My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 82: Great Success (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Great Success (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)

In this world, there is no one who doesn’t love money.

Even those big shots who can dominate the gaming industry have come to Chenyu Company because they were "compelled by life," right?

So, when they heard that Chen Yan would hand out big red envelopes, the atmosphere suddenly heated up.

Recently, the actively engaged director Four Seas excitedly asked, "President Chen, how much are you planning to give us in red envelopes?"

Chen Yan coughed and said, "The specific amount of the red envelopes has yet to be decided."

"I’m preliminarily considering a project bonus of twenty thousand per person."

"Plus an additional profit-sharing plan."

Curious, the chubby Phoenix asked, "Profit-sharing plan?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."

"The success of a game cannot be separated from its developers. So, I am thinking about letting the developers share the company’s profits."

"My general idea is to establish an independent project team for each game."

"Key team members, such as the producer, chief programmer, lead designer, lead artist..." as he said this, Chen Yan glanced at Yu Qiao Qiao, "and art assistants, etc., will all be able to own shares of the project."

"This portion of the shares will be roughly between 10%-15% of the project’s total shares."

"In January of each year, after reserving the expenditures for the next quarter, the company will distribute dividends based on a percentage of the game’s profits!"

"The more popular the game, the bigger the share!"

"Based on the popularity of our game, I estimate the dividends won’t be less than one and a half million."

Hearing what Chen Yan had said, several veterans and Yu Qiao Qiao were all a bit surprised, "One and a half million!?"

There were only five veterans in total, and together with Yu Qiao Qiao and Chen Yan, just seven people.

With over a million to divide, each person could get more than two hundred thousand!

For these big shots, that amount was already quite significant!

And what’s more, keep in mind, this is just one game!

If we make several games! Wouldn’t that be a fortune?!

To be able to make games and earn money?

Isn’t this the dream job everyone is yearning for?

Chen Yan said, "I name this plan the ’Chenyu Plan.’"

"I don’t care about money! I only hope we can become the best gaming company in the world! To create the best games in the world!"

After all... I have my Qiao Qiao-branded ATM...

"Clap clap clap!" "Clap clap clap!" The company burst into vigorous applause!

No one likes to be exploited by their boss.

Nor does anyone like working hard for a whole year, unable to afford a bicycle for themselves, while earning a Ferrari for their boss...

Hence, everyone liked a boss who was willing to share the profits and was generous.

Only then would they be willing to follow him and achieve greatness together!

The only one who might be feeling a bit gloomy amongst them was Yu Qiao Qiao.

It should be a time to celebrate, but she couldn’t stop thinking: Is Chen Yan finding new ways to give me money?

Hmm, am I being too narcissistic?

After all, Chen Yan was rewarding everyone, not just me...

But... inexplicably, I felt like all of this had something to do with me.

Ah, it’s so strange.

And just as she was lost in thought, the chubby Phoenix nudged her gently, chuckling, "Qiao Qiao, why the long face?"

"People should be happy when the boss hands out money. Why do you look like the boss’s wife, all worried?"

Yu Qiao Qiao’s face flushed with an additional hint of red, as she stammered her response, "No, no. I was just wondering if the bonuses were too large. The company is just starting up; wouldn’t this be too much pressure?"

Hearing her words, Cheng Tianxiang, who had been beside her, stroked his balding patch and said, "Actually, it is indeed quite a bit."

When this big shot spoke up, the veterans all fell silent.

Cheng Tianxiang looked around at the others and said, "This kind of incentive plan is always there in the industry. But it’s always been available to just top gaming companies, top project teams."

"For a small company like ours, it would already be good to provide some bonuses."

"So, President Chen is really very generous with us."

"The treatment is at the top of the industry."

Chen Yan smiled and interjected, "We are the best company! The top game team!"

"Believe me! We can definitely become the best company in the world!" .....

....

After the motivational meeting, everyone returned to the tense waiting.

After all, the realization of the great dream hinged on the game’s big success.

Only if the game succeeded would there be a good life in the future!

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed.

At noon, 12 pm, the game officially went on sale!

Thanks to the pre-sale data.

The moment it went on sale, the game’s sales instantly shot up from zero to one hundred and thirty-five thousand!

Effortlessly securing the number one spot on the best-selling games list!

At the same time, the hashtag #Hidden Guardian Launch bought by Chen Yan descended onto the top 10 of the trending topics on Weibo!

Before that, the topic #Lu Man Stars in Live-Action Interactive Game# had peaked at just before the top 20. Although it also had great exposure, it was far from being in the top 10.

So, momentarily, there was a surge in the number of people who saw this topic.

Because of Lu Man, "Hidden Guardian" was gradually gaining a reputation these past few days. Many people, even if they hadn’t looked into it, had heard about it, so seeing this familiar name, many clicked in to take a look.

And what they found when they clicked in was a game introduction and game link pinned at the top of the topic.

The game introduction briefly explained the gameplay and list of actors.

Then, a special note was added:

[Purchase the game on Steam, and if not satisfied, you can get a full refund within two hours. So feel free to try out this game!]

This was the promotional point Chen Yan had in mind for this Weibo hot search.

For the average gamer, what is their biggest concern when trying a new game?

Of course, it’s the fear of their money going down the drain, tricked by a broken game.

So, for a small company like ours, even backed by Lu Man, passerby gamers would still feel skeptical.

That was why Chen Yan focused on this point for promotion.

After all! He had ample confidence in his game.

Not to mention the strategic plan. Just look at the photos taken by the godly Four Seas, the game color grading done by chubby Phoenix, the retouching, as well as the supreme beautified characters like himself, Yu Qiao Qiao, Lu Man, etc.

It was enticing enough to keep people playing!

That’s why Chen Yan dared to use this as a major promotional point!

Indeed, following Chen Yan’s promotion, the game’s sales soared!

One hundred thirty thousand! One hundred forty thousand! One hundred forty-five thousand!

In just over an hour, the game’s sales surged by more than ten thousand!

And it was still growing!

That day, Chen Yan and everyone else stayed in the office.

No one was really in the mood to work; they were all watching the game’s sales curve go up.

Perhaps because the game’s sales were, indeed, outstanding, the gaming platform also began to provide traffic support and recommendations. This further fueled the game’s sales.

Finally, by the end of the day, game sales had broken through the 180,000 mark!

The backend displayed a terrifying revenue of 4.03 million!

It had surpassed the total investment by more than double!

And this was just pre-sale plus the first day’s earnings!

The whole company turned into a sea of joy!

Chen Yan brought out the champagne to shake and spray!

Everyone was shouting and jumping around in the office!

Even Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but get caught up in this euphoria, hugging chubby Phoenix, hopping and skipping!

It was the moment their dreams came true! The most enjoyable state in the world!

And seizing the opportunity of popping champagne, Chen Yan also declared loudly, "Our game is a huge success. I have decided that at the beginning of next month, we’ll hand out red envelopes! Draw for big prizes!"

"Prizes ranging from mobile phones to laptops to luxury cars! Everything you can imagine!"

However, Yu Qiao Qiao, who had been having fun, suddenly tensed up when she heard the words "luxury car," and the smiling expression on her face instantly froze.
