After sending Meng Chang away, Pei Qian looked at the time and saw that today's work was almost done.
I have to make another trip tomorrow, Saturday, because of the special arrangements for this year's National Day holiday.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on September 30, which is the Sunday the day after tomorrow, coinciding with the National Day that follows.
Therefore, this year’s holiday arrangement is a very rare eight-day long holiday. I will go to work as usual tomorrow, Saturday, and then from Sunday, September 30th to Sunday, October 7th.
I have to wait until October 8th to officially start work.
Originally, Pei Qian planned not to come tomorrow and just give himself a nine-day holiday to rest and relax, but he couldn't come because according to the original plan, the "Gods Fantasy, Reaching the Peak Together" with ioi was planned.
The activities will officially start tomorrow.
The timing was quite coincidental, as it happened to coincide with the Golden Week holiday.
In fact, Pei Qian originally thought that there was no need to rush the matter, and suggested that if there was not enough preparation time, it could be postponed until after the holiday.
But ioi disagreed. Apparently they felt that the Golden Week holiday could create a better chemical reaction with the event, and they could take this opportunity to gain more popularity, and they didn't want to give up so easily.
So Pei Qian had no choice but to cooperate with them and let his employees work harder to get the event online tomorrow.
…
…
September 29th, Saturday, the last working day before the holiday.
This time Pei Qian did not go to his office, but came to this floor of Tenda Games to find Min Jingchao to learn about the preparations for the event "Fantasy of the Gods, Together at the Peak" and to prevent accidents in advance.
Although Pei Qian feels that the risk of this activity is very low and it is unlikely that any accidents will happen, it is always necessary to observe more.
After all, employees are about to go on vacation. Even if something goes wrong during the long vacation, it will be too late to correct it.
As soon as I walked to the office area of the game department, I saw Yu Fei first.
At this time, the former online novel author, now the acting lead designer of Tenda Games, was looking at the design draft on the computer screen with a complicated expression, studying the relevant knowledge carefully.
Obviously, the previous split of "Eternal Reincarnation" still had a certain impact on him.
Although Mr. Pei has repeatedly emphasized that this was not a big mistake and that it was a blessing in disguise in terms of results, Yu Fei obviously still cannot completely let go.
He feels that his position is very important. If he does not do it well, it will affect others and even make the efforts of his colleagues in vain, so he has been working hard to supplement relevant knowledge recently.
But it can be seen from his expression that things are not going well.
After all, game design is a highly specialized industry. People like Huang Sibo, Min Jingchao and others basically have experience in grassroots execution planning before being promoted to chief planners. Although the promotion is a bit fast,
But at least I was an industry insider before, so it’s not too outrageous.
And Yu Fei can only be regarded as a game enthusiast at best!
Forcibly arranged in the position of the chief designer, some simple problems can be solved easily, but if the situation is slightly more complicated, it will be difficult to deal with.
The only good news for him is that if he persists for a while, Hu Xianbin will be back soon.
Seeing Yu Fei's current situation, Pei Qian was very satisfied.
This was obviously a scene he was looking forward to seeing!
You said that Tenda Game Department has changed the chief planner so many times, is it useful? Changing the soup does not change the medicine!
No matter how the main planner is changed, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, no matter where he is promoted from, in the end the game will become popular, who is there to explain it!
Mr. Pei also has a reason. Who are you people? You asked me to lead Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Hu Xianbin... These are all crazy people. They are all versatile treasure employees. They were not available before.
He is so airtight that he looks like an ordinary executive planner.
Is he worthy of this ordinary position? No, he is too capable, you know.
Any one who can be the mastermind can make a good game that will go down in history. Why do you think they all get together in the Tenda game department?
But now it's better. After Yu Fei was replaced, the script finally became normal.
But Pei Qian also has some worries.
The main reason is that Hu Xianbin should be back in a month, and by then he will lose the talent of Yu Fei.
Let him go back to writing novels?
That won't work. He is making money for the Dingmin Chinese website over there, and Hu Xianbin is making money for Tenda Games here. It is really a heavy loss for Mr. Pei.
In fact, according to the speed at which Tenda's game department chief planner was updated, Hu Xianbin should have taken the Dream Fund and left.
However, something went wrong in the last vote, and his and Bao Xu's positions were inexplicably swapped.
Pei Qian thought for a while, he would have to wait half a year for the next vote, and even if he voted, he might not be able to vote for Hu Xianbin.
It can only be corrected manually.
If you find a reason to send Hu Xianbin away, won't Yu Fei stay?
Of course, Pei Qian can also guess that Yu Fei will definitely refuse. But this can be solved easily. Pei Qian only needs to tell him that the selection of the chief designer is of great importance and must be considered in the long term, and he must use the "drag" tactic.
That's OK.
Let Yu Fei take over the job first. Don't ask where the new chief planner is. If you ask, he is still being selected. Just give it one more month and someone will take over for you soon.
Well, this is a good plan!
Satisfied, Pei Qian passed over Yu Fei, who was frowning and meditating on the design draft, and went to find Min Jingchao.
But Yu Fei didn't know that his fate was already sealed. He was still looking forward to Hu Xianbin's return after the vacation, and that he could also return to the author's inspiration class on the Destination Chinese website to happily write the new book he had conceived for a long time.
…
Seeing Mr. Pei coming, Min Jingchao stood up quickly.
"How are you preparing for the event with ioi?" Pei Qian asked.
Min Jingchao answered truthfully: "We are almost ready. The relevant functions have been completed and the reward content of the event has been finalized. An announcement will be made on the official website in a while."
In fact, when she first learned about the specific content of this event, Min Jingchao was also very unhappy.
A lot of the content may not be felt when spoken verbally, but once it is put on paper and everything is spelled out one by one, it will be very obvious.
It can be clearly seen from the terms of cooperation between the two parties that Tenda has a long list of terms, and each clause is very clearly stipulated, making it difficult to blur the past; on the other hand, Dayak Group and Longyu Group have
There are only three or four simple clauses, and they are all written in vague terms.
It is even more obvious when looking at the number of pages. Tenda has four or five pages of relevant requirements and restrictions, while the other party only has one page.
In this kind of contract, the more vague the content is, the more room there is for interpretation. Even if a lawsuit is actually filed, there will be a lot of room for play.
Min Jingchao's first impression of this contract was very poor, and he even felt a bit baffled.
GOG is currently in a good development situation. It can just do its own activities to expand its user base. Does it need to be involved with ioi?
Is it normal for the two games to remain estranged from each other?
But after hearing that this was Mr. Pei's request, Min Jingchao calmed down and thought about it, and felt that Mr. Pei had another deep meaning.
So I did it without any objection.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with Min Jingchao's attitude. He briefly went through the announcement of this event and found no major problems.
After all, this unequal treaty was signed by President Pei himself, and its main purpose was to provide blood transfusion to ioi. What big problem could there be?
"Okay, let's make an announcement."
"By the way, you should also keep an eye on the trends of this event during the holidays. If anything happens, report it to me as soon as possible."
"I'll give you three times your salary for overtime work during holidays."
This is not a big job, and it will not have any impact on profits. It helps to detect problems as soon as possible, and it can also pay more wages. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Min Jingchao nodded: "No problem, Mr. Pei, this is my job!"
After Mr. Pei left, Min Jingchao arranged for his subordinates to issue an announcement, and communicated with Zhao Xuming from Longyu Group, preparing to officially update the client tonight and start activities.
After all these things were arranged, Min Jingchao took a look at the players' reactions to the announcement.
As expected, GOG players also found it quite puzzling.
"Ah? Did I read that correctly? GOG and ioi, the two bitter rivals, would also engage in joint activities in their lifetime?"
"Surprised! And you still encourage us to play ioi? Isn't this activity arranged by an insider in the company?"
"Oh, ioi is already declining. Do we need to cooperate with them? If we have the money, we might as well cooperate with other types of game manufacturers."
"No! I am a loyal member of GOG, how can I be a traitor? If you want me to play ioi, there is no way!"
"But, this reward is so generous, and there are even skins for free."
"Ah? Really? Where is it? I'm really giving you a skin! I'm going to download the ioi client right away..."
Although some players expressed incomprehension and even dissatisfaction with the linkage between GOG and ioi, when they heard about the generous rewards, they immediately said it was "really cool" and went to download the ioi client.
On the other hand, the style of ioi players is different.
"Huh? There's actually a linkage event with GOG? But it's just this little thing? It's too perfunctory!"
"Obviously the official has no intention of letting us play GOG..."
"Then what's the point of this activity?"
"It means a lot. Players from GOG come over to play ioi. The number of players must have increased. There were only a few players in our Chinese server. We had to queue for more than three minutes for matching. Now the matching queue is faster. I encountered
With more novices, the game experience will definitely improve!"
"In the long run, it is obviously beneficial to ioi!"
"But I'm a little confused. The two games are said to be cooperative, but from the rewards point of view, it seems like they are trying their best to lure GOG players to our side? It stands to reason that the rewards given by both sides should be similar, right?"
"I'm so envious of GOG players...they can earn skins when they come to play ioi!"
"But we don't have to go there to get rewards!"
Clearly, ioi players are in a state of blissful confusion.
According to the rules of the event, GOG players are definitely encouraged to come to ioi to play, which will definitely improve the gaming experience of ioi players. Because the more players there are, the more lively it will be.
At the same time, GOG will give rewards, and ioi will also give rewards!
The difference is that GOG must come to ioi to play for a certain amount of time and games to get rewards.
The ioi players are different, their rewards are divided into two types.
The first one is the reward obtained by playing on GOG, which is very perfunctory;
The second type is a reward that can be obtained without doing anything, and its richness is similar to that of GOG.
This is obviously a careful plan of Dayak Group and Longyu Group.
The second type of reward is not included in the content of the event, but it is opened at the same time as the event. It is to tie up ioi players through rewards and prevent them from coveting the rewards that GOG players receive in the event.
The first type of reward is purely for fulfilling the contract.
In other words, this event has the following rewards:
For GOG players, when they go to play ioi, they can first receive a novice reward from ioi. This is ioi's way of retaining these new players; secondly, when they return to GOG, they can receive a reward. This is
In order to induce players to play ioi.
For ioi players, when they play GOG, whether on GOG or ioi, the rewards are very average and not very attractive.
But in addition to the event, ioi players can also get a reward from other activities, which has nothing to do with this linkage event, but the reward is very generous. It is obviously a consolidation measure to prevent the loss of personnel.
