Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

, The fastest update to become the richest man in the latest chapter from the beginning of the game!

Sun Xi nodded: "That's it, I understand."

"But I still have a problem, which is the price of the skin."

"As Mr. Pei said, you can charge for skins, so why not have a higher price? Bullet Mark 2 does not constitute a competitive relationship with GOG. It is not surprising that two different game types have different prices for skins. "

"The number of players in "Bullet Mark 2" as an FPS game is inherently small. The skin price is low and the profit is naturally low. If the sales volume fails, then won't it fall into a vicious circle?"

"I think it would be better to set the skin price higher at the beginning. If the profitability is more optimistic, then gradually discounting and reducing prices can also stimulate consumption, and it will be more secure."

Pei Qian: "..."

Good guy, sure enough, the people outside are not too foolish.

Although the group of people in Tenda's game department is also very professional, but in general, they trust Mr. Pei too much, so even if they have questions, they will not ask more, but will think for themselves.

People at Tianhuo Studio's problem is obviously sharper.

But this little problem is obviously not enough to embarrass Pei Qian.

Even the veterans of the game circle like Old Man He An can fool around, but is it not easy to clean up a few young people?

Pei Qian thought for a while and said, "I think this is a question of whether there is a chicken or an egg first."

"The player said: if your skin is cheaper, I will buy more."

"The game dealer said: You buy more first, and then my skin is discounted."

"No one is willing to give in first, then this will fall into an endless loop."

"If, as you said, you sell at a high price first, and then slowly discount it later, then I ask you: If the skin sells well at a high price then, would you still be willing to make a substantial discount? If you discount, you will get a 50% discount. Is the three-fold discount or even lower? I’m afraid it’s a 20% discount or a 30-fold discount at most."

"If the skin doesn't sell well, will the price of the skin be too high if the price is discounted again, making players gloat and even less likely to buy?"

"So, your idea is very optimistic and beautiful, but the actual operability is not strong."

"If you didn't do some things at the beginning, then the difficulty of doing them halfway is unimaginable."

"As for the issue of game groups..."

"It's also a question of whether the chicken or the egg came first."

"If a certain game is not attractive enough to players, then there will naturally be fewer players; there are fewer players, low income from the game, and no money for subsequent updates, and the game's attractiveness to players will further decline."

"Over time, this is a vicious circle."

"So, if you don’t succeed, you will be benevolent. If you want to do it, do your best. At the beginning, keep the price down, so that players feel embarrassed for not spending money, and make them feel that it is not human if they don’t buy such cheap skin. cycle!"

Pei Qian's expression was quite serious, and he conquered everyone in terms of momentum.

Sun Xi nodded, he had nothing to say.

Mr. Pei means that although there are not many players now, as long as "Bullet Mark 2" is good enough and conscientious enough, there will always be more players in the future.

This is something that will happen in the future, no one can judge it, so there is no way to deny it.

Otherwise, isn't that bad for yourself?

The game hasn't been released yet, so first consider what to do if there are no players to play. That would be too discouraging.

Therefore, in this direction, the topic has stopped.

Zhou Muyan coughed slightly, "Well, that's how the charging mode is set."

"But I think Longyu Group should have quite a bit of criticism regarding this charging model..."

Skin pricing is cheap, which is obviously not conducive to making money for Longyu Group.

Tianhuo Studio is a research and development company, and Longyu Group is an operating company. Obviously, the operating company cares more about this aspect.

Pei Qian chuckled, "Why do you care about their thoughts so much? Pricing the game cannot be done by the operating company. It's like taking a small fish to ask a cat to eat or not. There will only be one answer. "

The goal of the operating company is to "make the game run better" if it sounds good, and "make more money" if it sounds bad.

These two statements look the same on the surface, but in actual operation they often produce large deviations, getting closer and closer to the latter, and farther and farther from the former.

Zhou Muyan nodded and silently gave President Pei a thumbs up.

Sure enough, a powerful game producer like President Pei can already completely ignore the operators' opinions.

Even President Pei's own operational skill is unique in the world, why bother to consider what Longyu Group thinks? GOG can hit ioi to find teeth, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Well, then the problem of the charging model is also solved, and then there is only the problem of style."

"President Pei, what kind of style do you think is more appropriate?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Listen to everyone's opinions first."

Zhou Muyan looked at Sun Xi again.

Sun Xi pondered for a moment, and said: "The success of "Sea Fortress" lies in the relatively exaggerated and cool appearance of epic weapons such as Fire Kirin and Barrett. It can be seen that most players say they want to be realistic, but you can add It will smell really good after the special effects."

"I think we have to work hard in this direction, to be a little exaggerated and cool."

Designers including Zhou Muyan nodded.

This is what they analyzed when they summarized the failure experience of "Bullet Marks", and it can be said to be a consensus within Skyfire Studio.

However, at this moment, a voice said quietly: "Is it? I think that weapons are a bit low-key, simple, and realistic. There is nothing wrong with it."

Everyone turned their heads swiftly and found that it was Mr. Pei who was speaking.

Silence fell in the meeting room.

It feels... Is the role of the two parties swapped?

Shouldn't it be Tenda who madly talked about the successful experience of "Sea Fortress", and then Tianhuo Studio said that they should stick to their own ideas?

Why is it the other way around?

Now that Tianhuo Studio has been trying to use the successful experience of "Sea Fortress", Mr. Pei hesitated to deny it.

It's outrageous!

Sun Xi tentatively asked: "Mr. Pei, you mean that we plan to sell skins to make money, and the gun skins are still low-key, simple and realistic..."

Pei Qian nodded: "What's the matter? I think it's low-key, simple, and realistic, and does not conflict with what is done well and uniquely."

Everyone fell silent again.

Good guy, I've let you talk all the right and wrong, but it's okay!

Mr. Pei’s words simply reminded everyone of that kind of unscrupulous party A. Opening his mouth is "colorful black" and "colorful white", directly giving a contradictory request, anyway, what it will look like in the end. , Can pick the fault from Party B.

Zhou Muyan said with emotion: "President Pei, you really do what you want with Mr. Ruan..."

"Could you let Mr. Ruan lend us two days? I think only he can handle this kind of request."

Let Ruan Guangjian paint?

How can that work!

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Ruan Guangjian may not be able to get out of his body. Tenda also has many projects left to him."

"Furthermore, doesn't Tianhuo Studio have its own original painter and modeler? There is no need to stay close and farther. I think the painters on your side are also quite good."

Zhou Muyan was a little helpless: "But they are only good at writing propositions!"

The painters at Tianhuo Studio are basically creating in strict accordance with the needs of designers, and have become accustomed to this working mode.

Speaking of giving a broad concept directly, and then letting the painters play freely?

It's too difficult for them.

Ruan Guangjian has been designing independently from the beginning, and has been cooperating with Tenda for so long, so his skill in style control is not comparable to ordinary painters.

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "There is always the first time in everything."

"I think the painters in Tianhuo Studio are relatively good. Since they have been cooperating for so long, they are all trustworthy. Let them give it a try, maybe there will be some brighter results."

Zhou Muyan and the designers looked at each other, seeing similar expressions on each other's faces.

President Pei, do you think everyone is the boss of Ruan?

As far as the level of this group of painters in our company is concerned, we really can't believe it!

The requirements are clearly given, but the result is still easy to ridicule. If they are allowed to design freely, wouldn’t they have to ridicule?

But you can't say this directly, otherwise, the art director will be mad if it spreads out.

When the time comes, the art group will give them a collective protest, which is indeed too much.

So everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one said anything.

Pei Qian just couldn't ask for it.

Since you are all right, then I am going to slip away!

He looked at Min Jingchao: "How about it, do you have a general idea?"

Pei Qian didn't want to say more, because if he said more, he would lose it.

What if there is a contradiction after talking?

Therefore, as long as Min Jingchao said that it was almost done, he would immediately drive off.

Min Jingchao looked at the content on the small notebook, recalled the "Pei Chief Intention Analysis Method" and Hu Xianbin's previous design experience, and said, "Well... it's a little bit more eye-catching."

Hearing these words, Pei Qian immediately stood up: "Okay, then we will live together!"

"Everyone, let the meeting go, and wait for Min Jing to come up with the big game plan for more than two days before assigning you tasks."

"Zhou, the chief executive officer of the "Bullet Scar 2" project, slowly decide. If you are undecided, you can discuss with Min Jingchao."

Zhou Muyan was stunned, and this series of words made him feel sincerely confused.

What the **** is going to end?

I haven't decided anything at all!

After discussing up to now, I only know that the feel of this game is similar to "Bullet Mark". The skin is sold in a fee-based model, and the style is "simple, realistic and unique"...

Even the prototype of the game is still undecided.

As for the main executive strategy for Min Jingchao, there is no clue at all.

Zhou Muyan originally wanted these designers to come and listen, and they would provide suggestions at the meeting to see who has more confidence in this project and a more suitable resume, and then arrange who to do it.

The result is not good now, these designers are like him, listening to a lonely.

I didn't find a chance to speak at all. The meeting was over.

These people must also have a confused look~www.ltnovel.com~ They don't know how to do this project at all, and they are just asking for nothing.

Everyone looked at Min Jingchao.

The meaning is very clear: we don’t understand if we don’t understand, if you don’t understand, hurry up and keep President Pei!

After all, you are the chief designer, and you will have to develop this game.

However, Min Jingchao nodded: "Okay, President Pei, I think it's almost done."

"..." Everyone fell silent.

This kind of superiors and subordinates is also absolutely absolutely.

One dare to send a task, and one dare to take it!

Could this be too sloppy!
