At that time, Wan Feng thought that the copyright fee of 10,000 was not a small amount. It was only the copyright of the paper book and did not include the right to adapt it into any movie or animation.
Wan Feng doubted whether Haiyang Lan or Jin He understood these things at the time, but he did not do anything to deceive them.
His family is big and powerful, so there is no need for him to do such things as deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates.
Both Ocean Blue and Jinhe accepted this clause and sold the copyright of the paper book to Nanwan Publishing House.
After the book number is approved, the book is sent to Hongya Printing Factory for printing, and then the distribution channels are contacted for distribution.
Wan Feng was unsure about the first printing as he only printed 10,000 copies. He also had no idea how many of these books could be sold.
The book is priced at around ten yuan, and the discount is 35%.
At that time, there were book markets in Wahou and Bohai Shenyang, and these books were sent to the book markets in these three regions.
The book fair at Wahou Market was established in recent years, probably no more than five years.
It was established together with the audio-visual market, and there were about thirty or forty booksellers.
More than 300 books were sent to each person, and the promise of returns if the books were not sold allowed these books to enter the market smoothly.
As for how these books sell, that will take some time to digest.
At 7:00 PM on September 5, 2000, "Legend" began its public beta test.
Before the public beta, we advertised on Xinlang.com, Qidian.com and Qiansou.com for several consecutive days.
Wan Feng really wanted to invite Zha Zha Hui, and really wanted to hear him say, "Hello, I am Zha Zha Hui."
However, although Nick Cheung acted in movies every year at that time, he was not really popular. Although "God of Gamblers 2000" had good box office, that was due to the fame of Stephen Chow.
So inviting him now will not be of much use in spreading the game's popularity.
We didn’t hire anyone for later advertising.
Huaguang Online Game initially opened three zones, each of which could accommodate about 5,000 people.
The server at that time could accommodate up to 8,000 people, but Huaguang only allowed 5,000 people considering the network environment at the time. If more people were allowed, there might be lag.
After the public beta started, people came online like dumplings, and the three zones were full overnight.
When Huaguang Network’s backend saw that it was filling up so quickly, it immediately opened three reserve areas.
This time, the three districts were filled up much faster than the previous three districts, and they were full in less than a day.
Huaguang Network was busy setting up the server and then opened four more zones. By the time the Olympics opened, all ten zones were fully staffed.
Half a month after the public beta began, "Legend" point cards were officially put on sale.
Originally, these point cards were intended to be sold at the Nanwan direct sales store, but considering that it would be inconvenient for players to play, they were finally bundled with Internet cafes.
Internet cafes act as agents for these point cards, and the website gets a commission of one yuan for each card sold.
The point cards issued by Huaguang are very different from the point cards issued by Shengda in the previous life.
Shengda discovered that the point card was 35 yuan per card, valid for 120 hours.
The point cards issued by Huaguang are much more user-friendly, costing 30 yuan each and lasting 150 hours.
It is five yuan cheaper than Shengda in the previous life and the duration is extended by thirty hours.
In 2003, Shengda's revenue reached 633 million yuan, with an average daily revenue of nearly 2 million yuan, which means that more than 50,000 people bought his 35-yuan point cards every day.
Although the point card is on the market, the game will not be charged for two months. The charging date is set for November 5th.
In his previous life, Cheng Tianjiao made hundreds of millions of yuan with this game, and during this period he was even involved in a lawsuit with the game manufacturer from Han Country, which lasted for a year.
The maximum number of online players in this game is 600,000, not including those playing on private servers.
Wan Feng is very clear that plug-ins and private servers are factors that can kill an online game, so the management of private servers and plug-ins is very strict.
There were quite a few private servers in the early days of "Legend", but there were not many plug-ins.
Therefore, the focus of the crackdown is mainly on private servers, just like dealing with the pirated website of Qidian. Once they are caught, they will directly hack into the opponent's server.
Anyway, the top hackers in the country are all in Huaguang, so they still have this technology.
He doesn't have time to play cat and mouse with these evil people.
Of course, it would be even better if you could strengthen the security level of your own game so that the other party cannot clone it.
If Shengda had managed the game "Legend" well, it would have been popular for many years like Westward Journey Online. I haven't seen anyone playing this game in 2019.
But Shengda, who was trying to catch fish in a dry pond, ended up killing himself.
In 2005, "Legend" started its free mode, but players found that once the game became free, they actually spent much more money than before.
As long as you have money, you can buy all the equipment. It is even more advanced than Shi Yuzhu's game at that time, so it is inevitable that it will be abandoned in the end.
A few years later, Shengda came back under the guise of sentiment. When the old players went in, they found that Shengda really took himself seriously and had not changed his previous bad habits at all.
This time the players left and never came back.
Shengda's business philosophy was fundamentally different from that of Tengxun at the time. Mahua Zhuo hoped that a thousand people would recharge one dollar each, while Cheng Tianjiao wanted one person to recharge one thousand dollars. It was understandable that Shengda eventually fell into decline.
In this life, the game is managed by Wan Feng. He knows the reasons for the decline of "Legend" and will certainly not repeat the same mistakes.
He told all his experiences to Ma Ting, who was in charge of these projects, hoping that he could manage the game well.
Half a month after the Legend game began its public beta, the Great Wall sedan, which the group had high hopes for, was finally launched on the market.
It has a non-load-bearing structure and is equipped with Nanwan’s self-produced 482T engine, a five-speed manual transmission, and Nanwan’s own rotary suspension.
Four-door, five-seater 2.0T.
Driver's seat airbag, passenger airbag, front side airbags, electronic anti-theft, central locking system, remote control key;
ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD, body stability control, and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
The leather steering wheel can be adjusted up and down, front and back, leather seats, front center armrest, rear center armrest, front cup holders, car phone, multi-disc CD changer, xenon headlights, high-mounted brake lights, and interior reading lights.
Front power windows, rear power windows, power mirrors, heated mirrors, sun visor vanity mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, automatic air conditioning, and rear air vents.
Fuel consumption is seven liters per 100 kilometers.
This is the configuration of this Great Wall car, and there is only one version. When the car rolled off the production line, the main leaders of the government departments personally came to Nan Dawan to preside over the car's roll-out ceremony.
Wan Feng is personally quite satisfied with this car. Apart from the lack of outstanding power, this car is acceptable in every way.
The city government officials who came to appraise the vehicle were also very satisfied after seeing the actual vehicle.
It is dignified and majestic, especially the abstract logo of the Great Wall in the middle of the front face, which has a strong national flavor.
The market price is 220,000 yuan, and the government procurement price is 280,000 yuan.
This car was decided.
