Chapter 1548 New Goals for Chaolu Games Platform

Friday, March 29th.

Pei Qian arrived at the Chaolu Games Platform early in the morning and called Tang Yishu and Li Yada to a meeting in the conference room.

Li Yada and Tang Yishu were both surprised. Wasn't President Pei in seclusion?

To make a special trip during seclusion, could it be that something was wrong with their work?

Li Yada was about to ask, but Pei Qian stopped her.

"I'm here this time simply to tell you about the future work arrangements for the Chaolu Games Platform."

Actually, Li Yada wasn't wrong. Pei Qian was indeed quite dissatisfied with the current state of the Chaolu Games Platform, but what could he do about it? This was a natural disaster, not a man-made one.

So Pei Qian didn't dwell on this point too much. He just wanted to cut the Gordian knot and arrange these things as soon as possible, and then continue to return to his seclusion.

His thesis wasn't finished yet!

Li Yada nodded, "Okay, President Pei, please speak."

Pei Qian considered it for a moment and then said, "There are mainly three points."

"First, bring all of Tenda Games over and put them on the Chaolu Games Platform."

"Second, the profit sharing between the Chaolu Games Platform and developers will be further adjusted, with the platform only taking 10%. At the same time, increase the discount力度 on all games on the platform, and give away good free games as much as possible, especially our own games."

"Third, led by the Chaolu Games Platform, let Tenda Games, Shang Yang Games, and all other departments cooperate to strive for the support of the official platform to develop a 'Chaolu Game Editor'."

Pei Qian's attitude was very simple: spend money, spend money at all costs!

Putting Tenda Games on the Chaolu Games Platform was because it couldn't be hidden anymore, so he wouldn't pretend anymore.

After it was listed, he could get more price reduction and discount quotas from the system.

Because the main battlefield for Tenda Games sales was basically the official game platform, and Tenda had no say in the official game platform's discount promotions.

Even if Pei Qian wanted to lower the price, he would have to ask the official platform to agree first, and the process had to be followed.

Moreover, applying for a price reduction activity on the official platform required not only the consent of the official platform, but also the consent of the system.

It was different on the Chaolu Games Platform. Selling the game at a low price, in the system's view, was a way to promote the Chaolu Games Platform through promotional activities, a kind of behavior that burned money to earn word-of-mouth and market share, so the restrictions would be relatively loose.

As a result, Tenda Games could be sold at a considerably low price on the Chaolu Games Platform. In this way, although it might achieve the effect of small profits but quick turnover, the short-term revenue would definitely decline a lot.

Reducing the platform's commission, increasing the game's discount力度, and giving away some high-quality free games as much as possible were all methods he had come up with to burn money.

At present, the commission taken by these channel providers in China was basically random, and some were even over 70%.

Of course, those were basically some small channel providers, and the high commission was just to bully those small mobile game development companies. Even those large channels with strong bargaining power basically took 50% or 30% in the presence of the official platform.

The official platform defaults to taking 50% from general game merchants, and rewards excellent game merchants by changing it to 30% or even lower.

The official platform's commission was essentially different from that of general channels. The commission taken by general channels did not have much constructive significance, but the official platform's commission had practical significance.

For example, using the money to continue developing and improving the official editor, or using the money as a fund to support domestic game manufacturers, and so on.

But in general, the commission taken by domestic channel providers was basically no lower than 30%.

Was it necessary to have 30% to maintain the platform's operation? Of course not. It was simply because everyone tacitly and very tacitly划定了 this 30% line to ensure that everyone could have a relatively comfortable profit margin and could lie down and make money by means of the platform.

Speaking of which, a 30% commission was lower than that of the official platform.

But the official platform would do things with the money it took, while the other channels would not give the money back to the game industry.

And Pei Qian's last request was to open a bottomless pit for spending money.

Make Tenda's own game editor!

At present, the mainstream editor for game development in China was the official game editor. There were also other editors, but they were relatively niche and unpopular.

The official editor was developed on the basis of integrating some editors, and after the improvement of many people. It was already the most user-friendly game editor. For some independent game producers, the learning cost was not high. As long as they could study it steadily, this editor was enough to meet most of the game development needs.

But precisely because of this, Pei Qian decided to integrate resources again and develop a new editor!

With this bottomless pit open, wouldn't it be easy to lose money?

The key was that with the official editor in front, the probability of the Chaolu Game Editor becoming a hit and making a lot of money was very small, almost negligible.

Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Ah? President Pei, isn't... isn't this step a little too big?"

"The first two points can be understood. Our platform is about to start expanding, but the game editor... can't be completed overnight!"

"What's more, the official platform's editor is actually very easy to use. We can completely develop some new functional modules on the basis of the official platform's editor to optimize and improve it. There's no need to build an editor from scratch, right?"

Pei Qian smiled. He had been prepared for this.

"It is precisely because the game editor cannot be completed overnight that we must start this work as soon as possible!"

"Is the official platform's editor really easy to use? Or is it just because everyone has adapted to it, so they think it's easy to use?"

Speaking of this, Pei Qian couldn't help but secretly slander, the official platform's editor was easy to use my ass!

When he was developing *Lonely Desert Road*, he had tried hard to learn the official editor, but he didn't learn anything.

He could understand it at a glance, but he couldn't use it at all!

In the end, he had no choice but to directly套了个 a ready-made template, and then used some of the content he barely mastered to make a few simple functions.

Of course, the game eventually became a hit, but that was another story...

But no matter what, Pei Qian felt that he was not wrong to say that the official platform's editor was not easy to use.

Pei Qian paused and continued, "Many people are already doing small repairs and patches on the basis of the original official editor. But if this continues, sooner or later it will become a mountain of shit like old code."

"The more reluctant you are to abandon the original editor and write a new editor, the higher the sunk costs will be. So, it's better to start as soon as possible!"

"You can't not do something just because it's difficult and has a low cost performance. If everyone thought that way, how could there be a epoch-making game editor?"

"What's more, I'm not asking you to reach the sky in one step. You can take your time."

"In the beginning, you can start with some basic functions. The first version is mainly for independent game producers, and then the subsequent versions can be continuously improved."

Pei Qian's remarks completely convinced Li Yada.

Well, President Pei is President Pei, what he said makes a lot of sense!

Conventional thinking is really not advisable. To keep up with President Pei's thinking at Tenda, your vision must be forward-looking, your vision must be broad, and your action and execution must be the strongest!

This editor is indeed very difficult to develop.

The official platform has concentrated so many resources and manpower, and spent so much effort to develop it. Let alone the Chaolu Games Platform itself?

Of course, President Pei also said that Li Yada can call on Tenda's resources, including the internal game department, the independent game incubation base, Round Dream Ventures, and the help of some external companies and even the official platform, all of which can be integrated.

These resources are definitely enough, the key is how to coordinate them, and what exactly to make this editor look like.

For this kind of mega-project, the direction can be said to be a mile off, and it is already difficult enough to integrate resources and allow all participants to do their jobs well.

It's very challenging, but Li Yada feels that since President Pei has entrusted her with this important task, she must not let down President Pei's expectations!

After all, she is also the third generation of Tenda. Huang Sibo and Lü Mingliang have already支棱起来, she can't just keep guarding the Chaolu Games Platform and not do anything. It's time to make some earth-shattering achievements!

Pei Qian nodded very satisfied, and then glanced at Little Tang, with an undisguised smile on his face.

Let Little Tang continue to stay and be responsible for the development of the Chaolu Game Editor!

Although it was a little cruel to do so, in order to settle this cycle, he could only ask the comrades to work a little harder!

"Okay, then that's it, I'm leaving first."

Pei Qian stood up, ready to go back to rest with satisfaction.

As a result, just as he turned to leave, his phone vibrated.

Pei Qian took out his phone and frowned slightly: "Huh? Outu Technology has something to report about phones and smart new products?"

His original intention was not to go.

Because Pei Qian didn't have any particularly good ideas for Outu Technology recently.

If Pei Qian had ideas similar to the "fully automatic intelligent arguing machine" or the "smart fitness drying rack", he would definitely run to Outu Technology in the first place, call Chang You and Jiang Yuan to the conference room, and then arrange everything.

Although the arguing machine and the drying rack still made money in the end, they were at least one step away from losing money, very close.

What's the use of going if he doesn't have any good ideas?

The ideas that Pei Qian thought of were either a little too likely to make money, or they were too outrageous to not be suspicious, so he hadn't paid special attention to the affairs of Outu Technology.

But Pei Qian thought about it, and still had to go.

Because Outu Technology said that they had something to report about phones and smart new products, it must be a relatively important matter, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered him.

If he didn't go and see, what if it became a hit?

If he went to see, there might still be room for some saving operation.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian set off for Outu Technology.
