Chapter 319 The first offline store

Chapter 319 The first offline store

The Cowherd Cult who suddenly won the resurrection match caught Chen Ba off guard. After all, he had never dreamed that a person could be resurrected after death!

But it's not a big problem.

Although the Cowherd Cult is a rat crossing the street and everyone yells at it, their attitude in attracting traffic to "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" deserves recognition, and their contribution cannot be ignored.

Let’s not talk about anything else…

The Cowherd Cult has made a comeback in the past few days, so why don’t you think the popularity of "Han Chuang Ku Study Simulator" has increased?

What? Are all netizens scolding me?

Ahem, that’s not important!

As the saying goes, black and red are also red. It's really unpleasant to have negative reviews and be criticized all over the Internet, but it's better than before when no one cared about it, right?

They can be regarded as doing Chen Ba a big favor. After all, without the help of the Cowherd Cult, I am afraid that few people in the entire gaming circle would pay attention to the game "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator", nor would they care that this game has a Something like new DLC.

Seriously, Chen Ba has to thank them!

certainly.

No matter how much attention the Cowherding Cult has emerged, it can't change the fact that "Hanchuang Studying Simulator" is already cool.

So when Tianba Studio officially released the "Death of an Old Scalper" DLC, the number of downloads was actually not high, only about 6,000.

"Looking on the bright side, after so many years, our game still has more than 6,000 players playing it. This is already very good!"

"yes……"

After hearing Brother Dong's comfort, Chen Ba said with emotion: "Actually, I originally thought it would be good to have one or two thousand downloads, but I didn't expect there to be so many."

To be fair, 6,000 downloads is already pretty good.

Although it is a free DLC, the game has been out of service for a long time, and there are still so many players supporting it. Chen Ba said that it is not surprising that it is fake.

But he soon figured it out.

The 6,000 downloads of the new DLC are mostly the traffic caused by the Niu Fang Cuo's recruitment of gangsters on the entire network, or the downloads contributed by old players who have quit the game.

Looking back at the beginning, "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator" sold hundreds of thousands of copies at its peak.

Although many of the hundreds of thousands of players no longer play the game, as long as some people know that the "new DLC" is released and given away for free, the number of downloads will not be too low.

It’s free after all!

If the DLC "Death of an Old Scalper" still charges, then not many people will download and purchase it. After all, the game is no longer played, so who would spend money to buy a DLC that they can’t use?

But if you say it’s free, then buddy, don’t worry!

It doesn’t matter whether you play the game or not, whether you need the DLC or not. In short, I have to get the free DLC first. I don’t have to play it, but I must have it.

…

The release of the new DLC "Death of the Old Scalper" can be regarded as a successful conclusion to the game "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator".

After this, Chen Ba's next plan may be a new DLC for "The Survival Simulator".

But before that, he had to attend the opening ceremony of Xianyu Digital’s first offline direct-operated store and cut the ribbon for the Jiangning direct-operated store numbered 001.

This is a big deal!

Since its establishment, Xianyu Digital has always followed an online e-commerce model and has never set foot in offline stores.

However, the addition of Mirage Electronics has changed the original business model of Xianyu Digital.

After all, in the past, Xianyu Digital was more of an agent underwriting the products of other brands. To put it bluntly, it was a dealer channel.

But now Xianyu Digital is no longer a simple PC hardware dealer, but has become a PC hardware manufacturer and video game publisher.

The products currently sold by Xianyu Digital are mainly PC hardware and supporting peripherals under Mirage Electronics, as well as game peripheral derivatives under Tianba Studio, etc.

As for those graphics cards, memory sticks, etc. that were sold before, that's not to say that they won't be sold anymore, but relatively speaking, the business proportion has shrunk, and it is no longer the main business of Xianyu Digital.

The first offline store opened in Jiangning City, in addition to undertaking the offline distribution business of Xianyu Digital, actually also has a hidden role...

In addition to selling various hardware and peripherals, this store actually sells games!

Yes, you heard it right!

Jiangning offline flagship store is equipped with multiple large screens and game consoles. Players can enter the store to try out any Tianba game. If they are satisfied, they can purchase game cartridges or digital version Cdkeys here.

This is the significance of Chen Ba’s insistence on opening a physical store offline.

certainly!

Chen Ba does not expect this store to sell many copies of the game, nor does he even expect to recover the rent cost.

The meaning of this store's existence is more symbolic, just like the "XXX experience stores" opened by major digital manufacturers.

It doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, the important thing is that if this store is opened here, people passing by will be curious to go in and have a look, or to experience the games of Tianba Studio.

It doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not, as long as people come into the store to experience it, then the store is not losing money.

Just a quick mention.

Although this offline store is located in a prime section of the city center, the rent is actually not expensive. It can even be said that there is basically no rent.

Don't ask, asking is nepotism.

Who made Lao Wang the biggest landlord in this commercial center? And Lao Wang looks at Chen Ba just like he looks at his son-in-law. Can he collect rent?

joke!

If Chen Ba negotiates the rent, I'm afraid the property rights of this storefront will be transferred to his name the next day.

Lao Wang really had nothing to say to him.

Not only did he give him what he asked for, but he also introduced Chen Ba to the connections he had accumulated over the years, acting like he was "taking care of an orphan in Baidi City".

He also sees things thoroughly.

Wang Ya really couldn't keep the family business. If it weren't for Chen Ba's help, I'm afraid there would be a lot of jackals and tigers and leopards jumping out to cause trouble as soon as he died.

Because of this, he thought of tying Chen Ba to the chariot through marriage, so that he would not have to worry about his retirement or death in the future, and his daughter being too weak to maintain the family business.

Chen Ba did not resist his kindness.

Because compared to Lao Wang, although he is richer, his "foundation" is still too shallow. This is mainly due to his poor connections.

no way……

How can he, a young man who is engaged in the Internet industry, compete with a real estate veteran for personal connections?

Therefore, the combination of him and Wang Ya can be regarded as a complementation of the resources of both parties. Both he and Lao Wang are happy to see this happen.

As for whether the two parties have feelings for each other, it really doesn't matter.

On the day Chen Ba and Wang Ya got engaged, Lao Chen secretly asked a question: "If you two get divorced, can you get custody of your child?"

Although Lao Chen's problem is very trivial, it is indeed a real problem before us, because both parties want a child, and Lao Wang will definitely not let go.

So an engagement is an engagement, and by then, divorce will probably be just a matter of words.

"One for each family!"

Chen Ba told him about his arrangement with Lao Wang. He thought Lao Chen would be relieved, but unexpectedly he raised another question: "How to separate a man from a woman?"

Chen Ba: "..."

No, he didn't realize that Old Chen was an old man who favored boys over girls? In this regard, you shouldn’t have to worry about it, right?

"You misunderstood, I am not patriarchal, I mean...granddaughters are greater than grandsons!" Old Chen Youyou said.

Okay, okay, you still have to be old!

Chen Ba curled his lips and decided not to pay attention to this old man who loved to talk nonsense. He was already here who favored girls over boys, so he couldn't let Lao Wang hear these words.

Trivia!

Lao Wang also wanted to hold his granddaughter, but not his grandson. Who knows what kind of tacit understanding the two old men had, and they had the same ideas.

But then again, why do the older generation think that it’s not Chen Ba’s turn to have the final say? Anyway, they want to think about it. In the end, aren’t they the ones who have the final say?

Looking at Wang Ya, who was standing chatting with her best friend in the distance, smiling stiffly, as if she was experiencing such a battle for the first time, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Chen Ba's mind.

If he had been braver back then, maybe the person standing there now would be different, right?

Tsk, this wine is a bit bitter...
