Chapter 408 Market Driven
As long as you are a discerning person, you can see that when League of Legends is invincible in the entire e-sports market, Internet cafes are actually renovated very few times.
Now the configuration renovations that Internet cafes are driven by all the PUBG are brought about by PUBG.
Because you don’t need any configuration to play League of Legends, the requirements are very low, and all Internet cafes and Internet cafes can definitely be driven.
At that time, steam games were not popular in China, and Tencent did not launch wegeam like now. All Internet cafes were refurbished as they were. At most, they would update peripherals such as mouse and keyboard. As for the graphics card of the machine, things like CPU will definitely not move.
A machine can be renovated with peripherals for a maximum of several hundred yuan, but it is necessary to update the internals of the host. That machine costs at least a few thousand yuan.
When Sun Yaosheng came here to be a network administrator, the PUBG had not become popular yet. The battle royale game that rose at that time was h1z1 that Sun Yaosheng had already come into contact with very early.
It can be said that he witnessed the rise of the battle royale game in Internet cafes and players. The prosperous h1z1 Red Army was ready to move.
Sun Yaosheng believes that if the live broadcast platform had not banned this game, the most popular game may not have been the turn of PUBG.
He understood that the game that is popular is not necessarily the PUBG, but the game that is completely popular is the Battle Royale type.
However, h1z1 was banned, and there was only PUBG in the market. So players were pouring in bit by bit, and Blue Hole was reformed and updated bit by bit to make the game better bit by bit, which also requires a process.
Sun Yaosheng watched this process. When Qin Huo was gambled to renovate all the computer configurations of their entire Internet cafe, Sun Yaosheng once thought Qin Huo was crazy.
When it comes to the IQ and choices in the game, Sun Yaosheng definitely surpasses Qin Huo. But when it comes to business opportunities, he is definitely not as good as Qin Huo.
Qin Huo is a qualified businessman. He is not just a rich second generation, but can make himself richer with the start-up capital provided by his family.
Some people are only able to make their families richer.
However, Qin Huo now gave up on business and chose a path he wanted to do but had never done.
In fact, this is very similar to Sun Yaosheng, but Sun Yaosheng is not as good as Qin Huo, and he has no startup capital. All he can do is to go to college safely and fulfill his parents' expectations for him.
For this expectation, he gave up his most precious time for four full years.
Professional players, from the age of eighteen to twenty-two, can be said to be their peak at the age of the year, and once this age passes, they will naturally not be able to come back.
Or the four of them now have various reasons for their sharks at that time.
Only after becoming an adult and having your own life can you have the opportunity to choose what you want to do.
So the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a game that brings hope to the dreams of the four of them, and Sun Yaosheng also hopes that it will get better and better.
In fact, after the popularity of PUBG, the one who benefits the most is not Internet cafes, Tencent, or players, but hardware manufacturers.
Before the PUBG, it was actually difficult to sell graphics cards and CPUs, and not many people bought them, or even very few.
Except for those who are truly rich, normal families will not update a top-end computer for no reason. It is enough to be able to drive League of Legends.
But after the popularity of PUBG, the prices of these configurations have risen sharply, and more and more people are buying, which is not the best opportunity for these manufacturers.
As the boss of an internet cafe, Qin Huo has conducted in-depth research on this aspect. Otherwise, he would not have been so desperate to do things that he was unsure of.
According to his estimate, at least 20% of Internet cafes across the country have now increased their configuration in batches, and at least three million computers have undergone additional configuration upgrades of no less than 3,000 yuan. Then the appreciation space is worth at least more than 9 billion!
Including the machine configuration upgrade of Chinese players themselves, the additional configuration upgrade of no less than 2 million household users and no less than 5,000 yuan will be at least 10 billion market space.
Just a PUBG game has allowed various hardware manufacturers to expand a 19 billion market in the Chinese computer market for about one year.
This place is not a global market, nor is it a market for surrounding supporting construction.
All of these are the market brought by this game. In the past League of Legends, there was no need to change the configuration for a few years, and these manufacturers had no room for money.
Therefore, the national server of PUBG is not judged. People tied to the entire chain of interests are very anxious. They are quite ready for everything, but they only need the east wind.
However, ordinary people like Sun Yaosheng cannot control such things. Although it does not prevent them from understanding them, they cannot access the main problems.
Sun Yaosheng didn't want to know the specific reason. All he could do was wait quietly for the good news of the national server.
If the Chinese server can be released, it will be happy. If they can't, they can still play this game through steam.
Overcoming this problem, Sun Yaosheng's live broadcast time during this period was almost always there. After all, he has a live broadcast duration task every month.
Training and live broadcasts are both good, which is still a good thing for Sun Yaosheng.
During the live broadcast, when Sun Yaosheng matched his teammates with a double row, he accidentally matched a girl, and this girl completely made Sun Yaosheng feel the pain of taking care of his sister...
In fact, after the first game, Sun Yaosheng didn't really want to play with this person, but the audience in the live broadcast room really wanted Sun Yaosheng to continue to take her, so...
When Sun Yaosheng and the others surrounded a room on the left and right...
Sun Yaosheng: "Is there any thunder? Throw one inside."
She: "Yes, yes, I'll switch."
A few seconds later, Sun Yaosheng saw a thunder thrown at the door frame at a tricky angle and then bounced back to his crotch at a tricky angle...
Sun Yaosheng: “…….”
She: "Dead?"
Sun Yaosheng: “……it’s me.”
She: "Yeah, what's going on?"
Sun Yaosheng: "It's okay..."
...
Then, Sun Yaosheng was far away from the safety zone and there were no cars around him.
She: "I have a car here, don't panic, I'll go back and pick you up right away."
Sun Yaosheng nodded, and was a little moved at that time.
Sun Yaosheng: "It's okay, I can still hold on... Damn why are you dead?"
She: "Ride a motorcycle and hit me and killed me..."
Sun Yaosheng: "It's okay..."
...
When Sun Yaosheng was knocked down and found a safe place to climb to her, someone suddenly hit Sun Yaosheng,
Sun Yaosheng: "There are still people around me, and I can't see him, so you can hide it quickly."
She: "I saw it, I saw it, I was fighting."
Sun Yaosheng: "Can you beat me? Why are there anyone else hitting me?"
She: "He's dead."
Sun Yaosheng: "...that box is me, it turns out that you have always hit me."
She: "Yeah, sorry."
Sun Yaosheng: "It's okay..."
