To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1269 GOG skin price increase?

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Pei Qian had already returned to Jingzhou.

Because it was still early before the end of get off work, Pei Qian was sitting in business class, and he was not very tired, so he decided to sit in the office for a while to see the work of various departments during this time.

Not long after arriving at the office, someone knocked on the door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Assistant Xin.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Pei Qian asked.

As the scale of Tenda Group grows stronger and stronger, Assistant Xin's role in the company is actually constantly changing.

At the very beginning, Tengda was just a small company, and Pei Qian was directly responsible for many trivial matters in daily operations, so she was indeed mainly an assistant at that stage.

However, with the growing scale of Tengda, the recruitment examination of the Human Resources Department is also on the right track, so whether it is manpower, administration, finance, etc., a large professional team has been formed, and these trivial matters are naturally not necessary. I need Assistant Xin to ask again.

As a result, her work has naturally turned into the overall planning and connection between various departments, as well as higher-level resource allocation issues. In fact, she is doing the work of the vice president, and the benefits are also the vice president's treatment.

It's just that Pei Qian is so easy to use, so her nominal position is still an assistant. Of course, everyone in Tenda knows that she is definitely not just an assistant.

Generally speaking, since everyone tacitly agrees that Mr. Pei has a clear grasp of the situation up and down in the Tenda Group, he will only report on some more important matters.

This time, when Assistant Xin came over, he probably had some important matters that needed to be decided by Pei Qian.

Assistant Xin took out a document and handed it over: "Mr. Pei, this is the activity plan for this year's 1024 Digital Festival."

"The event as a whole still continues the previous style, and the benefits have been slightly upgraded."

"However, this year's GOG activities are different from the past, I think you still need to confirm."

Pei Qian reached out to take the plan: "Huh?"

1024 Digital Festival belongs to Tenda's traditional repertoire and is held every year.

But after all promotional activities, there are only so many tricks back and forth, and it is difficult to come up with new ideas every year.

For most people, real discounts are much more important than fancy activities, and it is not good to make activities too complicated.

Since the response was good in the first year, Pei Qian regards this as a means of daily spending, and the benefits are as full as possible, which is more powerful than last year.

After all, it is a relatively stable activity, so Pei Qian has not paid attention to it for a while.

The 1024 Digital Festival involves many departments of Tenda. According to the normal process, these departments first formulate their own activity plans, and then summarize them to Assistant Xin.

Now Assistant Xin found that GOG's activities have changed a lot compared to last year, so he came here to ask for instructions.

Pei Qian quickly flipped through the plan, and quickly found the location of GOG.

The whole plan has a lot of words, which gave Pei Qian a little headache.

After all, the 1024 Digital Festival is held every year, and the activities must be more varied than last year, so the content of the activities gradually becomes more and more abundant.

Although Pei Qian has made repeated orders, don't make the event so complicated, don't let players waste too much energy trying to figure out how to make it more cost-effective, and don't play price discrimination, but with the accumulation of activities, it is still a must to increase the content. Things to avoid.

The activities of GOG are obviously longer and more complicated than those of other departments.

"This Eric, what are you doing?"

"The event is written so complicated, doesn't it look like your eyes are sore? I have told the person in charge a long time ago that the event should be written in a simpler way. The content of three pages seems to be very laborious."

"Oh, you are new here and don't know the rules, so it's okay."

Pei Qian felt a little headache when he saw the dense text and clauses.

I even wanted to call back and ask Eric to rewrite and simplify all the terms of the event.

But after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea again.

Why do you want to dig Eric?

Isn't it because of his ability in this area!
If a person is recruited, but he is not allowed to continue his own way of working, but subconsciously uses Tengda's set of tools to transform him, then what is the point of poaching people?

If Eric really "degenerated" like everyone else, wouldn't it be a blood loss?
So Pei Qian thought about it, and Eric seemed out of place compared with other responsible persons, which is a good thing instead.

This means that Eric still continues the tradition of rushing to the street before, and has not been assimilated by Tengda, so it makes sense to dig him.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian didn't say anything, trying to force himself to read on.

"Huh? The price of the event skin is doubled?"

Among the vast number of terms, numbers are obviously the most eye-catching, so Pei Qian saw the changes in skin prices at a glance.

GOG’s skin prices are consistent: Brave skins are given away for free after the hero reaches the top level of proficiency, epic skins cost 18 yuan, and legendary skins cost 45 yuan. In addition, there are also some limited skins, and there are various ways to obtain them.

Later, Min Jingchao set up a creative community. For any hero made by the official adopting player’s creativity, the first skin is [-]% off, the second skin is [-]% off, and the third skin is [-]% off. The time limit is one month from the date of skin sale. efficient.

Since then, GOG's skin has entered the era of cabbage prices in an all-round way.

And every time there is an event, these skins are often discounted, [-]% off is commonplace, and sometimes even [-]% off, so many players feel that the skin is so cheap, it is unhuman not to buy it.

Under such a set of pricing strategies, in fact, most of Tenda's profits are in the legendary skins and limited skins of some heroes.

The brave skins are all given away for free, and the production cost of the skins cannot be recovered. It is completely spent on buying and shouting. However, under Pei Qian's request, the brave skins are also made, and they will not only pay for one or two because they do not make money. Money confused.

The money earned from epic skins is not too much, and if it is used to subsidize the cost of brave skins, it is basically still a loss.

The profits are basically concentrated on the cool legendary skins of some popular heroes, as well as limited skins during events.

Although Tengda's activities are very frequent and vigorous, it has not affected the enthusiasm of players for the first purchase.

Because the interval between these activities is relatively clear. For example, the 1024 Digital Festival is a traditional reserved event. Players know that activities must be held on this day, and they will wait until this day to buy skins.

Tenda's strategy is to refund the price difference if the skin is discounted within a short period of time after purchasing the skin. Of course, it will not be refunded if the time is longer.

Therefore, for players, on the one hand, they can be optimistic about the purchase of various event nodes, and on the other hand, because they buy early and enjoy early, even if the purchase is a bit more expensive, they can either get a refund of the price difference, or buy early and enjoy early.

Especially the event-limited skins, because they are all launched during each event, there will be no new events in the short term, and there will be no discounts. By the time of the next event, the time to make up the difference is basically past, so basically It was actually sold for 45 yuan, and the profit was good.

To put it bluntly, these skins are specially prepared for players who don't care much about the price, but like to get new skins at the first time.

They don't care whether the discount is discounted or not, they only care about getting the latest skin as soon as possible and looking comfortable.

The theme skin for the 1024 Digital Festival this time has already been produced when Min Jingchao was still there, and it has not been announced, just waiting for the 1024 Digital Festival event.

The skin theme is "light and darkness", one side is an angel theme that looks bright and righteous, and the other side is a dark and evil demon theme.

The theme itself has a high degree of playability, and it is easy to make a lot of fun with some specific heroes, so there must be no problem with the quality of the skin.

The problem is the price.

Pei Qian found that the price of the skin had actually increased, from the original default cap of 45 yuan to 68 yuan!
Moreover, there is generally a first-week discount for new skins released by Tenda. Although it is not very high, there is basically a 36% discount, which is [-] yuan.

In this way, the price of skins at this year's 1024 Digital Festival has almost doubled!
Pei Qian's first reaction was that he was not happy.

Isn't this nonsense!

The sale of this skin is all profit. If the price is mentioned, how much more money will I make!
The scale of the event this time is already large, and GOG's events are synchronized around the world. The money is earned, and I can't sleep well...

Pei Qian just wanted to tell Assistant Xin to call back the plan and let Eric redo it, but after thinking about it, he realized the previous problem again.

In the matter of failure, the golden pair of Eric and Zhao Xuming is professional.

You have to respect the professional opinions of professionals!
It is easy to cut the price back now, but in that case, the situation of GOG will not change in any way. What is the point of poaching Eric and Zhao Xuming by yourself?

Maybe it will affect Eric's original work thinking because of this cut, and make him change to Tengda's working method in an all-round way...

No, no, no, you can't do that.

Pei Qian felt that he had to support and encourage Eric's ideas.

Although there will be some pressure to make money in the short term, maybe slowly, Eric can really make GOG dirty?
Of course, it would be too optimistic and impossible to be pornographic, but wouldn't it be nice to be scolded a little bit and give ioi a certain living space?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian decided to pamper Eric this time.

I earned this money with tears in my eyes, I hope you won't let me down in the future!
"There's nothing wrong with the plan, so let's do it this way." Pei Qian handed the plan back.

Assistant Xin nodded without asking further questions: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

Today is already the 23rd, and the content of the event will be announced in front of the players at midnight on the 24th.

Pei Qian decided to go to bed a little later tonight to see how the players responded, and whether they were scolding harshly.

Of course, even if they were scolded, Eric and Zhao Xuming were mostly responsible.

Because since Eric and Zhao Xuming joined the job, some gossip has spread, but some players don't want to believe that Boss Pei would dig such two live treasures.

What is there to dig for the defeated general?It sounds a little nonsense.

But the gossip is actually true...

On the contrary, Pei Qian was very happy. If the bad reputation of Eric and Zhao Xuming in ioi can help GOG, then of course it is a wish!

……

……

October 10, midnight.

As soon as the event was refreshed on GOG's official website, Pei Qian immediately clicked in to check it out.

The name of the event is slightly different from what I saw on the plan before. The theme of the plan is "Light and Darkness", but the name of the event on the webpage for players is "Light Comes".

It may be because "Light and Darkness" is a bit too straightforward and not suitable as an event name, while "Light Comes" sounds a little more imposing.

The specific description of the event seems to be similar in content to the plan that Pei Qian saw before, but the description is quite different.

This is also normal. After all, the internal plan is not the same as the instructions written for the players. The former must be relatively simple and straightforward, while the latter needs some text modification to bring a more polite way to the players. , A feeling of respect.

There are other activities besides the skin, but these activities are relatively routine, so Pei Qian directly scrolled down and found the relevant content of the new limited skin.

The price is 68 yuan!
Looking at the comments and feedback from players, it turns out that most people's focus is mainly on the price of the skin.

And the response was quite intense!
"What's the deal with the pricing of this skin? 68 yuan? It's almost twice as expensive as the previous event skin!"

"Could it be that the skins are made more cool this time? Oh, it seems that these skins also have some exclusive activities in the game, but these activities are not considered rewards! I spent money to buy a liver event opportunity? are you crazy!"

"It's really unreasonable. Isn't GOG's skin cap capped at 45 yuan? Haven't heard that there are more advanced skins on the legendary skin?"

"Then you see it now."

"If the skin is of good quality, it should be more expensive."

"That's not what you said! If you add some special effects to the skin and sell it for double the price, wouldn't that be the same as ioi? The ioi skin price increase has been resisted before, isn't it bad enough to be scolded? How come GOG also started playing this trick?"

"That's right, if you add some special effects, the price will double? It's really ugly!"

"You really guessed it right, are you familiar with it? This is the ioi operation! The gossip has long said that the GOG project team poached the original ioi director Eric, and now they are doing some ioi operations. Isn't that right?" Is it normal?"

"Fuck! Isn't that a fake melon? Originally, the GOG project team was fine, so why did you dig up this trash like Eric? If it wasn't for him, ioi would have become famous so quickly?"

"It's really not a fake melon. Many channels have verified that Eric was indeed poached by Tengda!"

"This is to die!"

Many players were too calm, and even a little angry.

The price increase of the skin is only one of the reasons, and the main reason is that he doesn't trust Eric at all.

Originally, there had been gossip about Eric taking over as the head of GOG on the Internet, but most players didn't believe it, and didn't even pay much attention.

Because subconsciously feel, isn't this nonsense?
To dig this person, I'm afraid that my company won't cool down fast enough?

This level of poaching, Mr. Pei must know.

With Boss Pei's brilliance and martial arts, how could he do such a stupid trick that players think is unreliable?

But after the 1024 Digital Festival came out, players began to discuss this matter again.

After discussion, I found that this melon seems to be real!
There are many channels that can verify each other, and the person in charge of GOG has indeed changed!
Considering ioi's previous series of coquettish operations, Eric's bad reputation among the player community, and the fuse of this skin price increase, this contradiction was suddenly aroused.

There are even many players protesting on the forum, while calling on everyone not to buy skins, and to resist with practical actions.

As long as the official sees that after the players boycott, the sales of the skin do not meet expectations, it will naturally restore the skin to the normal price!
