May 17th, Thursday …
Long Yu Corporation.
Early this morning, a few core members of Long Yu Corporation's IOI operations and cooperation department arrived at the conference room on time.
According to the original arrangement, IOI's mobile game would be released at 10 AM sharp this morning. These core members naturally had to keep an eye on it the entire time. They had to deal with any unexpected situations immediately.
Eric and Zhao Xuming arrived as well.
They would officially be released at 10 AM on Thursday. This time was a little awkward, but there was no other way. They could not delay it any longer.
It was already the 515 Games Day. Boss Pei's various welfare activities had been fully launched and caused a huge response online. Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had to do something.
Eric would find it difficult to accept the loss of popularity over the past two days if the opening of the server was delayed to the weekend. It might also affect the other activities that had been arranged previously.
At that moment, the employee in charge of docking with the various gaming platforms was reporting on the completion of the preparatory work.
"We've already discussed with the main channels and reserved recommendation spots for our mobile games."
"The recommendation spots of each channel are different. Some are very straightforward and directly give the best recommendation spots. Some have more requirements and need data to reach a certain standard. Some say that the best recommendation spots are already gone, but the second-best ones can be arranged at will."
"All in all, overall, we can rest assured about the channel resources. After all, IOI's mobile game is of high quality and has a client-side game foundation. These channels also know that our game can earn money. We don't need to say much. They will think of ways to promote it themselves."
"In addition, various channels have already opened reservations for IOI's mobile game. At the moment, the number of reservations has exceeded a million, and it is still increasing. I believe that the number of players will increase greatly as we carry out large-scale publicity activities! "
Eric and Zhao Xuming nodded slightly, satisfied with the current situation.
Of course, this was within their expectations.
Originally, Eternal Hunter was the most direct competitor with IOI's mobile game. The number of reservations for this game had also reached a million, which was basically the same as IOI's mobile game.
However, after Eternal Hunter decided to skip the ticket, it seemed that it was difficult for the games in the same period to compete directly with IOI's mobile game.
The game channels could rely on their connections to negotiate for recommendation resources, but the most important thing was the actual benefits.
The same publicity resources could be used to earn more money for a good game. If it was used on a lousy game, the earning ability would be greatly reduced.
The game channels also had to get a share?
And a lot at that?
For the sake of their own money, they would also try their best to give publicity resources to good games that could make more money.
In Eric and Zhao Xuming's opinion?
IOI mobile games were obviously the most profitable games in the near future.
As long as IOI's mobile game had enough exposure?
With enough recommendation resources and the quality of the game?
Why worry about not soaring to the skies?
Of course, it could not be compared to GOG's mobile game.
After all, GOG had laid out its plans for mobile games too early.
They were undoubtedly the big brother in the domestic mobile game market.
However, IOI's mobile game was a new work after all. It was still outstanding compared to the other new mobile games. In the short term, it was actually competing with GOG's mobile game.
In short, the situation looked good.
After listening to the report on the preparatory work?
Eric nodded. "Huh?
Everyone has worked hard and done a good job. Then let's stick to the original plan and start the server at 10 AM sharp! "
Zhao Xuming added, "Everyone, you've worked hard. Let's work a little overtime today. We have to keep an eye on the various statistics on the day of the server's opening.
We have to pay attention to our mobile game's ranking on the various rankings and pay more attention to the public opinion on the internet.
Let's see how the gamers react. "
"You have to report to me immediately if anything abnormal happens.
Don't let your guard down! "
Compared to Eric, Zhao Xuming was obviously more familiar with the rules of the domestic mobile game market.
What's more, he had a vague feeling of unease.
Logically speaking?
Boss Pei should not be so silent.
After the joint news conference between Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation?
Tengda Corporation had also created a 515 Games Festival?
In fact, both sides had already declared war. Everyone knew that even the gamers could tell even though they did not mention each other.
Given Boss Pei's personality and previous style of doing things, he would definitely not hold back once the money-burning war started.
However, two days had passed since the 515 Games Festival. Boss Pei did not seem to have done anything to Long Yu Corporation. Instead, he was focused on his own territory.
That made Zhao Xuming feel a little strange. Thus, he instructed his subordinates to pay attention to the game data and gamers' feedback at all times. They had to report any abnormalities immediately.
In case Boss Pei's knife was already on their necks and they would not be able to detect it.
Everyone nodded. "Alright, Boss Zhao. Don't worry!"
These were all elites of the department with rich work experience. They would do their best to do such things even if Zhao Xuming did not instruct them.
…
IOI's mobile game opened on time at 10 AM!
Eric still had a lot of things to deal with, so he did not keep an eye on the mobile game's data and online discussions. He left all these matters to Zhao Xuming and the others.
Eric was thinking about countermeasures after the 515 Games Festival.
In his opinion, Tengda Corporation would definitely fall into a period of weakness after burning money vigorously during the week of the '515 Games Festival'.
He had also paid attention to the movie's box office, but it did not affect his plan.
That was because he had to wait for the final box office to be confirmed before he could start the process. The extension of the key for Mission and Choice could indeed earn more money, but that also meant that the movie's payment had to wait until it was released.
Distant water could not quench present thirst.
The money-burning war was already in progress. A sum of money that would only arrive in Tengda's account after two to three months or even longer actually did not have much impact on the money-burning war between both parties.
Eric felt that this was a very wrong decision by Boss Pei.
Mission and Choice had a lot of momentum. The income from the extension of the key would definitely be much higher than ordinary popular movies. It was indeed a little unreasonable not to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan in the box office.
However, the extension of the key also meant that the payment would be slower, making Tengda's funds even more stretched.
Was it more important to return the money two to three months in advance? Or was it more important to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan in the box office?
Eric felt that the former was obviously more important at such a critical moment in the money-burning war.
Boss Pei would not not understand this logic, but he still chose to extend the key. Obviously, he was very confident in Tengda. He thought that he did not need this sum of money to win this money-burning war.
"Once a person becomes arrogant, they will not be far from failure."
Eric made up his mind to continue burning money after the '515 Games Festival' and put Boss Pei in a dilemma!
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a slightly urgent knock on the door. Then, Zhao Xuming pushed the door open and entered.
"Bad news! I have a situation to report to you! "Zhao Xuming's expression looked slightly anxious.
"Eh? What's wrong? "Eric asked.
Zhao Xuming felt a little guilty as he handed his cell phone over. "I looked at the new best-selling list of a few channels just now. I suddenly realized that a game called 'Fitness Battle' seems to be very popular. It has already rushed to the top of the new best-selling list!"
"Our game has just been released. The data is not bad at the moment, but it only occupies second place on the new best-selling list."
"That's not the key. The key is that I took a look at the data of this Fitness Battle and realized that it was developed by Shang Yang Games …"
"Actually, I saw this game before, but I didn't take a closer look because I wasn't interested in the game genre and I hadn't heard of it online …"
"Now that I think about it, the delay in the release of Eternal Hunter was not just to hide from us. It's very likely that they heard the news from some channels and were also hiding from Boss Pei's new game …"
Zhao Xuming panicked.
The Fitness Battle had been released yesterday. He had seen it before, but perhaps because he was busy with work, he did not take a closer look at the development company of the game.
Zhao Xuming was stunned when he saw that it was Shang Yang Games.
Boss Pei was revered as the 'God of Games', and he was famous. Now that IOI's mobile game was coinciding with Boss Pei's new game, wouldn't Boss Pei be the scapegoat if something went wrong and they pursued the matter?
Eric smiled slightly and did not take the cell phone from Zhao Xuming. "I thought it was something important."
"I already understood the situation of the Fitness Battle a long time ago. I deliberately did not ask you to change the schedule."
