Chapter 1403: Immediate Expansion Of Suffering Travel
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Qian was filled with sorrow as he read these comments.
He was fooled big time!
Didn’t they say that they would only produce one episode a month?
Good lord, it’s one episode a day. Are you laying eggs here!
Even an old sow from the production team could not be so fast!
Everyone in Fei Huang Workspace was a traitor! This Wu Chuan looked very honest, but his true colors were revealed the moment he became the project manager!
Arrange, he had to arrange!
There was another target that needed to be taken care of on the next suffering trip list.
“Speaking of which… I was the one who did not ask clearly.”
“I heard that he only made one episode for ten minutes. I subconsciously thought that this was the time for one episode. Wu Chuan only found some reasons why the model was difficult to make.”
“If I had asked how long a season would take, the situation might have been different…”
“That’s not right. How can I find problems with myself? The ones with problems are obviously the subordinates of these crafty people!”
“Forget it, I have to arrange for the Suffering Travels!”
Pei Qian silently took out his small notebook and added “Wu Chuan” behind “Tian Mo”.
After adding them, Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. There were more and more spies!
He had thought that he would be able to arrange for the various department heads to be more or less done after two torturous trips. He would then be able to arrange for more external enemies like Teacher Qiao and Ruan Guangjian.
However, he did not expect there to be more and more spies!
That made Pei Qian wonder how many spies were there in Tengda Corporation.
At the same time, he hoped that the Suffering Travels could be expanded as soon as possible.
It would be much more efficient if there were hundreds of people in each episode. Many people in charge could go there a few more times!
There might be no clear rules now but the heads of the various departments could only go once.
For this matter, it was not a problem of scarcity but of uneven distribution. The core employees had not gone yet. The person-in-charge had already gone twice. It did not make sense.
Thus, he had to expand!
Of course, expansion also had serious consequences. He had to eat the people who signed up online.
It should not be possible to turn losses into profits in the short term. However, if such a large group of people outside paid the registration fee, they would definitely recover a lot of blood for the torturous trip.
However… more people would cost more. It was hard to say if it would be a loss or a profit.
Thus, after careful consideration, Pei Qian decided not to give up his food for fear of choking.
He could not give up letting his employees suffer just because this thing had a chance of making money. That would not do!
Taking ten thousand steps back, if the torturous trip really earned money one day, he would continue to expand.
Don’t you like to suffer? Don’t worry, I’ll satisfy you!
I’ll see if I earn money first until I can’t take it, or if you suffer until you can’t take it.
Pei Qian felt that he would not lose out no matter what.
That was because he had a strong tolerance for making money, and these people might not be able to tolerate suffering.
All in all, the inspiration class was considered useless.
Initially, this inspiration class was almost successful. Many authors had already given up on it. The works that they produced were not accepted by the mainstream readers on Zhongdian Chinese Network. The response was very average.
Pei Qian’s original intention was to paint a pie for the authors and adapt these works. On one hand, he wanted to keep them in the inspiration class to continue slacking. On the other hand, he could use the failure experience of these works to incur losses in another art form.
However, he did not expect to make a profit!
It was ridiculous.
As a result, Pei Qian began to doubt himself. How could he have casually selected three books and earned them all?
If the probability of making money from each revision of a book was 50%, wouldn’t that mean that he had casually picked out 12.5% of the probability?
How f*cking unlucky!
“Forget it, forget it. There’s no hope for the inspiration class in the short term.”
“Let’s wait for this period to pass. If the new adapted works can fail a few times in the future, then there would be a possibility that this inspiration class would be saved.”
“Let’s see how the games department is doing.”
“Ghost General 2 has not been developed yet. According to the previous plan, it should be released at the end of this month or at the beginning of next month. Meng Chang should have already gone there to arrange the publicity plan.”
“As for ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’… it should be released this week, right? Why do I only see the external news conference but not the game-related publicity?”
Pei Qian remembered that Otto Technologies’ external news conference had been held last Thursday. It had been a week, but there had not been much movement from Safe and Civilized Driving.
Many players thought that there would not be related games in the short term, so not many people bought these peripherals.
Of course, the key was how to compare this so-called “not much”.
Compared to ordinary steering wheels, many of them had been sold. After all, the price-quality ratio of this direct steering wheel was too high compared to domestic brands. Many driver game enthusiasts would choose to buy it.
However, most people bought individual products, not combo meals.
This so-called ‘not much’ was mainly compared to Tengda’s stocks.
Otto Technologies had written ‘excessive stocks’ in their genes from the beginning of its birth. Be it cell phones, Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, or smart fitness drying racks, they had all been filled with warehouses before they were officially released. If there were not enough warehouses, they had to continue renting. In short, the more stocks there were, the better.
It was the same for the driving set this time. There were fewer spare parts like the GL seats that took up space and were more expensive. The steering wheel and basic set pieces were basically all maxed out.
It would be foolish to rely on these driving enthusiasts to empty Tengda’s inventory.
Of course, many people guessed that Tengda would most likely come up with an accompanying game. That was a very natural association.
Even the smart fitness drying rack was out of the game, what more this obviously served was a driving game?
Someone even guessed from the name ‘Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator’ that Tengda’s new game was most likely related to ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.
However, most people did not have much expectations for this. They were still watching because they did not mention this at the news conference.
Everyone thought that even if the game was to be released, it would not be within a week or two, at least for a month, right?
Why else would he not mention it when introducing the peripherals?
Pei Qian was puzzled as well. That’s right, why didn’t he mention it when he was introducing the peripherals?
He thought for a long time and finally thought of a relatively reasonable explanation.
That was because Meng Chang stopped caring about the publicity work for “Safe and Civilized Driving” this time!
This caused Shang Yang Games and Otto Technologies to be in charge of their own publicity.
Ye Zhizhou did not have much experience in publicity. He would definitely be conflicted about the publicity plan. Otto Technologies only knew how to promote the products that they were in charge of.
Thus, the publicity on both sides were mismatched because of the lack of coordination!
A week had passed, causing the initial popularity to be low. Consumers’ wait and see attitude was obvious.
Yes, that should be the only reasonable explanation!
At that thought, Pei Qian could not help but smile.
It looked like handing the distribution rights to the publicity resources to Meng Chang was indeed the right choice!
That was because Meng Chang only cared about his commission, so he would only focus his energy on the few projects that he was in charge of. The other projects might be able to get some funds, but the publicity effect would definitely be greatly reduced without a special plan.
“However, no matter how slow Ye Zhizhou is or how much he doesn’t understand publicity, the publicity plan should be out within these two days.”
“I cannot let my guard down too much. I need to continue paying attention.”
Pei Qian was cautious. He quietly followed Shang Yang Games’ official account on the official games platform and waited for the promotional material for ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ to appear.
…
At the same time, in the GOG project team…
Eric and Zhao Xuming were busy with their own work.
After GOG’s international invitational tournament ended, the various regions began their follow-up operations after the servers. The number of online people, sales, and other data had all increased. Naturally, GOG’s project team entered a “win-win situation”.
That was because the busiest period of the year had passed. The players were also tired. It was not appropriate to continue making some big moves now. The effect would not be good.
Of course, Eric and Zhao Xuming were greatly encouraged after receiving Boss Pei’s trophy. Their work became more passionate. However, their work was still focused on regular operations. They diligently completed the cleaning up of the activities and planned the overall strategy for the future.
As for the short-term, he had no plans to make any big moves.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Zhao Xuming looked up. It was the person-in-charge of the research and development team, Zhang Nan.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Xuming realized that Zhang Nan’s expression was a little strange. There was a strong confusion in her happiness.
Zhang Nan said, “Boss Pei just sent me a message. He said that the ten million yuan was given to GOG’s project team!”
Zhao Xuming was stunned as well. “Huh?”
“That’s not right. We didn’t even write an application, right?”
Zhang Nan nodded. “That’s right. I’m very puzzled as well, but Boss Pei’s message said clearly that the money is for us. What’s more, he doesn’t have any requirements for us. He just has to spend it before next month.”
Zhao Xuming and Eric looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
“I don’t have any requests. I just have to spend it before next month…”
Anyone who had been in charge of Tengda would know that the so-called “Boss Pei did not have any requirements” only said that Boss Pei did not have any requirements.
However, no one would think that Boss Pei did not have any requests.
Boss Pei’s request was obviously hidden. The people in charge had to think of ways to dig it out themselves!
This time, GOG’s project team did not even write an application, but Boss Pei still gave them the only and precious share of the profits. This seemed very bizarre, which meant that there must be a deeper meaning behind Boss Pei!
