Monday, January 24.

Pei Qian came to the company with a black line on his face and entered the office.

Over the weekend, he ran all the 21 shopping malls where the phone booths were located, and his heart was broken.

Among the 21 telephone booths, the one in Huanyu Tianjie is self-made, and the other 20 are all OEM manufacturers.

Now, all the phone booths are painted with GOG's original hero paintings, and they are stuffed with all kinds of things that Pei Qian thinks have nothing to do with the phone booths, such as drink machines, jukeboxes, gacha machines, etc.

A good phone booth has been transformed into a small multi-purpose entertainment room!

Moreover, there are long queues at the door of all the phone booths, and there are even many people who come from far and wide just to take a photo and get a stamp inside!

Pei Qian was very speechless and found Zhang Yu, and before he could question, Zhang Yu had already proudly begun to report the results of the shared phone booth.

The cost of each phone booth is about 10,000 yuan, plus various equipment and AEDs, etc., plus the rent ranging from 500 to 1,000, the initial investment is about 40,000 yuan.

If you count the original painting above, it is 70,000.

Nowadays, the average daily use time of the phone booth is about seven or eight hours.

40 yuan per hour, plus the extra income of equipment such as beverage machines and capsule toy machines, you can earn more than 300 a day, which is 10,000 yuan a month, even if you deduct maintenance costs and other expenses, there is no problem in earning seven or eight thousand a month.

In this way, this phone booth can pay for itself in one year, and it will be a net profit after one year.

At that stage, just the current twenty phone booths can earn Pei Qian hundreds of thousands of dollars every month!

Of course, for Mr. Pei, who has experienced a hundred battles, this mere hundreds of thousands is just an insignificant burden.

And the reason why Pei Qian feels very sad is mainly because of the serious frustration that the project itself has brought him.

"This kind of unreliable project can make money if you invest in it???"

On the spiritual level, Pei Qian was hit a lot harder than the previous money-making projects......

Therefore, until he came to the company this morning, Pei Qian still felt a little in a trance.

"Mr. Pei, GOG is about to officially start testing."

Pei Qian looked at the message on his phone and replied simply, "I know."

After thinking about it, Pei Qian sent a message to Lin Chang and made an appointment to meet at the fishing Internet café near Handong University.

Pei Qian has been busy with the sharing of phone booths this weekend, and the time to meet Lin Chang has been delayed again and again, and he has helplessly delayed it until this morning.

It just so happened that while meeting Lin Chang, I also went to the fishing Internet café to see the real situation of GOG.

The so-called "official start of testing" is to officially release the beta version of the game to the official game platform, so that players can download and experience it freely.

Of course, considering the pressure on the server, there will not be so many test account qualifications in the early stage, and it must be the core players of Tengda games who are more likely to get the qualifications.

Through the trial and feedback of this group of people, we can better find out the bugs and problems in the game and fix them.

The beta version was certainly full of bugs, but players who enjoyed playing the beta version were generally more tolerant and had an early adopter mentality and didn't care so much about bugs.

Pei Qian thinks that the real situation of GOG may not be seen only by online comments, and it is more reliable to go to the fishing Internet café to take a look and visit the site.

……

The end of the author's class, which is commonly known as the "little black house" by readers.

At noon, everyone sat down at the long conference table and chatted while eating.

There are no work on Saturdays and Sundays, and some of these authors are making up for the two days of updates with their previous manuscripts, while others continue to use their laptops in the hotel.

Therefore, Mingyu and Cui Geng, who were named by Mr. Pei, have not seen everyone for three days.

"Hey, Mingyu, Cui Geng, what did you two do on Friday? Let's talk about it. "Someone was interested in where the two of them were going.

Mingyu coughed lightly twice and said in a low voice: "I went to find a high-profile Internet café nearby, secretly coded three chapters in the morning, and then saved it." In the afternoon, I played some games. ”

Someone was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that you don't let code words?" ”

Mingyu smiled: "Yes, but no one cares." I just need to put these three chapters on Saturday and Sunday, who knows? ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, it was really a model worker! was forced to take a holiday, and I didn't forget to secretly save up manuscripts!

Zhu Xing'an is not here, and these authors can speak freely.

Zhu Xing'an was sent by Ma Yiqun to supervise these authors before, but after Mr. Pei came to inspect it once last time, he took Zhu Xing'an away and let these authors manage themselves.

Mingyu looked at Cui Geng again: "Brother Cui, what about you?" Shouldn't you really go to Tengda's spiritual education for a day? ”

Another author answered: "Yes, Brother Cui, is the end announcement angry?" ”

In the eyes of these authors who don't know the truth, Cui Geng's behavior can be said to be very confusing.

I went to Tengda's headquarters on Friday, and issued an end announcement in the evening of the same day, which scared readers enough.

I thought that this book would be cut like this, but on Saturday, Cui Geng updated it again, and updated it with four chapters!

On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday mornings, Cui Geng was still writing this book seriously, and the number of words updated was not at all, and there was no sign of cutting it at all.

This is very confusing.

What really happened on Friday? Cui Geng's book is still not written?

You must know that among all the authors who participated in the study class, Cui Geng's grades are also very high.

For many new authors, five or six thousand works can already be written.

Facing everyone's questions, Cui Geng smiled slightly: "On Friday, I was indeed educated by the spirit of Tengda. It's just not as boring as you think, but in an ingenious form. ”

"You'll find out when you go, it's so interesting this way!"

"As for the book, I did intend to finish it quickly, but that's because ......"

"It dawned on me to finish this book quickly and write a better one!"

Cui Geng's eyes lit up.

During this time, he also kept conceiving the big framework of "Butterfly Game", waiting for the various departments of Tengda to collect enough materials, and he was almost ready to write!

Mingyu was a little curious, he felt that Cui Geng's mental state was different.

The previous Cui Geng's procrastination was serious, a bit salty, and more or less hypocritical.

To be honest, Mingyu has always felt that Cui Geng is a bit of a waste of his talent.

Write casually on five or six thousand orders, not good updates and always cut randomly, if this is written seriously, a day more than six thousand, eight thousand words, this subscription must not break 10,000?

But looking at his expression this time, why does it seem that he wants to change his mind?

Could it be that this Tengda spiritual education is really so successful?

Cui Geng continued: "Moreover, participating in the Tengda spiritual study this time has made me understand a truth, that is, do not resist and reject rest and entertainment, and should use them to better maintain the working state. ”

"The number of words updated should not be the only indicator, but more importantly, the quality of the book should be guaranteed."

"Mingyu boss, haven't you kept asking me how to write to five thousand? I think it's most urgent for you to shorten the word count a little bit and improve the quality even further. ”

Mingyu heard this and thought thoughtfully.

"Hmm...... Sounds reasonable. ”

"Why don't I go a little less today and learn the spirit of Tengda?"

Although he was given a day off, Mingyu was not interested.

As the most motivated writer in the class, he is more concerned with how to write more and better content.

Seeing Cui Geng's new look after a Tengda spiritual study, Mingyu also had the idea of wanting to learn.

Another author said, "Well, I want to go too. ”

"I want to too!"

More than half of the people at the table wanted to see what kind of training method Tengda spiritual training could make the legendary "pigeon spirit" break the demons.

However, so many people want to go, how to arrange it?

Mingyu thought for a while: "In this way, everyone depends on their ability, and they should update as much as they want, and the one with the least update will go." If you have already been there once, you will consciously write more and no longer participate. ”

"If there are many people who break the change, they will all book the lowest one."

Everyone thought about it and thought that this was a good method, and nodded their heads.

Cui Geng didn't have to participate anymore, because he had to reorganize a little in the past two days, leave the study class, and go to various departments of Tengda Group to start a new job (take materials).

……

Fishing Internet Cafe.

Pei Qian arrived before Lin Chang, he didn't sit down to drink coffee, but walked around the Internet area of the Internet café.

The situation is not as rosy as he imagined, but it is still within acceptable conditions, and it is not bad.

In his original vision, GOG should be very popular.

In Internet cafes, GOG will not only face the influence of traditional online games such as Sea Fortress, but also directly compete with similar games such as IOI and Apocalypse.

"Divine Apocalypse" has a large and loyal player base, and IOI is rapidly becoming popular abroad, and the popularity has also been transmitted to China.

Touching fish Internet cafes, like other Internet cafes,Have already helped customers install ioi's international server and Chinese package,Although the delay is slightly higher,But customers of Internet cafes can now play ioi。

Therefore, Pei Qian originally thought that there would not be many people playing GOG.

But when I arrived at the fishing Internet café, I found that there are a lot of people playing GOG, and it has completely formed a three-legged trend with "Apocalypse" and ioi!

Of course, just in terms of graphics and game completion, IOI is still superior.

After walking around, Pei Qian fell into deep thought.

"Hmm...... At the moment, it looks like IOI should be stable. ”

"Because the current IOI of the Internet café is still a foreign server version, the latency is very high, and it is difficult to communicate with teammates in the game because of the language barrier, so there is a natural disadvantage."

"Even so, IOI is more popular in internet cafes than GOG, and there are a bit more people playing."

"If IOI is officially released on the national server and solves the problem of delaying communication with teammates, it will definitely be more popular than GOG, right?"

"So, GOG should still be cool, my judgment should be correct."

Pei Qian thought about it carefully and felt that the current situation was not bad, and it should be said that he could be cautiously optimistic.

Just thinking about it, Lin Chang arrived.

"Mr. Pei, long time no see." Lin Chang smiled.

Pei Qian felt that Lin Chang's smile seemed to have a deep meaning, as if there was something hidden in it.

"Mr. Lin has been busy with work recently?"

Lin Chang smiled: "A little thing, the main thing is matchmaking, it's already busy." ”
