Pei Qian came to Yangyang Games to supervise the progress of spending money.
You don’t have to be anxious about other things, but you can’t be anxious about spending money.
It is impossible to spend such a large amount of money all at once. For example, organizing games, confirming the schedule, confirming the venue, sending invitations to various clubs, asking them to apply for visas in advance, etc., all of this will take time.
If it is not processed quickly enough and a sum of money is not spent before settlement, it will be very rigid.
It's been two weeks since the spending plan was finalized, and a lot of work should have been almost advanced. It's time to take a look.
In the conference room, everyone from Yangyang Games has arrived.
Compared with the last meeting, everyone's expressions have become much more relaxed.
As soon as Mr. Pei took action, it gave people the feeling that it was "stable" and everything was developing in a better direction!
Lin Wan sorted out the information in his hand and began to report on recent work.
“First of all, let’s talk about the current situation of the national server.”
"Although our focus for the next period of time will be on the world server, I am also paying attention to the situation of the national server, because the national server is GoG's basic base and cannot be missed."
"It is worth mentioning that Eric's second wave of offensive has also failed."
Um?
Pei Qian felt a little baffled.
This time he remembered who Eric was, the executive who was parachuted in to take charge of the ioi national server.
But did the second wave of offensive also fail?
Is it still this efficient?
Pei Qian didn't even know when the second wave of offensive started...
This is a bit embarrassing. The news of victory reached Mr. Pei even earlier than the news of the war, which is outrageous.
Lin Wan continued: "After the initial local promotion strategy failed, Eric changed to a new strategy, which was to start with the peripheral industries of the game."
"He found several domestic live broadcast platforms, famous anchors, and some old e-sports clubs, hoping to cooperate and let them promote ioi. As you can imagine, the results were the same as before, or they were
If you declined, you might have been beaten too hard."
"It can only be said that so far gog has become a monolith in China. While maintaining a very high share, Internet cafes, live broadcast platforms, clubs, etc. have all been built as a monolith and have huge common interests with gog."
"Moreover, this common interest includes not only short-term immediate interests, but also long-term interests in the future. Internet cafes, live broadcast platforms and clubs all believe that ioi has no chance of winning, so considering long-term interests, it is obviously better to side with gog.
suitable."
"Although Eric can provide some short-term immediate benefits, there is no way to guarantee long-term benefits because he cannot build strong enough confidence in these people."
"And confidence is the most important thing."
"Eric even found several clubs to sponsor them to establish ioi branches, but they were all rejected. On the one hand, the price offered by Eric was not high enough, and on the other hand, these clubs were afraid of causing our dissatisfaction, which resulted in
I can’t get a spot in the upcoming World Invitational Tournament.”
Pei Qian silently lamented that Eric was so miserable.
I originally wanted to show off my talents in the Chinese server and compete with GoG to the death. However, I was stuck on the first step and couldn't even spend money.
Of course, if Eric is really willing to spend a lot of money, he will definitely be able to spend it. In the final analysis, the price given is not enough.
Internet cafes, clubs and live broadcast platforms took comprehensive considerations into account and found that they were not tempted at all, so they naturally turned him away.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, this Eric is a genius!
Not to mention the two waves of offensive have begun, they have not even succeeded in recruiting troops, and they are still at the stage of speeches before the uprising.
I'm really envious.
Wang Xiaobin marveled: "This Eric is really a talent. When he first came to China, he was so arrogant that he was so arrogant that he ended up causing trouble for a long time. That's it?"
Ye Zhizhou also said: "Although it seems a bit unkind to speak like this, I really want to know what his expression is like now."
Lin Wan smiled: "To be honest, these things are not all his responsibility."
"After all, Eric is only the person in charge of the operation of the ioi national server. His money is from Dayak Group and Zhidou Company, and he cannot spend it casually."
"If he could really spend unlimited amounts of money, as long as the price was set high enough, someone would always defect. But the problem is, he can't."
"Although Dayak Group is very rich, this does not contradict the fact that they are stingy."
"Dayak Group is all about money. When a sum of money is spent, it must be able to see real benefits. Just like they spent a sum of money to acquire Zhidou Company, which we cannot afford, it is also because
They have seen ioi's overseas achievements and believe that in the future, Zhidou will create value for them that is higher than the original acquisition price."
"However, if Eric wants to spend an excessive amount of money on the promotion of the national server, it will be difficult to convince the top management of the Dayak Group. What's more, even if the money is spent, it may not be effective.
Eric is about to take the blame, and he doesn’t dare to take the risk.”
"There is another piece of gossip that can be used as evidence."
"It is said that Zhidou Company has been preparing to organize ioi's international competition for a long time, but the budget is limited and it has only prepared 100,000 U.S. dollars."
"The acquisition of Dayak Group happened midway, so the matter was temporarily shelved."
"When Zhidou Company came up with this idea again, we took the lead in announcing that we would hold a global invitational tournament, and directly increased the prize pool dozens of times. The first prize alone reached 1 million U.S. dollars!"
"This is embarrassing for Zhidou Company."
"Around the world, gog is launching an offensive against ioi. If they also hold a competition, but the prize pool is only 100,000 US dollars, this is really embarrassing, it is better not to do it."
"If they don't want to be embarrassed, their bonus pool should at least be close to ours."
"But there seems to be no consensus within Dayak Group on this, because previous acquisitions have consumed a lot of cash flow from Dayak Group Media Company, allowing them to spend millions more on competitions in a short period of time.
Many senior executives felt reluctant to organize the event and believed that this move was not cost-effective."
"It's not that I don't have money, it's that I don't want to spend money."
"So, this matter can only be put on hold."
Pei Qian nodded silently, well, I originally thought that Eric seemed to be a talent, but now it seems that he is not.
The main reason why Eric was beaten up in the Chinese server was because Dayak's senior management actually managed the money.
Pei Qian's money-making ability does not lie in how much money he has, but in how much money he dares to spend.
I have 100 yuan and you have 1,000 yuan. It seems that you have ten times more than me, but I don’t feel bad if I spend all 100 yuan. You have to weigh it carefully when you spend 20 yuan. In terms of money-making ability, I am better
A little stronger.
Pei Qian quickly lost interest in Eric's affairs.
Hey, I thought I could put some pressure on gog in China so that I could justifiably spread money again and earn less.
The anticipation was in vain.
Pei Qian felt a little boring.
Lin Wan continued: "However, his third wave of offensive has already begun."
"In the first two attempts, he seemed to realize that gog's basic base is very solid, including Internet cafes, live broadcast platforms and clubs, all of which are deeply tied to us."
"Gog's related industries are already monolithic. A needle can't penetrate it, and water can't penetrate it. There's nothing he can do."
"So, Eric probably wants to change his mind to poach players of other types of games and let players who have never played gog get involved in ioi. It seems that he plans to find some, such as drinks, men's skin care products, mice,
Cooperation with manufacturers such as gaming chairs will shift the main focus to winning over third parties.”
"Mr. Pei, do you think it is necessary to follow me?"
Pei Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Is this Eric okay? He found a breakthrough despite being so passive?
Looking for third-party manufacturers to cooperate? Why didn’t we think of it before?
Very good, this Eric has provided me with new ideas for spending money!
Thank him!
Pei Qian nodded: "It is necessary, very necessary!"
"Keep an eye on me. Whichever company Eric cooperates with, we will also cooperate with. No matter what he chooses, we will follow him immediately!"
"You don't have to use your brain, just spend money. It's so easy!"
Everyone couldn't help but show sympathetic expressions.
I think back when Yangyang Games was promoting the ioi national server, Tenda Games did this.
No matter what kind of promotion method the ioi national server thinks of, gog has no brains to follow up!
The word "Ceng" makes everyone in the foreign game feel ecstatic.
Because gog’s user base in China already overwhelms ioi, so as long as you don’t have the brains to follow, there is absolutely nothing ioi can do.
At the same time, everyone is more certain that what Tengda Games did before must have been learned from Mr. Pei.
This set of tricks to play gangsters is the same!
All I can say is that now everyone is watching the fire from the other side and can only mourn for Eric.
Pei Qian was immersed in the joy of finding a new way to spend money, and didn't care about Eric's life or death.
"Okay, this matter is settled, let's continue." Pei Qian waved his hand to indicate that the meeting should continue.
Lin Wan continued: "Gog's overseas promotion has also achieved good results."
"Mr. Pei, with the last remaining 20 million dollars, we acquired a comic company in the United States with less than 5% of the market share, called Hurricane Comics. We decided to use its largest IP, which is Multi-faceted Man, as the main product
Heroes as propaganda.”
"After the preparation and warm-up some time ago, the advertisements of Multifaceted Man and gog have been fully rolled out in Times Square, subways, bus stations, major websites and other areas. The number of gog's overseas service users is growing rapidly every day.
"
"The price of Gog Conscience has been well received by overseas players. Heroes with interesting mechanics such as the Wind Swordsman Ruan and Modeste have also won the love of overseas players."
"Now Tenda Games has completed the production of Polyface Man, and it will be launched on the weekend. There should be a surge in traffic by then!"
Pei Qian frowned slightly: "Wait a minute, the Hurricane Comics Company you just mentioned... didn't just make a movie called Iron Man, right?"
Lin Wan shook her head in confusion: "Iron Man? What is that? Hurricane Comics does not have any ability to make movies. It is on the verge of bankruptcy. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to sell himself for more than 20 million dollars."
Pei Qian was relieved.
Well, let me just say, I can't be so unlucky every time.
You can't just buy a company that is seriously undervalued, right? That's too unscientific.
I was still worried about how to spend the more than 20 million dollars before, but now it has been spent smoothly, so I can rest assured.
Moreover, what I bought was a comic book company that was about to go bankrupt and had a market share of less than 5%, so it would not directly overwhelm ioi overseas, which was good.
The offensive should not be too fierce, let gog eat away at ioi's market share bit by bit, then Dayak Group will resist, and gog can continue to legitimately spend money on promotion.
You expand your market share, and I steal your market share. This cycle forms a perpetual motion.
At that time, gog and ioi will continue to play happily in overseas servers, and everyone will happily burn money together. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Dayak, you bought the money-burning tree of my ioi national server and asked us to burn money without thinking. There is no other way but to let you be my new money-burning tree!
