Friday, July 8th.
Pei Qian had breakfast at Moyu Internet Cafe as usual, and then drank coffee while improving his mind map.
"Hey, Mr. Pei, isn't today the day for the opening of the Terror Hotel? Aren't you going to take charge there?" Xiao Peng couldn't help but wonder when he saw Mr. Pei being so calm and relaxed.
Pei Qian drank coffee and smiled: "I won't go."
What's so good about the opening?
You can tell with your feet that there will be a lot of people!
With the blessing of Tenda’s reputation in Jingzhou, the publicity of Shared Phone Booth, Xueba Qilai and other investors, the traffic of Tenda Games and Dianping... If there is no one at the Panic Hostel on the first day of its opening, Asking about it would be too beautiful for Pei Qian, too beautiful to be true.
So Pei Qian felt that don’t think about that good thing at all, just lie flat in the first few days after opening.
The key is to see how it develops after the first wave of enthusiasm passes.
Pei Qian has not given up on the Panic Hostel project yet, mainly because this project still has the last line of defense, which is the original line of defense: the charging model.
Of course, the Frightening Hostel originally had three or four lines of defense, such as its remote location and inconvenient transportation, lack of surrounding facilities, insufficient publicity, etc. However, these lines of defense were already broken before the Frightening Hostel opened. , this is a very sad thing.
But the last line of defense can still be counted on.
Pei Qian’s pricing strategy is: the first multi-person project charges extremely low prices; the second project is more scary and the charges are moderate, but if you want to pass the level, you must memorize the specific processes and procedures of each project. Operation; the third project charges higher fees, and you must pass the second project to be eligible to challenge.
In this way, most people will be attracted by the first project and stop at the second project. The tourists who actually enter the third project for consumption will be very few, and most of them will not. Will go back for a second time.
The construction and maintenance of the Frightened Hotel require high costs. The first project has limited space, and even if it is operated at full capacity throughout the day, it will not make much money. If tourists do not enter the second and third hotels on a large scale, Three items and crazy spending in the golden maze, then the Panic Hotel will not be able to make a profit.
Anyway, the first wave of tourists is the most dangerous. Among them will be haunted house enthusiasts from the entire Handong Province, old customers of Tenda, and even Tenda game enthusiasts from all over the country.
But they definitely can’t play in the haunted house every day. After this wave of craze passes, the Panic Hotel will be safe.
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to stay away from the limelight for the next two days. There would definitely be no good results from going to the Panic Hostel now.
However, looking at Mr. Pei who seemed to have no concern at all, just drinking coffee silently and typing on the computer, Xiao Peng inexplicably felt like "Mr. Pei is strategizing."
Such a key project that requires huge investments and takes a long time to startOn the first day of his career, Mr. Pei was able to hold back?
What kind of perseverance does this require!
Even more, this is not only something that can be accomplished with perseverance, but also requires absolute confidence in the Fright Hostel project and always keeping a cool head.
Xiao Peng couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Pei is an extraordinary person!
Inspired by Mr. Pei, Xiao Peng quietly found a quiet corner and began to seriously think about the next work of Moyu Internet Cafe, including how to arrange the specific locations for a large number of new stores.
Pei Qian was sorting out his mind map when his phone rang.
"Ding."
Pei Qian frowned and thought, could it be that bad news has come from the Panic Hotel?
Can’t?
Picking up the phone and looking at it, Pei Qian's expression was first happy, then shocked, and he almost blurted out "fuck".
The good news is that Ruan’s skin income has arrived!
The hero Ruan was launched at the beginning of last month, which is exactly one month.
Of course, it is definitely not issued separately.
It seems to be exactly one month. It is just a coincidence that such a sum of money must be carefully checked before being distributed, so it has been postponed from the beginning of this month to this Friday, which is the 8th.
However, the efficiency is already quite high, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The reason why Pei Qian almost shouted "fuck" is that he didn't expect the money to be so small?
The payment information clearly stated that the total amount was 41,366.4, with some odd and round amounts.
Pei Qian didn't see it clearly at first, and after carefully counting the digits, he confirmed that it was really five digits, 40,000 yuan.
"Is it possible that someone is embezzling my money?"
Pei Qian could have thought this way. It's not that he doesn't trust his financial department. The key is that it is much less than he imagined. Bar?
Hurrying to open the background data and check it roughly, Pei Qian found out that it seems that the calculation was really correct...
Currently, the number of people online at the same time in GOG has reached 170 More than 10,000, accounting for more than 60% of the domestic MOBA game market. This data is not much different from the LOL national server data in the first half of 2012 in Pei Qian’s memory.
In other words, there are already a lot of players.
LOL has become so popular in the future mainly because of its several years of development, which has expanded the player boundaries of MOBA games and attracted many players of other types of games.
At present, GOG, which has been born for less than a year, obviously cannot achieve that kind of popularity. The number of people online at the same time in the national server is already a miraculous figure. There is still a lot of growth in the future. room for development.
Of course, these more than one million are online at the same time, and the real number of players is much higher than this number. Some people who only come online every two or three days will buy skins.
More than 400,000 players have purchased Ruan’s skin. This is Ruan’s first skin, an epic skin costing 18 yuan.
This skin was only put on sale two weeks after Ruan went online, because the GOG project team is currently doing its best to develop new heroes. The production priority of new heroes is much higher than that of skins, so after two weeks It's not easy to squeeze out this skin.
The price of the skin is set by Pei Qian himself. The brave skin is given for free, the epic skin is 18 yuan, and the legendary skin is 45 yuan.
If it is 400,000*18*5%, it is also 360,000. But the problem is that there is a rule when collecting heroes in the GOG creative community: after the new hero that players participate in the design goes online, the first The first skin is 10% off, the second skin is 50% off, and the third skin is 20% off. All players can enjoy it for a limited time of one month.
If you are an active user of the GOG community, there are other discounts.
In other words, players actually bought this skin for 1.8 yuan.
It’s no wonder so many people bought it proportionally. Many players here may not know how to play the hero Ruan at all, and even ban him before every ranked game, but because of this skin The price is really cheap, so many people still buy it for collection reasons.
The main source of revenue for GOG is still the skins sold by heroes not designed by players. Those skins do not participate in the discounts of the GOG creative community and will not be shared with players.
Pei Qian had mixed feelings in his heart.
It stands to reason that 40,000 yuan is quite a lot for my current income level, but I still feel a touch of sadness...
This is the reason for moving Does it feel like a stone is hitting you in the foot...
In order to reduce the income of the game as much as possible, Pei Qian set all the skins at cabbage prices. Min Jingchao obviously also implemented this idea, in order to allow players to actively participate GOG’s game design offers unprecedented discounts.
As a result, Pei Qian found that the first month’s share was only 40,000 yuan. He had to say that this was all the result of his previous planting...
Pei Qian took a sip of coffee. , to calm down.
“Calm down and stay optimistic.”
“Forty thousand yuan is actually a lot, and there will be more and more in the future.”
“Actually, 40,000 yuan is a lot. If you think about it carefully, I won’t lose anything.”
“GOG is burning money now to expand its market share, which will help me use the loss to collect the wool of the system; in the future, if GOG is really popular, then every one of Ruan’s products will be lost. The skin will bring me hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in income.”
“So, it’s good to use this money as pocket money in the short term. Anyway, this money will be paid every month. Yes."
Sure enough, from another perspective, Pei Qian felt much more comfortable.
"The first batch of tourists should have entered the Terror Hotel, right?"
Pei Qian looked at his watch: "I wonder what the scene is over there now."
……
At the same time.
The entrance to the Panic Hostel.
Qiao Liang got off the bus at the Frightening Hotel and looked at the bustling crowd, feeling like he was visiting an amusement park.
Well, that’s not right. The Panic Hotel was originally an amusement park, but it currently only has a haunted house project.
"Jingzhou! I, Qiao Laoshi, am back!"
When I set foot on the land of Jingzhou again, for some reason, I felt a familiar sense of intimacy, as if I hadn't seen him for a long time. Two old friends meet again.
Qiao Liang took out his mobile phone and clicked on his fan group. New messages popped up quickly.
"Brothers, meet at the door!"
"I'm on the next bus. It should be there soon. Please wait for me."
"Qiao Where's the old wet man? Come over and lead the team! I'm under the tree next to the parking lot!" Qiao Liang quickly found his fans and successfully met.
"There seem to be fewer people than expected. I remember when I went to Disneyland and Universal before, there were so many people that I had to queue to death," said a fan.
Qiao Liang smiled: "What are you thinking about? How can it reach the level of Disney and Universal? Disney needs to invest billions of dollars in an amusement park. How much has it been invested? You can just Just think of it as a bigger haunted house."
"However, I believe that Mr. Pei will definitely surprise us as always!"
For some reason, Qiao Liang felt like it. I always have a deep trust in Mr. Pei.
The news of the opening of the Panic Hostel has long spread among Qiao Liang’s fan base. As an old friend of Mr. Pei, he has no reason not to come and have a look, even though he is more afraid of haunted houses.
If you are just a consumer of Tengda, then of course you can come or not, but since you are Mr. Pei’s friend and Mr. Pei’s haunted house has opened, how can you not come to support it?
Qiao Liang cherishes his friendship with Mr. Pei very much.
As for what to do if the haunted house is too scary... Anyway, after arriving at the scene, you will have a look at the situation. If possible, just act decisively.
Soon, Qiao Liang’s fan team gathered.
These people come from all over the country. They usually chat and brag online and have no chance to meet. They just took this opportunity to meet.
But Qiao Liang soon discovered a sad fact: he seemed to have no female fans.
A group of old men walked together into the Panic Hotel.
“Don’t tell me, the scale of the project is not small, and the supporting facilities are well done. Restaurants, hotels, shops, and parking lots are all available. It will cost you two to add them together. Three hundred million?"
"It is said that it was not Mr. Pei who contributed the money alone, but many local investors in Jingzhou, each of whom was responsible for a part. I am afraid that Tengda alone would have to bear such a large expense. Not easy. ”
"Well, after all, Mr. Pei also has to consider risk sharing."
"Huh? Isn't there a ticket check at the door? We have already walked in."
"It seems that each event sells and checks tickets separately. There is a combined ticket, but I didn't buy it because the combined ticket sold for 200, which doesn't seem to be much cheaper..."
"Go in and see which event is fun, and then decide what to do. Buy a ticket."
