exclusive distribution rights in China. He asked if Lin Chen should give them to him, since Lin Chen was now the largest shareholder of Riot Games and was from the same country as Tencent.
Lin Chen said he had no objection at all. "Someone is helping me make money, why should I disagree? From now on, I just need to lie down and count the money."
However, speaking of this, I do need to make time to visit South Korea.
