"Sold out?"
"More than ten thousand cell phones were sold out?"
"One day?"
Pei Qian found it hard to accept this fact. He had thought that these cell phones would last at least two or three days. If he called now, he would at least be able to reserve one for himself.
In the end, he was one step too late!
Chang You quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Boss Pei. I didn't think of that. It's my fault!
"Other cell phones have more than a hundred thousand people pre-ordering them. Even a new cell phone brand would have at least thirty or fifty thousand in stock. We only prepared fourteen thousand cell phones. It's already not bad that we only managed to sell them out after a whole day! "
Pei Qian was speechless. "'Only' sold out? That's not what you said two days ago! You kept telling me that these stocks would be stored in the warehouse! "
Chang You quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Boss Pei. I was short-sighted. It looks like you were right to ask me to stock up. Our ten thousand cell phones are not enough! "
Pei Qian, "…"
F * ck, I'm not showing off!
According to Chang You, GOG was officially released at eight in the morning. Various channels, including the official platform and Shenhua's application store, had given the game all sorts of recommendations. That was why the game had become popular the entire morning!
The reviewer had already finished the main part of the review video. After seeing GOG's mobile game, he took the time to test it and inserted it into the editing file. He rushed and finally managed to upload it to Aili Island's website in the afternoon.
As the video became more and more popular, GOG and Bloody Battle Song became more and more popular. Otto Technologies also became more and more popular.
Otto E1 cell phone sales naturally showed signs of rapid growth. It finally reached its peak an hour ago. It quickly wiped out all the stocks that they had worked so hard to prepare!
All in all, the situation was changing rapidly.
Although Pei Qian had expected that GOG's mobile game would reach its peak once it was released, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Hearing Boss Pei's silence, Chang You quickly said, "Don't worry, Boss Pei. I've already asked the factory to continue stocking up. I'll send the new cell phones to you as soon as possible!"
Pei Qian, "… Alright."
After hanging up reluctantly, Pei Qian leaned back in his chair and fell into a long silence.
However, he quickly pulled himself together.
"How can I be crushed by such a small difficulty!"
"Hold on, hope is not completely extinguished!"
At that moment, Pei Qian felt as if he was emitting an inspirational light.
"Based on my understanding of the system, every time it closes a door when you're not paying attention, it will secretly open a window where you're not looking."
"The more I earn, the more ways the system allows me to spend my money."
"So, there must be a new way to spend money!"
"What looks like a crisis can turn into an opportunity. For example, after ROF Computer-Installation became popular, it could use 1024 Digital Day to spend as much money as possible …
"Although this will bring hidden dangers to the next settlement cycle, when the next cycle starts, I can start up other businesses and think of more ways to spend money …"
"That's right, that's it!"
The success of GOG and cell phones was about to bring in a huge sum of money for Pei Qian. If he left the money alone, he would not be able to make a loss for this cycle.
However, Pei Qian obviously would not give up just like that. He firmly believed that there was a way!
"The real challenge is about to begin. If I want to lose money, I'll have to cut down on expenses …"
"Cut down on expenses is to suppress the profits of GOG and cell phones in the short term, at least until after settlement."
"I'll create a 'credit purchase' function for GOG. Players can pay one-tenth of the price for all the skins they need to buy and try them for a month."
"That way, I can cut nine-tenths of GOG's income for this month … er, that's impossible. I also have to consider the possibility of retaliatory spending. Cutting four-fifths should be enough."
"After a month, if players are not satisfied with the skins, they can not buy them. That would be equivalent to renting the skins for a month at one-tenth of the price. If they are satisfied, they can make up for the difference after a month."
"After that, it might have the opposite effect of a promotion, but at least this month's settlement can be guaranteed."
"As for cell phones … a large part of the profits will come from the other departments. Under the premise of ensuring cash flow, return all the profits to the other departments. Let them digest all the profits themselves …"
"There's strength in numbers."
"All in all, give the other departments a death order. They have to find a way to spend all the profits before the end of the month. Not a single cent will be left. Of course, they can only be used to burn, not to develop new products … "
"Then, I'll have to cut down on expenses."
"There's still a little more than two weeks before settlement. In other words, there can't be any unfinished products in another week. Time is a little tight. It's definitely too late for Chang You to invest a huge sum of money into research and development."
"However, some reward methods can still work!"
"First, GOG will spend a huge sum of money to expand the bandwidth of the game's cloud server. This reason is to give players a better network experience and prevent the risk of possible lag. That should be reasonable, right?"
"Second, think of a way to spend more money on cell phones. Rent some cloud servers for users to use for free so that they can upload photos and videos that take up space to Otto Technologies' cloud servers."
"For cell phones that have serious non-human malfunctions, not only must we provide a replacement service immediately, but we must also give them a certain amount of cash compensation …
"Finally, set up a reward fund in GOG. The first place will be given a cash reward of 100,000 yuan, second to tenth place 50,000 yuan, 11th to 50th place 30,000 yuan, and 50th to 200th place 10,000 yuan."
"That way, we can spend 3.25 million yuan every time … that doesn't seem to be enough."
"Grandmaster Aoshi in the 200th to 500th place should also be given a thousand yuan each. That's only 300,000 yuan … no, 5,000 yuan. That's 1.5 million yuan."
"That would add up to 4.75 million yuan in one go."
"Hmm … that's enough for me to do charity."
"This might worsen the problem of actors, but it doesn't matter. In fact, there will be actors regardless of whether we give them bonuses or not. We can punish them in other ways."
"Oh, right. The client-side game and the mobile game should be matched separately. Of course, they have to be calculated separately. That would be double the happiness! This amount of money can be multiplied by two! "
"However, there's another problem. This money has to be given out before March 31st. Otherwise, we won't be able to make it."
"Let's do it this way. There will be one season every year. This year is 2011, and that's the S1 season. However, in order to spend money before the end of March, we'll split each season into four stages.
"January 1st to March 31st will be the Spring Competition, April 1st to June 30th will be the Summer Competition, July 1st to September 30th will be the Autumn Competition, and October 1st to December 31st will be the Winter Competition.
"That's for ordinary players. If it's a professional competition, we'll have to use another set of rules. We have to leave time for the World Competition … Pfft! How can there be a World Competition in this game?!
"The dates are a little out of step with the seasons, but we have no choice but to make it in time for settlement. We'll just have to make do with it. Players will slowly get used to it.
"The last three days of each stage will be used for settlement, statistics, and distribution of bonuses. We have to ensure that the money will be given out before the last day.
"That way, we can spend close to 40 million yuan every year. We should be able to spend most of the money that GOG earns in the early stages …
"I'm doing this to further increase GOG's popularity and make the competition more intense. That way, we'll have a better chance in the competition …
"That's reasonable, right?"
Pei Qian tested it and found that the System did not raise any objections. Obviously, it was feasible.
Pei Qian decided to do that!
He glanced at the calendar. Settlement was on March 31st. He had to spend the money before then. Thus, the data for GOG's ranking competition would be locked in the early morning of March 29th.
GOG's mobile game was still fine. There were still two weeks until March 29th. That was enough time for players to fight until their brains ached.
On the other hand, GOG's client-side game would only be released next Monday. There was only one week left for players to compete for the title of the Greatest King.
In one week, they would get a hundred thousand yuan if they were in first place. If they were in the top five hundred, they would get five thousand yuan.
A weekly salary of five thousand yuan and a daily salary of seven hundred yuan. How exciting.
According to the original settings, they would have to work hard for three months to get the money. However, the time was greatly reduced because of the special circumstances now.
There was no other way. Boss Pei was in a hurry. He could only let this group of people benefit.
However, even so, the ones who would get the money in the end would definitely be a group of gaming geniuses.
Pei Qian felt much more at ease after settling everything.
Indeed, spending money was like water in his brain. As long as he squeezed, he would find a way.
Many problems in the world could be solved by throwing money. If he could not solve them, he would throw more.
Until now, Pei Qian could not be sure that he had completely solved the problem of money. However, at least … he had solved a very important part.
He could throw the rest into Thriller Hostel. It would not be a problem to throw millions or tens of millions of yuan at the premise that Thriller Hostel could be officially completed by the next cycle.
After checking that there were no problems, Pei Qian arranged for Assistant Xin to inform the various departments.
Since the gaming department had the most work to do, Pei Qian specially sorted out the proposal and sent it to Hu Xianbin.
…
At that moment, Hu Xianbin was no longer paying attention to GOG's mobile game. Instead, he continued to work on GOG's client-side game so that it could be officially released two days earlier.
However, apart from work, he still felt a little conflicted.
GOG's mobile version was so successful, and yet Boss Pei did not praise me!
Although it was not a big deal, Hu Xianbin still felt a little emotional.
As he was struggling, he suddenly realized that Tengda's internal chat software had sent him a document.
What's more, it was from Boss Pei himself!
Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment and quickly checked.
"Th-this is …"
The plan detailed GOG's subsequent promotion plan, including the expansion of the server capacity, the purchase of skins on credit, season bonuses, and so on.
After reading it, Hu Xianbin fell silent.
So that was how it was!
No wonder Boss Pei did not praise my work. There are still many loopholes in my work!
And this follow-up promotion plan perfectly plugged these loopholes.
To prevent the pressure on the servers caused by the sudden popularity of the game, they spent money to expand the bandwidth of the servers.
To further promote the sale of skins and cultivate the spending habits of the players who liked to buy skins for free, they introduced the function of buying skins on credit.
In order to stimulate high-end players, further increase the popularity of the game, and increase the competitive nature of the game, they introduced season bonuses. That gave GOG the best competitive ground when it was first released …
Hu Xianbin suddenly felt ashamed.
I've wronged Boss Pei!
So, Boss Pei didn't praise me because I wasn't doing my job well. There was still a lot of room for improvement!
Wasn't Boss Pei helping me to solve all these problems?
Sigh, I didn't do my job well enough!
He had to work harder and not let Boss Pei down!
