Chapter 1462: Win Lying Down But Not Lazy!

As an experienced operator, Jin Yong knew how to observe the various data of the game very well. He also formulated the corresponding operating strategy for the KPI set by various leaders. He very cleverly sold various products to players in the ‘most cost-effective’ way.

According to the traditional operating strategy, the skills of operations were a little like pulling out wool, pulling out the most wool while listening to the least fleece.

However… Tengda’s request seemed to be unreasonable?

Of course, Jin Yong knew that GOG only did that. The skin was cheap and there were flowery discounts. However, the problem was that Bullet Hole 2’s situation was more special. Could it be compared to GOG?

At that time, GOG had a strong competitor, IOI. In order to maximize market share, GOG’s player base had been counted. It was large enough, so it could seize the market with minimal profits and quick turnover.

However, what about Bullet Hole 2? It could not have defeated Ocean Stronghold like GOG did with IOI. What’s more, Ocean Stronghold had already nurtured players’ purchasing habits. The players of FPS games liked the epic weapon that was 888 yuan. Even if Bullet Hole 2 priced the skin slightly higher, it would not easily arouse everyone’s disgust.

On the other hand, if the price was set low, it would be difficult to cover the development cost if Bullet Hole 2 did not manage to grab a large number of players.

Jin Yong suddenly understood why Boss Kang did not tell him about this early in the morning. Instead, he suddenly transferred him over when Bullet Hole 2 was about to be officially operating.

Obviously, the higher-ups were worried about Tengda’s marketing plan!

He had not intended to let Jin Yong come at first, but everyone could not handle it. They had no choice but to transfer Jin Yong over.

Of course, they did not think that Jin Yong could settle it. Instead, they thought that Jin Yong could ask Zhao Xuming, who was already far away in Tengda. After all, they had a good relationship.

Jin Yong was a little helpless and could only call Zhao Xuming.

“Hello? Boss Zhao, long time no see, hahaha. I heard that Tengda is on holiday?”

“Hehe, I’m sorry to disturb you. It’s like this. I’ve just been transferred to the operations team of Bullet Hole 2 recently. I have a question to ask…”

They were old acquaintances after all. What’s more, Bullet Hole 2 was in a partnership with Tengda. Thus, Jin Yong did not beat around the bush and directly voiced his doubts.

In fact, his confusion was very simple. There were only two: Why was Tengda’s operation plan for Bullet Hole 2 so simple? How should he cooperate?

Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment on the other end of the line before asking, “Isn’t that very clear? Just do as I say.”

Jin Yong: “Huh? We’ll do it completely? However, the situation of Bullet Hole 2 is different from GOG, right? We might not be able to follow GOG’s method, right? No matter how I look at it, this operating event is too simple. It doesn’t seem to have any technical content…”

Zhao Xuming asked, “Do you want a really useful operating plan or a very complicated plan that makes people feel that you, the person-in-charge of operations, are playing an important role?”

Jin Yong was speechless. “Ah, this…”

Zhao Xuming’s words stumped him.

This principle was actually very simple: If you were the client, the freelancer would have already given a very outstanding work that completely met the client’s requirements. However, if you did not raise any opinions at all, accept this work and transfer money, the leader would probably think that you were completely useless in this process. However, if you forcefully raised some amendment opinions in order to make yourself look like you had done something, it might cause the freelancer to change this work even worse, and even have to “use the first version” in the end.

How should the client choose?

Jin Yong hesitated for a moment and said, “But Boss Zhao, that’s not quite the same, right? The plan for Bullet Hole 2 is…”

“It…”

He could not come to a conclusion after stammering for half a day.

Zhao Xuming smiled. “Are you saying that this plan is too simple? Then here comes the problem. The more complicated the plan, the more effective it will be?”

“If you operate as an operation and always think that a complicated plan must be more effective than a simple plan, you have to modify the simple plan into a complicated plan. However, you don’t analyze the real reason behind it and don’t analyze the specific situation of the project. Then, your personal position might still rise step by step. However, can such an operation bring out a real explosive game?”

“You’re basically asking: I’m on the right path now. What should I do to show that I’m working in this process?”

“My answer is to do nothing! Since it’s the right path, continue walking. When it really becomes a problem, think of a solution.”

“This is what I learned after coming to Tengda: Not doing anything is not a crime. The key is to see the situation clearly and only do it when it is confirmed. As long as you walk the right path, not doing anything is the best solution. It is much better than doing something chaotic.”

“Actually, ask yourself. This plan might be simple, but it is the most correct and highest limit plan, right?”

Jin Yong was silent for a moment, obviously in deep thought.

A moment later, he asked uncertainly, “But Boss Zhao, why does that sound like encouraging slacking…”

Zhao Xuming was unhappy on the other end of the line. “What do you mean by slacking? Can you not be so narrow in your vision of problems?! Why are you blindly struggling if you can win?”

“Let me ask you, what kind of teammates are the most infuriating in games? Noob teammates, teammates who don’t know how to play are definitely infuriating. However, as long as they have some level of self-awareness, obediently start a team, eat damage, and create a harvester for teammates who know how to play, they can be considered good teammates.”

“The most infuriating thing is that kind of teammates who feel good about themselves. They could have won by lying down and playing, but they insisted on leading the rhythm themselves. In the end, they were caught by the other party and caused a chain reaction. They lost the advantage game alive!”

“Actually, many people in Tengda are in a state of lying down to win. However, they would not cause trouble for Boss Pei in order to find a sense of existence for themselves. Instead, they would quietly enjoy and accumulate strength while lying down to win. That way, when they really need to make a move, they would be able to show their edge and kill him with one blow!”

“Do you understand?”

Jin Yong suddenly felt a little ashamed after being taught a lesson by Zhao Xuming.

Indeed, what Boss Zhao said made sense. He was stupid!

Jin Yong reflected on it. He had been in Long Yu Corporation for a long time. He had indeed naturally been contaminated by this’ messy behavior and making his presence known ‘bad. From the perspective of promotion alone, this might be a good thing. However, from the perspective of the entire project and even the entire company’s overall benefits, it would play a certain destructive role.

On the other hand, Boss Zhao had the idea of ‘self-preservation’. He would be like a fish in water in Tengda!

Not only did he have a summary of the previous operating strategy, but he also had a brand new understanding!

Since Tengda’s operating thinking was ahead of Long Yu Corporation’s, and its view of the problem had reached a brand new height and level, it was indeed the best solution to fully accept it.

At that thought, Jin Yong nodded. “I understand, Boss Zhao! My next task is to strictly abide by this operating plan and not mess around!”

…

February 11th, Chinese New Year holiday, the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Since Pei Qian had nothing to do, he went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to surf the net.

Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Upwind Logistics, and other physical industries had already been opened all over Jingzhou. Pei Qian had specially arranged for many larger shops near his residence and company to prepare for emergencies!

At first, he had thought about opening two more shops in such a remote place. If he opened more shops, there would be fewer people. Then, he would definitely have a place to surf the net. What’s more, he would be able to incur losses. How good would that be?

In the end, he realized that it was quite popular!

There were two Fish-Catching Internet Cafe branches nearby. One was in 1.0 mode, and the other was in 3.0 mode. They were both huge. The second floor of the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe in 1.0 mode had also been changed to the VR gaming area. It was the same as other Fish-Catching Internet Cafe branches. However, even so, there were many people in these two branches!

Since when did it become the peak season for internet cafes and cinemas during the new year?

Pei Qian opened GOG and played two happy rounds with Happy Ruan. Then, he was killed 0-10.

It was not that he was lousy and could not beat Ma Yang. The main reason was that he had the title of ‘Designer of Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan’ on his head…

However, it did not matter. Death was not the endpoint. As long as he was happy, that was enough.

After switching off GOG, Pei Qian protected the disadvantaged and opened IOI as if he was taking care of his own son.

“Eh? IOI is also having a new spring event. Not bad!”

“Very motivated and energetic!”

“Humans have to maintain this fighting spirit in the face of adversity. They have to remain motivated to have the possibility of turning the tables against the wind.”

“I told you that IOI is my biological son. Leave it to me. How is it like GOG, this unfilial son? I’m so pissed off!”

Pei Qian opened IOI’s update announcement and checked the content.
