Chapter 294 Keep the money for yourself, don't transfer it back to me!
End point, game details page introduction, Tenda Games official Weibo updated the announcement almost at the same time, which quickly attracted widespread attention from players.
"Huh? The official version of "Return to the Shore" is actually linked to a website?"
"Isn't this the official website for serialization?"
"The rewards of this event are great! Not only are you able to read freely on the website, there is also a reward in the game."
"Disguise Pill? Can you change the character model? Damn it, no one can stop me, I want to order this prop!"
"And the accounts are already connected? That's good. You don't have to register an account again."
"I have been following this website. The books at the beginning were quite rubbish, but recently there are a few new books that look pretty good. They are no worse than unlimited high-quality books. You can also read them when you are bored."
"For the disguise pill, rush!"
The response from players has been quite enthusiastic.
In the final analysis, it is still a good choice of rewards!
The character in "Return to the Shore" is just an ordinary male, and there is no face-shaping part for the time being. After all, Pei Qian wanted to use this as much as possible to dissuade some appearance-minded people.
In this way, being able to change models becomes quite important!
There are some NPCs in the game who are similar in size to the protagonist, especially some female NPCs.
Players were excited when they heard that they could change their models to these girls!
Of course, the female NPCs in this world view setting are definitely too good to be seen. Compared with those little butters who are proficient in this, they are far behind.
But this is the story background of the game after all. If you are used to seeing these monsters, any female NPC can achieve the effect of a sow competing against Diao Chan.
Therefore, a large number of players ran to the end to complete tasks, waiting to get the disguise pill in seven days.
Such a good item costs nothing. You can get it after logging in for seven days. If you don’t get it, you won’t get it for free!
On the other hand, a number of outstanding people also emerged at the finish line.
Under the tireless guidance of editors, there are always some crazy writers who will catch on and write some good and exciting articles by chance.
Ma Yiqun will discover these good ideas through data, and use Mr. Pei's subsidies to supplement the authors' royalties, allowing them to earn an income no less than that of other major websites, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the authors.
During the event, many authors began to publish updates, further increasing reader stickiness.
So, the work is there, the readers are there, and the end point is logically a positive cycle!
Many players who are originally unlimited readers are also happy to add another web page to their favorites and pursue different ones at the same time.
With readers paying, the website will no longer rely on Mr. Pei’s subsidies, and will gradually be able to be responsible for its own profits and losses.
Ma Yiqun is very pleased to see the number of readers on the website soar.
"Report the good news to Mr. Pei!"
Ma Yiqun was very proud to call Mr. Pei.
"Hello……?"
Mr. Pei on the other side of the phone spoke with a nasal voice.
The Ma group was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Pei, you have a cold? I'm sorry, I shouldn't bother you at this time."
Every Tengda employee is very concerned about Mr. Pei's health. After all, he is everyone's leader.
Pei Qian: "...It's no big deal. Did the website encounter any difficulties? Tell me quickly."
Ma Yiren didn't know whether they heard it wrong or because of psychological effects. They always felt that there was a little bit of expectation in Mr. Pei's tone?
Expecting your website to encounter difficulties?
That's impossible. It must be because Mr. Pei's voice changed after he fell ill, which gave him an illusion.
Ma Yiqun couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Pei, there is good news!"
"Starting from next month, the subsidy for website authors will no longer be so large! Before the end of the month, I plan to return part of it. After three or four months, maybe we can be completely self-sufficient at the end!"
Mr. Pei on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time and said, "Huh?"
Ma Yiqun continued: "Mr. Pei, you have channeled traffic to the destination through "Back to Shore", which is already very effective!"
"During this period, a large number of players flocked to the terminal, which brought considerable popularity to the website."
"So I thought about it and started a linkage with Li Yada. So far, the effect is quite good!"
"Not only has the number of registered users and active users of the website increased, but some follow-up data have also increased significantly. This shows that many players not only come to take a look at the official website and then leave, but actually stay and become
Readers of our website!”
"With these top-up readers, the website's recent income will definitely be greatly improved, so it won't be able to use so much subsidy funds for authors."
"So I considered sending part of the money back to Tenda so that the money could be spent on more meaningful things..."
Before Ma Yiqun finished speaking, Mr. Pei on the other side of the phone had already flatly refused.
"unnecessary!"
"Don't!"
A group of horses: "Ah?"
Pei Qian coughed twice and his tone returned to calm: "The money is not important."
"The sales of "Return to the Shore" are so good, why are you worried that Tenda has no money?"
"On the contrary, it is the end point that requires more money!"
"Where are we now? I just saw the hope of turning losses into profits. We are still far away from truly developing into an online literary giant like Infinite!"
"You keep this money and don't transfer it back."
"No matter what you think of this month, you must spend it on me!"
"When new readers come, why don't we give them some benefits?"
"Authors work so hard to write books, but they have always used love to generate electricity. Why shouldn't they be given some compensation?"
"The employees are so tired from working overtime, why don't they hold a team-building activity to increase their cohesion?"
"Otherwise, you can find a few more programs to make the website better and optimize the mobile app. With so many readers coming in all at once, are the original servers and bandwidth enough? If not, just buy more quickly.
.”
"There are so many places to spend money, why are you just thinking about saving money? It's not your money, so why are you so stingy?"
"Hold on to the flowers, and ask me for them when they're all gone!"
After listening to Mr. Pei's words, the Ma group felt a little ashamed.
Totally confused!
What Ma Yiqun wants is to turn the website around from losses to profits as soon as possible and save money for Mr. Pei.
After all, websites are currently burning money, including editors’ salaries, website operating expenses, authors’ attendance and subsidies, etc.
This made Ma Yiqun feel very uneasy, and they kept thinking about how to help Mr. Pei earn back the money.
But Mr. Pei's words today woke him up.
Although profit is important, what is more important is the development of the website!
Endpoint is part of Mr. Pei's overall layout. It is still on a very small scale. Even if it turns a profit, it is nothing more than making a small amount of money. It cannot be compared with giants like Infinite.
From this perspective, Tenda Games is already ahead, and the end point is like a little brother following behind the big brother, following every step.
There is no need to think about sharing the worries for your elder brother at this time, the most important thing is to seize the time to grow.
Ma Yiqun was deeply moved, not only because Mr. Pei had planned a bright future for the finish line, but also because Mr. Pei trusted him so much!
"Okay Mr. Pei, I will definitely spend this money on website construction, don't worry!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian silently turned on the computer to check the situation at the finish line.
Although you can't see the background data of the website, there are still some methods that can reflect the popularity from the side.
Just click on a book on the homepage and take a look at its book review area.
Originally, the book review sections for these books were either deserted or filled with scoldings, which looked quite miserable.
But now, when I click on a few books on the homepage, the book review area becomes normal!
Some are urging updates, some are writing serious book reviews, and some are discussing the plot.
Various website data of these books, such as recommendation votes, collections, etc., have also increased significantly.
It’s not just one or two books that are like this, but all the books on the homepage are like this!
Pei Qian knows very well that there is currently no fraud in the terminus. Those books that maliciously swipe data will be removed from the recommendation once discovered, and it is impossible to hang them on the homepage so openly.
In other words, the books on the homepage are all real data, and the number of readers is indeed growing!
This is not the worst place.
Pei Qian was surprised to find that compared with the previous ones, the content on the home page seemed to have made great progress in terms of subject matter, rhythm and writing style!
Pei Qian had also read a few articles on Dingmin before, but they were basically the most irritating ones. The whole article was incomprehensible, and he would decisively abandon it after reading one or two chapters.
But now, at least the books on the homepage look like that!
The title and introduction are more attractive, the pace is obviously faster, and the control of reading is much better.
In short, it has the flavor of Internet articles!
No wonder the numbers for these books have improved.
The influx of a large number of readers is only one reason. The more fundamental reason is that the quality of these books has improved, so readers can retain them.
Of course, the quality of these books cannot be considered very high, and they may only reach the level of high-quality books if they are exhausted, but they are still enough to be read.
"What's going on?"
Pei Qian frowned slightly and discovered the problem.
Ma Yiren should not understand Internet literature, right?
After all, I am a veteran who writes a lot of books. It is obvious that my understanding of Internet articles is hugely biased.
If Ma Yiqun doesn’t understand online writing, then the editors he taught must not understand either.
The entire editorial team doesn’t understand web writing…
So how do these seemingly good web articles get filtered to the homepage of the website?
Is it based on data?
Well, this is also possible...
Pei Qian had some doubts. Did he misjudge the true level of Ma Yiqun?
But then I thought about it, readers are the biggest filter. Although there are not many readers at the end, the filtering effect will not change.
In fact, Ma Yiqun does not need to read every book. He only needs to choose books with better data and keep recommending them.
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore."
"The settlement will be settled immediately. Just spend the money honestly at the end of the day. How can I have time to care about these trivial matters."
Pei Qian threw his phone on the bedside and planned to enter ostrich mode.
In short, now I just hope that no one will bother me, and I can quickly find a way to spend the extra money earned by various departments without creating a burden on Mr. Pei.
Just as I was about to take a nap, my phone rang again.
I took the phone and looked at it, it was Assistant Xin calling.
"Mr. Pei, the official would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you about your journey in creating these games."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "...I'm very busy, can I not go?"
