Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Friday, March 29.

Pei Qian came to the Chaolu game platform early in the morning and called Tang Yishu and Li Yada to the conference room for a meeting.

Both Li Yada and Tang Yishu were a little surprised, isn't President Pei in retreat?

I came here on purpose during the retreat. Could it be that something went wrong with our work?

Just as Li Yada wanted to ask, he was stopped by Pei Qian.

"I'm here this time just to tell you about the work arrangements after the Chaolu game platform."

In fact, Li Yada was right. Pei Qian is indeed dissatisfied with the current state of Chaolu game platform, but what can be done with dissatisfaction? This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

So Pei Qian didn't struggle too much on this point. He just wanted to cut the mess quickly, arrange these things as soon as possible, and then continue to go back to retreat.

The paper is not finished yet!

Li Yada nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, you say."

After thinking about it, Pei Qian said, "There are three main points."

"First, take all Tenda games and put them on the Chaolu game platform."

"Second, the division between the Chaolu game platform and the developers is further adjusted, and the platform only draws 10%. At the same time, we will increase the discounts for all games on the platform, and choose the best free games as much as possible, especially our own games."

"Third, the Chaolu Game Platform will take the lead, let Tenda Games, Wangyang Games and all other departments work together, and then win the support of the official platform to develop a "Chaolu Game Editor"."

Pei Qian's attitude is also very simple, spend money, spend money at all costs!

Tenda Games was put on the Chaolu game platform. This is because it can't hide it, so it won't be installed.

After it's on the shelf, you can get more price cuts and discounts from the system.

Because before the main battlefield of Tenda game sales is basically the official game platform, and the discount promotion activities of the official game platform, Tenda has no right to say here.

Even if Pei Qian wanted to lower the price, he had to ask the official platform to agree or not. It was a process.

Moreover, applying for price reduction activities on the official platform requires not only the consent of the official platform, but also the consent of the system.

It is different on the Chaolu game platform. Selling the game at a low price, from the system's perspective, is a promotion of the Chaolu game platform through preferential activities. It can be regarded as an act of burning money to earn word of mouth and market, so the restrictions will be looser.

Therefore, Tenda games can be sold at a fairly low price on the Chaolu game platform. In this way, although the effect of small profits but quick turnover may be achieved, the income will definitely fall a lot in the short term.

The platform reduces the rake, increases the discounts of the game, and sends as many free games as possible with excellent quality. These are all ways to burn money.

At present, these domestic channel merchants are basically random, with more than 70% of them.

Of course, these are basically small channel vendors, and high rake rates also bully those small mobile game development companies. Even for those large channels with strong bargaining power, when there is an official platform for benchmarking, they basically draw 50% or 30%.

The official platform defaults to 50% for general gamers, and rewards for excellent gamers will be changed to 30% or even lower.

There is a fundamental difference between the official platform's commission and the general channel commission. The general channel commission is actually not of much construction significance, but after the official platform commission, it has practical significance.

For example: use the money to continue to develop and improve the official editor, use the money as a fund to support domestic game manufacturers, and so on.

But in general, the current domestic channel dealers are basically not lower than 30%.

Does it mean that it takes 30% to keep the platform running? Of course not. It's simply because everyone tacitly and tacitly delineated the 30% line to ensure that everyone can have a more comfortable profit margin and can make money by lying on the platform.

Speaking of which, 30% of the rake is lower than that of the official platform.

But the official platform will do things if it takes the money, and these other channels will not give the money back to the game industry.

And Pei Qian's last request was to open a bottomless pit to spend money.

Be Tenda's own game editor!

At present, the mainstream editor for domestic game development is the official game editor, and there are other editors, but they are relatively niche and unpopular.

The official editor is based on the integration of some editors and is finally developed after many people's improvement. It is already the best game editor currently used. For some independent game producers, the learning cost is not counted. High, as long as you can study steadily, this editor is enough to meet most of the needs of game development.

But because of this, Pei Qian decided to integrate resources and develop a new editor!

As soon as this bottomless pit is opened, isn't it simple to want to lose money?

The key is that there is an official editor on the front, and the chance of Chaolu game editor becoming a big hit and making a big profit is very small and almost negligible.

Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Huh? President Pei, this...Is this step a bit too big?"

"The previous two points are understandable. Our platform is about to expand, but the game editor... can't be done overnight!"

"What's more, the editor of the official platform is actually very useful. We can develop some new functional modules on the basis of the official platform editor, optimize and improve it. There is no need to build it from scratch. An editor, right?"

Pei Qian chuckled, he was prepared.

"It is precisely because the game editor cannot be completed overnight, so we have to start this work as soon as possible!"

"Is the editor on the official platform really easy to use? Or is it just because everyone has adapted to it that it feels easy to use?"

Speaking of this, Pei Qian couldn't help but secretly slander, the official platform editor is easy to use a hammer!

When he first developed "Lonely Desert Road", he tried to teach himself the official editor, and finally learned loneliness.

You will be able to see it, and you will give up when you learn!

In the end, he had no choice but to set a ready-made template directly into it, and then used some of the content he barely mastered to make a few simple functions.

Of course, this game was still popular in the end, that's something to say...

But in any case, Pei Qian felt that he said that the official platform editor was not easy to use, and it was not wronged.

Pei Qian paused, and continued: "On the basis of the original official editor, a lot of people are doing this. But if you can’t continue to fix it, sooner or later it will look like old code. Become a **** mountain."

"The more you are reluctant to abandon the original editor and write a new one, the higher the sunk cost will be, so it's better to get started as soon as possible!"

"You can't stop doing something because it is difficult and cost-effective. If everyone thinks so, how can there be an epoch-making game editor?"

"What's more, it's not about letting you reach the sky in one step, you can take your time."

"In the beginning, we will do some basic functions. The first version is mainly for independent game producers, and the subsequent versions will continue to improve."

Pei Qian's speech completely convinced Li Yada.

Well, President Pei is President Pei, and it makes sense!

Conventional thinking is really not necessary. To work at Tenda, if you want to keep up with Mr. Pei's thinking, you must have a forward-looking vision, a broad field of vision, and the strongest action and execution ability!

This editor is really difficult to develop.

The official platform has concentrated so much resources and manpower, and it took so much effort to develop it, let alone the Chaolu game platform itself?

Of course, President Pei also said that Li Yada can use Tenda's resources, including the internal game department, independent game incubation base, Dream Venture Capital, and the help of some external companies and even the official platform. They can all be integrated.

These resources are definitely enough. The key is how to coordinate, and what exactly the editor should look like.

The direction of this kind of super large project can be said to be very ridiculous, and it is difficult enough to integrate resources so that all participants can do their jobs well.

Very challenging, but Li Yada felt that since Mr. Pei gave this important task to himself, he must not let Mr. Pei's expectations be let down!

In any case, I am also the third generation of Tengda. Huang Sibo and Lu Mingliang have already set up their legs. I can't always guard the Chaolu game platform. It is time to make some vigorous achievements!

Pei Qian nodded very satisfied, and then took a look at Xiao Tang by the way, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Let Xiao Tang stay and take charge of the development of the Chaolu game editor!

Although it is a little bit cruel to do this, but for the settlement of this cycle, it can only be a little hard work, comrades!

"Okay, then do it, I'll go first."

Pei Qian stood up, contentedly preparing to go back to rest.

As a result, the phone shook as soon as he turned around and walked out.

Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his brows frowned slightly: "Huh? On the Outu Technology side, do you want to report on mobile phones and new smart products?"

Originally, I didn't want to go.

Because Pei Qian hasn't had any particularly good ideas for Outu Technology recently.

If Pei Qian has an idea similar to "Automatic Intelligent Bar Lifting Machine" or "Intelligent Fitness Drying Rack", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com must be the first time to go to Outu Technology and follow Changyou Jiang Yuan called to the meeting room and arranged for a meal.

Although the bar lifter and the drying rack are still making money in the end, at least they are only one step away from losing money, which is very close.

I don’t have a good idea, what's the use if I go?

The ideas that Pei Qian thought of were either the chances of making money a bit too much, or they were too outrageous, it was hard not to be doubted, so they never paid special attention to Outu Technology.

But Pei Qian thought for a while and still had to go.

Since Outu Technology has said that there are things to report on mobile phones and new smart products, it must be a more important thing, otherwise you will not bother yourself.

If you don't go to see it, what if it explodes?

Go and see, maybe there is still room to save.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian left for Outu Technology.
