Chapter 308 305 Pre-sale data

  The effect of the promotional video is very good. At first, Ubisoft thought that there would not be too much enthusiasm. After all, it will release another game shortly after Germination, which is still a pixel game.

  Now there is a thing in the player circle that everyone agrees to, and that is pixel ecstasy.

  They have already calmed down and released new games at the same time as the old thief. The results may not be too satisfactory.

  What they want is to attract more players through the word of mouth of the game. If this is a series, word of mouth is the strongest signboard.

  After the game started to be promoted, it entered the pre-sale stage.

  The first day of pre-sale has already given them a huge surprise.

  Ubisoft has staff who specialize in sorting out the data. 24 hours after the pre-sale started, he looked at the latest data in his hand.

  For the first time, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he didn't miss a single number.

  The second time, he wrote down the numbers one by one and checked them carefully.

  The third time, he reconfirmed.

  …

  After repeated several times, he was sure that there was really no problem with this data.

real!

  The staff member quickly printed this document. The newly released document was still a little hot to the touch, and the residual heat of printing still remained on the paper.

  He took the data analysis file and knocked on the door of his leader's office.

The department on the entire floor was a bit noisy, some colleagues were chattering about the release of the game, and everyone could see that there were more and more discussions about "Assassin's Creed" on the Internet, and the Internet was full of heated discussions about the details displayed in the game .

  The sound of knocking on the door was not so clear in this noisy morning.

"Enter."

  After getting approval from the leader, he squeezed the document in his hand and pushed the door open.

   "Boss, yesterday's pre-sale data came out."

   "Let me see!" The brown-haired man sitting in front of the desk got up and came over quickly, taking the document away from his hand.

  The document is not thick, there are only three pages in total, and all the residual heat on the paper has dissipated.

  On the three pages, the purchase quantity in different periods is displayed, and the purchase quantity in each period is displayed in one day.

  He carefully read page by page, but when he saw the first time period, there was already uncontrollable joy in his eyes.

  Their pre-orders started at 8:00 am the next day after the release of the promotional video. It is now 9:00 am, and the purchase data for the past twelve hours just came out.

  The data in the first hour exceeded 500,000.

   This has greatly exceeded their expectations, and looking back, the data in each period is even more surprising.

   After one day, the total pre-sale volume is 380w.

  The game is priced at 198, and all the costs have been earned on the first day, and there are still profits,

   "Is this really just the pre-order on the first day?" The Ubisoft executive looked at the last piece of paper seriously, but the number of pre-orders was already higher than the sales of their previous games.

   Until now, he has a little understanding of what EA is like.

   All the hardships I suffered during the game are now rewarded a hundredfold.

  The pre-order will last for ten days. Although this quantity will not be as fierce as the first day, it will also maintain a certain quantity in the following days.

   "Talk to the accountant, transfer 500 million to the old thief from the money just arrived." He took a deep breath, "Tell the old thief, Assassin's Creed 2, we bought it."

  Generally speaking, there will be a series of players who will watch the real player experience before starting the game. After all, it is common for promotional videos to be different from the real thing.

  And he has full confidence in the game.

   "Assassin's Creed 2!" Listening to the boss's order, the employees just now were a little dazed.

He is just a small employee, and he has never heard of a sequel. He only knows that the old thief has been in the company for a while. As for what the old thief said to the leaders, and what decisions the two sides made about the future, it is not him. Things such a person can know.

   This is also the first time he heard about the sequel.

   "Haha? Are you surprised?" Seeing the sales on the first day, Ubisoft's executive couldn't help but want to show off.

   "Besides, we have more than one sequel." Holding the document in his hand, he turned and walked to the window.

  The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows can see everything outside, "In the future, Assassin's Creed will become our golden signboard!"

   "Hmm..." He looked towards the sky not far away, and whispered softly, "Many years in the future."

  Until the subordinates came to the financial department, they still couldn't stop the shock in their hearts.

  He felt as if he had heard a very terrible plan.

  The amount of 500 million is extraordinary. After he told the finance director what he just said, the other party nodded slightly, as if he knew about it a long time ago.

  It turns out that the top management of the company is really playing a big game!

   At this time, the financial department of Germination Studio also received payment from Ubisoft.

  The note on the money is Assassin's Creed 2.

  The person in the financial department immediately sent the news to the old thief, "Did Ubisoft make a mistake, why did you even send the money for Assassin's Creed 2?"

  Ye Feng couldn't help laughing when he looked at the screenshots and messages sent to him by Finance.

   "In the future, for the money from Ubisoft about Assassin's Creed, just report it once." Ye Feng tapped his finger and replied quickly.

   "Assassin's Creed 2?"

   "Well, there are 3456789..." Ye Feng himself was a little embarrassed to say that, although each work will have its own name, but if there is one book a year, it is equivalent to 345678.

   "Boss is awesome!" The finance manager was taken aback immediately, and didn't say any more.

  He looked at his subordinates, "The old thief said that in the future, all Ubisoft's money will be accepted!"

   "In the future, Ubisoft may be our professional accountant." He took a deep breath. "It's possible that the other party will give us money for more than ten years..."

  Is this the charm of the old thief? It is really difficult for a series of games to be better than each other. This kind of obvious behavior of leeks, the old thief can still make people willingly give money.

  But after thinking about it, I feel that buying the series is not too bad a loss.

  Because the series of games also depends on whose series of games it is.

  He just felt that Ubisoft didn't lose money, but he couldn't imagine that in the future, Ubisoft would really make it a gold-lettered signboard.

  When Ye Feng shared this matter with Song Shan, Song Shan couldn't help feeling emotional.

   "It's really a series of leeks!"

   "As long as it has quality, it is not a leek." Ye Feng argued.

   "Then based on the hidden rivalry between Ubisoft and EA, can EA let it go after knowing this? Then they have to come to the door!" Song Shan couldn't help shouting.

   "The name of the game series is very strong, so what do you have to give EA to deal with it?"
