Chapter 1269 GOG Skin Price Increase?

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Pei Qian had returned to Jingzhou.

Because it was still early before get off work time, Pei Qian sat in business class and was not too tired, so he decided to sit in the office for a while to see the work of various departments during this time.

Not long after arriving at the office, someone knocked on the door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Assistant Xin.

"Huh? Is there something wrong?" Pei Qian asked.

As the scale of Tenda Group grows, Assistant Xin's role in the company is actually changing constantly.

At the beginning, Tenda was just a small company, and Pei Qian was directly responsible for many of the chores in daily operations, so her work at that stage was really mainly assistant.

However, with the growing scale of Tengda, the recruitment examination of the human resources department has also been on the right track, so whether it is human, administrative, financial, etc., a large professional team has been formed, and these trivial matters naturally do not matter. Need Assistant Xin to ask again.

As a result, her work has naturally turned into the overall planning and connection between various departments, as well as the allocation of resources at higher levels. In fact, she is doing the work of the vice president, and the welfare benefits are also the treatment of the vice president.

It's just that Pei Qian uses it too easily, so her nominal position is still an assistant. Of course, the whole Tenda knows that she is definitely not just an assistant.

Generally speaking, since everyone tacitly agrees that President Pei has a clear grasp of the situation up and down the Tenda Group, he will only report on some more important matters.

This time, when Assistant Xin came over, there were probably some more critical matters that needed Pei Qian to decide.

Assistant Xin took out a document and handed it over: "Mr. Pei, this is the activity plan for this year's 1024 Digital Festival."

"The event as a whole continues the same style as before, and the benefits have been slightly upgraded."

"However, this year's activities on GOG are not the same as before, I think you still need to confirm."

Pei Qian reached out and took the plan: "Huh?"

The 1024 Digital Festival belongs to Tenda's traditional reserved programs and is held every year.

But after all, promotional activities, there are so many tricks back and forth, and it is difficult to come up with new ideas every year.

For most people, the real deal is far more important than the bells and whistles that are too complicated.

Since the first year's response was good, Pei Qian regarded this as a daily means of spending money, and the benefits were as full as possible, which was more powerful than last year.

After all, it is a relatively stable activity, so Pei Qian has not paid attention to it for a while.

The 1024 Digital Festival involves many departments of Tenda. According to the normal process, these departments first formulate their own activity plans, and then summarize them to Assistant Xin.

Now Assistant Xin found that GOG's activities have changed a lot from last year, so he came over to ask for instructions.

Pei Qian quickly flipped through the plan and quickly found the location of GOG.

There are a lot of words in the whole plan, which makes Pei Qian feel a little headache.

After all, the 1024 Digital Festival is held every year, and the activities must be a little more varied than last year, so gradually the content of the activities will become more and more abundant.

Although Pei Qian has made three orders and five applications, don't make the event so complicated, don't let players waste too much energy to figure out how to do it more cost-effectively, and don't play price discrimination, but with the accumulation of events, it is still a must to increase the content. things to avoid.

Activities on the GOG side are significantly longer and more complex than those in other departments.

"What is this Eric doing?"

"The event is so complicated, doesn't it look like your eyes are sore? I told the people in charge a long time ago that the event should be written in a simpler way. The content of three pages at once seems so laborious."

"Oh, you're new here and don't understand the rules, that's fine."

Pei Qian felt a bit of a headache when he saw the dense text and terms.

I even wanted to go back and have Eric rewrite it and simplify all the terms of the event.

But on second thought, I dismissed the idea.

Why did you dig Eric yourself?

Didn't he just see his ability in this area!

If someone is poached, but he is not allowed to continue his way of working, but subconsciously uses Tenda's set of things to transform him, what is the point of poaching someone?

If Eric really "degenerated" like everyone else, wouldn't it be a blood loss?

So Pei Qian thought about it, Eric seemed out of place compared to the other leaders, which was a good thing.

This means that Eric still continues the previous tradition of hitting the street, and it only makes sense to dig him if he has not been assimilated by Tenda.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian didn't say anything, and tried to force himself to watch it.

"Huh? Double the price of active skins?"

Among the vast number of terms, numbers are obviously the most eye-catching, so Pei Qian saw the changes in skin prices at a glance.

The price of GOG skins is always the same: hero skins are free after heroes reach top proficiency, epic skins are 18, legendary skins are 45, and there are also some limited skins, which can be obtained in various ways.

Later, Min Jingchao started a creative community. For heroes that are officially produced by players' creativity, the first skin is 10% off, the second skin is 50% off, and the third skin is 20% off. The time limit is one month from the day the skin goes on sale. efficient.

Since then, GOG's skin has fully entered the era of cabbage prices.

And every time there is an event, these skins are often discounted, 50% off is a common thing, and sometimes even 30% off, so that many players feel that the skins are so cheap that they are not people if they don’t buy them.

Under such a set of pricing strategy, in fact, the bulk of Tenda's profits lies in the legendary skins and limited skins of some heroes.

Brave skins are all given for free. If you can't get back the cost of making the skins, it's all about spending money to buy and shout, but at Pei Qian's request, the brave skins are not less made. The paragraph is confused.

The epic skin doesn't make much money, and if it is used to subsidize the cost of the hero skin, it is basically still a loss.

Profits are basically concentrated on the cool legendary skins of some popular heroes, as well as limited skins during events.

Although Tenda's activities are very frequent and powerful, it has not affected players' enthusiasm for starting purchases.

Because the interval between these activities is relatively clear. For example, the 1024 Digital Festival is a traditional reserved item. Players all know that activities are inevitable on this day, and they will wait until this day to buy skins.

Tenda's strategy is that if the skin is discounted within a short period of time, the difference will be refunded. Of course, it will not be refunded for a long time.

Therefore, for players, on the one hand, they can be optimistic about the purchase of each event node, on the other hand, because they buy early and enjoy early, even if they buy a little more expensive, they can either refund the price difference, or buy early and enjoy early.

Especially the limited skins of the event, because they are all launched during each event, there will be no new events or discounts in the short term, and the time to make up the price difference has basically passed by the next event, so basically It was actually sold for 45 yuan, and the profit was good.

To put it bluntly, these skins are specially prepared for players who don’t care much about the price, but like to get new skins as soon as possible.

They don't care about discounts or discounts, they only care about getting the latest skins as soon as possible, and they look comfortable.

The theme skin of the 1024 Digital Festival has been produced as early as when Min Jingchao was still alive, and it has not been announced yet, just waiting for the activities of the 1024 Digital Festival.

The skin theme is "Light and Dark", with an angel theme that looks bright and righteous on one side, and a dark evil demon theme on the other.

The theme itself is highly playable, and it is easy to make a good match with some specific heroes, so there must be no problem with the quality of the skin.

The problem is the price.

Pei Qian found out that the price of the skin has actually increased, from the original default cap of 45 yuan to 68 yuan!

Moreover, in general, there will be a first week discount for new skins from Tenda. Although it is not very high, there is basically a 20% discount, which is 36 yuan.

If you do this calculation, the price of skins at this year's 1024 Digital Festival has almost doubled!

Pei Qian's first reaction was to be unhappy.

Isn't this bullshit!

This skin is sold for profit, and if I mention the price, it will make me earn more money!

The scale of this event is already large, and GOG's events are synchronized globally. I earn this money, and I can't sleep or sleep...

Pei Qian just wanted to tell Assistant Xin to call the plan back and let Eric redo it, but after thinking about it, he realized the previous problem again.

In the matter of failure, the golden partner of Eric and Zhao Xuming is professional.

You have to respect the professional opinions of professionals!

It is easy to cut the price back now, but then, the situation of GOG will not change in any way. What is the point of digging Eric and Zhao Xuming by yourself?

Maybe because of this cut, Eric's original work thinking will be affected, and he will be fully transformed to Tenda's work style...

No, no, you can't do that.

Pei Qian felt that he had to support and encourage Eric's ideas.

Although there will be some pressure to make money in the short term, maybe slowly, can Eric really turn GOG into porn?

Of course, it's too optimistic and unlikely to be pornographic, but wouldn't it be very fragrant to be scolded a little bit to make room for ioi to live?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian decided to spoil Eric this time.

I earned this money with tears in my eyes. I hope you won't let me down in the future!

"There's no big problem with the plan, just follow this." Pei Qian handed the plan back.

Assistant Xin nodded and didn't ask more: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

Today is already the 23rd, and the content of the event will be announced in front of the players at 0:00 on the 24th.

Pei Qian decided to go to bed a little later tonight to see how the players' feedback was, and whether they scolded him harshly.

Of course, even if they were scolded, it was mostly Eric and Zhao Xuming who took the blame.

Because since Eric and Zhao Xuming joined the company, some gossip has spread, but some players are unwilling to believe that President Pei will dig such two treasures.

What is there to dig for the defeated generals? Sounds a bit nonsense.

But in fact the grapevine is true...

Pei Qian was rather happy. If Eric and Zhao Xuming's bad reputation on the ioi side can help GOG, then of course it's unbelievable!

...

...

October 24, midnight.

As soon as the event was refreshed on GOG's official website, Pei Qian immediately clicked in to check it out.

The name of the event is slightly different from what we saw on the plan before, the theme is "Light and Darkness", but the name of the event for players on the page is "Light Comes".

Maybe it's because "Light and Darkness" is a bit too blunt and not suitable as the name of the event, while "Light Comes" sounds a little more imposing.

The specific description of the event seems to be similar in content to the plan that Pei Qian had seen before, but the description is very different.

This is also normal. After all, the plan written for the internal is not the same as the description written for the player. The former must be relatively concise and straightforward, while the latter requires some text modification, which brings a more politeness to the player. , a sense of respect.

In addition to the skin, there are other activities, but these activities are relatively routine, so Pei Qian directly pulls down and finds the relevant content of the new limited skin.

Price, 68 yuan!

Looking at the comments and feedback from players, it turns out that most people's attention is mainly focused on the price of the skin.

And the response was quite intense!

"What's the matter with the price of this skin? 68 yuan? It's almost twice as expensive as the previous active skin!"

"Could it be that the skins are made cooler this time? Oh, it seems that these skins also have some exclusive activities in the game, but these activities are not really any rewards! I have a chance to spend money to buy a liver activity? are you crazy!"

"It's really unreasonable, isn't GOG's skin cap at 45 yuan? Haven't heard that there are more advanced skins on top of the legendary skins?"

"Then you see it now."

"If the skin is of good quality, it should be more expensive."

"That's not what you said! If the skin is sold for double the price with some special effects, wouldn't it be the same as the ioi side? The ioi side's skin price increase has been boycotted before, isn't it bad enough to be scolded? Why does GOG also start playing this set?"

"That's right, double the price with some special effects? It's really ugly!"

"You really guessed it right, are you familiar with it? This is the set of ioi operations! The gossip has long said that the GOG project team dug up Eric, the original person in charge of ioi, and now they are doing some ioi operations. Is it normal?"

"Wait! Isn't that a fake melon? The GOG project team was all good, why did they dig up this waste of Eric? If it weren't for him, how could ioi become so yellow?"

"It's really not a fake melon. Many channels have verified that Eric was indeed poached by Tenda!"

"This is going to kill you!"

Many players are calm and even a little angry.

The increase in the price of skin is only one of the reasons, and the more important thing is that he doesn't trust Eric at all.

Originally, there had been gossip on the Internet about Eric taking over as the head of GOG, but most players didn't believe it or even paid much attention.

Because subconsciously, isn't this nonsense?

Digging this person out of fear that your company won't cool down fast enough?

Boss Pei must know about this level of digging.

With Mr. Pei's wiseness and martial arts, how could he do such a stupid trick that players feel unreliable?

But after the event of the 1024 Digital Festival came out, players began to discuss this matter again.

After discussion, I found that this melon seems to be real!

There are many channels that can verify each other, and the person in charge of GOG has indeed changed!

Considering ioi's previous series of snarky operations, as well as Eric's poor reputation among players, and the fuse of this skin price increase, this contradiction was suddenly aroused.

There are even many players protesting on the forum while calling on everyone not to buy skins and resist them with practical actions.

As long as the official sees that the sales of the skins are not up to expectations after the players boycott, they will naturally return the skins to their normal prices!
