November 5th, Monday.
Pei Qian came to the office as usual, prepared to flip through the reports of the various departments and pay close attention to the situation of the recruitment.
With the influence of that booklet, would the new hires be different?
Of course, Pei Qian knew that this way of thinking might be too optimistic, but it was not a problem to look forward to some changes.
Moreover, Wu Bin went back after being bullied. It was unknown how he was reflecting.
It would be best if he could change the mindset of this group of people in the HR department. If he couldn't … then he could only think of another way.
Pei Qian began to think about how to correct everyone's understanding of the Tengda spirit and correct the direction they had gone in.
However, this matter could not be rushed. After all, if he used too much force, it might skew even more.
As for what to do, they had to think about it at length.
Just as he was pondering, there was a knock on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Zhao Xuming.
"Eh?"
He could not help but feel surprised.
That was because he knew very well that Zhao Xuming was used to trying his best to reduce his presence. He would usually let Eric take over when reporting work or asking for instructions. He did not do it himself often.
Moreover, this report was clearly not a routine one.
Under such circumstances, it could be said that it was quite rare for them to take the initiative to approach him.
Zhao Xuming was obviously a little uneasy as well. This was the first time he was reporting to Boss Pei one-on-one ever since he joined Tengda. It was inevitable that he was nervous.
In the past, Eric had always been present. With Eric bearing the pressure, it was more comfortable for him to stay at the back and play support peacefully.
However, now that he had to face Boss Pei himself, he could not help but feel a little nervous. He was afraid that Boss Pei would catch him saying the wrong thing.
"What's the matter?" Pei Qian asked.
Zhao Xuming nodded. "Boss Pei, I've already sent the live-stream plan for GOG's international invitational tournament to your email, but you haven't replied. That's why I'm here to ask if this plan is feasible."
Pei Qian was confused.
Global finals?
Livestream proposal?
Oh, right. Judging from the time, it was indeed time for the International Invitational Tournament.
Pei Qian really did not pay attention to these things because he had too many departments to pay attention to.
Of course, strictly speaking, if Pei Qian really wanted to squeeze out time to understand the situation of all the departments, he could still do it.
But he did not want to do that.
Because he was too tired!
His goal was just to lose some money. Why should he work so hard?
Wouldn't it be a loss if something went wrong?
Therefore, from the beginning, Pei Qian had been working hard to build the independence of each department so that they could operate normally without his instructions.
Even if the heads of these departments made mistakes, Pei Qian never criticized them. Instead, he praised them.
Pei Qian felt that the best situation would be for the heads of the various departments to boldly seek death without having to consult him on everything. However, when he wanted to intervene, these people in charge would strictly follow his instructions.
Over time, the various departments had been used to arrange work without Boss Pei's instructions.
. "Pei had" Pei's "." Qian had said, "Pei's, I '''s Pei's to's to.
"Pei has has has." to "to," to "to". s, Pei Pei's. "Boss"
Pei Qian flipped through the previous emails on his computer and realized that preparations for GOG's second international invitational tournament had started a long time ago. Zhang Yuan's E-Sports Department was mainly in charge of the preparations, and Min Jingchao was cooperating with them.
After Eric and Zhao Xuming joined Tengda Corporation, some work was naturally transferred to them.
At this point in time, everything that needed to be decided had already been decided. There were only a few minor details that needed to be finalized.
There was a lot of content, and Pei Qian decided not to read it.
It was more convenient for Zhao Xuming to report directly.
"How's the international invitational tournament? I didn't pay much attention to this. Tell me briefly. "Pei Qian said confidently.
Zhao Xuming was a little surprised.
Huh?
Boss Pei didn't pay attention to this at all?
That's not right. Didn't they say that Boss Pei had always been observant and observant? Didn't he know everything about Tengda Corporation like the back of his hand?
What's more, this was GOG's international invitational tournament. It directly determined next year's GOG and IOI competition.
Boss Pei didn't pay attention to such a big thing?
That's not right, right?
Oh, I understand now.
There could only be two possibilities. One was that Boss Pei thought that GOG's international invitational tournament was a sure win and was very confident. Thus, he did not need to pay too much attention to it. He should focus on other departments that were more worthy of attention. Thus, he only had a rough understanding and did not delve into it.
The other possibility was that Boss Pei knew that I just took over and wanted to test me on purpose to see how well I understood this aspect of work. He especially wanted to take this opportunity to listen to my understanding of GOG's esports business.
Of these two possibilities, the latter was obviously more likely, but it could also be both.
Zhao Xuming did not dare to be careless.
Boss Pei said that he did not pay attention, but that did not mean that he really did not pay attention. Boss Pei asked him to give a simple explanation, but that was not all.
He deliberated for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, from what I understand, GOG's second international invitational tournament is obviously a key link to consolidate and further expand the market share.
"The esports department obviously attached great importance to this. Thus, this year's international invitational tournament is no longer about stabilizing their position. Instead, they chose to take the initiative to attack: from the first tournament's venue, Jingzhou, to Europe.
"This time, we will hold the competition in three cities in Europe: the group stage in Paris, the elimination round in London, and the finals in Berlin.
"This time, the international invitational tournament was held under the strong request and strong support of the local operators. The esports department was also involved in the entire planning and preparation of the tournament. It should be a feast for players around the world!
"Coincidentally, Finger Games also set the venue for IOI's global finals in Europe. Obviously, both sides think that the European market is a place to fight for.
"I think the esports department's decision is very correct! It can also be considered a solid foundation for GOG to further expand into the overseas market in the future.
"Next, GOG's primary goal is to accelerate its expansion into the overseas market on the premise of consolidating the domestic market. We will strive to seize the global MOBA game market share as soon as possible and achieve overall victory!"
Zhao Xuming briefly introduced GOG's second international invitational tournament and added some of his own understanding.
In his opinion, it was obvious that they had reached the stage of a comprehensive strategic counterattack.
GOG and IOI had been engaged in a protracted tug-of-war for more than a year. IOI might have the backing of Dayak Corporation, had a high starting point, and had never been defeated by a series of heavy blows, but it was now in a state of decline.
Given Boss Pei's ruthlessness, he would definitely not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That was why he wanted to 'chase after a cornered enemy' and decide the outcome with one battle.
Of course, Boss Pei might not have participated in the actual rules of the international invitational tournament, but the general policy was definitely set by Boss Pei.
The esports department and Min Jingchao must have come up with such a plan for the international invitational tournament under Boss Pei's general policy.
Zhao Xuming looked at Boss Pei nervously after speaking.
He did not know if he was right, if his vision was high enough, or if he had missed anything.
Pei Qian, on the other hand, fell silent.
It sounded like a good thing to hold the competition in Europe.
After all, it should cost more to hold it overseas.
The first international invitational tournament was held in Jingzhou. What's more, it was played in the venue of the GPL regular season. How much money could that cost?
They would have to rent some large stadiums to hold it in Europe. That would definitely cost a lot of money.
However, the key problem was that according to Zhao Xuming, the international invitational tournament was held 'under the strong request and support of the local operators'.
GOG's foreign regional servers worked with local operators, and they were all more powerful local operators.
Since it was strongly requested and supported by the European operators, it meant that the competition would not only be huge, but it would also have more advantages than disadvantages!
Of course, the European operators hoped that a huge competition like the international invitational tournament would be held in their own home ground. That would be of great significance to GOG's further expansion into the European market.
Who knew how many new players in Europe would be lured into the trap when the promotional materials were released?
What worried Pei Qian even more was Zhao Xuming's words.
The words' complete victory 'especially made Pei Qian feel a little uncomfortable.
It could not be a complete victory!
How was this a complete victory? It was obviously interdependent!
If IOI was gone, who else could stop GOG from making money?
Pei Qian felt a headache at that thought. It was as if he saw the countdown to death.
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian knew that there was no good solution now. After all, these plans had been prepared for months in advance. It was impossible to change them without a suitable reason.
"Yes, I understand.
"Tell me your problem, then. What live-stream plan?"
Pei Qian decided not to dwell on the details of the international invitational tournament. In any case, he would do whatever he wanted.
Finger Games was not stupid. They would probably work hard to organize the IOI International Finals. It should not be too far off.
Zhao Xuming was a little confused. Was Boss Pei satisfied or dissatisfied with what I said just now?
Did I say the perfect answer in Boss Pei's heart?
Probably not. Otherwise, Boss Pei would at least nod and praise me, right?
However, there should not be any big problems. Otherwise, Boss Pei would have corrected me.
In other words, there was no big problem, but it was not outstanding either.
Alright, that's more or less the goal I'm pursuing.
Zhao Xuming did not dwell too much on this matter. In any case, he just had to pass. The key to the golden mean was not to be in the limelight but not to take the blame.
"Eric and I have just taken over GOG's work. Eric is more familiar with the European business, so I let him work on the international invitational tournament."
"I've taken on more work according to your previous request. It's mainly related to the domestic operations and promotion."
"Several live-stream platforms are fighting for the exclusive broadcast rights of GOG's international invitational tournament this time. Among them, Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream are the most expensive. They are already on the verge of breaking a hundred million yuan."
"Therefore, there are actually three plans for the domestic broadcast rights. The first is to choose one of the two big live-stream platforms, Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream, to sell the exclusive broadcast rights. The exclusive broadcast rights should be able to break a hundred million yuan;"
"The second is to sell the broadcast rights to a few more companies and collect thirty to forty million yuan from each company. The final amount of money might not be much different;"
"The third is to consider the situation of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. If you want to convert more users for Bunny Tail Live-Stream, you can not sell this exclusive broadcast rights. You can let your own platform broadcast it exclusively. I just don't know if it can handle so much popularity."
"What's more, Bunny Tail Live-Stream is different from other live-stream platforms. It's not something that can be watched just by clicking on it. You have to watch it in the learning area for a certain amount of time. Would you be scolded if you broadcast it exclusively? That's a problem."
Zhao Xuming definitely did not dare to make the decision himself. After all, this concerned Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
What if Boss Pei wanted to take this opportunity to promote Bunny Tail Live-Stream but sold the exclusive broadcast rights to other live-stream platforms? Wouldn't that disrupt Boss Pei's entire plan?
Zhao Xuming would not dare to make the decision even if he was given a hundred guts.
If not for the fact that Boss Pei had not replied to his email and that time was tight, he would not have taken the initiative to ask for advice.
It could only be said that Zhao Xuming had been forced into a corner to do such a thing that went against his personality.
Pei Qian fell silent again.
These three options were a little direct to his soul …
Was the exclusive broadcasting rights for GOG's global finals already so expensive?
Pei Qian's impression was still stuck at the price of the broadcasting rights for the GPL Spring Competition. At that time, the broadcasting rights given by the live-stream platform were about 12 million yuan per company. However, that was a broadcast, not an exclusive broadcast.
GOG's international invitational tournament far surpassed the GPL Spring Competition in terms of scale and attention. What's more, Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream had survived from many live-stream platforms back then. After a few rounds of financing, they were not lacking in money.
These two live-stream platforms were definitely determined to win a large-scale competition like GOG's international invitational tournament in order to further expand their influence.
It would be best if they could snatch the exclusive broadcasting rights. If they could not, they would at least have to buy the broadcasting rights.
What's more, they were really not very sensitive to price. They would probably still buy it even if it was more expensive.
After all, if they did not buy it and others bought it, wouldn't it seem that their platform did not have much money and was about to fail?
This was just like many wealthy businessmen. Perhaps the economic situation this year was indeed not good, but they still had to have the necessary extravagance. Otherwise, it would convey a bad message to the outside world.
Pei Qian casually calculated with his fingers. If these two platforms were to bid for exclusive broadcasting rights or broadcasting rights, it would not be a small figure!
Zhao Xuming suggested a third plan. He would not sell it at all and let Bunny Tail Live-Stream it alone.
It sounded like a pretty good plan because he would definitely be scolded.
What's more, he would definitely have to spend a lot of money to increase the platform's bandwidth in order to cope with such a huge traffic.
However, the problem was that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was quite good now. Pei Qian was quite satisfied with it.
Wouldn't he suffer a double loss if the global finals were to be forcefully taken away by Bunny Tail Live-Stream?
That was really a dilemma.
