Ye Zhizhou answered, "Boss Pei, five percent of the profits from all skins and the corresponding hero's title."
Pei Qian fell silent.
He did not care about the other rewards, but five percent of the profits from the skins …
Even an idiot would know that it was not a small sum of money!
The most important thing was that the rewards were lifelong and permanent. As long as GOG was still operating, the profits from the skins would continue to be distributed.
To others, they could not help but wonder about the lifespan of the game.
After all, from the current state of the industry, there were very few games that could operate for ten years and still maintain a strong vitality. One could say that they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
That was because the game industry was changing rapidly. A successful game would not only have competitors of the same type but also other types of games.
It was just like how people used to think that MMORPGs were the ultimate form of online games. However, the emergence of MOBAs completely shattered people's inherent impression.
For the current people, how could they be sure that MOBA games would be like MMORPGs for a long time, and not like some other popular games that quickly disappeared?
However, Pei Qian knew very well that GOG would continue to operate for a long time!
If GOG was lucky enough to lose to IOI and no one played it anymore, that would mean that it would incur losses for a long time. Pei Qian would be overjoyed. Of course, he would let it continue to operate and burn money.
As long as it was a profitable game project, the System would not stop it.
On the other hand, if GOG, unfortunately, won the competition with IOI, Pei Qian would have no reason to stop operating it as a profitable project. It would continue to operate.
In other words, the five percent of profits would probably continue for the rest of his life.
Pei Qian was tempted.
Previously, Pei Qian had set the price of GOG's skins very low in order to reduce the game's revenue. Min Jingchao had further discounted the skins to motivate players.
However, no matter how much the revenue was reduced or how little it was, it was still targeted at a game company with strong revenue potential.
To Pei Qian personally, it was definitely not a small amount!
Pei Qian could not help but think of all kinds of popular and successful heroes such as Child Shackles, Child Robbery, Magic Blindness, and so on.
If he moved all of them over, wouldn't he be rising to the sky on the spot?
However, Pei Qian soon thought of other problems.
"Wait a minute, calm down. Don't get carried away by a mere 5% …"
"Would IOI be completely destroyed if all these heroes were moved over?"
"The hero production cycle is very long. At most, two heroes can be produced in a month. It will only get slower in the future."
"Once the number of heroes reaches a certain number, every time a new hero appears, its mechanism will have to be related to all the other heroes. The balance will become more and more difficult to maintain. At the same time, it will greatly slow down the pace of post-production heroes."
"In other words, the number of people who can obtain this reward is limited."
"If I carry the loot like crazy and monopolize all the rewards, what will happen to the other players?"
"This is supposed to be an event that encourages players to participate and also rewards them. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to take all the wool."
Pei Qian thought about it. If he really started moving the heroes, he would be able to move seventy or eighty of them based on his memory.
In that case, this event would have nothing to do with other players.
That seemed a little too much.
"What's more, IOI is in a very dangerous situation now. What if I make a move and IOI collapses?"
"Although 5% of the income from the skins is very good, I can forget about incurring losses in the future if I really turn GOG into a cash cow. I would only be able to eat that one in a thousand conversion rate for the rest of my life."
"What if the System adjusts the conversion rate based on the Matthew Effect? It might not be very likely, but I have to consider it …
"Yes, I still have to think about long-term goals."
Pei Qian thought about it comprehensively. If he became a porter and moved classic heroes crazily, he would have at least three concerns:
First, in the foreseeable future, the number of heroes and the speed of hero production would be fixed. Naturally, the rewards would be relatively fixed. Pei Qian would feel bad if he were to snatch benefits from other players.
After all, Boss Pei had so many businesses. He could earn income by scattering coins and incurring losses. Most players could not do that.
Boss Pei was too embarrassed to extend his hand.
Second, if he moved too much, GOG might become uncontrollably popular and become an extremely profitable game. That would be equivalent to almost no possibility of incurring losses in the future.
Pei Qian had a choice now. Incurring losses were obviously more profitable, but he could choose to a certain extent whether it was profitable or not.
On the other hand, if GOG became too popular, Pei Qian might have no choice but to earn money. From a long-term perspective, it was not worth it to completely lose a possibility.
In the end, if IOI was defeated, what would Lin Wan do …
Lin Wan was in charge of operating IOI's local server this time. If she tried her best and failed, she would definitely think that her standards were still far from being good enough. She would have to stay in Tengda to continue learning and would not go back.
When that time came, who knew what terrible things her sister, brother, and old master would do to 'fully support her career' …
Thus, after some consideration, Pei Qian felt that he could not be seduced by GOG's bait to attract players. He had to remain calm, think about the long-term, and make a decision after careful consideration.
He would think about it for a week first.
Even if he wanted to move, he could not shamelessly snatch away all the players' benefits. He could just move one or two to supplement his income.
"I'm only moving one, just one. It shouldn't affect the overall situation too much, right?"
…
…
April 28th, Thursday …
At a cafe near Handong University …
He An's first lesson to 'Ma Yang' had officially begun.
Pei Qian looked at the time. It was 1 PM. The lesson, break, and chatting would last until 5 PM. That was a total of four hours.
After all, a lesson cost two hundred thousand yuan. He An probably felt that it was not appropriate for the lesson to be too short.
He An held two copies of printed materials in his hands and handed one to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took it and flipped through it. He realized that Boss He had actually prepared for the lesson seriously. He had organized all the things that he wanted to teach into materials and printed them out.
Obviously, a big boss was a big boss. Since he had decided to teach, he had prepared seriously. He did not have the thought of 'fooling around, taking the money and leaving'.
Of course, Pei Qian was happy.
That was because the System would judge whether Pei Qian had 'achieved success' according to his improvement in learning. He would only be rewarded if he achieved his goal.
The more seriously He An taught, the higher the chances of Pei Qian passing the System's evaluation.
However, Pei Qian's happiness lasted less than two minutes before his expression froze.
That was because he saw the title of the teaching material.
'Successful Case Lesson One: Tengda Games' Marketing '!
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched.
It's over. My bad premonition has come true!
Last week, He An had given Pei Qian a few test questions that were all related to Tengda Games.
At that time, Pei Qian had not paid much attention to it. He had wishfully thought that the test questions would be different from the official teaching material.
After all, He An had so many successful projects. Even if he wanted to teach, he should be talking about his own successful projects, right?
However, what the hell was with the teaching material's title?!
Was he talking about Tengda Games?
I'm spending two hundred thousand yuan for a lesson just to learn my own marketing skills?
What's more, I don't have any marketing skills at all!
Pei Qian felt a little awkward. "Teacher He, are we learning this?"
"Eh?" He An did not expect 'Ma Yang' to ask such a question. "Is there a problem with learning this?"
Pei Qian cleared his throat. "Teacher He, do you have any failed projects that you can share with me your experiences? As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. I want to learn from my mother's knowledge. "
He An sniggered. "Boss Ma, that's a typical layman's way of thinking."
Pei Qian, "…"
He An explained, "I did take some detours, but the so-called 'failure is the mother of success' means that you find the right path through trial and error. If the right path is right in front of you, why would you deliberately take a detour?
"You're in a bad situation. You think that many people succeed because they learned from their failures, but in fact, it's because they found the right path.
"Boss Ma, don't deliberately understand those 'lessons'.
"That's because you won't think in that direction if you don't know about failures. However, if you know too many failures, they will interfere with your thinking and shake your determination."
Pei Qian, "…"
Interfere with thinking and shake one's awakening?
Now that you mention it, I want to learn even more, what should I do?
Pei Qian refused to give up. "Boss He, there's no need to learn from Tengda's case, right?"
He An smiled. "If you want to learn, of course you should learn the latest and most cutting-edge design concepts. How can you learn outdated concepts? What's more, you're an employee of Tengda. It should be easier for you to understand and grasp Tengda's design concepts. "
Pei Qian: "But …"
He An's face darkened. "Boss Ma, don't bite off more than you can chew! Since you've asked me to give a lecture, then you'll have to study the contents of my lecture seriously. Otherwise, you'd better find someone else! "
Pei Qian was speechless.
It looked like Boss He was determined to talk about Tengda.
However, when he thought about it again, it made sense. He had spent so much effort to arrange the materials for the first class, but he was unwilling to learn them. Wouldn't he be furious?
Forget it, I'll give the old senior some face. Maybe there's some knowledge in there that I can use.
Besides, this was only the first lesson. There should be more content after this … right?
