That night, Long Yu Corporation.
Jin Yong arrived at the HR director's office and knocked gently.
"Boss Kang, you're looking for me?" Jin Yong was very cautious and did not dare to be negligent.
The HR director of Long Yu Corporation was the Senior Vice President of the Human Resources and Administrative Department. He was directly in charge of the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of all the person-in-charge of the group. He reported directly to the boss and was definitely of high status and authority. Many of his words often represented the boss's intentions.
The matter of Zhao Xuming being poached by Tengda had been discussed by the higher-ups and asked Boss Kang to handle it.
Jin Yong took over Zhao Xuming's position. He was lower than Boss Kang in terms of rank and experience. Naturally, he had to be more polite.
"You're here? Have a seat. "
Boss Kang gestured for Jin Yong to sit on the sofa beside him and asked, "How's the matter with IOI going?"
Jin Yong was a little puzzled. Why was Boss Kang asking this?
However, he still answered truthfully, "It's going quite smoothly. FV Team's champion skin has been created. I took a look. The quality is excellent, and the members of FV Team are very satisfied. According to the original plan, it will be updated with our Chinese New Year version. "
Boss Kang nodded slightly. "Yes, you shouldn't have any work to do next, right?"
Jin Yong was a little confused. "Er … That's right. Finger Games doesn't have any work arrangements in the near future. The company's notice to our project team … is also a normal holiday?"
To be precise, the rest of IOI's operations and cooperation department had already left. Some were on tomorrow's train, while others had already left this afternoon. Of course, Chrétien had no reason to stay. He had already flown away on a vacation.
Only Jin Yong was called over by Boss Kang.
Boss Kang smiled. "To tell you the truth, the operations team of Bullet Hole 2 is already complete. All the preparations have been completed. We're just short of a person in charge."
"The company's leaders have discussed briefly and decided that you're the most suitable person for this position."
"As for IOI's operations and cooperation department, we've already prepared a replacement for you. You don't have to worry about it."
Jin Yong was stunned. "Huh?"
He had long known that Long Yu Corporation was building an operations team for Bullet Hole 2. He also knew that the game was being developed and might be released around Chinese New Year. However, he did not expect him to be the person-in-charge of the operations team!
Jin Yong was still the person-in-charge of IOI's operations and cooperation department after all. He was doing quite well and had not made any mistakes. How could he be changed just like that?
Moreover, the person who replaced him was someone who was inferior to him in both ability and position.
Unless …
The company's higher-ups already have a clear preference?
Director Kang smiled. "This isn't a secret, so there's no need to hide it from you. The company was now placing more importance on Bullet Hole 2 than on IOI. During this Spring Festival, we will pay close attention to the data of these two games. After all, the company's publicity resources are limited. We can't waste them on insignificant projects. "
Jin Yong was shocked.
What do you mean by "insignificant projects"?
Any project that was not profitable or not popular enough was an insignificant project!
Obviously, Long Yu Corporation had tolerated IOI for a long time.
Long Yu Corporation had spent a lot of publicity resources on this project ever since they had spent a lot of effort to obtain the operating rights of IOI from Finger Games. However, the returns were not high. They did not meet the initial expectations of the upper echelons.
Previously, Long Yu Corporation did not have any good projects on hand. Even though they knew that IOI could not do it, they could only pinch their noses and force it on.
After all, no matter how bad IOI was, it was still more influential and profitable than some domestic companies' games.
What else could they do but give it a push?
However, the situation was different now.
Boss Pei had come up with ideas and designers. He had led Sun Strike Studios to develop Bullet Hole 2!
Humans liked the new and hated the old.
Obviously, Long Yu Corporation was not sure if this game could succeed, and it was impossible for them to give up on IOI all at once. Thus, they decided to use the opportunity of the Spring Festival to give the two of them a chance to compete head-on.
If Bullet Hole 2 could not do it, there would be no need to talk about it. However, if Bullet Hole 2 crushed IOI, then sorry, the publicity resources would have to be tilted towards Bullet Hole 2 in the future.
Long Yu Corporation was not a charity company after all. There were only so many publicity resources. They would definitely try their best to give as many profitable projects as possible.
Jin Yong hesitated. "Boss Kang, isn't this inappropriate? I didn't participate in the preparations for Bullet Hole 2 at all. Now, I'm going to be the person-in-charge. This … "
Boss Kang smiled. "It's alright. With your qualifications, you're qualified for the Bullet Hole 2 project. Actually, if Zhao Xuming hadn't left, this position would be the most suitable for him. However, he has already gone to Tengda. "
"What's more, we don't have much say in the operations of Bullet Hole 2 this time. There's not much we can do."
"In this regard … I hope you can ask Zhao Xuming in private. He has been working in Tengda for a period of time. He should have more experience in this area."
Jin Yong understood why he was chosen to be the person-in-charge.
On one hand, it was because he was indeed qualified and capable. However, more importantly, it was because he had a good personal relationship with Zhao Xuming!
On the other hand, Tengda had the right to operate Bullet Hole 2. When they signed the contract previously, it was already stated that Boss Pei had absolute authority. Tengda had the final say on how the game was developed. Sun Strike Studios was only responsible for providing manpower. Tengda had the final say on how the game was operated. Long Yu Corporation was only responsible for marketing resources.
This working model was actually a little similar to IOI's operations department. However, the partner had changed from Finger Games to Tengda Corporation.
If he wanted to understand Tengda Corporation's operational strategy more deeply, he had to get in touch with Tengda Corporation. Zhao Xuming happened to be in charge of this business in Tengda Corporation, and Jin Yong happened to be very familiar with Zhao Xuming …
If it was anyone else, Zhao Xuming might not have bothered with them.
Jin Yong nodded. "Alright, Boss Kang. I'll definitely complete the mission!"
…
The next day, Jin Yong moved to the work desk of Bullet Hole 2's operations team.
There were some old acquaintances in the operations team, but there were also some new faces. However, everyone was very polite to him. Obviously, they were more convinced that he was the person-in-charge.
"Boss Jin, I've already forwarded the operation requirements from Tengda Corporation to your email," said the employee in charge of liaising with Tengda Corporation and Sun Strike Studios.
Jin Yong nodded. "Alright, I'll take a look later."
After a simple handover, Jin Yong returned to his desk and sat down. He opened the operation requirements.
However, Jin Yong could not help but frown after reading it from beginning to end.
"This … is too simple, isn't it?"
Jin Yong was considered very experienced in Long Yu Corporation. He had taken over and operated more than two digits of games. Although some of them were directly in charge, and some were just assistants, no matter what, the number of operation plans he had seen could be said to be as many as the hairs on a cow.
However, looking at the operation requirements sent by Tengda …
It was too simple!
It clearly stated the price of the various appearances in the game. The so-called appearance included the appearance of the entire set of skin, as well as the skin of the firearms and other props.
Among them, the appearance of the entire set was obviously the most expensive. That was because there were professions in the game. For example, the doctor profession. There were ordinary male military doctors, beautiful female nurses, and female medical doctors who looked both good and evil. All in all, the skin was still very outstanding.
Many of these characters were female. Obviously, the designers and artists of Sun Strike Studios understood the XP of LSP very well.
What's more, Bullet Hole 2 had two modes: TPS and FPS. In other words, they could freely choose between first-person or third-person. These skins would obviously be a very important profit point.
However, all the paid content, including the character skins and firearms skins, were sold very cheaply. It could be said to be a cabbage price!
Not only that, Tengda's operation requirements also clearly stated that they could only give discounts and not recommend anything else.
What were the other activities? It was very simple. Paid lucky draws, sign-in rewards, pay-to-win rebates, mysterious shops, paid passes, and so on. These were all included in the category of 'other activities'.
In other words, apart from selling skins and giving discounts, there were no other activities in the game.
"This …"
Jin Yong scratched his head, a little confused.
There was no place for him to put his skills to use at all!
