Chapter 890 The Ioi Money Burning Battle Begins!

After writing the beginning, Cui Geng opened the backstage contentedly, and then posted it to the Chinese website of the terminal.

According to his plan, the whole story is roughly divided into four to five parts. The first part is just an introduction, and then the formal content of the first part will be formally entered.

In fact, Cui Geng could choose to immerse himself in creation, write a hundred thousand words and publish them all at once, but he thought about it, and finally decided to follow his previous writing habits for real-time serialization and post as he wrote.

On the one hand, it is because the backstage calculates the remuneration based on the number of words officially published on the Chinese website of the terminal, and on the other hand, it is also because he wants to see the readers' reactions and adjust some details in the novel in a timely manner.

Of course, Cui Geng has also made sufficient psychological preparations.

The story of "Successor" takes place in a foreign country. The main character is tall, rich and handsome, and also very despicable. The whole novel is about how a wealthy second generation born with a golden spoon in his mouth and with extremely low methods passed the superhero system. The story of the loopholes that successfully seized power and did all kinds of bad things.

This is basically incompatible with the tastes of the mainstream readers of current online articles. Whether it is the protagonist's background, personality or the core of the whole story, they are all deduction items.

If Cui Geng was asked to set the topic and write the share, then he would never dare to write about this topic, because writing it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

But now that Mr. Pei buys out according to the number of words, Cui Geng can relax boldly. You can no longer be constrained by the original rules and regulations, but you can boldly let yourself go.

Although most of the time the author's free ego will fall miserably, but if all authors are forever trapped in the rules and dare not try, then how can it be possible to write something different?

Cui Geng feels more and more that Mr. Pei's buyout is obviously implying that these authors who have already grasped the rules of online writing: I will give you the bottom line, and you can try your best to explore and write more excellent works!

After uploading the beginning, it will take a certain amount of time to review.

Cui Geng silently closed the website and went out for dinner.

Before, it was inspiration, and I was very eager to write what was in my mind, so I forgot about hunger for the time being. Now that the beginning of the story has been written, Cui Geng's pigeon spirit relapses again, and he suddenly feels hungry.

...

...

Saturday, February 11.

Pei Qian fell asleep again until he woke up naturally, sat up from the bed, and yawned.

This week, he assigned work tasks to several departments non-stop. The daily working time was approaching six hours, and the work intensity was quite high. Naturally, he had to take a good rest at the weekend.

After ordering Moyu takeaway, Pei Qian took out his phone and swiped aimlessly, wanting to see if there was any news recently.

"Huh? Cui Geng opened a new book last night?"

"Are there some other 'inspiration class' authors who have also opened new books?"

"The 'Inspiration Class' has only been held for two days, and these people have started a new book? Could it be that the 'Inspiration Class' really inspired them?"

"Don't mess with me!"

Pei Qian became tense instantly, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The authors of these "inspiration classes" have signed a new buyout contract to write customized articles related to Tenda IP. As a result, the content has been conceived in just two days?

Something is wrong!

Pei Qian hurriedly opened several new books written by the authors of the "Inspiration Class" with trepidation.

But after reading the messages in the comment area, I immediately felt relieved.

The comment section is noisy!

The authors of this inspiration class have a variety of themes for their new novels, some of them write about Tenda game fans, some write about superhero fans like Hurricane comics, and some write about the background stories of GOG heroes...

But readers basically didn't buy it.

After all, they are all writers of web novels. Originally, whether they were writing fairy tales, fantasy, or cities, none of them could get out of the circle of web texts. All the accumulated experience was from writing web texts.

Now I suddenly start writing custom articles, and the update speed has also fallen off a cliff, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the original readers.

Many readers even think that they are just bad money, and that the buyout plan launched by Dingdian Chinese.com is to "extend themselves from the people". Old readers are very disappointed and abandon the book one after another.

Judging from all aspects of data, these newly released books can be said to have fallen off a cliff compared with the data of the author's old books.

In comparison, Cui Geng's new book "Successor" is the least criticized. Judging from the comments, it is basically a half-and-half situation: some readers said that this is a new theme, which is eye-catching, and they are looking forward to the follow-up; Another part of the readers expressed that they were not interested in this subject, and hoped that Cui Geng would continue to write about urban subjects.

None of these authors responded in the comment area, and there is probably nothing to respond. The book has already been opened, and the beginning has already been written. Even if some people don't like to read it, they should continue to write.

Pei Qian couldn't help being in a good mood.

"I just said that it would definitely be useful to let these online writers write buyouts! Look, the eyes of the masses are discerning!"

According to the current development trend, the books written by the authors of these "inspiration classes" will definitely not be read by anyone, and they will not be able to bring traffic to the Chinese website of the terminal. Pei Qian is equivalent to posting manuscript fees in vain.

Of course, according to the regulations, these authors can write up to two buyouts, and if the response is not good, they will have to go back and write for a share. But it doesn't matter, after all, the length of these buyout books will not exceed 500,000 words at most. Even if you write two books with 1 million words and then go back to write the share, it will not have much impact on the authors.

And all buyout books are free and open to readers, and the interests of authors and readers will not be damaged. Mr. Pei has paid more for manuscript fees and "inspiration class" money, and everyone will be very happy.

Pei Qian was relieved a lot about the "Inspiration Class" and the Chinese website of the end point, and put this matter aside for the time being.

He continued to swipe the latest news on his phone.

"Huh? Eric finally started throwing coins!"

Pei Qian was simply overjoyed.

On the official website of the national service ioi, the update and operation plan of the latest version of ioi is released. The content involves many aspects, but they can all be summed up in two words, that is "sprinkling coins"!

According to the official website, all the heroes of the national server ioi will be free, and the basic price of all skins will be reduced to 30% of the original price. There will be various preferential policies for new players to register!

Such incentives are unprecedented.

And more importantly, this discount is not limited to the ioi national server, the ioi world server has also undergone the same update, and the price of the skin has also dropped sharply.

Obviously, Eric also learned from previous experience.

To fight a price war, we must fight to the end. If there is no way to reduce the price level of ioi heroes and skins to the same level as GOG, then it is better not to drop, not only will not have the effect of grabbing players, but also reduce your own income, which is not good at both ends.

After the price reduction, the interests of old players must also be taken into account, and compensation must be given adequately, otherwise the loss of core players will be accelerated.

After Eric came back and took charge of the ioi national server, he did not make the mistakes that Zhao Xuming made before.

From the feedback from online ioi players, we can clearly see the immediate effect of this price war.

"Finger's IQ is finally back to normal! Finally, no more outrageous operations!"

"Indeed, this discount is decent, and the compensation for old players is also in place. What about the previous price cut to send beggars?"

"However, both domestic and foreign countries have cut prices together. This discount... I am afraid that the revenue of the company will plummet!"

"Finger Company: Yes, yes, you have made money, but we are almost bankrupt."

"What are you thinking? How could the finger company lose money? Behind them is the Dayak Group, which is very rich. Besides, burning money now is to seize market share. Small profits but quick sales can also attract players to buy more skins. In the long run Looking at it, it must be profitable. If you continue to maintain the original price, you will die slowly!"

This time, all the ioi players cheered, and many people even thought that the ioi national server should be on the rise.

In all fairness, the quality of ioi's games is not bad. The reason why it has widened the gap with GOG is mainly due to the details of the gameplay, pricing strategy and promotion.

Now, ioi has come to the same level as GOG through a price war, which is indeed great news.

Although old GOG players are unlikely to switch to ioi because of this, there are still new players entering the pit after all!

At present, the player group of MOBA games is still expanding, and there are still many player groups who have never been exposed to MOBA games. ioi is mainly aimed at these people.

With this sum of money, the long competition between the two games, ioi and GOG, is full of suspense.

Pei Qian was very happy about this, Eric cooperated well!

If Finger Company burns money so desperately, Tengda has a reason to burn money!

Previously, Pei Qian was giving ioi a hand. He deliberately allocated half of the manpower from Shangyang Games, which is in charge of GOG's international server, to update the old game of Tenda. It was equivalent to fighting ioi with one hand. ioi was killed.

Now, finally, it's time to step up the game!

However, Pei Qian thought about it carefully, and felt that he should not be too excited, and should restrain himself a little, so as not to catch all the fish.

Burning money is only a little less than that of ioi, and the promotion is also a little worse than ioi. In this way, Eric can always see the hope of making a comeback, so that he and Pei Qian can continue to burn happily.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help humming a ditty.

With Eric's help like this, great things can happen!

...

At the same time, it was approaching midnight in a tourist city in the United States.

Bao Xu, Ye Zhizhou and others finished visiting another scenic spot today, and have already returned to the hotel to rest.

This hotel has a sauna, so everyone wrapped up in towels to take a sauna, relieve fatigue, and then go to sleep.

In the steam-filled sauna room, Bao Xu leaned against the corner with an expression of lovelessness.

Although steaming in the sauna can relieve physical fatigue, Bao Xu's mental fatigue is irreparable.

He is now like a walking dead, completing the schedule step by step every day, and he feels that it is superfluous to say one more word. I just want to go back to Jingzhou immediately and stay at home for a few months.

But Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao were chatting.

Ye Zhizhou said: "On the way back, I saw a message that Finger Company is finally going to fight a price war with us. All heroes are free, and the price of all skins has also been reduced to 30% off the original price..."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Well, I noticed that too."

One of these two is in charge of GOG's R&D and national server operations, and the other is in charge of GOG's overseas server operations, so they pay special attention to similar information, and they know the movements of Zhitou company at the first time.

Ye Zhizhou was a little worried: "The visitor is not kind."

"In the short term, the revenue of the finger companies will definitely fall. But the finger companies, especially the Dayak Group behind them, have a big business, and some money can be burned."

"The challenges we encountered this time are more severe than the previous ones."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Well, there are still smart people in the finger company. The Dayak Group is indeed a super large multinational group. It has repeatedly fought against Mr. Pei. Although it has never won, but it can still be made if it persists until now. Such a strong resistance is indeed powerful."

Since joining Tenda, they have also witnessed many business battles.

Whether it's games or other fields, Mr. Pei is invincible. Almost all those who dare to go against Mr. Pei end in disastrous defeat.

The difference is that most of the companies have lost their voice after the fiasco, and have never threatened Tenda again, but only Finger Company and Dayak Group have persisted until now.

From this point of view, it is indeed more difficult than the enemies encountered in the past.

Ye Zhizhou said: "This time the finger company started a price war, and it is more difficult to deal with than before."

"Before, no matter whether it was digging deep into the gameplay or organizing the GPL league, Mr. Pei won it by relying on his vision and layout, but when it comes to funds, Tengda has no advantage."

"Sure enough, the competition between the two sides has reached a fierce stage, and it is still better to compare who has the richest financial resources."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Indeed, for Dayak Group and Finger Company, this should be the last move. They have no other choice but to fight us on price."

"but……"

"I believe in Boss Pei. No matter what method Finger Company comes up with, Boss Pei will definitely have a countermeasure!"

Ye Zhizhou: "I don't know what kind of countermeasure it will be."

Min Jingchao said with emotion: "How could we have guessed what President Pei is doing?"

"However, I believe the answer to the mystery will be revealed soon."

"Our vacation is almost over, pack up your mood, go back to work immediately, and fully cooperate with Mr. Pei to fight the last battle against the Dayak Group!"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Well, I think so too!"

"Now I can kind of understand Brother Bao's feelings. After working long hours, I want to come out to play and relax. But if you play outside all the time, it's quite tortured."

"I've had enough fun during my vacation, and I can't wait to get back to work right now!"

The state is not good, adjust and adjust, and add more tomorrow. In addition, regarding the plot of "Successor", I have thought about it, and will greatly compress it, only giving the outline and some details, ensuring to write its essence, and not too many details about the details. Relevant chapters will be marked in the format of "SUCCESSOR/Successor (1)", just skip it if you don't want to read it~
