Chapter 1270 Waiting for the Hook

Seeing the players' boycott, Pei Qian almost laughed.

And such a good thing?

Sure enough, I really should trust professionals, Eric is reliable!

Originally, Pei Qian thought that the income from this price increase must have skyrocketed, but from the current situation, it is not necessarily so.

Because GOG players have become accustomed to the previous pricing, even if it goes up, it can’t go up too much. A 30% increase is already a lot.

It is indeed possible for players to buy while scolding, but the premise is that the price increase cannot be too outrageous.

As it is now, even some price-insensitive players feel uncomfortable, causing widespread boycotts on the Internet, and price increases may not necessarily bring more profits.

In fact, there are some other activities in this "Light Comes" event, mainly in the game.

For example, playing a certain number of games with skins and meeting certain conditions can unlock some new rewards.

These rewards are not displayed directly, but most players can guess them.

Because this kind of activity is very common, many games have done it, and the rewards may be some insignificant things such as avatar frames, avatars, expressions, etc., as an additional means of promotion.

So, players don't buy it at all.

I spent money on skins, and I have to spend time on livers?

After the liver is finished, you will give me some avatar frames and expressions that should have been given to me as rewards?

No reason!

Boycott, boycott!

As for this event skin, whoever buys it is the public enemy of the whole people!

When you enter the game and see someone using a new skin, don't be rude!

Because these people bought skins, which is equivalent to fueling the arrogance of game developers, making them more justified in raising prices in the future.

Even Tenda must not be used to it, it is necessary to spray it!

President Pei must see the public opinion on the Internet, and then quickly remove Eric, otherwise, with this person, the game of GOG will never be better in the future!

Seeing the raging public opinion on the Internet, Pei Qian was happy.

Eric is great, I didn't dig you for nothing!

...

Early the next morning, Pei Qian got up and went straight to the GOG project team.

It is not to raise teachers to ask for guilt, nor to commend them.

He would definitely not ask for guilt. Pei Qian was very happy. Those who could make him less money were all dear relatives, friends, and siblings.

But the commendation is also not appropriate. After all, this event has been so popular on the Internet, no matter how you look at it, it is Eric's work mistake. At this time, the commendation is a bit too obvious.

The purpose of Pei Qian's visit this time was to observe and appease.

First of all, let's observe the reaction of the entire GOG project team to this incident. Will it be full of complaints against Eric, which will affect Eric's future work.

If you really have complaints, please appease everyone and tell everyone not to complain when you encounter problems, and to obey the arrangements of the person in charge, Eric.

In short, I do not support this specific event, but I generally express my position that I still support Eric very much and help Eric consolidate his position in the project team.

In the future, Eric is going to show his strength and help Pei Qian make a big loss. How can he be restrained?

After changing the person in charge, the entire GOG project team has been moved out of the Tenda game department and moved to the 22nd floor of the building.

The 23rd floor has also been rented, which is convenient for future personnel expansion.

At present, the relocation of the new station has been completed. In addition to the original GOG project team, the operation team and the personnel responsible for communication with the e-sports department are also here, and the recruitment plan for personnel expansion has also been put forward. schedule.

Pei Qian scanned the workstation and found nothing unusual.

Everyone is working normally, and there is no expression of bitterness and hatred, wanting to overthrow Eric.

But Pei Qian was still worried, because this might just be a superficial phenomenon.

Even if they don't like the new leader and are dissatisfied with this event, who will write this on their face?

Pei Qian thought about it and decided to talk to Eric first and ask about the situation.

If Eric thinks there is no problem, and everyone in the project team listens to him, then there is no need for the follow-up link; if Eric thinks it is not good, and some people do not cooperate, then Pei Qian will come forward to help him stand on the platform and appease him. Employees.

Eric and Zhao Xuming have special offices, mainly to separate them from other employees and maintain their purity.

Pei Qian came to the door of the office and knocked gently on the door.

...

At the same time, Eric and Zhao Xuming were in the office looking at the feedback from players on the forum.

"Sure enough, I was scolded quite badly, even worse than I imagined." Zhao Xuming was a little worried, "The situation is a little serious, there won't be any problems, right?"

Compared with Eric, Zhao Xu is obviously more timid and more afraid of taking the blame if something goes wrong.

Eric shook his head: "The plan has been shown to President Pei. President Pei did not say that he would change it, indicating that he supports our plan."

"Besides, if you want to lead the enemy to the ambush, you have to pretend to flee first, and some casualties are inevitable."

"This time will not be very long. According to my previous estimate, it will be within one or two days. Therefore, the final reward of our event will be unlocked in two days."

Zhao Xuming asked, "How sure are you about this event?"

Eric chuckled: "Seven points."

"Actually, the top executives of Dayak Group have been seeking to increase the price of ioi's skin, but they have never found a good opportunity."

"Although they have basically given up confrontation with GOG, that doesn't mean they don't pay attention to GOG's activities. On the contrary, they pay more attention than before."

"It is precisely because they want to increase the price that they should pay more attention to the trend of GOG. We should be cautious about many things, and we must choose the right time to restore a little word of mouth."

"In case the price increase happens to hit Tengda's fracture promotion, isn't that the case that you will put your head under the knife?"

"So, they must also be paying attention to the 1024 Digital Festival, and they are also preparing corresponding activities. They will not do nothing and let their market share be grabbed too much."

"The event will not be launched immediately after it is completed. Most of the time, I will wait and see to see the specific content of GOG's activities, and at the same time make certain fine-tuning of the content of its own activities."

"If the activities on GOG's side are particularly conscientious, then they can only lower the discount of the skin, at least on the surface, it will be pretentious."

"And what if GOG goes up in price?"

"They probably won't miss this opportunity."

"Of course, this is all my guess. The other party may not be able to take the bait, and even because of slow efficiency, it may not be able to react so quickly."

"But even if the other party doesn't take the bait, it doesn't matter, this event is not harmful to us, and we can still continue to grab ioi's market share."

Zhao Xuming nodded.

He is also very clear that most of the ioi will not miss this opportunity.

Because for Dayak Group, after realizing that it cannot beat GOG in the short term, and even ioi’s own market share is constantly losing, they are very eager to get more profits as soon as possible.

However, if you raise the price of skin, you will be scolded once, and you can't act rashly.

But what if GOG took the initiative to increase the price, and the increase was still large?

That gives ioi an opportunity to increase prices!

A lot of things are afraid of comparison. If the price of the skin on GOG has increased a lot, and the price of the skin on ioi has also increased, but the increase is not so large, maybe it will be possible to achieve a situation where both the price and the reputation can be earned.

For Dayak Group, this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it is missed, there will be no more.

Moreover, the activities are prepared in advance, as long as you change a few numbers before going online, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist this temptation for such a low-cost and high-yield thing.

And as Eric said, even if the other party doesn't take the bait, this event itself is not too bad, and it can still be used as a normal marketing activity to grab market share.

Zhao Xuming felt that the only problem with the whole thing was President Pei's attitude.

After all, the two of them are newcomers, and it has only been less than a week since they took over the GOG project, so they changed Min Jingchao's original event plan, and the change was very bold, and even made GOG get a lot of scolding in the early stage of the event. rule.

If it is in other companies, it is definitely not possible to do this.

But Tenda is obviously not an ordinary company, so I think it's not a problem to do so, but it is more reasonable.

Zhao Xuming was struggling when there was a knock on the door.

Just after saying "please come in", I saw President Pei push the door in.

Zhao Xuming and Eric quickly stood up: "President Pei!"

President Pei walked in cheerfully: "You sit, there is nothing else, just come and see."

"The changes to the new activities are quite bold. It seems that you have adapted to the working mode in Tenda."

"However, I would like to ask one more question. Have you encountered any uncooperative situations from old employees during the work process? If so, be sure to tell me, and I will help you solve it."

For others, this may be a difficult problem to solve. When there is a conflict between the boss and the subordinate, the boss must be supported, but it is difficult to guarantee that the subordinate will not be angry.

But there is no such problem with Pei Qian, because all the employees trust him too much. As long as Pei Qian says a word, all employees can really support Eric's work from the bottom of their hearts.

Eric hurriedly shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, but I did not encounter such a situation."

"The business ability of the employees at Tenda is the strongest I have ever seen, and they are very efficient, and they never ask much. The efficiency is much higher than before, and we have never encountered delays, let alone deliberately. It doesn't work."

Pei Qian nodded slightly.

It seems that this "don't ask" style of Tenda employees is still beneficial.

At least parachuting a leader who can lose money can ensure that these employees earnestly implement his loss-making policy and save a lot of trouble.

Pei Qian was relieved a lot, and asked again: "I see that the event seems to be scolded quite badly."

"But it doesn't matter, the person in charge is responsible. A lot of times, you have to withstand the pressure and do what you think is right."

"Don't deny yourself just because you're being scolded, you still have to stick to your inner thoughts a lot of the time."

Pei Qian was afraid that after Eric and Zhao Xuming arrived at Tengda, their faces would become thinner, and they would change their activities if they were scolded by players. How could it be possible?

But Pei Qian couldn't say it too clearly. He couldn't directly say that you continue to mess around like this. He can only make a side-by-side attack, so that the two of them can "stick to themselves".

Eric nodded immediately: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I know."

Zhao Xuming's previous worries all disappeared, and he was ashamed of his shallowness.

Boss Pei, has you ever seen a lot of wind and waves?

As early as when "Game Producer" was developed, President Pei came up with a "performance art-style publicity", spending money to buy UP owners to collectively "dig lotus roots".

When was it not first scolded as a dog, and then really fragrant?

As far as the little routine he and Eric came up with, it seems to Mr. Pei that it is a little trick, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

"Okay, since there's nothing to do, then I'll go first."

"Don't work too hard, and focus on the combination of work and rest."

Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current state of the GOG project team, felt that he had dug the right person, and left after a few words.

After Mr. Pei left, Eric said, "I'll tell you what you see, Mr. Pei must fully support this matter!"

"Although Tengda's scale has not yet developed to the level of a super giant, President Pei, as a leader, has absolutely the best vision and decision-making power, and is by no means comparable to the mediocre executives of big companies."

Zhao Xuming agreed.

Eric swiped the web page again: "The next day, it's up to ioi to be fooled."

...

At noon, Pei Qian went to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe for dinner, and by the way, he checked the comments of the players.

Sure enough, the heat seems to have risen again.

After all, this event started in the early morning. Some players went to bed earlier for various reasons, and didn't know about it until this morning.

Although the popularity has risen again, most of the players are still the same, either spraying Eric in the forum, or calling for a boycott, and there is nothing new.

This made Pei Qian feel a little disappointed.

You don't have the strength to spray people, and you still call yourself a keyboard warrior?

Use some force! Do some more tricks!

Speaking of this, Pei Qian especially misses those navy soldiers that he bought at his own expense or at public expense, and feels that these navy soldiers are indeed worthy of being a professional eater, and the angle is very tricky.

If the water army is to be reimbursed in full, then Pei Qian will have to arrange it 24 hours a day, so that everyone can get the full effect of the show.

I was swiping, and suddenly I came across a new post.

"The ioi next door also has an event! Never thought that one day ioi's activities will be more conscientious than GOG..."

"My conscience, the price of ioi has also increased!"

"That's less than GOG!"

Pei Qian couldn't help but be taken aback.

Um?

There are even activities and new skins out there?

It's a good time to be stuck!

I hurriedly opened the official website of ioi and found that there was indeed an event there. Of course, they did not call the 1024 Digital Festival, but another name, but the intention was obvious, just to benchmark GOG.

This event also released new skins and increased prices.

Compared with the original skin, this new skin has added some special effects and exclusive actions, and the price has increased by 30%.

Originally, this matter would be scolded by the players, but with GOG blocking the gun in front, the ioi's reputation has even picked up!

Of course, Pei Qian felt that he smelled the familiar traces of the navy when he saw these praise sentences.

Obviously, ioi secretly invited the navy to help fuel the flames, and wanted to take this opportunity to not only push the price of the skin up, but also set up an archway to grab some players from GOG!

"The timing is really good, but don't take it too seriously!"

"If you don't increase the price or even discount it, isn't it a perfect counterattack operation?"

"Forget it, it's a little flawed, but it's not a big problem."

Pei Qian's first reaction was regret.

If ioi did not increase the price of the skin, but took the opportunity to give a discount, wouldn't it be possible to form a comprehensive dimensionality reduction attack on GOG, and form a perfect cooperation with former colleagues Eric and Zhao Xuming?

As a result, ioi also took the opportunity to increase the price, which is a bit suspicious.

But on second thought, after all, Dayak Group wants to eat, and they have been brewing for a long time about the price increase, and they can't hold back.

If you don't take advantage of this excellent price increase opportunity, it will be difficult to increase the price in the future.

After all, it can be said that Tengda's IQ dropped this time. What about next time?

We have to seize this opportunity, set the price increase, and let players get used to the new price.

All I can say is that it's not perfect, but it's not bad.

Pei Qian's requirements are not high, but he just feels that this time, ioi should be given some breathing room.
