Chapter 1404 The Suffering Travel Expansion is Imminent

Seeing these comments, Pei Qian felt a surge of sorrow.

He'd been had!

What happened to a maximum of one episode per month?

Good heavens, one episode a day! Are you laying eggs here?

Even the old sow in the production team couldn't be this fast!

Every single person at Fei Huang Workshop is a traitor! This Wu Chuan looked honest and straightforward, but as soon as he became the project leader, he immediately showed his true colors!

Arrangements, arrangements must be made!

Another individual needing special attention was added to the list for the next suffering travel.

"But then again… I can only blame myself for not asking clearly at the time."

"I heard that only one episode was made and it was only ten minutes long, so I subconsciously assumed that this was the time it took to produce an episode. Wu Chuan just made up reasons like the models being difficult to create."

"If I had asked how long it took to make a season at the time, the situation might have been different…"

"No, no, I can't be finding problems with myself, the problem is obviously with these rebellious subordinates!"

"Regardless, the suffering travel must be arranged!"

Pei Qian quietly pulled out his notebook and added "Wu Chuan" after "Tian Mo's" name.

After adding the name, Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh; he was catching more and more internal spies!

He originally thought that after two rounds of suffering travel, he could arrange for almost all the department heads to go. After that, each suffering travel could arrange for more of his enemies from outside, such as Qiao Laoshi and Ruan Guangjian.

But he never expected that internal spies would be discovered one after another, never-ending, and even increasing in number!

This made Pei Qian wonder how many internal spies there were in the entire Tenda Group.

At the same time, it made him even more eager for the suffering travel to expand as soon as possible.

If he could arrange for hundreds of people to go on each trip, the efficiency would be much higher, and many department heads could go multiple times!

Although there are no clear rules now, each department head can only go once.

Because if it's a small number, people won't care, but they will care if it's unevenly distributed. The core employees haven't even gone yet, but the department heads have already gone twice; it's a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, it must be expanded!

Of course, expansion will also bring a very serious consequence, which is that it is necessary to take in those who have registered online.

It shouldn't be possible to turn a profit in the short term, but such a large group of outsiders paying the registration fee to come in will definitely give the suffering travel a big boost in funds.

But… more people also means greater expenses, so it's really hard to say whether it will be a loss or a profit.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Pei Qian felt that he couldn't let the fear of choking prevent him from eating.

He couldn't abandon the opportunity for his employees to suffer just because it might make money, that would absolutely not work!

To take a step back, if the suffering travel really made money one day, then he would continue to expand the scale.

Don't you all like to suffer? No problem, I'll fulfill your wishes!

Let's see if I'll make money until I can't take it anymore, or if you'll suffer until you can't take it anymore.

Pei Qian felt that he couldn't lose either way.

Because his ability to withstand making money was already very strong, while these people's ability to withstand suffering might not be so strong.

In short, the Inspiration Class was finished.

Originally, this Inspiration Class was almost successful. Many authors were already considering quitting, and their works were not accepted by the mainstream readers on Zhongdian Chinese Network, and the response was very ordinary.

Pei Qian's intention was to draw a pie for the authors, adapt their works, on the one hand, to keep them in the Inspiration Class to continue slacking off, and on the other hand, to use the experience of these works failing to lose money for himself in a different art form.

But he never expected that they would all make money!

It was outrageous.

To the point where Pei Qian was a little suspicious of himself; how could he randomly pick three books and have them all make money?

If the probability of each book making money after adaptation was 50%, wouldn't that mean that he randomly picked out a 12.5% probability?

That's too unlucky!

"Forget it, the Inspiration Class is hopeless in the short term."

"Let's wait until this period passes. If the new adaptations can flop a few times in the future, then this Inspiration Class may have a chance to be saved."

"Let's see how the game department is doing."

"'Ghost General 2' has not yet been developed. According to the previous plan, it should be launched at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Meng Chang should have gone there to arrange the publicity plan."

"As for 'Safe and Civilized Driving'… it should be on sale this week, right? Why do I only see the press conference for the peripherals, and not the publicity related to the game?"

Pei Qian remembered that the peripheral press conference at Ouhai Technology was held last Thursday, and a whole week had passed since then, but there hadn't been much movement on the 'Safe and Civilized Driving' side.

As a result, many players thought that there would be no related supporting games in the short term, so not many people bought these peripherals.

Of course, the so-called "not many" depends on what you compare it to.

Compared with ordinary steering wheel peripherals, it still sold quite a lot. After all, this direct-drive steering wheel was very cost-effective compared to domestic brands, and many driving game enthusiasts would choose to buy it.

But most people bought single items, not packages.

The so-called "not many" is mainly compared to Tenda's stock.

Ouhai Technology has had "excessive stock" written into its genes since its inception. Whether it is mobile phones, fully automatic smart clothes-lifting machines, or smart fitness clothes racks, they are all piled up in the warehouse before the official sale. If the warehouse is not enough, they have to continue renting, in short, the more stock, the better.

The same is true for this driving package. The g-force seats and other kits that are relatively space-consuming and expensive have slightly less stock, while the steering wheel and basic package accessories are basically fully stocked.

Relying solely on these driving enthusiasts to clear Tenda's inventory is a bit like the Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains.

Of course, many people guessed that Tenda would probably release a supporting game, which is a very natural association.

Even smart fitness clothes racks have games, let alone peripherals that are clearly designed for driving games?

Some people even deduced from the name "Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator" that the new game that Tenda was going to release was probably related to "Safe and Civilized Driving."

However, most people didn't have high expectations for this and were still waiting and seeing, because the press conference didn't mention this.

Everyone thought that even if they were going to release a game, it wouldn't be in a week or two, at least a month or more, right?

Otherwise, why didn't they just mention it when introducing the peripherals?

Pei Qian was also puzzled, yes, why didn't they just mention it when introducing the peripherals?

He thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

Because Meng Chang had abandoned the publicity work for "Safe and Civilized Driving"!

This resulted in Shang Yang Games and Ouhai Technology having to be responsible for their respective publicity.

Ye Zhizhou didn't have much experience in publicity work and would definitely be entangled in the publicity plan, while Ouhai Technology only knew how to promote the products they were responsible for.

As a result, the publicity on both sides was uncoordinated due to a lack of overall planning!

They were staggered by a week, resulting in low popularity in the early stage and a clear wait-and-see attitude from consumers.

Well, this should be the only reasonable explanation!

Thinking of this, the corners of Pei Qian's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It seemed that handing over the allocation of publicity resources to Meng Chang was indeed the right choice!

Because Meng Chang only cared about his commission, he would only focus his energy on the few projects he was responsible for. Although the other projects could get some funding, without a dedicated plan, the publicity effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

"However, even if Ye Zhizhou is slow and doesn't understand publicity, the publicity plan should be released within the next two days."

"I still can't be too careless and need to continue to pay attention."

Pei Qian kept an eye out and silently followed Shang Yang Games' official account on the official game platform, waiting for the publicity materials for "Safe and Civilized Driving" to appear.

…

At the same time, the GOG project team.

Eric and Zhao Xuming were busy with their work.

After the end of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, follow-up operation activities were launched in various regions, and the number of online users, sales, and other data all went up across the board. The GOG project team naturally entered a state of "lying down and winning."

Because the busiest time of the year had passed, and the players were tired, it was not appropriate to continue to engage in some major actions, the effect would not be very good.

Of course, Eric and Zhao Xuming were greatly encouraged after receiving President Pei's trophy and were enthusiastic about their work, but their work was still focused on routine operational activities, diligently completing the aftermath of the activities and planning the overall strategy for the future.

As for the short term, there were no plans to make any big moves.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhao Xuming looked up and saw Zhang Nan, the head of the R&D team.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xuming found that Zhang Nan's expression was a little strange, happy but also full of puzzlement.

Zhang Nan said, "President Pei just sent me a message, saying that the 10 million yuan in profit-sharing funds has been approved for the GOG project team!"

Zhao Xuming was also stunned: "Huh?"

"That's not right, we didn't even write an application report, did we?"

Zhang Nan nodded: "Yeah, I'm also very puzzled, but the information sent by President Pei is very clear. This money is for us, and he doesn't have any requirements for us, as long as we spend it before next month."

Zhao Xuming and Eric looked at each other, and both fell into deep thought.

"No requirements, as long as we spend it before next month…"

Anyone who has been a person in charge at Tenda will know that the so-called "President Pei has no requirements" just means that President Pei has no requirements verbally.

But no one would think that President Pei really has no requirements.

President Pei's requirements are obviously hidden and need to be dug out by the people in charge themselves!

And this time, the GOG project team didn't even write an application report, but President Pei still gave them this only and valuable profit-sharing fund. This kind of seemingly bizarre thing itself shows that President Pei must have other profound meanings behind it!

A friend recommends a book, "Rebirth: I Want to Be a Second-Generation Rich." Reborn in 2008, Hong Sheng finds that it is really difficult for a father to become a dragon and be a second-generation rich. The most important thing is that the mature and sexy senior, the fresh and lovely female classmate, and the generous and hot girl next door are all easier to flirt with!
