Pei Qian came to the company as usual to check on the status of various departments.
"Huh? Chaolu Game Platform actually held a bug-finding contest on the weekend?"
"And was scolded?"
Pei Qian put aside the online discussion for a while and was surprised to find that Chaolu Game Platform was scolded again.
Hey, why do you say again?
Obviously, Pei Qian can no longer remember how many times this month Chaolu Gaming Platform has surprised him.
The trigger for this scolding was the bug-finding contest held by Chaolu Game Platform.
According to the regulations, anyone who finds the same number of bugs as marked on the platform in a game on the platform can get a bonus of 1,000 yuan, and if you find one more bug, you can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan.
As soon as this event came out, it indeed triggered a very enthusiastic response.
Because players have never seen this kind of activity!
Players have become accustomed to bugs in games. But now there is a game platform that allows players to come to the platform to find bugs? Will they be rewarded with bonuses if they find them?
Moreover, a sky-high bonus was directly offered!
There are currently very few games on the platform. There are only about a dozen games in total, all of which are mobile games. These games were submitted to the Chaolu Game Platform at about the same time as "Blade of the Empire". The bugs have just been corrected and they were officially launched not long ago.
.
The number of bugs in these games basically ranges from 1 to 3.
Some old games that have been in operation for a long time and have zero bugs recorded on the platform also participate in this activity, but players cannot get the 1,000 yuan bonus, and they can only get 100,000 yuan.
If you find one or two bugs in a specific game, you can get 100,000 yuan. What a temptation!
Therefore, the news spread quickly, and a large number of players poured into the Chaolu gaming platform, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Pei Qian checked the time. This event was officially launched on Friday, and a weekend has passed now.
And this activity produced some chain reactions.
For example, the disrecommendation rates of the two previous games have stabilized!
Originally, the de-recommendation rates of these two games were already on the verge of being removed from the shelves, and their growth rate was still accelerating. However, after starting this bug-finding activity, they persisted.
Even the recommendation rate has increased significantly.
But this is not because the players on the platform have discovered it, but because... the players want to keep these two games to find bugs!
Both of these are old games that have been running on other platforms for a long time, and they have very few bugs. For players, games with fewer bugs are of course more cost-effective to find.
According to the regulations of the platform, if a game has 0 bugs marked, then the player can get 100,000 as long as he finds 1 bug; and if another game has 3 bugs, the player must find 3 bugs to get 100,000.
To get 1,000, you need to find 4 bugs to get 100,000.
In the eyes of players, there is obviously a big difference in the difficulty of finding bugs between the two games.
Therefore, these games with relatively few bugs have naturally become popular. Many players have rushed in to experience the game, and even spend a small amount of money to unlock specific gameplay in the game, just to explore every corner of the game.
Find bugs!
This weekend, Chaolu Game Platform released a batch of new games, including "Blade of the Empire", all of which have had their bugs corrected and reached Tang Yishu's standards.
Among these games, those with fewer bugs have naturally become key targets. Players immediately swarmed in, filling up all the new servers that were opened.
On the surface, this seems to be a good thing, after all, it has brought a lot of popularity to the Chaolu gaming platform.
But after two days of fermentation over the weekend, things slowly changed.
The trend of online discussions is a bit wrong!
"Liar! This gaming platform is a complete liar! I obviously found the bug, but after submitting it, the official didn't even reply to me!"
"Boss 666! Upload the video to the Ellie Island website and we will give you likes so that the officials can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb!"
"This platform is really bad. How can you pretend to be someone who has no money? They blew out a bonus of 100,000 yuan, but in the end they refused to give it away. Are you pretending to be someone and standing up at the same time?"
"Hey, have you all found the bug? I've been playing in the dark and sleepless for two days, but I haven't found the bug at all..."
"I did find a few language errors, but the official thieves said this is not a bug! It must be a program bug!"
"Don't worry, everyone is scolding me to death. This platform is just playing tricks and has no intention of giving any money!"
There are basically two types of people scolding people on the Internet. The first type is that they have found a bug, but the official does not reply, and they are obviously trying to default on the credit; the other type is that the official is simply malicious hype, and they write casually.
A number of bugs were calculated to trick players into finding bugs and use this gimmick to increase popularity.
The latter was basically brought up by the former. Many people scolded them, but in fact they may not have found any bugs in the game. They just saw other people scolding them, so they were incited.
Pei Qian was simply surprised and happy.
Who came up with this event?
It's probably Meng Chang!
Li Yada is so simple-minded and only knows how to design games, so he probably can't come up with such a bad idea.
Moreover, this kind of activity that looks good on the surface but is actually a trap is very consistent with Meng Chang's character and motivations.
This event was quite successful, at least it brought out all the negative public opinions.
The only bad thing is, how can you not give people money?
Money must be given! No matter how many bugs are found, the money will be paid to fix it!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately called Meng Chang.
"Hello? Mr. Pei?" There was a sound of typing on the keyboard from the other side of the phone. Meng Chang seemed to be busy with something.
Pei Qian is 120% satisfied with Meng Chang's work attitude.
It’s so reliable to have Meng Chang help you keep an eye on the Chaolu Game Platform! It’s so reassuring!
"Did you come up with this bug-finding activity?" Pei Qian asked.
Meng Chang: "Yes, Mr. Pei, what do you think?"
"Awesome! What a genius idea!" Pei Qian was full of praise. "But there is one problem. We still have to keep our word. We must pay as much as we say, and we can't default on the debt."
Meng Chang said matter-of-factly: "Of course, Mr. Pei, how can we default on the bill?"
"But we are not at work this weekend, and we only started processing the videos submitted by these players this morning."
"We will record all the content one by one and publish it on the official website. If someone really finds enough bugs, then we will definitely pay the full amount and will not save any money."
Pei Qian was a little surprised: "Since you didn't plan to default on the debt from the beginning, why didn't you tell the players in advance that they would have a weekend off?"
Meng Chang smiled: "Of course it is for some special purpose, Mr. Pei, you must understand."
Pei Qian immediately understood: "Oh! Of course."
"Very good. Now that you have a very deep and thorough understanding of your work, I'm relieved."
“The momentum of publicity work this month is good, keep it up!”
“It’s almost the end of the month, if you keep at it, the commission is waving to you!”
Meng Chang was very excited: "Okay, Mr. Pei!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Meng Chang was encouraged.
Sure enough, no matter how unexpected the plan he gave, Mr. Pei could see the intention behind it at a glance.
This shows that the publicity plan he racked his brains to come up with is still in President Pei's plan.
Meng Chang checked the current public opinion on the Internet and shook his head with some regret.
"It's a pity that I didn't manage the time very well."
"I thought these players would wait at least a week or so before starting a fight, but I didn't expect them to be so impatient. After two days, they couldn't wait any longer."
"Why don't we seriously find a few days before we start causing trouble?"
Meng Chang originally planned it perfectly. He started this bug-finding activity last weekend and it will last for two weeks. It is expected that players will completely lose their patience by this weekend, which is the end of the month, and the negative public opinion on the Chaolu Game Platform on the Internet will reach a peak.
In this way, Meng Chang’s bonus can be maximized.
However, because the players on the platform were very impetuous, they lost their patience within two days and started making trouble.
This slightly affected Meng Chang's plan, and it was unlikely that it would be delayed for another four or five days.
The main reason is that if there is no response, the players will stop scolding me and the negative public opinion will not continue to grow.
In that case, when the video comes out next month, I won’t be able to rush it. This promotion plan is equivalent to a break of three to five days, which is very imperfect.
To continue to maintain the popularity of this matter, we can only clarify it first.
Meng Chang has already written a new official announcement and sent it to Li Yada.
This announcement responds to the players' current questions, stating that the reason for the lack of response over the weekend is because the company is on normal holidays, and that all bugs submitted by players will be checked one by one and responded to.
And we remind you again that the videos sent by players must comply with the rules, must be the game version of the official platform, have not been maliciously modified, the video has not been maliciously edited or produced, and can be reproduced twice.
If any player is dissatisfied with the results, they can come to a specific location in Jingzhou for a demonstration. The Chaolu Game Platform will conduct a live broadcast on the entire network. Once confirmed, not only will the round trip expenses and accommodation expenses be reimbursed, but the bonus will be doubled.
Of course, when a player comes to Jingzhou, he will definitely not be arranged to test in the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" of Chaolu Game Platform, but will be arranged in a hotel venue, far away.
After the arrangements were almost made, Meng Chang leaned on the chair and sighed softly.
"I'm still not proficient in Pei's propaganda methods. I can't do it like Mr. Pei does with ease and ease."
"I feel that although my plan is generally developing according to the expected plan, there are still many unexpected situations that disrupt the rhythm. Although it can be remedied, it is never so natural."
"But...it's still much better than before."
Meng Chang recalled that when he was making plans to get commissions, he was very nervous. He was afraid that if he accidentally missed something, the project would explode in advance, and his commission would be completely wasted.
But now, Meng Chang has completely lost this feeling.
Because he has mastered all the details of the entire project, he has already predicted when and how the project will become popular, so naturally he no longer has to worry about it.
Now Meng Chang only has one feeling, that is, he can't wait for the end of the month to come soon!
