Chapter 1506: Who Is Boss Pei’s Disciple?
After returning to Jingzhou, the matters at Finger Games had temporarily come to an end. Boss Pei had already handed everything to Eric to deal with.
Meng Chang still had to return to his job and continue promoting Tengda’s various departments.
The first thing he did when he came to Tengda’s headquarters was to report to Boss Pei about his work. The second thing was to continue receiving missions from Boss Pei.
Meng Chang was still quite energetic even though he was tired from traveling. On one hand, it was because he was in first class and had rested sufficiently on the return trip. On the other hand, Meng Chang felt that his work now was very meaningful and was naturally filled with motivation.
Meng Chang planned to make a trip to Boss Pei’s office directly.
At the same time, Pei Qian was in his office, checking on the first helping plan. “What the hell?!”
“Why are there so many donations?!”
“Didn’t I keep it a secret? There are no rewards either!”“Putting aside familiar faces like Li Shi and Zhou Muyan, why are there even personal donations? There’s even someone who donated two million yuan at once?”
“Boss Pei’s disciple? When did I take in such a traitor? Why didn’t I know about
it!
Pei Qian looked at the donation list and was shocked.
It was like a bolt out of the blue, blasting him.
Wasn’t this an ordinary charity event?
What was going on now?
They had received tens of millions of yuan in total!
Not only that, several other companies had also put forward their demands for business cooperation, hoping to cooperate deeply with Tengda. These partnerships would probably make money for Tengda. How did this happen?
At first, Pei Qian had wanted to add a little business elements to the initialization plan. That was only because he could avoid the restrictions of the system and burn more publicity funds. As for the donations of other companies, Pei Qian had not considered them at all.
This was a highly confidential charity event! It was a charity event without any returns! Even if other companies were to participate, they would not be able to raise so much money, right?
However, reality had given Pei Qian a tight slap across the face.
Forget about those companies that had cooperated a long time ago, the personal donation of this ‘Boss Pei’s Disciple’ was the most ridiculous! Who was this Boss Pei’s disciple?
He had a feeling that this person was a very dangerous person. However, according to the staff, this person did not seem to be an employee of Tengda. He was someone who had nothing to do with Tengda.
Pei Qian was puzzled. His image in front of the public might just be the back of his head. How could he nurture such a firm believer? Not only did he obtain news of the preliminary plan, but he also decisively donated two million yuan in his personal name?
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was very bizarre.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a knock on his office door. Meng Chang arrived. Pei Qian put away the report for the initial plan for now. “You’re back? Have you done everything there?”
Meng Chang nodded. “Yes, it’s basically done. Eric has already gone to Finger Games and taken over completely. However…”
He paused for a moment and said, “The upper echelons of charles and some of Finger Games have still rejected the transaction of shares. We can fire them but it is very difficult for these people to take back their shares.”
“They firmly believe that Finger Games’ shares will definitely rise. That’s true. Finger Games’ shares have been rising ever since the news of us acquiring Finger Games spread.”
“In addition, Eric has also started preparing for IOI’s first money-splitting event according to your instructions, Boss Pei. This has also further pushed the share price to rise.”
Pei Qian nodded slightly. This was foreseeable.
At the moment, most people in the outside world still thought that Finger Games’ shares would continue to rise.
There were many reasons. For example, Tengda would definitely be optimistic about Finger Games’ future profits if it bought Finger Games. It was impossible to spend money to make a loss-making deal. For example, Tengda knew games better than Dayak Corporation. Its operating strategy would definitely be better.
On top of that, some phenomena had also proven this speculation. For example, Boss Pei had sent Eric, who had been in charge of IOI’s domestic server, to take over and reorganize Finger Games. He had not sent his more capable designers. This probably meant that Boss Pei was mainly appeasing Finger Games and did not intend to completely fall out with them. He still had to continue using the upper echelons of Finger Games for a period of time. Another example would be Tengda. After taking over IOI, the first thing it did was to organize a large-scale scattering of coins and benefits like GOG. It would give back to players. This did not look like it wanted to squeeze IOI dry quickly.
At first, many people were worried that Tengda would acquire Finger Games just to make IOI a stepping stone for GOG. However, that did not seem to be the
case.
Therefore, on the whole, Tengda was going to make stable changes to Finger Games. In the short term, the number of active people in IOI would increase rapidly and the prospects would be optimistic. This was the judgment given by the capital market and also the judgment of the executives like Charles.
Of course, most of the thoughts here were actually misinterpreted.
Pei Qian nodded. “I understand.”
Meng Chang said, “Boss Pei, which project should we work on for this month’s publicity plan?”
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. He had not thought about it properly.
This cycle had just begun after all. Many projects had not officially started, or they had just started. It would take at least a few months for the results to be released. There was indeed no good publicity plan for Meng Chang now.
However, on further thought, wasn’t IOI a suitable publicity plan?
At that thought, Pei Qian said, “We’ll publicize IOI this month. However, before that, we have to modify Finger Games.”
“I’ll briefly explain it to you. Note it down and convey it to Eric later.”
Pei Qian had wanted to call Eric and let him listen together. However, on further thought, it was late at night in the United States. It would be inhumane to wake Eric up and listen to a few words before sleeping.
Therefore, he would get Meng Chang to find a working hour that overlaps both the country and the United States to convey it.
This method was not something worth keeping a secret. Pei Qian could not wait for the entire world to know.
Meng Chang took it very seriously and nodded quickly. “Go ahead, Boss Pei.” Pei Qian organized his thoughts and said, “First, fire all the upper echelons of Finger Games!”
“High-level executives like Chrétien, who were born a designer or an art designer, can choose to stay. However, they can only keep the treatment and not real power. They cannot interfere with the operations of the company anymore and become design director or art director.”
“Leave the designers, art, and other core members of Finger Games behind and restore the structure of a studio.”
“In the future, Finger Games will only be responsible for the design of the heroes and the skin and the balance of the values. They will not be responsible for anything else.”
“And then…”
“Everyone in GOG project team, put aside the work on developing the new version for the future for now. Focus on the merging of GOG and IOI. Finger Games will cooperate unconditionally!” “The merging is still based on GOG’s gameplay. It will slightly adjust IOI’s hero mechanism and system balance so that it can better adapt to GOG’s game mechanism. Of course, if some of IOI’s mechanisms are outstanding and are worth keeping, GOG will be able to compatible with each other as long as it does not affect the core fun. Then, we can change GOG’s mechanism slightly.”
“All in all, GOG project team only has one goal next. That is to push GOG and IOI from the game to the servers and then to the comprehensive merging of all leagues!”
“This matter cannot be delayed for too long. We have to set a clear timeline. We can transplant a portion of IOI heroes first, and then slowly transplant more.”
“I want to achieve the goal of merging the two games before the end of this year!”
“After the merger, GOG’s project team will be mainly responsible for the update
and balance of the game mechanism, the development of Eastern cultural background heroes, the operations of the Asian server; Finger Games will be mainly responsible for the development of Western cultural background heroes, as well as the operations of European and Northern American servers.”
“Let Eric tell the public this news directly. There’s no need to hide it. Moreover, let all players see Tengda’s determination!”
Pei Qian spoke so lightly that Meng Chang’s heart began to race.
He finally understood why Boss Pei said that Finger Games’ stock price would plummet soon. Obviously, that was the reason!
Would Finger Games’ share price not plummet? The confidence in the capital market would probably shatter to pieces, right?
However, the problem was… Finger Games’ shares would not have been reduced to this extent just to attack the confidence of the capital market, right!
It was too hurtful. The loss outweighed the gain!
There were actually many operations to choose if it was just to make it impossible for them to benefit from the stock price. For example, it would be enough to expose negative news like Charice. Of course, it could not be too big at once. It had to be small. It had sustainability, which was to compete in patience.
However, this move by Boss Pei was too dangerous!
The key was that this was not only cutting IOI, but also GOG!
GOG was developing well now. Even if it ignored IOI completely, it could develop into the existence that dominated the entire MOBA market. Was there a need to forcefully swallow IOI in a merger?In the past, he had rarely heard of two games forcefully merging together. Even people who did not understand games knew how huge the risk was.
The game was something that would affect the entire operations. The game’s operations were mainly stable. They would not change it if they could. They would change it if they could. The smaller the change, the safer it would be.
For example, when some games decided to make huge changes, it was basically the game itself that was about to fail. They would take the risk to court death. If they changed it, they would either be revived if successful or die of old age if they failed.
However, GOG and IOI had not reached this stage!
He could only say that Boss Pei’s courage was unmatched.
How would the capital market react after this signal was released?
Without a doubt, Finger Games’ shares would definitely plummet because only players had confidence in Boss Pei, and those in the capital market did not.
Meng Chang nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll convey it to Eric.”
“Then, the publicity plan this time is also about the merging of GOG and IOI? I’ll arrange it myself?”
Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, do as you see fit.. Go!”
