(The name of the platform has been changed to Morning Dew Gaming Platform. I really did not expect the four words, painting, rouge, carving, and ice, to be so distorted …)
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that Tang Yishu was very suitable.
He could not wait to start the gaming platform and lose money now!
However, it was not that simple to start a gaming platform. He had to apply for the corresponding qualifications from the official platform, have a sum of start-up funds, rent a server, and create the official platform's operating system …
All in all, he still needed some preparation work.
However, these were all problems that could be easily solved for the current Tengda.
Professional matters could be done by professionals. Tengda did not lack professionals in this area. He could randomly transfer some people from the various departments to be Tang Yishu's tools and ensure that the gaming platform could run normally.
The only difficult thing was how to hide this matter as much as possible so that no one knew about the relationship between Morning Dew Gaming Platform and Tengda.
At that thought, Pei Qian sent Tang Yishu a message and asked her to come to his office.
Not long after, Tang Yishu knocked on the door gently. "Senior, are you looking for me?"
Pei Qian could not help but smile when he saw Tang Yishu.
"Come, take a seat."
Little Tang had not been used for a long time. The main reason was that Pei Qian wanted to place her on Tengda Games' side to maximize her effectiveness.
That was because Tengda Games' games department's games projects were often the most expensive and risky. Letting Tang Yishu take charge could affect two important projects, Mission and Choice and GOG.
Thus, Pei Qian had tried his best to avoid sending her out for the past six months. He hoped that he could drag Mission and Choice and GOG down.
From the looks of it, the results were not very obvious.
Of course, it might have already been effective, but Pei Qian could not tell.
Mission and Choice might have become popular and GOG had been developing smoothly. On the surface, Tang Yishu did not seem to have played much role, but perhaps … without Tang Yishu, these two projects would have become even more ridiculously popular?
He had to admit that there was still such a possibility.
Now that Mission and Choice had officially been released, everything had been settled. It was time for Tang Yishu to play a role in more critical areas.
"I plan to transfer you to a new position."
"Tengda is going to open a new gaming platform. What do you think about working there?"
Tang Yishu's first reaction was to shake her head. "I can't, Senior. I don't know anything about games."
Pei Qian smiled. "It's alright. This job doesn't require a deep understanding of games."
"Based on your experience in Tengda over the past year, you should be qualified for this job."
"Even if we encounter some small problems, we can slowly explore and learn."
Tang Yishu thought about it and nodded. "Alright then, Senior. I'll go there with the mindset of learning. Who's my direct superior? "
Pei Qian pointed at himself. "Me."
"Ah?" Tang Yishu was a little confused. "I mean, shouldn't I be working under the person in charge of the gaming platform when I go there for an internship? Who's in charge? "
Pei Qian pointed at her. "You."
Tang Yishu looked incredulous. "Me? Didn't I go there for my internship? "
Pei Qian shook his head. "Who said anything about an internship? I wanted you to be in charge there from the beginning. "
Tang Yishu blushed and waved her hands. "No, Senior. How can I be in charge? I don't know anything. What's more, I'm only in Year Two! "
Pei Qian did not mind. "So what if you're in Year Two?"
"By the time I was in Year Two, I was already in charge of hundreds of employees in Tengda and creating several games."
Tang Yishu quickly said, "How can I compare to you, Senior? I really don't know anything about games. What's more, I have to learn …"
Pei Qian scoffed in his heart. Do you think I understand games?
If I did, would I have created one popular game after another?
What's more, I'm looking for you because you don't understand games!
Pei Qian had already expected Tang Yishu to reject him. Thus, he had prepared an excuse in advance. "Trust me, you'll definitely have no problem.
"Everyone from Tengda can take charge of things on their own!
"What's more, this job is not as difficult as you think. It's actually very simple.
"I'll transfer some employees to help you. You can ask them directly if you don't understand anything. What's more, you can look for me if you really can't handle it. What's there to worry about?
"As for your learning task …
"This job won't be very busy. You can just take some time out to deal with it. What's more, a top student like you would still get a scholarship even if you study two hours less every day. It won't affect you. "
Tang Yishu pinched her fingers and struggled for a while. Finally, she nodded. "Alright, Senior, I'll give it a try.
"However, I have a request. Can you let me pick someone I'm familiar with to go with me? If I can't, I can let her replace me. "
Pei Qian nodded. "No problem."
Although he said it was no problem, Pei Qian thought to himself that it was impossible for her to replace her.
How could I rest assured if someone else was in charge of this gaming platform?
However, Pei Qian also knew that the success rate of forcing someone to do something beyond their abilities was not high. He had to try his best to satisfy Little Tang's request.
In any case, he would trick her into being the person-in-charge first. It would be difficult for her to get off once she got on board.
"I'll briefly explain the situation of this gaming platform. Take note of it."
Tang Yishu quickly said, "Wait a minute, Senior. I'll go get a notebook."
She quickly got up and left the office. A moment later, she returned with a notebook.
Pei Qian nodded. Yes, a good memory was not as good as a bad pen. It was always right to remember things clearly.
Although this gaming platform was quite casual, he still had to explain some basic rules to Little Tang.
These rules could ensure that the gaming platform could be hidden for a longer time and burn more money.
"First, you have to register a new company. Tengda will invest through Dream Realization Ventures for 70% of the shares. The remaining 30% of the shares will be held by all the core employees of the new company.
"Don't reveal the relationship between this company and Tengda to the public. Don't have any connections with Tengda's various industries.
"For example, don't put Tengda's games on the shelves, don't put them on TPDb, don't do joint publicity with Tengda's peripheral industries, and so on.
"It's not just you. All the employees of the platform have to remember this.
"As for why … don't ask now. You'll understand in the future."
Pei Qian had thought for a long time about how to sever the relationship between the new industry and Tengda.
Tengda's funds would definitely have to enter these industries.
It would be easier to be exposed if it was a wholly-owned subsidiary. However, what if it was a company invested by Dream Realization Ventures?
That would be relatively easy to hide!
For example, Che Rong's Starbird Fitness and the other companies invested by Dream Realization Ventures … most people would not see them as part of Tengda.
After all, Dream Realization Ventures was not picky at all. It had invested in too many companies, and there was no lack of mediocre companies.
In that case, wouldn't hiding the new industry in the companies invested by Dream Realization Ventures greatly reduce the risk of being discovered?
If he deliberately instructed all the employees to keep it a secret, just like Qiu Hong's Destitution Plan, the possibility of being discovered would be further reduced.
The TPDb website was a hidden danger. After all, it had an employee entrance, and Tengda's various departments could be found on it. However, if it was not a wholly-owned subsidiary, it would not appear on the TPDb website.
There was no website like the Sky Eye now. It would be difficult for ordinary netizens to dig out the relationship between Morning Dew Gaming Platform and Tengda Corporation if they did not get to the bottom of it.
Tang Yishu did not ask further. She lowered her head and recorded in her notebook.
Pei Qian continued. "There's also the issue of the division of games and the trial period …"
Simply put, the games on the shelves would be divided fifty-fifty. All games would have to go through a one-week trial period. If the trial period was over, it would be taken off the shelves and refunded.
Tang Yishu wrote halfway and stopped.
"Senior, I don't really understand this.
"It's easy to understand the fifty-fifty division and the trial period.
"However, if the trial period is not over, does that mean that gamers will not be able to play the game and can only get half of the money back?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "Of course not.
"The game has a refund time limit. If gamers do not exceed the refund time limit, such as playing for only two hours, they will go through the normal refund process and get a full refund.
"However, if they exceed the refund time limit, it means that gamers have already experienced the fun of the game and even the most interesting part of the game. It would definitely be unfair to the manufacturer to refund the game in full at this time.
"Therefore, half of the money will be given to gamers and the other half to the manufacturer. It means that gamers can buy the game at half price and keep it in their game library even though it is of poor quality and has to be taken off the shelves. That way, both gamers and manufacturers will not lose out. "
No matter who he gave it to, he could not leave a platform for himself.
If he gave it all to gamers, it would be too attractive to them. If he gave it all to the manufacturer, it would be attractive to the manufacturer as well. The effect of dissuading them would not be obvious. Therefore, Pei Qian decided to split it into two halves. That way, he could dissuade both gamers and manufacturers.
Tang Yishu nodded to show that she understood.
However, she quickly raised a new question.
"But if that's the case, if gamers do not recommend all the games and take all the trial period games off the shelves, wouldn't that be equivalent to buying games at half price?"
Pei Qian almost laughed out loud.
There's such a good thing?
You're too optimistic. I don't even dare to think about such a thing!
Obviously, Little Tang was still too naive. She did not understand the tricks behind this.
Pei Qian explained, "Such people definitely exist, but they would not be the mainstream of the gamer community.
"Consider this more extreme situation. Gamers would crazily give bad reviews during the trial period in order to buy an excellent game at half price and take it off the shelves. "Then, the problem would be that the game would not be updated on our platform. There would be no subsequent downloadable content. Moreover, gamers would not be able to buy the game in the future even if they wanted to.
"Therefore, if you think that a game is excellent and want to play it for a long time, it's best not to take it off the shelves. If you think that a game is not that good and you would not lose anything by taking it off the shelves, you can vote to take it off the shelves.
"We will not induce gamers to make choices. Gamers will make their own choices and bear the consequences.
"Most players are still able to distinguish between immediate and long-term benefits," Lu Li said.
