After returning to Jingzhou, the matters at Finger Games came to an end for the time being. Boss Pei had already handed everything to Eric to handle.
Meng Chang still had to return to his original job and continue to publicize Tengda's various departments.
The first thing he did when he came to Tengda's headquarters this time was to report to Boss Pei. The second thing was to continue receiving missions from Boss Pei.
Meng Chang was still quite energetic even though he was tired from the journey. On one hand, it was because he had been in first class and had ample rest. On the other hand, it was also because Meng Chang felt that the work he was doing now was very meaningful. Naturally, he was filled with motivation.
Meng Chang planned to go to Boss Pei's office directly.
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was in his office checking on the situation of the Initial Relief Plan.
"What the hell?!"
"Why are there so many donations?!"
"Didn't I keep it strictly confidential? What's more, there are no rewards! "
"It's one thing for familiar faces like Li Shi and Zhou Muyan to donate, but why are there people donating? Someone even donated two million yuan at once? "
"Boss Pei's disciple? When the f * ck did I take in such a traitorous disciple? Why didn't I know! "
Pei Qian looked at the list of donations and was shocked.
It was like a bolt from the blue, striking him until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Wasn't this just an ordinary charity event?
What was going on now?
The total amount of donations received was already tens of millions!
Not only that, but several companies had also raised the request for business cooperation, hoping to develop in-depth cooperation with Tengda. These cooperation would probably make Tengda money again.
How could this be?
At first, Pei Qian had wanted to add a little commercial elements to the Initial Relief Plan only because he could avoid the restrictions of the System's rules and burn more publicity funds. Pei Qian had not considered the donations from other companies at all.
This was a highly confidential charity event! It was a charity event that did not have any returns at all! Even if other companies participated, they would not have raised so much money, right?
However, reality had slapped Pei Qian hard in the face now.
It was fine if it was those companies that had been working with him for a long time, but the personal donation of this' Boss Pei's disciple 'was the most ridiculous!
Who was this Boss Pei's disciple?
He felt that this was a very dangerous person. However, according to the staff, this person did not seem to be an employee of Tengda. He was someone who had nothing to do with Tengda.
Pei Qian was very puzzled. His public image was probably just the back of his head. How could he nurture such strong believers? Not only did he get the news about the First Aid Program, but he also decisively donated two million in his own name?
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was too bizarre.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.
Meng Chang had arrived.
Pei Qian kept the report on the Initial Salvation Plan temporarily. "You're back? Is everything done over there? "
Meng Chang nodded. "Yes, it's basically done. Eric has already gone to Finger Games to take over. But … "
He paused for a moment and said, "Charles and some of the higher-ups of Finger Games still refused to trade shares. Although we can fire them, it will be difficult to get back the shares in their hands."
"They firmly believe that Finger Games' stock price will rise. That is indeed the case. Ever since the news of our acquisition of Finger Games spread, Finger Games' shares have been rising. "
"In addition, Eric has also started preparing for IOI's first money-spilling event according to your instructions, Boss Pei. This has also further pushed the stock price up."
Pei Qian nodded slightly. These were all predictable.
At the moment, most people in the outside world still thought that Finger Games' stock price would continue to rise.
There were many reasons. For example, Tengda must have been optimistic about Finger Games' future profits when it acquired Finger Games. It was impossible for them to spend money on a loss-making purchase. For example, Tengda knew more about games than Dayak Corporation, and its operating strategy would definitely be better.
Other than that, some phenomena also proved this guess. For example, Boss Pei had sent Eric, who had originally been in charge of IOI's local server, to parachute into Finger Games to take over and reorganize it. He did not send other more capable designers under him. This might mean that Boss Pei was mainly trying to appease Finger Games and did not intend to completely fall out with them. He still wanted to continue using the higher-ups of Finger Games for a period of time.
Another example was that after Tengda took over IOI, the first thing it did was to conduct large-scale money-spilling and welfare activities to give back to players like GOG. This did not look like it was trying to squeeze IOI dry quickly.
At first, many people were worried that Tengda's acquisition of Finger Games was just to make IOI a stepping stone for GOG. However, it did not look like that now.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Tengda wanted to carry out a steady reform of Finger Games. In the short term, the number of active users of IOI would increase rapidly, and the prospects would be optimistic. This was the judgment given by the capital market, as well as the judgment of Charles and the other executives.
Of course, most of these thoughts were actually misunderstandings.
Pei Qian nodded. "I understand."
Meng Chang said, "Then, Boss Pei, which project should we do for this month's publicity plan?"
Pei Qian thought about it for a moment. He really had not thought about it.
After all, this cycle had just begun. Many projects had not officially started or had just officially started. It would take at least a few months for the results to be produced. There was indeed no good publicity plan for Meng Chang now.
However, on further thought, wasn't IOI just right for a publicity plan?
At that thought, Pei Qian said, "I'll do a publicity plan for IOI this month. However, before that, I have to make some changes to Finger Games. "
"I'll explain it to you briefly. Remember it well and pass it on to Eric later."
Pei Qian had wanted to call Eric at first and ask him to listen to it together. However, on further thought, it was late at night in the United States. It would be a little inhumane to wake Eric up and listen to such a few words before going to sleep.
Thus, he would let Meng Chang find a work time that coincided with that of the United States.
This method was not particularly worth keeping confidential. Pei Qian could not wait for the entire world to know about it as soon as possible.
Meng Chang took it very seriously and quickly nodded. "Boss Pei, please speak."
Pei Qian sorted out his thoughts and said, "First, fire all the upper echelons of Finger Games!"
"Executives like Chrétien who came from a designer background or an art background can stay. However, they can only retain their treatment and not their real power. They can no longer interfere with the company's operations and become design director or art director."
"Leave behind the designers, art directors, and other business backbones of Finger Games and restore the structure of a studio."
"In the future, Finger Games will only be responsible for the design of heroes and skins, as well as the balance of values. They will not be responsible for anything else."
"And then …"
"All members of the GOG project team will temporarily put aside the development of the new version for a period of time and focus on studying the merger of GOG and IOI. Finger Games will cooperate unconditionally!"
"The merger will still be based on GOG's gameplay. We will fine-tune IOI's hero mechanism and value balance so that it can better adapt to GOG's game mechanism. Of course, if some of IOI's mechanisms are better and worth keeping, and GOG can be compatible with each other as long as it does not affect the core fun, then we can change GOG's mechanism slightly. "
"All in all, there's only one goal for the GOG project team next. That is to promote the full merger of GOG and IOI from the game to the various servers and all the leagues!"
"We can't delay this matter for too long. We have to set a clear timeline. We can transplant a portion of IOI heroes first and then slowly transplant more in the future."
"We have to strive to complete the goal of merging the two games before the end of this year!"
"After the merger, the GOG project team will be mainly responsible for the update and balance of the game mechanism, the development of heroes with oriental cultural backgrounds, and the operations of the Asian server. Finger Games will be mainly responsible for the development of heroes with western cultural backgrounds, as well as the operations of the European and Northern American servers."
"Ask Eric to make this news public. There's no need to hide it. Also, let all players see Tengda's determination!"
Pei Qian said it casually, but Meng Chang's heart skipped a beat.
He finally understood why Boss Pei said that Finger Games' stock price would plummet soon. Obviously, this was the reason!
How could Finger Games' stock price not plummet? The confidence of the capital market would probably shatter into pieces, right?
However, the problem was … there was no need to do this just to hit the confidence of the capital market and cause Finger Games' shares to plummet!
It was too hurtful. The losses outweighed the gains!
There were actually quite a lot of options if it was just to prevent Charles and the others from benefiting from the stock price. For example, they could just expose some negative news like Charles. Of course, they could not cause too much of a ruckus this time. They had to do it on a small scale and be sustainable. It was a competition of patience.
However, Boss Pei's move now was direct and decisive. It was too dangerous!
The key was that he was not only cutting down IOI but also GOG!
GOG was developing well now. Even if they ignored IOI completely, they could still develop into an existence that dominated the global MOBA market. Was there a need to forcefully swallow IOI through a merger?
In the past, it was rare to hear of two games being forcefully merged together. Even people who didn't understand games knew how risky it was.
Games were things that could affect everything. The operation of the game was mainly about stability. If they could not change it, they would not change it. If they could make small changes, they would make small changes. The smaller the changes, the safer it would be.
For example, if some games decided to make a huge change, it would basically be because the game itself was about to fail. They would take the risk of courting death. If they changed it, they would come back to life. If they failed, they would die of old age.
However, GOG and IOI had not reached this step!
It could only be said that Boss Pei's courage was unparalleled.
As for how the capital market would react after this signal was released?
Without a doubt, Finger Games' shares would definitely plummet. That was because those who had confidence in Boss Pei were all players. Those in the capital market would definitely not have confidence in this.
Meng Chang nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll pass it on to Eric."
"Then, the publicity plan this time revolves around the merger of GOG and IOI? I'll make the arrangements myself? "
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, you can make the arrangements. Go!"
