Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 156: A surprise for Brother Qian

Views:

morning.

"Ah!"

In the office, Pei Qian, who was blowing the air conditioner, sneezed inexplicably.

"Strange, is the air conditioner too cold?"

Pei Qian wrapped a little blanket around him, turned off the TV series, and planned to take a nap on the boss chair.

There was a knock on the door, it was Lu Mingliang.

"Mr. Pei, I have a few things to report to you."

Pei Qian nodded: "Speak."

Lu Mingliang was moved when he saw Pei Qian wrapped in a blanket and looking like he was going to sleep.

President Pei looks unwell. He can go home and rest, but he still insists on working with us at work!

Sure enough, no matter how successful you are, you still have to keep the spirit of struggle!

Lu Mingliang hurried to report for fear of delaying President Pei's rest.

"The new version thing first."

"The development of the new version is going well at present. However, for some reason, the news of the limited number of new epic weapons in "Fortress at Sea" has spread, and players are currently protesting strongly."

"Mr. Pei, look, why don't we relax the number of weapons a little bit? For example... 5,000?"

Pei Qian shook his head decisively: "No."

Five thousand

What a joke!

How much is 5000×888, can you count it

Pei Qian said sternly: "Limited is limited. If it's like Chinese cabbage, what is it called limited sales?"

"Don't care what they say, 500 is 500, and I will lose if I sell one more."

Seeing that Mr. Pei's attitude was firm, Lu Mingliang had no choice but to nod: "Okay Mr. Pei."

"Secondly, the work of the horse group."

"He has spoken to me several times and strongly hopes to be involved in the development of the new version."

"I thought about it, the new version updates of "Ghost General" and "Game Producer" do have a lot of copywriting content that needs to be done by professionals like him."

"How about, let him try it first and practice his hands?"

Pei Qian didn't answer immediately.

Can't find any good reason to refuse.

But don't refuse, Pei Qian is very unwilling to let Ma Yiqun really do these copywriting.

Ma Yiqun's writing skills are excellent, and the several copywriting packages he did for Shangyang Games before are all very good. If this is the icing on the cake for "Ghost General" and "Game Producer", the consequences will be very serious!

But how to refuse

Ma Yiqun came to the company in March, and it has been two months now. It is a bit unreasonable to let him continue to study.

If you don't let a group of horses do the copywriting content of the game, you have to arrange something else for him.

Send it to Huang Sibo to shoot a short video? It doesn't seem to work, and his writing may also work in short videos.

Send it to Moyu Internet Cafe? This is good, but it's not justified, and there is no suitable reason.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian didn't think of a good solution, so he nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I should have learned the most during this time, let him be responsible for some basic work."

Pei Qian said it reluctantly.

Lu Mingliang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Pei. Then you can continue to rest, I'll go to work first."

Pei Qian leaned on the chair and wrapped the small blanket around him. He always felt a little restless and couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

"Strange, where did this sense of danger come from?"

"It won't be from the Shangyang game, right?"

Pei Qian quickly passed a few projects in his mind.

On Tenda's side, most of the new versions will earn money, but no matter how much you earn, it should be within the controllable range, and there is no serious problem;

Feihuang Studio said that there is no shadow of making a documentary;

Moyu Internet Cafe is a traditional advantageous project. The two new stores have just been renovated and are ready to open, while the flagship store has just been there more than a week ago, and no hidden dangers have been found.

After thinking about it, it is still the most risky game of Yangyang!

Pei Qian asked them to cut off all the payment points for the two games, leaving only one, which was indeed a risky move.

Cutting pay points will improve the game's reputation, that's for sure.

But reputation and revenue are two different things.

A game like "Blood War Song" has rubbish graphics and mediocre gameplay. The only advantage is that local tyrants can hack people inside after kryptonizing gold. In other words, the core advantage of this game is "selling hatred".

If you cut me off, if I have money, I will immediately recharge and cut it back. This is the core advantage of similar games.

It is precisely because this game is "selling hatred" and stimulating the negative emotions of players, that this game is still played no matter how bad the picture is and how bad the gameplay is.

If Pei Qian doesn't change anything, it is still possible for this game to return to its light, and the possibility is not small.

As long as Ye Zhizhou does a little bit of promotion and a return plan for old players, so that the game can return to its original profit level, then Pei Qian can't lose money.

Therefore, Pei Qian directly cut off the payment point of the game.

"Blood War Song" has no advantages over other games, whether it is on the screen or in the gameplay, and attracting new players to flow in, it is a nonsense.

Even if it becomes fair and reputation improves, so what

Just as long as it doesn't make money.

Of course, what if this game attracts a large number of new players due to its overwhelming reputation, and the player base is too large, which pushes the profit up

It can't be said that this possibility does not exist at all, only that it is very unlikely.

Pei Qian thought about it, and it seemed that there was only a risk in Shangyang Games, so he decided to focus on it.

First, I took a look at the official forum of "Blood War Song".

Indeed, it seems that the popularity has increased, word of mouth has reversed, and some old players have returned.

But Pei Qian didn't panic, and immediately sent a message to Ye Zhizhou: "Send me the background recharge data of "Blood War Song" for a look."

A few minutes later, Ye Zhizhou sent a screenshot.

This is the background recharge data of "Blood War Song". Pei Qian swept it casually and saw that the per capita payment rate has indeed increased, and it has increased a lot, but the total amount of recharge has dropped significantly, down by 70% to 80%!

According to the estimation of this situation, I am afraid that the monthly income of "Blood War Song" can reach 100,000 yuan.

Well, don't panic, it's still in the plan!

The most important thing for the game to survive is to make profits, so there are so many companies that push recharge consumption activities even if they are scolded by players, just to achieve the goal of profitability.

If the game keeps losing money, what's the use of word of mouth

The changed "Blood War Song" is indeed conscientious, but the key is to see who it is compared with!

Compared with krypton gold games, local tyrants are not cool here, and their income is thrown away a few streets;

Compared with other conscience games, such as "Fantasy World", "Blood War Song" has rubbish graphics and mediocre gameplay, and it is even more uncompetitive.

This is called neglecting both ends.

"Yes, keep it up."

After replying to Ye Zhizhou, Pei Qian felt relieved, wrapped the blanket and fell asleep beautifully.

In two days, the two new stores will open, and he will have to check it out in order to feel at ease.

Yangyang game.

Ye Zhizhou felt inexplicably warm in his heart when he looked at the message sent by President Pei.

Although Mr. Pei is busy with daily affairs and busy affairs, he still pays attention to Shangyang Games!

Although our game revenue has plummeted, this is obviously within President Pei's plan, so President Pei let us continue!

This shows that we are heading in the right direction!

Ye Zhizhou instantly felt that he was full of energy.

Sure enough, is this the qualitative change that a good boss brings to the company

May 20.

Two Moyu Internet Cafe branches officially opened!

Pei Qian, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan, the three managements of Moyu Internet Cafe, naturally had to be there to celebrate.

But the situation was a little embarrassing.

So cold!

It's even more deserted than when the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store opened.

The key point is that the locations of these two branches are even worse than the flagship store. Pei Qian insisted that he must not engage in nonsense when opening, set off firecrackers, and distribute flyers, as low-key as possible.

Opening quietly in such a remote place is naturally very deserted.

Pei Qian was very comfortable, drinking coffee in the empty coffee area and looking out, enjoying the warm sunshine to the fullest.

The two store managers are a little embarrassed, but they were transferred from the flagship store after all.

On the contrary, the newly recruited waiters have never seen such a bizarre scene. They all feel that they have nowhere to put their hands and feet, and they always feel that this store is full of evil.

In the corner of the Internet cafe, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan whispered.

"Why did you stop me?" Ma Yang looked puzzled.

Just now, Ma Yang felt that this scene was too cold and morale was low, so he wanted to share with Pei Qian the good news about Moyu Internet Cafe recently.

Under Chen Lei's hard work, the sales of drinks in Internet cafes are increasing every day, and the number of customers has also increased significantly!

Ma Yang feels that this model can be extended to all Moyu Internet Cafes.

But before he could say anything, Zhang Yuan stopped him.

Zhang Yuan obviously knew what he wanted to say, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ma, it's not that you don't want to say it, it's just that the timing is not right, it's too rash."

Ma Yang was taken aback: "Huh? What's the matter?"

"Brother Ma, we are only seeing a slight increase in the sales of drinks. If we estimate that, we can earn an extra 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month. Compared with the loss of 300,000 yuan per month for Internet cafes, this hole is still huge. !"

"It's just such a big score, it's not loud at all!"

"When you blow it up, President Pei asks: 'Well done, how much money did you make?' In the end, you said: 'It's still a loss', how boring!"

"It's okay not to blow it. This blow has raised President Pei's expectations. Isn't he even more disappointed?"

"If you want me to tell me, when we turn losses into profits, we will tell President Pei and give him a surprise. In this way, we and Moyu Internet Cafe will have a higher status in President Pei's heart and have more confidence!"

"Brother Ma, you said, is this the truth?"

Ma Yang pondered, it seems that the same is the case.

It is still a long way from turning a loss into a profit. It is really meaningless to tell Pei Qian this good news now, and it seems that he is a meritorious person who comes to show off his small achievements.

It's not right.

Ma Yang nodded: "Well, it makes sense. Let's talk about this later. When the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store really turns losses into profits, I will give Brother Qian a surprise!"
