Chapter 574 Good News, the Largest Haunted House in Jingzhou Has Opened! (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Friday, July 8.

As usual, Pei Qian had breakfast at Moyu Internet Cafe, and then perfected his mind map while drinking coffee.

"Hey, Mr. Pei, isn't today the opening day of the Jingpal Hotel? Aren't you going to sit there?" Xiao Peng asked curiously when he saw Mr. Pei being so calm.

Pei Qian drank his coffee and chuckled, "No."

What's so cool about opening?

If you think about it with your feet, you know there will be a lot of people!

With the blessing of Tenda's reputation in Jingzhou, the publicity of shared phone booths, Xueba Come, and other investors, and the drainage of Tenda Games and Quanmin Dianping... If no one cares about Jingpal Hostel on the first day it opens, it will be a big deal for Pei Qian. It's too beautiful to say, too beautiful to be true.

So Pei Qian felt that don't even think about such a good thing, just lie down for the first few days after opening.

The key is to see how the first wave will develop after the past.

Pei Qian has not given up on the Thrilling Hostel project, mainly because this project still has the last line of defense, which is the initial line of defense: the charging model.

Of course, Palpitation Hostel originally had three or four lines of defense, such as the remote location, inconvenient transportation, no supporting facilities around, and insufficient publicity, etc., but these lines of defense were already self-defeating before the opening of Palpitation Hostel. Very sad thing.

But the last line of defense can still be counted on.

Pei Qian's pricing strategy is: the first multi-person project charges extremely low fees; the second project is more scary, and the fee is moderate, but if you want to pass the customs, you must memorize the specific process and operation of each project; the third project charges Higher, and must pass the second project to be eligible for the challenge.

In this way, most people will be attracted by the first item and stop at the second item. There will be very few tourists who actually enter the third item for consumption, and most of them will not go for the second time.

The construction and maintenance of Thriller Hostel requires high costs. The first project has limited space, and even if it is fully loaded throughout the day, it will not make much money. If tourists do not enter the second and third projects on a large scale, and go crazy If you spend in the Golden Maze, the Horror Hostel will not be able to make a profit.

Anyway, the first wave of tourists is the most dangerous. There will be haunted house lovers from the entire Handong Province, regular customers of Tenda, and even Tenda game fans from all over the country.

But it's certainly impossible for them to play haunted houses every day. After this wave of craze passes, Palpitation Hostel will be safe.

Therefore, Pei Qian planned to avoid the limelight for the next two days, and going to the Horror Hostel now must have no good results.

However, looking at Mr. Pei as if he didn't care, just drinking coffee silently and typing on the computer, Xiao Peng inexplicably had a feeling of "President Pei is strategizing".

Such a key project with huge investment and time-consuming, on the first day of opening, Mr. Pei could resist it?

What kind of perseverance must this be!

Even, this is not only something that can be achieved by perseverance alone, but also requires absolute confidence in the Thrilling Hostel project and a calm mind at all times.

Xiao Peng couldn't help feeling, Mr. Pei is an extraordinary person!

Inspired by Mr. Pei, Xiao Peng also quietly found a quiet corner and began to seriously think about the next work of Moyu Internet Cafe, including how to arrange the specific locations of a large number of new stores.

Pei Qian was sorting out his mind map when his phone rang.

"Ding."

Pei Qian frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that there is already bad news from the Shock Hostel?

Can't?

Picking up the phone and looking at it, Pei Qian's expression was first happy, then surprised, and he almost blurted out "Fuck".

The good news is that Ruan's skin income has arrived!

The hero Ruan was launched at the beginning of last month, which is exactly one month.

Of course, it is definitely not issued separately.

It seems to be exactly one month, just because of a coincidence, such a sum of money must be checked before it is released, so it was delayed from the beginning of this month to this Friday, which is the 8th.

But this efficiency is already quite high, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The reason why Pei Qian almost yelled "Fuck" is that he didn't expect the money to be so small?

It was clearly stated on the account information that the total amount of money was 41366.4, and there were still some odds and wholes.

Pei Qian didn't see it clearly at first, and after counting the digits carefully, he confirmed that it was really five digits, 40,000 yuan.

"Could it be that someone embezzled my money?"

Pei Qian instinctively thinks this way, it's not that he doesn't trust his financial department, the key is that it's much less than he imagined, right?

Quickly opened the background data and checked it roughly. After the check, Pei Qian found that it seemed that the calculation was not wrong...

At present, GOG has more than 1.7 million simultaneous online users, accounting for more than 60% of the domestic MOBA game market. This data is not much different from the LOL national server data in the first half of 2012 in Pei Qian's memory.

In other words, the number of players is already high.

The main reason why LOL became so popular after several years of development was that it expanded the player boundaries of MOBA games and attracted players of many other types of games.

At present, it is obviously impossible for GOG, which has been born for less than a year, to achieve that kind of popularity. The number of concurrent online users on the national server is more than one million is already a miracle, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

Of course, the more than one million players are online at the same time, and the real number of players is much higher than this number. Some of them only go online once in two or three days, and they will buy skins.

More than 400,000 players have purchased Ruan's skin. This is Ruan's first skin, an epic skin worth 18 yuan.

This skin was released two weeks after Ruan went online, because the GOG project team is currently doing its best to develop new heroes, and the production priority of new heroes is much higher than that of skins, so it is already very difficult to squeeze out this skin after two weeks It's not easy anymore.

The price of the skins is set by Pei Qian himself. The brave skin is free, the epic skin is 18 yuan, and the legendary skin is 45 yuan.

If it's 400,000*18*5%, that's 360,000, but the problem is that there is a rule when recruiting heroes in the GOG Creative Community: After the new hero that the player participates in designing goes online, the first skin will be 10% off, and the second skin will be 10% off. The first skin is 50% off, the third skin is 20% off, all players can enjoy it, and the time limit is one month.

If you are an active user of the GOG community, there are other benefits.

In other words, players actually bought this skin for 1.8 yuan.

It’s no wonder that so many people bought it proportionally. Many players here may not play the hero Ruan at all, and they will even be banned every time before playing ranked, but because the price of this skin is too cheap, So many people still bought it for collection reasons.

The main source of income for GOG is the skins sold by non-player-designed heroes. Those skins do not participate in the discounts offered by the GOG creative community, nor will they be shared with players.

Pei Qian had mixed feelings in his heart.

It stands to reason that 40,000 yuan is quite a lot for my current income level, but there is still a faint sadness, what is going on...

Is this what it feels like to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot...

In order to reduce the income of the game as much as possible, Pei Qian set all the skins at the price of cabbage. Min Jingchao obviously implemented this idea. In order to let players actively participate in GOG's game design, the discount is unprecedented.

As a result, Pei Qian found out that the first month's share was only 40,000 yuan. I have to say that this is all the cause and effect he planted before...

Pei Qian took a sip of coffee to calm down.

"Calm down and stay optimistic."

"Forty thousand yuan is actually a lot, and there will be more and more in the future."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I don't lose anything."

"GOG is now burning money to expand its market share, which is good for me to use losses to squeeze the wool out of the system; if GOG really becomes popular in the future, each of Ruan's skins will bring me hundreds of thousands or millions of income."

"So, in the short term, it's good to treat this money as pocket money, which will come every month anyway."

Sure enough, looking at it from another angle, Pei Qian felt much more comfortable.

"The first batch of tourists should have entered the Horror Hostel, right?"

Pei Qian looked at his watch: "I don't know what's going on over there now."

...

at the same time.

The entrance to the Thriller Lodge.

Qiao Liang got off the bus at the Thrill Hostel, looked at the bustling crowd, and had the illusion that he was visiting an amusement park.

Uh, it's not right to say that, the Palpitation Hostel was originally an amusement park, but it only has a haunted house project at present.

"Jingzhou! I, Qiao Laoshi, are back!"

Setting foot on the land of Jingzhou again, for some reason, there is a familiar intimacy, as if two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time meet again.

Qiao Liang took out his phone, clicked on his fan group, and new messages popped up quickly.

"Brothers, gather at the gate!"

"I'm on the next bus, it should be here soon, please wait for me."

"Where's Old Wet Joe? Come and lead the team! I'm under this tree next to the parking lot!"

Qiao Liang quickly found his fans and successfully reunited.

"It seems that there are fewer people than I imagined. I remember when I went to Disneyland and Huanqiu before, there were so many people, it was like queuing up to death." A fan said.

Qiao Liang smiled: "What are you thinking? How can it reach the level of Disney and Universal? Disney has to invest billions of dollars in an amusement park, how much did you invest? You just think of it as a bigger one. A haunted house will do."

"However, I believe Mr. Pei will definitely surprise us as always!"

For some reason, Qiao Liang felt that he always had a kind of sweet trust in Mr. Pei.

The news of the opening of the Horror Hostel has long been spread among Qiao Liang's fans. As an old friend of Mr. Pei, he has no reason not to come and visit, even though he is more afraid of haunted houses.

If it's just Tengda's consumer status, then of course it doesn't matter if you come or not, but since you are Mr. Pei's friend and Mr. Pei's haunted house has opened, how can you not come to join us?

Qiao Liang cherishes his friendship with Boss Pei very much.

As for what to do if the haunted house is too scary... Anyway, after you get there, you can see the situation.

Soon, Qiao Liang's fan squad gathered together.

These people come from all over the country. They usually chat and brag on the Internet. They don't have the opportunity to meet each other, so they just take this opportunity to meet.

But Qiao Liang soon discovered a sad fact: he does not seem to have any female fans.

A group of elders walked into the Jingpal Hotel together.

"Not to mention, the scale is not small, and the supporting facilities are well done. The restaurants, hotels, shops, and parking lots are all available. How can it cost two to three hundred million?"

"It is said that Mr. Pei did not pay the money alone, but many local investors in Jingzhou contributed the money together, each responsible for a part. It may not be easy for Tengda alone to bear such a large expense."

"Well, after all, Mr. Pei also has to consider sharing risks."

"Huh? Isn't there a ticket check at the door? We've already walked in."

"It seems that each project sells and checks tickets separately. There are joint tickets, but I didn't buy them, because the joint tickets cost 200, which doesn't seem to be much cheaper..."

"Go in and see which project is fun, and then decide how to buy tickets."
