Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1189: Boss Pei’s Commendation Over the Phone!

Pei Qian thought for a long time but was completely helpless.

This seemed to be a vicious cycle.

That was because the root of IOI’s criticisms by gamers was that it had increased the price of skins in order to make a profit. Thus, compared to GOG, it was not conscientious enough. It had a strong intention of scamming money.

However, Pei Qian could not possibly allow GOG to increase prices with IOI!

The price of GOG’s skin and various fees had been lowered to a very low level. The slight increase would be very high.

For example, if the 10 yuan skin was raised to 15 yuan or even 20 yuan, even though some players were dissatisfied, the price of the skin would not be too expensive.

Those who wanted to buy skins would still buy them.

However, GOG would earn a lot more money that way!

Even though this would damage his reputation in the long term, how could Pei Qian think so far ahead?

The settlement cycle would probably fail once the price increased.

Thus, GOG’s fees could only be reduced, not raised. There was no retreat for Pei Qian.

No matter what, Tengda could not raise the price. Dayak Corporation could not lower the price.

Wouldn’t that be awkward?

Thus, Pei Qian thought hard for a long time but could not think of a solution.

“Forget it. I can’t think of a good solution in a hurry. What if I don’t consider it well enough and cause the opposite effect, giving IOI another stab? That would be a huge problem.”

“We should wait and think about it slowly.”

“IOI has a solid foundation anyway. Dayak Corporation is a huge business. It should not be a problem to last a few months.”

“I’ll take advantage of these few months to think of a way to get IOI out.”

Pei Qian felt very sad. This cycle had just started and he was already receiving bad news.

He continued reading the reports from the other departments.

Suddenly, Pei Qian’s eyes lit up.

“Eh? Dawn Games is doing well. It’s a perfect start!”

“Good job, Little Tang! I was right about you!”

“Meng Chang did well. My expectations of you were not in vain!”

The report from Zhaolu Games was almost all good news for Pei Qian.

Due to Little Tang’s existence, all the companies that went to look for Dawn gaming platform were dissuaded by the bugs. Some decided not to cooperate directly. Even the companies that stayed to insist on working with them fell into a long and boring process of looking for bugs.

The gaming platform forcefully went online to test the game. In the end, there were only four games available on the entire platform. Many players were being played like monkeys and were furious.

Meng Chang used a very mediocre publicity plan. What’s more, he specially chose when the platform was not online and when there were no games to advertise. This caused the publicity plan’s conversion rate to be very low and the effect was extremely poor.

It was perfect!

What’s more, even if these games were released, they would only be ordinary mobile games. It would not be enough to turn the situation around.

All in all, the situation was great!

Pei Qian had not encountered such a comfortable start in a long time. It looked like Meng Chang had completely enlightened himself after deciding to stay. He had finally found the knack of getting commission!

It was worth celebrating.

Pei Qian was very happy and decided to give Meng Chang a call to encourage him.

From the current situation, Meng Chang’s guaranteed commission was basically stable. There was also a lot of hope for him to get the commission at the end of the month.

He could encourage him to continue working hard to advertise in the opposite direction. After the Dawn gaming platform collapses this month, he could create a money-burning tree for himself. Then, he could create another industry next month and create another money-burning tree.

If he continued to plant them one by one, he would sooner or later become a money-burning forest!

It was very meaningful.

Pei Qian immediately called Meng Chang.

“Hello? Boss Pei?” Meng Chang sounded slightly surprised.

Obviously, he did not expect Boss Pei to take the initiative to call.

Pei Qian was very happy. “I’ve seen the current situation of Dawn Games and am very satisfied!”

“It looks like you’ve figured it out and grasped the right publicity method.”

“I’m proud of you!”

“Continue persevering and finish the work. The commission is beckoning to you!”

“You have to remember this experience in the future, continue working hard and try to create glory!”

Pei Qian was not stingy with his praise.

Whoever could make me incur losses would be my good brother!

What was wrong with praising his brother?

Meng Chang was silent for a moment at the other end of the line before saying excitedly, “Thank you, Boss Pei!”

“Previously, it was because I was too slow that I did not get commission many times. After seeing your operation, I finally understood how to do the publicity plan!”

“Don’t worry, Boss Pei. I’ll finish the job and get a high commission!”

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, not bad. Meng Chang’s working attitude was finally right.

He had received a basic salary several times before. Obviously, it had been a huge blow to him. He was gradually adjusting.

Previously, Meng Chang was helpless even though he wanted to. Pei Qian trusted him very much but Meng Chang could not complete the mission very well.

The current Meng Chang was the one with the heart and strength. Pei Qian felt that this was the script that he was looking forward to!

“Alright, I’ll definitely prepare a medal for you to reward your contributions when you get the commission this month!”

Pei Qian felt much better after hanging up.

He was just waiting for the day he would give Meng Chang a commission!

…

At the same time, Meng Chang hung up.

“Boss Pei actually called me personally and praised me abnormally!”

“This means that Boss Pei understood my publicity plan!”

“That’s not right. You can’t say that. Boss Pei was the one who taught me this plan. I can’t say that Boss Pei understood it. Instead, Boss Pei taught me for a long time. He was very pleased to see that I finally understood it! That’s why he called!”

“This means that the ‘Pei family publicity method’ I summarized is completely correct and completely in line with Boss Pei’s expectations.”

“However, there seems to be another problem.”

“Until now, I have not thought about what the explosive point is. However, from Boss Pei’s tone, it seems like everything has been settled? And he’s congratulating me in advance?”

“Did Boss Pei mistakenly think that I had thought of that critical explosive point and entry point?”

Meng Chang fell into deep thought again.

Before Boss Pei called, he had been thinking about the most important part of this publicity plan. He was thinking about how to make a comeback through a unique concept. This was the core of the entire “Pei family publicity method”.

However, he had never found this point.

Meng Chang would get the commission as long as he persevered until the end of this month. It would have nothing to do with him what Dawn Games platform would become later on because he would be in charge of publicity for other projects next month.

Thus, he had to find this explosive point as soon as possible.

That was because only by finding this explosive point could he burn money crazily around this explosive point before the end of this month. He did not have to worry about any accidents. He could put the entire publicity plan in a completely controllable state and pursue higher commission.

If he did not find it right, he might mistakenly cause the explosion point to explode before the end of the month if he continued to burn money. That would directly clear the commission.

It was the same for the previous publicity plans. That was because the publicity funds were invested too carelessly, causing a chain reaction in the entire project. It suddenly became popular, causing Meng Chang’s commission to disappear.

If he could accurately find this explosive point, he could control the time it would explode and postpone it to the beginning of next month.

That would maximize the commission he had.

“What is this explosive point?”

“From Boss Pei’s tone, he seems to think that I’ve found it.”

“Is it the bugs in the game on the platform?”

“It might have some impact, but it should only add fuel to the fire and not be able to play a decisive role.”

“Boss Pei must have foreshadowed this from the beginning, waiting for me to find out.”

At that thought, Meng Chang immediately tried his best to recall Boss Pei’s initial requirements for Dawn Games.

At that time, Meng Chang was in Boss Pei’s office. The two of them chatted a lot. What Boss Pei said the most was the ‘probation period’ rule of the Dawn games platform. In other words, players could vote within the rules and decide which games to keep and which games to take off.

At the moment, Dawn Games had just started its trial operation. There were very few players and very few games. This rule had not attracted much attention.

However, as these games were fully opened and the number of players increased, this would definitely be discovered.

“Could it be that… the core explosive point is in this place?”

“I understand now!”

“Therefore, I should follow up with the publicity based on this point. I should spend all the publicity funds and continue to create controversy. As long as I control this explosive point and make it explode at the beginning of next month, I can get a commission very smoothly!”

“However… I’m still lacking a fuse.”

“I have to deal with this fuse. If it’s short, it will explode this month. The commission will be ruined.”

“This fuse can only be Teacher Qiao. He is a huge threat to my commission!”

After the call with Boss Pei, Meng Chang ran through the entire publicity plan from beginning to end and realized that everything was going smoothly!

The only problem was the fuse.

The so-called explosive point was that after one interpretation or incident, the foreshadowing buried by Boss Pei was known by everyone. The popularity accumulated by publicity previously exploded and turned into true popularity.

This explosive point required a certain method to detonate, which was the fuse.

For example, the fuse that made Repent and be Saved popular was Teacher Qiao’s video. Through the interpretation of ‘breaking the dimensional wall’, players could completely accept this game. That was why the game was so popular.

For Boss Pei’s projects, every one of them would be explosive. They would all be explosive. It would just be a matter of time.

The reason why Meng Chang wanted to find this explosive point and detonate it personally was to prevent others from detonating it.

If Meng Chang delayed it in order to get the commission, Teacher Qiao would suddenly post a video interpretation during this process and explode in advance. Wouldn’t Meng Chang’s commission be over?

Previously, Meng Chang had thought of a way to get Teacher Qiao to do other things and try playing games at Slow Movement Studio.

However, from the looks of it now, this method would not work. It was not safe.

Now, Meng Chang had thought of a better way: to discuss with Teacher Qiao!

He did not know if Teacher Qiao had paid attention to the games platform, nor did he know if Teacher Qiao would suddenly produce a video to interpret the games platform. Thus, there was a certain risk.

This time, Meng Chang decided to find a suitable time to contact Teacher Qiao in private and take the initiative to tell him the explosive points.

The advantage of this was that Meng Chang could ask Teacher Qiao to postpone the detonation.

For example, requesting Teacher Qiao to only publish a video next month.

Wouldn’t that be foolproof?
