Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 391 Talk about playing games

However, Zhong Cheng did not mention this matter to Lei Wang and the two.

He asked, "Is Dream World profitable now?"

In fact, he doesn't care about this, but as a major shareholder, it would be a bit unreasonable if he doesn't ask whether he makes money or not.

Wang Anlin answered this question.

"By the end of November, users had accumulatively deposited more than 11 billion yuan, accumulatively paid more than 800 billion user funds, and advertising revenue was 700 billion yuan. Excluding operating expenses, the book profit was 50 billion yuan!"

"Huh?" Zhong Cheng was surprised by this profit model.

Wang Anlin quickly explained: "Because Dream World is a free model, except for the initial consumption of basic props and basic necessities, no fees will be charged."

"And as more and more stores are operated by players, the stores of the system will also be transferred to players for operation, and this income will disappear."

"However, players rent or buy shops, land, taxes, auction houses, etc., which are ours. Even if players form a country, their taxes will be shared with us."

"Advertising revenue will be the bulk of the revenue in the future. Any real-world company that wants to display their brand in the game will be charged a fee."

Wang Anlin explained the profit model of Dream World in detail, which is actually the profit model of Metaverse.

Although it is under the banner of a free model, there is no one who does not make money, but they make money from the rich.

For a person like Zhong Cheng, it is impossible for him to spend time in the game to work and run tasks to make money for a living, he can only charge money in the game for consumption.

Of course, it's just a stroke of a pen to spend millions on Zhong Cheng, but it can support a huge group of ordinary users.

It is difficult for ordinary people to find a job in the real world, but there are job opportunities everywhere in the game. As long as they are willing to endure hardship and use their brains, it is still possible to earn tens of thousands a month.

Dream World provides everyone with the opportunity of "long life", but currently only one in a million people can really enjoy it.

However, Dream World's redistribution of social wealth is real, and in this respect it can be said to make up for the injustice in the real society.

Moreover, the game also provides many opportunities to "get ahead" or "get rich overnight", it depends on who can seize the opportunity.

It's just that Dream World has just started running, and the gap between players in the game is not too big.

In the future, will this virtual world also form a situation where wealth and resources are concentrated to a few people like the real society?

Zhong Cheng holds a positive opinion, which should be a characteristic of human society.

But even so, he is still very curious about the development trend of the virtual world of Dream World, which is a rare experimental field for the evolution of human social forms.

There are hundreds of millions of billions of human beings participating in this experiment, and given a few years or ten years to develop freely, no one can predict what the final result will be.

"Dream World is on fire, how did other companies in the 'Second World' respond?"

Zhong Cheng asked casually, but this was his real purpose of finding the two today.

Mutual aid societies have great influence in the second world, as well as great interests and plans, and it is impossible for them to remain indifferent to this.

Lei Yongzhong replied: "In the past three months, they were still crazily advertising and engaging in promotional activities to attract users, but after seeing that Dream World has a real effect of strengthening the body, they died down."

"They should have realized that this kind of technological advantage cannot be compensated by marketing methods!"

"Last month, the World Virtual Space Management Association approached us and asked us to disclose the cell activation technique. They paid the usage fee, but we refused."

"Because we don't think you will agree." Wang Anlin added.

Zhong Cheng said with a smile: "I will definitely not agree to disclose the cell activation technique, but we still have the possibility of cooperation!"

"what?!"

Zhong Cheng's words surprised the two, because they knew that Zhong Cheng was a die-hard nationalist and refused to cooperate with Western companies except for selling products.

Zhong Cheng didn't care about the shock of the two, he said: "We can open up the Western Continent or even the Southern and Northern Continents in Dream World, build the game world according to their humanistic customs, and enjoy the effect of cell activation as well."

"As long as the rules of the game in the New World are in balance with the Eastern Mainland, they are allowed to formulate their own rules, and everyone has their own profits."

"Several continents are not completely closed and independent, allowing everyone to compete freely. Wouldn't this game world be a little bit lonely without the confrontation between Eastern and Western civilizations?"

"Did you say so?"

"what?!"

The two were shocked again. Zhong Cheng's idea made them unable to accept it for a while, which was more radical than the public cell activation technique.

This is pulling all game companies onto one platform to compete!

Except for a period of first-mover advantages, their cloud network companies no longer have technical advantages over other companies.

But Dream World is really popular, and users all over the world will enter this virtual world.

Due to the cultural background of Dream World, most of the users are still limited to the eastern part of Asia.

If you add a variety of cultural backgrounds, then it can really be called "the world".

The two were distracted for a moment, repeatedly weighing the gains and losses and considering what Zhong Cheng wanted to do.

But Zhong Cheng didn't allow them to think too much.

"It's settled like this, you can follow my opinion and talk to the World Virtual Space Management Association!"

"I will ask Yang Shuzhen to follow up on the specific details. I just want to see users from all over the world realize their dreams in the Dream World as soon as possible!"

Lei Yongzhong and Wang Anlin stood up and nodded in agreement. Although they were the ones running the Dream World, Zhong Cheng was the boss. Even if he wanted to shut down the Dream World, there was nothing they could do.

On their faces, Zhong Cheng saw an uncontrollable ecstasy and a bewildered face.

What did they think of?
……

After the two left, Zhong Cheng found Fu Huaquan, Li Shaojie, Chen Yilong, and Shi Hanxing.

"I came to you today to talk about playing games!"

These four were his most loyal subordinates, so he directly stated the subject of the conversation.

Fu Huaquan's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhong, there are indeed quite a few people in the company who are playing Dream World these days, but the personnel department is strictly managing it, and it is absolutely not allowed to affect work because of playing games."

Although he misunderstood the meaning, Zhong Cheng asked with interest: "How many people in the company are playing Dream World?"

Fu Huaquan thought about it seriously, and replied: "Dream World has been played by many people in the company since the day of the public beta test. I thought it was the company's product and didn't care."

"However, in the past two or three months, more and more employees and even many middle-level and grassroots leading cadres have been playing Dream World."

Hearing this, Li Shaojie and Chen Yilong confessed in embarrassment that the two of them were one of them.

Zhong Cheng ignored the two of them and asked Fu Huaquan to continue.

"This incident caught our attention. Vice President Chen (Chen Peng) and I sent people to investigate secretly. It is conservatively estimated that at least 60% of the employees have registered accounts in Dreamworld."

"Because there are too many people, we are not easy to deal with. We just want to report to you after we have detailed statistics."

Finally, Fu Huaquan said sadly: "This matter is my negligence in work!"
