Pei Qian was more concerned about IOI's situation.
As GOG's main competitor in the world, IOI's actions directly determined whether Pei Qian could continue to burn more money on GOG. That was very important.
Ever since Eric left, the person-in-charge of Dayak Corporation and Finger Games in IOI's local server had become a man named Chrétien. Then, the policy to promote IOI would most likely change.
Pei Qian was looking forward to Chrétien bringing some new changes to IOI's local server and creating some challenges for GOG in the domestic market, although the possibility was not high.
Lin Wan handed a report over. "Boss Pei, these are the few measures that Chrétien has taken against IOI's local server."
"Compared to Eric, he has placed the focus of his work on changing the game's content. This can be seen from the beta server update plan."
"The game map is relatively smaller. The small soldiers in reverse will also provide the other party with 70% experience and a small amount of money. After dying many times, the head is worthless. There is an additional bounty for ending the head, and the map resources are enriched …"
"In addition, he seems to be planning to change IOI's local server into a low-priced area. The price of heroes and skins will be lowered to 1/2 to 1/3 of the international server's price depending on the situation. This is a feasible method that many games platforms have initially verified."
"In addition, there is news that Finger Games seems to be in contact with some large domestic games manufacturers, hoping that these large manufacturers will promote the game's localization. However, they have not decided who to cooperate with at the moment. I will continue to pay attention."
Pei Qian flipped through the report that Lin Wan handed over, his expression as usual.
Logically speaking, he should be overjoyed. After all, these measures seemed to be in the right direction.
Shang Yang Games and Eric had used different methods to promote IOI's local server before, but they had not been able to do so. The root cause was still the game itself.
GOG was Tengda's own game. During the promotion process, they could modify it according to players' feedback. They could even play the game of collecting hero ideas from players.
However, the authority to modify IOI was with Finger Games. Finger Games' main target was the European and American markets. They were not directly affected by GOG in the early stages. Thus, they felt that IOI was perfect and were unwilling to accept the modification suggestions submitted by Shang Yang Games.
Thus, GOG continued to evolve while IOI remained stagnant. The gap between the two in terms of gameplay widened. IOI's players were snatched away by GOG, but GOG's players would not even look at IOI. As time went by, the strength of both parties was no longer on the same level.
The person-in-charge this time, Chrétien, was a senior executive of Finger Games. had a lot of say in modifying games. He was also a person who truly understood MOBA game design concepts.
What's more, GOG had already entered the overseas market and was rapidly eating away at IOI's market share. No matter how slow and arrogant Finger Games was, they should have some reaction.
What Chrétien was doing was actually closing the gap between IOI and GOG from the bottom.
Change the game mechanism to make IOI more in line with the gaming habits of ordinary players to attract more players. Change IOI's local server to a low-priced area so that IOI would not have too much of a price disadvantage compared to GOG. Cooperate with domestic manufacturers and use their resources to promote the game. At the same time, they could launch more and more suitable local publicity strategies.
It was hard to say whether these changes were right or wrong. After all, changing the gameplay to please some people would inevitably offend others at the same time. It was impossible to be perfect.
Every change carried a huge risk. Sometimes, the starting point of some changes was good, but the final result was completely unexpected.
However, no matter what, these changes at least proved that Chrétien and Finger Games had gradually realized the root cause of the failure of IOI's local server and had begun to salvage it.
Of course, Chrétien was relatively restrained when doing these things and did not overdo it.
The difficulty of the game had been reduced to a limit. It did not directly cancel the reverse compensation, but reduced the benefits of the reverse compensation.
The prices of heroes and skins were not reduced to cabbages. Even if the local server was designated as a low-priced area, the price was not as low as GOG's. It fully took into account the feelings of players in other regions. If the effect was good, they could continue to reduce the price.
What's more, these changes were first tested on the test server to test the players' reactions. If the feedback was good, they would really be used on the official server.
IOI was already a mature game after all. Any change was a risk. They had to be cautious.
Finger Games would not have made such a risky move if GOG had not put too much pressure on them.
All in all, it should be good news for IOI's local server to be able to recognize the difference between IOI and GOG in terms of price and make up their minds to change it. It was much more effective than burning money before.
However, Pei Qian did not feel very optimistic.
That was because GOG's domestic market share had completely crushed IOI. Would there be immediate effects even if IOI made changes?
Not only did Pei Qian not have confidence in IOI, but he also had no confidence in his own luck.
Lin Wan asked, "Boss Pei, should we take some countermeasures? Nip the hidden danger in the bud? "
Pei Qian quickly raised his hand to stop her. "No need!"
Don't mess around. It's not easy for them to make a fuss. It's not right for us to snuff it out directly.
Give them some space to recuperate. It would be best if we nurture a tiger and wait for IOI to recover and develop. Then, we can happily burn money together.
Lin Wan nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. We'll carry out GOG's overseas publicity according to the original plan. I'll continue to pay attention to IOI's movements."
…
At the same time, in the HR department …
"Does Tengda Corporation have no need to carry out spiritual development?
"Don't care about what the other departments do. We just have to strictly follow Boss Pei's instructions in our own department?
"This …"
Wu Bin fell into deep thought after listening to Hao Yun's introduction of yesterday's gathering.
Wu Bin was not the person-in-charge of the various departments so he did not attend yesterday's gathering.
However, Boss Pei had mentioned the Tengda spirit during the gathering after all. The person-in-charge of the various departments could not figure out Boss Pei's true thoughts. Thus, Hao Yun specially told Wu Bin about this after work today and asked him to help analyze it.
Boss Pei might have said 'you don't have to understand or understand why as long as you resolutely carry it out', but how could these person-in-charge not be curious?
There was definitely a deeper meaning to what Boss Pei wanted to do!
These department heads were good at understanding Boss Pei's intentions. How could they be willing to give up and become a tool?
Thus, everyone analyzed and interpreted Boss Pei's words in depth. They even analyzed and interpreted the deeper meaning behind 'Boss Pei did not think that everyone needed to understand'.
In the end, they could not decipher it.
The person-in-charge felt uncomfortable holding it in.
Boss Pei's seemingly ordinary request could very likely hide a new grand strategy. This grand strategy could affect the future development of all the departments, but everyone knew nothing about it. How could that do?
Hao Yun's strong desire for knowledge troubled the people in charge, and it was the same for Hao Yun.
Thus, Hao Yun secretly shared this matter with Wu Bin.
This was not confidential information after all. Boss Pei did not ask for it to be kept secret. Wu Bin was also a core employee with certain qualifications and outstanding contributions in the HR department. It was reasonable for him to know this information.
Wu Bin frowned and fell silent.
Boss Pei's focus seemed to be on the Tengda spirit these few days!
First, he changed the Tengda spirit test questions and added an explanation part. Then, he asked all the department heads to talk about their understanding of the Tengda spirit during the gathering. Finally, he said that Tengda did not need spiritual construction and that the various departments should not influence each other …
There must be something behind this!
Wu Bin's brain worked quickly. Through his deep understanding of the Tengda spirit, he analyzed Boss Pei's intentions.
"First, let's start from the most unreasonable point: Boss Pei said that Tengda does not need spiritual construction.
"How can it not need spiritual construction? Other companies dare to write a few slogans and ask their employees to memorize them. Tengda clearly has such a good corporate spirit, but it does not promote it. Is that reasonable?
"By promoting the Tengda spirit, we can improve the efficiency of employees, promote the development of the company, and contribute to society while obtaining more income. Boss Pei has no reason to reject such a good thing, right?
"There is nothing wrong with shaping the corporate culture and promoting the company's spirit. Boss Pei's objection must mean that there is a problem with the process and that the implementation was not done well!
"Combined with Boss Pei's previous behavior of changing the Tengda Spirit compatibility test … I boldly speculate that there must be a certain deviation in our current interpretation of the Tengda spirit, which made Boss Pei dissatisfied!"
Hao Yun was stunned. "Why do you say that?"
Wu Bin explained, "We all know that the Tengda Spirit compatibility test questions are changed randomly. There is no need to specially change it to meet Boss Pei's requirements.
"However, Boss Pei still took time out of his busy schedule to change it and added a subjective explanation for each question.
"This means that Boss Pei is dissatisfied with the high passing rate of the Tengda Spirit compatibility test! He thinks that some employees might have chosen the right answer, but in fact, they did not really understand the Tengda spirit and took a shortcut. That's why Boss Pei added a subjective part to find the problem. "
Hao Yun's expression became serious as she nodded.
Indeed, this was a problem.
At the moment, the elimination rate of the Tengda Spirit compatibility test was too low. The heads of the various departments could not bear to let their hard-earned employees be eliminated. Thus, they would more or less hint to make it easier for them to pass this test.
However, this way, many people did not pass the test by relying on their own understanding of the Tengda spirit, but by the department heads' force-feeding.
Boss Pei obviously realized this, which was why he asked new employees to explain why they chose this option when they took the test.
If that was the case, then it seemed to make sense!
Hao Yun quickly said, "How do you explain what Boss Pei said during the gathering, then?"
