Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Friday, December 2nd.

In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian is sipping coffee while checking the weekly work reports submitted to him by various departments.

I don't know why, there is a sense of criticism inexplicably.

Now Pei Qian understands a little bit why those fainted monarchs in ancient times didn't like Shang Dynasty and don't like the memorials, because this is really a very troublesome thing, how can it be fun to eat, drink and play every day as a shopkeeper!

At present, Tengda has a lot of industries. If the heads of each department come to report work, it will be a little difficult to turn around, and Pei Qian doesn't want that. After all, he needs freedom.

Therefore, at present, Pei Qian supervises the work of various departments of Tenda mainly through two methods:

The first is that each department regularly submits a weekly work report, condensing the work situation this week to a few dozen words, so that Pei Qian can roughly know what these departments are planning recently and take precautions in advance.

The second type is the bi-weekly regular meeting of the management compensation student. These reports will be slightly more detailed, and they can also be mutually confirmed with the weekly work reports of various departments to ensure the accuracy of the information.

Pei Qian flipped through the weekly reports sent by various departments, and stopped the weekly reports on Wangyang Games.

"Hey, did the new DLC for the two games "Lonely Desert Road" and "Game Maker" officially go live yesterday?"

"Good thing."

"...I won't be the last to know the news, am I?"

In the past two days, besides going to class, Pei Qian also spent a lot of time on surprise review.

Because next month will be the exam week, the junior courses are relatively more difficult than the freshmen and sophomores, and there are more exam subjects.

Before the exam, he always failed Ma Yang, which made Pei Qian feel ashamed.

You can always be ashamed this time?

You know, Ma Yang is very busy now, not only doing live broadcasts to "carry goods", but also spreading coins on Weibo, and now he has become a celebrity in school, and he may be recognized even on the road. Many students would respectfully shout Mr. Ma when they saw this big face.

Just this, Lao Ma still has to spare time to carefully review and prepare for the exam.

As for Pei Qian, although everyone in the Tenda Group thinks that Pei is always ten times busier than Ma, Pei Qian knows in his heart that his real working time may be only that two hours a day.

That is, the month before the settlement is really busy.

Therefore, Pei Qian felt that if he could not pass the exam under this situation, it would really make no sense.

What's more, this time Pei Qian also deliberately borrowed the notes of a few well-studied girls in the class, which can be said to be well prepared.

He hadn't taken the Lao Ma test before, and Pei Qian also seriously reflected on it, and felt that it was mainly because of the wrong posture in his review.

I borrowed Ma Yang's notes to review, and the upper limit was just one point from him. How could it be exceeded?

Assuming that the upper limit of Ma Yang's notes is 70 points, it is impossible to break through 70 points no matter how much you review!

So this time, Pei Qian borrowed other people's notes very stupidly, just thinking about being able to overtake in corners and beat Ma Yang once in terms of performance.

Otherwise, it would be a shame to fail the old Ma bastard in every exam!It seemed that Pei Qian didn't even understand it.

Pei Qian, who had been concentrating on reviewing these two days, did not pay attention to the DLC launch of these two old games, so he realized later that he only found out when he saw the work weekly report of Wang Yang game the next day when the DLC was launched.

"Let me see the sales..."

"These two broken games have been for so long. Everyone is tired of playing. Wouldn't anyone still buy their DLC? No, no?"

"Fuck! What's the situation?"

Pei Qian opened the backstage and took a look.

The two DLCs that went online yesterday, "Lonely Desert Road" DLC sales have reached 250,000 copies, and "Game Maker" DLC sales have reached 130,000 copies!

Based on a rough estimate of the price of 5 yuan and 18 yuan, after deducting the share, tax deduction, etc., the net income of these two DLCs to the Tenda game is more than two million a day!

Moreover, this is only one day's income.

In the next week or even a month, these DLCs will continue to generate revenue, and with the spread of influence in the next few days, sales may even show signs of increase!

Pei Qian was at a loss.

What's wrong with this!

He is a little bit confused about the current situation, how long have these two games been out?Shouldn't it be a waste in the players' game library?

What does it mean that you always hold these two broken games and don't let go?This game is out of DLC, you still keep buying, sick!

Pei Qian decided to do DLC for these old games with two intentions:

The first is to distract the manpower of Wangyang games, and let Wang Xiaobin, who is not good at gameplay, do these DLCs, which can slow down GOG's overseas operations a little bit and give ioi a chance to breathe;

The second is that there should be no people playing the old game, and a sneaky update of a DLC, which costs money and has no sales, has the best of both worlds.

As a result, when I look at it now, I am completely blinded!

This sales is a bit outrageous!

Now Pei Qian's biggest feeling is confusion and confusion.

Said Wang Xiaobin is not good at designing gameplay?No one has played the old game that I said?

What's the situation now?

With confusion, Pei Qian went to the forum and saw a long and enthusiastic comment from a certain player.

"Tengda Games: Sincerity creates a perfect example of a win-win situation!

"Yesterday I heard that "Lonely Desert Road" and "Game Maker" updated the DLC, my first reaction was not to believe. These two games have been out for a long time, and the game itself is already free. Is it necessary to release DLC again? Can I really make money?"

"I am a little confused. Tenda has GOG in his hands and is still developing new large-scale game projects. Why take time to develop DLC for these old games that have completed their historical mission?"

"But I understand now, Tenda's operations are full of routines!"

"Everyone knows that the two games "Lonely Desert Road" and "Game Maker" have been free for a long time, so most people have already picked it up, right?"

"I originally thought that this kind of free is a very common promotion strategy. After all, the life of the game is about to end, and there is not much sales left. It is a good choice to give up that point of sales to expand the influence of the game."

"But now I realize that the original body is free and selling DLC ​​is also a good option! This is a trap!"

"It is precisely because the two games are free of charge, which greatly expands the player base of the game, so when a new DLC is released, such good sales can be achieved!"

"What's even more commendable is that on the basis of the original single-player gameplay, this time the DLC has added a new online gameplay, which immediately activated the potential of these two games, allowing old players to find new fun! And, this The second game also buried the easter eggs of Tenda’s new game, so there is even more reason to buy it!"

"So I said that Tenda Games is a model of sincerity to create a win-win situation."

"If it's another company, the old game will definitely let it fend for itself, and players can only throw the game in the game library."

"But Tenda is different. They are willing to update the old games every once in a while. This aspect shows a strong sense of responsibility and makes players feel that Tenda will not give up any game; on the other hand, they use interesting gameplay and Easter eggs connect all the old games together and become part of Tenda’s game empire. The method of selling DLC ​​for free first has also achieved good sales and revenue."

"To be honest, this kind of sincerity is not something difficult to do, but most companies are unwilling to do it because they feel unprofitable. But Tenda did the opposite, which is enough to show how much this company is. A maverick company!"

"Don't talk about it, I will buy these two DLCs first!"

Pei Qian looked at this long comment and his expression fell into a dull state.

Is it free to sell more DLC?

Don't mess with me, I don't mean it at all!

If the system stipulates that new products must be priced, believe it or not that I have given all DLC free?

Pei Qian originally thought that the worst situation was nothing more than earning some word of mouth, but he didn't expect that so many players were willing to pay for it!

In fact, players who pay for DLC currently do not account for a high proportion of the total sales of the game itself, but because the two game bodies are already free, too many people have received and played, so selling a DLC can activate the game now So many people are willing to buy the new gameplay!

"It's not too late. This money must be spent quickly."

"Go to Dream Dream Venture Capital?"

Pei Qian felt uncomfortable when he thought of making money again.

Although there are still nearly two months left before settlement, these two DLCs will continue to make money.

What to do with this money is to plan ahead and plan early.

Pei Qian thought for a while, still had to go to Dream Realization Venture Capital.

The first batch of companies that invested should be able to tell whether they are profitable.Sell ​​the profitable ones as soon as possible, and then chase after the unprofitable ones, you should be able to spend the windfall.

...

Dream Venture Capital, meeting room.

He Desheng began to report the first round of investment to President Pei.

"Mr. Pei, we have invested in 11 companies in total. Two companies have already shown obvious signs of profitability, one company has a clear profit trend, and three companies have good enthusiasm, which has attracted the attention of other investors. The remaining five companies are silent, but there are still a lot of funds in the company accounts, and there is no shortage of money for the time being."

"This is the detailed information of each company, please take a look."

Pei Qian stretched out his hand to take over the information, and found that all of them were all kinds of complicated financial statements, and they couldn't help but grow big.

He put the information aside: "I don't look at these things. You just follow my previous regulations. If you have made a profit, sell it immediately; if it shows a profit trend, don't invest any more, and sell it when you make a profit. If there is no profit, continue to observe; if the money is exhausted, continue to invest."

"After you sell the money you earn, you can directly invest in the following companies in order. The finance we sent can also be withdrawn, and then we can take charge of other companies."
