Monday, April 11th.
Shangyang Games.
Lin Wan was in her office, worrying about recent work tasks.
She found that the tasks assigned by Mr. Pei were becoming more and more challenging.
Previously, I was developing an online horror game that was very rare on the market, and was also responsible for the development of a mobile phone. Now, I am operating the national server of ioi, a successful foreign game project.
Compete directly with Tenda Games’ GOG in the domestic market!
Logically speaking, it is much more difficult to develop a new game and then be responsible for a mobile phone than to be an agent for a game.
Because agent games do not require your own research and development, you only need to think about operation and promotion strategies, which seems easier.
But Lin Wan's pressure at this time was even greater than before.
Because she thinks this is a very difficult task!
Much more difficult than the previous task!
As soon as she received the task, she called Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin for a meeting to discuss the plan for the task.
Some conventional plans were quickly finalized, such as opening the official website of the Chinese server, translation and dubbing for the Chinese server, renting cloud servers, outsourcing customer service teams, opening and operating promotion activities for the Chinese server, etc.
These are the most basic. Even if Lin Wan doesn't care, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin and others can complete them.
But the problem is, how can it compete with GOG with these alone?
Lin Wan recalled that when Mr. Pei handed over the task before, his words seemed to have great expectations for ioi's national server.
But Lin Wan himself does not believe that ioi can compete with GOG in the Chinese server.
Because GOG’s game quality is not inferior to ioi, and the most critical issue is that GOG has seized the market through the interoperability of client games and mobile games, and has won over them through cash rewards settled in four seasons every year. A large number of players.
Currently, both players who are originally players of "Shenqi" and ioi, as well as players who have never been exposed to similar games before, have a natural affinity for GOG.
Already lagging so far behind at the beginning, it is not easy to turn the situation around!
What made Lin Wan most speechless was that it was himself who gave Li Yada advice and asked her to use the mobile version first...
Of course, this idea was proposed by Mr. Pei. Yes, but Lin Wan interpreted Mr. Pei’s intentions.
Lin Wan now feels a little bit more like other companies competing with Tenda.
It’s completely impossible to say!
Tengda Games can be said to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it can also get guidance from Mr. Pei, making it an absolutely difficult enemy.
While I was worrying, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Lin Wan looked up and saw that it was Ye Zhizhou.
“How are the preparations for the launch of the national server?” Lin Wanasked casually.
Ye Zhizhou held a document in his hand and sat down across from the desk: "Everything goes well. Our department has always had experience in operating "War Song". Although the difficulty of operating ioi is much higher, it is still We won’t be in a hurry.”
Lin Wan felt a little melancholy: “I don’t know what Mr. Pei is thinking this time.”
“I don’t want to compete with Tenda’s game department at all. ”
“But Mr. Pei’s attitude seems to encourage us to spend money on marketing and promotion, so that the ioi national server version can seize the GOG market.”
“Fight yourself. I always feel weird, especially since I’m so familiar with the people in the Tenda Game Department.”
“Besides, I really don’t think I have a chance of winning.”
Obviously, for Lin Wan, these two games are very different.
GOG is a game developed by Tenda itself, and there are heroes based on Mr. Pei; although ioi is not bad, it is not that friendly after all.
What's more, Tenda only has the right to operate ioi, but cannot interfere in research and development, which also makes Lin Wan feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Zhizhou was silent for a moment and said: "I think Mr. Pei may be using a gu-raising tactic."
"GOG's development has been too smooth, and it is easy to become slack. Being overtaken by latecomers, most players only play one game at a time, winner takes all." Lin Wan thought for a while: "I thought so too. But...where is the evidence?"
Ye Zhizhou said: "The evidence is time."
"The first investment of Yuanmeng Venture Capital after its establishment was 20 million in Zhitou Company. And got ioi's national server agency rights; then, Mr. Pei started asking Tenda Game Department to immediately start developing GOG. Is this just a coincidence? "
"Obviously, Mr. Pei had foreseen it. This game type has huge potential in the future.”
“For most games, you can choose either agency or self-development, but Mr. Pei obviously attaches great importance to this game mode, so. Only then can we work with both hands, acting as an agent and doing our own research at the same time."
Lin Wan nodded, feeling that it made sense.
Mr. Pei has always given people the impression that he is strategizing and calculating without leaving any stone unturned.
When making games, after a certain type of game is successful, you will never redo a second game of the same type.
However, GOG and ioi are obviously the same type of games, but they are laid out at the same time. Whether they are betting on both ends or allowing the two projects to encourage each other, it shows that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to this.
Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then, our primary goal now is to complete Mr. Pei's mission and seriously grab GOG users, right?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded. Head: "I agree. Although we can't guess 100% of Mr. Pei's thoughts, Mr. Pei asked us to grab GOG'sUsers should have no doubt about this. "
"But..." Lin Wan frowned slightly, "Maybe it's because I have a strong subjective color when looking at GOG. I really don't think there is anything about ioi that can definitely beat GOG. of. "
Ye Zhizhou handed the document in his hand to Lin Wan: "I think this may be one of the trump cards in our hand. ”
Lin Wan reached out and took it, quickly flipped through it and found that it was a development schedule for new heroes for ioi.
This year, ioi is expected to update 24 new heroes, with an average of Two new heroes will be updated every month.
"So fast? ! "Lin Wan was stunned.
Because she roughly understands the complex process required to make a new hero, including hero creativity, appearance design, original painting, modeling, action, special effects, numerical balance...
These tasks are very tedious.
This kind of update speed can be called a model worker.
As the saying goes, the best in martial arts is fast, and the same is true for games. Game manufacturers' games are not perfect. As long as they continue to update, improve, and provide new content, they can maintain sufficient player stickiness.
On the contrary, even if a company's games are well-made, However, the update is too slow to meet players' needs for new content in a timely manner, and the popularity of this game will quickly decline.
Zhitou Company's ioi itself is a well-made game. If it can be updated. This ultra-fast update speed...
It is definitely very competitive!
Lin Wan thought for a while: "GOG... it seems impossible to maintain this update speed. It’s great to be able to make a new hero in more than a month. "
Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Yes, we all know the situation of Tenda Games. "
Now Tenda Game Department is divided into two groups. Hu Xianbin leads a group of people to be responsible for the research and development of "Struggle", while Min Jingchao and Zhang Nan lead another group of people to be responsible for GOG version updates. New hero design and skin design, etc.
Obviously, the number of people is quite different from that of Zhidou Company, and the speed of developing new heroes will naturally be very different.
If ioi's hero update speed is much faster than that of GOG, it means that ioi can provide players with more game content, which is a huge advantage and can even out the early popularity gap.
Lin. After thinking about it for a long time, Wan said, "Okay, let's start from this point. ”
“Since President Pei wants our two projects to encourage each other and make progress together, there is no reason to talk about favoritism. Let’s all rely on our own abilities! "
......
At the same time, Pei Qian was in the office, checking the data of Moyu Takeout.
And Rui Yuchen, the person in charge of Moyu Takeout He stood aside with a very worried expression.
Moyu Takeaway has been a subsidiary industry of Moyu Internet Cafe since its establishment.The person in charge of Ka changed from Ma Yang to Zhang Yuan, and then from Zhang Yuan to Xiao Peng. He has always been Rui Yuchen's direct superior.
When Moyu Takeout was first founded, Lin Canrong was originally in charge. However, due to Lin Canrong’s outstanding loss performance while in charge of Moyu Takeout, Pei Qian was transferred to take charge of Mingyun Private Kitchen.
So Rui Yuchen filled this gap and has been responsible for taking out food until now.
Pei Qian has never met Rui Yuchen before, because Moyu’s takeout business is affiliated with Moyu Internet Cafe. If you have any needs, you can just ask the person in charge of Moyu Internet Cafe directly.
The reason why Pei Qian called Rui Yuchen here today is of course...
To promote him.
It’s just that Rui Yuchen doesn’t know Mr. Pei’s true intentions yet, and is worried that Mr. Pei will attack him this time, so he is very nervous and uneasy.
So far, Moyu Internet Cafe has been losing money and making no profit. On the other hand, other related businesses: Moyu Internet Cafe, ROF installation, Mingyun Private Kitchen... have all turned losses into profits, and have even opened branches. Arrive at Lincheng.
The only one that can compete with Moyu Takeaway, which continues to lose money, is Headwind Logistics.
The person in charge of Reversible Wind Logistics is Mr. Pei’s loyal supporter. Lu Mingliang made great contributions to Mr. Pei in the game department. How can it be compared?
Rui Yuchen felt that if Mr. Pei wanted to find a loss-making department to operate, then Moyu Takeout seemed to be the most reasonable choice.
Thinking of this, he became even more nervous.
Pei Qian was very satisfied after reading the various data of Moyu Takeout.
It is not difficult for a business to lose money for a while, but what is difficult is to keep losing money, and no matter how other businesses turn losses into profits, or whether the person in charge is changed or not, they will still lose money!
Lin Canrong made Mingyun Private Kitchen popular, which is enough to prove his ability.
But even Lin Canrong could not turn Moyu Takeout from a loss into a profit.
This is enough to show that Moyu Takeaway is a good department that can withstand the test!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian gently knocked on the table: "Do you think... Moyu takeout is still not profitable? What is the main reason?"
Rui Yuchen's heart "thumped" For a moment, the secret passage is not good.
Mr. Pei is really going to call an army to hold him accountable!
Rui Yuchen has the answer in his mind. He feels that taking out fish food cannot be profitable, mainly because of the problem of this operating model.
But I can’t say it!
The operating model was set by President Pei. If there is a problem with this model, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to President Pei?
Rui Yuchen pretended to think hard, and finally shook her head: "I don't know."
Although this answer will make him appear incompetent, at least it is much better than slapping Mr. Pei in the face. Well...
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by this young man's uprightness.
But he quickly smiled because he was very satisfied with the answer!
Looks like he has a malleable talent.
In this case, we can let him take on more responsibilities!
