December 2nd, Friday.
In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while checking the weekly work reports submitted to him by various departments.
I don’t know why, but it feels like a memorial.
Now Pei Qian somewhat understands why those foolish emperors in ancient times did not like to go to court or approve memorials, because this is indeed a very troublesome matter. How can it be fun to be a shopkeeper who eats, drinks and has fun every day!
Tengda currently has a lot of industries. If the head of each department comes to report on the work, it will be a bit overwhelming, and Pei Qian doesn’t want to do that. After all, he needs freedom.
Therefore, Pei Qian currently supervises the work of various departments of Tenda mainly in two ways:
The first is that each department regularly submits weekly work reports to summarize the work of this week. The situation was condensed into a few dozen words to give a high-level summary, so that Pei Qian could roughly know what these departments were planning recently and take precautions in advance.
The second is to report to the management staff at the biweekly meetings. These reports will be slightly more detailed and can also be mutually verified with the weekly work reports of each department to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Pei Qian flipped through the weekly reports sent by various departments and stopped at the weekly report from Yangyang Games.
"Hey, were the new DLCs for the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" officially launched yesterday?"
"That's a good thing."< /p>
"...I won't be the last one to know the news, right?"
In addition to going to class in the past two days, Pei Qian also spent a lot of time reviewing unexpectedly.
Because it’s exam week next month, junior year courses are relatively more difficult than freshmen and sophomores, and there are more exam subjects.
Pei Qian felt ashamed that he had always failed Ma Yang in previous exams.
Can we avenge our shame this time?
You know, Ma Yang is very busy now. He has to do live broadcasts to "bring goods" and spread money on Weibo. Moreover, he has become a celebrity in the school and even walks on the road. There is a possibility of being recognized. Many students will respectfully call Mr. Ma when they see this long face.
That’s it, Lao Ma still has to take time to review carefully and prepare for the exam.
As for Pei Qian, although everyone at Tenda Group thinks that Mr. Pei is ten times busier than Mr. Ma, Pei Qian knows in his heart that his real working time may only be two hours a day. .
That is, the month before settlement is really busy.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that it would really make no sense if he still failed the exam under such circumstances.
What's more, Pei Qian also borrowed the notes of several girls in the class who studied well this time, so he was well prepared.
Having never taken the Lao Ma test before, Pei Qian seriously reflected on it and felt that it was mainly because his review posture was wrong.
Borrowing Ma Yang's notes to review, the upper limit is only one point compared to his. How can it be exceeded?
Assuming that the upper limit of Ma Yang’s notes is 70 points, then no matter how much he reviews, it is impossible to break through 70 points!
So this time Pei Qian borrowed other people's notes in a very stupid way, just thinking that he could overtake in corners and beat Ma Yang once in performance.
Otherwise, I would fail the bastard Lao Ma every time I take the exam. What a shame! It seems that Pei Qian himself can't even understand how to fool around.
Pei Qian, who has been concentrating on reviewing these two days, did not pay attention to the launch of the DLC of these two old games, so he only realized it later and waited for the DLC to be launched the next day to see the work of Yangyang Games. Only the weekly newspaper found out.
“Let me see the sales...”
“These two crap games have been around for so long. Everyone is tired of playing them. No one is really still buying them. DLC? No, right?"
"Fuck! What's going on?"
Pei Qian looked at the background and became uneasy.
The two DLCs launched yesterday, the "Lonely Desert Highway" DLC sales have reached 250,000 copies, and the "Game Maker" DLC sales have also reached 130,000 copies!
According to a rough estimate of the pricing of 5 yuan and 18 yuan, after deducting the share, tax deduction, etc., the net income that these two DLCs bring to Tenda Games is more than 2 million yuan a day!
And this is just one day’s income.
In the next week or even a month, these DLCs will continue to generate revenue. As their influence spreads in the next few days, sales may even show signs of increasing!
Pei Qian was at a loss.
What the hell is going on!
He really doesn’t understand the current situation. How long have these two games been released? It should have been gathering dust in players' game libraries long ago, right?
What does it mean that you keep clinging to these two crappy games and not letting go? You guys keep buying DLC when this game comes out, you’re sick!
Pei Qian decided to make DLC for these old games with two intentions:
The first one is to disperse the manpower of Yangyang Games and let Wang Xiaobin, who is not good at making gameplay, Making these DLCs can slow down GOG's overseas operations a little and give ioi a chance to breathe;
The second one is that I feel that no one will play the old games anymore, so I secretly update the DLC. It cost money and had no sales, the worst of both worlds.
Looking at the results now, it is completely blind!
This sales volume is a bit outrageous!
Pei Qian’s biggest feeling now is confusion and confusion.
Why is it that Wang Xiaobin is not good at designing gameplay? Why is the old game that was promised no longer played?
What is going on now?
With confusion, Pei Qian went to browse the forum, and then saw a message from a certain player.A long and passionate review.
"Tengda Games: A perfect example of sincerity creating a win-win situation!" "
"Yesterday I heard that "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" had updated DLC. My first reaction was that I didn't believe it. These two games have been out of date for a long time, and The main game is already free, is it necessary to release DLC? Can it really make money?"
"I'm a little confused. Tenda has GOG and is still developing new large-scale games. Project, why bother taking time to develop DLC for these old games that have already completed their historical mission?”
“But I understand now that Tenda’s operations are full of routines!”
p>
“Everyone knows that the two games “Lonely Desert Highway” and “Game Maker” have been free for a long time, so most people have already gone to get them and are happy to add one, right?”< /p>
“Originally, I thought that this kind of free payment was a very common promotion strategy. After all, the life of the game is coming to an end and there are not many sales left. It is a good choice to give up that sales volume to expand the influence of the game.”< /p>
“But now I realize that it is a good option to have the base game for free and selling DLC! This is completely a trap!”
“It is precisely because the base game of the two games is free, It has greatly expanded the game's player base, so it can achieve such good sales when a new DLC is released!"
"And what's even more commendable is that on the basis of the original stand-alone gameplay, this DLC is new. The addition of online play activates the potential of these two games, allowing old players to find new fun! Moreover, this game also contains Easter eggs for Tenda's new games, which gives you even more reasons to buy them! "
"So I say that Tenda Games is a model of sincerity creating a win-win situation."
"If it were any other company, Old Games would have just let it fend for itself, and the players would be fine. We can only throw the games in the game library to eat dust.”
“But Tenda is different. They are willing to update old games every once in a while, which shows a strong sense of responsibility. , making players feel that Tenda will not give up any game; on the other hand, it uses interesting gameplay and easter eggs to connect all the old games together and become part of Tenda's game empire. The method of freeing first and then selling DLC has also gained good reputation. Sales volume and revenue.”
“To be honest, this kind of sincerity is not something difficult to achieve, but most companies are unwilling to do it because they think it is unprofitable. Going the other way shows what a unique company this is!”
“I won’t say any more, I’ll buy these two DLCs first!”
Pei Qian looked at this long comment and his expression fell into a dull state.
Is it free to sell more DLC?
Don’t mess with me, I don’t mean it at all!
If the system hadn’t stipulated that new products must be priced, believe it or not, I would have given all DLC free of charge.Cost?
Pei Qian originally thought that the worst case scenario was just to earn some reputation, but he didn’t expect that so many players were willing to pay for it!
In fact, the proportion of players currently paying for DLC to the total sales of the main game is not high, but because both main games are already free, there are too many people who have received and played them, so Selling a DLC now can activate new ways of playing the game, so so many people are willing to buy it!
"Without further delay, this money must be spent quickly."
"Go to Dream Realm Venture Capital?"
As soon as Pei Qian thought of it I feel uncomfortable when I make money again.
Although there are still nearly two months until settlement, these two DLCs will continue to make money.
What to do with this money, you still have to plan ahead and make plans in advance.
Pei Qian thought about it and decided that he still had to go to Dream Venture Capital.
It should be possible to roughly tell whether the first batch of companies invested in are profitable or not. Sell the profitable ones as soon as possible, and invest in the unprofitable ones. You should be able to spend all this windfall.
……
Dream Venture Capital, conference room.
He Desheng began to report the first round of investment to Mr. Pei.
"Mr. Pei, we have invested in a total of 11 companies so far, 2 companies have obvious signs of profitability, 1 company has an obvious profit trend, and 3 companies have good popularity, causing The remaining five companies have not received the attention of other investors, but there is still a lot of funds in the company's accounts, and there is no shortage of money for the time being."
"This is the detailed information of each company. Take a look."
Pei Qian reached out to take the information and found that it was full of complicated financial statements, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
He put the information aside: "I don't look at these things. Just follow my previous rules. If you have made a profit, sell it immediately; if it shows a profit trend, don't invest anymore. If the money is profitable, sell it; if it is not profitable, continue to observe; if the money is spent, continue to invest."
"The money earned after selling will be directly invested in the following companies in order. , the financial officers we sent can also be withdrawn and take charge of other companies.”
