Ye Zhizhou replied, "Five percent of the net profit from all skins of that hero, as well as the corresponding hero title, President Pei."

Pei Qian was silent.

He didn't care about the other rewards at all, but 5% of the net profit from the skins...

Anyone could tell that this wouldn't be a small amount of money!

The most important thing was that this reward was lifelong and permanent. As long as GoG was still operating, the skin revenue share would be continuously distributed.

For other people, they might still inevitably doubt the game's lifespan.

After all, judging from the current state of the industry, there were too few games that could continue to operate for ten years and still maintain their vitality; they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Because the game industry was inherently volatile, a successful game had to face competitors that were not only similar competing games, but also other game types.

Just like how people once thought that MMORPGs were the ultimate form of online games, but the sudden emergence of MOBA games completely shattered people's inherent impressions.

For people today, how could they be sure that MOBA games would establish long-term dominance like MMORPGs, rather than disappearing quickly like some games that were popular for a while?

But Pei Qian was very clear that GoG would continue to operate for a long time!

If GoG was lucky enough to lose in the competition with IoI and no one played it anymore, then that meant it would enter a long period of losses. Pei Qian would be overjoyed and would of course let it continue to operate, constantly burning money.

As long as it was a game project with a profit point, the system wouldn't stop it.

And if GoG was unfortunate enough to win in the competition with IoI, then as a profitable project, Pei Qian would have no appropriate reason to stop operating it, and it would continue to operate.

In other words, this 5% revenue share would most likely continue for the rest of his life.

Pei Qian was tempted.

Previously, in order to reduce the game's revenue, Pei Qian had set the prices of GoG's skins very low, and Min Jingchao had further discounted the skins in order to mobilize player enthusiasm.

But no matter how much this income was reduced, it was all in relation to game companies with strong revenue-generating capabilities.

For Pei Qian personally, it would definitely be a lot!

Various popular and successful heroes involuntarily emerged in Pei Qian's mind, such as Trollso, Childish Robber, Magical Blind, and so on.

If he moved all of them over, wouldn't he ascend to heaven on the spot?

But soon, Pei Qian considered other issues.

"Wait a minute, stay calm, don't let a mere 5% number cloud your mind..."

"If I really move all these heroes over in one go, is it possible that IoI will be completely crushed to death?"

"The production cycle of heroes is very long. At most, two heroes can be produced in a month, and it will only get slower and slower in the later stages."

"After the number of heroes reaches a certain point, every time a new hero is released, its mechanics will have to be related to all the other heroes, and the balance will become more and more difficult to achieve, which will also greatly slow down the rhythm of hero production in the later stages."

"In other words, the number of people who can get this reward is limited."

"If I frantically transport heroes and monopolize all the revenue from this reward, what about the other players?"

"This was originally an activity to encourage player participation and reward players at the same time. If I take all the benefits, it doesn't seem very appropriate."

Pei Qian considered that if he really started transporting heroes, based on his memory, not to mention transporting all the heroes, transporting seventy or eighty would be no problem.

In that case, this event would have nothing to do with other players at all.

Doing so seemed a bit too much.

"Moreover, IoI's situation is already very dangerous. What if I make a move and IoI is directly defeated?"

"Although 5% of the skin revenue is very tempting, if I really turn GoG into a cash cow, I probably won't be able to think about losing money in the future, and I can only eat that one-thousandth conversion rate for the rest of my life."

"What if the system adjusts the conversion rate according to the Matthew effect? Although the possibility is not high, it must also be taken into account..."

"Well, I still have to consider the long-term goal a little bit."

Pei Qian comprehensively considered that if he became a porter and frantically transported classic heroes, there were at least three concerns:

First of all, in the foreseeable future, the number of heroes is fixed, and the speed of hero production is fixed, so the rewards are naturally relatively fixed. Pei Qian is equal to robbing players of benefits, and he feels bad about it.

After all, President Pei has so many industries and can obtain income through spending money and losing money, but most players can't.

President Pei is embarrassed to take this benefit.

Secondly, if the transportation is too excessive, GoG is very likely to become uncontrollably popular and become an extremely money-sucking game, which is equivalent to almost no possibility of losing money in the future.

Now Pei Qian has a choice, and losing money is obviously more profitable, but whether it is earning or losing, he can choose to a certain extent.

And if GoG is too popular, it may leave Pei Qian with no choice but to earn, completely losing a possibility from a long-term perspective, which is very uneconomical.

Finally, what about Lin Wan if IoI is defeated...

This time, Lin Wan is responsible for operating the national server of IoI. If she fails after going all out, she will definitely think that her level is still far from enough and must stay in Tengda to continue learning, resolutely not going back.

At that time, who knows what terrible things her sister, brother, and the old man can do to "fully support her career"...

So Pei Qian considered it and felt that he couldn't be tempted by the GoG project team's bait to attract players. He had to remain calm, comprehensively consider the long-term, and make a decision after careful consideration.

Consider it for a week before making a decision.

Even if he wants to move, he can't shamelessly rob all the players' benefits. Moving one or two to supplement his income is enough.

"I'll only move one, just one, it shouldn't have too much impact on the overall situation, right?"

...

...

April 28th, Thursday.

Café near Handong University.

He An's first lecture to "Ma Yang" officially began.

Pei Qian glanced at the time. It was now 1:00 PM. The lecture, plus the time for breaks and chats, would last until 5:00 PM, for a total of four hours.

After all, a class cost 200,000 yuan, and He An probably felt that it shouldn't be too short.

He An held two printed materials in his hand and handed one to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian took it and flipped through it slightly. He found that President He had actually carefully prepared the lesson and organized all the things he wanted to talk about into materials and printed them out.

It could be seen that a big shot is a big shot. Once he decides to give a lecture, he prepares seriously and will never have the idea of "fooling around and taking the money and leaving."

Pei Qian was of course happy.

Because the system would ultimately determine whether he had "learned something" based on Pei Qian's improvement in learning. Only by achieving the goal could he obtain a reward.

The more seriously He An taught, the higher the possibility that Pei Qian would pass the system's inspection in the end.

However, Pei Qian's expression gradually solidified less than two minutes after he became happy.

Because he saw the title of this textbook.

"Explanation of Successful Cases, Lesson 1: Tengda Games' Marketing之道!" (Marketing Dao/Way)

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it, the bad feeling from before came true!

Last week, He An gave Pei Qian several test questions, all related to Tengda's games.

At that time, Pei Qian didn't pay too much attention to it, and wishfully thought that the test questions must be different from the official textbooks.

After all, He An has so many successful projects. Even if he were to lecture, he would lecture about his own successful project experiences, right?

But what the hell is this textbook title!

Specially lecturing about Tengda games?

I spent 200,000 yuan for a class just to learn my own Marketing之道?

What's more, I don't have any Marketing之道at all!

Pei Qian was a little embarrassed: "Teacher He, are we just learning this?"

"Huh?" He An seemed to not have expected "Ma Yang" to ask this question. "Is there any problem with learning this?"

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice: "Teacher He, do you have any failed projects that you can share the experience of failure? As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success, I want to learn the knowledge of the mother."

He An chuckled: "President Ma, you have a typical layman's mindset."

Pei Qian: "..."

He An explained: "I have indeed taken some detours, but the so-called 'failure is the mother of success' means that you find the right path after trial and error. If the correct path is right in front of you, why bother to deliberately take a detour again?"

"You're putting the cart before the horse. You think that many people's success is because they learned from their failures, but in fact, it's just because they found the right path."

"President Ma, don't deliberately try to understand those 'lessons'."

"Because if you don't know the failed cases, you won't think about that side; and after knowing too many failed cases, they will instead interfere with your thinking and shake your determination."

Pei Qian: "..."

Interfere with thinking, shake awakening?

The more you say that, the more I want to learn...

Pei Qian was still not giving up: "President He, is it necessary to learn Tengda's case?"

He An smiled slightly: "Of course, you have to learn the latest and most cutting-edge design concepts. There is no reason to learn outdated concepts. What's more, you are originally an employee of Tengda. Learning Tengda's design concepts should be easier for you to understand and master."

Pei Qian: "But..."

He An's face darkened: "President Ma, don't be too ambitious! Since you asked me to give a lecture, then you must seriously learn what I am talking about, otherwise please find someone else!"

Pei Qian had nothing to say.

It seemed that this He An was determined to talk about Tengda's content.

But on second thought, it was right. People took so much effort to organize the textbook for the first lesson, but he was unwilling to learn it, wouldn't they get angry?

Forget it, give the old senior some face, and maybe there is some knowledge in it that can be used.

Besides, this is just the first lesson, there should be other content later... right?
