"My previous thinking was not quite right. I should no longer limit my thinking to price."
"I can't bear the price increase, and my good brothers can't bear the price drop, so the price part is a deadlock."
"Starting with price will never solve the problem."
"Then think about it from another angle. The key now is how to get players from GOG to flow back to ioi."
"Even if these players don't give up on GOG, as long as they can bring some traffic and some income to ioi, won't Good Brothers be able to sustain it?"
"Moreover, this is not considered a violation. It can only be regarded as a normal business exchange. The system should be able to fool it."
Pei Qian struggled for a long time before and couldn't come up with a good solution, but now he suddenly had an idea and found another idea.
Maybe this is the so-called "wisdom arises out of urgency"?
Seeing that my good brother was dying and the previous treatments were not working, I suddenly came up with a new treatment.
The good brother seems to be saved again!
Pei Qian immediately turned on the computer and recorded his general thoughts.
In short, it is to promote cooperation between GOG and ioi, and GOG will conduct some official activities to attract its own players to ioi.
Of course, players must be too lazy to move. At this time, certain rewards and stimulation are needed. For example, if you go to play ioi for a period of time, you can get a skin when you come back.
If only GOG was doing this, it would definitely look strange, and it would be easy for people to question the motives.
Therefore, we have to communicate with Zhidou Company and Longyu Group and ask them to cooperate and conduct similar activities symbolically.
But during the negotiation process, Pei Qian will make the greatest concessions possible.
For example, in this event, GOG gave some very good rewards, driving players to play ioi to get rewards; while ioi gave some relatively ordinary and useless rewards, so ioi players would not be bothered.
Movement, forming a one-way flow from GOG to ioi.
On the surface, it seems that the two games have reached a cooperative relationship to make the cake bigger together, but in fact it is a unilateral blood transfusion between GOG and ioi.
"Well, there shouldn't be any big problems with this idea. If the goal can be achieved, then ioi will definitely be able to stick to it for a while longer."
"It seems that no similar game has ever done this kind of linkage before, but Tengda just has to dare to be the first!"
In Pei Qian's impression, the linkage between games often only exists between games from the same company, or between games that do not have direct conflicts of interest.
For example, some stand-alone 3A masterpieces will engage in linkage activities. This is because there is not such a strong competitive relationship between 3A masterpieces. Players spend dozens of hours to get through one, and then they will look for the next one.
But MOBA games are different. There is fierce competition between each other. There is no such thing as clearing the level when playing this kind of game. Every MOBA game wants to tie players into the game 24 hours a day.
Therefore, in Pei Qian's impression, there seems to have never been any linkage activities between the two MOBA games.
It has never happened that your hero would make a guest appearance in my game, and we would get a set of special skins together, etc.
But this obviously couldn't stop Pei Qian's pace, and even accelerated his pace.
"The only question is whether Zhidou Company and Longyu Group will accept my proposal."
"Well...if ioi is still at its peak, they will definitely refuse, no doubt."
"But now GOG's market share, especially the market share of the national server, has far exceeded that of ioi. As long as I make enough concessions, it will be equivalent to GOG's unilateral blood transfusion to ioi. In the face of very real interest issues, I will point my finger.
The company’s top management should accept it.”
"Well, that's it."
"Although we may not be able to save our good brother, we must give it a try."
When it came to trying to lose money, Pei Qian was a very active person and immediately decided to call Eric.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Pei Qian hung up the phone.
"Sure enough, Eric is still full of doubts about my motives..."
"But the good thing is that he can't make a decision on this kind of thing alone and will ask the higher-ups for instructions."
"In this case, there should be hope."
After Pei Qian called to explain his purpose of coming and briefly put forward a few suggestions for cooperation, Eric fell into silence for more than a minute.
Obviously, Eric has always been very wary of Pei Qian.
Mr. Pei proposed a plan, an in-game linkage plan to guide players to each other. He very generously provided generous reward conditions on GOG's side, and also specifically emphasized that ioi does not need to give equal reward conditions.
, as long as it’s passable.
How to divert players is exactly what Eric and the entire Zhidou Company have been struggling with.
For MOBA games, active players are everything, because the number of active players will directly affect the game experience.
The small number of players means that there are few rookies, and it also means that the matching mechanism makes it more difficult to match opponents of similar strength.
Once the bottom layer of the matching mechanism collapses, the middle-level players will be reduced to the bottom-level players. They could have carried the whole game, but now they are always matched with opponents who are obviously stronger than themselves and are beaten. This mental imbalance will further aggravate the loss of players.
Condition.
In turn, the increase in active players can improve the game experience and enter a virtuous cycle.
That’s why it is said that the MOBA game is a winner-takes-all game. Only a few giants can reach the end in the same field, and latecomers will find it difficult to shake the position of the ruler.
On the surface, Mr. Pei’s proposal is obviously very tempting, because it can not only bring active players to ioi, but also bring income.
But Eric knew Mr. Pei very well. He always felt that there must be some conspiracy behind Mr. Pei's actions. On the surface, it seemed that they were helping each other in times of need. Who knows whether it would be a false way to destroy Guo and a Trojan horse to enter the city.
?
If Eric had the final say, he would immediately reject Mr. Pei's proposal.
But now he is just a tool man.
In order to better allow ioi to perform its duties and earn profits, the Dayak Group unknowingly tightened its control over the headquarters and major branches of the company.
Now, Eric must report the matter truthfully. Whether or not to cooperate depends on the decision of the top management of Dayak Group.
This will inevitably be accompanied by battles between high-level officials of different factions, and a more compromised or twisted plan may be reached in the end, but in any case, this is not something Eric can participate in.
Although he was deeply misunderstood by his good brother Eric, Pei Qian didn't care.
Anyway, I just do my best, obey fate, and be a good brother. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, then I can only give up.
With the efficiency of Dayak Group's top management, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled for a while.
But Pei Qian is not in a hurry. Although the current situation of ioi is not optimistic, it is not easy to die suddenly.
Pei Qian took two more sips of coffee and continued to check the situation in other departments.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that the person coming was Liang Qingfan.
The person in charge of the Sloth Apartment was not selected into the special training list for suffering travel, so he was able to cooperate with Chixing Studio some time ago to provide data support related to room types for the game "Real Estate Agent Simulator".
Pei Qian did not choose him for special training mainly because of two considerations.
On the one hand, although the Sloth Apartment is very popular, it does not make much money, and it is far away to recover the money spent on purchasing fixed assets; on the other hand, Liang Qingfan is also responsible for the site selection and design of the Tengda Building.
It is an important task, and this work cannot be delayed.
"Mr. Pei, regarding the location and design of the headquarters building, after a period of research, I have preliminary ideas here, and I would like to report to you."
Liang Qingfan said as he handed the plan in his hand to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian reached out and took it.
Liang Qingfan said: "First of all, there is the issue of site selection."
"From the current point of view, there are not many large areas of land in Jingzhou that can be used for the construction of the headquarters building. Of course, our choices will be limited."
"Jingzhou as a whole is expanding to the west and south, but the land in these popular areas is either under construction or has been auctioned and is waiting for development. Even if we are a large taxpayer in Jingzhou, we can work on some issues.
Enjoy certain conveniences, but there is still no way around this procedural issue."
"It would be okay if it was just one building, but Mr. Pei, your requirement is that the area should be as large as possible, so the ordinary small plot of land will naturally not meet the standards."
"So, the location I am considering is in the northeast of Jingzhou City, which is near the old industrial area."
"It happens that there is already a snack market, a hotel and other related industries here, and the subway line has also been planned. All things considered, it is a more suitable location."
Pei Qian fell into deep thought and said nothing.
He was not very satisfied with this location choice.
Because it is too close to the Panic Hostel and the snack market.
As we all know, it seems that inexplicable chemical reactions can easily occur between Tenda's industries, especially the geographical proximity, which is more likely to lead to some unpredictable changes.
But as Liang Qingfan said, there are really not many options to choose from.
Municipal planning is a long-term matter, and the use of a certain piece of land may have been decided a few years ago. Now is a time of rapid economic development and booming real estate companies. Various land uses in the city have been
It was a great grab.
It may not be difficult to find a small piece of land, but it may be difficult to find a piece of land large enough to accommodate the entire Tengda Group.
Because Pei Qian's purpose is to spend more money, the bigger the stall, the better. It is just one building, which obviously cannot meet Mr. Pei's need to spend money.
Pei Qian even had the idea to take advantage of this opportunity to repair the headquarters building to clear out his share of fixed assets.
So many fixed assets have already affected the settlement. If there are not enough funds during the construction of the headquarters building, Pei Qian can logically sell part of these buildings to reduce the settlement burden.
All things considered, this place is really the most suitable.
As for being too close to the Panic Hostel and the Food Market...
Thinking about it, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, the Tenda headquarters building can't make a profit, so wouldn't it just turn into an internet celebrity building? As long as it doesn't make too much money, then there's no problem.
Liang Qingfan continued: "As for the shape of the building... I also briefly designed a few."
"Mr. Pei, take a look, which one is more pleasing to the eye?"
“Or if there are some relatively clear design elements, they can also be added.”
