After leaving Shang Yang Games, Pei Qian returned to Tengda.
There was still a lot of work that had to be arranged slowly.
Apart from Shang Yang Games and Lin Wan, Pei Qian's biggest headache was what Tengda's games department should do for the next game.
At this point, Pei Qian was really at his wit's end. Oh, no, he felt helpless.
From Ocean Stronghold to Game Designer to Repent and be Saved, Pei Qian had been constantly asking Tengda's games department to create new games. He had already changed three chief planners.
Yet, what could he do?
It was useless!
It seemed like no matter how many times they changed, it would not be as effective as it should be!
Pei Qian wanted to make a horror game to incur losses, but he did not dare to hand this task to Tengda.
He could only hand it to Shang Yang Games, which did not have much experience in developing standalone games.
However, here was the problem. What should he ask Tengda's people to do?
Whether it was standalone games or online games, this group of people had corresponding successful game experience. If they continued, they would most likely have to replicate their previous success. No matter how he thought about it, he felt uneasy.
Should he give all of them a paid leave?
Yet, there was no good reason. After all, in order to incur losses in the previous cycle, all sorts of employee benefits had been maxed out. It would be very difficult to add more.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more confused he became. After thinking for a long time, he still could not think of a good solution.
He could only open Aili Island and start watching dramas.
After watching for a while, someone knocked on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw Huang Sibo.
"Boss Pei, I have good news to share with you!"
Pei Qian's hands trembled. He was shocked by the words' good news'.
This fellow is stabbing me in the back again!
However, on further thought, that's not right. The settlement has already been made!
What's there to be afraid of?!
Pei Qian immediately calmed himself down. He smiled faintly. "Eh? What good news? Is it about A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor? "
Huang Sibo looked excited. "That's right! Boss Pei, A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor is finally turning losses into profits! "
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
A program like this could turn losses into profits?!
It was not that Pei Qian looked down on this show, but it had very strong limitations.
Fei Huang Workspace might be filming a short film, but they had always been striving for perfection. Whether it was the costumes, makeup, props, post-production editing, or actors, they all cost a fortune to produce. Among web dramas, this was one of the more expensive ones.
As for A Day in a Great Inventor's Life, it was very difficult to find suitable sponsored partnerships.
If it was purely sponsored partnerships and didn't care about the effects of the show, it would be fine.
However, everyone in Fei Huang Workspace strictly followed Boss Pei's instructions to produce videos. They did not accept sponsored partnerships that did not turn out well. Thus, they had to produce several episodes in a row before they finally found a decent sponsored partnership.
Moreover, the props used in "A Day in a Great Inventor's Life" were all useless.
Even if the manufacturers came knocking, it would be very difficult to achieve the effect of "selling goods" through the video. Instead, it would only serve to dissuade them.
For example, the portable washing machine in the first episode. There was indeed a similar product on the market, but after watching the video, a large number of consumers who wanted to buy it were dissuaded.
Until now, A Day in a Great Inventor's Life had been updating steadily for more than two months. Now, it was the twelfth episode.
Although it had formed a very large and fixed audience, it did not have a good channel to monetize it. It was not enough to rely on Aili Island's video incentive plan.
Thus, Pei Qian was very puzzled. How could such a show turn losses into profits?
Did Aili Island spend a lot of money on exclusive broadcasting?
Or did they receive many sponsored partnerships in a row?
Huang Sibo smiled and handed the cell phone to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took the phone and saw that it was an online shop!
The name of the online shop was' Edison's Laboratory '. Pei Qian clicked on the list of products in the shop and quickly scanned through the catalog.
Finger Training Machine: Nowadays, we need our cell phones to tap on the screen every day. Thus, it is very important to keep our fingers active. Using this finger training machine, we can train our finger muscles in our free time every day. Thus, our typing speed on our cell phones would reach new heights.
In the picture was something that looked like a mini treadmill. After 'standing' on it with one's index and middle finger, one could move the tracks below with one's fingers. The small LCD screen at the top would change according to reading and was used to record the time and mileage of the exercise.
LED Light Slippers: Once you put it on, you just have to step on it hard and it will emit light. Mommy will not have to worry about me going to the toilet alone at night!
Sunlight Foot Bath Machine: Using sunlight to replace water, it can increase blood circulation in the feet by 'basking in the sun'. It can also relieve fatigue before bed. On top of that, it has a tanning effect!
Grass Slippers: The slippers have furry grass on them. When wearing the slippers, you can feel the grass under your feet.
Spaghetti Spinning Fork: The handle of the fork has a battery and motor. With a light press, the fork will start to spin and easily roll up the spaghetti on the plate!
…
Pei Qian browsed through the products in the shop from top to bottom. He realized that there were many products in the shop. What's more, most of them had appeared in the videos before.
He looked at the sales volume of the products. Some of them were extremely low, but others sold hundreds or thousands of them.
The ones with the highest sales volume were the related peripherals. For example, a certain themed t-shirt had already sold more than four thousand of them.
A certain great inventor's cartoonish doll had also sold more than seven hundred of them.
Other than that, the shop also sold some snacks and gadgets such as cartoonish dolls. These sales volume was not low either!
With the products in the shop and the occasional sponsored partnerships, the video workspace had really turned its losses into profits!
Pei Qian revealed a relieved smile.
That's great!
He wasn't happy that Fei Huang Workspace had turned its losses into profits. He simply felt that Fei Huang Workspace had grasped the timing very well.
They had turned their losses into profits after settlement and did not stab him in the back!
If they had turned their losses into profits before settlement and gained tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan for no reason, wouldn't Boss Pei be so angry that he would vomit blood?
However, Pei Qian felt very relaxed now.
Just this small online shop?
It wasn't a big problem at all!
Seeing Boss Pei reveal a faint smile, Huang Sibo felt gratified as well. It seemed like Fei Huang Workspace's insistence on not accepting sponsored partnerships and maintaining its reputation had won Boss Pei's approval!
However, the smile on Pei Qian's face only lasted for a short while before it disappeared.
Suddenly, Pei Qian realized that online shops weren't safe either!
Although they weren't earning much now, the next few years would be the time for online shops to take off. Many retired professional athletes would be able to earn a million a month selling pork cubes and the like. What more for an online shop like Fei Huang Workspace that was managed by professionals?
There was no need to think further. Based on the current trend, Fei Huang Workspace would definitely have accumulated a huge sum of money by settlement!
At that time, wouldn't they still have to rack their brains to think of ways to incur losses?
Sh * t, it's too early to be happy!
Although they had escaped the previous settlement cycle, Fei Huang Workspace's profit problem still had to be solved within this cycle!
Pei Qian coughed lightly and handed the cell phone back to Huang Sibo.
"Not bad, but you have to work harder."
"What plans does Fei Huang Workspace have for the future?"
Huang Sibo smiled and said, "I've discussed with Director Zhu Xiaoce, and we've decided to continue filming A Day in a Great Inventor's Life. We want to make this show into a huge, influential IP!
"At the moment, it looks like the online shop model is not bad. We've already achieved our initial goal of turning Fei Huang Workspace's losses into profits. We intend to continue to work hard and earn more! "
Pei Qian fell silent and did not reply.
Huang Sibo's heart skipped a beat. He could sense Boss Pei's displeasure.
Why?
Wasn't Boss Pei smiling just now? Why did he become so serious in the blink of an eye?
After all, Huang Sibo was one of Boss Pei's earliest employees. He still had the ability to discern and understand.
After thinking for a while, Huang Sibo quickly understood the reason.
"I understand now.
Boss Pei smiled just now because he was happy that Fei Huang Workspace and A Day in a Great Inventor's Life had turned losses into profits. That was a form of recognition for our work.
"However, he looks so serious now. I'm afraid he's not happy with our work arrangements for the future!"
Huang Sibo could not help but recall the many conversations he had with Boss Pei in the past.
Boss Pei had repeatedly emphasized that they had to take a long-term view and not be obsessed with small profits for the moment!
Fei Huang Workspace might be profitable now, but would Boss Pei care about such a small amount of money?
Probably not!
It looked like Boss Pei had higher expectations for Fei Huang Workspace!
Pei Qian was still thinking about how to persuade Huang Sibo to earn less money. He could not think of a good excuse at the moment.
Instead, Huang Sibo spoke first.
"Boss Pei, are you not satisfied with Fei Huang Workspace's work arrangements for the future?
"Don't you think that Fei Huang Workspace should produce better works instead of focusing on the small profits in front of us?"
Pei Qian, "…"
Eh? Have my employees learned how to be the first to answer?
He looked up at Huang Sibo's extremely sincere eyes and nodded silently. "That's right, that's what I mean!"
Huang Sibo revealed a gratified smile. He thought to himself that he had improved after following Boss Pei. He was getting better and better at thinking from a higher perspective!
However, his smile quickly disappeared.
"Boss Pei, it's not that we're short-sighted.
"The key is that neither Director Zhu Xiaoce nor I have found a good direction. We don't even have a ready-made idea."
"It would be great if Boss Pei could give me some pointers!"
Looking at Huang Sibo's expectant gaze, Pei Qian was in a dilemma.
Asking me for ideas?
Aren't you afraid that you'll celebrate the wrong New Year?
Uh, that's not right. My ideas seem to be really popular.
If he did not give any ideas, Fei Huang Workspace would continue filming A Day in the Life of a Great Inventor. According to the current development trend, the sales of this online store would only increase. The video would also receive more and more sponsored partnerships. It would definitely be profitable.
Give me some ideas. Pei Qian was also worried that this idea would become popular.
