Chapter 312 My employees have learned to answer quickly
After leaving Yangyang Games, Pei Qian returned to Tengda.
There is still a lot of work that needs to be arranged slowly.
In addition to the problems between Yangyang Games and Lin Wan, the most troublesome thing for Pei Qian is, what should Tenda's game department do for the next game?
So far, Pei Qian really feels a little helpless, oh no, powerless.
From "Sea Fortress" to "Game Producer" to "Return to Shore", Pei Qian has been constantly asking Tenda's game department to produce new game types. The chief planner alone has changed three times.
But what can be done?
Useless!
It seems that no matter how much I change it, it won’t have the desired effect!
Pei Qian wanted to make a horror game and lose a lot of money, but he didn't dare to give this task to Tenda.
Pei Qian could only rest assured that he could only hand it over to Shangyang Games, which had little experience in developing stand-alone games.
But now the question arises, what should Tengda people do?
Whether they are making stand-alone games or online games, this group of people have corresponding successful game experience. If they continue to do it, they will probably have to copy the previous success. No matter how hard they think, they will not be practical.
How about giving all employees a paid vacation?
However, there is no good reason. After all, in order to create losses in the last cycle, all kinds of employee benefits have been exhausted, and it will be more difficult to continue to do so.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more confused he became. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a good solution.
I can only open Ellie Island by the way and start watching the series.
After watching for a while, someone knocked on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that Huang Sibo had arrived.
"Mr. Pei, I have good news to share with you!"
Pei Qian's hands trembled, and he was frightened by the words "good news".
This guy is backstabbing me again!
But then I thought about it, that’s not right, it has already been settled!
What should I be afraid of after the settlement is settled!
Pei Qian's mentality stabilized instantly, and he showed an indifferent smile: "Hmm? What's the good news? Is it about "One Day in the Life of the Great Inventor"?"
Huang Sibo looked a little excited and said: "That's right! Mr. Pei, "One Day in the Life of the Great Inventor" is finally starting to turn a profit!"
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
How can this show turn a profit?
It's not that Pei Qian looks down on this program, the point is that this program has strong limitations.
Although the films produced by Feihuang Studio are short films, they have always adhered to an attitude of striving for excellence. Whether it is costumes, makeup, props, post-editing or actors, they are all expensive, and they are relatively expensive among online dramas.
As for the program "The Day of the Great Inventor", it is difficult to receive suitable advertisements for dinner.
If it's just a matter of just having a meal and not considering the effect of the program, then it's easy to say.
However, everyone at Feihuang Studio strictly follows Mr. Pei’s requirements to produce videos, and rejects programs with poor results. Therefore, it often takes several consecutive episodes of the program before finally receiving a moderately acceptable program.
Moreover, the props used in the program "One Day in the Life of the Great Inventor" are all extremely useless.
Even if manufacturers come to visit, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of "bringing goods" through videos, and it will have the effect of dissuading them.
Take the portable washing machine in the first issue, for example. There is indeed a similar product on the market, but after watching the video, it turned away a lot of consumers who originally wanted to buy it.
Up to now, "One Day in the Life of the Great Inventor" has been updated weekly for more than two months, and it has now reached its twelfth issue.
Although it has formed a very large fixed audience group, there is still no good monetization channel. Just relying on the video incentive plan of Ellie Island, it is simply not enough.
So Pei Qian was very puzzled, how could such a program turn a profit?
Did Ellie spend a lot of money to buy a solo broadcast again?
Or have you received many chatting videos in a row?
Huang Sibo smiled and handed the phone to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took it and saw that it was an online store!
The name of the online store is "Edison's Laboratory". When he clicked on the store's product list, Pei Qian's eyes quickly scanned the product list inside.
Finger exercise machine: Nowadays, we need mobile phones to click on the screen every day, so it is very important to keep our fingers active. With this finger exercise machine, you can exercise your finger muscles in your free time every day, so that you can type faster with your mobile phone.
Go to the peak.
The picture shows something that looks like a miniature treadmill. After "standing" on it with your index and middle fingers, you can use your fingers to move the tracks below. The small LCD screen at the top will read and change to record the time and mileage of the exercise.
LED light slippers: As long as you step on them hard after putting them on, they will emit illuminating light. Mom no longer has to worry about me going to the toilet alone at night!
Solar foot bath machine: Use sunlight light instead of water to promote blood circulation in the feet by "basking in the sun", which can eliminate fatigue before going to bed. In addition, it also has a tanning effect!
Lawn slippers: The slippers are covered with furry turf, and you can feel the feeling of stepping on the grass when you wear the slippers.
Pasta rotating fork: The fork handle has a battery and a motor. Just press it lightly and the fork will start to rotate and roll up the pasta on the plate easily!
…
Pei Qian browsed the products in the store from beginning to end and found that there were quite a lot of products in the store, and most of them were products that had appeared in videos.
Looking at the sales volume of the products, there are some that are particularly low, but there are also those with hundreds or thousands of transactions.
The highest transaction volume is related peripheral products, such as a certain theme T-shirt, which has sold more than 4,000 pieces.
More than 700 Q-version dolls of a certain great inventor were sold.
In addition, the store also sells some snacks and gadgets, such as Q-version dolls, and the sales volume of these is not low!
With the products in the store and the occasional advertisements for casual meals, the video studio has really turned a profit!
Pei Qian showed a relieved smile.
Very good!
He was not happy that Feihuang Studio had turned a profit, but simply felt that Feihuang Studio had grasped the timing very well.
It happened to turn a profit after the settlement, so it didn't stab me in the back!
If a loss is turned into a profit before settlement, and tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of extra funds are inexplicably found, wouldn't Mr. Pei be so angry that he vomits blood?
But now, Pei Qian feels relaxed.
Just this small online store?
Not a big deal at all!
Seeing Mr. Pei show a faint smile, Huang Sibo was also very pleased. It seems that Feihuang Studio sticks to the bottom line, does not randomly accept casual advertisements, and maintains reputation, which has won Mr. Pei's approval!
However, the smile on Pei Qian's face only lasted for a short time and then disappeared.
Pei Qian suddenly realized that online stores are not safe either!
Although I am not making much money now, the next few years will be the time when online stores take off. Many retired professional players open online stores and can earn millions a month selling things like pork cubes, not to mention Feihuang Studio.
Is there an online store that is managed by dedicated staff?
There is no need to think further, if the current trend continues, Feihuang Studio will definitely accumulate a large amount of funds during the settlement this time!
When the time comes, won’t you still have to rack your brains and think about how to lose money?
Too bad, it’s too early to be happy!
Although they escaped disaster in the last settlement cycle, Feihuang Studio's profitability problem still needs to be resolved within this cycle!
Pei Qian coughed twice and handed the phone back to Huang Sibo.
"It's good, but we need to make persistent efforts."
"What are Feihuang Studio's plans for the future?"
Huang Sibo smiled and said: "Director Zhu Xiaoce and I had a little discussion, and we decided to continue filming "The Day of the Great Inventor" and strive to make this drama a big IP with wide influence!"
"At present, the online store model seems to be very good, and it has completed the original goal of turning Feihuang Studio into a profit. We plan to continue our efforts and obtain higher income!"
Pei Qian fell into silence and did not respond.
Huang Sibo's heart skipped a beat and he noticed a trace of Mr. Pei's displeasure.
Why?
Didn't Mr. Pei have a smile on his face before? Why did he become so serious in the blink of an eye?
After all, Huang Sibo is also the first employee to follow Mr. Pei, and he still has this kind of vision and understanding.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Sibo quickly understood the reason.
"Understood."
"Mr. Pei smiled before because he was happy that Feihuang Studio and "The Day of the Inventor" had turned a profit. This represents a recognition of our work achievements."
"But now he looks serious, probably because he is dissatisfied with our work arrangements for the next period of time!"
Huang Sibo couldn't help but think of the many previous conversations with Mr. Pei.
Mr. Pei has repeatedly emphasized that we must take a long-term view and must not be obsessed with temporary gains!
Although Feihuang Studio has made a profit, does Mr. Pei care about this small amount of money?
I'm afraid not!
It seems that Mr. Pei has higher expectations for Feihuang Studio!
Pei Qian was still thinking about how to persuade Huang Sibo to make less money, but he couldn't think of a good way to say it.
Instead, Huang Sibo spoke first.
"Mr. Pei, are you dissatisfied with the work arrangements of Feihuang Studio in the future?"
"Do you feel that Feihuang Studio should produce some better works instead of being obsessed with the small profits in front of you?"
Pei Qian: "..."
Huh? My employees have learned to answer questions now?
He looked up at Huang Sibo's extremely sincere eyes and nodded silently: "Yes, that's what I meant!"
Huang Sibo showed a gratified smile and secretly said that he had indeed made progress following Mr. Pei, and was increasingly able to think about problems from a higher perspective!
However, his smile quickly faded.
"Mr. Pei, this is really not about our short-sightedness."
"The key is that neither Director Zhu Xiaoce nor I have found a good direction, or even a ready-made idea."
"It would be great if Mr. Pei could give me some advice!"
Looking at Huang Sibo's expectant eyes, Pei Qian was in a dilemma.
Want some food from me?
Aren't you afraid that the new year will be missed?
Uh, that's not right, the ideas I gave seemed to be really popular.
Pei Qian was in a dilemma. If he didn't give me any ideas, Feihuang Studio would continue to film "The Day of the Great Inventor". According to the current development trend, the sales of this online store will only get higher and higher. The video received
There will be more and more advertisements for Chafan, which will definitely make money.
Give me some ideas, Pei Qian himself is worried about what if this idea becomes popular?
