Pei Qian browsed through the comments online and could not help but worry for Finger Games.
"We didn't hire fake reviewers. Why are these gamers quarreling among themselves?
"The situation is not good. What should we do?
"Should I hire some fake reviewers to say a few words for Finger Games online and boast about it to boost their prestige?
"No, this behavior seems to be a little like anti-fans. It might cause more resistance …"
Pei Qian stood on Finger Games' side from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely hoped that their performance in the local and world servers would be more impressive. The greater the threat to GOG, the better.
However, Pei Qian could only be anxious in this situation. He could not do anything at all.
If he helped the gamers scold Finger Games, he would be hitting the opponent and adding insult to injury. If he helped Finger Games, he would seem to be being sarcastic and fanning the flames.
Pei Qian thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to say anything.
Since that was the case, he should remain silent!
It should be fine if I don't say anything, right?
However, Pei Qian refreshed the page and saw another post being pushed to the top.
"Tengda hasn't said anything yet. I wonder what their attitude is?"
"What attitude can they have? They fell to their knees and laughed out loud! I didn't do anything, but IOI self-destructed. "
"I don't think so. IOI's market share in the country is almost lower than Gods Rising. If you were Boss Pei, would you look at such a competitor?"
"That's right. GOG is just one of Tengda's businesses. Boss Pei has so many things to worry about. I'm guessing he wouldn't care about such a small piece of news."
"Let's put it another way. GOG's operations team fell to their knees in the living room. That's not a problem, right?"
"Yes, that's not a problem."
Pei Qian looked at the netizens' discussions, and a question mark slowly floated above his head.
？
What did they mean by falling to their knees in the living room and laughing out loud?
I'm very worried for them, alright!
What did they mean by not taking a second look and not taking it to heart?
I'm taking it to heart!
Pei Qian had been thinking about this matter ever since Lin Wan reported the actions of Finger Games. He was more concerned about it than any other business.
The reason why he didn't express his stance was because he was afraid that he would accidentally change the tempo and cause the situation to develop in an even more disadvantageous direction.
It was like a small, weak flame. Pei Qian wanted to blow on it to make it bigger, but he accidentally blew on it too much and blew it out. What would he do then?
In the end, even if he did not express his stance, the netizens had already made up a big drama. Pei Qian felt hopeless.
Who could truly understand Boss Pei's frustration?
Pei Qian sighed silently. There was a limit to what he could do now. He could only watch carefully from the sidelines in order to protect the last spark of IOI's local server.
…
At the same time, at the headquarters of Long Yu Corporation.
The full name of Long Yu Corporation was Shanghai Long Yu Network Development Co., Ltd. Its main business included a variety of online interactive entertainment content and services. Self-developed and acting as agents for games were one of its main businesses and also the majority of its income.
However, Long Yu Corporation was also a company with a mixed reputation in the country.
The games developed by Long Yu Corporation were mainly online games with paywalls. Among all the games companies, it was the slowest to transform into mobile games. However, with the accumulation of client-side games, it was still ranked at the top of the domestic games industry. It was a well-deserved giant enterprise.
The reason why it had a mixed reputation was because they had developed online games with heavy paywalls. What's more, they did not look good. They had been scolded a lot even though they made a lot of money;
At the same time, Long Yu Corporation had acted as an agent for many successful foreign games. However, many of them had failed in their operations. The result of failing in their operations was often that they would give up and increase their paywalls to squeeze out the last bucket of gold. They had been scolded a lot because of this.
However, to be fair, Long Yu Corporation was not very bad. Its reputation was even much better than a "cancer" company like Dayak Corporation. After all, there were many games that had been messed up, but there were also games that had been successfully managed. Compared to the domestic manufacturers that died one after another, it was considered not bad.
Many players still had high hopes for Long Yu Corporation because of their peers.
There were many reasons why Dayak Corporation and Finger Games chose Long Yu Corporation as the operator of the local server.
First of all, one of the important reasons why Dayak Corporation decided to look for an operator was that they realized that they could not handle IOI's localized operations in China.
Finding a local agent, especially this kind of big company with financial resources and rich agent experience, was indeed advantageous in terms of local operations.
Secondly, Long Yu Corporation offered the highest price and gave the most concessions among all the companies. In Dayak Corporation's opinion, their sincerity was the best.
When looking for an operating company, different operating companies had different requirements for authority.
Dayak Corporation and Finger Games were more demanding in this aspect. They were still unwilling to give up too much on these authorities even though they had found an agent. Thus, they were more inclined to choose an operation company like Long Yu Corporation that did not have so many requirements.
Finally, there were other considerations. For example, Long Yu Corporation had a ready-made account system that could direct traffic to IOI through their own games. For example, IOI's China headquarters was in Shanghai. Long Yu Corporation's headquarters was also in Shanghai. It was more convenient for timely communication, and so on.
No matter what the gamers thought, Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation were very satisfied with this cooperation.
To Long Yu Corporation, IOI might have been attacked by GOG in the world, but it was far from losing. It still had quite a good influence. As for the local server, IOI, it might be dead, but it was also a good opportunity to take advantage of it.
Long Yu Corporation did need a good client-side game project as its next phase of operation.
Thus, both parties hit it off and placed great importance on this cooperation.
At that moment, the representatives of both parties were having a friendly discussion at the headquarters of Long Yu Corporation.
Long Yu Corporation's Senior Vice President, Zhao Xuming, had once been the marketing director of Long Yu Corporation. He had been promoted to Vice President two years ago because of his outstanding work results.
This time, Long Yu Corporation and Dayak Corporation had cooperated to set up a special IOI operations cooperation department. Zhao Xuming was the person-in-charge, in charge of IOI's operations and the docking with Finger Games.
On Finger Games' side, the representative for the meeting was, of course, Chrétien, who had just taken office and was trying his best to facilitate this cooperation.
The content of this meeting was mainly to discuss the operation strategy of IOI's local server and matters related to IOI's first world finals.
Zhao Xuming smiled. "We've been paying attention to the current public opinion on the internet. We don't know about the public opinion overseas, and that's not our responsibility. However, I can guarantee that it won't be a big problem for domestic players. "
"At the moment, the most intense reaction is mainly from the old players. According to our survey data, passers-by players are still very responsive to this change. "
"Considering that IOI's market share is already very low, our main goal must be to pull more new players into the pit. If we only satisfy the old players and there is not enough new blood, the old players will slowly disappear sooner or later. "
"On the other hand, if we serve the new players well, even if the old players curse, they will actually be more tolerant. They will not lose a large number of them immediately. When there are more and more new players, the old players will naturally feel 'good' again. "
"Of course, we will definitely consider public opinion. At least we will be able to save face. For example, some people suggest giving some compensation to the old players. I think this is a good idea. We should specially develop a skin or commemorative portrait for the old players. That should be able to calm the public opinion. "
Chrétien nodded. "Yes, we believe in the abilities of Boss Zhao and Long Yu Corporation. We can also fully cooperate with the development of the skin. What does Boss Zhao plan to do about the world finals? "
Zhao Xuming smiled. "That's easy. GOG's international invitational tournament was held two months earlier than ours. We might have the upper hand, but we also have an advantage: we can fully absorb their experience. "
"We have to be more than them in terms of the prize pool. This is a matter of pride. What's more, it's not bad to use the champion's skin as a bonus. We can use it to learn. What's more, our skins are sold at a higher price and have a higher commission. The prize pool will definitely look better. "
Chrétien nodded. "Yes, we've considered that as well. We definitely don't have to worry about money. "
"We were a little nervous about cash flow previously, but it has eased a lot now. What's more, our two families are jointly funding this time. There's no reason for us to provide less resources than Tengda. "
"However, what we're worried about now is the problem of the participating teams."
Chrétien paused for a moment and added, "There's definitely no problem in Europe and America."
Zhao Xuming immediately understood what he meant.
That meant that the domestic clubs and IOI teams were very problematic!
That was indeed the case. IOI's market share in the country had been severely squeezed and lacked soil. Many IOI branch members had transferred to GOG some time ago. Thus, even if the global finals were held, it was still a question if there would be enough domestic teams to participate.
Zhao Xuming quickly said, "Yes, that's what we're worried about as well."
"However, according to our investigation some time ago, the situation is quite optimistic."
"Eric had provided a certain amount of subsidies to various clubs to promote IOI previously, so some clubs still retain IOI branches."
"What's more, many players from IOI did not integrate well after they switched to GOG. Many people still want to come back and play IOI."
"These people can't play as the main force in GOG's first-string team and don't have many opportunities to play. They would definitely be very willing to play in the IOI finals."
"I've already arranged the itinerary. I'll go to the various domestic clubs in the next two days to contact them. There will definitely be no problems with the teams."
"However, I just hope that we can take care of the competition schedule and arrange some weaker opponents for these teams in the group stages. Otherwise, the situation might be ugly."
Chrétien nodded. "That's not a problem. However, the performance of these teams cannot be too bad. Otherwise, it would be useless to just rely on grouping. "
Zhao Xuming smiled. "Of course! I've already sent someone to investigate and locked onto some good seedlings. We'll definitely be able to pull out a few strong teams! "
