Eric was very proud. He could feel that under his leadership, ioi was walking on the right path, and the gap with GOG showed signs of narrowing for the first time.

He looked at Zhao Xuming: "Mr. Zhao, in the next two days, Zhitou Company will officially release some news about the ioi mobile game version. The mission of Longyu Group is to cooperate with Zhitou Company to make this news spread better."

"Of course there is another very important thing. After the ioi mobile game version is launched, Longyu Group will be responsible for contacting channels and promoting the mobile game."

Zhao Xuming nodded quickly: "No problem, this is my responsibility."

Obviously, the mobile game version of ioi has always been in Eric's plan. After he took over the operation of ioi's national server and became the "vanguard general" who directly fought against Tenda Group, he had already begun preparations on both sides.

On the one hand, they updated the version and started a money-burning war. On the other hand, they urged Zhidou Company to arrange specialized personnel to develop the mobile game version of ioi.

Of course, converting a PC game into a mobile game is not a simple task that can be completed overnight.

Tenda Group was able to quickly change GOG into a mobile game because the design of GOG itself contained some mobile game elements. The game time was short, the map was smaller than ioi, and the game mechanism was simpler, so the design was changed.

There will be fewer obstacles when getting up.

And if ioi wants to change the client game into a mobile game, it is definitely not a simple project.

But even so, you can still release the news first to warm up the situation.

First use the resources in ioi to make a simple DEMO, select a few heroes that are more suitable for the mobile game operation mode, and then use this DEMO to make a few trial videos; then, post these videos online to gain popularity.

, just let the ioi players know that this is happening.

As long as everyone can create a feeling that "ioi is catching up and competing with GOG", it will be of great help to the promotion of ioi.

Zhao Xuming also supports this matter with both hands. After all, in his opinion, the arrival of the mobile game trend is inevitable. ioi can learn from GOG and make games interoperable with both ends. This is indeed a move to follow the trend.

Moreover, Longyu Group has very close ties with domestic mobile game channel vendors, and even controls some mobile game channels itself. It may be more convenient to promote mobile games than to promote client games.

After ioi's mobile game is launched, old players of PC games will definitely play it. Many players who are tired of playing GOG mobile games will also try the water to see if they can come up with some good marketing plans.

…

It will definitely work!

Eric and Zhao Xuming are both confident in ioi's next operating strategy.

Although GOG's current position in the country is very stable and difficult to shake, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you persevere and the ioi national server can gradually regain its vitality, a positive cycle can be formed quickly, and everything will turn around by then!

…

Friday, February 17th.

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly came to Tenda Game Department and found Min Jingchao who was busy making a new version of GOG.

"Zhizou Company has a new move!"

"Just now, they released a few trial videos of ioi mobile games, and the quality seems to be very good."

"But I suspect... they made it using ioi's ready-made client game materials. It's still early for the game to be officially developed, and it's now in the stage of 'demo deceiving'."

"But ioi mobile game development has obviously been put on the agenda, and it is still necessary to guard against it."

"At present, these videos have received good responses on domestic and foreign video websites, and many players have expressed great expectations."

"There are still people who have been comparing it with GOG's mobile games to create popularity. Most of them are the trolls arranged by Longyu Group."

Ye Zhizhou said, handed the phone to Min Jingchao, and showed him several game videos of the ioi mobile version.

The video is a trial video of several Ioi classic heroes, such as Chaos Doom, Storm Swordsman, Ghost Blacksmith, etc., which shined in this global finals, as well as some cruel heroes that are commonly used by novices.

These heroes all have a common feature, that is, the operation is not particularly complicated. When transplanted from the PC game to the mobile game, the operation difficulty is not too high, and the transplantation is relatively easy.

Moreover, these heroes have their own popularity, and heroes like Storm Swordsman are also relatively handsome, so the video gives players a good impression.

Although I haven’t played the game yet, just watching this video is indeed very attractive.

"The person who came here is not a good person."

Min Jingchao immediately saw the intention of Zhidou Company's move.

The current situation can be said to be a "different situation between offense and defense". In the past, GOG took the initiative to attack, while ioi was forced to defend and was beaten to pieces.

But now the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides is completely reversed.

GOG mobile game version is the pioneer, and now it has gathered a huge group of players. Because of the size problem, it is no longer suitable to make too many risky moves, and it is a passive defensive posture.

The ioi mobile game version is a new game and has many advantages: it can directly refer to GOG's ready-made gameplay and avoid detours; it can directly bundle and promote itself with the GOG mobile game version, and easily gain huge popularity.

This "rubbing" tactic can often produce very good results, but the party being rubbed doesn't have a good way to do it. The more aggressive the response, the more heat the other party will gain.

If you choose to treat it coldly, the other party will be more unscrupulous and still gain a lot of popularity.

Ye Zhizhou asked: "What should I do?"

Min Jingchao thought for a moment: "How about... I'd better ask Mr. Pei for instructions."

Although the two of them can come up with some countermeasures, this matter is of great importance after all. If it is not handled well, the consequences will be very serious, and neither of them dare to make a decision.

GOG is currently the Tenda Group's game with the largest number of players, the widest influence, and the highest popularity. It also involves the GPL, a cash cow, and neither of them dare to neglect it.

After a little discussion, the two of them felt that they had to ask Mr. Pei for advice on such a significant matter so that they could feel at ease.

After sending a message to the front desk and asking about it, they learned that Mr. Pei happened to come to the company today. The two of them went to the 16th floor and knocked gently on the door of Mr. Pei's office.

"Enter."

President Pei's voice immediately came from the office.

Min Jingchao pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Ye Zhizhou.

"Mr. Pei, we are here today to report on the developments at Zhidou Company..."

Min Jingchao gave a brief account of the ioi mobile game trial video released by Zhitou Company and Longyu Group’s large-scale online troll purchases to ride on the popularity of GOG.

Pei Qian almost slapped the table and cheered.

Well done Eric!

It certainly lived up to my expectations!

From the previous price war to the current ioi mobile game version and the popularity of online shopping, every step Eric took made Pei Qian very satisfied.

The more Zhitou Company presses harder, the more reason Pei Qian has to spend money to fight.

Just how to deal with it specifically...

Pei Qian thought briefly.

His first reaction was to fight back fiercely. They want popularity, so give them popularity. Tenda can also spend a lot of money on the side, so why not?

But then I thought about it, it seemed a bit dangerous.

At present, GOG and ioi are not at the same level in China. If they fight back fiercely, ioi will indeed gain a lot of popularity, but GOG will also gain a lot of popularity.

What if the two parties are "passionately competing" and taking advantage of each other's popularity, resulting in GOG becoming more popular and the players' cohesion and sense of identity becoming stronger?

Something seems wrong.

What if you don't care at all?

It doesn’t seem to be very good. Although it will not bring heat to GOG, the heat of ioi will accumulate very slowly. It will have to wait until the end of the monkey year to pose a real threat to GOG. Far water cannot quench the thirst of near people.

After brief consideration, Pei Qian decided to implement the previous policy.

"You continue to pay attention to the trends on ioi. No matter what strategy they adopt, we will follow it, but we must be 'courteous' to them in everything."

"For example, if they spend 10 million on publicity, we will spend 7 million; if they reduce the price of the skin by 10%, we will also reduce the price by 7%."

"The same goes for public opinion wars. If they provoke and want to gain our popularity, then we will fight back. But when we fight back, we must also leave three points of leeway."

Min Jingchao was stunned for a moment: "Uh... do you have any other requests, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "No more."

Min Jingchao and Ye Zhizhou looked at each other, and both saw some doubts in each other's eyes.

that's all?

I thought that Mr. Pei was going to start "killing everyone" immediately, but Mr. Pei actually said that he wanted to "give three points of courtesy"?

When I asked Mr. Pei for advice before, Mr. Pei always seemed to be able to give some very subversive and creative suggestions. But this time, the suggestions given by Mr. Pei seemed to be quite satisfactory and nothing special.

"Courtesy three points" sounds nice, but in fact it is nothing more than passive defense, and Mr. Pei also specifically emphasized that in a price war, you must spend less money than the opponent?

What's the point?

But looking at Mr. Pei's face, it was obvious that he had already said everything he needed to say, leaving only an expression of "you guys have to figure it out for yourself".

So the two of them had to quit.

After leaving Mr. Pei's office, Min Jingchao and Ye Zhizhou's expressions were full of doubts. Obviously, this consultation with Mr. Pei failed to achieve the results they wanted.

How to deal with the threat of ioi, there is still no particularly reliable countermeasure.

In other words, Mr. Pei gave a reliable countermeasure, but they have not yet understood the meaning of this countermeasure.

The two of them returned to the 17th floor, sat down in the lounge, and stared at each other while drinking drinks.

Both men saw the same attitude in each other's eyes.

"Do you believe that what Mr. Pei wants is that simple?"
