3 PM.
Pei Qian was lying on the sofa in the living room watching television. The afternoon sun was not bad. It shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, warming him up.
Suddenly, the phone beside him rang.
Pei Qian glanced at the caller ID. It was Min Jingchao.
"Boss Pei, are you watching Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's news conference?" Min Jingchao's voice was filled with worry.
Pei Qian was stunned. "No, what's wrong?"
Min Jingchao quickly said, "Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation seem to be making a big move. They're targeting us."
"According to the current information, Finger Games is going to put in a lot of effort to promote IOI's local server this time. The content of this news conference includes the mobile version of IOI, exclusive heroes and skins for domestic players, and a series of preferential activities."
"Apart from that, according to some rumors, Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation do not seem to intend to limit their money-burning war to the gaming industry. It seems like fake reviewers are on the move. They want to attack our company's other industries and products. Their first target should be the cell phone that we just released this month. The fitness equipment that is about to be released might also be included in the attack range … "
Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed when he heard Min Jingchao's anxious voice. "Oh?"
It's finally here. I've waited so long!
Ever since he established Tengda Corporation, Pei Qian had been looking forward to the appearance of such a powerful enemy. It could attack all of Tengda Corporation's industries and start a money-burning war with Tengda Corporation. It would not stop until one of them was dead.
At first, Pei Qian thought that Boss Li would be this enemy. However, he did not expect Boss Li to retreat so quickly and cozy up to him. Wasn't that infuriating?!
It was the same for Dayak Corporation. Previously, Pei Qian had provoked them several times, but Dayak Corporation seemed to have been very restrained. Instead, they had admitted defeat first. As a result, Pei Qian had advanced triumphantly after provoking them for a long time. That made him very uncomfortable.
Now, after Eric's comeback, Dayak Corporation and Finger Games had finally understood and were going to play a money-burning war!
There was another piece of even more optimistic news. The other party was aggressive. Not only did they place the money-burning war in the gaming industry, but they also expanded to all of Tengda's industries.
Obviously, in Eric's opinion, it was not wise to fight to the death with Tengda in the gaming industry.
Tengda Corporation was a corporation that spanned many fields. Its greatest strength was that it had formed a closed loop of commerce in Jingzhou. The various industries supported and transfused with each other before slowly radiating to the surrounding areas.
If they were to fight to the death in the gaming industry, Boss Pei could mobilize the forces of other industries to support them and continuously inject blood into the game. The chances of winning were not high if they fought like that.
Thus, Eric chose the gaming industry as the main battlefield. At the same time, he spread the secondary battlefield to other industries. That would be able to disperse Tengda Corporation's energy as much as possible, making it difficult for the various industries to divert their attention to support the gaming department.
Moreover, this was a very efficient method.
Eric did not need to really enter these fields. He did not need to develop products to compete with Tengda. He only needed to buy fake reviewers and work with Tengda's competitors in these industries to think of ways to discredit them.
It was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Now, Tengda was in the open. The situation of all the industries had been investigated clearly. On the other hand, Eric was hiding in the dark. He could make Tengda's various departments unable to take care of themselves.
Take cell phones for example. Eric only needed to work with other cell phone manufacturers to continuously discredit and attack Otto cell phones online. That would have a very good effect.
After all, it took one's mouth to start a rumor, but it took one's legs to refute it. It was easy to create a black mark, but it was too difficult to eliminate it.
Min Jingchao obviously knew this very well. Thus, he immediately felt a huge threat and rushed to report to Boss Pei.
However, this was something that Pei Qian could not have wished for!
Wasn't Pei Qian worried about the same thing that Eric had been worried about previously?
Pei Qian could not wait for a certain industry to turn cold. That way, he could continuously incur losses. However, these industries would inexplicably link up every time, pulling some industries back from the brink of incurring losses. Instead, they would come back to life and become huge profits!
Now, Dayak Corporation was willing to spend a huge sum of money to hire fake reviewers to attack Tengda Corporation's various industries in all directions and without any blind spots. What kind of spirit was this so that Pei Qian could incur losses without doing anything?
Pei Qian felt that if he could really incur a huge loss this time, he should set up a statue of Eric at home and offer incense every day.
At that thought, Pei Qian sighed. "It's finally here!"
Min Jingchao was slightly stunned on the other end of the line.
Why did Boss Pei sound like he had expected this?
What's more, Boss Pei's tone seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and a little happy.
Could it be …
Boss Pei had already predicted that Eric would do this. He had already prepared a way to deal with it in advance. Now that he saw Eric take the bait, his preparations could finally be used. Was that why he reacted like this?
As expected of Boss Pei!
Victory was decided a thousand miles away in the midst of strategizing. No one else had such wisdom and breadth of mind other than Boss Pei!
He could rest assured since Boss Pei had already made arrangements.
Min Jingchao had been a little flustered previously, but he immediately felt at ease after the call with Boss Pei. He hung up and went to work on his own matters.
Pei Qian immediately turned on the television and found the live-stream of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's news conference. He watched with interest.
…
The news conference finally ended almost three hours later, when it was almost 6 PM.
Pei Qian turned off the television as he yawned.
The content of the news conference was not bad, but it was too long!
Pei Qian could have finished the lecture in slightly more than an hour, but he had forcefully dragged it to three hours. Pei Qian was starting to feel sleepy.
He strongly recommended that all news conferences be the same as Otto Technologies' news conference. No matter how much content there was, they should be compressed into less than an hour. Don't waste the audience's precious time!
However, even though the news conference was long and boring, it was still quite interesting.
Zhao Xuming and Eric, the two heavyweights, went on stage and introduced the business areas they were in charge of.
All in all, the content of this news conference was mainly divided into the following parts.
First, it introduced the changes in IOI's global data, the various results of the local server since it was released, and the various exclusive benefits for local server users, including the changes in the data since the ICL league was held.
In summary, it was a summary of his previous achievements and a daily bragging session.
Then, he introduced the content of IOI's version update.
Apart from making slight adjustments to the balance and gameplay of the game, the most important thing in this version update was the release of a set of national style skins, a new hero for the domestic market, Cloudy Auspicious Dragon, and a series of discounts, half-price, and promotional activities.
The game's version update was synchronized across the world. Foreign players could also enjoy this content. However, the national style skin and new heroes were obviously meant to please domestic players.
Of course, Long Yu Corporation would definitely spend a lot of money to promote this new version. They would buy a lot of advertisements online and offline. These were not mentioned at the news conference, but they were definitely indispensable.
After that, there was news about IOI's mobile game.
Eric personally introduced this segment. He praised IOI's mobile game to the skies. He claimed that it could "perfectly replicate the details of the client-side game". He promised that both terminals could be interconnected and all the current assets of the client-side game could be brought to the mobile game.
Eric had actually played a little trick here.
He only said that "all the current assets of the client-side game could be brought to the mobile game", but he did not say that there were some unique fees in the mobile game.
However, it would not be a problem to say that if one was picky about words. It could only be considered a small word game.
It was the players' own problem if they misunderstood. At most, they would just curse online. It should not cause too much opposition.
However, no one knew about this apart from Eric, Zhao Xuming, and a few others.
After all, IOI's mobile game would only be released next week at the earliest after the news conference.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the content of this news conference.
Obviously, Eric had finally been enlightened. He had been hiding and preparing for so long. Finally, he had revealed his killer move!
Looking at the bullet screen comments in the live-stream and the discussions online, it was obvious that most players had shown a positive and positive attitude towards this news conference.
After all, the content of this news conference could be summarized in one sentence: Dear players, you are my father!
From the new national style hero to the new skin, to the dual-terminal data interconnection of IOI's mobile game, including various extremely preferential operating activities, it could be seen that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had lowered their stance and were completely kneeling down to domestic players.
As the saying went, one would not slap a smiling person. How could gamers reject the many benefits that the game manufacturers had offered?
It was just like how no matter how fraudulent some gaming platforms were, as long as they persistently sent games to gamers every month, gamers would collectively lose their memories and help them clear their name as long as they sent enough.
After all, the gamers were the ones who benefited from the price war between manufacturers.
Thus, everyone was very happy.
Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation were ambitious and wanted to burn money to snatch back the domestic market. The domestic players cheered excitedly. They could get a bunch of good skins for free. Pei Qian was even happier. Eric was simply a lucky star sent by the heavens to reduce the difficulty of incurring losses!
As the saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate.
It would not be right if Tengda did not do anything since the other party had already expressed his stance.
Pei Qian immediately began to prepare Tengda's plan to repay the players!
