After writing this beginning, Cui Geng opened the backstage with satisfaction, and then posted it to the end Chinese website.

According to his plan, the whole story is roughly divided into four or five parts, and the opening paragraph is just an introduction, and then it is necessary to officially enter the official content of the first part.

In fact, Cui Geng can choose to bury his head in creation, write a hundred thousand words and publish them all at once, but he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to follow his previous writing habits to serialize in real time and write as he goes.

On the one hand, the background calculates the remuneration based on the number of words officially published on the end Chinese website, and on the other hand, because he wants to see the readers' reactions and adjust some details in time.

Of course, Cui Geng is also mentally prepared.

The story of "The Successor" takes place in a foreign context, the protagonist is a rich and handsome, and he is particularly despicable, and the whole story is about a rich second generation born with a golden spoon and extremely inferior means, how he successfully grabbed power through the loopholes of the superhero system and did all the bad things.

This is basically incompatible with the mainstream readers' tastes of current online articles, whether it is the protagonist's origin, personality or the core of the entire story, all of them are minus.

If Cui Geng is allowed to set the subject matter by himself, then he will never dare to write this theme, because writing it is tantamount to suicide.

But now that Mr. Pei buys out according to the number of words, Cui Geng can rest assured and boldly wave. You don't have to be bound by the original rules and regulations, but you can boldly let yourself go.

Although the author's self-indulgence will fall badly most of the time, if all authors are trapped in the rules and regulations forever and dare not try, then how can they write something different?

Cui Geng felt more and more that Mr. Pei's buyout was obviously a hint to these authors who had already figured out the rules of online writing: I will give you a back-up, and you can explore and write better works to your heart's content!

After uploading the beginning, it will take a certain amount of time to review.

Cui Geng silently closed the website and went out for dinner.

Before, it was inspiration, and I was very eager to write what was in my head, so I forgot about hunger for a while. Now that the beginning of the story is written, Cui Geng's pigeon essence has relapsed again, and he suddenly feels hungry.

……

……

Saturday, February 11.

Pei Qian slept again until he woke up naturally, turned over from the bed and sat up, and yawned.

This week, he has assigned work tasks to several departments non-stop, and the working hours are approaching six hours a day, and the work intensity is quite large, so it is natural to take a good rest at the end of the week.

After ordering a fish takeaway, Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and swiped it aimlessly, wanting to see if there was any news recently.

"Huh? Cui Geng opened a new book last night? ”

"There are some other 'inspiration class' authors who have also opened new books?"

"The 'Inspiration Class' has only been running for two days, and these people are starting a new book? Could it be that the 'Inspiration Class' really inspired them? ”

"Don't mess with me!"

Pei Qian instantly became nervous, as if he was facing a great enemy.

The authors of these "inspiration classes" have signed new buyout contracts and want to write customized articles related to Tengda's IP. As a result, the content was conceived in just two days?

Wrong!

Pei Qian hurriedly opened a few new books opened by the authors of the "Inspiration Class" with trepidation.

But after reading the comments in the comment area, I immediately put my mind at ease.

The sound in the comment area is noisy!

The authors of this inspiration class have a variety of new themes, including those who write about Tengda games, those who write hurricane comics, and those who write GOG hero backstories......

But readers are largely unconvinced.

After all, they are all online writers, whether they are writing about immortals, fantasy or cities, they can't jump out of the circle of online articles, and the accumulated experience is all online writing experience.

Now that I have suddenly started writing custom articles, and the speed of updates has also fallen off a cliff, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the original readers.

There are even many readers who feel that they are just bad money, and feel that the buyout plan carried out by the end Chinese network is "self-isolation from the people", and old readers are very disappointed and abandon the book one after another.

Judging from all aspects of data, compared with the data of the author's old books, these new books can be said to have fallen off a cliff.

In comparison, Cui Geng's new book "The Successor" is the least sprayed, judging from the comments, it is basically half and half of the situation: some readers said that this is a new theme, which is eye-catching, and they are looking forward to the follow-up; Another part of the readers expressed that they were not interested in this subject matter and hoped that Cui Geng would continue to write about urban themes.

None of these authors responded in the comment section, and there was probably nothing to respond to. The book has been opened, the beginning has been written, and even if someone doesn't like to read it, they will continue to write it.

Pei Qian couldn't help but feel good.

"I just said that it must be useful to let these online writers write buyouts! Look, the eyes of the masses are bright! ”

According to the current trend, the books written by the authors of these "inspiration classes" will definitely not be read, and they will not be able to bring traffic to the end Chinese network, and Pei Qian is equivalent to posting the manuscript fee in vain.

Of course, according to the regulations, these authors can write a maximum of two books to buy, and if the response is not good, they will have to continue to write and share. But that's okay, after all, the length of these buyout books will not exceed 500,000 words at most, and even if you write two books and 1 million words and then go back and write them, it will not have much impact on the authors.

And all buyout books are free and open to readers, and the interests of authors and readers will not be damaged.

Pei Qian was relieved about the "Inspiration Class" and the end point Chinese network, and put this matter aside for the time being.

He continued to scroll through the latest news on his phone.

"Huh? Eric has finally started to scatter coins! ”

Pei Qian was simply overjoyed.

On the official website of the national service ioi, the update and operation plan of the latest version of ioi has been released, which involves many aspects, but it can be summed up in two words, that is, "scattering coins"!

According to the official website, all heroes of the national server IOI will be free, the basic price of all skins will be reduced to 30% of the original price, and the difference will be calculated according to the heroes and skins that old players have purchased before.

Such a discount can be said to be unprecedented.

And more importantly, this time the discount is not only the IOI national server, the IOI world server has also undergone the same update, and the price of the skin has also plummeted.

Obviously, Eric has also learned from his previous experience.

If you want to fight a price war, you must fight to the end. If you can't reduce the price level of ioi heroes and skins to the same level as GOG all at once, then it is better not to drop it, not only will it not have the effect of grabbing players, but it will also reduce your own income, which is not pleasing to both ends.

After the price reduction, the interests of old players must also be taken care of, and the compensation must be sufficient, otherwise it will accelerate the loss of core players.

After Eric returned and was in charge of the IOI national uniform, he did not make the same mistakes that Zhao Xuming made before.

From the feedback of IOI players on the Internet, it is also clear that the effect of this price war is immediate.

"The IQ of the finger company is finally normal! Finally, there are no more wit-making operations! ”

"Indeed, this discount is decent, and the compensation for old players is also in place.

"However, the price has been reduced at home and abroad, and this discount is ...... I'm afraid that the income of the finger company is going to plummet! ”

"Finger Company: Yes, yes, yes, you have made money, and we are all about to lose money."

"What do you think, how can the finger company lose? Behind them is the Dayak Group, which is very rich. Besides, now burning money is grabbing market share, and small profits can also attract players to buy more skins, which will definitely be earned in the long run. Continuing to maintain the original price is a slow death! ”

This time, all the players of IOI cheered, and many people even felt that the IOI national service should be strong.

In all fairness, the quality of IOI's games is not bad, and the reason why it is far behind GOG is mainly due to the details of the gameplay, pricing strategy, and promotion.

Now, IOI has come to the same level as GOG through a price war, which is indeed a major piece of good news.

Although it is unlikely that old GOG players will switch to IOI because of this, there are still new players in the pit!

At present, the player base of MOBA games is still expanding, and there are many players who have never been exposed to MOBA games at all.

This sum of money is smashed, making the long competition between the two games ioi and GOG full of suspense.

Pei Qian is very happy about this, Eric cooperates well!

The finger company is burning money so desperately, and Tengda has a reason to burn money!

Before, Pei Qian raised ioi's hand, and deliberately dedicated half of the manpower from the foreign game in charge of the GOG international server to update the version of Tengda's old game, which is equivalent to fighting ioi with one hand, for fear that ioi will be killed by accident.

Now, it's finally time to step up!

However, Pei Qian thought about it carefully, and felt that he still couldn't be too excited, and he still had to restrain himself a little, and he couldn't fish with all his might.

The money burned is only a little less than that of IOI, and the publicity is also a little worse than that of IOI. In this way, Eric can always see the hope of turning the tables, so that he and Pei Qian will always be happy.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help humming a little song.

With Eric's help, great things can be done!

……

At the same time, in a tourist city in the United States, it is approaching late at night.

Bao Xu, Ye Zhizhou and others finished visiting another attraction today and have returned to the hotel to prepare for a rest.

The hotel has a sauna, so everyone wraps themselves in towels to steam in the sauna and relieve fatigue before going to sleep.

In the steamy sauna, Bao Xu leaned on the corner of the wall, and the whole person had a loveless expression.

Although sauna can relieve physical fatigue, Bao Xu's mental fatigue is irretrievable.

He is now like the walking dead, completing his itinerary step by step every day, and even saying a word more feels redundant. I just want to go back to Jingzhou immediately and stay at home for a few months.

And Ye Zhizhou and Min Jingchao were chatting.

Ye Zhizhou said: "On the way back, I saw a message that the finger company was finally going to fight a price war with us. All heroes are free, and the price of all skins has been reduced to 30% off......"

Min Jingchao nodded: "Well, I noticed it too." ”

One of these two people is responsible for GOG's R&D and national server operation, and the other is responsible for GOG's overseas server operation, so they pay special attention to similar information, and they know the movements of the finger company at the first time.

Ye Zhizhou was a little worried: "The person who came is not good." ”

"In the short term, the revenue of the finger company will definitely fall. But the finger companies, especially the Dayak Group behind them, have a big business, and some of them have money to burn. ”

"The challenges we faced this time were more severe than the previous ones."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Well, there are still smart people in the finger company." Dayak Group is also worthy of being a super-large multinational group, and it has repeatedly made moves with Mr. Pei, although it has never won, but it is really powerful to persist in making such a strong resistance until now. ”

Since joining Tengda, they have also witnessed many business wars.

Whether it is a game or other fields, Mr. Pei is invincible, and almost all those who dare to go against Mr. Pei end in fiasco.

The difference is that the vast majority of companies have been silent after the fiasco, and they have never posed a threat to Tengda, and only the finger company and Dayak Group have persisted until now.

In this regard, it is indeed more difficult than the enemies encountered before.

Ye Zhizhou said: "This time the finger company started a price war, which is more difficult to deal with than before. ”

"In the past, whether it was digging deep into the gameplay or running the GPL league, Mr. Pei won it by relying on his vision and layout, but when it comes to funds, Tengda does not have an advantage."

"Sure enough, the competition between the two sides is in the white-hot stage, and it is still better than who has more financial resources."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Indeed, for Dayak Group and Finger Company, this should be the last move, they have no better way but to fight a price war with us." ”

"But ......"

"I believe in Mr. Pei. No matter what kind of solution the finger company comes up with, Mr. Pei will definitely have a countermeasure! ”

Ye Zhizhou: "I don't know what kind of countermeasures it will be. ”

Min Jingchao said with emotion: "Mr. Pei acts, how can we guess it?" ”

"However, I believe that the mystery will be revealed soon."

"Our vacation is almost over, pack up our mood, go back and put into work immediately, fully cooperate with Mr. Pei, and fight the last battle with Dayak Group!"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Well, I think so too!" ”

"I can now understand Brother Bao's feelings, I want to come out to play and relax after working for a long time. But if you're out all the time, it's torture. ”

"I've had enough of my time off and I can't wait to get to work right away!"
