Chapter 136 Sales exceeded 10,000, the future can be expected(1/2)
At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Xing's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
In the misty lake, he touched the cell phone on the bedside and barely opened one eye. After seeing the call from Li Zhibin, he subconsciously wanted to hang up and go to sleep.
However, his mind cleared up and he didn't hang up directly. After the call was connected, he put the phone to his ear, Xu Xing closed his eyes again, yawned and wanted to continue sleeping.
"Xu Xing! Xu Xing! Are you awake?"
Li Zhibin's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Look at the number of downloads!"
“Downloads of Fruit Assassin!”
"When I first woke up, it was more than 8,000, and now it's already 9,000!"
"Too fast, too fast!"
"I remember it was only two thousand before I went to bed yesterday, but when I woke up it doubled again!"
Being bombarded by Li Zhibin so early in the morning, Xu Xing's sleepiness was forced away in an instant.
However, after hearing Li Zhibin's extremely excited words, Xu Xing looked helpless: "Can you tell me on QQ? I'm sleeping in the dormitory."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
The person opposite had already gotten up, and in order to share with Xu Xing what was going on in his heart at this moment, Li Zhibin ran out of the dormitory building and found a place where no one was around. Li Zhibin was stunned for a moment and blinked with his mobile phone.
Did this guy hear what he said clearly?
Nine thousand!
That’s nine thousand!
If we calculate based on the 2,000 downloads in the early hours of last night, in just six hours, the number of downloads has skyrocketed to 7,000!
Sales directly reached more than 20,000 US dollars!
If you deduct the share with Pineapple Company and various taxes, and finally distribute it to their company, it will be at least more than 10,000 US dollars.
Converted into RMB, that’s 60,000 to 70,000 yuan!
The initial investment will be paid back directly!
And this was the result of six hours yesterday morning.
However, after Li Zhibin calmed down a little, he also understood that 7,000 downloads in six hours could not be 28,000 downloads in 24 hours.
After all, the early morning here corresponds to the afternoon in North America, so it is normal for the number of downloads to be higher.
But even so, after counting this whole day, is today's sales increase expected to exceed 10,000?
Thinking of this, Li Zhibin instantly became excited again. He picked up his phone and opened QQ to see if Xu Xing had replied to him.
He had no intention of calling Xu Xing before, simply because no one responded when he frantically called Xu Xing on QQ. Li Zhibin guessed that Xu Xing was still sleeping.
While I was thinking that I shouldn't disturb him, I felt itchy in my heart as if there were ten thousand ants crawling around me.
It would be really uncomfortable if I couldn’t share this huge surprise with my good friends right away!
As a result, who would have thought that Xu Xing would be in a panic no matter whether he faced a scene that looked like he was on the street a few days ago or a situation that suddenly showed signs of an explosion today!
It's as if Li Zhibin created this game, and Xu Xing is the outsider... The actual situation should be the other way around.
What a hell.
[Yi Li Yanyu]: If I have nothing else to do, I will just catch up on my sleep. When the sales of Fruit Assassin exceed 100,000, it won’t be too late for you to yell at me again.
Seeing this guy's reply, Li Zhibin was immediately speechless.
[A Bin]: Maybe today is just an exception. Don’t be too arrogant.
[A Bin]: Even if we can maintain an increase of 10,000 per day, it will reach 70,000 in one week.
[A Bin]: I don’t know if I can achieve such a good growth effect once I get this recommended position!
Li Zhibin has grown up in the past few days and gradually realized the importance of a platform's exposure to a game.
Especially seeing the increase in Fruit Assassin today made Li Zhibin realize the importance of traffic in this era.
If I get recommended later, I won’t be kicked back to my original shape, right?
But for Li Zhibin, as long as he can maintain this increase in the recommended position this week, he will wake up laughing immediately when he falls asleep.
After all, in the early hours of last night, their game had successfully recovered its investment, and the subsequent increase was completely pure profit.
Although Xu Xing also said that subsequent development, updates and maintenance will also require expenses, but compared with this income, it is really a drop in the bucket.
If they can maintain this growth this week, wouldn't they be able to earn three to four hundred thousand in one week?
Damn it!
After such a calculation, Li Zhibin felt like he was going crazy.
His father’s salary may not be that much in a year!
And Xu Xing's game only lasted a week, and he might have made so much money!
At this moment, Li Zhibin finally suddenly realized that there was really a huge gap between himself and Xu Xing.
wrong.
It should be said that Xu Xing unknowingly opened up a gap with his peers in just one summer vacation that makes people despair.
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel horrified.
Previously, Li Zhibin thought that Xu Xing was just joking with him when he said something like "Light of Domestic Mobile Games".
But if this trend continues, maybe his words will come true.
However, just when Li Zhibin was thinking about these things, Xu Xing sent another message.
[Yicao Yanyu]: How can such an obvious effect be achieved by relying solely on App Store recommendations for exposure?
[Yi Li Yanyu]: I will give you a list later, and you can search it on the Internet yourself.
[Yicao Yanyu]: Let me tell you my thoughts after reading it.
Looking at the information from Xu Xing, Li Zhibin was in a daze at first, and then he received a series of character lists from Xu Xing.
But the names above were all in English, which made him a little confused for a while.
【Abin】:What is this?
[Yicaiyanyu]: List of cooperation partners for publicity and promotion.
…
"Mom! Look, look!"
Early in the morning, Yao Yuanyuan ran to Pei Qinglan's bedroom with her mobile phone and showed her the number of downloads of Fruit Assassin very ostentatiously.
Pei Qinglan had just gotten up and put on her clothes. She turned around and glanced, then raised her brows and looked a little surprised.
"Is this going to require 10,000 sales?"
As an investor, Pei Qinglan is very sensitive to numbers and knows exactly what this sales volume means to Xuhang, a small company.
Capital preservation means that they have reached the baseline for company survival, which is much stronger than more than 90% of small and micro enterprises.
What's more, for a game, it's just the beginning.
If this increase can be maintained... Pei Qinglan secretly estimated in her heart, then smiled and shook her head and sighed.
Let alone one hundred thousand or one million, once it has sufficient cash flow, no company will be willing to sell its shares.
Pei Qinglan also didn't expect that Xu Xing, whom she had really been optimistic about before, would achieve such success in his first game.
But after thinking about it, Pei Qinglan felt a little strange: "I remember, you told me yesterday that your game was recommended by Pineapple Company, but the number of downloads was only about one or two thousand a day. How come it exceeded one thousand?"
Did it suddenly become like this?"
"Hey." Talking about this, Yao Yuanyuan also felt that Xu Xing's move was quite powerful. After some operations on her mobile phone, she found an advertising video uploaded by a blogger and showed it to Pei Qinglan, "Mom, watch this first.
"
Pei Qinglan looked at it intently, finished watching the video without realizing it, and then fell into deep thought.
But before she could finish thinking, Yao Yuanyuan made another operation and clicked on an advertising video again.
Although they are still promoting Fruit Assassin, the creative content and style of the videos have completely changed. The only thing that is the same is that they are all eye-catching.
Later, Yao Yuanyuan pulled out the third video. After it was played, she stopped and said with a smile: "There are probably twenty more advertising videos like this."
At this time, Pei Qinglan was completely silent.
"You asked bloggers on YouTube to make these advertisements?"
"Yes." Yao Yuanyuan nodded, "At that time, I spent all the savings of the studio."
"This is not a small sum of money." Pei Qinglan pondered and estimated the cost.
Using YouTube bloggers for advertising is indeed a way.
However, because the current YouTube advertising conversion rate is not particularly ideal, most advertisers still prefer the traditional advertising channel model.
