Cairo Gaming System

Chapter 23 Pricing
After leaving ING, where the dog's eyes are low, Li Ze found another authoritative foreign game review website in China.

I originally thought that foreign evaluation organizations like this would not care much about the poor reputation of the field.

Unexpectedly, Domain’s reputation seems to have spread abroad, and people directly said: “I’m sorry, we only accept companies that are capable of making excellent games. However, from the perspective of Domain’s past experience and staffing, it seems that Domain has no possibility of making excellent games. sex."

Having been looked down upon by the two companies in a row, there was both depression and anger, which also strengthened Li Ze's determination to make the field of rebirth bigger and stronger.

Again, what Li Ze needs is an opportunity to prove himself and his field.

To paraphrase a line from Chow Yun-fat in "The True Colors of Heroes": "I don't want to be looked down upon by others for the rest of my life. I do this field of Romance of the Three Kingdoms just to wait for an opportunity. I want to fight for it. It's not to prove that I'm great, but to tell everyone. I must get back what was lost in the domain!"

For this goal, even though Li Ze was already in a very upset mood, Li Ze still did not give up the opportunity to use the evaluation to advertise.

This time, Li Ze came to the office of Rangmin Xingkong.

Rangmin Starry Sky is a well-known game information website in China, and the evaluation of Rangmin Starry Sky has always been comprehensive and fast.

It can even be said that in terms of the influence of game reviews alone, Langmin Starry Sky is no less than ING.In terms of comprehensiveness and people-friendliness of the evaluation, Langmin Starry Sky is even higher.

However, the Rangmin Starry Sky also has its own problems, that is, the reputation and authority of the Rangmin Starry Sky evaluation is not enough.

Rangmin Starry Sky has always had a tradition of collecting money for high scores and writing soft articles, and it does not have a unique scoring method like ING, which is very random.

Therefore, senior players in the industry look down on Langmin Xingkong.

But those things have nothing to do with Li Ze. Although Langmin Xingkong is not authoritative, it is well-known!

If Langmin Xingkong can agree to review Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the review field and give high praise, it will be equivalent to a free and powerful advertisement.

The scale of the Rangmin Starry Sky is large, but not too pretentious. Li Ze easily met the editor of the Rangmin Starry Sky.

After listening to Li Ze's words, the editor of Rangmin Starry Sky thought about it for a while.

Although it is a garbage game in the realm, the reputation of the Realm of Reason in the industry is pretty good. Coupled with the gimmick of rock star Zhao Ba, it can be said that "Three Kingdoms of the Realm" also has a certain popularity.

Langmin Xingkong doesn't care about the quality of the game. Anyway, if it's fun, just blow it. If it's not fun, just suck it!
And the game in the field is so rubbish, it will definitely be crazily complaining, and it will be crazy.

Viewers are always happy to hear this kind of complaints. Otherwise, Stationmaster Ao's series of videos "Screaming Call" would not be so popular.

Thinking of this, the editor of Rangmin Xingkong immediately agreed.

But since Li Ze came too late, he had to line up first.

Judging from the schedule, by the time of the Rangmin Starry Sky evaluation, "Records of the Three Kingdoms in the Field" had already been released.

Although it is impossible to evaluate "Three Kingdoms" before its release, Li Ze is already quite satisfied.

After all, no matter what, the number of IP visits to Langmin Starry Sky is indeed large. Being ranked among the review accounts of Langmin Starry Sky is very critical for a small field.

After finishing the evaluation of the wandering starry sky, the advertising problem of the Three Kingdoms in the field has been solved.

Soon the disc factory sent [-] sets of discs to the field. After looking at the outer box and cover of the game, Li Ze was still very satisfied.

After all, it is a professional game disc manufacturer. The cover of the game well reflects Bi Muxiong's original painting, and it feels good to the touch.

Signing for the receipt, Li Ze put the [-] sets of game discs in the storage room.

Everything is ready for sale!
But how much to sell, this is also a question.

Too expensive to sell, affecting sales.

It is too cheap to sell, which affects profits.

So Li Ze held an impromptu meeting for everyone to discuss how much the game should be priced.

Bi Muxiong spoke first.

"The prices of several games in the previous field are generally high, and they are getting higher and higher. Originally, to be honest, not many people are willing to buy games in the field, plus the pricing of first-line 3A masterpieces."

"It can be said that the high pricing is also an important reason for the poor sales of previous games in the field."

Bi Muxiong's meaning is obvious, and it is suggested to set a low market price.

Lu Ke also said: "I also suggest that the price should not be too high, because the development cost of our Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this field is indeed not high. Even if a low price is set, there is still a lot of profit margin."

Li Ze nodded, expressing that he had written down their opinions, and asked Yue Na and Tie Xiaohu, "What do you two think?"

Tie Xiaohu raised his hands high, and responded loudly: "Resolutely support the commander's instructions! Boss, you can do whatever you say!"

And Yue Na's opinion is similar to that of Bi Muxiong Luke. She also analyzed: "The reputation of the field before is not very good. This field Three Kingdoms will be a turnaround for our field. If we can adopt a low-price policy and increase sales to seize market, and that would be good for raising the profile of our field."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Li Ze had a preliminary idea.

At present, it seems that everyone believes that Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the field should be sold at a low price to attract customers and improve reputation.

But Li Ze had a different idea.

Standing up, Li Ze stood on the whiteboard and wrote the five characters "Region of the Three Kingdoms".

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Field, I will not set a too high price, because objectively speaking, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Field is indeed not a first-line 3A masterpiece."

"But I will not seize the market with a low price, because our game is not a low-priced small game. It is true that the development cost of the Three Kingdoms in the field is not high, but this is not a reason for us to lower our value."

"This is the first game in the rebirth field, which is very important for the positioning of the entire company, and I have the ambition to make a super-first-line 3A masterpiece."

"Moreover, the consumption habits of strategy game players are different. A strategy player would rather spend 300 to buy a durable strategy masterpiece than spend 30 to buy a small game."

"Considering the pricing of games of the same type comprehensively, the pricing of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in my mind is."

"168 dollars."

Li Ze put forward his own opinion. The price of 168 is far inferior to the latest masterpieces of first-line manufacturers, but it is also higher than those games from small unknown manufacturers.

If you don't consider the bad reputation in the field, the price of 168 is reasonable.

The opinion of the boss, Li Ze, differs from that of the employees, and the smart employees will naturally not disobey the boss.

There are advantages to setting a price lower than 100, but there is nothing wrong with setting a normal price of 168.

So the price was 168 yuan, and it was such a happy decision.
