Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261 - Boss Pei’s Game Design Method

Eric continued, “My understanding is that this advantage is mainly in two aspects.”

“First, we know IOI’s internal operations very well. We are very familiar with Dayak Corporation and Finger Games’ behavior patterns. Therefore, we can predict IOI’s movements when we encounter some activities.”

“Of course, Boss Pei can do that as well. However, Boss Pei is very busy after all. He can’t keep watching IOI’s movements.”

“We understand both IOI and GOG very well at the same time. Therefore, when the two games are competing, we can specially target the other party’s weaknesses and continue to maintain GOG’s complete suppression of IOI. We can even expand!”

“Second, we have more experience in coordinating large teams.”

“At the moment, GOG’s entire project team is basically still in the initial stage. The person-in-charge has absolute control.”

“The advantage of this model is that it is efficient and quick to react. It is easier to win in intense competition.”

“However, the downside of it is that as the business extends and the number of people increases, the workload of the person-in-charge will continue to accumulate. Under huge work pressure, it will be difficult for him to deal with problems in all aspects. It will be easy for him to make mistakes.”

“In the future, if GOG defeats IOI and becomes the only winner in MOBA games, the entire GOG project team will definitely continue to grow and have more people.”

“Under such circumstances, the original efficient model would no longer be adaptable. We still have to slow down the pace and inevitably move towards the institutionalization model of large companies.”

“Then, we can use our own experience to combine GOG’s previous working model and gradually develop a new model that combines efficiency and institutionalization to better adapt to the work requirements of the new period!”

“That’s why Boss Pei wanted to poach both of us!

Eric’s analysis was very one-sided. What’s more, combined with Boss Pei’s previous actions, it was quite convincing.

Zhao Xuming nodded in realization.

Indeed!

He felt that he could not compare to Min Jingchao in any aspect but his understanding of IOI was much better than Min Jingchao!

After all, Min Jingchao’s main focus was on GOG. There was no need for him to study in-depth into IOI.

Who would be more suitable than Zhao Xuming and Eric, the former IOI operators, if they wanted to attack IOI any further?

The reason why so many monarchs in history attached so much importance to rebels was because they understood their enemies very well and could provide very useful information.

Eric and Zhao Xuming could be more ruthless than Min Jingchao in dealing with IOI!

What? Have mercy on your old boss?

That was impossible. He had to be ruthless because of his old employer!

Otherwise, wouldn’t it prove that the previous failures were not his old employer’s fault but his own?

What’s more, in the long term, he would have to integrate two different management models.

In other words, conquering and defending were different. One emphasized on attacking, while the other emphasized on defending.

On the eve of victory, he would transfer Min Jingchao, who could fight well, away and continue on the new journey. Then, he would replace Eric and Zhao Xuming, who were relatively good at managing, and prepare for the next great unification.

Eric continued, “Therefore, there is a reasonable explanation for the hasty handover.”

“Boss Pei’s attitude is actually hinting to us not to completely follow Min Jingchao’s work model. We have to understand the previous work model more and integrate it. We cannot completely inherit it rigidly.”

“If the handover takes too long, such as half a year, our thinking patterns would definitely be changed. It would be difficult to change back.”

“The handover time now looks very short. In fact, we can ask the other people in the project team at any time when we encounter problems. What’s more, we won’t limit our thinking. It’s completely just right.”

Zhao Xuming nodded in realization. He was no longer flustered.

He was completely relieved after hearing Eric speak so logically. What’s more, he had found a way to push the blame.

One of them was in charge of overseas business while the other was in charge of domestic business. However, Zhao Xuming could completely copy and stick to them!

Zhao Xuming would do whatever Eric did then.

This was definitely not plagiarism. This was a combined event, this was treating everyone equally, this was a game of chess.

In any case, Eric would definitely hurt IOI internationally. Zhao Xuming would copy his homework. Given GOG’s current dominance in the country, the effect would definitely not be bad.

He would normally give suggestions for Eric to adopt. One would come up with ideas and the other would make the final decision. How perfect would that be?

Alright, the feeling of a golden partnership was back!

Zhao Xuming was very happy. “Alright, we’ll start preparing for the event now. 1024 Digital Day is almost here. We have to organize a huge event to snatch a group of players!”

They had to let Boss Pei see that there was a huge value in spending so much effort to poach the two of us!

At the same time, Pei Qian and Min Jingchao were already on the plane to Guangzhou.

He had to get Sun Strike Studios a new game!

In fact, Long Yu Corporation and Sun Strike Studios did not rush him. They only hoped that Boss Pei would make time to go over as soon as possible without limiting the time.

The main reason was that they did not dare to rush him.

Game design was a purely creative thing. Sometimes, the overall design was quite good, but a small flaw could destroy the entire plan.

If he made Boss Pei unhappy, what if Boss Pei deliberately left a pit in the design plan?

Even though everyone felt that Boss Pei was not someone without morals, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Thus, they had to be polite and work on the game together to earn money.

Of course, they were overthinking.

That was because Pei Qian himself could not predict what the game he designed would become.

He knew this very well.

It could succeed even if the design was bad, it could fail even if the design was good, vice versa.

Since the design was completely unrelated to the final outcome… it was meaningless for Pei Qian to secretly play tricks. This was completely up to fate.

Pei Qian’s idea was that since everyone had reached an agreement, he would design it according to the normal process in Tengda.

Whether the game would make money or not depended on their character.

You would be lucky to make money. Don’t blame me if you can’t make money. I’ve tried my best.

Thus, the earlier he went, the earlier he would return.

Min Jingchao showed no complaints about him no longer being in charge of GOG.

He was indeed a little surprised at the beginning, but he had figured it out over the past two days.

If it was any other company, based on his results at GOG, he would probably have continued working for a lifetime.

However, Tengda was no ordinary company.

Anyone who made a career in their own position would be transferred to other places by Boss Pei.

That was because the training obtained from the same position was repetitive. The people in charge kept doing repetitive and similar work. They did not improve much.

While this could allow various projects to develop steadily, it was ultimately a waste of talent.

In the later stages, the person-in-charge’s business ability would not improve anymore. It would only improve his management ability.

However, it was obvious that not all people in charge needed such strong management ability. Not all people in charge were good at management.

Boss Pei obviously wanted to nurture the people in charge into polymaths so that Min Jingchao could continue on the path of designers and not frame himself to death in GOG.

After poaching Eric and Zhao Xuming, GOG’s work was handed over. Min Jingchao naturally had to face a greater challenge.

This time, Min Jingchao heard from Boss Pei that he was going to help Sun Strike Studios in Guangzhou design a game.

He was both expectant and nervous about this.

Boss Pei seemed to want to nurture every core member of Tengda Games into a gold medal designer, but Min Jingchao only had relevant work experience with GOG after all. He had not really led the development of games.

The good thing was that he was an old employee. He also dealt with Hu Xianbin every day. He was very clear about how to perfect Boss Pei’s creativity and how to analyze Boss Pei’s design intentions. Thus, this job should not be too difficult.

However, how was Sun Strike Studios doing? Could they cooperate with him?

That was a question as well.

The seats in the business class could be laid flat and were very comfortable. Min Jingchao wanted to ask Boss Pei about his work after Sun Strike Studios since he had nothing to do.

What game should he create? Did Boss Pei have any special requests for him? What should he do if something unexpected happened?

After all, Boss Pei would be returning to Jingzhou after finalizing the game plan there. He would have to stay in Guangzhou for a few months and only return after the game was developed.

It was best to ask many things in advance. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome to call and ask later.

“Boss Pei, how is my main job over there? Also, the working time and overall development process… should we base it on Sun Strike Studios’ situation or on ours?”

“How much work should be done by them?”

It was not that Min Jingchao wanted to be lazy, but he had to understand the importance of this project.

If Boss Pei took a liking to it, it would be a very strategic action. He would definitely do his best and try to make it as perfect as possible.

If something went wrong with Sun Strike Studios, he had to think of a way to resolve it.

However, if this was not important, or if Boss Pei did not intend to make the game too profitable, Min Jingchao would not have to spend so much effort. He would just have to do his job. Whether the game succeeded or not was not up to him.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “Yes… of course, we’ll follow Tengda’s pace.”

“Do the same as you would have done here. If you run into any problems, look for Zhou Muyan and ask his subordinates to cooperate with you unconditionally.”

“Of course, we have to be like Tengda when it comes to holidays and rest. Don’t tire yourself out.”

To Pei Qian, this was an experiment. Of course, he had to follow Tengda’s plan.

If they were to pull a fast one and develop half of the game in Tengda’s way and half of it in Sun Strike Studios’ way, the final outcome would be meaningless!

That was because he could not tell why he had succeeded or why he had failed.

What’s more, Pei Qian only wanted to fulfill his promise. Whether he succeeded or not depended on fate. Thus, he would not give Min Jingchao any hard requests.

He could not cripple the lazy spirit that he had worked so hard to cultivate just because of this ‘poverty alleviation’.

What if Min Jingchao returned from working overtime and became a hard worker? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

He was already so dangerous even in his lazy state. Wouldn’t it be even more impossible to clean up if he became a hardworking person?

Therefore, the process should be the same. There was no need to change it since it could not be changed.

Min Jingchao nodded slightly, expressing that he understood.

In any case, it was equivalent to Tengda opening a new department and recruiting a new group of people for development!

The only thing he had to take note of was to ensure that he had complete control over the entire project. He had to ensure that everyone would unconditionally cooperate with him. If there were any who did not cooperate, he would just give Zhou Muyan a call to get rid of him.

What was there to be afraid of with Boss Pei backing him up?
