Chapter 971 President Pei wants to trick me again, but fortunately I see through it!
At the beginning of the video, it is still Qiao Laoshi's unique voice with a slight dialect accent, hoarse and long.
"Hello dear viewers and dads, I am still your "Game Calling Father" Qiao Laoshi who works hard every day until his head is bald, and is as productive as a sow."
“Recently, the official released a ‘Collection of Domestic Classic Games’, and I just took this opportunity to introduce to you a ‘classic’ domestic game called ‘National Game Shame’, ‘Mission and Choice’!”
"There may be many dads in the audience who have not experienced that era and don't understand why this game is called the 'National Game of Shame.'
After all, Qiao Liang started his career with this series. When it comes to complaining about garbage games, he can easily do it.
The video is full of research on various materials at that time, and there are also a lot of game scenes, coupled with Qiao Liang's gags and humorous explanation style. Although it is a subject that has been done many times, it is still interesting to listen to.
.
After complaining about how rubbish this game is, Qiao Liang also introduced the final outcome of this incident: players who pre-ordered "Mission and Choice" received a large number of refunds, a large number of discs were discarded, and players' enthusiasm for supporting domestic games was
A severe blow, domestic stand-alone games worsened and entered a long period of decline...
Qiao Liang was heartbroken when he talked about this paragraph, and the audience also sighed.
However, at the end of the video, Qiao Liang changed the topic and brought hope to the audience.
"To this day, "Mission and Choice" has been nailed to the pillar of shame for domestic games."
"In the past, when mentioning "Mission and Choice", we could only vent our anger towards this game with a sense of resentment, lamenting the misfortune of domestic stand-alone games and being angry at them."
"But what is gratifying now is that when we look back at the game "Mission and Choice" again, the original resentment no longer exists, and it is more of a ridicule."
"Because more and more excellent domestic games are emerging, the domestic stand-alone game market is no longer a desert."
"We can finally let go of the unpleasant memories and move on."
"Some people once said that domestic games, except for Tenda, are all rubbish. Although we have "Return to the Shore" and "Struggle", they are just a miracle flower in the desolate desert."
"But now, we know that the domestic stand-alone game market is not the work of Mr. Pei alone after all. We have the 'Endless Project', as well as a series of excellent independent games such as "Survival Manual for Office Workers" and "Ink and Clouds"!"
"As these independent game producers continue to grow, they will surely be able to continue to improve, so that the old tree of domestic stand-alone games can once again flourish and flourish!"
"The future of domestic stand-alone games will definitely become better and better!"
"The content of the 'Qiu Tu Project' incubation base is taken from an exclusive interview on the official platform. If you are interested, you can check it out by yourself. In addition, "Ink Clouds and Smoke" will be officially released tomorrow, I hope everyone can pay close attention!"
Qiao Liang is also a big UP master in the game section of the Elly Island website. Not long after the video was released, it has already received a high number of views and a large number of comments.
Many viewers came in with great interest when they saw Qiao Liang's updated video. They were disappointed when they found out that it was a "garbage game complaint". They all said that Qiao Laoshi's hype was really perfunctory. A game from more than ten years ago was still awarded
A video came out.
But after watching the entire video, the audience was deeply moved and the discussion was extremely heated!
"I saw that "Fantasy War Remastered" was released before, but we here have been promoting the 'domestic classic game collection', and I felt very disappointed. But after watching this video, I feel better. Although domestic stand-alone games are currently compared with foreign
It’s still incomparable, but obviously someone is still working hard!”
"Qiao Laoshi is right. I used to scold "Mission and Choice" because there was really no good domestic stand-alone game. Now everyone can look at it with a ridiculing attitude, not because we are tolerant.
, but because the domestic stand-alone game environment has improved, and we have a batch of good games of our own, so we can naturally laugh off the shame of the past."
"I just went to watch the interview and it was really good."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Wu Zhicheng, the developer of "Ink Clouds and Smoke", had such a bumpy experience before. Without the "Endless Plan", the release of "Ink Clouds and Smoke" would have been delayed for another ten years... and it would definitely not be possible now.
quality.”
"Mr. Qiu's mental journey is also very touching. He entered the industry with a dream, lost his true nature by playing games for money, and then came back again. Isn't it a blessing to be able to fulfill his dream in his middle age?
"
“I just don’t know who this mysterious investor is, but I feel like he is a big-picture and generous person.”
"It's decided, I will definitely support all games produced by the "Jiutu Project" in the future, as long as they are of decent quality!"
…
After reading the situation in the comment area, Pei Qian's mood became even worse.
Although no one has guessed that this "mysterious investor" is him, the popularity of "Jiutu Project" and "Ink and Clouds" has increased again!
Not only that, "Mission and Choice" is an old game that not many people paid attention to, but now it has become the focus of discussion among players because of Qiao Liang's video.
This is really detrimental to the upcoming release of "Mission and Choice"!
Pei Qian silently raised Qiao Liang's ranking in his notebook while pacing anxiously in the office.
Qiao Liang's prediction made Pei Qian's originally perfect plan suddenly more risky.
What to do?
Pei Qian walked around the office twice and decided to call Meng Chang.
You have to prepare for a rainy day.
The key issue now is not how to expand the results, but to find ways to stop losses in advance.
Pei Qian knew that Meng Chang had asked for 30 million in publicity funds, but now he had only spent 10 million, leaving 20 million unspent.
Without Qiao Liang's video, Pei Qian would definitely have hoped that Meng Chang would spend the remaining 20 million as soon as possible. The faster he spent it, the happier he would be.
But now things have changed.
Qiao Liang's video has already had a very good publicity effect. What if the 20 million is spent and the popularity of "Mission and Decision" is greatly increased, and the publicity funds are doubled after the game is released? What then?
The main reason was that Pei Qian had not asked about Meng Chang's publicity plan, so he was instinctively worried.
Thinking of this, he immediately dialed Meng Chang's phone number.
…
At this time, Meng Chang was at his workstation, continuing to play "Mission and Decision".
When he saw the call from Mr. Pei, Meng Chang didn't dare to neglect and picked up the call immediately.
"What? Don't spend the remaining 20 million?"
"Why?"
Meng Chang was dumbfounded, this was like a bolt from the blue.
In his opinion, the current publicity is all good, and the huge amount of money invested has not caused much splash. The "domestic classic game collection" is not publicized, and the effect is not much worse.
He originally planned to go directly to AII next week and spend all the remaining 20 million to make the final decision and get the full commission.
I never expected that Mr. Pei would ask to stop spending money at this critical juncture?
This was simply unacceptable to Meng Chang.
Pei Qian fully understood Meng Chang's mood and said sincerely: "I understand your mood. After all, the results last month were gratifying, and the first half of this month also went very smoothly."
"I'm mainly worried that something will go wrong. If you feel uncomfortable, so will I."
"Let's do this. Don't spend the 20 million. I'll calculate the commission as half of the full amount for you. We'll just make do with it this month, and we'll make long-term plans next month."
Pei Qian couldn't explain it too clearly. He was afraid that something would suddenly go wrong if he spent a huge amount of money on publicity. While he was making money, Meng Chang wouldn't get a penny of commission. Why bother?
So I chose a compromise plan, stopped publicizing it, and gave Meng Chang a small commission as compensation. It doesn't matter to you or me.
Although if the promotion continues, the two of them may not collapse together, but Pei Qian has a strong worry, and his sixth sense has always been very accurate.
Meng Chang was not happy at that time.
"Mr. Pei, you can't do this! We signed the agreement in black and white, how can we change it casually?"
Pei Qian was indeed a little unreasonable. After a moment of silence, he said: "I am mainly worried that something will go wrong with your plan. Then the commission will be gone. It will be a big loss."
Meng Chang laughed in his heart.
Mr. Pei, what you say is too hypocritical!
You obviously saw that the 20 million promotional funds were about to be wasted, so you came to trick me into stopping. Saving me tens of thousands of commissions is a small thing, but saving 20 million is a big deal!
But you want me to give in? That is absolutely impossible!
I've been planning so hard for so long, and now I'm about to make the final move. Are you trying to scare me with just a few words?
No way!
Meng Chang said categorically: "Mr. Pei, you don't have to worry, my plan is perfect and there will never be any mistakes!"
"Please believe me, and please abide by the spirit of the contract!"
Meng Chang said it categorically, and Pei Qian had nothing to say.
In fact, Pei Qian was not sure that something would go wrong after the 20 million was spent. He was just vaguely worried about it.
Since Meng Chang is so firm and believes that his plan is absolutely fine, Pei Qian doesn't have to make too much trouble over an uncertain matter, so he can only choose to believe in him.
After all, their goals are the same.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, then you should proceed as planned, and I won't interfere."
"Good luck!"
Pei Qian said these last four words with great sincerity.
However, to Meng Chang's ears, he always felt that there was something strange and strange about it.
"No, this money must be spent immediately, otherwise things will change if you wait too long!"
