Losing Money to Be a Chapter 758 - Strong Alliance

Chapter 758: Strong Alliance

Pei Qian flipped through the comnts online and could not help but worry for Finger Gas.

“We didn’t hire fake reviewers to liven things up. Why are these gars arguing?”

“The public opinion is not good. What should I do?”

“Why don’t I hire so fake reviewers to help Finger Gas say a few words on the internet and brag about it to boost their reputation?”

“That won’t do. That might be seen as a satire act and might trigger even greater resistance...”

Of course, Pei Qian was on the side of Finger Gas from the bottom of his heart. He sincerely hoped that their performance in the local servers and world servers would be more impressive. The greater the threat to GOG, the better.

However, in this situation, Pei Qian could only feel anxious and could not do anything.

If he helped players to scold Finger Gas, he would be hitting his opponents and adding insult to injury. If he helped Finger Gas to speak up, it would seem like he was being sarcastic and fanning the flas.

No matter how much Pei Qian thought about it, nothing seed to be appropriate.

Since that was the case, he should remain silent!

There should be no problem if he did not speak up, right?

However, when Pei Qian refreshed the page, he saw another post being uploaded.

“Tengda has not made any comnts yet. I wonder what their attitude is?”

“What other attitude could there be? They must be laughing at this joke. They did nothing and IOI self-destructed.”

“I don’t think so. IOI’s market share in the country is almost lower than Gods Rising now. If you were Boss Pei, would you look at such competitors?”

“That’s true. GOG is only one of Tengda’s businesses. Boss Pei has so many things to worry about. He probably wouldn’t take such a small news like this to heart.”

“Let’s put it another way. GOG’s operations team is in great shape. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Yes, that’s no problem.”

As Pei Qian watched the netizens’ discussions, a question mark slowly floated above his head.

?

What did they an by laughing at them as a joke?

I’m very worried for them!

What did they an by not taking it to heart?

It’s really weighing on my mind!

Pei Qian had been thinking about this matter ever since Lin Wan reported the movents of Finger Gas. He was more concerned about it over all other businesses.

The reason why he did not express his stance was because he was afraid that he would accidentally lead the situation to a more unfavorable direction.

It was just like a small fla. Pei Qian wanted to blow it up a little, but he accidentally blew too much and blew it out. What should he do?

In the end, even if he did not express his stance, the netizens had imagined it all in the wrong direction. Pei Qian felt hopeless.

Who could understand Boss Pei’s misery?

Pei Qian sighed silently. There was a limit to what he could do now. He could only watch carefully by the side in order to protect the last spark of IOI’s dostic server.

...

At the sa ti, in the headquarters of Long Yu Corporation...

The full na of Long Yu Corporation was Shanghai Long Yu Network Developnt Co., Ltd.. Its main business included many types of online interactive entertainnt content and services. Developnt and taking on ga agencies were one of its main businesses. It was also their main source of inco.

However, Long Yu Corporation was also a company with mixed reputation in China.

The gas developed by Long Yu Corporation were mainly gas with paywalls. Among all the gas companies, it was the slowest to transform into a mobile ga. However, based on its accumulation in client-side gas, it was still ranked at the top of the dostic gas industry. It was undoubtedly a huge company.

The reason why they had mixed reviews was because they had developed online gas with high paywalls. What’s more, they might have made a lot of money, they had also been scolded a lot because of their thods;

At the sa ti, Long Yu Corporation had produced many successful foreign gas. However, many of them had failed in their operations which was because they had given up and used more money to squeeze out the last bucket of gold. That was why they had been scolded many tis.

However, in all fairness, Long Yu Corporation was not that bad. In fact, its reputation was much better than that of a ‘malignant tumor’ company like Dayak Corporation. They had both successes and failures as agents of many gas which was not bad when compared to those companies that died with each failed agency.

Many gars still had expectations for the Longyu Corporation.

There were many reasons why Dayak Corporation and Finger Gas chose Long Yu Corporation as the local server’s operator.

First, Dayak Corporation decided to look for operators because they realized that they could not handle IOI’s localized operations in China.

Finding a local agent, especially a large company with rich financial resources and experience as an agent, was indeed advantageous in localizing operations.

Second, Long Yu Corporation offered the highest price and gave the most concessions among all the other companies. They had the greatest sincerity in Dayak Corporation’s view.

When looking for operations companies, different operations companies want different levels of controls.

Dayak Corporation and Finger Gas were rather harsh in this aspect. They were still unwilling to give up too much of their control even though they found a representative. Therefore, they were more inclined to choose an operating company like Long Yu Corporation which did not have much power to ask for so much control.

Lastly, there were other considerations. For example, Long Yu Corporation had a ready-made account system that could direct traffic to IOI through their own ga. Another example was that the headquarters of IOI was in Shanghai where Long Yu Corporation was situated as well. It was more convenient for tily communication.

No matter what the players thought, Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation were very satisfied with this cooperation.

To Longyu Corporation, IOI might be impacted by GOG in the world, but it was far from losing. It still had a good influence. As for the local server, IOI, it was a good opportunity to get a base.

Long Yu Corporation also needed a good client-side ga project to be the focus of its next phase of operations.

Thus, both parties hit it off imdiately and valued this cooperation.

At the sa ti, at the headquarters of Long Yu Corporation, both sides were having a friendly discussion.

Zhao Xuming, Senior Vice-President of Long Yu Corporation, had once been the marketing director of Long Yu Corporation. Due to his outstanding work results, he had been promoted to Vice-President two years ago.

The cooperation between Long Yu Corporation and Dayak Corporation this ti was to set up a special IOI operations cooperation departnt. Zhao Xuming was fully in charge of the operations of IOI and he communicated with Finger Gas.

On the other hand, the representative of Finger Gas was, of course, Chrétien, who had not been in office for long and was trying his best to facilitate this cooperation.

The content of this eting was mainly to discuss the operation strategy of IOI’s local server, as well as matters related to the first world finals of IOI.

Zhao Xuming smiled. “We have been paying attention to the public opinion on the internet. We don’t know much about the public opinion overseas, and we’re not in charge of that. However, I can guarantee that it won’t be a big problem for local players.”

“At the mont, the ones who have the most intense reaction are the veteran gars. According to our survey data, passerby gars are still very responsive to these changes.

“Considering that IOI’s market share is already very low, our main aim must be to pull more new players into the pit. If we only satisfy old players in everything, and there is not enough fresh blood, then old players will slowly disappear.”

“On the other hand, if we serve the new players well, even if the old players curse at us, we would not imdiately lose a large number of players because they are more resistant. When more and more new players appear, the old players would naturally beco ‘hooked’ again.

“Of course, we will definitely consider public opinion as well. At the very least, we will look good. For example, so people suggested giving so compensation to old gars. I think this is a good idea. We should be able to calm public opinion by developing a special skin or commorative portrait for old gars.”

Chrétien nodded. “Yes, we believe in the capabilities of Boss Zhao and Long Yu Corporation. We can also fully cooperate in developing the skin. Then, what does Boss Zhao plan to do about the world finals?”

Zhao Xuming smiled. “That’s easy. GOG’s international invitational tournant was held two months earlier than ours. We have already taken the initiative and we have an advantage: we can fully absorb their experience.”

“In terms of the prize pool, we have to offer more than them. This is a matter of pride. What’s more, it’s not bad to use the championship skin as a bonus. We can use it to learn from them. What’s more, our skins are more expensive, the prize pool would definitely look better.”

Chrétien nodded. “Yes, that’s what we thought as well. We don’t have to worry about money.”

“We were a little tight on cash flow before, but it has eased a lot now. What’s more, both our companies are funding it together this ti. In terms of resources, there’s no reason for us to spend less than Tengda.”

“However, what we’re worried about now is the problem with the participating teams.”

Chrétien added after a slight pause, “There will definitely be no problems in the European and Arican regions.”

Zhao Xuming imdiately understood what he ant.

That ant that local clubs and IOI teams were the problematic ones!

That was indeed the case. IOI’s market share in the country had been severely squeezed, and there was a lack of base. A while ago, many IOI branch mbers had been transferred to GOG. Thus, even if the global finals were held, it was still a question of whether there would be enough local teams to participate.

Zhao Xuming quickly said, “Yes, that’s what we’re worried about too.”

“However, according to our investigation, the situation is quite optimistic.”

“Eric had previously provided various clubs with a certain amount of subsidies to promote IOI, so so clubs still kept their IOI branches.”

“What’s more, many of the original IOI players did not integrate well after they changed to GOG. Many of them still wanted to play IOI.”

“These people won’t be able to play as the main force in GOG’s first-tier team. They won’t have many chances to play. If they could play IOI’s finals, they would be very happy.”

“I’ve already arranged my schedule to contact the local clubs in the next two days. There should be no problems with the team.”

“I just hope that the competition can be taken care of. I’ll try my best to arrange so weaker opponents for these teams during the group stages. Otherwise, the situation might look bad.”

Chrétien nodded. “That’s not a problem. However, the performance of these teams cannot be too bad. Otherwise, it would be useless to split them up.”

Zhao Xuming smiled. “Of course! I’ve already sent people to investigate and found so good seedlings. We’ll definitely be able to pull out a few teams with decent strength!”
