If you lack friends and brothers, having plenty of money will do; you have to have one or the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, although Chen Ba made money, he indeed didn’t have many good brothers or friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connections are a must to expand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Tianba Studio’s main business is game production and distribution, which seldom intersects with others...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was that saying again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianba Studio mainly makes games, correctly, but if you truly think Tianba Studio earns money purely from games, you’re too naive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Chen, I’ve heard so much about you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, hello!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shaking hands with the CEO of a 4A advertising marketing planning company, Chen Ba smiled broadly and said: \"President Qin? I remember you, you came to our company to discuss business before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, that’s me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Addressed as President Qin, the middle-aged man smiled and replied: \"President Chen, I’m very interested in your ’Don’t Leave After School’! Many games profit from ads, but you’re the first to share advertising revenues with users...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Qin owns an advertising company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The business primarily involves TV ads, but in recent years, it has gradually shifted towards internet ads and short video ads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, clients have such needs, so they must strive to meet them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While shifting business focus, when dealing with Tianba Studio, his initial contact involved \"Star Emperor\" GAL League ads and sponsorships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he delved deeper into \"Don’t Leave After School,\" this \"unique\" game, and began strengthening collaboration with Tianba Studio, even becoming a fixed partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why he highly praises \"Don’t Leave After School,\" showering Chen Ba with compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba is well aware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advertising operation model for \"Don’t Leave After School\" initially received little enthusiasm; companies placing ads typically sought them out independently, without using advertising agencies as intermediaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was normal, as advertising agencies found it laughable, believing the model would grind to a halt after two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew, \"Don’t Leave After School\" didn’t halt but thrived. With an increase in online players, users were as active as those on well-known portals and social platforms, attracting advertising agencies to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Qin was the first to seize the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the strong marketing capabilities of \"Don’t Leave After School,\" his advertising company earned significant profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But good times are ending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba already decided that from June this year, the advertising slots and sponsorship opportunities for \"Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm\" would be managed by a professional operations and strategic team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means Chen Ba doesn’t want to negotiate business with advertisers through intermediaries like President Qin any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to bypass intermediaries and establish direct communication and collaboration between advertisers and the advertising platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm\" will support advertisers to \"recharge\" a certain amount of advertising fees, making deductions based on ad clicks and completion rates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put simply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the advertising resources and sponsorship channels for \"Don’t Leave After School\" had to be handled through intermediaries or middlemen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, it will follow a model similar to topping up your mobile or electricity credit: you wish to place an ad, then just pay directly; as for how ads are placed, the amount of traffic and audience pushed, that’s determined by Tianba Studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happens to advertising companies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ll still have business, but not as much profit as before. Companies like President Qin will focus on creating and shooting ads, with clients introduced by Chen Ba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t ideal, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Qin’s expression was somewhat grim, seemingly surprised by Ba’s ruthless decision to not only excel in his game but also seize the advertising sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba patted President Qin’s shoulder expectantly and said: \"I’m introducing clients to you, isn’t that good? Other advertising platforms might not introduce clients to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, introducing clients is beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you have the guts, don’t charge a commission! Free clients, I’d definitely thank you for eight generations, but when clients come with a commission...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Qin sighed, yet he didn’t oppose Chen Ba’s proposition. He understood it only meant slightly less profit; not agreeing might mean earning nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to the disheartened President Qin, Chen Ba turned and shoulder-bumped NVIDIA’s regional manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they discussed agency business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there’s little to discuss with NVIDIA since they primarily sell chips and non-consumer-grade graphics cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For agency collaboration, Chen Ba’s main discussions are with consumer terminal OEMs like Daren Shuo, Tragic Red, and Shrunken Star.\u003C\u002Fp>",896,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","e74699b5d207dec642086757c69bd7e2d24b302e2c5ab6f763de733660918e16","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-417","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-415",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
