Chapter 361: A Company That Specializes in Creating Miracles
Everyone stared in astonishment as the download numbers for the game 'Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach' soared.
Especially on the 27th and 28th of December, the number of players directly surpassed 6 million, and this data was still rising rapidly.
It was estimated that breaking through 8 million by the 30th would not be a big problem.
Most importantly, the in-game items were selling like hot cakes.
Those gaming experts might still try to challenge the hero leaderboard.
But for those ordinary players, even those who couldn't complete the game, finishing it was hopeless.
They might as well buy some items to enjoy the pleasure of killing Japanese devils.
Especially after releasing the visuals of the final level, even players who didn't plan to spend money started buying items.
Just to have a chance to confront Yamamoto.
You see, the game items ranged from a few yuan to tens of yuan, with the most expensive item, the Type 97 Tank, costing as much as 299 yuan.
On the first day the item functions went live, the game earned over 800,000 yuan.
And on the 27th of December, when the boss video of the final level was released, the game's revenue directly welcomed a surge.
Just on the 27th of December alone, the game's revenue reached over 6 million yuan.
It was insane.
Completely insane.
The entire gaming industry went completely crazy.
Everyone stared in astonishment, watching the events unfold.
Feeling their spirits were greatly impacted.
A game so simple, it couldn't be simpler.
When it was first launched, no one paid any attention to it.
Yet in just a few days, it created millions of downloads.
Of course, this could be explained by the fact that it was a free game.
But who would have thought that Feifan Technology would immediately launch paid features.
And they only sold items, even charging for skins.
As game developers, everyone could see at a glance what this was about, it was clearly all about making money.
But who would have thought the players would actually fall for this trick?
Earning a crazy 6 million yuan.
And that was just from one day's earnings.
Had all the players gone mad?
What's so fun about such a broken game?
A group of game developers inwardly cursed bitterly.
It's not surprising they were going crazy, it was just too unbelievable.
You know, compared to the games they spent heavily developing, a game like 'Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach' was incomparable in terms of graphics, story, character development...
This game's development process probably didn't even take two months.
Yet such a game was beating them to a pulp.
Who could they reason with about this?
Anyone would be left in tears over this.
Of course, there was also a portion of sensible game developers who expressed eye-opening realizations.
So this is how games could be developed?
So this is how money could be made?
Some media analyzed the reasons behind 'Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach' becoming a hit.
One was leveraging Go Navigation Home's massive user base for promotion. Two was the completely free game strategy.
Three was the simple, fun gameplay. Four was the constant stream of new gameplay gimmicks...
Five was the game's small size, with almost no requirements for computer specs.
Even the crappiest black net cafe could easily run it.
Of course, there was also netizens' innate passion for killing Japanese devils.
Combining all these points led to the explosive popularity of the seemingly simple game 'Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach'.
Of course, the media analysis only guessed part of the reason.
Because very soon, Feifan Technology brought everyone an even bigger shock.
On New Year's Day.
Feifan Technology made a major announcement that the company was officially launching its second product.
Feifan Security Guard.
Go Navigation Home and Feifan Antivirus immediately promoted it.
Many netizens downloaded and tried it out of curiosity.
But trying it was no big deal.
They discovered this software was simply a godsend.
My computer, computer check-up, virus scanning and removal, computer cleaning, optimization and acceleration, system repair...
Each function was very clearly labeled.
And the operation was extremely simple, just needing a mouse click.
All functions required no more than three mouse clicks to operate.
Even the most computer-illiterate netizens could easily use it.
In this era, most people were still using just two fingers to type, not really understanding computer anti-virus software. The emergence of Feifan Security Guard was simply like the descent of a savior.
Just one mouse click, and all the junk inside the computer was detected and could be cleaned with one click.
If the computer's startup was slow, no problem, it could also be optimized and accelerated...
If the computer's internet speed was slow? Full of issues? No problem, the security guard could also be used to inspect and repair it...
When Feifan Technology launched this, the industry was shaken.
The media even directly described Feifan Security Guard as "a revolutionary product."
"A company that specializes in creating miracles," another media outlet used this headline to report on Feifan Technology.
Once again, Feifan Technology reappeared in people's vision.
The media told everyone that Feifan Technology was established less than two years ago, but its product Feifan Antivirus had already become the undisputed No.1 in the industry, with an 80% market share.
There was also Go Navigation Home. Although Feifan Technology didn't admit it, everyone knew this web navigation was also Feifan Technology's product, since the company heavily promoted it when it was first released.
Of course, there was also the game 'Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach' that had been explosively popular these past few days, with the player count surpassing 8 million since its launch.
It was estimated that from this game alone, Feifan Technology could earn close to 10 million yuan per day.
And of course, the most important product, Feifan Security Guard.
This was a product that truly created miracles.
How did Feifan Security Guard create miracles?
From the first day it launched on New Year's Day to the 5th day of the New Year, in just five short days, Feifan Security Guard's download count broke through 20 million.
How long did it take to go from zero to 1 million downloads?
One day.
And how long did it take to go from 1 million to 5 million downloads?
16 hours.
This was a speed that would make any domestic internet company drool with envy.
More importantly, this data was still rising exponentially at a terrifying rate.
The media predicted that this product would likely break through 30 million downloads within a month.
You have to know, there are only 60 million netizens in the country.
It reached a 50% market share in just one month.
How terrifying is that?
Several media reports were unstinting in their praise for Feifan Technology.
In the end, all media outlets used the same concluding line:
Although Feifan Technology is very young, it has already become an internet company that specializes in creating miracles.
Looking forward to their next miracle.
The overwhelming media coverage immediately attracted the attention of netizens across the country.
Many people who previously didn't know or understand Feifan Technology began actively paying attention to this internet company based in Yunhai.
Some even took the initiative to download and experience Feifan Security Guard.
And once they experienced it, they would unhesitatingly become a loyal user of Feifan Security Guard.
Facing such a craze, some TV stations even produced a special program inviting several experts in relevant fields to discuss Feifan Technology's products.
On the program, one relevant expert analyzed for a while, and finally concluded:
The security guard would be a good product, but to achieve a 50% market share would likely require at least half a year to a year.
Because no product could be liked by everyone.
Going from zero to ten is easy, but going from zero to one hundred is very difficult.
For Feifan Security Guard to capture half the number of netizens, there is still a long way to go.
However, soon after the program aired, everyone quickly realized that the program team and the experts had all been proven wrong.
