Chapter 353 Battle.net Points!
"What's going on?" Li Zetian asked hurriedly.
Bushnell replied: "Hundreds of players blocked the company's door and protested. They said that they were not connected to the Internet at home and could not play Counter-Strike and Red Alert, and said that Flamingo discriminated against non-Internet players!"
"That's all..." Li Zetian was immediately amused and cried, and immediately said, "Just ask them to install the Internet at home."
Bushnell said: "The cost of accessing the Internet is not cheap, so many families naturally do not open Internet services. Moreover, the previous press conference of Flamingo Company was a bit disturbing. Many parents knew that their children were asking them to open the Internet for the sake of playing games, so they disagreed even more! So, those players who could not connect to the Internet came to our company for a fuss!"
"This is a trouble!" Li Zetian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "This is how, Bushnell, you can let the workers produce "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" game CD 6 immediately..."
When Bushnell heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but interrupt: "Mr·li, aren't we launching these two games to develop the Battle.com platform? Isn't your game CD going in the opposite direction?"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Haha, I haven't said whether I'm playing or not, it's your rush. Each game disc has a unique game serial number attached to it. Players who purchase the game disc can use the game serial number to activate the game on the Battle Network platform if they are connected to the Internet in the future. Once the game is activated, they will immediately bind to his Battle Network account. The game serial number will be invalidated and can no longer be used. On the Battle Network platform, you can just make a little change, it's very simple."
Bushnell was overjoyed when he heard this.
"mr·li, your method is really wonderful! What's even more rare is that you actually came up with such a good method in such a short time. It's so smart that I am so proud of it!"
"Stop flattering me, hurry up and deal with it so as not to arouse public anger!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now!"
After the call, Bushnell immediately came to the company's gate and looked at the group of troublemakers below without changing his face.
"Please listen to me. I have called chronos·li, and he said..."
Bushnell then repeated the method Li Zetian told him before, and everyone was immediately excited when they heard it.
"Mr. Bushnell, when can we get the game disc?"
Someone asked immediately.
"Ten days later!" Bushnell said.
Since it is only provided to some players, the production capacity of the Flamingo Factory within one week is enough.
At this time, Bushnell added: "At that time, the only Flamingo retail store will sell Counter-Strike and Red Alert game discs, I hope everyone will pay attention."
Game fans got their satisfactory answers and gradually dispersed.
...
"Counter-Strike" has become popular all over the world, and countless players are discussing it, especially in school. The most talked about between students is "Counter-Strike"! Those students who open the Internet at home are proud and become the objects of envy. Once school comes, students in groups of three to three will make an appointment to play CS.
Although ten days are short, it is still unbearable for impatient players. For a time, the number of users who access the Internet in the United States surged!
Within these ten days, the sprint company under Li Zetian's name alone added 50,000 users.
Obviously, as the Battle.com platform becomes bigger and bigger, "Counter-Strike" is becoming more and more popular, and more families will open Internet services in the future.
At this time, in the distant mainland China, Honor chain Internet cafes were already crowded and its business was in a mess! Several people always stood behind each computer watching others play "Counter-Strike" or "Red Alert". The Internet speed in mainland China is not very good. If you enter the Battle Network platform, you will get a little stuck. You usually fight in the local area network.
"I've created the host, start 5v5, you can get in at a speed!"
Soon, someone shouted in the Internet cafe and greeted him.
Immediately, some people responded.
"Okay, I'm here!"
"I'm here too!"
“…”
The business of Honor Internet Cafes is so prosperous that it is jealous.
Soon, more people were preparing to open an Internet cafe.
Unexpectedly, the number of Internet cafes opened too quickly. Li Zetian got news from Lenovo and Mango Computer Company that thousands of users called to ask how much an Internet cafe computer cost.
However, it is also a good thing. If you open more Internet cafes, it means that China's Internet is developing rapidly.
Li Zetian also issued an order to the Honor chain Internet cafe to speed up the establishment of chain stores.
At the same time, Li Zetian also decided to open the Honor chain Internet cafe to Europe and the United States. Although the personal computer penetration rate in Europe and the United States is very high, and opening an Internet cafe is not very profitable, what Li Zetian is thinking now is based on the Honor chain Internet cafe, so it is better to hold game competitions here in the future!
In fact, Honor Internet Cafe will develop into Honor Group in the future and become the organizer of various game competitions around the world!
With money, competition venues and influence, Honor Group is capable of taking on this role.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the number of registered users of the Battle Network platform was as high as 3 million, the number of paid users of "Counter-Strike" was as high as 2.75 million, and the number of paid users of "Red Alert" was as high as 2.4 million, shocking retailers and game developers.
The retailers were filled with grief.
The game developers were surprised, as if they saw hope. Flamingo Company had successfully proved this new sales model! For a time, third-party game developers went to Flamingo Company to negotiate cooperation.
At this time, the game disc with the game serial number also began to be sold at the Flamingo retail store.
Although there are already pirated Counter-Strike and Red Alert online, there are still a steady stream of users who purchase game discs. Looking at the long queue outside the Flamingo retail store, it is shocking.
Not far away, the retailers hiding in the cafe looked gloomy.
"We all sent people to spread "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" online. Why are so many people going to Flamingo retail stores to buy game discs?" One of them said in confusion.
Immediately sent someone to stop a user who bought a good game CD.
"Hi, hello, you just bought Counter-Strike in Flamingo Retail Store?"
"Yes."
"But there have been pirated "Counter-Strike" online, why do you still want to buy it? As far as I know, it costs $100, it's not cheap!"
The player smiled: "You are afraid you don't go to the Flamingo retail store often. When you get there, you will know that playing stand-alone games alone and everyone is fighting on the Battle.com platform. The two are simply incomparable. There is a serial number on the game CD, and using the serial number can activate the game on the Battle.com platform. Although I don't have the Internet connection at home now, I will definitely do it in the future. If you buy it early or late, you might as well buy it now. When you have the chance, you can log in to your own Battle.com platform, play "Counter-Strike" and accumulate Battle.com points!"
"What are the points of the Battle.com??" The man who came to ask was full of surprise.
Chapter completed!
