302: Making money again?
But Qian Ziyong didn't do that.
Instead, he chose a very difficult path.
Was Ziyong at odds with money?
He clearly had a profitable game he could have made, but instead, he chose to do something thankless and invest a huge amount in a game?
And it was a game with a purely Chinese style?
Qian Ziyong clearly knew that the Western fantasy style was the market and had a greater chance of success.
But why didn't Qian Ziyong choose the Western fantasy style and instead chose the Chinese style?
Because he was a pioneer!
Xiang Yang's video went viral!
Countless viewers were deeply moved and shared Xiang Yang's video.
Most importantly, Qian Ziyong spent 300 million yuan promoting Hey! Mythical Wukong.
This made the game incredibly popular, and countless people, whether they liked playing games or not, largely knew about this game.
Although they hadn't played Hey! Mythical Wukong, they had some understanding of it.
When they saw videos related to it, they would curiously click in to watch.
Under these circumstances, videos about Hey! Mythical Wukong were simply a traffic magnet.
And Xiang Yang's video was a blockbuster among blockbusters, naturally being pushed frantically by the platform.
Many viewers who watched this video became interested in Feihuang Group and were deeply touched by the word pioneer.
In any case, there was a lot of evidence that Qian Ziyong's real money investment in the game was absolutely genuine, with nothing to question.
Qian Ziyong could make money through games, and the game kitchen chaos was very successful, which was also true.
But Qian Ziyong didn't rest on kitchen chaos; instead, he embarked on a path of confrontation with external gaming companies, which was very admirable.
Just as Xiang Yang's video became popular, a major news story hit the headlines.
A well-known domestic company was restricted from chip supply by a foreign country, disallowing any high-end chips from flowing in.
At the same time, countless sanctions followed.
The United States had a sanction list, and all companies and products on the list would be blocked.
Immediately, countless people felt indignant.
Sanctioned again.
This wasn't the first time.
As long as it was high-end, and China might surpass them, it would be blocked.
Where was free trade?
Didn't the United States advocate free trade the most?
Why sanction this today and that tomorrow?
Freedom?
It's freedom when it benefits you.
It's a blockade when it's detrimental to you!
Democracy?
You hold high the banner of democracy while doing sneaky things!
As this incident fermented, Hey! Mythical Wukong also caught fire.
Those who dared to be pioneers were all worthy of admiration.
Especially some other Video Bloggers also published their works, immediately pushing the event to its peak.
A Video Blogger said, "It's not that there are no good game companies in China, nor is it that there are no game companies with outstanding strength."
"But these game companies don't think about making better games; instead, they think about monopolizing and making more money."
"Not only that, when another game company releases a game, it will change the name and skin, then directly copy the game."
"Because of its existence, countless game companies' hard-developed games simply go down the drain."
"Oh, right, please call it the Skin Manufacturer!"
Another Video Blogger also released a video titled, "Why Don't We Have Excellent 3A games?"
In the video, the Video Blogger accused, "We don't lack strong game companies; they have the strength to produce 3A games, but they don't."
"Because compared to spending several years painstakingly making a game, investing huge amounts of capital, and facing high risks."
"It's very easy to make a skin with just two or three people working for a few weeks."
"And the revenue from one skin can catch up to a 3A game."
"Under these circumstances, why not release more skins? Why bother making 3A games?"
...
Many players hoped that more good games would appear in China, and coupled with foreign sanctions, players were instantly enraged.
Countless people supported Hey! Mythical Wukong online.
This was also because Hey! Mythical Wukong's game quality was excellent, much better than that game skin company.
Especially with the new ending of Hey! Mythical Wukong, the exquisite CG was just like watching a movie.
Countless viewers were attracted to Hey! Mythical Wukong and purchased this game.
In just seven days, Hey! Mythical Wukong's sales soared to 2.5 billion, charging towards 3 billion.
Qian Ziyong, in his villa, learned this news and felt like the sky had fallen.
"What's going on?"
"How did Hey! Mythical Wukong suddenly become popular?"
"United States, why do you sanction this and that?"
"It's because of your influence that my game became popular!"
Qian Ziyong cursed the United States.
But then he thought, the United States often sanctions this and that; this is his consistent operation.
So, during the game's release, there was a high probability of encountering a United States sanction event.
Was the United States not the main reason for the game's explosion?
Then what was the main reason for the game's explosion?
Qian Ziyong thought carefully and concluded that there were two main reasons why the game became popular.
First, he invested too much in advertising, letting too many people know about Hey! Mythical Wukong.
Second, it was because of Xiang Yang's video; he played out the King of Demons ending, overly misinterpreting the game.
The biggest reason was that Video Blogger Xiang Yang.
He created something called a pioneer, which made countless people feel very good about him.
"If it weren't for Xiang Yang, players might not even know that the game had a King of Demons ending."
"Most players should be stuck at the Big Head Boss, just like me!"
Qian Ziyong regretted it so much.
If only he had known, he wouldn't have spent so much money promoting the game.
How great would it have been if he had invested all that money into Feihuang Restaurant?
There wouldn't have been so much trouble!
Qian Ziyong felt that it was probably because he invested too much money, letting countless people know about Hey! Mythical Wukong.
The popularity had already risen.
It was equivalent to him laying the dynamite for the game's explosion, and Xiang Yang's video was the fuse.
And the foreign sanctions on chips were the fire that lit the fuse.
The three combined immediately ignited Hey! Mythical Wukong, causing the game to become a huge hit!
"It's over! It's over!"
"There are still three days until the system settlement, and I currently have 200 million in funds."
"Plus the more than 1 billion earned from the game, won't I be making a profit again this system settlement?"
Qian Ziyong was heartbroken.
He called Ye Xiaoqin.
Upon receiving Qian Ziyong's call, Ye Xiaoqin was very excited: "Boss, congratulations! Congratulations! Our game is making a huge profit!"
Hearing Xiaoqin's words, Qian Ziyong's heart ached even more; he felt dizzy and couldn't catch his breath.
