Chapter 776 Going to the Imperial Capital for Inspection(2/4)
Why is Mr. Pei so nice to the fv club?
Except for excluding the option that Mr. Pei is actually Mr. Wu's long-lost biological father, it actually makes no sense.
Wu Yue said: "I made a rough inference based on Mr. Pei's tone and recent events. Please listen to see if this is a possibility."
"The first thing Mr. Pei asked me when he came up was if I still had enough money. It must be because he knew about our purchase of team members."
"In this case, Mr. Pei definitely wants us to spend the money elsewhere."
"The current hard strength of our team is already very good in the ioi e-sports circle. The specific results we can achieve depend on the team's running-in status, but there is absolutely no problem in competing with those strong teams.
of."
"Now that we already have a certain level of strength, what our club currently lacks most is obviously popularity and popularity!"
"Mr. Pei specially gave a marketing fund, which is actually a reminder to us that it is almost time to stir up the popularity. Now is the right time."
Manager Lu was stunned for a moment: "But Mr. Wu, the ioi qualifying round hasn't started yet, and we are not sure we will qualify. Now there is a lot of hype. If the heat picks up, but we don't win the game, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
Other clubs?”
Wu Yue shook his head: "There is such a risk, but this risk must be taken."
"If we are sure to qualify and then promote it, what's the point? The game is almost over and the heat has passed!"
"We need to publicize and warm up in advance before the game starts, so as to attract netizens' attention to the game and our club. Only in this way can we gain more popularity after our players perform well."
"As for the possibility of making wedding clothes for others... I can only say that this kind of risk must be taken."
"Mr. Pei should be very aware of this, so he repeatedly told us to spend all the money within a week. Isn't this a reminder to us that we must build up the excitement before the game starts?"
Manager Lu suddenly realized: "That's right."
"Then I'll get ready and start building momentum for the fv club and ioi qualifying tournament!"
…
After calling Wu Yue, Pei Qian put the e-sports matter aside for the time being and stopped worrying about it.
Although he spent 3 million to help promote ioi, Pei Qian didn't have high expectations for the ioi qualifying tournament. It would be best to help ioi counterattack if it can generate heat, but it doesn't matter if it can't generate heat.
The worst-case scenario is that the ioi qualifying competition is still not popular, but at least for Pei Qian, three million has been spent.
Pei Qian began to think about things in the imperial capital again.
Currently, there are two projects in Imperial Capital that Pei Qian is more concerned about. The first is the independent game incubation base that Qiu Hongzai is responsible for, and the second is Meng Chang's cold-faced girl.
The independent game incubation base has been officially in operation for less than half a month now. Pei Qian has never been there once and has a blank view of the situation there.
I don't know why, but I feel a little unsure.
What if there are some hits in these independent games? What if the revenue from two or three games completely covers the losses of other games and the expenses of the incubation base, and even generates profits?
Pei Qian is very aware of his own character. This possibility is not impossible, and it is very high.
So, I'm a little worried.
But Pei Qian can't go there to see it in person, because neither the Qitu Project nor this incubation base is currently related to Tenda. If Pei Qian goes by himself, wouldn't he be exposed on his own initiative?
Once the "Qiu Tu Project" is linked to Tenda Group, and all kinds of independent game producers with ability, ideals, and ambitions come to join us one after another, the possibility of losing money from this plan will be greatly reduced.
Another project is the cold noodle girl.
Pei Qian has also invested a lot of money in this project. It is impossible to say that he is not worried at all.
For a project like this, if you lose money, it's okay, but if you make a profit, you'll make a lot of money. Pei Qian didn't go to see it in person, and he also felt a little uneasy.
Therefore, Pei Qian thought about it and decided to send someone to look at it for him.
Go to the Imperial Capital, first visit the game incubation base of the Qiu Tu Project, and then visit the cold-faced girl’s store, collect some information, and report back to yourself.
It may not be useful, but at least it can make you feel more at ease.
But the question is, who should be sent?
The most important thing for this person is to seek truth from facts, not to include too much subjectivity in judgment, and it is best not to be the person in charge of each department.
It's okay to delay the department's work, but it would be bad if the two projects were linked after reading it.
So after Pei Qian thought about it, he quickly decided on the best candidate.
Let Xiao Tang go!
Until now, Tang Yishu had no other job except supervising the meetings of the injured students and feeding the cats. She didn't worry about any linkage effects when she went to the imperial capital.
Moreover, Tang Yishu's presence within Tenda Group is very small. Even if she showed up at the independent game incubation base, no one would guess the relationship between the incubation base and Tenda.
In addition, Tang Yishu is observing as a third party. She does not have relevant professional knowledge and should be able to put aside some subjective factors as much as possible and see the real situation of the independent game incubation base and the cold-faced girl.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more appropriate he felt and called Tang Yishu.
"Hello? Senior." Tang Yishu on the other end of the phone lowered her voice, "I'm in the study room, wait a moment and I'll go outside."
After a while, Tang Yishu's voice returned to its normal tone: "Senior, I'm out, what's the matter?"
Pei Qian said straight to the point: "I want you to go to the Imperial Capital two days tomorrow and do something for me. Our company currently also has some business in the Imperial Capital. You can go and have a look, inspect and investigate, and report to me when you come back.
Just report it."
Tang Yishu's tone was full of astonishment and surprise: "Ah? Xue, senior, I'm not very good at it, I'm a little afraid of traveling far away..."
Pei Qian had already expected it: "It's okay. This time I will ask Xiao Sun, the best driver in the company, to drive the car to and from the car. I will find another driver to accompany me. Before setting off, I will carefully check the car from beginning to end to ensure that everything is absolutely flawless along the way."
"When Qiu Hong greets me over there, you don't have to worry about anything. Just inspect it for me and report the problems you see truthfully."
Pei Qian knew very well that Tang Yishu's luck was rather evil, but her bad luck basically appeared in small things, such as accidentally tripping when going out, hidden bugs in the program, etc.
Tang Yishu has never encountered major dangers that threaten her life and health. She is not a native of Jingzhou. She came all the way to study and has never heard of accidents such as train derailments, so she doesn't need to worry too much about this.
Let Xiao Sun drive to pick you up, and there will be no problem as long as you act carefully.
Tang Yishu was still a little reluctant: "But senior, it's almost exam week, and I still have to review..."
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It's okay, there are only two days. With your results, the impact of not reviewing for two days will be minimal, and it will not delay you from getting the national scholarship."
Every time he talks about this, Pei Qian is particularly envious of these super academics.
Why did Tang Yishu get high marks every time and when she got here, she had to struggle to pass?
This world is so unfair!
Tang Yishu hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed: "Then I'll take a trip, but I don't understand anything, and I may not see any problems..."
Pei Qian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Only when you look at things like you who don't understand anything can you see some details. You don't need to study deliberately, and you don't need to care about what others say. You just observe based on your first impression, and then
Just tell me what you observed."
"By the way, over at the incubation base, pay attention to whether there is any overtime work. Overtime work is absolutely not allowed."
"If they don't work overtime, check their working status. If their working status is good, force them to play games, and they must play ten hours a week!"
Pei Qian has learned to be smart now. He found that just limiting working hours can no longer control these people. Although the working hours of many departments are short, the work efficiency is very high and the progress has not dropped at all!
Therefore, in addition to working hours, you must also pay attention to the working status of independent game producers in the incubation base. If the status is extreme, you must take some measures.
Tang Yishu: "Okay, senior."
…
…
Thursday, December 8th.
At the headquarters of Longyu Group, Zhao Xuming, the head of the ioi Operations Cooperation Department, Chretien, the head of the ioi national server, and related staff are having a meeting.
Chretien introduced everyone to the work trends at the Finger Company headquarters.
"Currently, the headquarters is making full preparations for the ioi World Finals. This finals will be held in Los Angeles. The venue is still being prepared and should be completed by the end of this month."
"Qualifying tournaments around the world should be held soon to determine the places to participate in the World Championship. The World Championship is tentatively scheduled for the 24th of this month, Saturday, which is Christmas Eve, and will officially start on January 15th.
Finish."
"This competition basically does not overlap with the GPL competition. This is also my suggestion to the headquarters."
"Although from any aspect, the popularity of our global finals will not be lower than that of the GPL league, but considering the special circumstances of the national server, we really do not need to go head-to-head. Staggering the time can ensure that the popularity of the finals is maximized.
"
"In addition, the in-depth innovation of ioi gameplay is still in progress. The next goal of the headquarters is to further absorb the advantages of gog's gameplay. I defy all opinions and request that the modified version be used in the finals to compete.
Players around the world, especially Chinese players, show our determination."
"Mr. Zhao, how is the situation at Longyu Group?"
Zhao Xuming took over the conversation: "Everything is going well at Longyu Group and the progress is perfect!"
"Due to the low-price zone and game changes some time ago, domestic players did accumulate a lot of resentment, but our procrastination tactics have begun to bear fruit."
"The targeted compensation for old players has temporarily calmed their anger. As for the new version, although there are certain changes in the gameplay, many old players are not so resistant after adapting to it for a period of time."
"I believe that as time goes by, they will slowly accept it."
"Of course, we cannot be blindly optimistic about the current situation. There are still some old players who have become less active. But this is not a big deal. As long as the global finals are held and the popularity of ioi is high, these old players will definitely come back.
