In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while checking the weekly work reports submitted to him by various departments.
I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m criticizing a memorial.
Now Pei Qian understands a little bit why those foolish emperors in ancient times did not like to go to court or approve memorials, because this is indeed a very troublesome thing. How can it be fun to be a shopkeeper who eats, drinks and has fun every day!
At present, Tengda has many industries. If the head of each department comes to report on the work, it will be a bit overwhelming, and Pei Qian doesn't want to do that. After all, he needs freedom.
Therefore, Pei Qian currently supervises the work of various departments of Tenda mainly through two methods:
The first is for each department to regularly submit weekly work reports, condensing this week's work situation into a high-level summary of a few dozen words, so that Pei Qian can roughly know what these departments are planning recently and take precautions in advance.
The second type is to report at the biweekly regular meeting of the management team. These reports will be slightly more detailed and can also be mutually verified with the weekly work reports of each department to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Pei Qian flipped through the weekly reports sent by various departments and stopped at the weekly report from Yangyang Games.
"Hey, were the new DLCs for the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" officially launched yesterday?"
"That's a good thing."
"...I won't be the last one to know the news, right?"
In the past two days, in addition to going to class, Pei Qian also spent a lot of time reviewing unexpectedly.
Because exam week is coming next month, junior year courses are relatively more difficult than freshman and sophomore years, and there are more exam subjects.
Pei Qian always felt ashamed that he failed Ma Yang in previous exams.
We can finally avenge our shame this time, right?
You know, Ma Yang is very busy now. He has to do live broadcasts to "bring goods" and spread money on Weibo. Moreover, he has become a celebrity in the school and may even be recognized while walking on the street.
Many students would respectfully call out "Mr. Ma" when they saw this long face.
That's it, Lao Ma still has to take time to review carefully and prepare for the exam.
As for Pei Qian, although everyone at Tenda Group believes that Mr. Pei is ten times busier than Mr. Ma, Pei Qian knows in his heart that his real working hours may only be two hours a day.
That is, the month before settlement is really busy.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that it would really make no sense if he still failed the exam under such circumstances.
What's more, Pei Qian also borrowed the notes of several girls in the class who were very good at studying this time, so he was well prepared.
Having never taken the Lao Ma exam before, Pei Qian also reflected on it seriously and felt that it was mainly because his review posture was wrong.
Borrowing Ma Yang's notes to review, the upper limit is only one point compared to his. How can it be exceeded?
Assuming that the upper limit of Ma Yang's notes is 70 points, then no matter how much he reviews, it is impossible to break through 70 points!
So this time Pei Qian was very stupid and borrowed other people's notes, just thinking that he could overtake in corners and beat Ma Yang once in performance.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to fail the bastard like Lao Ma every time he takes the exam! It seems that Pei Qian himself can’t even understand the bastard.
Pei Qian, who had been concentrating on reviewing these two days, did not pay attention to the launch of DLC for these two old games, so he only found out later when he saw the weekly work report from Yangyang Games the day after the DLC was launched.
"Let me see the sales..."
"These two crappy games have been around for so long. Everyone is tired of playing them. Is it possible that some people are still buying their DLC? No, right?"
"Fuck! What's going on?"
Pei Qian opened the backstage and took a look, and instantly lost his composure.
The two DLCs launched yesterday, the "Lonely Desert Highway" DLC sales have reached 250,000 copies, and the "Game Maker" DLC sales have also reached 130,000 copies!
Based on a rough estimate of the pricing of 5 yuan and 18 yuan, after deducting royalties, taxes, etc., the net income these two DLCs bring to Tenda Games is more than 2 million yuan a day!
Moreover, this is just one day’s income.
In the next week or even a month, these DLCs will continue to generate revenue. As their influence spreads in the next few days, sales may even show signs of increasing!
Pei Qian was at a loss.
What the hell is going on!
He really doesn't understand the current situation. How long have these two games been released? They should have been gathering dust in players' game libraries long ago, right?
So what does it mean that you keep holding on to these two crappy games and never let go? You guys keep buying DLC for this game. How sick!
Pei Qian decided to make DLC for these old games with two intentions:
The first is to disperse the manpower of Yangyang Games and let Wang Xiaobin, who is not good at gameplay, work on these DLCs. This will slow down GOG's overseas operations a little and give ioi a little breathing space;
The second is that I feel that few people play the old game, so I secretly update it with DLC, which costs money and has no sales. It’s the worst of both worlds.
As a result, looking at it now, I think it was completely blind!
This sales volume is a bit outrageous!
Pei Qian's biggest feeling now is confusion and confusion.
Why is it that Wang Xiaobin is not good at designing gameplay? Why is it that no one is playing the old game that was promised?
What is going on now?
With confusion, Pei Qian went to browse the forum and saw a long and passionate comment from a certain player.
"Tengda Games: A perfect example of sincerity creating a win-win situation!"
"Yesterday I heard that "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" had updated DLC. My first reaction was that I didn't believe it. These two games have been out of date for a long time, and the main games are already free.
Is it necessary to release more DLC? Can we really make money?"
"I'm a little confused. Tenda owns GOG and is still developing new large-scale game projects. Why should it take time to develop DLC for these old games that have completed their historical mission?"
"But now I understand that Tengda's operations are full of routines!"
"Everyone knows that the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" have been free for a long time, so most people have already gone to get them. Are you happy?"
"Originally, I thought that this kind of free service was a very common promotion strategy. After all, the life of the game is coming to an end and there are not many sales left. It is a good choice to give up the sales to expand the influence of the game."
"But now I realize that the main body is free, and selling DLC is also a good option! This is completely a trap!"
"It is precisely because the two games are free, which greatly expands the game's player base, that we can achieve such good sales when new DLC is released!"
"And what's even more commendable is that on the basis of the original stand-alone gameplay, this time the DLC has added an online gameplay, which instantly activates the potential of these two games and allows old players to find new fun! Moreover, this
This game also contains Easter eggs for Tenda’s new games, which gives you even more reasons to buy it!”
"So I say that Tenda Games is a model of sincerity creating a win-win situation."
"If it were any other company, the old games would have just been left to fend for themselves, and players would have no choice but to leave the games in the game library to gather ashes."
"But Tenda is different. They are willing to update old games every once in a while. This shows a strong sense of responsibility and makes players feel that Tenda does not give up any game; on the other hand, it uses interesting gameplay and
Easter eggs connect all old games together and become part of Tenda’s gaming empire, and the method of freeing them first and then selling DLC has also achieved good sales and profits."
"To be honest, this kind of sincerity is not something difficult to achieve, but most companies are unwilling to do it because they think it is unprofitable. But Tenda did the opposite, which shows how big a company it is.
A maverick company!”
"No more talking, I will buy these two DLCs first as a token of respect!"
Pei Qian looked at this long comment and his expression fell into a dull state.
Is it free to sell more DLC?
Don't mess with me, I don't mean it at all!
If the system hadn't stipulated that new products must be priced, would you believe that I would give all DLC for free?
Pei Qian originally thought that the worst case scenario was just to gain some reputation, but he didn't expect that so many players were actually willing to pay for it!
In fact, the proportion of players who spend money to buy DLC is not high in the total sales of the main game. However, because both main games are free, there are too many people who have played them, so now selling a DLC can activate the game.
Only with the new gameplay can so many people be willing to buy it!
"Without further delay, this money must be spent quickly."
“Go to Dream Realm Venture Capital?”
Pei Qian felt uncomfortable when he thought about making money again.
Although there are still nearly two months until settlement, these two DLCs will continue to make money.
What to do with this money, you still have to plan ahead and make plans in advance.
Pei Qian thought about it and decided that he still had to go to Dream Venture Capital.
You should be able to roughly tell whether the first batch of companies you invested in has made a profit or not. If you sell the ones that are profitable quickly, and invest in the ones that are not profitable, you should be able to spend all this windfall.
…
Dream Venture Capital, meeting room.
He Desheng began to report the first round of investment to President Pei.
"Mr. Pei, we have invested in a total of 11 companies so far. Two companies have shown obvious signs of profitability, one company has an obvious profit trend, and three companies are very popular and have attracted the attention of other investors.
There is no movement from the remaining five companies, but there is still a lot of funds in the company's accounts, so there is no shortage of money for the time being."
"This is the detailed information of each company, please take a look."
Pei Qian reached out to take the information and found that it was full of various complicated financial statements, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
He put the information aside: "I don't look at these things. Just follow my previous rules. If you have already made a profit, sell it immediately; if it shows a profit trend, don't invest any more money, and sell it when you make a profit."
If there is no profit, continue to observe; if the money is spent, continue to invest."
"The money earned after selling it will be directly invested in the following companies in order. The financial staff we sent can also be withdrawn and then responsible for other companies."
