Lin Chang quickly replied, "Boss Pei, that's amazing! I thought you were just playing around with that bit of money. I didn't expect you to create a digital account with six hundred thousand fans in just over a month!
"It looks like Boss Pei is not only good at games but also talented in self-media."
Pei Qian sniggered in his heart.
At first, I only wanted to play around with the money. I didn't expect to gain so many fans so quickly …
Before Pei Qian could reply, Lin Chang's next message arrived.
Lin Chang, "Actually, my older sister wants to thank you."
Pei Qian, "?"
At lightning speed, Pei Qian recalled the information he had read before. Lin Chang's older sister was called Lin Yu. She was currently in charge of Shenhua Corporation's cell phone business.
It was another big shot.
However, Pei Qian was a little confused. Lin Yu was in charge of Shenhua's cell phone business. She could be said to be the core department of the core departments. Why would she have anything to do with him?
Lin Chang, "Boss Pei, do you remember the first three videos you posted?"
"Actually, Shenhua's cell phones have always been made of solid materials. However, there are always irrational fans and fake reviewers who try to smear Shenhua's cell phones on the internet.
"Although many review organizations are also reviewing Shenhua's cell phones, the results are average. Those who like Shenhua's cell phones will still like them, and those who dislike them will still dislike them. Those who are prejudiced against Shenhua's cell phones will only think that the review organizations have accepted Shenhua's dirty money.
"However, Boss Pei, your Hardcore Reviews is different. Such a simple brute-force test immediately revealed the solid materials used in Shenhua's cell phones. They are not inferior to the cell phones of large foreign manufacturers at all!
"Although I smashed a Shenhua cell phone, it had a good impact. I saw Shenhua's cell phone's official account repost the video and found the host very familiar. That's why I remembered you, Boss Pei.
"Then, I told my older sister about this. She was very happy and said that she owed you a favor and had to thank you properly."
Pei Qian, "…"
So that was what happened.
He did not expect that smashing a cell phone would have such a complicated impact.
"Strictly speaking, this should be attributed to the good workmanship of Shenhua's cell phones. I did not think so much when I smashed the cell phone."
Pei Qian replied, "You don't have to thank me. After all, Boss Lin is the one who sponsored Hardcore Reviews."
Pei Qian could tell that Lin Yu was probably thanking him for something material. However, he did not intend to accept it.
On one hand, he really didn't do anything this time. He always felt that he didn't deserve it, and he didn't feel at ease taking the money.
What's more, as long as he could incur losses this time, would Boss Pei still need tens of thousands of yuan?
In any case, he was a person with a system. It wasn't right for him to always receive help from others.
Boss Pei was also someone who cared about his reputation.
"You're too kind," Lin Chang replied. Whether it was intentional or not, Boss Pei had helped me a lot in the end. I have to thank him. "
"My big sister thinks that if Shenhua has any new products in the future, she would definitely send one to Boss Pei immediately.
"Oh no, send two. Boss Pei can use one to destroy the other. "
"On top of that, I want to give Boss Pei another hundred thousand yuan as a token of gratitude. I'll transfer the money to the previous account.
"After all, Ah Wan is still indebted to you for taking care of her during this period of time."
Indeed, it was more or less what Pei Qian had expected.
Pei Qian wavered slightly when he heard the figure of a hundred thousand. However, he quickly restrained himself.
He could take the money, but there was no need.
Pei Qian replied, "Boss Lin, you're too kind. Actually, Lin Wan is very hardworking. I really didn't take much care of her. It was all her own hard work.
"I think we should just transfer the money to Lin Wan. After all, she is very conscientious and has helped me a lot."
Pei Qian could take advantage of the situation and transfer the hundred thousand yuan that Lin Yu was going to give him to Lin Wan.
After all, Lin Wan had just made a great contribution to him and successfully lost eight million yuan.
Pei Qian would let the Lin Family use this hundred thousand yuan internally.
Lin Chang only replied after a while.
"Boss Pei, you also know that my sister and Ah Wan aren't on good terms. Is that why you want to take advantage of the situation and repair their relationship?"
Pei Qian, "?"
What are you talking about? You're thinking too much! I didn't mean that!
Lin Chang muttered to himself, "Boss Pei, you're very thoughtful.
"I can also find a reason to ease the relationship between the two sisters."
"Since that's the case, it would be impolite of me to reject Boss Pei's kind intentions. I'll owe you a favor. If Boss Pei needs any help in the future, just let me know."
Pei Qian, "… Alright."
Although Pei Qian did not really understand what was going on, it seemed like a hidden plot had been triggered.
Pei Qian did not think too much about it. In any case, they could settle their own matters.
Boss Pei was only interested in how to incur losses.
Lin Chang and Pei Qian exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the conversation.
Pei Qian thought about what Lin Chang had said. He felt like something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
"Lin Yu and Lin Wan aren't on good terms? But Lin Wan seems to be on good terms with her two older brothers. In other words, Lin Yu is leaning towards Old Master Lin?
"Lin Yu probably wants Lin Wan to give up on the game industry and go back to inherit the family business.
"In that case … Lin Yu and I should be on the same side. We might have a chance to work together in the future.
"Hmm, I'll just treat it as a small favor."
Pei Qian did not think too much about it. Instead, he happily continued to suffer in Repent and be Saved.
…
…
At Shang Yang Games …
Lin Wan was browsing through the posts in the forum.
Gamers had mixed reviews for Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Some praised it to the heavens, some criticized it brainlessly, and many gave suggestions.
However, most veteran gamers were still very supportive of the game.
Although gamers gave many suggestions, Lin Wan could not find any useful ones even after looking through them for a long time.
She sighed softly.
Although many players would give various suggestions to the game, most of them were impractical.
Instead of wasting time looking at these unreliable suggestions, Lin Wan would rather think about what Boss Pei had said and understand the deeper meaning behind his words.
"Boss Pei said that when the time comes, things will turn for the better.
"However, what is the time for Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version?
"When will my fortune arrive?"
"What if it never comes? What should I do? Am I supposed to let the game continue to incur losses? "
Lin Wan felt a headache coming on. She had no idea what to do.
Although Boss Pei had given her a path, it was too vague. She did not know how to work hard.
As the director, she once again felt the heavy burden on her shoulders.
Lin Wan was still struggling when her cell phone rang.
It was a call from Lin Chang.
"Hello? Brother, what's up? "
Lin Wan's thoughts were disrupted. She was a little unhappy.
Lin Chang smiled. "Nothing. Our sister wants to give Boss Pei a hundred thousand yuan as a token of gratitude. Boss Pei asked me to pass it to you. You haven't changed your card number, have you? I'll get someone to call you later. "
Lin Wan frowned and rejected him decisively. "I don't want it!
I can earn my own living now. What's more, I don't want Lin Yu's money.
"What's more, didn't you say it was a token of gratitude to Boss Pei? Why is he passing it to me? "
Lin Chang quickly explained, "Boss Pei thinks that you've been working hard recently and have contributed a lot. That's why he wants to pass it to you. Don't let Boss Pei's good intentions down.
"What's more, it's not good for you and our sister to be in a cold war. Boss Pei wants to pass the money to you in hopes that the two of you can mend your relationship."
Lin Wan became even more unhappy. "Brother, I think you're overthinking it. Boss Pei probably just doesn't care about the hundred thousand yuan. Lin Yu is too much. She's so petty even though she's thanking him.
"All in all, I don't need money. Take it back."
Lin Chang was a little speechless. "It's fine if you don't want the money. You can ask for something else. I just had a meal with our sister a few days ago. I can feel that she still cares about you. Don't be angry. "
Lin Wan remained silent for a moment. "I understand. However, I really don't need anything else. The treatment here is good. My salary and bonuses are enough for me to spend. I appreciate your kindness. Please thank our sister on my behalf. "
"Don't be anxious." Lin Chang pondered for a moment. "Aren't you a game company? Our sister's cell phone business seems to be updating their application store. Why don't you upload a few of Tengda's games? Then, we can arrange a few good recommendation spots for them. That would be a way to express our gratitude to Boss Pei. "
Lin Wan shook her head. "There's no need. Those are cell phone games. We only have one cell phone game, Ghost General. What's more, the player base is already fixed. We can't push it. "
Lin Chang replied, "It doesn't have to be a mobile game. You can develop mobile versions of other games. In any case, they're all our recommendation spots. It would be a waste not to use them.
"I heard that mobile games are booming recently. There are many users of Shenhua's cell phones as well. These recommendation spots are very useful."
Eh?
Develop mobile versions of other games?
Lin Wan's mind suddenly lit up. She realized something.
What did Boss Pei say before this?
If Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version wanted to become popular, it had to depend on luck.
He was absolutely right.
Why were the figures for this game not good? It was because the mini-client did not match the current trend.
In the current game industry, web-based games were continuously going downhill. It was unrealistic to try and innovate in the web-based game industry and reverse the trend.
However, the mobile game industry was booming. It was booming!
What was luck?
In the future, mobile games would be luck!
Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version's 370 megabyte mini-client was indeed unbearable for web-based gamers. However, what about mobile gamers?
They could accept it!
Now, mobile games that cost two to three hundred megabytes had begun to appear. Gamers did not reject them. Instead, they were enjoying themselves.
If they changed Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version into a mobile game, wouldn't they solve the mini-client's problem?
Lin Wan was instantly excited. She said excitedly, "Brother, that's great! I finally understand what Boss Pei meant!"
Lin Chang, "Huh?
"Ask our sister to reserve the recommendation spot for the mobile game for me! I'll go and ask her how long it will take to change the mobile game! "
Lin Wan hung up at once and rushed off to find someone else for a meeting.
…
…
Shang Yang Games, conference room …
Seeing that everyone was present, Lin Wan went straight to the point. "How long will it take to change our game into a mobile game?"
Everyone was confused. They could not react for a moment.
Change it to a mobile game?
Why did they have to change it to a mobile game?
No one in this company had any experience in developing mobile games.
Everyone exchanged looks. They did not understand why Lin Wan would ask this.
Finally, Wang Xiaobin spoke.
"Changing it to a mobile game … shouldn't be too difficult.
"Actually, there are some cases of web-based games changing to mobile games in the industry. The configuration requirements for web-based games are not high, and the configuration requirements for mobile games are not high either. The client can be directly ported over.
"What's more, our mini-client is 370 megabytes. That's the capacity of a mobile game. We don't have to compress resources or anything like that. It's very convenient.
"The only problem is that there's a huge difference in the operation of web-based games and mobile games. A web-based game uses a mouse to click while a mobile game uses a touchscreen. That's why the operation and UI might have to be adjusted accordingly.
"What's more, none of us here have any experience in developing mobile games. If we really decide to change to a mobile game, we have to play popular mobile games and learn from them.
"As for time … I think if everyone works hard, we should be able to settle it in two weeks or a month."
Lin Wan nodded. She was very satisfied with this answer.
In terms of time, they could definitely make it!
Lin Wan cleared her throat. "Everyone, I have a bold idea."
"I went to look for Boss Pei previously, and he said that our game is doing very well now. We don't need to change it. We just have to wait patiently for the right time.
"What is the right time? The decline of web-based games and the rise of mobile games. That's the right time!
"Boss Pei is actually hinting to us that we have to follow the trend. As long as we can catch up with the rising tide of mobile games, do we have to be afraid that our game won't become popular?
"What's more, our game can be dual-platform.
"After we change it to a mobile game, we can not only play it on our cell phones, but we can also download the mini-client to play it on our computers. Then, the data will be interconnected. That's a unique advantage!"
As they imagined the bright future that Lin Wan had described, the originally confused group gradually understood.
That seemed to be the case!
Before this, no one had thought about this mainly because of their habitual thinking.
Everyone had been working on web-based games from the start. That was why they had never thought of changing a ready-made game into a mobile game.
Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version was of excellent quality. The only problem was that traditional web-based gamers could not wait to download the mini-client.
They might as well give up on traditional web-based gamers and embrace mobile gamers!
They might not have much of an advantage in the field of traditional web-based games, but they would have a huge advantage in mobile games!
If mobile games could really become popular, they could use the fact that dual-platform data was interconnected to drive web-based games forward.
The plan worked!
Ye Zhizhou was the first to nod. "I think we can give it a try! Turning it into a mobile game was much more reliable than splitting it into two mini-clients. This should be the most reliable direction to change. "
Wang Xiaobin also nodded. "Yes, that makes sense. Even though we haven't developed mobile games before, mobile games are much simpler than web-based games. Let's do some research and change our game's operating model to that of a mobile game. It shouldn't be difficult. "
Lin Wan was elated. "It's decided, then. The mobile version of Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version is officially launched!"
