After having dinner with Lin Chang yesterday, Pei Qian thought carefully about the new business.
Industries such as live broadcasting and mobile phones require huge initial investment and huge losses. Even if they want to start, they will definitely have to wait until after the settlement this month.
Of course, it is said that the investment is huge, but there is a way to play with more money, and there is a way to play with less money.
Just like mobile phones, even if Pei Qian made it, it would be impossible to stock hundreds of thousands of units. It is simply unrealistic and unnecessary.
Some large manufacturers stock large quantities of goods. On the one hand, they want to increase the volume and get lower purchasing prices. On the other hand, they are afraid of being scolded by consumers if they sell out.
But Pei Qian obviously doesn't have to think about these things.
If the purchase price is high, then it’s high. If it’s high, you’ll be able to thank me for it; if it’s out of stock, it’s out of stock. Mr. Pei didn’t expect this phone to be sold at all.
The initial limit is 3,000 units, if I sell more than one, I lose.
Anyway, the purpose is to lose money. Why should you have such a big appetite? Just lose as much money as you have.
Of course, the specific approach must be considered slowly, and one must be absolutely sure of failure before taking action.
After arriving at the company, the first thing Pei Qian had to do was check the status of "Return to the Shore".
Although nothing can be seen from one day's data, for Pei Qian, as long as the game data does not change significantly compared to before, that is the best news.
I had just closed the backstage and planned to watch some dramas for a while when there was a knock on the door outside.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Li Yada.
Li Yada timidly pushed the door in, pushed up her thick glasses, and aligned the tips of her two index fingers: "Pei, Mr. Pei, there is a serious situation..."
"According to the regulations of the official platform, if the refund rate of a certain game exceeds 20%, the official will issue a warning; if the refund rate exceeds 35%, then the game will be forcibly removed from the shelves and modified..."
"Currently, our game is close to 30%. If this continues, the situation may be... not very optimistic."
Pei Qian was stunned.
Oh? There is such a good thing??
Pei Qian has never encountered this kind of problem before, because Tenda's games have always been very conscientious and not expensive, so the refund rate has never been very high.
Even for the game "Lonely Desert Highway", because the price is too cheap, players rarely get refunds.
But this time the situation is different. "Back to the Shore" has attracted a large number of ordinary players, as well as players with handicapped players. Although most of the players here still stayed due to various factors, many of them were angry and refunded their money.
Not only are the reviews of the game polarized, but the problem of refunds is also very serious.
But for Pei Qian, this is a good thing!
If the game is really removed from the shelves for rectification, then slowly make the changes and then upload it. Such a fuss will reduce a lot of sales - anyway, it only needs to be re-listed one week before settlement.
This is not what Pei Qian did intentionally, and the system has nothing to say, right?
Pei Qian glanced at the backstage: "Where is the warning?"
Li Yada lowered her head: "Well, this is indeed what the official platform stipulates. As for why there was no warning, I'm not sure."
"Maybe it's because Tenda has a better reputation on the official platform?"
"I'm just reporting this matter. How do you think it should be handled? Does the game need to be slightly modified to lower the difficulty of the previous content?"
"No!" Pei Qian raised his hand, "I'm fully aware of this situation, you don't have to worry."
"Okay...ok." Li Yada nodded and backed out.
Seeing the refund rate of less than 30%, Pei Qian felt a little sad.
Alas, what a pity!
I should have worked harder and reached 35% directly!
Now the refund rate of the game has not only not increased, but has shown a declining trend, which makes Pei Qian quite heartbroken.
This is normal, because as game information continues to spread on the Internet, most new players already know that this is a difficult game and have psychological expectations after entering.
Therefore, the number of refunded players naturally shows a rapid downward trend.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and then clicked on the chat box with "Xiaohu Review".
The game I bought last time was pretty good, but this game was criticized a lot.
If this is the case, then increase your efforts!
Try to scold more and bring some rhythm. If it can get more people to refund, that would be great. If not, at least it will scare some players away. In that case, sales can still be reduced.
Of course, it still can't be said clearly.
Pei Qian could only follow the previous method and give as many hints as possible.
…
On the other side, Hu Xiao is deeply reflecting on his impulsive behavior.
So sorry!
Looking at "Hey hey" appearing over and over again on the screen, Hu Xiao felt that his IQ, personality and dignity were being severely damaged.
What is going on? How could I lose my mind and not refund the money???
It was obviously someone else who paid for the navy, but Hu Xiao himself even pitched in for a hundred yuan. It was really hard to explain.
"Is it possible that I was tricked?"
"Did the other party have already guessed that someone would not refund the money?"
"That's too scheming!"
"When he comes again, I will definitely question him! If I don't understand this matter clearly, I will never let it go!"
Hu Xiao thought angrily.
While I was feeling angry, I suddenly found out that I had received a new message from "Hardcore Review".
"Buy another 100,000 yuan for the navy and increase the intensity!"
Hu Xiao was stunned and quickly replied: "Okay brother! No problem!!"
Seeing that another 100,000 yuan was credited to his account, Hu Xiao was in a great mood.
How could such an open-minded boss trick me?
Really, I think too much!
…
…
October 5th.
Imperial Capital.
Qiao Liang was in the rental house, feeling anxious and scratching his heart.
It’s so uncomfortable!
After the release of "Back to the Shore", he has been paying attention to it.
But the more I looked, the more anxious I became.
There are mixed reviews for this game on game websites, with many people starting to criticize it without even understanding the essence of the game.
Although there are some uploaders on video websites who have made introductory videos of the game, they have not played the essence of the game at all, and the rich plot design of the game has not even been mentioned at all.
Most players are still debating on such trivial topics as whether they should get a refund or whether there is a problem with the game's difficulty. In Qiao Liang's view, these discussions are completely worthless!
"Back to Shore" is like a treasure, and these people are like arguing at the entrance of a treasure cave whether the entrance is too narrow. It's simply stupid!
When he thought of Mr. Pei's deep love for him and the big crab Mr. Pei treated him to, Qiao Liang really wanted to stand up and give Mr. Pei a hand right now.
However, he had a standard answer in his hand, but he couldn't take it out.
Because Qiao Liang has promised Mr. Pei that he must wait one week after the game is launched before releasing the video. During this week, Qiao Liang cannot spoil the game and must allow other players to experience this unique game without interference.
Therefore, Qiao Liang could only turn his grief into motivation and continue to play through "Back to the Shore" crazily during this period to accumulate material for his upcoming video.
For him, who has already cleared the game for many weeks, the combat content of the game is already very clear, and now his focus is mainly on the plot of the game.
After all, the plot and world view are also important parts of the game content, and "Return to the Shore" is obviously a game with very rich connotations.
After playing for a while, Qiao Liang opened the document and began to write the video copy in advance.
"If you are careful, you will find that these monsters in the video will be encountered in the official game process, and there will be changes."
"The corpse lying by the river twitched in the video, suggesting that it has also turned into a monster. During the game process, there is a prop next to the corpse. If the player goes to get it, the corpse will suddenly jump up.
If the player hugs him immediately, he will be instantly killed."
"...In the video, the old monk in the ruined temple outside the city has been chanting sutras to resist the attack of these wandering souls. But in the game, when the player comes to the ruined temple outside the city, they will find that the old monk has also lost his ability.
If they lose their sanity, they will attack the players crazily."
"...Killing the old monk can obtain Buddha beads and Zen staff. The former is an important consumable prop in the early stage, while the latter has average attributes and is only of collection value as a side weapon."
"...Since the prayer beads are more important and the old monk's combat power is extremely weak, it is recommended that everyone first kill the old monk to get the props after arriving in the town."
"The crazy scholar burned his house. When the player comes here, the house has been completely burned and turned into ruins. The scholar's body can be found in a corner not far away, and a broken letter written by him can be obtained from him.
Through the family letters, you can know some of the past of this small village..."
"...There are some plot triggers in the game that may lead to different endings. It is unclear how many endings the game has, but there are at least two."
While Qiao Liang was playing, he recorded all the details and Easter eggs he found in the game.
The more I record, the more I feel that this game is so rich in content!
He didn't pay attention to these when he was playing games before. His mind was full of thinking about how to pass the level and how to defeat a certain boss, and he failed to pay attention to these details.
But now I'm back at my rental house. After playing multiple games, I no longer have any desire for the challenge of the game, so I started to study these details.
The more I researched, the more I discovered that there is so much content here!
Qiao Liang even suspected that it probably took a whole plot design team to create such a complete plot with such rich details!
Of course, to be fair, compared to some foreign 3A masterpieces that focus on plot, the plot content of "Back to the Shore" is not much, but very fragmented.
But this feeling of digging for treasure made Qiao Liang feel very addicted and couldn't stop!
After writing a long video copy, Qiao Liang was going to take a break.
After making a bowl of noodles, Qiao Liang opened his fan group to see what the fans were talking about.
