Pei Qian looked at the time after sending Meng Chang off. That was about the end of today's work.
He had to come again tomorrow, Saturday. This was because of the special arrangements for this year's National Day holiday.
The Mid-Autumn Festival this year was on September 30th, which was the Sunday the day after tomorrow. It happened to be the same as the National Day.
Thus, this year's holiday was a very rare eight-day long holiday. He had to work normally tomorrow and then from September 30th to October 7th.
He had to wait until October 8th to officially start work.
At first, Pei Qian had planned not to come tomorrow. He wanted to give himself a nine-day holiday to rest and relax. However, he had no choice. According to the original plan, the 'Gods Fantasy, Reaching the Peak Together' event that he was working with IOI would officially begin tomorrow.
The timing was quite coincidental. It happened to be the Golden Week long holiday.
In fact, Pei Qian felt that there was no need to rush this matter. He suggested that if there was not enough time to prepare, they could postpone it until after the festival.
However, IOI did not agree. Obviously, they felt that the Golden Week long holiday could produce a better chemical reaction with the event. They could use this opportunity to gain more popularity and did not want to give up so easily.
Thus, Pei Qian could only cooperate with them and let his employees work harder to make the event online tomorrow.
…
…
September 29th, Saturday, the last working day before the holiday …
This time, Pei Qian did not go to his office. Instead, he came to the floor of Tengda Games, prepared to find Min Jingchao to understand the preparations for the 'Gods Fantasy, Reaching the Peak' event and prevent any accidents in advance.
Pei Qian felt that the risk of this event was very low and it was unlikely that there would be any accidents, but it was necessary to observe more.
After all, the employees were about to go on holiday. Even if something really happened during the long holiday, it would be too late to change it.
He saw Yu Fei first as soon as he walked to the gaming department's office.
At that moment, the former web author, now the acting chief designer of Tengda Games, was looking at the design draft on the computer screen with a complicated expression, studying the relevant knowledge seriously.
Obviously, the splitting of Eternal Fallen Samsara had affected him to a certain extent.
Boss Pei had repeatedly emphasized that it was not a big mistake and that it was a blessing in disguise. However, Yu Fei obviously could not completely let it go.
He felt that his position was very important. If he did not do it well, it would affect others and even make his colleagues' efforts go to waste. Thus, he had been working hard to learn the relevant knowledge recently.
However, one could tell from his expression that it wasn't going well.
After all, game design was a highly specialized industry. People like Huang Sibo, Min Jingchao, and the others basically had the experience of being a basic executive planner before being promoted to a chief planner. Even though they were promoted a little too quickly, they were still industry insiders, so it wasn't too ridiculous.
Yu Fei, on the other hand, was at most a gaming enthusiast!
He was forcefully placed in the position of chief designer. Some simple problems were manageable, but slightly more complicated situations would be difficult to deal with.
The only good news for him was that Hu Xianbin would be back soon if he held on for a while longer.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with Yu Fei's current state.
This was clearly the scene he was looking forward to seeing!
Tengda Games had changed chief planners for so many years. Was it still useful? It's the same bottle in the same bottle!
No matter how the chief planner was changed, whether it was a man or a woman, no matter where he was promoted, the game would still be popular in the end. Who could he reason with?
Boss Pei had his reasons as well. What kind of people did you want me to lead? Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Hu Xianbin … each and every one of them was full of imagination. They were all multi-talented treasure trove employees. Previously, they did not stand out. They looked like ordinary executive planners.
Was he worthy of this ordinary position? No, he was too capable, you know?
Any one of the chief planners could create a good game that would go down in history. Why were they all gathered in Tengda Games?
However, everything was fine now. The script was finally normal after Yu Fei was replaced.
However, Pei Qian was still a little worried.
The main thing was that Hu Xianbin would be back in a month. Then, he would lose Yu Fei as a talent.
Let him go back to write?
That wouldn't do. He would be making money for Zhongdian Chinese Network while Hu Xianbin would be making money for Tengda Games. That would be a huge loss to Boss Pei.
Actually, according to the speed at which the chief planners of Tengda Games were replaced, Hu Xianbin should have left with the Dream Fund long ago.
However, something went wrong with the previous voting. His position had been swapped with Bao Xu's for no reason.
Pei Qian thought about it. The next voting would have to wait for another half a year. What's more, even if there was a vote, it might not be for Hu Xianbin.
He could only try to correct it manually.
He could find a reason to send Hu Xianbin away. Wouldn't Yu Fei stay?
Of course, Pei Qian could guess that Yu Fei would definitely reject it. However, that was easy to solve. Pei Qian only had to tell him that choosing the chief designer was a very important matter. He had to think about it carefully and use the 'delay' tactic. That would be enough.
He would let Yu Fei take over for now. Don't ask where the new chief planner was. If he did ask, he would know that the new chief planner was still being screened. Just hold on for one more month. Someone would be coming to replace you soon.
Yes, that was a good plan!
Satisfied, Pei Qian walked past Yu Fei, who was frowning and thinking hard about the design draft, and went to look for Min Jingchao.
On the other hand, Yu Fei did not know that his fate was already sealed. He was still looking forward to Hu Xianbin's return after the holidays. He would then be able to return to Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class and happily write the new book that he had been thinking about for a long time.
…
Min Jingchao quickly stood up when he saw Boss Pei.
"How's the preparation for the event with IOI?" Pei Qian asked.
Min Jingchao answered truthfully, "I'm almost done. The relevant functions have been completed, and the rewards for the event have been finalized. I'll announce it on the official website in a while."
In fact, Min Jingchao was very unhappy when he first found out about the details of the event.
Many of the contents might not be felt verbally, but it would be very obvious once it was put on paper and everything was clear.
It could be clearly seen from the terms of the cooperation between the two parties that Tengda's terms were a long list. What's more, each clause was very clear. It was difficult to be vague. On the other hand, the terms of Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation only had three or four simple clauses. What's more, they were all vague.
It was even more obvious from the number of pages. Tengda's relevant requirements and restrictions had four or five pages, while the other party only had one page.
In such a contract, the more vague the content, the more room for interpretation. There would be a lot of room for interpretation even if there was a lawsuit.
Min Jingchao's first impression of this contract was very bad. He even found it a little strange.
GOG was developing very well now. It could just organize its own activities to expand its user base. Did it need to get involved with IOI?
It was normal for the two games to not interact with each other, right?
However, after hearing that this was Boss Pei's request, Min Jingchao calmed down and thought about it. He felt that Boss Pei had other intentions.
Thus, he did as he was told without any objections.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with Min Jingchao's attitude. He briefly read through the announcement for this event and did not find any major problems.
Boss Pei had personally signed this unfair contract after all. His main goal was to give IOI blood transfusion. What big problems could there be?
"Alright, let's make the announcement."
"That's right, keep an eye on this event during the holidays. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
"I'll pay you three times the salary for working overtime during the holidays."
This was not a big job, and it would not affect profits much. It would help to discover problems immediately. What's more, he could pay them more. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
Min Jingchao nodded. "No problem, Boss Pei. This is my job!"
After Boss Pei left, Min Jingchao arranged for his subordinates to make an announcement. He also communicated with Zhao Xuming from Long Yu Corporation to prepare to officially update the client tonight and start the event.
Min Jingchao took a look at the players' reaction to the announcement after all these arrangements were made.
As expected, GOG's players were quite confused.
"Huh? Am I seeing things? GOG and IOI, these two sworn enemies, are actually organizing a joint event in my lifetime? "
"I'm shocked! What's more, they're encouraging us to play IOI? I'm afraid this event was arranged by a spy in the company, right? "
"Heh, IOI is already declining. Do we need to organize a joint event with them? With this money, we might as well cooperate with other types of game manufacturers. "
"I'm not going! I'm a loyal minister of GOG. How can I be a traitor? You want me to play IOI? No way! "
"But this reward is too generous. There's even skin for free."
"Huh? Really? Where is it? They're really giving me skin! I'll download IOI's client now … "
Some players did not understand and were even dissatisfied with the joint event between GOG and IOI. However, they immediately said that it was' delicious' and downloaded IOI's client once they heard that there were generous rewards.
On the other hand, IOI's gamers had a different style.
"Eh? There's a joint event with GOG? But that's all they're giving? That's too perfunctory! "
"Obviously, the official platform has no intention of letting us play GOG …"
"What's the point of this event, then?"
"It's very meaningful. GOG's players are coming over to play IOI, and the number of players will definitely increase. There are very few players on our local server to begin with, and we have to queue for more than three minutes to be matched. Now that the queue is faster, we'll meet more newbies, and the gaming experience will definitely improve!"
"In the long run, it's obviously beneficial to IOI!"
"However, I'm a little confused. The two games are said to be cooperating, but why does it look like they're trying their best to lure GOG's players over to our side from the rewards? Logically speaking, the rewards for both sides should be about the same, right? "
"I'm so envious of GOG's players … they can earn skins by playing IOI!"
"But we can still get rewards even if we don't go over!"
Obviously, IOI's players were in a blissful state of confusion.
According to the rules of the event, GOG's players would definitely be encouraged to come over to IOI to play. That would definitely improve the gaming experience of IOI's players. That was because the more players there were, the livelier it would be.
At the same time, GOG would give rewards, and so would IOI!
The difference was that GOG's players had to come to IOI to play for a certain amount of time and a certain number of rounds before they could receive rewards.
IOI's players were different. Their rewards were divided into two types.
The first was to go to GOG to obtain rewards, which were very perfunctory;
The second was to obtain rewards that could be obtained without doing anything. The richness was similar to GOG's rewards.
That was obviously Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation's careful plan.
The second type of reward was not in the content of the event, but it was opened at the same time as the event. It was to tie IOI's players down through the rewards so that they would not covet the rewards that GOG's players obtained in the event.
The first type of reward was purely for fulfilling the contract.
In other words, there were a few types of rewards for this event:
For GOG's players, they would first be able to receive a newbie reward from IOI when they played IOI. That was IOI's way to retain these new players. Secondly, they would be able to receive a reward when they returned to GOG. That was to induce players to play IOI.
For IOI's players, the rewards for playing GOG were very average and not very attractive, be it in GOG or IOI.
However, apart from the event, IOI's players could also obtain rewards from other events. It had nothing to do with this joint event, but the rewards were very generous. Obviously, it was a consolidation measure to prevent staff from leaving.
