Chapter 194 Perfect Start

Pei Qian thought for a long time, completely at a loss.

This seemed to be a catch-22.

The root of IOI's criticism from players was that it raised skin prices for profit, making it less conscientious and more exploitative compared to GOG.

But Pei Qian couldn't possibly let GOG follow IOI and raise prices!

GOG's skin prices and various charges were already at an extremely low level; even a slight increase would be a large percentage increase.

For example, raising a 10 RMB skin to 15 or even 20 RMB might upset some players, but the price of the skin would still not be considered expensive.

Those who wanted to buy skins would still buy them.

But in that case, GOG's earnings would increase significantly!

Although such a thing would slightly damage the reputation in the long run, Pei Qian couldn't consider things that far ahead.

As soon as the price increased, this settlement cycle would be directly ruined.

Therefore, GOG's charges could only decrease, not increase. Pei Qian had no way back.

Tengda couldn't raise prices under any circumstances, and Dayak Group couldn't lower prices under any circumstances.

Wasn't that awkward?

Therefore, Pei Qian racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.

"Forget it. I can't think of a good solution in a hurry. If I don't consider it carefully and it backfires, giving IOI another blow, that would be a disaster."

"Let's wait and think about it slowly."

"Anyway, IOI has a solid foundation, and the Dayak Group is large and powerful. It should be no problem to hold on for a few more months."

"I'll take advantage of these months to think of a way to save IOI."

Pei Qian felt very sad. This cycle had just started, and he kept hearing bad news.

He continued reading the reports sent by other departments.

Suddenly, Pei Qian's eyes lit up.

"Huh? The Dawn Games platform is doing well. It's a perfect start!"

"Little Tang, well done! I didn't misjudge you!"

"Meng Chang is doing well too. I didn't place my hopes on you for nothing!"

The report sent by the Dawn Games platform was almost all good news for Pei Qian.

Because of Little Tang's existence, all the companies that went to the Dawn Games platform were dissuaded by the bugs. Some simply didn't cooperate. Even the companies that stayed and insisted on cooperating were stuck in a long and tedious bug-finding process.

The game platform was forced to launch a trial operation, but the entire platform only had four playable games. Many players felt like they were being played, and were furious.

Meng Chang adopted a very mediocre promotional plan, and only promoted it when the platform wasn't launched and there were no games, resulting in a very low conversion rate and extremely poor results.

It was perfect!

Even if these games were launched, they were just some very ordinary mobile games, completely unable to reverse the current situation.

In short, the situation was excellent!

Pei Qian hadn't had such a comfortable start in a long time. It seemed that Meng Chang had completely understood after deciding to stay. He had finally found the trick to getting commission!

That was gratifying.

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

Judging from the current situation, Meng Chang was basically guaranteed to get the base commission. He also had a good chance of getting the commission at the end of the month.

Encouraging him would allow him to continue his efforts in reverse promotion. After the Dawn Games platform collapsed this month, it would create a money-burning tree for him. Then, next month, he could change to another industry and create another money-burning tree.

Planting them one by one like this, he would eventually be able to create a forest of money-burning trees!

It was of great significance.

Pei Qian immediately called Meng Chang.

"Hello? President Pei?" Meng Chang's slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

Obviously, he didn't expect President Pei to call him.

Pei Qian was very happy. "I've seen the current situation of the Dawn Games platform, and I'm very satisfied!"

"It seems that you have understood and mastered the correct promotion methods."

"I am proud of you!"

"Keep it up, do a good job of finishing up, and the commission is waving to you!"

"In the future, you must remember this experience, continue to work hard, and strive to create greater glories!"

Pei Qian didn't skimp on praise.

Whoever could make him lose money was his good brother!

What was wrong with praising his good brother a few times?

Meng Chang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying excitedly, "Thank you, President Pei!"

"Before, my comprehension was too low, which led to many times of not getting commission. After seeing your operation, I finally realized how to make a promotional plan!"

"President Pei, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job of finishing up and get a high commission!"

Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Well, that's right. Meng Chang's work attitude was finally right.

Getting a basic salary several times before was obviously too much of a blow to him. Now he was finally gradually adjusting.

The previous Meng Chang had the heart but lacked the strength. Although Pei Qian trusted him very much, Meng Chang couldn't complete the task well.

The current Meng Chang had both the heart and the strength. Pei Qian felt that this was the script he was expecting!

"Okay, when you get the commission this month, I will definitely prepare a medal for you to commend your contribution!"

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian felt much better.

He was just waiting for the day he could issue Meng Chang's commission!

……

At the same time, Meng Chang also hung up the phone.

"President Pei actually called me personally, and praised me greatly in an uncharacteristic manner!"

"This shows that President Pei understands my promotional plan!"

"No, I can't say that. This plan of mine was taught by President Pei in the first place. It can't be said that President Pei understands it, but that President Pei has been teaching me for a long time, and he is very gratified to see that I have finally learned it! That's why he called!"

"This shows that the 'Pei-style promotion method' that I summarized is completely correct and completely in line with President Pei's expectations."

"But there seems to be one more problem."

"I haven't figured out what the explosive point is yet, but judging from President Pei's tone, it seems that everything has already been settled in his opinion? Can I congratulate myself in advance?"

"Did President Pei mistakenly think that I have already thought of that key explosive point and entry point?"

Meng Chang fell into deep thought again.

Before President Pei called, he was thinking about the most important link in this promotional plan: how to complete the turnaround through a unique concept. This was the core of the entire "Pei-style promotion method."

But he had never found this point.

For Meng Chang, as long as he persevered until the end of the month, he would get the commission. What the Dawn Games platform became afterward had nothing to do with him, because he would be responsible for the promotion of other projects next month.

Therefore, this explosive point must be found as soon as possible.

Because only by accurately identifying this explosive point could he spend money like crazy around this explosive point before the end of the month, without worrying about accidents, so that the entire promotional plan would be in a completely controllable state, and he could pursue higher commissions.

If he didn't accurately identify it, then continuing to spend money might mistakenly lead to the explosive point being detonated before the end of the month, thereby directly clearing the commission.

Several previous promotional plans were like this, because the promotional funds were invested too carelessly, leading to a chain reaction in the entire project, which suddenly became popular, and Meng Chang's commission was directly reduced to nothing.

But if he could accurately find this explosive point, he could control its detonation time and postpone it to the beginning of next month.

Only in this way could he maximize the commission he received.

"What exactly is this explosive point?"

"Judging from President Pei's tone, he seems to think that I have already found it."

"Is it the bugs on the platform's games?"

"It may have some influence, but it should only fuel the flames and cannot play a decisive role."

"Most likely, President Pei buried a foreshadowing at the beginning, waiting for me to discover it."

Thinking of this, Meng Chang immediately tried hard to recall President Pei's initial requirements for the Dawn Games platform.

At that time, Meng Chang was in President Pei's office, and the two of them talked a lot. And what President Pei said the most was the "trial period" rule of the Dawn Games platform, that is, players could decide which games to keep and which games to remove through voting within the rules.

Currently, the Dawn Games platform has just started its trial operation. There are few players and few games, so this rule has not attracted much attention.

But as these games are fully opened and the number of players continues to increase, this point will definitely be discovered.

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

"I understand!"

"So, I should focus on this point for follow-up promotion, invest all the promotional funds in it, and continue to create controversy. As long as I control this explosive point and let it explode at the beginning of next month, then I can get the commission very smoothly!"

"But… there is still a lack of a fuse."

"This fuse must be handled well. If it's too short, it will explode this month, and the commission will be lost."

"This fuse seems to only be Joe-laoshi. He poses a huge threat to my commission!" (Joe-laoshi, internet slang for "Old Joe")

After talking to President Pei on the phone, Meng Chang reviewed the entire promotional plan again from beginning to end and found that everything was going smoothly!

The only problem was the fuse.

The so-called explosive point is that after experiencing an interpretation or an event, the foreshadowing buried by President Pei is known to everyone, and the heat accumulated from previous promotions explodes completely, transforming into real heat.

And this explosive point needs certain means to detonate it, that is, the fuse.

For example, the fuse for the popularity of the game *Turning Back is the Shore* was Joe-laoshi's video. Through the interpretation of "breaking the dimensional wall," players completely accepted the game, so the game became a big hit.

For President Pei's projects, each one has an explosive point buried in it, and each one is destined to explode, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

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

Suppose Meng Chang dragged it out to get a commission, but in the process, Joe-laoshi suddenly released a video interpretation, detonating it in advance. Wouldn't Meng Chang's commission be completely gone?

The previous method Meng Chang thought of was to let Joe-laoshi go busy with other things, to try out games at Late Arrival Studio.

But now it seems that this method won't work and is very unstable.

Now Meng Chang has thought of a better way: to communicate with Joe-laoshi!

He didn't know if Joe-laoshi was paying attention to the Dawn Games platform, and he didn't know if Joe-laoshi would suddenly release an episode of video interpretation of the Dawn Games platform, so there was a certain risk.

This time, Meng Chang decided to find a suitable time to contact Joe-laoshi privately and tell him the explosive point.

The advantage of doing so was that Meng Chang could ask Joe-laoshi to postpone the detonation time.

For example, asking Joe-laoshi to release the video next month.

Wouldn't that make it foolproof?
