Not long after sending Meng Chang off, Pei Qian received a call.
It was Chang You.
"Boss Pei, er … I've encountered a small problem."
"I've already given feedback on your request for the Fitness Battle's shopping mall and lucky draw system. However, the development team's reply is that these functions can be done, but there are some changes compared to the original design."
"Therefore, the game might have to be delayed for a few days. After all, we have to test the functions repeatedly to prevent malignant bugs from appearing in the game."
"However, that way, the game's release time would not match the news conference time. Originally, the game's release and the news conference were scheduled for this Sunday. Both of them would be released at the same time. Now, the game's release would be a few days later than the news conference. "
"There are two solutions now: either the news conference and the game will be delayed and the game will be released after the game is completed, or we can mention it at the news conference and say that the game will be released in the near future."
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment before asking, "Is there no third way? For example … not mentioning the game at the news conference? "
Chang You was stunned. "Huh?"
He had not expected that at all.
'Fitness Battle' was a game tailored for the smart fitness drying rack. It could also be said to be the greatest advantage over other fitness equipment. Chang You's original PowerPoint even had about a third of the space to introduce this game.
Many people had a reason to buy the smart fitness drying rack with this game. If not for this game, everyone might have thought that the smart fitness drying rack was a comedy product.
Chang You confirmed again. "Boss Pei, are you sure you don't want to mention the game at all?"
Pei Qian said seriously, "Of course!"
"The time of the news conference definitely cannot be delayed. All the preliminary work has been prepared. The invitations to the various technology media have been sent out. It would not be appropriate for us to change our minds at the last minute. It would seem that we are not keeping our word."
"However, since the game is not completely completed and there is still a possibility of modification, it's better not to be too confident. Wouldn't we disappoint the customers if the finished product does not meet everyone's expectations?! "
"Tengda's style has always been to be honest. We don't say things that we are not confident in, and we don't fight battles that we are not confident in."
"Therefore, don't mention this at the news conference for now. There will always be a chance to let the customers know in the future!"
Pei Qian's bluff did not have much effect.
It wasn't convincing at all!
Chang You hesitated for a moment and said, "Er … Boss Pei, consumers are actually not that fragile. What's more, the general framework of our game has been set. It's unlikely that there will be too many changes …"
"Of course, Boss Pei, if you think it's more appropriate not to mention the game at the news conference, then we won't.
"I'm not talking about it."
Chang You nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. We'll do as you say."
After hanging up, a smile appeared on Pei Qian's face again.
Good news came one after another!
If the smart fitness drying rack did not mention games at the news conference, this fitness equipment would not be attractive to ordinary consumers.
After the news conference, the popularity of the smart fitness drying rack would decrease. Most people would not remember such fitness equipment. At that time, even if news of 'Fitness Battle' were to be released?
His influence would also be greatly reduced.
Of course?
It was impossible to say that no one bought it. There would always be a few curious white mice.
But heat?
It was better to lower it a little!
Pei Qian was very happy. He could not help but recall the wonderful scene of the smart fitness drying rack being unable to be sold and the stocks being piled up in the warehouse …
…
…
May 10th?
Thursday.
Shanghai, Long Yu Corporation.
Eric just got off a phone call?
He seemed to have had an intense argument with the person on the phone?
However, he did not seem to be able to convince the other party in the end. He nodded reluctantly and agreed to the other party's suggestion.
Zhao Xuming was also at the side even though his English was not bad.
However, Eric spoke too quickly.
Zhao Xuming could not hear what was said on the other end of the phone. Thus, he could not know the entire contents of the phone call with just a few words. He could only vaguely understand that it seemed to be related to IOI's mobile version.
That made Zhao Xuming slightly worried.
That was because Long Yu Corporation and Finger Games were going to hold a news conference today according to Eric's arrangements.
Both parties would announce a series of measures regarding IOI's local server at this news conference?
That included the news of IOI's mobile game being released, the new hero that IOI had created to take care of the domestic market, the full set of national style skins for the domestic market, and a series of subsidies and money-burning policies.
He could say it?
Today's news conference was the start of Long Yu Corporation and Finger Games officially declaring war on Tengda Corporation.
For this day to come?
Eric had actually been preparing for a long time.
He had been carefully preparing for today's plan since the day Eric was dismissed.
He wanted to burn money to defeat Boss Pei in one fell swoop.
After Eric regained control of IOI's local server?
He was also making preparations while patiently observing the opportunity.
Now, the time had finally come.
Eric had been observing Tengda's various industries seriously.
He thought that now was the best time.
He had invested a huge sum of money into the movie and game of Mission and Choice. It might be a success in terms of reputation, but it would still take a long time to recover the money.
The initial sales of G1 cell phones were not bad. There would definitely be a large number of stocks in the future, and a large sum of money would be held back.
According to rumors, Otto Technologies had a new technological product to release. Boss Pei would definitely have a large number of stocks of this product according to his personality.
All of this meant that Tengda's already tight capital chain would face greater pressure.
Boss Pei should not have much money to burn at this juncture. It would be very beneficial to Eric!
While the money-burning war could be carried out secretly, he had to hold a news conference and 'announce it to the world' as high a profile as possible in order to achieve the best effect.
That was because most players would only know about this news if it was publicized. Only then would new blood be attracted to the game.
This move would attract Tengda's attention and even allow Tengda to retaliate quickly. However, that was the effect that Eric hoped to achieve.
That was because the outcome of the money-burning war had nothing to do with reaction speed. It was only related to the number of bullets in one's hands. On the other hand, bullets actually depended on whose capital flow was healthier and whose family background was thicker.
Tengda had placed importance on it long ago and burned money to fight. It might be easy to withstand the pressure from Finger Games in the early stages, but it would definitely not have enough momentum.
Thus, today's news conference had been carefully prepared for a long time. Its influence directly determined whether the money-burning war would start smoothly.
Zhao Xuming probed after seeing that Eric had hung up. "Is there anything new? It won't affect today's news conference, right? "
Eric shook his head slightly. "There's a small problem with the mobile game, but it shouldn't affect today's news conference."
"Previously, the mobile game was made into a client-side game that was not interconnected with the mobile game. After I protested to the higher-ups, this method was rejected."
"However, the person-in-charge of the mobile game project just called and said that while the mobile game was designed to be interconnected with the client-side game and mobile game data, some charging points were added in the mobile game that were different from the client-side game."
"For example, there are individual exclusive skins, exclusive gift bags, special icons, and expressions in the mobile game."
Zhao Xuming was stunned. "This … doesn't seem appropriate, right? Since we want to do data interconnection, we should do it more straightforwardly. Isn't it better to make it exactly the same? We don't want others to talk about it. "
Eric shook his head helplessly. "That's right."
"However, there's also pressure on the mobile game project to make profits. If the content of the mobile game and the client-side game are completely the same, the revenue of the mobile game would be too weak. "
"The development of mobile games also has a special project team to maintain and develop it. With so much investment, the higher-ups have to consider the ratio of investment and output. The data interconnection has already made a lot of concessions in terms of interests. If we don't think of other ways to recover, the mobile game project will definitely not agree. "
"However, the person-in-charge over there also gave a compromise solution."
"The mobile game might have some exclusive skins, gift bags, and other spending points, but we will give players some tokens at the beginning of the release so that they can use these tokens to obtain most of the exclusive skins and gift bags for free."
"Once the player base of the mobile game stabilizes, we will slowly produce new exclusive skins and gift bags to slowly recover."
"This can be considered a compromise that is barely acceptable."
Zhao Xuming nodded slightly. "Yes … that's the only way."
Obviously, as the person-in-charge of IOI's domestic server, Eric had a certain amount of authority with the higher-ups of Finger Games. However, his authority was not so great that he could not be disobeyed.
The other project teams of Finger Games were in charge of developing IOI mobile games. Eric hoped that IOI mobile games and client-side games would be completely interconnected and would not earn a single cent more. However, there were people in the upper echelons of Finger Games who did not agree with this idea. They felt that they had worked so hard to create a mobile game. Why could they not earn money?
The result of the game between the few factions was that they would all take a step back: the mobile game would produce some exclusive gift bags to earn money, but they had to be more reserved. They would first give more tokens in the early stages and pretend that these exclusive content could be obtained for free. After a period of time, they would slowly sell the exclusive content to recover.
That would be easier for players to accept emotionally. IOI's mobile game project team would also be able to earn more money.
Eric might still be a little dissatisfied with this method, but he was also a smart person. He knew that it was unrealistic to let IOI's mobile game completely follow his will. Thus, he tactfully did not insist.
Zhao Xuming suddenly thought of a problem and said, "Then … what about the news conference in the afternoon?"
"There will be content related to mobile games at the news conference. Our slogan is' mobile games and client-side games are interconnected and the content is completely the same '. I'm afraid it can't be considered' completely the same 'in this situation, right?"
Eric pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to be so clear. Introduce it vaguely."
"If we tell the truth at the news conference and tell the truth about the mobile game's exclusive gift bag, we might be at a disadvantage in public opinion from the beginning."
"We can hint at the news conference that the game is still in development and does not represent the final effect. Gamers will probably not hold on to this when the game is released and give more tokens."
Zhao Xuming nodded. "That's right. As long as we give enough tokens, gamers will definitely lose their memories collectively and pretend that nothing happened."
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Eric stood up. "Alright, this matter is settled. The news conference will be held in the afternoon. Hurry up and prepare. We're going to declare war on Tengda!"
