They would publicly declare that Finger Games would become an independent studio and cut off all the redundant employees. They would maintain such a small scale and continue!
What's more, after the merger, only 30% of the profits would be given to Finger Games. This 30% of profits would have to be deducted from the salaries of Finger Games' employees and other expenses before dividends would be given to the shareholders!
That was too much. That was because Finger Games' major shareholder was Tengda. No matter how the dividends were distributed, they would still be distributed to themselves.
Of course, it did not matter how Tengda wanted to distribute it. However, the key was that they were only giving Finger Games 30% of the profits, and most of it was returned to Tengda. How much profit could there be?
After all, GOG was a game with very cheap skins from the beginning. That was tradition.
Would Tengda increase the price of skins on a large scale after the merger of the two games? Not necessarily!
What's more, at first, everyone did not believe that Tengda wanted to destroy Finger Games. They thought that there were special arrangements for such personnel changes.
However, after looking at it for a long time, they realized that there were no special arrangements at all. It seemed like they simply did not like Finger Games and wanted to clean it up. They wanted to completely transform Finger Games into an ordinary overseas development team that was attached to GOG!
That way, everyone's evaluation of Finger Games' stock price naturally plummeted.
After all, no matter how much money Tengda earned, it had nothing to do with Finger Games!
This situation was a little like a listed game company with only one pillar game. Then, the income of the pillar game was cut off. What's more, there would be no possibility of a comeback for a long time.
Under such circumstances, the stock price would definitely plummet.
Finger Games' stock price did not plummet that much, but it was inevitable that it would continue to fall.
Pei Qian only wanted to say: Well done!
After spending so much effort, he finally made everyone believe that he wanted to destroy Finger Games and stop it from earning money!
Pei Qian had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if the stock price rose and he made a killing after acquiring Finger Games because the capital market was optimistic about it?
Pei Qian's ultimate goal was to make Finger Games' stock price fall and make Tengda's investment go down the drain.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current situation of Finger Games after reading the report. Thus, he gave a simple reply, praised Eric for his hard work during this period of time, and asked him to continue. He wanted to completely transform Finger Games into an overseas research and development department of GOG as soon as possible.
After replying to Eric, there was a knock on the office door.
Pei Qian looked up. It was the acting person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, Old Song.
"Yes, is there any problem with the development of the new product?"
Pei Qian was a little surprised. After all, he had just finalized the new product with Old Song at the end of last month.
It had only been less than a week. Why was he here again? Did Old Song realize that there was a problem with the design of the previous two new products that he had designed too ridiculously?
If that was the case, he would have to use the Great Deception Technique again.
Old Song cleared his throat and said, "Boss Pei, it's like this. I made a small mistake in my work. That's why I made a trip here today to consult you again. "
"Last week, you finalized the final form of the two products, but there was one thing: Does the Game Routing Machine have to carry a first release game?"
Old Song could not be blamed. After all, he was a product manager and did not have a deep understanding of the game industry.
At the time, he didn't think there was any problem, but after chatting with a few people in charge, Old Song realized the problem.
As a game console, it had to carry a first release game as an escort!
He couldn't possibly just simply port all of Tengda's games and be done with it, right? That would be too insincere and would not be able to drive sales at all.
However, the first release game was not a small matter. Tengda had so many outstanding games. Which one should he choose?
Boss Pei had to make the decision.
"That's true." Pei Qian nodded and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about this first release game?"
Old Song had obviously thought about it and said, "Boss Pei, my understanding of the game industry is not very good. I'm just saying casually. Please correct me if there are any problems."
"In my opinion, there are actually two choices for this escort game. First, transplant one of Tengda's most classic games as an escort game. For example, for the game 'Struggle', we can make a console special edition and a remake for it. We can put it on the route machine and give it to players for free. That would make the game route machine have a certain collection value. "
"Second, we can choose a new game that has not been released as the first release of the console. For example, wouldn't the game 'The Future You Choose' that Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games are jointly developing be quite suitable?"
"It would be even better if we could make it an exclusive game. Our console would definitely sell well!"
Pei Qian did not immediately express his opinion because he felt that the situation was not good.
There was no doubt that the route machine would bring all of Tengda's games and most of the games on Morning Dew Games Platform that supported console gameplay when it was released.
Under such circumstances, the success of the game route machine was actually already very risky.
What would happen if they released an exclusive game with a lot of weight?
Both methods proposed by Old Song were very dangerous.
The former was to choose one of Tengda's classic old games and make a remake commemorative edition as the first escort game. The characteristics of these classic old games were that they had passed the test of time and were deeply loved by players. They would definitely not fail and could be considered a very stable choice.
On the other hand, the latter was to make Tengda's new game, 'The Future You Choose', a true AAA masterpiece, the first escort game. It would be best if it was made exclusive.
Once it was made exclusive, would there be a situation of buying the game and giving away the console? That was very likely!
Therefore, it was best not to choose either method!
Pei Qian shook his head and said, "I don't think it's particularly suitable.
"It would be too insincere to change an old game into a commemorative edition as the first escort game! Tengda Games has not reached the point where we need to cook cold rice.
"As for the game 'The Future You Choose', it might have enough weight to be the first escort game, but the timing should not be suitable.
"According to the original schedule, the game route machine would be released more than two months earlier than 'The Future You Choose'.
"It would be meaningless if we waited for more than two months before releasing it.
"What's more, our game console has just been released. It's not suitable for us to take an important masterpiece as an exclusive. That would not be very friendly to many players who have always supported us.
"They would feel that we are forcefully promoting the game console and would be suspected of forcing them to buy and sell.
"I think it's best for 'The Future You Choose' to be released on all platforms. What's more, there's no need to affect the sale of the game route machine because of this game."
Old Song was a little confused. "Boss Pei, do you mean that the game route machine should not be the first escort game? We just have to port the game from Morning Dew Games Platform? "
Pei Qian coughed lightly. "That's not what I meant. It's an exclusive game. Just develop another one. "
"What's more, since it's an exclusive game, we should try our best to develop it according to the characteristics of the game route machine. We should match the hardware and software. That would be the most sincere to the players."
Old Song was stunned. "Develop another game? But as far as I know, all the games departments in Tengda already have projects, right? We don't have extra research and development strength. Do we really have the energy and manpower to develop a new exclusive game? "
Pei Qian thought about it and realized that that was indeed the case.
Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, Slow Movement Workspace … At the moment, all the games departments directly related to Tengda Corporation had their own game development tasks.
He could not possibly ask them to temporarily put aside the projects at hand to develop exclusive games for the game console, right?
However, that was not a problem for Pei Qian. He already had an idea after thinking for a while.
"Who said that we don't have extra research and development strength?"
"There's a department that you forgot."
"The Destitution Plan and the independent game incubation base!"
"We have so many producers. How can you say that we don't have extra research and development strength? We still have plenty of research and development strength! "
Old Song was completely shocked. His eyes widened slightly, and his face was filled with disbelief.
He had not expected Boss Pei to include the independent game designers in the independent game incubation base into Tengda's research and development strength?
However, even a layman like him knew that this was not the same thing!
What the Game Routing Machine needed now was a AAA masterwork escort game, and the so-called AAA masterwork would definitely require a lot of people to work together and work together to produce it. Not only did it need a strong chief designer as a leader, but it also needed a mature design team as support.
There was indeed no lack of outstanding producers in the independent game incubation base. They had ideas and abilities, but there was a huge difference between the production process of independent games and AAA masterpieces.
For example, if independent game designers were special forces that were more suitable for carrying out special missions in small groups, then the production team of AAA masterpieces was like a regular army that had to fight large-scale military-style battles.
Would they be able to achieve the same effect as a regular army if all the special forces were gathered together? Of course not.
These independent game designers might be very good at designing games, but they each had their own ideas. How could they be integrated? This looked like an impossible task.
Not to mention developing a 3A masterpiece that could escort the game's routing machine, it was hard to say whether or not the game could be produced smoothly.
Old Song persuaded, "Boss Pei, why don't you think about it again? I don't think it will matter much if this console is released two months earlier or two months later. Let's wait for 'The Future You Choose'. Even if it can't be an exclusive game, at least it has enough weight and won't have any accidents. "
Pei Qian chuckled. "Don't worry about this. Ask Qiu Hong to do it."
Pei Qian could not be bothered to argue with Old Song. Old Song would not understand anyway.
It was better to leave this matter to Qiu Hong. Qiu Hong was a game designer after all. He should be able to imagine Boss Pei's intentions and at least develop this game smoothly.
What's more, the independent game incubation base had already been exposed. There was no need to hide it anymore.
Of course, what would this escort game be like after it was developed? It was hard to say.
It was very likely to be a deformed product stitched together by many producers.
However, that was what Pei Qian wanted. He did not want the game route machine's first game to be too outstanding. Otherwise, wouldn't it definitely become popular?
Even if the game router was going to become popular, Pei Qian did not want it to become popular during this cycle. It would be best to wait until this year was over.
In any case, Pei Qian would have already made a huge profit by then. He would not care so much about these things.
Old Song wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he finally nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll discuss it with Qiu Hong now."
