Wednesday, April 27th.
Shangyang Games.
Pei Qian made a special trip to Yangyang Games today, intending to learn a little about the promotion of the ioi national server.
Ever since he handed over the task of winning the battle to Lin Wan at the beginning of the month, Pei Qian has been very relieved and has not interfered.
After all, ioi's current momentum abroad can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. If it continues to develop according to this script, it is only a matter of time before ioi's national server and the international server successfully join forces.
And Pei Qian was also secretly helping Lin Wan.
After learning about ioi’s crazy update plan, Hu Xianbin was very anxious to find Mr. Pei, hoping to increase manpower, but was declined.
"With the abilities of Yangyang Games and Lin Wan, just helping them a little bit should be enough, right?"
Pei Qian knows very well that "the only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is fast." For this reason, in my memory, Riot Games relied on its crazy update speed to rapidly expand its market share, and it also maintained quality while updating at a high speed, which is why it achieved such great success.
Now Zhidou Company has also embarked on this path, and the effect will definitely be immediate.
Pei Qian cannot be said to be happy. After all, whoever is more popular, GOG or ioi, Pei Qian has to make money. He just feels that the world is normal and developing in the direction he expected, and he is a little happy.
As soon as Pei Qian arrived at the office area, he was discovered by the employees.
"Mr. Pei!"
"Mr. Pei, why are you here?"
"Please sit down."
" Sorry, we are busy launching new heroes.”
The office area looked very busy. Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin and others were all busy with their own things. They just said hello to Pei Qian and continued. Staring at the computer screen and typing on the keyboard.
Pei Qian didn't take it seriously: "You are busy with your business, I just came to take a look."
Lin Wan came out of her office with a document in her hand , seemed furious: "Rewrite the update announcement. I have circled a few places that are not smooth. Also, I must emphasize that this is the first time that the national server and the world server have been updated simultaneously. We are no longer playing like the world server." You have already served the old version, this is very important!"
"...Mr. Pei, why are you here?"
Lin Wan's expression was a little surprised. After all, Mr. Pei was not here. I don’t come to Yangyang Games often.
Although Mr. Pei often gives guidance on Yangyang games, it is often when he encounters some huge difficulties that he asks for advice. Mr. Pei will only use a few words to give some guidance. Whether he can understand it depends on Enlighten yourself.
It is rare to see someone in person like today.
Seeing Lin Wan's current appearance, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile, very satisfied.
Well, from the newcomer who knew nothing at the beginning, he has quickly grown into a department head and excellent designer who can take charge of his own role!
Seeing that Lin Wan is so serious about promoting the ioi national server, when ioi successfully explodes in popularity around the world, Lin Wan should have proven his ability and can return to Shenhua to inherit the family fortune. Bar?
Although there are serious deviations in the process from the script I expected, the result is the same.
In this way, Lin Wan should be one of the rare employees who works hard without causing Mr. Pei discomfort.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just here to take a look around and learn about the situation of the ioi national server." Pei Qian said.
Lin Wan nodded: "Well, Mr. Pei, please come to the reception room and I will briefly report."
Pei Qian: "Busy your work first."
p>Lin Wan smiled: "It doesn't matter, the work has been arranged. Besides, the report will only take a few minutes, it will be very quick."
Pei Qian nodded and told Lin Came to the reception room late at night.
"Mr. Pei, soon after receiving the task of operating ioi's national server, we found ioi's trump card compared to GOG, which is the update speed. Therefore, our operational activities are mainly to cooperate with Zhitou Company , integrating the promotion of new heroes with game promotion.”
“Take this promotion as an example. The new hero given by Zhidou Company is ‘Bloodthirsty Lone Shadow Shaleg’. A dual-form werewolf."
"Zhitou Company provided a promotional animation for this hero. We have updated it to the Chinese server login client, and also bought some videos and website advertisements for promotion. This new hero."
"The new hero's promotion campaign will be held every two weeks, which can ensure that the popularity of ioi can always be maintained at a high level."
" At the same time, we argued with Zhidou Company and asked them to seriously consider the situation of the national server and update it simultaneously after the national server review was completed, so that the same version of the national server and foreign server could be achieved. In this way, a major shortcoming of ioi was eliminated. Made it up!”
“If nothing else happens, GOG won’t be able to make new heroes in the past month. In contrast, many people will definitely quit due to update issues. Go to ioi."
"Mr. Pei, you said we should go all out, we will never show any mercy to GOG!"
After listening to the report, Pei Qian couldn't help but nod.
Yes, reliable!
The people at Yangyang Games, especially Lin Wan, used the same energy to backstab GOG as I did, and the effect was truly outstanding!
Before, Pei Qian did not have a deep understanding of the situation of the ioi national server. After listening to Lin Wan’s report, he realized that Yangyang Games had done a lot of work in less than a month!
Not only did it complete the most basic tasks such as server opening, maintenance, and version updates, it also facilitated the synchronization of versions between the national server and the world server, and also seized on the weakness of GOG’s slow update of new heroes and beat them hard. .
Perfect!
Pei Qian couldn't help but nodded slightly and said in approval: "You did a good job, but you must not take it lightly. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, understand?"
It's not that he was thinking of GOG. The way to make a comeback is simply based on experience, and I don’t think things will be that simple.
After all, he has too much experience fighting with this group of people. He knows that what these people are best at is counterattack, and when Mr. Pei thinks it is "stable", he suddenly completely reverses the situation.
Lin Wan nodded: "Of course! Mr. Pei, I think the battle with GOG will be a long-term process. So far, I only have a 50% chance of winning."
Pei Qian was a little speechless: "50% chance of winning?"
Although I am being cautious, it is not so low, right?
70% should still be there.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment: "What, Mr. Pei, am I overestimating it? Do you think you don't even have a 50% chance of winning?"
"Uh..." Pei Qian was speechless, and the two of them were not thinking on the same channel.
How come there is no tacit understanding between my employees and myself?
Pei Qian was about to explain, but at this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the reception room.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment and looked at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian nodded and indicated that she could open the door.
Lin Wan quickly came to the door and found that the person knocking on the door was Ye Zhizhou.
"Sorry, GOG has updated its official website!" Ye Zhizhou's face was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Pei Qian couldn't help but have a question mark floating on his head.
?
Has the official website been updated?
It’s not a game version update, it’s just an official website update. What’s all the fuss about?
You can’t just update the official website to overwhelm the popularity of new heroes on ioi, right?
Can’t?
Lin Wan and Pei Qian came to the office area with doubts and checked on Ye Zhizhou's computer.
On GOG’s official website, in a prominent position, there is the event title written in huge artistic characters: “GOG Creative Community is online, every player is a hero designer!”
There is also a line of small text below: "If the idea is adopted, you can get 5% of all skin profits of the hero as an unlimited cash reward!"
There are many rules for the event, including the opening of several special sections on the official website, players Contributions can be submitted, participants can like the submissions, official signs are turned over regularly, etc.
Ye Zhizhou obviously just discovered this, with a serious look on his face: "Min Jingchao really has a way! I didn't expect that he would use this method to take advantage of players' creativity!"
"In this way, they can save a lot of creative work and can directly filter according to the players' preferences. The design team will only be responsible for the production part, which can save a lot of time!"
“Not only that, this event seems to haveIt has caused an uproar among the GOG player community because the rewards are so generous! "
"As long as you participate in this forum, no matter whether the idea provided is adopted or not, or even just a spectator who enthusiastically likes it, you can get rewards! ”
“Although GOG has not launched any new heroes yet, players’ attention has been completely stolen by this event! "
"Our new hero 'Bloodthirsty Lone Shadow' is online. I'm afraid it will be difficult to grab the players' attention under such circumstances..."
Lin Wan's expression also became serious.
"That's it...what a wonderful counterattack. ”
“Sure enough, the most difficult opponents are our own people. ”
“In this way, players’ wisdom can be fully mobilized to speed up the production of new heroes; part of the profits can also be used to tie players to GOG’s chariot to prevent them from rebelling; most importantly, Unfortunately, this trick can only be used if you have a large player base, and GOG had a numerical advantage in the previous competition. ”
“We didn’t even launch any new heroes. We simply made an event page and posted an announcement on the mobile client, PC client and official website, which immediately completely aroused the players’ emotions. It's mobilized..."
Ye Zhizhou was a little dissatisfied: "Then we can also..."
Lin Wan shook her head: "We can't. ”
“We have no way to intervene in the research and development of Zhidou Company. Even if we solicit opinions, Zhidou Company will probably not adopt them.” "
"What's more, we are just operating, and the pricing strategy must be roughly consistent with the international server. It is difficult to give players such generous rewards, and naturally we cannot fully mobilize the enthusiasm of players. "
"I originally thought I had found GOG's Achilles' heel, but I didn't expect that the other party had found ioi's Achilles' heel..."
"I heard before that Li Yada abdicated in favor of a wise man, and Hu Xianbin I was busy working on a new game, so I thought Min Jingchao wouldn't be that difficult. ”
“It seems that we are underestimating the enemy. Everyone at Tenda Games can play their own role. Any newcomer who can be promoted to the main designer should not be underestimated...”
Lin Wan looked at Pei Qian and sighed: "Mr. Pei, no wonder you think my current chance of winning is less than 50%. ”
“Indeed, once GOG makes this move, our chances of winning are probably only 40%. ”
“Sure enough, when masters compete with each other, they make one wrong step and one wrong step at a time. They are a step too slow at the beginning. It is really difficult to catch up from behind.” "
Except for blinking lightly, Mr. Pei had no extra expression at all.
Lin Wan couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "Mr. Pei, have you thought of it a long time ago? It is possible that they will adopt such a strategy, so they have been mentally prepared for it? "
Pei Qian: "..."
After a few seconds of reaction, a question mark floated over Pei Qian's head.
? ? ?
What the hell is this!
Pei Qian was indeed expressionless, but not because he was calm, but because the incident happened so suddenly that his brain could not keep up in time.
So...
I didn’t let Tenda Games recruit people, so they came up with a way to find players to crowdfund and use hero creativity?
Shameless!
As a designer, I don’t use my brain to design heroes, I only think about the creativity of prostitute players. Is there any king’s law? Is there any law?
People’s companies are serious about designing heroes, so you’d better just copy the work!
How shameless!
Pei Qian almost trembled with anger. It felt like he was preparing to run a marathon. He had finished warming up, but he saw the competitor next to him suddenly brought up a motorcycle and turned the accelerator. Gone.
Although it gives players a lot of profits, these money are only divided into shares, which means it does not help the losses!
Wait, give players a lot of benefits?
Pei Qian suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked some very crucial information.
“Wait a minute, you just said, what is the highest reward after an idea is adopted?”
