Qing Shan Qu Zui

Chapter 1172 Cat Herder, Attack! (Bonus chapter for the handsome Tu Tu)

The game platform issue must be handled with caution, because once it goes wrong, it'll be another huge profit.

In order to get a high commission, Meng Chang will definitely rack his brains to make the game platform lose money, so his opinion is still very valuable.

After considering it, Meng Chang said, "First of all, this platform must be as far away from Tengda as possible."

Pei Qian's eyes lit up.

Well said, Meng Chang!

This is so right!

Pei Qian also found that many projects became popular so quickly mainly because they were related to Tengda, and users and customers naturally had a good impression.

The same is true for game platforms.

If players know that Tengda has created a game platform, wouldn't they rush to register immediately?

If other game developers know that Tengda has created a game platform, wouldn't they rush over to get their games listed?

Half the game is already ruined at the start, what can be done?

Therefore, it's very important to hide the platform's "bloodline" and not let everyone know that it's actually Tengda's game platform.

Of course, you can't wrap fire in paper, and it's probably impossible to hide it forever.

But it's good to be able to hide it for a few months or a year and burn more money during this time.

"Very good, continue." Pei Qian nodded, expressing his approval.

Meng Chang, who was recognized by President Pei, became more confident. Obviously, this meant that he was beginning to enter President Pei's field of thinking!

"To ensure this, Tengda's games cannot be released in the early stages, but games from other companies must be released first."

"After the game library is relatively full, Tengda's games will be quietly released."

Pei Qian nodded again.

That's exactly how it should be.

If all of Tengda's games are thrown on this platform at the beginning, wouldn't that be an admission?

Releasing games from other companies first can confuse the players and hide it for longer.

After the players don't think that this platform has anything to do with Tengda, then pretend that Tengda has reached a cooperation with this platform and release some of Tengda's games.

A new platform has many places to spend money, and as long as you are bold, you can definitely burn a lot of money.

But a new problem arises.

Doesn't listing games from other companies mean that the platform can earn some revenue?

It's impossible not to earn a penny. The system won't allow it, and the platform must at least take 10%.

Then… as the number of games increases and the number of users increases, won't it still make money?

Can this problem be solved?

Pei Qian asked, "Do you have any… particularly special ideas about the specific rules and architecture of this platform?"

Pei Qian felt that Meng Chang, who was aiming at reverse publicity, would definitely make some suggestions that would be harmful to the platform, right?

Meng Chang was stunned for a moment: "This..."

"I don't have any great ideas."

"Create a good community atmosphere and let players share creative content?"

"Or, create a relatively complete scoring, rating, and recommendation mechanism?"

Meng Chang didn't understand what President Pei meant by asking this, but since President Pei's ultimate goal was to make this platform profitable, shouldn't he give some more positive answers?

He could only think of these things in a hurry.

Pei Qian was very disappointed.

What the hell are you talking about!

You're giving me suggestions to make more money, what are your intentions!

Forget it, it's obviously too difficult to ask Meng Chang this kind of question.

Take things one step at a time, don't be too eager. It's already very good that Meng Chang can say the first two points.

As for the last question, let's just assume it was an unintentional mistake.

Seeing President Pei's disappointed expression, Meng Chang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had said something wrong.

But… why did he say something wrong?

What kind of answer did President Pei want?

Meng Chang tentatively asked, "Then, President Pei, what do you think we should do?"

Pei Qian slowly took a sip of tea and considered it.

It seems that the game platform will definitely have to release games from other companies, and it's impossible not to make any money at all.

The key question is, how to make less money.

As long as you make less money, then a lot of publicity expenses can be spent, and more subsidies and activities can be done to create losses by spending more money.

How should the revenue share be determined?

Set a low revenue share? It may seem particularly conscientious among a crowd of game channels, attracting game developers.

Set a high revenue share? What if the platform becomes popular in the future and game developers still send games to this side, wouldn't that make even more money?

Pei Qian thought about it, the early and later stages still have to be considered separately.

In the early stage, set a very high commission, 50/50. When other game developers see that this new platform is so ruthless, they definitely won't come.

Once the platform has the potential to become popular, lower the commission and only take 10% to earn less.

All games on the platform only take 10% of the revenue, which is the bottom line allowed by the system, and it can't be lower.

It's also possible to consider having events every now and then to subsidize these game developers and giving players coupons out of your own pocket. Such money-burning activities can also be considered.

But that's still not enough, because these measures only make less money, not no money.

How can you not make money?

Obviously, taking the games off the shelves directly means you don't make money!

The more games that are taken off the shelves, the less money you naturally make.

However, you can't just randomly remove games from the shelves, you have to have a reasonable reason.

It's definitely not okay to remove some excellent games. It's best to get rid of low-quality games while also getting rid of games of decent quality. This way, you can make less money!

After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said, "I think, we can do this."

"All new games that are released on this platform will have a one-week 'trial period'."

"For games in the trial period, set the strictest assessment standards."

"After a week, collect player feedback. If the feedback is poor, then the game will be removed and cannot be released on the platform."

"During the trial period, the game also generated sales. For players who meet the refund conditions and submit a refund request, we will go through the normal process to issue a refund; for other players, we will refund half of the game's price, and the other half will be refunded to the game's developer."

In other words, the platform will not take a penny from games that are removed during the trial period!

In this way, many games that could have been released on the platform and made money are brushed off, and the platform doesn't take any of the revenue generated during the trial period.

As for those games that passed the trial period, there's no way to deal with them. After all, there must be games developed by other developers on this platform, and Pei Qian can't find a reason to brush these games off.

But looking at it from a positive perspective, these games must have been released on many other channels, and players may not come to such a new game channel to buy them.

As long as you spend more money than you earn, there's no problem.

Meng Chang nodded repeatedly: "Good idea!"

Obviously, President Pei's statement is completely in line with the basic routine of "Pei's Propaganda Method"!

It will obviously have a great negative impact in the short term, but as long as you persevere for a period of time and usher in a turning point under the right conditions, you will definitely be able to complete the reversal!

Of course, Meng Chang can't guess how to reverse it specifically right now.

But from President Pei's operation, he smelled that familiar smell.

The smell of "Pei's Propaganda Method".

He only needs to formulate a propaganda plan based on the basic principles of "Pei's Propaganda Method" and there is a great hope that he can get a commission!

Seeing Meng Chang's expression, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, that was heartfelt agreement.

With this series of operations, the game platform should be able to burn money for a long time, right?

Now there is no Tianyancha or similar software, so what if it is revealed in half a year or a year that this game platform was created by Tengda? The money has already been lost.

Meng Chang asked, "President Pei, what should this platform be called?"

"Let me think." Pei Qian fell into deep thought again.

The name must be carefully thought out to bring good luck.

"Let's call it 'Morning Dew Game Platform'!"

Pei Qian's original intention was to hope that this game platform would cool down quickly.

"Morning dew" is actually the dew in the morning, and its characteristic is that it disappears very quickly.

It would be a little too direct to call it "Quickly Cool Game Platform", which is not very good.

Therefore, Pei Qian thought of a poem: "Like morning dew, the days gone by are filled with bitterness."

It means that this platform is like morning dew, it won't exist for long and will soon cool down.

This name obviously embodies Pei Qian's beautiful wishes for this game platform.

Meng Chang carefully savored the name.

"Morning Dew Game Platform..."

He knew that President Pei's naming must have profound meaning, just like Doubt VR, the name has a very special meaning, and can even produce a linkage effect with the publicity plan.

The word morning dew is also a relatively common image, but he can't guess what the specific deep meaning is yet.

Go back and slowly comprehend it.

Meng Chang stood up: "President Pei, then I'll go back and slowly consider the publicity plan."

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, go."

"I will arrange for someone to handle the Morning Dew Game Platform matter, and I will notify you when there is news."



Watching Meng Chang leave, Pei Qian began to consider who should be in charge of this Morning Dew Game Platform.

Logically speaking, Tengda is indeed full of talent in terms of games.

But that's not the talent Pei Qian needs!

Letting these professionals go, Pei Qian is very afraid that they will take the game platform to fly in minutes.

Moreover, this person can't be too famous, otherwise it will easily make people associate him with Tengda.

Doesn't know much about games, and is not very famous at the same time...

There are some such people in Tengda, but they are basically employees from non-game departments that Pei Qian doesn't know.

Not knowing means risk.

What if he is a hidden backstab master? What if he is sent to be responsible for the Morning Dew Game Platform and then exposed, wouldn't that be a pain in the ass?

Therefore, this person should also be familiar with him and know him well.

After thinking hard for a long time, Pei Qian suddenly thought of a candidate.

"How about… sending the cat-poop shoveler?"

"Little Tang doesn't know much about games, and people outside don't know her either."

"And she has bad luck attributes, maybe she will drag down the game platform?"

"Um… from all aspects, it's perfect."

"It's her!"
