The progress of these companies is different, some are fast, some are slow, some are making products steadily, and some are racking their brains every day to think about how to market.
The personality of the founder is different, and the company's behavior will naturally be different.
Judging from the current situation, Meng Chang is indeed quite capable. He was able to open his first store in such a short period of time, and he did a good job in all aspects, and it created a lot of popularity on the Internet. This is
It's enough to explain the problem.
Among all the projects currently invested by Yuanmeng Venture Capital, Cold Noodle Girl is considered to be the best performer, and it is also the fastest to burn money.
Soon, all projects were reported. Two companies found a small problem. After Jing Haibing pointed it out, the financial records of those two companies were immediately recorded and prepared for correction after the meeting.
The meeting ended and the video signals were cut off.
He Desheng said: "Mr. Pei, should we continue to strictly follow the previous policy? If we continue to invest after burning the money, then...according to the cold noodle girl's current spending method, we may have to invest again next month.
.”
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, keep the original plan unchanged and invest when you have to! Just say hello to me next time you invest money in the cold-faced girl."
He Desheng nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei."
…
…
Friday, November 25th.
After Pei Qian finished lunch, he came to the office and called up the results of this Tengda Spiritual Fit Test on the background.
There are a total of four opportunities for the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test. New employees will enter a trial period after joining the company, which lasts for one month. There will be a test opportunity every Friday.
If you pass the test in any of the four times, you will officially join the job. If you fail in all of them, you will have to leave.
However, because the time required for these new employees to complete the resignation procedures in their original units is different, the time to join Tengda is also sequential.
In this Tenda Spiritual Fit Test, about 1/4 of them were people who failed the last test, and the rest were all taking the test for the first time.
Pei Qian didn't have high hopes for this. After all, it had only been a week since the last test. What changes could have happened?
Even if what he said at the leaders' dinner had some subtle impact on the atmosphere of the entire company, it probably wouldn't have such an immediate impact.
Pei Qian opened the background to check.
"Um?"
"The passing rate seems to have dropped, right?"
"It's definitely gone down!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy, this was such an unexpected surprise!
The background of the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test will display the pass rate of each test, as well as the pass rates of the first test, the second test, and the three tests.
In other words, detailed data such as the approximate proportion of new employees in this period who passed the test twice will also be compiled.
It seems that a downward trend can be clearly seen.
"Is it possible that such a good thing is really possible?"
"No, you can't get carried away."
"Although the passing rate of this period has indeed dropped, after all, the people taking the exam are different every time, so the passing rate will naturally fluctuate up and down."
"This kind of thing still requires long-term observation and we cannot jump to conclusions."
Pei Qian silently read the data again, preparing to continue observing for a while. After all the new employees' Tengda mental test has been completed this time, he will take a look at the final pass rate before making a decision.
After turning off the background of the Tenda Spiritual Compatibility Test, Pei Qian casually browsed the recent news on the Internet.
Suddenly, he saw such a keyword at the bottom of the hot search: "ioi new version".
"Huh? Does it mean that rumors of the new version of ioi have leaked out?" Pei Qian immediately clicked to check.
Some time ago, Yangyang Games had already discovered some changes to the ioi national server strategy. After all, Yangyang Games must have more channels to get news in the industry than ordinary netizens.
But since Shangyang Games can find out this information, it definitely means that these changes are already in the process of being made. It is basically a done deal, so it is not surprising that this information leaks out and is exposed on the Internet.
The news from Yangyang Games will indeed be better, but it will only be a week or two faster at most.
Pei Qian searched the Internet for information about the new version of ioi, and found that the news came out because ioi updated these changes on the test server.
As soon as the test server was updated and changed, it immediately aroused huge controversy among the player community, and was also reproduced by major gaming media.
Although ioi is relatively unknown in China, its market share around the world is still considerable. There is no reason why the game media would let such a big news go.
The changes in the ioi test server update this time are mainly in terms of gameplay, including adjustments to the denial mechanism, changes in hero bounties, rich map resources, etc. It is slightly different from the changes mentioned by Lin Wan before, but they are similar.
However, after the update, old players did not buy it, and Zhidou Company’s official social platform account was instantly flooded with objections from old players.
Before Zhidou Company had time to explain, one wave of upheaval came after another.
Some gaming media obtained some internal information from unknown sources and disclosed Zhitou Company’s operational strategic adjustments for the ioi national server.
Change the national server to a low-price area, and lower the prices of heroes and skins to about 1/2 to 1/3 of the international server;
The national service ioi will cooperate with the domestic Longyu Group, and Longyu Group will be responsible for the localized operation of the ioi national service;
In addition, it is said that Zhitou Company has finally decided to start preparing for the first World Finals, and Chretien, the person in charge of the ioi national server, and the senior management of Longyu Group are in contact with various domestic clubs that still retain ioi divisions.
By the time Pei Qian noticed it, the news had already spread in the ioi player circle.
"It came out so quickly. The confidentiality work was not done very well."
"No, it's possible that he took the initiative to test the player's reaction."
"First let out some rumors, without any concrete evidence. If the players' reaction is not intense, then you can stand up and admit it; if the players' reaction is intense, then you can change to a more conservative plan based on public opinion."
Pei Qian originally thought that the news would not break out for at least another week, but he did not expect that it would spread so quickly.
Longyu Group is one of the top gaming companies in China in terms of size, and the public relations department is not just a freeloader. When the news first broke, if you wanted to, you could definitely suppress it.
But instead of suppressing the news, it spread quickly.
If there is no one behind this, Pei Qian doesn't believe it.
The key is that the only competitor of ioi in China is Tengda. Pei Qian knows very well that if Tengda did not do it, then it can only be done by Zhidou Company itself.
If you think about it carefully, this is not a particularly difficult operation to understand.
Zhitou Company has now decided to make this change mainly to attract more new players to join, but in doing so, it will inevitably change the gaming habits of old players.
After doing this operation, it is certain that you will be scolded. The only question is how badly you will be scolded.
If while being scolded, you can really create popularity and attract more new players to join the game, then the scolding will be worth it.
Therefore, Zhitou Company will first release some unconfirmed news and let these game media forward it to see how public opinion reacts.
If the response from public opinion is not too intense, then we can continue to implement it; if the response is particularly intense, then the part that everyone is strongly resisting can be temporarily shelved and only part of it can be implemented.
To put it bluntly, through this kind of operation, try to leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, if you update it without any care, and then change it back in despair amidst a lot of scolding, it will be too much for your face.
Pei Qian certainly welcomed this change with both hands.
An ioi that resists fiercely and struggles hard is a good ioi. Otherwise, if gog's market share continues to expand like this, wouldn't it be more and more difficult to lose money in the future?
It's just that the players' reactions are different.
Of course, the public opinion on the Internet is not one-sided. There are many players who support this change, and the arguments between the two sides are very fierce.
"Don't change the gameplay randomly. Is the designer out of his mind? I know you are jealous of Gog, but if you change it like this, why don't I just go and play Gog?"
"I oppose all changes except for enriching map resources! The game will definitely change after the changes!"
"You guys are really hard to serve. You were the ones who said before that the game is not exciting enough and there are not enough ways to play. Now that the game is going to change the gameplay, it is you who are jumping out to oppose it. I think this change is very good. It doesn't have to be so tiring to play. Really
If you want to spray it, you have to wait for the effect of the test server to come out before spraying it, right?"
"Hey, the ioi in the Chinese server has already gone cold. A die-hard old player like me has given up hope that it will become popular. Unexpectedly, it became a trending topic just because I saw it. Changing it to the low-price area is indeed cheaper for new players.
Players have been cheated, what about us old players who have deposited large sums of money before?"
"Fuck, the skin I just bought yesterday is going to depreciate greatly? At best, it will be cut in half, and at worst, it will be reduced to 1/3? Wait until the party laughs? I'm not saying that I won't let you lower the price. You lowered it so harshly. It's really
Just treat veteran players as human beings?"
"It's really difficult to serve. It sounds like you old players won't benefit from the price reduction? It will be cheaper for you to buy skins in the future."
"It is said that the external network has exploded, and many people are scolding Zhidou Company for being unfair, saying that they kneel down and lick Chinese server players."
"I feel unbalanced."
"That's not entirely true. Mainly, Gog is priced at a bargain price both at home and abroad. Without Gog, Zhidou Company's operation might not be criticized by too many people, but this comparison immediately creates a problem..."
"Zhizou Company has finally figured it out, let's start the global finals as soon as possible! It's not like the Dayak Group has no money. Such a competition has been delayed. Gog's Global Invitational Tournament has been held for more than two months, and GPL wants it.
The fight has begun! Zhidui Company is really too slow!"
"Is there any club playing ioi in China? I doubt it..."
"Yes, there are. It is said that the ioi branches of several old clubs are still there. I heard that the Longyu Group will pay a sum of money to support these people and support the scene."
"I think these actions are a good thing. It is obvious that ioi cannot beat gog. If we don't make changes, we will die slowly. It is better to give it a try."
"If you have the ability, unify the national server and the world server. All heroes will be free, and the skin price will be lower than GoG. Then you will spend money on leagues, promotions, and even playing games to get skins, etc., and then give additional rewards to old players.
No one will scold you for exclusive skins or coupon compensation! Dayak Group is so rich. I wholeheartedly agree with spending money on promotion. Now you want to take money from players’ pockets, and you want players to support you. What the hell?
?”
"Yeah, if you want to expand your market share, sell your own blood. What's the point of sucking blood from old players?"
Players with different opinions are quarreling online.
