The progress of these companies is different, some are fast, some are slow, some are making products in a down-to-earth manner, and some are racking their brains every day to think about how to market.
If the personality of the founder is different, the company's behavior will naturally be different.
Judging from the current situation, Meng Chang is indeed somewhat capable. Being able to open the first store in such a short period of time, and doing it well in all aspects, and creating a lot of popularity on the Internet, is enough to explain the problem.
Among all the projects currently invested by Yuanmeng Venture Capital, Cold Face Girl is considered to be the best performer, and it is also the fastest to burn money.
Soon, all the projects were reported. Two companies found a small problem. After Jing Haibing pointed it out, the financial records of those two companies were immediately recorded and prepared for correction after the meeting.
The meeting ended and the video signals were cut off.
He Desheng said: "Mr. Pei, should we continue to strictly follow the previous policy? If we continue to invest after burning all the money, then...according to the cold-faced girl's current spending method, next month Maybe I have to invest more money."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, keep the original plan as it is, and invest when you need to! Follow me next time you invest money in the cold noodle girl. Just say hello."
He Desheng nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

...
Friday, November 25th.
After finishing lunch, Pei Qian came to the office and called up the results of this Tenda Spiritual Fit Test on the background.
Tengda Spiritual Fit Test has a total of four opportunities. New employees will enter a trial period after joining, which lasts for one month, and there will be a test opportunity every Friday.
If you pass the test in any of the four times, you will be officially hired. If you fail to pass all of them, you will have to leave.
However, because the time required for these new employees to complete the resignation procedures in their original units is different, the time to join Tengda is also sequential.
In this Tenda Spiritual Fit Test, about 1/4 of them were people who failed the last test, and the rest were all taking the test for the first time.
Pei Qian didn’t have high hopes for this. After all, it had only been a week since the last test. What changes could have happened?
Even if what he said at the leaders’ dinner had some subtle impact on the atmosphere of the entire company, it probably wouldn’t have such an immediate impact.
Pei Qian opened the background to check.
"Huh?"
"The passing rate seems to have dropped, right?"
"It has indeed dropped!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy, this was such an unexpected surprise!
The backend of the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test will display the pass rate of each test, as well as the pass rates of the first test, the second test, and the third test.
In other words, thisDetailed data such as the approximate proportion of new employees in the first phase who passed the test twice will also be compiled.
It seems that a downward trend can be clearly seen.
"Is it possible that such a good thing is really possible?"
"No, we can't get carried away."
"Although the passing rate of this period is indeed higher Decline, but after all, people take different exams every time, and the passing rate will naturally fluctuate."
"This kind of thing still needs long-term observation, and we cannot jump to conclusions."
< p>Pei Qian silently read the data again, preparing to continue observing for a while. After all new employees have completed the Tengda Spiritual Test this time, take a look at the final pass rate before making a decision.After turning off the background of the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test, Pei Qian casually browsed the recent news on the Internet.
Suddenly, he saw such a keyword at the bottom of the hot search: "ioi new version".
"Huh? Does it mean that the new version of ioi has been leaked?" Pei Qian immediately clicked to check.
Some time ago, Yangyang Games had already discovered some changes to the ioi national server strategy. After all, Yangyang Games must have more channels to get news in the industry than ordinary netizens.
But since Yangyang Games can find out this information, it definitely means that these changes are already in the process of being made. It is basically a done deal. Then if this news leaks out and is exposed on the Internet, it will also Not surprising.
The news from Yangyang Games will indeed be better, but it will only be a week or two faster at most.
Pei Qian searched for information about the new version of ioi on the Internet and found that the news came out because ioi updated these changes on the test server.
As soon as the test server was updated and changed, it immediately aroused huge controversy among the player community, and was also reproduced by major gaming media.
Although ioi is relatively unknown in China, its market share around the world is still considerable. There is no reason why the game media would let such a big news go.
The changes in the ioi test server update this time are mainly in terms of gameplay, including adjustments to the denial mechanism, changes in hero bounties, rich map resources, etc., which are slightly different from those changes mentioned by Lin Wan before. Differences, but similar.
However, after the update, old players did not buy it. The official social platform account of Zhidou Company was instantly flooded with objections from old players.
Before Zhidou Company had time to explain, one wave of upheaval came after another.
Some gaming media obtained some internal information from unknown sources and disclosed Zhitou Company’s operational strategic adjustments for the ioi national server.
Change the national server to a low-price area, and lower the prices of heroes and skins to about 1/2 to 1/3 of the international server;
The national server ioi will cooperate with the domestic Longyu Group, and Longyu Group will be responsible for the localized operation of the ioi national server;
In addition, it is said that Zhidou Company has finally decided to start preparing for the first World Finals , and Chretien, the person in charge of the ioi national server, and the senior executives of Longyu Group are in contact with various domestic clubs that still retain ioi branches.
By the time Pei Qian noticed it, the news had already spread in the ioi player circle.
"It came out so quickly. The confidentiality work was not done very well."
"No, it may also be exposed on the initiative to test the players' reaction."
“First let out some rumors, without any real impact. If the players’ reaction is not intense, then you can stand up and admit it; if the players’ reaction is intense, then change to a more conservative plan based on public opinion.”
Pei Qian originally thought that the news would not break out for at least another week, but he did not expect that it would spread so quickly.
Longyu Group is one of the top gaming companies in the country in terms of size, and the public relations department is not just a freeloader. When the news first broke, if you wanted to, you could definitely suppress it.
But instead of being suppressed, the news spread quickly.
Pei Qian doesn’t believe it if no one is behind this.
The key is that the only domestic competitor of ioi is Tengda. Pei Qian knows very well that it was not Tengda who did it, so it can only be done by Zhidou Company itself.
If you think about it carefully, this is not a particularly difficult operation to understand.
Zhitou Company has now decided to make this change mainly to attract more new players to join, but in this way, it will inevitably change the gaming habits of old players.
After doing this operation, you will definitely be scolded. The only question is how badly you will be scolded.
If while being scolded, it can really create popularity and attract more new players to join the game, then the scolding will be worth it.
So, Zhidou Company will release some unconfirmed news first, and let these game media forward it to see how public opinion reacts.
If the response from public opinion is not too intense, then we can continue to implement it; if the response is particularly intense, then the part that everyone is strongly resisting can be temporarily shelved and only part of it can be implemented.
To put it bluntly, through this kind of operation, try to leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, it would be too much to lose face if you just update it without hesitation, and then change it back in despair amidst a lot of scolding.
Pei Qian certainly welcomed this change with both hands.
An ioi that resists fiercely and struggles hard is a good ioi. Otherwise, if GOG's market share continues to expand like this, wouldn't it become increasingly difficult to lose money in the future?
It’s just that the players’ reactions are different.
Of course, online public opinionIt was not one-sided, there were many players who supported this change, and the arguments between the two sides were very fierce.
"Don't change the gameplay randomly. Is the designer out of his mind? I know you are jealous of GOG, but if you change it to this, wouldn't it be better if I just go play GOG?"
"Oppose all changes except for rich map resources! The game will definitely change after the changes!"
"You guys are really difficult to serve. You were the ones who said before that the game is not exciting enough and there are not enough ways to play it. , now the game is about to change the gameplay, and you are the ones who are jumping out to oppose it. I think this change is very good, and it doesn’t have to be so tiring to play. If you really want to spray it, you have to wait until the effects of the test server are released, right?”
"Hey, the ioi in the Chinese server has already gone cold. A die-hard old player like me has given up hope that it will become popular. Unexpectedly, it became a hot search just because I saw it. It was changed to a low-price area. It’s really cheap for new players, but what about us old players who have spent a lot of money before?”
“Fuck, the skin we just bought yesterday is going to lose a lot of value. The worst is only 1/3? Wait for the party to start laughing? Are you saying that you won’t be allowed to lower the price? Are you really treating the old players like they’re not human?”
“It’s really hard to serve. , as if you old players will not benefit from the price reduction? It will be cheaper for you to buy skins in the future."
"It is said that the external network has exploded, and many people are criticizing the Zhidou company for being unfair. Kneeling and licking the players of the national server. "
"I feel unbalanced."
"Not entirely. Mainly, GOG is cheap both at home and abroad. If there is no GOG, my fingers will be broken. This operation of the company may not be criticized by too many people, but this comparison immediately creates a problem..."
"Zhidou Company has finally figured it out, let's start the global finals as soon as possible! It’s not like Yake Group has no money. This competition has been delayed. GOG’s Global Invitational Tournament has been held for more than two months, and the GPL is about to start! Zhidou Company is really too slow!”
"Are there any clubs playing ioi in China? I doubt it..."
"Yes, there are some. It is said that the ioi branches of several old clubs are still there. I heard that Long Yu The group will pay a sum of money to support these people and support the situation.”
“I think these actions are a good thing. It is obvious that ioi cannot beat GOG. If we don’t make changes, we will die slowly. It’s better to give it a try.”
“If you can, unify the national server and the world server, make all heroes free, and have skins priced lower than GOG, and then spend money on leagues, promotions, and even games. No one will scold Dayak Group for being so rich and spending money on promotion, and now they want to take advantage of players. What the hell are you trying to do if you want players to support you?"
"Yes, if you want to expand your market share, you have to sell your own blood. What's the point of sucking blood from old players?What's going on? ”
Players with different opinions are quarreling online.
