To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1266 One dares to send, the other dares to accept

Sun Xi nodded: "I see, I understand."

"But I still have a question, which is the selling price of the skin."

"As Mr. Pei said, you can use skins to charge, so why not set a higher price? "Bullet 2" does not constitute a competitive relationship with GOG. It is not surprising that the skin prices of the two different game types are different. "

"As an FPS game, "Bullet 2" already has a small player base, the skin price is low, and the profit is naturally low. If the sales volume does not increase, won't it fall into a vicious circle?"

"I think it's better to set the skin price higher at the beginning. If the profit situation is more optimistic, and then slowly discount and lower the price, it can also have the effect of stimulating consumption, and it will be more secure."

Pei Qian: "..."

Good guy, sure enough, people outside are not easy to fool.

Although the people in the Tenda game department are very professional, but in general, they trust Mr. Pei too much, so even if they have questions, they will not ask more questions, but will think for themselves.

For the people at Skyfire Studio, the questions were obviously much sharper.

But this small problem is obviously not enough to bother Pei Qian.

Even Mr. He An, an old-timer in the game industry, can fool around. Isn't it easy to deal with a few young people?

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian said, "I think this is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg."

"The player said: If your skin is cheaper, I will buy more."

"The game dealer said: You buy more first, and then my skin will be discounted."

"No one is willing to make concessions first, then this will fall into an endless loop."

"If it's like you said, sell it at a high price first, and then gradually discount it later, then let me ask you: If the skin sells well at a high price, will you still be willing to make a big discount? If there is a discount, there will be a [-]% discount, Is it [-]% off or even lower? I’m afraid it’s a [-]% off or [-]% off at most.

"If the skin doesn't sell well, will it appear that the price of the skin is inflated if the skin is discounted again, making players gloat and won't buy it?"

"So, your idea is very optimistic and beautiful, but the actual operability is not strong."

"If you don't do some things at the beginning, the difficulty of doing it halfway is unimaginable."

"As for the game group..."

"It's also a chicken-and-egg question."

"If a certain game is not attractive enough to players, then there will naturally be fewer players; if there are fewer players, the income of the game is low, and there is no money for subsequent updates, and the attractiveness of the game to players will further decline."

"Over time, it's a vicious cycle."

"So, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. If you want to do it, do your best, and lower the price from the beginning, so that players will feel embarrassed if they don't spend money, and make them feel that it is not human if they don't buy such cheap skins. Only then can a benign cycle!"

Pei Qian's expression was quite serious, and he conquered everyone in terms of momentum.

Sun Xi nodded, he was speechless.

Mr. Pei meant that although there are not many players now, as long as "Bullet 2" is done well enough and conscientious enough, there will always be more players in the future.

This is something that will happen in the future, and no one can judge for sure, so there is no way to deny it.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be bad-mouthing yourself?

The game has not been released yet, so it would be too discouraging to think about what to do if there are no players to play.

Therefore, in this direction, the topic is also stopped.

Zhou Muyan coughed twice: "Well, that's the way the fee is set."

"However, I think Longyu Group will have some complaints about this charging model..."

Skins are priced cheaply, which is obviously not conducive to making money for Longyu Group.

Tianhuo Studio is a research and development company, and Longyu Group is an operating company. Obviously, the operating company is more concerned about this aspect.

Pei Qian chuckled: "Why do you care so much about what they think? You can't let the operating company do the pricing of the game. It's like asking a cat if you want to eat a small dried fish. There will only be one answer. "

The goal of the operating company, to put it bluntly, is "to make the game operate better", and to put it bluntly, it is "to make more money".

These two statements seem to be the same on the surface, but they often have a big deviation in actual operation, getting closer to the latter and farther away from the former.

Zhou Muyan nodded and silently gave President Pei a thumbs up.

Sure enough, an awesome game producer like Mr. Pei can already completely ignore the operator's opinion.

Even Boss Pei's own skills in operation are unrivaled in the world, so why bother to think about what Longyu Group thinks? GOG can beat ioi all over the place, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Okay, then the problem of the charging model has been solved, and then there is only the problem of painting style."

"Boss Pei, what style of painting do you think is more suitable?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Let's listen to everyone's opinions first."

Zhou Muyan looked at Sun Xi again.

Sun Xi pondered for a moment, and said: "The success of "Sea Fortress" lies in the relatively exaggerated and cool appearance of epic weapons such as Fire Unicorn and Barrett. It can be seen that most players say they want to be realistic, but add After the special effect, it will be really fragrant."

"I think we also have to work hard in this direction, making it a little more exaggerated and cool."

The designers including Zhou Muyan nodded their heads.

This is what they analyzed when summarizing the failure experience of "Bullet Scar", which can be said to be the consensus within Tianhuo Studio.

However, at this moment, a voice said faintly: "Is that so? I think there is nothing wrong with things like weapons that are low-key, simple, and realistic."

Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to find that it was Boss Pei who spoke.

There was silence in the conference room.

It feels... have the roles of the two parties switched?
Shouldn't it be Tengda who frantically told about the successful experience of "Sea Fortress", and then Tianhuo Studio said that he should stick to his own thinking?
How come back?

Now it has become that Tianhuo Studio is trying to follow the successful experience of "Sea Fortress", but Mr. Pei keeps denying it.

It's outrageous!
Sun Xi tentatively asked: "Mr. Pei, you are saying that we plan to sell skins to make money, and the skin of the gun is still low-key, simple, and realistic..."

Pei Qian nodded: "What's the matter? I think being low-key, simple, and realistic does not conflict with making it look good and making it unique."

Everyone fell into silence again.

Good guy, it's okay to let you tell all the truth and irony!
Mr. Pei's words simply reminded everyone of the kind of unscrupulous party A, who opened his mouth to say "colorful black" and "colorful white", and directly gave a contradictory request, anyway, what did it look like in the end? , can pick faults from Party B.

Zhou Muyan said with emotion: "Boss Pei, you really rely on having Mr. Ruan to do whatever you want..."

"Can you lend us two days, Mr. Ruan? I think only he can handle this kind of request."

Ruan Guangjian to paint?

How can that be done!

Pei Qian shook his head immediately: "Ruan Guangjian may not be able to get away, and Tengda also has a lot of projects entrusted to him."

"Besides, doesn't Tianhuo Studio have its own original artist and model artist? There is no need to look far away. I think the artists on your side are also very good."

Zhou Muyan was a little helpless: "But they are only good at propositional composition!"

The painters at Tianhuo Studio basically work strictly according to the designer's needs, and are already used to this working mode.

Do you want to give a broad concept directly, and then let the painters play freely?
It's too hard for them.

Ruan Guangjian has been designing independently from the beginning, and has cooperated with Tengda for so long, so his skill in controlling the painting style is not comparable to that of ordinary painters.

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "There is always a first time for everything."

"I think the painters in Tianhuo Studio are all excellent themselves. Since they have cooperated for so long, they are all trustworthy. Let them try it out, and maybe they will have some more eye-catching effects."

Zhou Muyan and the designers looked at each other, and they all saw similar expressions on each other's faces.

Mr. Pei, do you think everyone is Mr. Ruan?

As far as the level of the painters in our company is concerned, we really can't believe it!

The requirements are very clear, but the result is still easy to argue, so if they are allowed to design freely, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?
But these words can't be said directly, otherwise if it gets out, the art director will go crazy.

At that time, the art group will collectively protest them, which is really too much.

So everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Pei Qian was exactly what he wanted.

Now that you're all right, I'm going to slip away!

He looked at Min Jingchao: "How about it, do you have a general idea?"

Pei Qian didn't want to say too much, because too much talk would lead to loss.

What if there is a contradiction in the conversation later on, what should I do?
Therefore, as long as Min Jingchao said that it was almost done, he would run away immediately.

Min Jingchao looked at the content in the small notebook, recalled the "Pei Boss Intent Analysis Method" and Hu Xianbin's previous design experience, and said, "Well... there is a little clue."

Hearing this sentence, Pei Qian stood up immediately: "Okay, let's work together!"

"Let's end the meeting first, and wait for Min Jing to come up with the big plan of the game in more than two days before assigning tasks to you."

"Mr. Zhou, take your time to decide on the chief strategist of the "Bullet Scar 2" project. If you are unsure, you can discuss it with Min Jingchao."

Zhou Muyan was stunned, this series of words made him feel genuinely confused.

What the hell is the meeting over?

Nothing has been decided yet!
So far, I only know that the feel of this game is similar to that of "Bullet Scar". The fee model sells skins, and the painting style is also "simple, realistic and unique"...

Even the prototype of the game has not yet been decided.

As for the implementation of the main strategy for Min Jingchao, he has no clue at all.

Zhou Muyan originally wanted these designers to come and listen to them, to give their opinions at the meeting, to see who has more confidence in this project and who has a more suitable resume, and then arrange for whoever will do it.

It turned out to be good now, and these designers were just like him, feeling lonely after hearing it.

I didn't find a chance to speak at all, and the meeting was already over.

These people must also look confused. They don't know how to do this project at all, and it's useless to ask.

Everyone looked at Min Jingchao in unison.

The meaning is very clear: It's okay if we don't understand, if you don't understand, hurry up and keep President Pei here!
After all, you are the lead designer, and you will be the one to develop the game.

However, Min Jingchao nodded: "Alright Mr. Pei, I think it's about the same."

"..." Everyone fell silent in unison.

This kind of superiority and inferiority is also absolute.

One really dares to send tasks, and the other really dares to accept tasks!

Wouldn't this be too hasty!
