Chapter 33 [Media Plan]
.Because of Feng Yihua's approval, I also believe that she would never be the kind of person who goes back on her word. That night, I asked Pei Yingying to help contact several media outlets, indicating that I was willing to give them some time to conduct an exclusive interview.
Since during this period, both the movie "The Talent Emperor" and the game "The Gate of Depravity" have made Tongda and my name extremely exposed in the media, so when they have the opportunity to do my exclusive interview, those media are very willing.
The appointment was made that night, in Tongda's office, I accepted exclusive interviews from those media outlets.
Of course, I called Long Da before and explained to him that I would borrow the names of Zhao and Wu families. Long Da said that there was no problem. Both of them would respond positively to this matter, and roughly told Long Da about the difficulties he was facing recently, so he hung up the phone.
After those reporters came, they probably met each other in other interviews, so they greeted each other independently as soon as they entered the door, but there was nothing to introduce.
After soaking tea for several reporters, I smiled and said, "Haha, I'm invited you here today. There is a news to announce to everyone. This news is definitely shocking, so I'm sorry that I can't have an exclusive interview with any of your media. It can only be in this form. In fact, I originally thought about whether to hold a press conference to announce the news, but because this news involves some low-key companies, they are unwilling to participate in such public occasions, so I can only do a personal interview and publish the news."
The curiosity of several reporters was suddenly mobilized by me. They took out their recorder pens, turned on the recording function, and prepared to conduct a formal interview.
"In recent media reports, there were different speculations and conjectures about the game called "Depravity Gate" launched by our 11 Plus 9 Game Entertainment Company, which was launched by Tongda, after the internal test, it did not use the internal test to get a good popularity index. The reason we announced before was that some bugs were found during the internal test. Therefore, we wanted to make the game more perfect, so we did not start to be public. This is of course part of the reason. We Tongda has always adhered to the principle of perfecting any project, so this process is necessary. However, there is another factor here, that is, considering the huge sensation caused by the internal test stage of this game in China, it is obvious that among domestic gamers, it has become a game that everyone is looking forward to. This is what we Tongda did not expect before.
We didn't expect that when online games are already overwhelming, our games will be continuously paid attention to by so many gamers. Therefore, our previous investment plan has undergone a series of changes. The original investment intensity can obviously no longer meet the needs of the market, but a large part of our Tongda Group's funds are still invested in other projects. Although there are not many problems with the funds, our Tongda management can't help but feel a little worried. Everyone has also seen the popularity of this game, so for the sake of insurance, we have been communicating and cooperating with a traditional Hong Kong company for a while, and we have finalized our cooperation intention in the afternoon. In other words, Tongda's "Depravity Gate" game has now joined. Previous media players have had a completely new force on whether the server can carry the many players who are influx. It can be said that it has been completely solved."
After hearing my words, several reporters looked at each other. One of the female reporters asked me with great professionalism. "So, Mr. Shi, which company is this Hong Kong company?"
I smiled and looked around the reporters, and then slowly spit out four words, "Feng's Group!"
Several reporters were obviously caught off guard. Unexpectedly, they would be Feng, who could rank among the top ten in Hong Kong. Before that, Feng did not reveal any clues to enter the mainland market. The first cooperation was not their specialty in traditional logistics and department store manufacturing, but a brand new high-tech field. This shocked these reporters!
"The Feng Group, which was ranked seventh in Hong Kong last year, was mentioned by Mr. Shi? "A male reporter was obviously a little unbelievable. After all, there may be another possibility that it is a smaller group named Feng.
I smiled and nodded. "It's them... I believe you all know that Feng Yihua, the daughter of the president of Feng Group, has opened four hotels in Nanjing. This time it is mainly because she is contacting me. Don't worry, boldly write this news in tomorrow's newspaper. I dare to guarantee that Ms. Feng Yihua will respond positively to this and will confirm the news soon."
Several reporters quickly wrote down the notebook at hand, and then a male reporter asked again, "President Shi mentioned just now that two very low-key companies have also participated in your project. Which two companies are there?"
I nodded and tried to maintain a little mystery, "They are not participating in this project, they just gave us the greatest guarantee of Tongda in terms of funds and manpower. If, I mean, if there are any problems in the operation or funding of Eleven Plus9 Game Entertainment Company, they can use their family's strongest funds and industries as our Tongda's most powerful support and support. We hope to make all players build the strongest confidence in the "Gate of Fallen" to the greatest extent."
"Which two are they?"
"The Wu family and the Zhao family!"
This simple sentence undoubtedly seemed to have a bomb among the reporters, making them dizzy and difficult for them to react for a while. Although I only mentioned two surnames, but did not say that they were two of the four major families in China, it is obvious that judging from the Feng family in Hong Kong that I had previously thrown out, the Zhao family and Wu family I mentioned this time would definitely not be two families with insufficient weight. In addition, I had previously stated that these are two very low-key families, so how could those reporters not understand?
"You mean..." Several reporters asked the same question together.
I nodded slowly, "Everyone knows that these two families have always been low-key, so please show mercy to your journalists and friends. Don't explain which two families it is. It's enough to say that there are two very powerful families that will support us unconditionally."
"Then how do we know if what Mr. Shi said is true?" A reporter asked carefully. After all, this is not a joke, and it is not easy to make a bucket.
I smiled and touched my chin. "Do you think if I don't get the approval of these two families, I dare to brag about such a big awesomeness? We Tongda's capital flow is a little bigger? If it's a fake tyrant, do I still want to continue doing business in China?"
The reporters said this a little bit relieved. What I said was indeed the truth. I didn’t have that great strength to brag about such a great man. Even if I didn’t explicitly say which two families it was, it is natural that people with discerning eyes or those of these two families themselves could not be unclear about what I mean. Therefore, such things will never be used to joke around.
One of the reporters thought about it and nodded, "Well, Mr. Shi said it well, no one dared to brag about such a thing. If something really happens, he will be suppressed from all aspects in a blink of an eye. I just don't know when this news will be reported?"
"The newspaper tomorrow is enough. Tomorrow we Tongda should have officially signed a contract with Feng from Hong Kong. In the afternoon, I discussed some details with Ms. Feng Yihua. There is no problem with Feng from Hong Kong. Normally, they will fly to Nanjing tomorrow." This is also the agreement I reached with Feng Yihua before. She is responsible for arriving at the company tomorrow morning and attending our shareholders' meeting, and then determine the final investment amount and share allocation amount.
"So fast?"
I smiled, "Haha. This kind of thing can't be delayed."
"Can I ask, when will Mr. Shi, your 'Decade' game start public beta?" The female reporter asked another very direct question just now.
I smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry that this question is not convenient for me. First, it involves the overall operation of the project. Second, we have a small plan to cooperate with the national measures taken by the supervision of the network. And because of the integration of new funds, we have to make a series of adjustments in the number of servers across the country. So, please allow me to hide this time issue first."
The female reporter nodded, "Well, that's OK, there is another question. What kind of measures do you plan to take to cooperate with the supervision of the national network? Or which aspect do you cooperate with? In addition, what is the way Feng's company cooperates with you? Venture capital or a complete investment?"
I smiled and stretched out my hand and waved it, "Haha. This beautiful lady, you have two questions!" Everyone laughed, and then I replied, "When it comes to cooperating with network supervision, it is about online time control, which is the anti-addiction that the country has repeatedly called for."
One sentence stunned the reporters again.
"In this case, aren't you afraid of players being dissatisfied? This will lead to a decline in your profits?"
I shook my head and said seriously, "This is nothing to do. Even if some players are dissatisfied with this and do not choose our game, I don't want to watch a game that will put the cart before the horse. After all, games are games, and everyone has many other things to do. We Tongda only hope to make a little meager contribution, making games just a game, a means of relaxation, not life itself. In addition, there is another point that the players of this game will adopt an ID card verification system, which has been strongly cooperated by the public security department. All game players must provide a legal ID number and conduct online verification before they can play the game. In other words, we will eliminate the entry of underage players to the maximum proportion..."
The reporters were stunned again, but soon, they applauded at the same time.
"Mr. Shi, you really don't worry that these measures will lead to a much smaller number of online players in your game than other games, thereby weakening your competitiveness?"
I smiled, "Haha, of course I am worried, which boss is not worried about this. But I still say the same thing. Maybe after these policies are introduced, someone will say that we are sensational, and maybe this will affect our company's performance. However, it must be done, even if we don't do it now, we will do it in the future. Moreover, I don't want to be accused of being accustomed to many underage players, which will lead to dissatisfaction among many students and parents. This is a slight reward for my personal return to society!"
Several reporters were obviously moved by my words, and they all recorded these in their notebooks very seriously.
After pausing, I continued. "Now I answer the second question of the beautiful reporter just now..." As I said that, I looked at the female reporter, and she blushed a little and lowered her head. "The cooperation between Feng's company and us is to adopt a stake. And it is not for the investment of such a game, but for the investment of the subsidiary of Tongda Group, Eleven Plus Nine. In other words, our cooperation with Feng's company in Hong Kong will be a long-term nature, rather than a venture capital investment method that can make profits and runs."
"It seems that Mrs. Feng is very confident in you Tongda?"
When I heard a reporter's words, I smiled proudly. "Haha, I think not only is Feng's confidence in our Tongda, but there are many other people. And I believe that more and more people will have great confidence in our company in the future."
Basically, even if the conversation is over, there are not many questions left to ask. After chatting casually for a few words, it basically ended.
Before the reporters left, Pei Yingying sent each reporter a red envelope as I told me, containing two thousand yuan and an account with the "Fallen Gate" with a top-quality equipment. Usually, most of the red envelopes given to the reporters at the press conference were 6800, and my move this time was quite generous.
After reminding reporters not to reveal the names of the Zhao family and the Wu family, Pei Yingying and I sent several reporters away.
After I came back, I leaned on the chair, put my hands behind my head, and asked Pei Yingying comfortably, "Now I know why I am so confident, right?"
Pei Yingying smiled while packing up the leftover cups that the reporters drank, "Haha, I didn't expect that I thought it was just the Zhao family and the Wu family, and you actually pulled Feng in. Master Bai is really going to have a headache now. After the operators of those servers learned the news, I guess the server resources will no longer be tight, right?"
"Haha, they are simply receiving pressure from the Bai family. When have they been really nervous? Now we have such a lot of pressure on them, so I want to see what they should do. But to be honest, it is quite embarrassing them to do this. Offending us is offending, or offending the Bai family or offending them."
Pei Yingying smiled disapprovingly and said, "The two evils are the least, and Young Master Bai cannot bring them any profits. We rent their servers to give them money to spend. As a correct business decision, we should also rent the servers to us, right?"
I nodded, "That's what it means. When one of the two sides of the fight cannot afford to offend, they will endure the loss of part of the profit, and they do not want to offend the more powerful side. But when the two sides are evenly matched, they have to offend one no matter what they choose. Of course, they are choosing the profitable side, and offending the other side that cannot bring them profits."
"You are so sure that you were mysterious yesterday. I told me and Qingshan directly. Isn't it over? It won't be a waste of us to worry for so long." Pei Yingying was obviously a little dissatisfied with this.
I smiled, "It's not that I want to pretend to be mysterious, but to be honest, my attitude towards Feng Yihua was not particularly clear. She did propose cooperation with me before, but at that time, there was no obstacle. However, if we continue to cooperate with us at this time, we would risk offending the Bai family. Although the Feng Group is a large group, there is still a gap compared to the Bai family. I am not sure whether Feng Yihua will risk offending Mr. Bai. The main reason is that even without the Feng family joining, we may not lose all this matter. But when Feng family joins, we are more confident!"
Pei Yingying nodded seriously, "Wang won't change his mind tomorrow, will he?"
I smiled and shook my head, and said with ease, "No, Feng Yihua has already discussed with her brother in Hong Kong, and only after getting her brother's consent was decided to sign a contract with me tomorrow. Her brother should fly directly to Nanjing tomorrow!"
"Ah? The president of Feng's Group came in person?" Pei Yingying was a little surprised.
I shook my head, "It's not the president. At present, Feng's president is still Feng Yihua's father. Her eldest brother is just the power of the general manager and driving president, and he is still under the supervision of his father."
Pei Yingying curled her lips, "Haha, that's almost the same."
"It's almost the same, but this is still very taboo. One name varies greatly." After saying that, I waved my hand again, "I don't care anyway, you and Qingshan are probably busy again. When you get the formal shareholding contract signed with Feng tomorrow, you will be a pilot and fly around to sign a contract."
Pei Yingying smiled, "You are not the same? Do you think you can be easier than us? By the way, boss, will we be higher at the end of the year-end bonus at the end of the year?"
Chapter completed!
