Morning.
"Sneeze!"
In the office, Pei Qian, who was using the air conditioner, sneezed inexplicably.
"Strange, is the air conditioner turned on too much?"
Pei Qian wrapped himself in a small blanket, turned off the TV series, and planned to take a nap while leaning on the boss's chair. .
There was a knock on the door, it was Lu Mingliang.
"Mr. Pei, I have a few things to report to you."
Pei Qian nodded: "Go ahead."
Lu Mingliang saw Pei Qian was wrapped in a blanket and looked like he was about to sleep, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Mr. Pei seems to be feeling unwell. He can obviously go home and rest, but he still insists on working with us at work!
Sure enough, no matter how successful you are, you still have to maintain your fighting spirit!
Lv Mingliang was afraid of delaying Mr. Pei’s rest, so he hurriedly reported.
"First of all, it's about the new version."
"The development of the new version is going well. However, for some reason, there is news about the limited number of new epic weapons in "Sea Fortress" The news has spread, and players are currently protesting strongly. "Mr. Pei, look, how about we relax the number of weapons a little bit? For example... five thousand?"
Pei Qian shook his head decisively: "No."
Five thousand?
What a joke!
What is 5000×888? Can you count?
Pei Qian said sternly: "A limited quantity is a limited quantity. If you make it look like Chinese cabbage, what else do you call limited sales?"
"Don't care what they shout, 500 handfuls is 500 handfuls. If you sell more, I will lose."
Seeing Mr. Pei's firm attitude, Lu Mingliang had no choice but to nod: "Okay, Mr. Pei."
"The second thing is, Ma Yiqun’s work issues.”
“He has reported it to me several times and strongly hopes that he can participate in the development of the new version.”
“I think about it. Come on, the new version updates of "Ghost General" and "Game Producer" do have a lot of copywriting content that needs to be done by professionals like him."
"How about letting him try it first? Practice your skills?"
Pei Qian did not answer immediately.
I can’t find any good reason to refuse.
But don’t refuse, Pei Qian is very reluctant to let Ma Yiqun actually do these copywriting.
Ma Yiqun’s writing skills are excellent. The several copywriting packages he did for Yangyang Games before were all very brilliant. If this is the icing on the cake for "Ghost General" and "Game Producer", the consequences will be very great. serious!
But how to refuse?
Ma Yiqun came to the company in March, and it has been two months now. It is a bit unreasonable to let him continue to study.
If Ma Yiqun is not allowed to do the copywriting content of the game, he must be given something else to do.
Send it to Huang Sibo to shoot a short video? It doesn't seem to work, but his writing style may also work in short videos.
Send it to Moyu Internet Cafe? This is not bad, but the name is unfair and there is no suitable reason.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian didn't think of any good solution, so he reluctantly nodded: "Okay, I should have learned enough during this period, let him be responsible for some basic work."
< p>Pei Qian said reluctantly.Lu Mingliang nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Pei. Then you can continue to rest, I will go and get started."
Pei Qian leaned on the chair and wrapped himself again Small blanket, I always feel a little restless and can't sleep even if I want to.
"Strange, where does this feeling of danger come from?"
"It can't be from Yangyang Games, right?"
Pei Qian I quickly ran through several projects in my mind.
For Tenda, the new version will probably make money, but no matter how much money is made, it should be within the controllable range and no serious problem;
Feihuang Studio said Filming a documentary, but there is no sign yet;
Moyu Internet Cafe is a traditional advantage project. The two new stores have just been renovated and are ready to open. As for the flagship store, I just visited it more than a week ago and found no hidden dangers.
After thinking about it, Yangyang games are the riskiest!
Pei Qian asked them to cut off all the payment points in the two games, leaving only one. This is indeed a risky move.
Cutting down payment points will improve the game’s reputation, that’s for sure.
But reputation and revenue are two different things.
A game like "War Song" has rubbish graphics and mediocre gameplay. The only advantage is that the rich can kill people in it after spending money. In other words, the core advantage of this game is "selling hatred" .
If you cut me off, if I have money, I will recharge it immediately and cut it back. This is the core advantage of similar games.
It is precisely because this game is "selling hatred" and stimulating players' negative emotions that no matter how bad the graphics and gameplay are, there are still people playing it.
If Pei Qian doesn’t change anything, it is still possible for this game to come back to its glory days, and the possibility is not small.
As long as Ye Zhizhou does a little promotion and plans to return old players to return the game to its original profit level, Pei Qian will not lose money.
So, Pei Qian directly cut off the payment points of the game.
"War Hymn" has no advantages over other games in terms of graphics or gameplay. It is a fool's errand to attract new players.
Even if it becomes fair and the reputation gets better, so what?
As long as it doesn’t make money.
Of course, what if this game attracts a large number of new players to join due to its overwhelming reputation, and the player base is too large, pushing up profits?
It cannot be said that this does not exist at all.This possibility can only be said to be very unlikely.
Pei Qian thought about it and realized that there seemed to be risks only in Yangyang Games, so he decided to focus on it.
First, I went to the official forum of "Blooded War Song" to have a look.
Indeed, it seems that the popularity has increased, the reputation has reversed, and some old players have returned.
However, Pei Qian did not panic and immediately sent a message to Ye Zhizhou: "Send me the background recharge data of "Hot Blooded War Song"."
A few minutes later, Ye Zhizhou sent a message screenshot.
This is the backend recharge data of "War Song". Pei Qian scanned it casually and saw that the per capita payment rate has indeed increased, and it has increased a lot, but the total recharge amount has dropped significantly, down by 70 to 80%. !
According to this estimate, it is doubtful whether the monthly income of "War Hymn" will reach 100,000 yuan.
Well, don’t panic, it’s still within the plan!
For a game to survive, the most important thing is to make profits, so there are so many companies that promote recharge consumption activities even if they are criticized by players, just to achieve the goal of profitability.
What’s the use of having a good reputation if the game keeps losing money?
The modified "War Hymn" is indeed conscientious, but the key is to see who you compete with!
Compared with krypton gold games, the local tycoons are not that happy here, and their income is greatly reduced;
Compared with other conscientious games, such as "Fantasy World" First of all, "War Song" has garbage graphics, mediocre gameplay, and is uncompetitive.
This is called not paying attention to both ends.
"Not bad, keep it up."
After replying to Ye Zhizhou, Pei Qian felt relieved, wrapped himself in a blanket, and fell asleep happily.
Two new stores will open in two days, and he will have to inspect them then to feel at ease.
……
Shangyang Games.
Looking at the message from Mr. Pei, Ye Zhizhou felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Although Mr. Pei has many things to do and is busy with his affairs, he still pays attention to Shangyang Games!
Although our game’s current revenue has plummeted, this is obviously within Mr. Pei’s plan, so Mr. Pei asked us to keep it up!
This shows that we are heading in the right direction!
Ye Zhizhou instantly felt full of energy.
Sure enough, is this the qualitative change that a good boss brings to the company?
……
……
May 20th.
Two Moyu Internet Cafe branches are officially opened!
Pei Qian, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan, the three managers of Moyu Internet Cafe, naturally wanted to be there to celebrate.
It’s just that the situation at the scene was a little embarrassing.
It’s so deserted!
It was a little more deserted than when the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store opened.
The key point is that the location of these two branches is worse than the flagship store, and Pei Qian has repeatedly orderedShen, you must not do anything like that when you open your business. You must not set off firecrackers or hand out leaflets. You must be as low-key as possible.
It opened quietly in such a remote place, so it was naturally very deserted.
Pei Qian was very comfortable, drinking coffee in the deserted coffee area and looking outside, enjoying the warm sunshine.
The two store managers were a little embarrassed, but after all, they were transferred from the flagship store. They had seen this kind of scene many times, and they knew that Mr. Pei would not blame them, so they did not panic at all.
On the contrary, the newly recruited waiters have never seen such a bizarre scene. They all feel that they have nowhere to put their hands and feet. They always feel that this store is full of evil.
In the corner of the Internet cafe, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan whispered.
"Why are you stopping me?" Ma Yang looked confused.
Just now, Ma Yang felt that the scene was too cold and morale was low, so he wanted to share with Pei Qian the good news about the recent Internet cafe.
Under Chen Lei’s hard-working performance, the Internet cafe’s wine sales are increasing every day, and the customer flow has also increased significantly!
Ma Yang believes that this model can be extended to all Moyu Internet cafes.
But before he could say anything, he was stopped by Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan obviously knew what he wanted to say, and whispered: "Brother Ma, it's not that I don't want you to say it, it's just that the time is not right now, it's too rash."
Ma Yang was stunned. : "Huh? What's going on?"
"Brother Ma, we only have a slight increase in wine sales. We estimate that we can earn an extra two to thirty thousand yuan per month, which is the same as Internet cafes. Compared with the monthly loss of 300,000 yuan, this hole is still huge!"
"Such a big achievement doesn't sound loud at all!"
" When the time comes, you brag, and Mr. Pei asks: "You did a good job, how much did you earn?" But you say, "You're still losing money." This is so boring!"
"Don't brag about it! Well, this blow has raised Mr. Pei’s expectations, and isn’t he even more disappointed?”
“I would say, let’s tell Mr. Pei again when we turn losses into profits. He was surprised. In this way, we and Moyu Internet Cafe will have a higher status in Mr. Pei’s heart and be more confident!"
"Brother Ma, is this true?"
Ma Yang thought about it, and it seemed like this was the case.
We are still far away from turning losses into profits. Telling Pei Qian the good news now is really meaningless.
It’s really inappropriate.
Ma Yang nodded: "Well, that makes sense. Let's talk about this later. When the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store really turns a profit, I'll give Brother Qian a surprise!"
