Chapter 232 Thank you
"The highest number of pre-registrations for Hearthstone has reached 37! And this number is still growing at a rate of hundreds per minute."

Cai Quan's voice was at least eight octaves higher than usual, clearly showing his extreme excitement: "This level of enthusiasm far exceeds expectations! Those external players are obviously also very interested in the game. ANF's game section is really going to take off!"

His excitement was not without reason.

After all, he had been worried about ANF's profitability for quite some time.

The founder, who initially only wanted to make ANF the number one in its vertical category, began to have some expectations as hot money from Avalon continued to pour into ANF, although it wouldn't be said that his ambitions expanded rapidly.

He hopes that ANF can really become the channel that all mobile games can't bypass, just as Tang Yao said!
just.

To be honest, he was a little worried about live streaming before.

It's not that I'm worried about Tang Yao's abilities or Avalon's game development capabilities, but rather whether a live stream can really attract enough people, and whether ANF will truly be welcomed by external players.

And it turns out.

His worries were completely unnecessary!
Tang Yao knows so much more! Much more than him!

And the players were incredibly enthusiastic!
There was no need for this to ferment; the very next day, external players began to flock in.

This gave him a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope that ANF would no longer reach out for money and could stand on its own completely.

Although most of the games launched in this gaming section are still from Avalon.

Only one game, "Fantasy Journey to the West," is a joint operation.

But this is certainly a good start, as long as ANF can prove the potential of the gaming sector this time.

It's safe to say that there will be no shortage of games going forward!
"..."

Upon hearing Cai Quan's words, Tang Yao did not rush to answer, but instead opened the ANF game section and glanced at it briefly.

really.

The number of pre-registrations for all three games is increasing.

She then opened the comment sections of a few more games and took a look.

"I've pre-registered! When will the beta test start? I can't wait!"

"This game only costs 20 yuan? Are you sure there won't be any in-app purchases?"

"The gameplay demo of 'The Secret' is amazing, and the art style is totally my cup of tea!"

"It looks pretty fun. I hope the open beta won't disappoint me."

"That sounds interesting, but I wonder how it will actually be in gameplay."

Overall, the level of interest far exceeded expectations.

Moreover, most of the top comments didn't mention the live stream, which clearly indicates that the players were from outside the community.

Also.

Some of it is outrageous.

FGO, which wasn't the main focus of the live stream and is considered an older game, saw a remarkable increase in popularity, even showing an upward trend that was somewhat on par with three new games.

After all, ANF has only just gotten off to a good start, and there aren't many games yet.

And FGO, with its bunch of anime-style beauties, is indeed quite eye-catching.

Also.

Compared to the other three new games, this older game is available to download and play immediately.

Of course, some of the external players who were attracted to FGO were also interested in it.

Tang Yao glanced at the FGO comment section and found that there were also many new players.

This put her mind at ease.

FGO also benefited.

Although she didn't seem to take Jiuxiao's targeting too seriously, it wasn't a good thing in the end. If she could use ANF's channels to alleviate the problem of lacking external channels and declining popularity, it would definitely be a good thing.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as she had predicted.

Those players who were drawn in by the live stream also became interested in FGO.

Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief; she had achieved both of her goals for the live stream.

Although it is troublesome.

But the live stream still seems worthwhile...

Think of this.

Tang Yao released the mouse, turned to look at Cai Quan again, and said, "Then let's prepare to launch the related activities as well. Follow the plan I gave you last time: the fan-made event for 'Yun', the deck challenge and 'First Legend' event for 'Hearthstone', and the upgrade challenge for 'Fantasy Journey to the West'."

These can all be put on the agenda now.

“These external players aren’t ANF users yet; they’ve just pre-registered for the game. We need to use the game content to keep them on ANF, and then leverage ANF’s content ecosystem to completely convert them into loyal users of the website.” “Remember what I told you? Most of them who can accept that kind of live streaming format are casual anime/manga fans. Attracting them will be more beneficial than harmful.”

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Cai Quan managed to calm down: "These activities are all being prepared and will be gradually rolled out as the game goes live."

"That's good."

Tang Yao nodded, then turned to consider something else.

For now.

There's no need to worry about ANF for now; we just need to wait for the game's official release.

She is now considering overseas markets.

After all, when she was working on Hearthstone, she said that it was a game designed for overseas markets.

Now, Avalon has released three games at once.

It is foreseeable that if these three games are successful... or perhaps not all three games will be successful, as long as Hearthstone is successful.

Even if PC games are very profitable, apart from Nine Clouds, other manufacturers will realize that mobile games are the future.

Even if they don't immediately shift their focus to mobile, they will accelerate their trial runs and increase investment in mobile games.

And that's in addition.

Other speculators and entrepreneurs are also making increasingly bold mobile game themes.

If this place is like Tang Yao's previous life, with the increase in mobile games, then this new field will inevitably usher in a corresponding review mechanism.

By the time.

The era of genuine game licenses is over, and a window of opportunity has arrived.

Tang Yao wasn't so powerful that she thought she could outlast other big companies.

So it's time to prepare.

Let's test the waters in overseas markets a little.

After all, there hasn't been a single excellent traditional PVP card game yet.

This means that the market segment is completely blank.

Once Hearthstone, a reliable product, is launched, it has a high probability of success.

"Tang Yao."

Tang Yao is considering the company's future.

Cai Quan's voice rang out again.

She then realized that Cai Quan was still there: "Is there anything else?"

"Besides Avalon's games, the joint operation data for 'Fantasy Journey to the West' is also skyrocketing! Three more game companies have contacted us proactively."

Looking at Tang Yao's beautiful face, Cai Quan said sincerely, "This time, ANF may have really found a profitable model! It's no longer that small website that relies on Avalon for funding! Thank you! Thank you for not giving up on ANF during this time."

this moment.

He was incredibly grateful that he had sold ANF to the girl in front of him as a package deal.

Because he is very self-aware, he does not believe that ANF's current situation is something that he or ANF staff could have accomplished on their own.

He knew very well that without Tang Yao's financial support some time ago, without Avalon's game, and without Tang Yao's advice, he would have been completely devastated.

ANF ​​will most likely remain in its previous half-dead state.

You absolutely cannot see this scenery right now.

People have self-knowledge.

He was more aware of his own shortcomings than anyone else.

"You're welcome."

Tang Yao shook her head gently and smiled, "Besides, this is just the beginning. The real test will come after the public beta. It's not too late to thank me when things are better then."

"Absolutely no problem! I can already imagine the spectacle on the day of the open beta! Players will go crazy for your game, Tang Yao! Absolutely!!"

Cai Quan looked at Tang Yao with a fanatical expression.

Tang Yao: “…”

Well, never mind, having confidence is a good thing...
