"Global shooting strategy gas have been overshadowed by 'Operation Annihilate,' with an estimated market share domination of over 80%."
"Experts say 'Operation Annihilate' is superbly crafted and its engine and rendering capabilities surpass the top-level ga engines on the market by more than five years. They predict that for the next five years, no other ga in terms of quality will be able to compete with it."
"Steam delists 'PUBG,' shifting the focus of the ga's operations."
"Blitznet delists 'Overwatch Battlefield,' disbands the team, and transfers core developers and operators to the 'World of Warcraft' team. Blitznet's manager claims that the company will invest 20 million US dollars in team optimization and expansion, further strengthening the market competitiveness!"
...
"Damn right, this ti our Huaxia gas have truly risen, directly flipping over so many established ga companies."
"Can't help it, such a powerful VR ga, plus the ga costs are so low, it's practically a dinsionality reduction attack. With proper promotion, this result is not at all surprising."
"It's still Zhang nglong's aweso move. Have you heard of getting houses and cars for playing gas? Even my dad, who's in his fifties, is fighting with a Kar98k on the battlefield."
"Stop it, bro, my grandpa is playing it."
"I dreamt that my ancestors ca to
in a dream to get my whole family to play together. Who can resist such temptation!"
...
"Zhang nglong, can we start preparing the recharge system now?" According to Ma Hua's usual style, once the traffic is up, not making money is asshole play!
"What's the rush?" Zhang nglong didn't care about making money at all, "When we've killed off all other companies and we're the only one left, do you still worry about not making money?"
In fact, you can't bla Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi for being so anxious. After all, their companies had taken a big hit recently. Although the ga hadn't monetized yet, costs for operations personnel, advertising, etc., were still pouring out. Even though they were wealthy, it still hurt. "Check your emails," Zhang nglong said calmly.
The two exchanged glances, then opened their emails, only to see a list of companies and contact thods in their inbox.
"These people ca to
a few days ago, wanting to obtain the agency rights for 'Operation Annihilate'!" In fact, when the Cashew Company obtained the Aricas agency rights for 'Operation Annihilate' a few days ago, many companies started to contact him by all ans, hoping to acquire the agency rights for various regions.
Of course, Zhang nglong ignored them. As a cad, he knew how to fish—when your bait is good enough, you never have to worry about not catching fish.
Seeing the rising download numbers in the Cashew Store these past few days, these ga companies are getting anxious one by one. If there's only one battlefield shooter ga that can survive on the market, it's undoubtedly 'Operation Annihilate.' Obtaining the agency rights early, who worries about not getting their share of the benefits later?
Of course, Zhang nglong was well aware that these ga agents would definitely start with high demands, so he decided to string them along for a while. Then they would realize who was in need and who truly held the power.
"You two bosses can take care of the agency rights negotiations. I don't care how much you negotiate for the revenue share, whatever you secure is yours, but I want half of this ga's revenue."
Their eyes suddenly lit up. Strictly speaking, Zhang nglong was actually the developer of this ga, and their companies would be considered agents. Usually, ga developers wouldn't be able to secure such a high percentage.
But this didn't apply to Zhang nglong. They had originally hoped to get a 30% revenue share from Zhang nglong, which would have been quite good. But this far exceeded their expectations!
Of course, they wanted to make more money. It was impossible for the two companies to fight each other. Haggling with Zhang nglong again would be utterly stupid, so if they wanted to make money, they had to squeeze those agents!
"Leiya Gas? Sony Gas..." Ma Hua smiled as he recognized one familiar friend after another on the list.
He still rembered when there was a foreign boycott against Huaxia gas and players, these "old friends" were the first to stand on the opposing side.
All talk of friendly cooperation and mutual developnt was nonsense. They were quicker than anyone when it ca to kicking soone when they were down.
And they even demanded a large sum of money as compensation for damaging their brand image, and reduced the commission share for Tengxun ga agencies. Ma Hua hadn't forgotten any of these actions.
And now, they were all lining up in wait, eager to obtain the distribution rights for their gas—wasn't this an ironic reversal of fortune? Ma Hua's mind was already filled with such images.
"Aren't you all mighty? Don't you think your gas are the best in the world? If you're that capable, don't co seeking to license our Huaxia gas!"
"You want to be an agent? First, pay up!"
An excited smile lit up Ding Sanshi's face, too. He had already thought of how to disgust these fair-weather friends, and now they had the chance for revenge and to air their grievances!
...
"Gentlen, we can start launching 'Divine King's World' now!" Zhang nglong announced.
"Just one?" Ding Sanshi was taken aback. Why launch only one? Their gas were currently riding a wave of popularity, and releasing all of them would surely create a sensational impact.
"Mr. Zhang, since we're going to release the remaining 13 gas anyway, why not do it all at once?" Ma Hua asked. "Wouldn't that make the impact even more stunning?"
"That won't do!" Zhang nglong said with a smile. "If I kill them with a single slap, that's no fun at all. I like to play it slow."
Zhang nglong continued, "The Cashew Company has already pulled 'Overwatch Battlefield' from their shelves and is channeling all their financial and human resources into 'World of Warcraft,' right? Not just them, but several other companies are also focusing their gas on the role-playing genre."
"Just imagine, once they've poured in all their resources, ti, and money, and then suddenly, a ga that can instantly crush theirs appears on the market. What do you think will happen to them? The sa goes for other gas!"
"Hiss!" Zhang nglong's words sent chills down Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi's spines.
If Zhang nglong were to release all of their gas at once, they would essentially dominate most of the market. It's true that even if other ga companies tried anything, they wouldn't be able to compete with them.
But these companies had survived until now for a reason—they had their ways of thriving. It was possible for them to find so gaps to live in among these 14 types of gas.
And this was predicated on the assumption they still had enough manpower and resources to get through the transition period.
If they couldn't pull off the big client-based gas, they could completely switch to developing mini-gas—aren't so small mobile and online gas making tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, in monthly revenue?
Once they released all of their gas, opponents would be imdiately aware and could quickly change strategy, focusing all their funds and manpower where it's needed most.
But what if they released the gas one by one?
Every ti a new ga cos out, the companies would have to redirect their staff and funding to another ga. By the ti they've spent all their money, another ga could be rolled out.
By then, they would have invested heavily, but a new, superior ga would erge, leaving them with nothing.
It's like you've worked for ten years, finally saved up so money, made the down paynt on a house and you're about to propose to your dream girl. Then suddenly, a rich second-generation guy appears, flaunting his sports car and mansion—how are you supposed to compete? The girl leaves with him, and you're left with a load of debt.
This was precisely the effect Zhang nglong wanted to achieve!
"Alas, bamboo shoots!"
"All the bamboo shoots on the mountain have been snatched up by you!"
Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi couldn't help feeling relieved that they were on the sa side as Zhang nglong. This man was not only frightening but also damn cunning!
"Challenging my bottom line?" Zhang nglong didn't feel the least bit cruel. Survival of the fittest is the way of nature, the sa goes for business competition, and more so because Leiya Gas had hit his breaking point, "Sorry, but I have a very bad temper!"
