A few guys in DGE uniforms shouted excitedly, causing cheers for 'DGE' to erupt from the surroundings.
Such a situation could be seen in any GOG competition. In any case, no matter which two teams cheered for, someone would definitely shout for DGE in the end.
It could only be said that DGE's legend would forever exist in the hearts of the audience even though it had been a long time since DGE participated in any official or unofficial competition.
Pei Qian felt a headache when he saw the DGE uniforms these people were wearing and the DGE support items they were holding.
A team that had not competed was actually selling their uniforms better than the current champion team. That was f * cking ridiculous!
How much money did the DGE Club earn from selling their uniforms and peripherals?!
"No, the main point is not the uniform.
"Could it be that today is the finals of the GPL Spring Competition?!"
Pei Qian suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
If it was just a regular competition, there would not be so many spectators!
The number of people gathered at the entrance of Jinsheng Square and Great World obviously far exceeded the number of people that the multi-purpose hall of the GPL venue could accommodate.
However, even if there was a finals today, why were they all gathered here?
The venue could not accommodate them either?
Pei Qian immediately understood when he looked at Jinsheng Square.
That was because the huge promotional posters of the two teams that were going to compete today were on the big screen!
This big screen was actually divided into three parts. In the middle was the huge glass wall of Tengda's experience store. The screen itself would not block the glass wall. Instead, there would be a long strip above the glass wall that connected the big screens on both sides.
The big screens on both sides covered the second, third, and fourth floors of the outer wall. They extended into the distance a little like a pair of wings, but they were more regular.
At that moment, the big screens on both sides were red and blue. There were the flags of the two teams and the photos of the entire team. There was a tense atmosphere.
The long screen above the glass wall of the experience store was the countdown to the start of the competition.
What's more, this image was not static. It was still dynamic. After a period of time, some promotional videos would be played, such as the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition, the promotional video for GOG's new version, team interviews, and so on.
In the promotional video for the finals, some of the highlights from the quarterfinals and semifinals were also used. The two big screens played it at the same time, presenting a huge game screen in front of the audience.
The empty space between the two outer walls of Flourishing Gold Plaza had become a perfect place to watch the match. Even the people in the building facing the street could see the big screen!
These people gathered here were obviously here to watch the offline competition!
Pei Qian was speechless when he saw this.
What a scam!
I didn't ask you to make a big screen for this!
Little Sun said, "Boss Pei, go in and take a walk. I'll park the car in the underground parking lot of Jinsheng Plaza."
Pei Qian shook his head. "No need."
With that, he opened the car door and sat back down.
"Let's go. I'm not going to watch anymore."
It was already like this, so what was the point of watching?
This was obviously a dead end!
Pei Qian didn't want to waste any more time going into the experience store. It didn't take a genius to know that the experience store was packed to the brim.
The weather today was not very hot and not very sunny, but it was summer after all. How could standing outside be as comfortable as going to the experience store to enjoy the air conditioner?
Wasn't it normal to go to the Tengda experience store and then go to the top floor to eat something delicious before the competition started?
Thus, Pei Qian felt that there was no need to waste time to make himself uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be nice to go home and eat iced watermelon and play games on such a hot day?
There was no point in dwelling on the experience store. It was more realistic to stay on schedule.
For example … Finger Games should have already seen Tengda's summer promotion, right?
This weekend and next Monday would be three days in total. That would be enough for them to react.
He wondered what kind of summer promotion Finger Games would give in response.
He was looking forward to it!
…
…
June 25th, Monday …
Long Yu Corporation, conference room …
Eric looked very conflicted.
Zhao Xuming tried his best to lower his head and neck, minimizing his presence.
Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had already noticed it on GOG's official website on Saturday when they updated the details of the summer promotion.
Everyone was forced to work overtime this weekend.
The company's upper echelons might be the ones who made the final decision, but would the employees at the bottom be embarrassed to sleep at home when the upper echelons were working overtime at such a critical juncture?
Thus, they were all working overtime!
That was the thinking of ordinary companies.
As the person-in-charge of IOI in China, Eric had held several conference calls with Finger Games' headquarters in the United States and Dayak Corporation's headquarters in Europe over the past two days.
No one knew the contents of the meeting, but Zhao Xuming could tell that Eric's expression was getting worse.
Zhao Xuming was a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, the summer promotion event that Tengda Corporation had given this time was far less impressive than the 515 Games Festival.
The 515 Games Festival was a free event. As long as players spent some time and energy playing games, they would definitely gain something.
However, Tengda's summer promotion event this time was nothing more than a discount promotion and commemorative props. These were all very conventional methods.
This discount was indeed greater than the discount that Finger Games had originally planned for the summer promotion event. However, they would only officially announce the summer promotion event on Tuesday. Wouldn't it be fine to lower the discount a little?
Why was Eric so angry?
Zhao Xuming asked softly, "I don't see any big threat from the current summer promotion plan?"
Eric glanced at him and said helplessly, "On the surface, they are indeed very ordinary promotional plans."
"However, this summer promotion event is completely not in line with Boss Pei's usual style."
"Don't you want to think about why?"
Zhao Xuming blinked and thought about it carefully.
Indeed, this event was not in line with Boss Pei's style.
In the past, Boss Pei's activities, especially such promotions and money-burning activities, would definitely be earth-shattering and unexpected.
The operation of the 515 Games Festival was the standard 'Boss Pei operation'.
However, this summer promotion event only slightly adjusted the discount on the basis of the usual operation. There was no essential change.
This indeed did not seem like Boss Pei's operation.
Zhao Xuming thought for a moment. "Then … is there a possibility that Boss Pei is not actually in charge of this event?"
Eric glanced at him. "When you think that, you're not far from being fooled."
Zhao Xuming was suddenly alarmed.
That's right!
How smart and vicious was Boss Pei?
GOG and IOI had been fighting openly and secretly for so long. When had IOI suffered a huge loss without Boss Pei's conspiracy behind it?
Boss Pei had just personally guided the money-burning war on the 515 Games Festival and even almost sold the building. However, he did not care when it came to the summer promotion. He handed all the activity plans to his subordinates and did not even ask about them himself?
Was that reasonable? That did not make sense.
The only explanation could only be that Boss Pei did it on purpose.
Then, there must be a huge problem with this plan that did not seem like Boss Pei's style!
Zhao Xuming asked humbly, "But … what trap could there be?"
Eric explained exhaustedly, "Let's not talk about regular activities like discounts. Even though a 30% discount is completely close to the limit of what we can bear, this is already the plan with the least lethality."
"Have you noticed Tengda's promotion plan for the international market? The local operators can carry out publicity according to the actual situation. Tengda will reimburse half of the money no matter what publicity method is used. "
"That alone is enough to give us a headache!"
"GOG and IOI have chosen completely different promotion models. GOG works with local operators, while IOI is operated by Finger Games' branches around the world."
"GOG's current promotion method is actually for the local operators to pay for it and Tengda to pay for it. The more money the operators pay, the better the publicity effect, and the more Tengda will make up for it. "
"Therefore, the local operators will definitely think of ways to invest the most publicity resources so that they can maximize the benefits in this summer promotion event."
"However, on the other hand, IOI has to pay twice. What's more, they have to choose different strategies for the different publicity plans proposed by the various regional operating companies of GOG …"
