Chapter 85
Games that add in-app purchases often have a certain lag in terms of revenue generation.
Just like Angry Birds, this game is paid for download, occasionally free for free or free version, so their biggest benefit comes from the player's payment and advertising revenue during download.
Although Yang Huan expressed high hopes for the game of cutting ropes, he never thought of making a big profit with this game.
The reason is very simple, it doesn't look like a game that can make a lot of money.
Moreover, Yang Huan doesn’t like to add advertisements to the game, so in the first two months of release, the entire game’s income can be said to be bleak, and it is even inconsistent with its fame.
If we calculate based on the current number of downloads, the minimum number of downloads of 10 million and the minimum consumption of 99 cents is 9.9 million US dollars, which is funny. Cutting the rope has brought tens of thousands of dollars in revenue to WeChat companies until now.
But Yang Huan still didn't care about it. The reason is very simple. The free in-buy game itself is a way to get back to the top.
If you make a big profit from the beginning, it may not be a good thing.
Just like the performance on the list, except for the initial publicity and promotion, WeChat company officials have hardly made any contribution. At best, they invite some review websites to conduct reviews, and more rely on the reputation of players to develop.
The reason is very simple. Most of the users attracted by the hype are here to join in the fun rather than to play games.
So in September and October, cutting ropes look very hot, but in fact the income is not high.
"Our income in October has increased significantly compared to before, exceeding our previous estimate of £500,000, and basically reach £700,000. If we deduct the share of Apple, we can get £500,000."
Zhu Liangcheng still admires this very much.
Because from beginning to end of this game, all the creativity is provided by Yang Huan, and even the details and detection of the game are checked by Yang Huan himself, and they just do it according to Yang Huan's requirements.
As a result, this game is really popular!
Now, when everyone in the entire WeChat company mentioned Yang Huan, they were like gods.
When Yang Huan said she wanted to do WeChat, everyone, including Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin, thought it was not worth it, but Yang Huan decided to do it. Now the total WeChat users are developing at an extremely fast speed.
Later, Yang Huan said he wanted to make a game, but Zhu Liangcheng, Wang Lin and others didn't know how to do it, so Yang Huan made a plan and made a rope cut. As a result, this game became very popular all over the world, and even overwhelmed the Angry Birds.
"The outside world is now very good at evaluating us, believing that our development is very stable and may enter the top ten of the revenue list in December, so we plan to release a new version on Halloween this month, and release a Christmas version on Christmas, and do some activities to mention the momentum."
Yang Huan nodded, "It's better to be more stable. You have finally reached the top of the free list, so you can't fall off easily."
This ranking is itself the strongest and most powerful advertising promotion.
"If you have revenue, you don't need to consider it for the time being. You will increase your efforts to develop and retain users."
Zhu Liangcheng also thought so, "We now have about five million daily active users, which is very amazing."
This is also why those authoritative media and websites are so optimistic about this game, and the retention rate is amazing.
For a free game with in-app purchases, retention rates often represent rich income.
"By the way, how are you preparing for the new version of WeChat's Christmas?" Yang Huan asked with concern.
In this new version, Yang Huan decided to add an innovative feature to WeChat, which is to view people nearby.
In Yang Huan's opinion, this is undoubtedly a very interesting feature, because everyone has the desire to spy. Even when you understand and you are spying on others, others are also spying on you. That feeling is very wonderful.
So he placed high hopes on this function, hoping to increase the number of users again.
"It's basically the same, and I just contacted Ms. Zhang, and it may be updated simultaneously in Asia at that time."
Speaking of which, WeChat is very diligent in updating. In less than three months, multiple versions have been updated.
And what's even more rare is that every update can always introduce some new special features.
There is no doubt that these functions all come from Yang Huan's head.
"Okay, you can do these things."
Yang Huan doesn't like to interfere in such things, just like Andres Ihaan, who came to sell and made gift cards before, Yang Huan gave him money, gave him the office space, and then ignored him.
I still don't know how it is going.
"I'll go to the game team to check it out. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do, especially Sun Yue, who said I'm in seclusion!"
Yang Huan knew that Aston Martin would definitely come to him, and they would definitely lose this lawsuit. If you don’t want to lose all your face, it would be best to come to the door to apologize and seek reconciliation.
There is also the Shengxi Yacht, which may come to you.
However, before Kesh Harris's intelligence came out, he did not plan to meet them.

Urich Bates is very respected in the automotive field because he has held important positions in Ferrari, Ford and other companies. He is also BMW's first technical director and designed a number of classic models for BMW.
More importantly, he is not just the CEO of Aston Martin. He is also a scholar with high academic achievement, a writer and researcher of more than 40 authoritative scientific publications.
But such a respected automobile expert now has to face the mess of Aston Martin.
Even, in order to avoid a lawsuit that would make Aston Martin lose all face, he had to whisper to apologize in a low voice.
The problem is that they don’t even meet you.
"Mr. Bates."
When Sun Yue walked into the hospitality room, Urich Bates, the old Mediterranean man with gray hair, was staring blankly in front of him, wondering what was wrong in his mind.
After hearing Sun Yue’s shout, Urich Bates suddenly woke up and stood up, “Mr. Sun, is there any news?”
"Sorry, Mr. Bates, I just called. Mr. Yang's assistant said that after Mr. Yang rushed back to Southampton from Poole the day before yesterday, he went to our network company to deal with some emergency incidents. He has been busy these two days."
Speaking of this, Sun Yue expressed his apology and said, "We Mr. Yang is not just the boss. In fact, he is also a very creative and thoughtful engineer. You should have known us. WeChat and that game are both Mr. Yang's ideas."
He is a good car man and respects Urich Bates very much and cannot speak coldly to him.
Urich Bates was also mentally prepared, "Why don't you know when I will see him?"
"I can't guarantee this." Sun Yue said apologetically.
Seeing Urich Bates a little disappointed, Sun Yue remembered Yang Huan's explanation before and added, "Maybe it can be done tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, we Mr. Yang is a hardcore fan. Tomorrow at this St. Mary's Stadium, we Southampton will face Brighton, the strongest champion of the season. Mr. Yang will definitely be there in person. He will never miss any Southampton game."
It turns out that he is still such a fanatical football fan!
Urich Bates was born in Germany and a country that almost regarded football as his belief, so he himself was a football enthusiast. After learning about Yang Huan's interest, he also gained some gains.
"I heard that Manuel Neuer, the national goal of our German national team, is in your team." Urich Bates felt much more relaxed. Since he could see him tomorrow, he would not be in a hurry.
"Yes, Mr. Bates, maybe we can arrange for you to meet him tomorrow."
"Okay, I will definitely come!" Urich Bates showed his first smiling face in the past few days.
But my heart was still full of uneasiness. I wonder if I could negotiate if I saw that Chinese young master who was rich and wealthy tomorrow?

South Coast, Poole.
Robert Bryce White finally convinced the bank in the City of London, and the other party agreed to postpone the repayment period again.
But he was only given three days.
He must make the final decision within three days, otherwise...
After hanging up the phone, Bryce White sighed deeply.
After more than thirty years of hard work, he really didn't expect that he would be today.
He once thought that as the world's top yacht brands, they could stand on the ocean of this blue planet for a long time, but a financial tsunami hit, causing all his beautiful fantasies to disappear.
He has seen all this clearly now.
It turns out that what world famous brands and what sea Rolls-Royce are all capital operations after all.
"How is it?" Steward McEntire asked quickly.
He has also worked in this company for thirty years and has feelings for him. He doesn't want to see this company go bankrupt.
Unlike Bryce White, he is more about starting from the interests of the company, while Bryce White also has to consider his own interests.
"Three days, we only have three days left." Bryce White looked helpless.
McEntel had no choice. He had tens of thousands of pounds, but he had millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and he had no more.
"Perhaps we should talk to the Irish again," McCentel suggested.
That was the most talked with Shengxi and the most sincere acquirer.
But they are private equity capital. After the acquisition, they must try their best to improve the company's performance and then sell it to earn the intermediate price difference.
"Stewold, do you really think it's appropriate to sell it to those Irish people?" Bryce White asked with concern.
McEntel spread his hands with a wry smile, "We have no choice, don't we?"
"That Chinese..."
"He is certainly better than private equity, but we don't know how strong his willingness to acquire is, and we must make considerable concessions in terms of price."
This will definitely harm the interests of the Bryce White family, after all, this yacht company is their family industry.
Bryce White stood up and walked to the office window. From the window, it was seen that opposite was the backwater passage of Upton Lake. The row of buildings on the shore were the shipbuilding workshops of the Shengxi Yacht Company. Although it was old, every bit was filled with the feelings and efforts of the two brothers over the past thirty years.
"The times are different. We are all old, and we are so old that we can't keep up with the times!"
Bryce White's sighing words resonated with McCentanyle.
They are about the same age and have fought side by side for more than 30 years.
Chapter completed!
