"GOG and IOI are going to merge?"
Zhu Xiaoce was shocked.
Fei Huang Workspace basically did not have any business dealings with the GOG project team. Thus, he was not well-informed about such matters.
Obviously, this was a big deal!
In fact, many netizens had proposed the idea of a 'strong merger' when GOG and IOI were fighting for supremacy. However, this idea was just irresponsible nonsense. The industry shook their heads slightly and felt that it was completely impossible.
The reason was simple. The risks of this thing far exceeded the benefits!
The problem was not whether it could be done, but to what extent and what effect it would have in the end.
The two games might be similar in terms of art style, but there were also differences. How could they guarantee that it would be more natural after putting them together and not forcefully sew them together?
In terms of technical conditions, the underlying structure of the game was different from the hero mechanism. Would there be conflicts if IOI's heroes were put into GOG? Would there be any strange bugs?
How would there be balance if there were so many heroes at once? How would the incompatible hero mechanisms be modified?
It could be said that there were problems everywhere!
There would be a huge price to pay to solve these problems. If they were not solved well, it would seriously affect the gamers' gaming experience.
It could be seen from the discussions of gamers online. Some gamers were shouting that Tengda was awesome, but more of them were worried and uneasy.
"Merge? There's no need, right? GOG is doing well. Why should IOI's rubbish game be included? "
"F * ck, there aren't many IOI players to begin with. Are they trying to force us to leave?"
"It feels like they want to eat IOI up. Have they considered our thoughts? Do we IOI players not have human rights? "
"We mock and despise each other every day. In the blink of an eye, the houses on both sides are about to collapse. We can only hide together from the rain. This …"
Obviously, the players on both sides were not particularly satisfied.
That was because they despised each other!
To GOG players, IOI was clearly a loser. It was a lousy game made by foreigners. Many players had already run away, and the server was almost dead. GOG was already quite fun now. Why should they join in?
IOI players thought that GOG was awesome and won. IOI players only wanted to occupy their territory and be cute. Now, even their last harbor was going to be destroyed? Forcefully merge into GOG? Once they merged, wasn't it obvious who would eat who?
That was normal. After all, GOG and IOI players had mocked each other before. They both felt that they were at the top of the chain of contempt and could not tolerate each other.
Now, they suddenly realized that they were going to become a family?
How could this be!
The key was that there was no choice. If there was a new game called IOG or GOI and gamers were free to choose, no one would care.
However, forcefully merging without asking for the players' opinions would naturally lead to resistance from the players.
Zhu Xiaoce looked at Huang Sibo. "This …"
Clearly, this kind of thing seemed a little unwise and a little reckless.
However, if Boss Pei was the one making the decision …
Huang Sibo shook his head. "I don't know what Boss Pei is thinking. I can only say … perhaps Boss Pei is very confident in this merger. That's why he's willing to take such a huge risk."
"Look on the bright side. If this merger really succeeds and satisfies GOG and IOI players, this new game will completely break through all obstacles and completely swallow up the entire MOBA game market. Then, it will eliminate all future troubles …"
The more Huang Sibo spoke, the softer his voice became.
That was because he also felt that the possibility of such a thing was not high. It was a little too idealistic.
"Forget it, Boss Pei and the GOG project team will worry about the game." Zhu Xiaoce did not pay much attention to this matter and continued to look at another topic in the group: Many departments of Tengda were under fierce attacks!
Of course, the so-called attacks were commercial, and the methods were not very complicated. It was nothing more than price wars, snatching customers, fake reviewers, imitating business models, and so on.
Price wars were the best method. After all, most customers were not sensitive to all kinds of fancy activities. The only thing that could make most people react strongly was the price factor.
Apart from that, imitating business models was also very important.
That was because Tengda's many industries were successful because of this unique business model. It had a clear distinction from other similar industries in the market.
Therefore, many companies were thinking about whether they could copy the business model that Tengda had created in some industries.
For example, some gyms were also planning to introduce the 'break all cauldrons and sink boats' card. They were mainly working in two directions: one was to charge per session, and the other was to come to the gym a certain number of times a week. There would be discounts based on the number of times. That way, the same amount of money could be used several times in the gym.
This model was not exactly the same as the Deposit Fitness model, which was quite smart. After all, it would not look good to copy it completely. On the other hand, it would not be in line with the actual situation of these gyms.
That was because Deposit Fitness could plan the time of all members and strictly control the number of people in the gym to not exceed the actual capacity.
However, other gyms did not have this ability because the traditional model of the gym was still trying to trick people into applying for a membership. They did not consider the actual capacity of the gym at all. No matter how many people there were, they just had to cram in.
It was not feasible to copy the Deposit Fitness model completely.
However, the 'break all cauldrons and sink boats' model could be considered to have achieved the same effect as the Deposit Fitness objectively.
Although the pirated version would definitely not beat the original, there was still a price war!
As long as the price looked more cost-effective than the Deposit Fitness, it would always attract some groups who were very sensitive to price.
The imitation of the business model and the price war, supplemented by means such as advertising, leaflets, snatching customers, fake reviewers, and so on, had indeed caused a considerable impact on Tengda's industry.
What's more, there was a very important thing: many of Tengda's industries were attacked at almost the same time!
If it was just one industry, Tengda could deal with it with ease.
When one side was in trouble, help came from all directions!
The other industries would be able to revitalize this suppressed industry with a little cooperation. On the other hand, the enemy who took the initiative to provoke the price war would be the first to be unable to bear it.
However, with so many departments facing pressure, it was difficult to divert energy to take care of the other departments.
Messages quickly flooded the screen in the responsible group, and it looked very chaotic.
It was not that they were helpless. On the contrary, each of them could think of several ways to fight back.
Their problem was that they only had the methods, but they did not have the resources or coordination!
Previously, when a department was in trouble, the other departments would help. Now, after a little discussion, they would be able to come up with a perfect plan with this core department as the leader. Everyone did their own duties and naturally pushed forward.
However, now, each department had its own needs. Which need should be prioritized? Which need could be put aside? Which department's problem should be solved first? Which of the two conflicting plans should be chosen?
These all needed to be coordinated and arranged by higher-level people.
Therefore, these people in charge expressed their thoughts in the group, arguing endlessly about who should go first and who should go last.
Huang Sibo felt a little strange and asked, "Shouldn't we directly let Boss Pei decide on such things? Isn't the efficiency of your discussion too low?! It's better to let Boss Pei cut the Gordian knot and give us a timeline. Everyone can push forward according to that timeline. "
Xiao Peng from Fish-Catching Internet Cafe replied, "Do you think we didn't look for him? We looked for him immediately! However, we couldn't find Boss Pei! "
Huang Sibo was stunned. "That's not right. Boss Pei was still in a meeting with us last Thursday to arrange for the new game. Why can't we find him? "
Xiao Peng, "How would I know? However, the truth is that we can't find him. This Monday, a few of us in charge went to Boss Pei's office, but Boss Pei was not there.
"We sent a message to Boss Pei again and could not help but call him, but there was no reply.
"We were very worried, so we asked Assistant Xin, and …"
Huang Sibo quickly asked, "What was the result?"
Xiao Peng paused for a while before replying, looking a little speechless. "Assistant Xin said that Boss Pei is in seclusion."
Huang Sibo could not help but be in awe. "Seclusion? Is he in seclusion to find a way out? "
Xiao Peng, "… I thought so at first, but Assistant Xin said that Boss Pei is in seclusion to write his graduation thesis."
Huang Sibo looked at the chat on the screen and fell into a long silence.
F * ck …
When he first heard that Boss Pei was in seclusion, he thought it was something big.
Indeed, many big things happened during this period, such as the merger of GOG and IOI, many big companies forming an 'Anti-Tengda Alliance', and the detailed design of games and movies …
Huang Sibo would not find it ridiculous if Boss Pei was in seclusion for any of these things.
However, he was in seclusion for his graduation thesis?
What the hell was that?!
Boss Pei was so powerful that many people subconsciously ignored the fact that he was still a fourth-year university student.
However, the problem was that with Boss Pei's ability, wouldn't he be able to write a graduation thesis casually?
Why would he need to go into seclusion for such a small matter?
What's more, with Boss Pei's current identity and status, so what if he dropped out directly? Could it be that the CEO of such a giant company cared so much about an ordinary undergraduate diploma?
He felt as if this matter was filled with strangeness and absurdity.
Huang Sibo was speechless and asked again, "Do you know how long Boss Pei will be in seclusion for?"
Xiao Peng, "According to Assistant Xin, he will be in seclusion until at least the 10th of next month. However … Assistant Xin also said that even if Boss Pei is in seclusion, he should not be completely unable to receive information from the outside world, but he will not communicate with us frequently.
"However, we have to prepare for the worst, which is to not be able to get any help from Boss Pei.
