Chapter 1497 Have you reported the high-speed rail ticket yourself?
February 25, Monday.
Pei Qian came to the office as usual and briefly reviewed the current situation of each department.
The settlement will be settled on Thursday, and each department has no new products to release. The sudden spending has basically been arranged, but whether it will make a loss depends on this last trick.
It can only be said that so far, losing money is not particularly safe.
Pei Qian first paid attention to the situation on ioi.
Since the four-person team went out to talk to the Dayak Group, Pei Qian has not heard from them for some time.
The main reason was that there was a time difference between the two parties, and Pei Qian felt that he could not help much, so he gave the four of them full authority to handle it. Meng Chang finally made the decision, as long as the deal could be reached anyway.
I don’t know the internal news, but it’s hard not to pay attention to the external news.
Last Tuesday, Zhitou Company broke out some negative news one after another, such as the merger of the Asian servers, the April Fool’s Day krypton gold event, etc., which then caused the stock price of Zhitou Company to plummet.
A week has passed and this downward trend is almost over.
Then this weekend, Zhidou Company made another trouble.
The first is to announce the rework plans for some heroes with relatively low winning rates, and the second is to make certain adjustments to the ranking rules.
These two things were not announced at the same time, but two days apart, but without exception, they all aroused negative public opinion!
The first is to redo the plan. This should be a good thing. After all, the game has developed to this point. The mechanics of many heroes designed in the past are no longer in line with the current game rhythm. There is no chance to play at all. Simply relying on numerical balance is also very difficult.
It's difficult to do, so it makes sense to redo it.
But the problem is that Zhidou Company is too slow to release new heroes!
In the past, when ioi and GOG were fighting fiercely, Zhidou Company was very quick to release new heroes. However, since ioi went from bad to worse, it spent a lot of time and energy on producing various skins, and the production speed of new heroes has slowed down greatly.
Under such circumstances, such a large-scale redo plan was actually formulated.
Players will naturally wonder: Can you still release new heroes?
Although the rework of old heroes can bring some freshness, how can it compare with new heroes?
This gives people the feeling that the ioi hero is getting old, has lost its enterprising spirit, and has begun to rest on its laurels.
This adjustment to the ranking rules has also been criticized.
Zhitou Company claims that in order to bring a better gaming experience to all players, especially novice players, the new ranking rules will make some adjustments to the matching mechanism to more dynamically balance the number of players on both sides of the battle and in different segments.
Players thought this was good news at first, but soon some internal news leaked out, saying that this new ranking rule would keep the winning rate of most players at around 50%!
Why? Because this can retain players to the greatest extent and ensure the player base.
Because the winning rate of most players is maintained at 50%, plus additional victory points, it can be guaranteed that as long as you play more, you will definitely gain points. Even some relatively bad players can experience the feeling of winning even if they lose too much.
feeling, the experience the game brings to them will become better.
For ioi, it is currently facing a severe situation of losing players in the fish pond.
The loss of Fishpond players will cause the entire ranking pyramid to collapse from bottom to top, causing the ranks of all players to collectively decline, thus causing very serious consequences.
For a game like GOG that maintains player growth and has a large player base, this is not a big deal, but for ioi, this is obviously directly related to its survival.
It was said before that the Asian servers would be merged for this reason, in order to better ensure the depth of the fish ponds.
But this approach has brought about a new problem, that is, those who are relatively good at playing but not as strong as professional players will have a hard time!
Because the system wants to ensure that cheating players can maintain about a 50% chance of winning, the gaming experience of some outstanding players must be sacrificed.
After a player has a winning streak, he will inevitably frequently encounter teammates who trick his teammates to forcefully lower their winning rate. In the end, everyone's winning rate will be roughly maintained at around 50%. Even if the winning rate of powerful players is slightly higher, it will not be much higher.
Unless there are some particularly powerful master players or professional players who can play one against nine or two against eight under any conditions, the winning rate can be maintained at 70% to 80%. Generally, players who are good at playing will want to
It is difficult to break through the 50% winning rate. The most likely thing is to leave a whole page of SVP.
From a game developer's perspective, this does seem to be the best of both worlds.
For some players who are more cheating, they will not be persuaded to quit because they keep kneeling. As long as the number of qualifying matches goes up, they can always see their rank slowly improving; and for those players who are relatively good at C
, although the 50% winning rate is very unpleasant, but at least they are C, they are SVP, but they were arranged by cheating teammates. If they really want to quit the game because of this anger, it is not a mistake.
Originally, this rule was intended to be updated secretly, so that players would not be able to notice it in a short period of time, and could effectively attract a wave of retention.
Unexpectedly, this rule was leaked out somehow!
This time it was a big deal.
Although from the perspective of Zhidou Company, this new ranking mechanism can indeed improve the game experience of novice players and avoid further loss of fish ponds, but for those more capable players, this matter is difficult to accept.
.
Why are you matching me with cheating teammates and forcibly lowering my winning rate to 50%?
Qualifying is supposed to be based on one's own abilities. As a result, I got C and it took so many games to get promoted, and those guys who just beat me to the next level also got promoted in so many games. So why do I work so hard to hone my skills and seriously want to win the game?
I put so much effort into practicing my skills, but in the end I became lonely?
The ideal is very fulfilling, but it directly goes against the consensus of most game players, so it was scolded miserably!
Several consecutive negative events have caused the stock price of Zhidou Company to fall again, giving people a feeling that it is about to go cold.
Pei Qian was also frightened.
What is going on? The house is leaking and it rains all night?
What happened to the senior management of Zhidou Company? They gave up on themselves? Why did they start engaging in collective intelligence training?
Where is the CEO of Zhidou Company? Can you take care of it?
But... think on the bright side, in this way, maybe the plan to acquire Zhidou Company will go smoother?
Pei Qian couldn't figure out whether it was because of the collective brain problems of Zhidou Company's top management, or because "there is no freedom when transporting heroes". Anyway, he was increasingly confused about things at Zhidou Company.
While I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
I looked up and saw that Lu Mingliang had arrived.
"Mr. Pei, I'm here to admit my mistake. When I was debating with Nie Yunsheng of Shengyun Group on Saturday, I subconsciously said some inappropriate words because of my excitement, and also caused a lot of hatred. I am willing to take all responsibility."
It was indeed arranged by him for Lu Mingliang to go to Magic City to meet with Nie Yunsheng, but what he said on the spot had a lot of improvisational content.
Some of them were indeed well thought out and were used to expose the hypocrisy of Shengyun Group, but some of them were improvised and spouted out on the spot.
Now, the live video of that time has aroused enthusiastic responses on the Internet. Judging from the results, Lu Mingliang can be said to have become famous in one battle, which has greatly increased the reputation of Headwind Logistics, and the express delivery business has skyrocketed.
But it has to be said that some of Lu Mingliang's words were not consulted and confirmed by Pei Qian before speaking. Whether President Pei would support his statements, and whether these statements would have any impact on the future of Headwind Logistics and even the entire Tenda Group.
Lu Mingliang himself is not sure about the impact of development.
Therefore, Lu Mingliang should wait until Monday to report to President Pei.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Did you pay yourself overtime pay for Saturday? Did you pay yourself for the high-speed rail ticket?"
Lu Mingliang was stunned for a moment: "Uh... they're all open."
Pei Qian immediately beamed with joy: "That's fine! For the rest, that's not a big deal. I watched the video of you criticizing Nie Yunsheng, and it was very good. There is no problem."
"The most important thing is to announce to everyone that Headwind Logistics will not increase prices for ten years and provide large-scale subsidies. This really won my heart! It's so well said!"
"As for causing hatred...those companies deserve to be scolded, well done! I hope they can unite to deal with Tenda and create some difficulties for me!"
"Moreover, you did a great job in instigating the courier to rebel on the spot. Even combined with the recent special recruitment examination, it gave me a brand new idea."
"I want to give you a certain quota and recruit people in a targeted manner!"
"I'll give you some quotas alone, and I'll dig up employees who have worked at Shengyun Group. Since we've already broken up with each other, we might as well break up even more thoroughly!"
"If this poaching can achieve good results, then we can popularize this rule and let other departments follow suit!"
