Chapter 416: Chapter 147: I Have a Plan That Will Make Every Tycoon in the World Look Pale!_2

If we adopt various incentive programs used by mainstream video platforms,

It’s easy for some shady characters to sneak in, resorting to tricks or edging towards risqué content to garner attention.

Although this can lead to rapid user growth, the influx of users would actually be of very low quality, tarnishing the community environment and making genuine players looking for strategies or fan creations feel uncomfortable.

Under the temptation of the exquisite peripherals awarded by Top Player official.

"Top Secret" was also experiencing a steady rise in user registrations, with a daily increase of 30,000 to 50,000.

Moreover, this user base would continue to grow exponentially. Once a certain scale is reached, word of mouth would become a significant means of exposure.

"Mr. Ke, there’s something else I need to discuss with you," Jianglin said.

Ke Jin shifted his gaze from the fish tank and looked at Gou Chehua with a faint smile, "Go ahead."

"The operations department suggests, if your next game prepared by Mr. Ke is going to be an online game, we need to start looking for a new server provider ahead of time."

"What’s wrong, isn’t our cooperation with ’JingFa’ going well?" Ke Jin was surprised.

Currently, all of Top Player’s online game servers are hosted in collaboration with a company specializing in servers.

This company was originally small scale, offering quite affordable prices.

Thanks to Top Player’s Goose Duck Kill kickstarting their reputation, in subsequent collaborations, they secured server supply contracts for three games, Arknights, Pubg, and Eternity.

The prices are still the same, which is to say quite economical.

But the problem that followed was that as JingFa grew in scale, the cost of operation and maintenance also increased.

Although they weren’t losing money yet, they were still turning a profit.

But for the company, which used to make this much money when it was small, to make the same amount after expanding felt somewhat embarrassing.

Seeking better development, the company began to expand its connections and establish partnerships with more game manufacturers.

Currently, the server capacity they could spare was no longer sufficient.

If Top Player were to launch a new online game and it took off, JingFa’s server capacity might not hold up to the strain.

Therefore, they discussed the matter with Top Player in advance.

For new online games, Top Player could consider collaborating with other server providers. JingFa promised to reserve extra server capacity for Top Player first when they expand their scale in the future.

The prices would remain the same, considered as a token of appreciation for Top Player, their esteemed client.

Ke Jin could understand this.

Everyone is busy trying to make money, and one can’t expect to live on a single client alone.

Also, the range of game genres Top Player currently produces is quite diverse.

No one knows whether your next game will be a single-player or an online multiplayer.

Selling excess server capacity to other manufacturers isn’t inherently unreasonable.

"Alright, let Liu handle this, and just pass the final choice of the partner to me," Ke Jin nodded in agreement.

"...So, that was the financial report for the last month. Do you have any other instructions, Mr. Ke?" Once he finished reporting, Gou Chehua closed his folder.

"That’s all. You can go ahead with your work," Ke Jin waved his hand.

As Gou Chehua was about to step out of the office,

Ke Jin called out to him again.

"By the way, take this fish out."

Damn it.

He was hoping that the cursed fish would somehow turn his luck around.

But as it turned out, after several games, it wasn’t the games that were capsizing but the system itself.

Always flipping the wrong cards, such a jinxed thing!

Crap!

...

A few days passed in a flash.

Upon learning of Top Player’s server needs, several industry leaders rushed to meet with Ke Jin in Jianglin to express their sincerity personally.

Meeting with each one individually was too much hassle, so Ke Jin decided to see them all at once.

Top Player was no longer the small company it used to be, and if he had to worry about everything himself,

how could he ever play games?

Did I start a company and work myself to death making games, if not for the dream of one day being able to play games carefree?

Soon enough, the head of the business department, Liu Xuanxuan, knocked on the door and entered, informing Ke Jin that four people responsible for the server industry were already in the conference room waiting, and another was stuck in traffic but should arrive soon.

Upon hearing this, Ke Jin stood up to greet them.

After shaking hands with each of the leaders one by one,

they began to tout their advantages.

"Mr. Ke, our company ’JingFa’ has a long history in internet server infrastructure, entering the industry at the dawn of the new millennium. We have a very comprehensive set of solutions for sudden server issues, and our prices are..."

"Hmm..." Ke Jin nodded politely but didn’t say much, instead turning his attention to the next person.

"And your company? What advantages do you have?"

"Mr. Ke, the thing is, our servers employ the latest generation of LinX, with high kernel execution efficiency and fast response times. Moreover, we are known for our high stability and minimal network fluctuation. Additionally, one of our biggest strengths lies in..."

Ke Jin patiently listened to the presentations of all four companies, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

There was not much difference between them.

Some boasted stronger stability, some had faster solutions for server issues, while others offered lower prices.
