Chapter 767 It's a Windfall Again!
Friday, December 2.
In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while checking the weekly work reports submitted to him by various departments.
For some reason, there is an inexplicable feeling of criticizing memorials.
Now Pei Qian somewhat understands why those stupid emperors in ancient times didn't like going to court or approving memorials, because it really is a very troublesome thing, how can it be so fun to be a shopkeeper who throws his hands away and eats, drinks and has fun every day!
At present, Tengda has a lot of industries, and it would be a bit overwhelming if the heads of every department come to report work, and Pei Qian doesn't want to do that, after all, he needs freedom.
Therefore, at present, Pei Qian supervises the work of various departments of Tenda mainly through two methods:
The first is that each department regularly submits a weekly work report, and compresses the work situation of this week into a few dozen words to give a high-level summary, so that Pei Qian can roughly know what these departments are planning recently, and take precautions in advance.
The second is to report at the bi-weekly regular meeting of the management staff. These reports will be a little more detailed, and at the same time, they can be mutually verified with the weekly work reports of various departments to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Pei Qian flipped through the weekly reports sent by various departments, and stopped at the weekly report of Shangyang Games.
"Hey, have the new DLCs of the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Producer" been officially launched yesterday?"
"Good thing."
"... I won't be the last to know the news, will I?"
In the past two days, apart from going to class, Pei Qian also spent a lot of time in surprise review.
Because next month will be the exam week, the courses of the junior year are relatively more difficult than those of the freshman and sophomore year, and there are more exam subjects.
Pei Qian was ashamed that he always failed the bastard Ma Yang in the previous exams.
This time we can always get rid of the shame, right?
You know, Ma Yang is very busy now, he has to live broadcast "bring goods" and spread coins on Weibo, and now he has become a popular person in school, and he may even be recognized when he walks on the road. Many students would respectfully call out Mr. Ma when they saw this long face.
Just like this, Lao Ma still needs to spare time to study carefully and prepare for the exam.
As for Pei Qian, although everyone in Tenda Group thinks that Boss Pei is ten times busier than Boss Ma, Pei Qian knows in his heart that his real working time may only be two hours a day.
That is, the month before the settlement is the real busy.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that it would be really unreasonable to fail the old horse under such circumstances.
What's more, Pei Qian deliberately borrowed the notes of a few girls in the class who are very good at studying this time, so it can be said that he is well prepared.
He hadn't taken the old horse test before, and Pei Qian also thought about it seriously, thinking that it was mainly because his review posture was wrong.
Borrowing Ma Yang's notes to review, the upper limit is only one score with him, how can it be surpassed?
Assuming that the upper limit of Ma Yang's notes is 70 points, no matter how much you review, it is impossible to break through 70 points!
So this time Pei Qian borrowed other people's notes in a very sneaky way, just thinking that he could overtake in a curve and beat Ma Yang once in grades.
Otherwise, I can't pass the old horse every time I take the exam, what a shame! It seems that Pei Qian himself doesn't even understand how to mess around.
Pei Qian, who was concentrating on reviewing these two days, didn't pay attention to the launch of the DLC of these two old games, so he only realized it later. He didn't know until he saw the weekly work report of Shangyang Games the next day after the DLC was launched.
"Let me see the sales..."
"These two broken games have been around for so long, and everyone is tired of playing them. Is it true that someone is still buying their DLC? No way, no way?"
"Fuck! What's going on?"
Pei Qian opened the backstage to take a look, and instantly lost his composure.
Of the two DLCs launched yesterday, the sales volume of the "Lonely Desert Highway" DLC has reached 250,000 copies, and the sales volume of the "Game Producer" DLC has also reached 130,000 copies!
Roughly estimated based on the prices of 5 yuan and 18 yuan, after deducting the share and tax deductions, the daily net income brought by these two DLCs to Tenda Games is more than 2 million yuan!
Moreover, this is only a day's income.
In the next week or even a month, these DLCs will continue to generate revenue, and as the influence spreads in the next few days, sales may even show signs of rising!
Pei Qian was at a loss.
What the hell is going on!
Is he a little confused about the current situation, how long have these two games been released? Shouldn't it be eating ashes in the players' game library?
In the end, what do you mean by holding on to these two broken games and not letting go? You are still buying DLC for this game, you are sick!
Pei Qian decided to make DLC for these old games, with two intentions:
The first is to spread out the manpower of Shangyang Games, and let Wang Xiaobin, who is not good at playing games, do these DLCs, which will slow down GOG's overseas operations and give ioi a chance to breathe;
The second is that I feel that no one will play the old game, so I secretly updated a DLC, which costs money and has no sales, which is the best of both worlds.
As a result, looking at it now, I was completely delusional!
This sales volume is a bit outrageous!
Now Pei Qian's biggest feeling is confusion and confusion.
It was agreed that Wang Xiaobin is not good at designing gameplay? The promised old game is no longer played?
What is the situation now?
Confused, Pei Qian went to browse the forum, and then saw an enthusiastic long comment from a certain player.
"Tengda Games: Sincerity Creates a Perfect Model of Win-Win! "
"Yesterday I heard that "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Producer" have updated DLC. My first reaction was not to believe it. These two games have been out of date for a long time, and the game itself is already free. Is it necessary to release DLC again? Can it really make money?"
"I'm a little confused. Tenda has GOG in its hands and is still developing new large-scale game projects. Why should it take time to develop DLC for these old games that have completed their historical mission?"
"But now I understand that Tengda's operations are full of routines!"
"Everyone knows that the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Producer" have been free for a long time, so most people have already gone to claim them, and they are happy to add one, right?"
"At first, I thought that this kind of free is a very common promotion strategy. After all, the life of the game is coming to an end, and there are not many sales left. It is a good choice to give up that sales to expand the influence of the game."
"But now I realize that it turns out that the main body is free and selling DLC is also a good option! This is a trap!"
"It is precisely because the main body of the two games is free, which greatly expands the player base of the game, so when the new DLC is released, it can achieve such a good sales!"
"And what's even more commendable is that, on the basis of the original stand-alone gameplay, this DLC has added an online gameplay, which activates the potential of these two games at once, allowing old players to find new fun! Moreover, this The next game also buried the easter eggs of Tenda's new game, so there is even more reason to buy it!"
"That's why I say that Tenda Games is a model of sincerity forging a win-win situation."
"If it's another company, the old game must be left to fend for itself, and players can only throw the game in the game library to eat ashes."
"But Tenda is different. They are willing to update old games every once in a while. On the one hand, they show a strong sense of responsibility, making players feel that Tenda will not give up any game; on the other hand, they use interesting gameplay and Easter eggs connect all the old games together and become part of Tenda’s game empire, and the way of freeing DLC first and then selling DLC has also achieved good sales and revenue.”
"To be honest, this kind of sincerity is not a difficult thing to do, but most companies are unwilling to do it because they feel that it is not profitable. But Tengda does the opposite, which is enough to show what a company this is. Maverick company!"
"Let's not talk about it, I will buy these two DLC first as a respect!"
Pei Qian looked at this long comment with a dull expression on his face.
Is it free to sell more DLC?
Don't mess with me, I don't mean that at all!
If it weren't for the system that stipulates that new products must be priced, do you believe that I would give all DLCs for free?
Pei Qian originally thought that the worst case would be to earn some word of mouth, but he didn't expect so many players to pay for it!
In fact, at present, the proportion of players who pay for DLC to the total sales volume of the game body is not high, but because the two game bodies are already free, there are too many people who have received and played it, so now selling a DLC can activate the game So many people are willing to buy it because of the new gameplay!
"It's not too late, the money must be spent quickly."
"Go to Dream Realization Venture Capital?"
When Pei Qian thought that he had made money again, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Although there are still nearly two months before the settlement, these two DLCs will continue to make money.
What to do with the money, we still have to plan ahead and plan early.
After Pei Qian thought about it, he still had to go to Yuanmeng Venture Capital.
The first batch of companies that invested should now be able to roughly see whether they are profitable or not. Sell the profitable ones quickly, and chase after the unprofitable ones, and you should be able to spend this windfall.
...
Dream Realization Venture Capital, conference room.
He Desheng began to report the first round of investment to Mr. Pei.
"Mr. Pei, so far we have invested in a total of 11 companies, 2 companies have shown obvious signs of profitability, 1 company has a clear profit trend, and 3 companies have good popularity, which has attracted the attention of other investors. The remaining 5 companies have not moved, but there are still a lot of funds in the company's accounts, and there is no shortage of money for the time being."
"Here are the detailed information of each company, please take a look."
Pei Qian reached out to take the documents, and found that all of them were all kinds of complicated financial statements, and couldn't help feeling dizzy.
He put the information aside: "I don't look at these things. You just follow my previous regulations. If you have made a profit, sell it immediately; if it shows a profit trend, don't invest any more, and sell it when you make a profit." If there is no profit, continue to observe; if the money is spent, continue to pursue investment.”
"The money earned after selling it will be directly invested in the following companies in order, and the finance we sent can also be withdrawn to take charge of other companies."
Today's 4D update, there will be more in the afternoon
