Chapter 1550 The new goal of the Chaolu game platform
Friday, March 29th.
Pei Qian came to Chaolu Gaming Platform early in the morning and called Tang Yishu and Li Yada to the conference room for a meeting.
Li Yada and Tang Yishu were both a little surprised. Isn't Mr. Pei in retreat?
I came here specially during the retreat. Could it be that there is something wrong with our work?
Li Yada was about to ask but was stopped by Pei Qian.
"I'm here this time just to tell you about the work arrangements after the Chaolu Game Platform."
In fact, Li Yada guessed right. Pei Qian is indeed dissatisfied with the current state of Chaolu Game Platform, but what can he do if he is dissatisfied? This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.
So Pei Qian didn't dwell too much on this point. He just wanted to cut through the mess quickly, arrange these things as soon as possible, and then continue to go back to retreat.
The paper is not finished yet!
Li Yada nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, please tell me."
Pei Qian thought about it and then said: "There are three main points."
"First, take all Tenda games and put them on Chaolu Game Platform."
"Second, the share between Chaolu Game Platform and developers will be further adjusted. The platform will only take 10%. At the same time, we will increase the discounts on all games on the platform and try to select the best free games, especially our own games."
"Third, the Chaolu Game Platform will take the lead, let Tenda Games, Yangyang Games and all other departments work together, and then seek the support of the official platform to develop a 'Chaolu Game Editor'."
Pei Qian's attitude is also very simple, spend money, spend money at all costs!
Tenda Games has been put on the Chaolu Game Platform. This is because it can’t be hidden anymore, so it won’t be installed.
After it is put on the shelves, you can get more price reductions and discounts from the system.
Because in the past, Tenda’s main battlefield for game sales was basically the official game platform, and Tenda had little say in the discount and promotion activities of the official game platform.
Even if Pei Qian wants to lower the price, he must first ask the official platform whether it will agree or not. There is a process to follow.
Moreover, applying for price reduction activities on the official platform requires not only the consent of the official platform, but also the consent of the system.
It's different on the Chaolu Game Platform. Selling the game at a low price is viewed by the system as promoting the Chaolu Game Platform through preferential activities. It's an act of burning money to gain reputation and gain market share, so the restrictions will be looser.
As a result, Tenda Games can be sold at a very low price on the Chaolu Game Platform. In this way, although it may achieve the effect of small profits but quick turnover, the short-term revenue will definitely drop a lot.
The platform lowers commissions, increases game discounts, and gives away as many high-quality free games as possible. These are all ways to burn money.
Nowadays, for these domestic channel dealers, the commissions are basically random, with more than 70% of them taking commissions.
Of course, those are basically small channels, and high commissions will bully small mobile game development companies. Even those large channels with relatively strong bargaining power, when there are official platforms for benchmarking, basically
They also charge 50% or 30%.
The official platform defaults to 50% for general game developers, and the reward for outstanding game developers will be changed to 30% or even lower.
There is a fundamental difference between the official platform's commission and the commission from general channels. The commission from general channels does not have much constructive significance, but the commission from the official platform has practical significance.
For example: use the money to continue development, improve the official editor, use the money as a fund to support domestic game manufacturers, etc.
But in general, the current domestic channel dealers’ commission is basically no less than 30%.
Does it mean that 30% is necessary to maintain the operation of the platform? Of course not. It is simply because everyone has tacitly and tacitly drawn the line of 30% to ensure that everyone can have a relatively comfortable profit margin, which can be used
Just lying around and making money on the platform.
Speaking of which, the 30% commission is lower than the official platform.
But if the official platform takes the money, it will do something good. If these other channels take the money, they will not give the money back to the game industry.
And Pei Qian's last request is to open a bottomless pit for spending money.
Be Tenda’s own game editor!
At present, the mainstream editor for domestic game development is the official game editor. There are other editors, but they are relatively niche and less popular.
The official editor was finally developed after integrating some editors and was improved by many people. It is already the most useful game editor at present. For some independent game producers, the learning cost is not included.
High, as long as you can study it in a down-to-earth manner, this editor is enough to meet most of the needs of game development.
But it is precisely because of this that Pei Qian decided to integrate resources and develop a new editor!
Once this bottomless pit is opened, isn’t it easy to lose money?
The key is that there is an official editor at the front. Chaolu Game Editor is a big hit, and the chance of making money is very slim, almost negligible.
Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Mr. Pei, is this...is this a step too big?"
"The previous two points are understandable. Our platform will begin to expand, but the game editor... cannot be completed overnight!"
"What's more, the official platform editor is actually very easy to use. We can develop some new functional modules based on the official platform editor to optimize and improve it. There is no need to build it from scratch.
An editor?"
Pei Qian chuckled and was already prepared.
"It is precisely because the game editor cannot be completed overnight, so we must start this work as soon as possible!"
"Is the editor on the official platform really easy to use? Or is it just because everyone has adapted to it that they find it easy to use?"
Having said this, Pei Qian couldn't help but secretly murmur that the official platform editor is so easy to use!
When he first developed "Lonely Desert Highway", he tried hard to learn the official editor by himself, but ended up learning it.
You will know it once you see it, but you will lose it once you learn it!
In the end, he had no choice but to directly insert a ready-made template into it, and then use some of the content he barely mastered to create a few simple functions.
Of course, the game became popular in the end, but that’s a story for another day…
But no matter what, Pei Qian felt that he was not unjustly criticizing the official platform editor if he said it was not easy to use.
Pei Qian paused and continued: "Many people are already doing small repairs on the basis of the original official editor. But if it cannot be repaired like this, sooner or later it will look like old code.
It turned into a mountain of shit.”
"The more reluctant you are to abandon the original editor and write a new editor, the higher the sunk cost will be, so it is better to start as soon as possible!"
"You can't just do something because it's difficult and cost-effective. If everyone thinks so, how can there be an epoch-making game editor?"
"What's more, I don't want you to reach the sky in one step. You can take your time."
"We will start with some basic functions first. The first version is mainly for independent game producers, and subsequent versions will continue to improve."
Pei Qian's speech completely convinced Li Yada.
Well, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, what he said makes sense!
As expected, conventional thinking is still necessary. If you want to keep up with Mr. Pei’s thinking when working in Tengda, you must be forward-thinking, have a broad vision, and have the strongest ability to act and execute!
This editor is indeed very difficult to develop.
The official platform has concentrated so many resources and manpower, and it took so much effort to develop it, not to mention the Chaolu Game Platform itself?
Of course, President Pei also said that Li Yada can use Tenda's resources, including the internal game department, independent game incubation base, Dream Venture Capital, as well as the help of some external companies and even official platforms, to integrate them.
These resources are definitely enough. The key is how to coordinate them and what exactly they want to make this editor look like.
For such a large-scale project, the direction can be said to be wrong by a thousand miles, but it is difficult enough just to integrate resources so that all participants can perform their respective duties and do their jobs well.
It's very challenging, but Li Yada feels that since Mr. Pei has given this important task to him, he must not disappoint Mr. Pei's expectations!
After all, he is also the third generation of Tengda. Huang Sibo and Lu Mingliang have already become angry. They can't just sit on the Chaolu Game Platform and do nothing. It's time to make some spectacular achievements!
Pei Qian nodded with great satisfaction, then glanced at Xiao Tang, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
Let Xiao Tang continue to stay and be responsible for the development of Chaolu Game Editor!
Although it is a little cruel to do this, for the settlement of this cycle, I can only work a little harder, comrades!
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first."
Pei Qian stood up, satisfied and ready to go back to rest.
As soon as I turned around and walked out, my phone vibrated.
Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his brows could not help but frown slightly: "Huh? Over there at Outu Technology, do you have anything to report about mobile phones and new smart products?"
I didn't really want to go.
Because Pei Qian doesn't have any particularly good ideas recently, so he can give it to Outu Technology.
If Pei Qian had another idea like a "fully-automatic smart bar lift" or a "smart fitness clothes drying rack", he would definitely run to Outu Technology as soon as possible and call Chang You and Jiang Yuan to the conference room.
, and then make arrangements for a meal.
Although the bar lifter and the clothes drying rack both made money in the end, at least they were only one step away from losing money, very close.
If you don’t have any good ideas, what’s the point of going there?
The ideas that Pei Qian came up with were either too high a chance of making money, or they were so outrageous that it was difficult not to make people suspicious, so he never paid special attention to the affairs of Outu Technology.
But Pei Qian thought about it and decided to go there.
Because Outu Technology has said that it has something to report about mobile phones and new smart products, it must be a more important matter, otherwise it would not bother me.
If you don’t watch it, what if it explodes?
Go take a look, maybe there is room for rescue.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian set off for Outu Technology.
