Chapter 1189 Propaganda without games! (Last day for the month
The company representatives who had just said they believed in science had a 180-degree change in their attitude in an instant.
Because people who make games are very sensitive to probability, other things will deceive people, but probability will never deceive people!
There is even a company's testing team leader who, with a spirit of curiosity that pays attention to details, wants to test all the office buildings and floors in this area to find the best location for Feng Shui treasures.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a big loss if they rented the wrong floor for the same rent?
After hearing the test team leader's analysis, everyone nodded.
Well, that’s indeed how it should be!
Although this behavior is absurd, but... everyone believes in metaphysics, does it matter whether it is absurd or not?
It’s important to seize the time and correct the bugs!
Even Yan Qi felt a little regretful.
Good guy, why didn’t I think of “looking for a signal” before renting a workspace?
We really should have searched for the best location in this Feng Shui treasure land, it was too hasty.
But after thinking about it, it’s not a big problem. The worst thing I can do is become a second-tier dealer in the future, sublet these workstations, and then move them to a place where bug hunting is more efficient.
Everyone quickly took action, dispersed, and searched nearby to find the "center point of the Feng Shui treasure land".
If there is a fortune teller who can divide Jinding points at this time, the efficiency may be higher, but it doesn't matter if there is not. Anyway, the game on the mobile phone is like a radar. Go to a new place and test it for ten minutes to see the number of bugs.
, you can roughly guess what the Feng Shui of this place is like.
Moreover, everyone is still not sure whether this Feng Shui treasure is spread out from a certain center point to the surrounding areas, or is it distributed irregularly in a certain area?
So, you have to test a few places to find the perfect location.
Everyone kept measuring from noon to afternoon, and finally determined a rough range.
It seems... the best Feng Shui treasure land has been occupied by Chaolu Game Platform!
The effect of finding bugs basically spreads from this area to the surrounding area, and the entire area roughly presents a spherical shape.
Therefore, the effect is better if it is on the same floor of the Chaolu Game Platform, or two floors directly above or directly below the Chaolu Game Platform office area.
Any further away and the effect will be greatly reduced or even disappear completely.
After the test, everyone was not calm anymore.
Is there really such a mysterious place in this world?
If that's the case, why hasn't anyone discovered it before?
Later, after a little investigation, I found that this office building is located in a relatively remote location and is relatively old. The companies that previously rented office space here were basically in traditional industries, and there were no Internet companies or gaming companies.
Obviously, this place is buried!
Many people were skeptical at first, but after testing the surroundings, they completely fell in love with metaphysics.
The news was also shared with the group immediately.
It’s not that everyone is so selfless and willing to share their Feng Shui treasures with others. The main reason is that this matter is so bizarre that it’s really uncomfortable not to talk about it!
…
Chaolu gaming platform.
Li Yada had just finished her own business and took the time to look at the chat group.
I wonder what people from these game companies are talking about?
Although this is theoretically a work group, it is formed between different companies after all, and the atmosphere in the group is relatively free and relaxed, so there are a lot of chat messages and the topics discussed are relatively daily.
Li Yada is busy at work and has turned to 99+ after not watching for a few hours.
Looking through the chat records of these people again, Li Yada was stunned.
"ah?"
"What are these people talking about?"
"Is this building a geomantic treasure? The probability of bugs is particularly high?"
"And the center of the Feng Shui treasure land is right here, right here?"
"That's outrageous! How can this kind of thing be discussed openly in the group? Don't you gamers have any scientific common sense?"
Li Yada was puzzled.
Is this a good Feng Shui place for finding bugs? We’ve all moved here for a long time, and we haven’t noticed it yet?
The programs for Chaolu Game Platform have been under development, and the number of bugs is pretty good. I don’t feel any difference from when I was at Tenda.
The other people are basically all transferred from Tenda's game department and TPDb website. They originally worked on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of Shenhua Grand View, but they didn't feel anything strange when they came here.
Li Yada was a little speechless, watching a group of people still working hard to attract more people to rent workstations here and take advantage of the Feng Shui treasure land, and hurriedly clarified in the group.
"The Feng Shui treasure land thing should be a joke. Don't take it seriously. I didn't feel any changes at all."
But the people in the group didn't believe it at all.
"We tested it and it's really different!"
"It doesn't matter. If you believe it, believe it. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Anyway, the location of Feng Shui Treasure Land is almost sold out. Those who come late will not be able to rent it."
"In fact, there is no need to arrange the entire testing team. Just arrange one or two testers to look for bugs here, and then the development team will make modifications in their own company. The cost of two workstations can greatly improve the discovery of bugs.
The speed is so cost-effective!”
"It's just two workstations. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you can't be fooled!"
"I didn't believe it at first, until I actually came here and tried it..."
"It's true. I'm in Shanghai. I'm going to send two testers on a business trip. Can all the bosses leave a place for our company? If it's true, I'll thank you very much!"
There are some companies in the group that are not located in Jingzhou. Seeing that everyone in the group talks so well, I inevitably get curious and want to send someone here to take a look.
What if it's true?
How much does it cost to rent two workstations? If the efficiency of finding bugs can be greatly improved, it would be very profitable!
Li Yada tried to clarify, but found that it didn't seem to work at all.
"Forget it...whatever."
"It doesn't cost me any money to rent a workspace here anyway. Regardless of whether this place can improve the efficiency of bug fixes, it's good to give these people some psychological comfort."
Li Yada knew that it was meaningless to talk about science and rationality in front of these people with serious metaphysical ideas. They would not believe it anyway.
It’s better to concentrate on the game platform!
However, after being busy at work for a while, she still couldn't forget this matter.
"How about... I also go for a test?"
"Well, take a game demo from any company, run it on this floor, and count the bugs; then run it outside the building, count the bugs, and you can see if there is a difference?"
…
…
Thursday morning, August 16th.
Meng Chang came to Chaolu Game Platform early in the morning, ready to discuss the second step of the publicity plan with Tang Yishu and Li Yada, as well as the specific time for the trial operation of the game platform.
However, as soon as I reached the floor where the Chaolu Game Platform is located, and before I walked in, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does it seem... to be more lively?
He remembered clearly that when Chaolu Game Platform first came, there were still many vacant workstations on this floor. Although a few more workstations seemed to be rented out later, there were still a lot of vacancies.
But now, it seems that all the workstations are occupied?
Not only that, there are also many people without workstations, sitting on chairs in the rest area, or simply leaning on the side with notebooks in their hands, not knowing what they are busy with.
Meng Chang was very confused.
This office building is not in a prime location and the environment is not particularly good. Why are so many people suddenly renting it?
And there were people coming and going, looking quite busy and excited.
Meng Chang came to the conference room of Chaolu Gaming Platform with doubts and had a meeting with Tang Yishu and Li Yada.
"Why have so many companies moved in recently? What happened to this building? Has the rent been reduced?" Meng Chang asked.
Li Yada was also a little bit dumbfounded and recounted what happened recently.
"This building is a geomantic treasure. Has the efficiency of finding bugs been improved?"
"How is this possible!"
Meng Chang was also surprised.
How come so many people believe in such metaphysical things?
That’s outrageous!
Li Yada sighed: "I was just like you at first, I didn't believe it at all. But I tested it with a buggy game, and it turned out to be true..."
"In this area, the probability of bugs has indeed increased. This is real data measured."
"But our development process has not been affected. The main reason is that the external game companies are more affected."
"And I found that those games that have been tested and rarely have bugs seem to have no bugs. In other words, even if there are bugs, they are of a very low probability. They are basically untouchable and do not affect the game experience.
.”
"Now I don't know how to explain this matter. Is it metaphysics or pure luck..."
As Li Yada spoke, Tang Yishu's head lowered next to her.
Meng Chang fell into deep thought: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Yada waved her hand: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's a good thing anyway. These companies can find bugs faster, and the game can be launched earlier."
"Let's talk about the publicity plan first."
Meng Chang nodded and started to get to the point.
"The first phase of publicity work has been successfully completed."
"There are two purposes. The first is to leave an impression on netizens and let Chaolu Game Platform gain a certain degree of attention and popularity; the second is to let game companies know about our platform and get as many games as possible before the trial operation of the platform.
"
"I heard that the development of the game platform program has been completed, so... do you have a clear idea about the specific day when the trial operation will begin?"
"For the second step of the publicity plan, I have prepared two plans and are waiting for the platform to officially start trial operation."
Li Yada thought about it and then said: "I originally wanted to officially start the trial operation on Friday, that is, tomorrow."
"but……"
"The worst case scenario we expected has happened."
"Before, I thought it was just an isolated phenomenon that those two companies encountered a lot of bugs, but now it seems that it is a common phenomenon... Most of the games we cooperate with cannot be launched because there are too many bugs."
"The only ones that meet the criteria are three or four old games that have been in operation for a long time."
"Although trial operation can begin, there are only four games on the entire platform. Is this ridiculous? Moreover, these four games are all old games that have been in operation for a long time."
"It's better not to open this trial operation than not open it..."
Meng Chang said: "In that case, let's just use the promotional plan without games that I prepared before!"
"Four games and no games are the same plan."
Li Yada was a little surprised: "You really came up with a promotion plan without a game? Is it possible?"
"The gaming platform has been put into trial operation, but there is not a single game on it. Isn't this too outrageous?"
Meng Chang smiled slightly: "It can be done!"
"However... we need a little cooperation from the platform to make a small function."
Li Yada asked: "What small function?"
Meng Chang: "According to the previous arrangement, all game information pages and promotional pages will be open as usual. However, players cannot download these games that have not had their bugs corrected."
"On the details page of each game, the number of bugs currently being fixed is displayed, which changes in real time!"
Li Yada was a little surprised: "Is this okay?"
"Hmm... maybe it will actually be effective."
"On the one hand, the game library looks more substantial and not as shabby; on the other hand, the game is still fixing bugs, which is in line with the trial operation of our platform; the most important thing is that players can know the current progress and have a sense of participation.
feel."
"But this doesn't really solve the problem, right? Players still can't play the game, and maybe some players will be disgusted..."
Meng Chang smiled slightly: "Of course I have expected this. It doesn't matter. This is also part of the publicity plan."
"Moreover, combined with the bug-finding issues of these companies, I also thought of a very good follow-up plan..."
“It’s just that we need to further demonstrate the authenticity of this ‘Feng Shui Treasure Land’ and confirm that there are indeed no bugs after these companies make the changes, so that this plan can be fully implemented!”
