Chapter 1559 What is the escort game of the game router?
We have publicly stated that we will turn Zhidou Company into an independent studio structure, and after cutting off all the previous redundant personnel, we will keep this small scale and continue it!
Moreover, after the merger of the game, only 30% of the profits obtained will be distributed to Zhitou Company. Even from this 30% profit, the wages and other items of Zhitou Company’s employees will be deducted first, and then dividends will be distributed to shareholders!
This is a bit excessive, because the major shareholder of Zhidou Company is Tengda, and the dividends come and go to himself.
Of course, Tenda can allocate it how it wants, it doesn't matter, but the key is to only give 30% of the profit to Zhitou Company, and the majority of it is returned to Tenda, so how much profit can it make?
After all, GOG has been a game with very cheap skins from the beginning, which is tradition.
After the two games are merged, will Tenda increase the price of skins on a large scale? Not necessarily!
And at first, everyone didn’t believe that Tenda was going to kill Zhidou Company, and they thought this personnel change was due to some special arrangement.
But after looking at it for so long, I found that there was no special arrangement at all. It seemed that I just didn’t like Zhidou Company, so I wanted to clean up the company and completely transform Zhidou Company into an ordinary overseas development project team attached to GOG!
As a result, everyone's evaluation of the company's stock price has naturally plummeted.
After all, no matter how much money Tenda makes, it has nothing to do with Zhidou Company!
This situation is a bit like a listed game company with only one pillar game, and then the revenue from the pillar game has been cut off, and there is no possibility of a turnaround for a long time in the future.
In this case, the stock price will definitely plummet.
The stock price of Zhidou Company did not plummet that sharply, but a continued decline is inevitable.
Pei Qian just wants to say: Well done!
After so much effort, he finally convinced everyone that he was going to set up Zhidou Company so that he would stop making money!
Pei Qian had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, if he had just acquired Zhidou Company and the stock price had soared due to the optimism of the capital market, and he had made a fortune, how could it be repaid?
The stock price of Zhidou Company must fall and the money invested by Tenda must be wasted. This is Pei Qian's ultimate goal.
After reading the report, Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current situation of Zhidou Company. So he simply replied, praised Eric for his hard work during this period, and asked him to continue. He strived to completely transform Zhidou Company into a subsidiary of GOG as soon as possible.
An overseas R&D department of the project team.
Just after replying to Eric, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that Lao Song, the acting head of Outu Technology, was here.
"Well, is there any problem with the research and development of new products?"
Pei Qian was a little surprised. After all, he and Lao Song had just finalized the new product at the end of last month.
It has only been less than a week, why do you come to your door again? Is it because your previous designs for two new products were too outrageous, and Lao Song realized the problem?
If that's the case, you'll have to resort to another big trick.
Old Song coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Pei, it's like this. I made a small oversight in my work. So I made a special trip today to ask you for advice."
"Last week you finalized the final forms of the two products, but there is only one thing: does the game router have to carry one game?"
This cannot be blamed on Lao Song. After all, he is a product manager and does not have a deep understanding of the game industry.
I didn't think there was any problem at the time, but after a little chat with a few people in charge, Lao Song realized the problem.
As a game console, it must be equipped with a game as an escort masterpiece!
You can’t just ship all the Tenda games after releasing the console, right? That would be too insincere and would not be able to drive sales at all.
But gaming is no small matter. Tenda has so many excellent games, which one should you choose?
Mr. Pei must make the decision.
"That's right." Pei Qian nodded and asked, "Do you have any ideas about this escort game?"
Old Song had obviously thought about it briefly and said: "Mr. Pei, my understanding of the game industry is not very good, so I just said casually that if there are any questions, please correct me."
"In my opinion, this escort masterpiece actually has two options. First, transplant one of Tenda's most classic games as a escort masterpiece. For example, for the game "Struggle", we will make a console special for it.
Edition, remastered version, put it on the router and give it to players for free, which gives the game router a certain collection value."
"The second is that we choose a new unreleased game as a console. For example, "The Future You Choose", which is being jointly developed by Tenda Game Department and Sunyang Games, is it quite suitable?"
"It would be even better if it can be used as an exclusive game. It will definitely ensure that our console will sell well!"
Pei Qian did not express his position immediately because he felt that the situation was not good.
There is no doubt that the router will carry all Tenda games when it is released, as well as most of the games on the Chaolu gaming platform that support console play.
In this case, the success of the game router actually has great risks.
If there was another significant exclusive game, would it be a big deal?
Both methods proposed by Lao Song are very dangerous.
The former means to select one of Tenda's classic old games and make a reset commemorative version as a escort masterpiece. The characteristic of these classic old games is that they have passed the test of time, are deeply loved by players, and will never fall over. They are considered a very good game.
A smooth choice.
The latter is to use Tenda's new game, which is "The Future You Choose", a true 3A masterpiece, as an escort game, and it is best to make it exclusive.
Once it becomes exclusive, will there be a situation where you buy a game and get a console for free? This is very possible!
Therefore, it is best not to choose either method!
Pei Qian shook his head and said, "I don't think it's particularly suitable."
"It seems too insincere to turn an old game into a commemorative and reset version as a escort game! We at Tenda Games have not yet reached the point where we need to overindulge."
"As for the game "The Future You Choose", although it is important enough to be a masterpiece of escort, the time is probably not suitable."
"According to the initial schedule, the game will be released more than two months earlier than the game "The Future You Choose"."
"It wouldn't be interesting if you have to wait more than two months to release it."
"Furthermore, our game console has just been launched, so it is not suitable to directly use important masterpieces as exclusives. This is not friendly to many players who have always supported us."
"They will feel that this is us forcibly promoting the console, and there is suspicion of forced buying and selling."
"I think it is best for the game "The Future You Choose" to be released on all platforms, and there is no need to affect the release of game routers because of this game."
Lao Song was a little confused: "What do you mean, Mr. Pei, that the game router no longer needs to escort games? Just transplant the games on the Chaolu Game Platform?"
Pei Qian coughed twice: "That's not what I meant. It's an exclusive game. Just develop another one."
"Moreover, since it is an exclusive game, we should develop it according to the characteristics of the game router as much as possible, so that the software and hardware can truly match each other. This is the most sincere to the players."
Lao Song was stunned for a moment: "Develop another game? But as far as I know, all Tenda's game departments already have projects, right? We no longer have excess R&D power. If we really have the energy, we can develop it again if we have the people.
A new exclusive game?”
Pei Qian thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Tenda Games, Yangyang Games, Chixing Studio... currently all game departments directly related to Tenda Group have their own game development tasks.
We can’t let them put their current projects on hold to develop exclusive games for consoles, right?
But this didn't bother Pei Qian. He thought about it a little and already had an idea.
"Who says we don't have any spare R&D power?"
"There is a department you forgot."
"The Endless Project and the independent game incubation base!"
"With so many producers, how can we say that we don't have excess R&D power on hand? We obviously still have plenty of R&D power!"
Lao Song was completely shocked, his eyes widened slightly, and his face was full of incredible expressions.
He never expected that Mr. Pei would include the independent game producers in the independent game incubation base into Tenda's R&D capabilities?
But even a layman like him knows that this is not the same thing at all!
What the game router needs now is a substantial 3A masterpiece escort game, and the so-called 3A masterpiece must require many people to work together and work together to produce it. Not only does it need a strong chief designer as a leader
, it also requires a complete set of mature design teams to support it.
There are indeed some excellent producers in the independent game incubation base. They have ideas and abilities, but after all, there is a huge difference between the production processes of independent games and AAA masterpieces.
For example, if independent game producers are special forces who are more suitable for performing special tasks in small groups, then the production team of a 3A masterpiece is like a regular army, engaged in large-scale legionary operations.
If all the special forces are brought together, can they achieve the same effect as the regular army? That's certainly not the case.
Although these independent game producers are all good at designing games, they each have their own ideas. How to integrate them together? This seems like an impossible task.
Let alone developing a AAA masterpiece that can protect game routers, I'm afraid whether this game can be successfully produced is a matter of two questions.
Lao Song advised: "Mr. Pei, why don't you think again? I think it doesn't matter if this console is released two months earlier or two months later. Let's just wait for "The Future You Choose"
It’s a game, even if it can’t be used as an exclusive game, at least it’s substantial enough and unlikely to cause any accidents.”
Pei Qian chuckled: "Don't worry about this matter, go find Qiu Hong to handle it."
Pei Qian was too lazy to talk to Lao Song. Anyway, Lao Song wouldn't understand if he talked too much.
Let's leave this matter to Qiu Hong. After all, Qiu Hong is also a game producer. He should be able to figure out Mr. Pei's intentions and at least develop this game smoothly.
Moreover, the independent game incubation base has been exposed, and there is no need to hide it.
Of course, it’s hard to say what kind of state this escort game will be in when it is developed.
It is very likely that it will be a deformed product stitched together by many producers' ideas.
But this is exactly what Pei Qian wants. He also doesn’t want the games on the game router to be too good, otherwise wouldn’t it be sure to explode?
Even if gaming routers are going to be popular, Pei Qian doesn't want it to become popular in this cycle. It's best to wait until this year is over.
Anyway, Pei Qian had already collected a big sum by then and no longer cared so much about these things.
Lao Song hesitated to speak, but finally nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, then I will go to Qiu Hong to discuss it."
