Chapter 1470 Reaching Greatness and Benefiting All (Bonus Chapter)

Meanwhile, Zhou Muyan was also looking at the game's data, grinning from ear to ear.

Excellent, President Pei's involvement is truly extraordinary!

Min Jingchao is also amazing, leading the Skyfire Studio team to create such a blockbuster game without crunching!

It seems that signing everyone up for the suffering tour was money well spent!

Everyone truly deserves this paid vacation.

Zhou Muyan has always been a relatively generous boss. Although he can't compare to President Pei, he never skimps on various benefits and bonuses as long as the project makes money.

He was happily watching the popularity of "Bullet Marks 2" rise when the phone rang.

Zhou Muyan was taken aback for a moment, then answered the phone: "Hello? Director Ding?"

A somewhat confused and agitated voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director Zhou, what's going on with this announcement?"

Zhou Muyan was stunned: "Announcement? What's wrong with this announcement?"

Director Ding seemed a little stumped by the question, paused, and then said: "This announcement, this announcement is completely unnecessary, right? Our operating strategy should be flexible, and should be adjusted according to the subsequent operation of the game. How can we lay all our cards on the table with the players right from the start?"

"Besides, when it comes to operational matters, any announcement should be made by our Longyu Group!"

"Director Zhou, you didn't even tell me you were going to make this announcement, that's not cool!"

Zhou Muyan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Director Ding, you don't know about this?"

"Oh dear, what a mess, there must be some misunderstanding!"

"It's like this, recently there have been rumors online, saying that 'Bullet Marks 2' will definitely have some messy operational activities later on. Isn't that a rumor? Isn't that slander?"

"If you hadn't signed an agreement with Tenda, it would be one thing, and there might indeed be some氪金 (kè jīn, money-spending) operational activities in the future, and we couldn't issue an announcement to slap ourselves in the face. But you've signed an agreement with Tenda, so there definitely won't be any such operational activities in the future, so of course we have to clarify it as soon as possible!"

"So when the people from Tenda told me about this, I thought it made a lot of sense, and the sooner the announcement was made, the better!"

"The sooner we make it, the sooner we can dispel the players' doubts, and also show that we are upright and honest. Why not?"

"It's probably because Director Ding is too busy, so you didn't get the news. But that doesn't have much impact. Didn't Longyu Group sign an agreement with Tenda? Everything is agreed upon, so this one announcement shouldn't have any impact, right?"

"If you ask me, Director Ding, you should immediately supplement it with an announcement as well, to complete the whole charade, it's good."

Director Ding: "I, I this..."

Obviously, he still had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

Although they signed an agreement, the content of this agreement was still open to discussion! It wasn't completely impossible to squeeze in some operational activities by skirting the edges and picking at the wording within the scope of the agreement.

But once this announcement was made, it was like exposing this matter to the eyes of all the players. If they were to do such activities again, they would definitely be cursed to death by the players!

And the players could accurately pinpoint the Longyu Group, without accidentally hurting Tenda and Skyfire Studio.

But Director Ding couldn't directly say what he was thinking, and now that things had come to this, it was useless to say anything.

Director Ding stammered for a long time, then finally said: "I see, Director Zhou, I'll issue an announcement on my side later. That's it, see you."

Zhou Muyan: "Hey? Hello?"

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Muyan was still a little puzzled.

"This Director Ding, why does he seem unhappy even though the game is a hit? Whatever, this money-making tree is enough for our studio to eat for several years!"

Zhou Muyan continued to happily look at the background data.

...

Jin Yong was pretending to work on an operating plan when the phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Jin Yong couldn't help but smile knowingly. While answering the phone, he sent the nearly completed operating plan to Director Ding.

"Hello? Director Ding, the operating plan is almost done, I've sent it to you, can you take a quick look?"

"What? The operating plan isn't needed anymore?"

"Skyfire Studio's announcement? What announcement? Oh, we're going to issue a similar one, right? Got it."

Hanging up the phone, Jin Yong smiled, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh: Director Zhao's trick is effective!

Not only did it perfectly achieve the goal, but it also extracted himself from the situation, without causing Director Ding to suspect anything.

Of course, Jin Yong was also forced to do this. If he didn't do anything and really argued with President Pei according to Director Ding's wishes, he would most likely end up in a situation where he was disliked by both sides.

As a game operator, Jin Yong was very clear about the work he was doing.

Are game operators often scolded? Of course, they are.

Every time there is a氪金 (kè jīn, money-spending) activity, the first to be scolded is definitely the game operator, and the second to be scolded is the company boss and the damn planner.

At this time, the damn planner is very wronged, I'm only in charge of designing the game, the operation is not under my control at all! Why are you scolding me?

In fact, the operator is also very wronged. The plan is indeed made by the operator, but many times, they are taking the blame for the boss!

The boss wants the operator to make a more profitable plan, can the operator not do it? If they dare not do it, they will be replaced immediately!

Therefore, Jin Yong often knows that this is wrong and will drain the game's lifespan, and that he will be scolded, but he can't help it. This is the industry he is in, can he go against the boss?

If it were in the past, if Director Ding made such a request, even if he was unwilling, he would have no choice but to pinch his nose and do it.

But this time, the situation was different.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually do this?

As long as he thought of a way to bring out the great Buddha, Tenda and President Pei, many problems could be solved easily.

The boss can indeed squeeze his employees, but he doesn't dare to be rude to President Pei! As long as Tenda can strike first, the boss will become obedient.

Of course, it's not about squeezing or controlling these bosses, they still earn their money, but it's about controlling them and preventing them from messing things up.

Jin Yong quickly drafted the announcement, confirmed that it was correct, and sent it out.

After all, Skyfire Studio had already given an example, so it was easy to follow.

It was released simultaneously on Longyu Group's official website, official Weibo, and other social media official accounts.

Soon, players responded one after another.

"Good heavens, Longyu Group has also issued an announcement! Then this matter is definitely guaranteed to be true!"

"They have to issue it, Skyfire Studio has already stated their position first. If Longyu Group doesn't state their position, wouldn't that be the same as writing four big words 'Come and attack me' on their face?"

"Great, regulating in-app purchase prices and promising to never engage in any operational activities other than price reductions and discounts, there's basically no room for playing with words, right? 'Bullet Marks 2' is confirmed to be a game as conscientious as gog! I'm infinitely optimistic!"

"I still don't believe in the integrity of Skyfire Studio and Longyu Group, these two have always had a bad track record, and it's not impossible for them to break their promise."

"But it's always a good thing that they are willing to issue this announcement and state their position!"

"Tenda is still awesome, able to require the operators to operate according to their own rules! This is only possible with Tenda. Other research and development companies probably don't have any say at all. Don't even mention making suggestions on the operational plan, it's good enough if they aren't forced by the operators to change the design plan!"

"Who told Tenda to come up with ideas and designs? If you can design a blockbuster game yourself, then you can design it yourself. As long as you cooperate with Tenda, of course you have to listen to everything Tenda says!"

"So, isn't Tenda reaching greatness and benefiting all? Bringing this concept of conscientious operation to other companies and achieving the effect of good money driving out bad?"

"Should more game companies cooperate with Tenda in the future? It is suggested that this matter can become the norm. In the future, the game circle will also have a Tenda certification. As long as the company that cooperates with Tenda, first issue an announcement saying that they will follow these two operating principles, and then everyone will go and play!"

"Woah, isn't that too ruthless?"

"Ruthless my ass, it's not like they aren't making money! It's just to make them cut韭菜 (jiǔ cài, chives, a metaphor for players who are repeatedly exploited for money) less ruthlessly, and stop always thinking about pulling the韭菜 (jiǔ cài, chives) up by the roots."

"That makes sense, in the future, we'll only play games that are Tenda certified, and slowly the entire game circle will only have Tenda certified games, right? Plan complete!"

Jin Yong didn't expect the response to be so good!

Obviously, players have reached a point of unconditional trust in Tenda and President Pei, so much so that jointly developing a game with Tenda and issuing a statement can gain the endorsement of Tenda's reputation and become a hot topic!

"Could it be that Tenda can really change the entire domestic game environment?"

Jin Yong suddenly had such an outrageous idea.
