Chapter 405 A Little Matter, I'm Already Busy
Monday, January 24.
Pei Qian came to the company with a dark face and entered the office.
In the two days of the weekend, he ran all over the shopping malls where the twenty-one telephone booths were located, and his heart was broken.
Among the twenty-one phone booths, the one on Huanyu Tianjie was self-made by Zhang Huang, and the other twenty were found by manufacturers.
Now, all the phone booths are painted with original GOG hero paintings, and they are filled with various things that Pei Qian thinks have nothing to do with phone booths, such as drink machines, jukeboxes, gashapon machines, and so on.
A good phone booth has been abruptly transformed into a small multifunctional entertainment room!
Moreover, there are long queues at the entrances of all the telephone booths, and many people even ran all the way here just to take a photo and get a stamp inside!
Pei Qian found Zhang Huang very speechlessly, and before he had time to question him, Zhang Huang had already proudly reported the results of sharing the phone booth.
The cost of each phone booth is about 10,000 yuan, plus the various equipment and AEDs inside, plus the rent ranging from 500 to 1,000 yuan, the initial investment is probably less than 40,000 yuan.
If you count the original painting on it, it's 70,000.
Now, the daily use time of the telephone booth is about seven or eight hours on average.
40 yuan per hour, plus the extra income from equipment such as beverage machines and gashapon machines, you can earn more than 300 yuan a day, which is ten thousand yuan a month. Even after deducting maintenance costs and other expenses, you can earn seven to eight thousand yuan a month No problem either.
In this way, the cost of this phone booth can be recovered in one year, and it will be a net profit after one year.
At that stage, just the current 20 phone booths can earn Pei Qian more than 100,000 yuan every month!
Of course, for Mr. Pei, who has experienced many battles, this mere hundreds of thousands is just an insignificant burden.
The reason why Pei Qian felt very depressed was mainly because of the serious frustration brought to him by the project itself.
"This kind of unreliable project can make money if you invest in it???"
On the spiritual level, Pei Qian was hit much harder than those previous money-making projects...
So, until this morning when he came to the company, Pei Qian still felt a little in a trance.
"President Pei, GOG is about to officially start testing."
Pei Qian looked at the message on the phone, and simply replied "Got it".
After thinking about it, Pei Qian sent Lin Chang a message and made an appointment to meet at Moyu Internet Cafe near Handong University.
Pei Qian has been busy with sharing the phone booth this weekend, and the meeting with Lin Chang has been delayed again and again, and it was reluctantly delayed until this morning.
Coincidentally, while meeting Lin Chang, I also went to Touch Fish Internet Cafe to see the real situation of GOG.
The so-called "officially starting the test" is to officially release the test version of the game to the official game platform, so that players can freely download and experience it.
Of course, considering the pressure on the server, so many test account qualifications will not be issued in the early stage. It must be the core players of Tenda games that are more likely to obtain qualifications.
Through the trial play and feedback of this group of people, we can better find out the bugs and problems in the game and fix them.
The version during the test period is definitely full of bugs, but players who like to play the test version are generally more tolerant. They have an early adopter mentality and don't care so much about these bugs.
However, Pei Qian felt that the real situation of GOG might not be visible only by online reviews, and it would be more reliable to go to Moyu Internet Cafe to take a look and visit on the ground.
...
The ending Chinese website author study class, also known as the "little black room" by readers.
At noon, everyone sat down at the long conference table, chatting while eating.
They don’t go to work on Saturday and Sunday. Some of these authors make up for the two-day update with the previous saved manuscripts, and some continue to use their own notebooks to code in the hotel.
Therefore, Ming Yu and Cui Geng, who were named by President Pei, have not seen everyone for three days.
"Hey, Mingyu, Cui Geng, why did you two go on Friday? Tell me quickly." Someone was very interested in where the two of them were going.
Mingyu coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "I went to find an Internet cafe with a high configuration nearby, secretly coded three chapters in the morning, and then saved them. I played games for a while in the afternoon."
Someone was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that code words are not allowed?"
Mingyu smiled: "Yes, but no one cares about it. I just need to distribute these three chapters to the Saturday and Sunday updates. Who knows?"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it really is a model worker! I was forced to take a holiday, and I still don't forget to secretly save manuscripts!
Without Zhu Xing'an, these authors can speak freely.
Before, Zhu Xing'an was sent by a group of horses to supervise these authors, but after Mr. Pei came to inspect the last time, he sent Zhu Xing'an away and let these authors manage themselves.
Mingyu looked at Cui Geng again: "Brother Cui, how about you? Did you really go to receive a day of Tengda spiritual education?"
Another author answered, "That's right, Brother Cui, did you post the ending announcement out of anger?"
In the eyes of these authors who don't know the truth, Cui Geng's behavior can be said to be very confusing.
I went to Tenda headquarters on Friday, and an end notice was released that evening, which scared the readers enough.
I thought this book was cut like this, but on Saturday, Cui Geng updated it again, and updated four chapters!
On Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday mornings, Cui Geng was still writing this book seriously, and the number of updated words was not small at all, and there was no sign of cutting it at all.
This is very confusing.
What the hell happened on Friday? Is Cui Geng still writing this book?
You know, among all the authors who participated in the study class, Cui Geng's grades can be considered very high.
For many new writers, five or six thousand subscriptions can already be written forever.
Facing everyone's questioning, Cui Geng smiled slightly: "Friday, I have indeed been educated in the spirit of Tengda. It's just not a boring study like you think, but an ingenious form."
"You will know when you go, this way is really interesting!"
"As for this book, I really intend to finish it quickly, but that's because..."
"It suddenly dawned on me that I want to finish this book quickly and write a better one!"
Cui Geng's eyes lit up.
During this period of time, he was also constantly conceiving the big framework of "Butterfly Game", waiting to collect enough materials in various departments of Tengda, and he was almost ready to start writing!
Mingyu was a little curious, he felt that Cui Geng's mental state was different.
The former Cui Geng had severe procrastination, a bit salty, and more or less hypocritical.
To be honest, Ming Yu always felt that Cui Geng was a bit of a waste of his talent.
If you write casually, you will get five or six thousand subscriptions, and if you don’t update it well, you will always cut it randomly. If you write seriously, and you can update six or eight thousand words a day, this subscription will not exceed ten thousand?
But looking at his expression this time, why does it seem that he wants to change his mind?
Is it possible that this Tengda spiritual education is really so successful?
Cui Geng continued: "Moreover, participating in Tengda's spiritual study this time made me understand a truth, that is, don't resist and reject rest and entertainment, and use them to better maintain working conditions."
"The updated word count should not be the only indicator, but the quality of the book should be guaranteed."
"Brother Mingyu, haven't you been asking me how to write to 5,000 average subscriptions? I think that for you, the most urgent thing is to shorten the number of updated words a little bit and further improve the quality."
Mingyu was thoughtful when he heard this.
"Hmm... that sounds reasonable."
"Why don't I do less today and learn the spirit of Tengda?"
Although he was given a day off, Ming Yu wasn't interested in it.
As the most motivated author in the class, he cares more about how to write more and better content.
Seeing Cui Geng's reborn new look after a Tengda spiritual study, Ming Yu also had the idea to learn it.
Another author said: "Well, I want to go too."
"I want, too!"
More than half of the people at the table wanted to see how the Tengda spirit training can help the legendary "pigeon spirit" get rid of his demons.
However, so many people want to go, how to arrange?
Mingyu thought for a while: "In this way, everyone will update as much as they can according to their ability, and go to the one with the least update. Those who have already been there once will consciously write more and no longer participate."
"If there is a situation where multiple people are interrupted, they will all order the lowest one."
Everyone thought about it and thought that this was a good way, so they nodded.
Cui Geng no longer needs to participate, because he will rectify a little in the past two days, leave the study class, and go to various departments of Tenda Group to start a new job (collect materials).
...
Moyu Internet Cafe.
Pei Qian arrived before Lin Chang. Instead of sitting down and drinking coffee, he walked around the internet area of the internet cafe.
The situation is not as optimistic as he imagined, but it is still within the acceptable range, not bad.
In his original idea, GOG should be very aggressive.
In Internet cafes, GOG not only has to face the influence of traditional online games such as "Sea Fortress", but also directly competes with similar games such as ioi and "Shenqi".
"Shenqi" has a large and loyal player base, while ioi is rapidly becoming popular abroad, and the popularity has also spread to China.
Moyu Internet Cafe, like other Internet cafes, has already installed ioi's international server and Sinicization package for customers. Although the delay is slightly higher, Internet cafe customers can now play ioi.
Therefore, Pei Qian originally thought that GOG would not be played by many people.
But when I went to Moyu Internet Cafe, I realized that there are quite a few people playing GOG, and it has completely formed a three-legged trend with "Shen Qi" and ioi!
Of course, only from the perspective of graphics and game completion, ioi is still better.
After shopping around, Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
"Hmm... It seems that ioi should be stable at present."
"Because the current Internet cafe ioi is still a foreign server version, the delay is very high, and it is difficult to communicate with teammates in the game because of the language barrier, so there is a natural disadvantage."
"Even so, ioi is more popular than GOG in Internet cafes, and more people play it."
"If ioi is officially launched on the national server and solves the problem of delayed communication with teammates, it will definitely be more popular than GOG, right?"
"So, GOG should still be cool, and my judgment should be right."
Pei Qian thought about it carefully, and felt that the current situation was not bad, it should be said that he could be cautiously optimistic.
Just as he was thinking, Lin Chang arrived.
"President Pei, long time no see." Lin Chang smiled.
Pei Qian felt that there seemed to be something deep in Lin Chang's smile, and there seemed to be some hidden information.
"Boss Lin is also busy with work recently?"
Lin Chang chuckled: "It's a little thing, mainly matchmaking, I'm done already."
