Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1516

Chapter 1516 - Boss Pei Is In Seclusion?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“GOG and IOI are going to merge?”

Zhu Xiaoce was shocked.

Fei Huang Workspace had no business dealings with GOG project team, so he was not well-informed about such things.

Obviously, this was a huge matter!

In fact, many netizens had raised the idea of ‘strong merging’ when GOG and IOI were competing for hegemony. However, this idea was just nonsense that was irresponsible. Industry insiders shook their heads slightly, thinking that it was completely impossible.

The reason was simple, the risk of this thing was far greater than the benefits!

The problem was not whether he could do it or not, but how much he could do and what kind of effect he would have in the end.

In terms of artistic style, the two games’ styles were similar, but there were also differences. How could he ensure that they were more natural and would not be forcefully stitched together?

In terms of technical conditions, the basic structure of the game was different from the hero mechanism. If IOI’s hero was placed in GOG, would the mechanism conflict? Would there be any bizarre bugs?

In terms of game design, there were so many heroes at once. What about balance? How should he modify some incompatible hero mechanisms?

‘There were problems everywhere!

If he wanted to solve these problems, he would have to pay a huge price. Once he did not solve them well, it would severely affect players’ gaming experience.

It could be seen from the discussions of the players online. Some players might be calling Tengda awesome, but they were more worried and apprehensive.

“Merge? There’s no need, right? GOG is playing well. Why should 10!’s rubbish game be combined?”

“F*ck, there aren’t many IOI players to begin with. Are they forcing us to leave?”

“It feels like they want to eat IOI dry. Have they considered our thoughts? Do IOI players not have human rights?”

“They mock and despise each other every day. In the blink of an eye, both houses are going to collapse. They can only hide together to avoid the rain. This…”

Obviously, neither side was satisfied.

‘That was because they despised each other!

To GOG players, IOI was obviously a defeated opponent. It was a scumbag game made by foreigners. Many players had already run away, and the server was almost Ghost. GOG was already quite fun now. Why should they be allowed to enter?

To IOI players, GOG was awesome. If they won, IOI players would only want to play in the circle. Now, they even wanted to dismantle our last harbor? Forcefully integrated into GOG? Wouldn’t it be obvious which one to eat if they were to merge with GOG?

‘That was normal. After all, GOG and IOI’s gamers had mocked each other a lot previously. They felt that they were on the upper level of the chain of contempt. They could not get along well with each other.

Now, they suddenly realized that they were going to become one family?

What the heck!

The key was that there was no choice. If a new game was called 10G or GOI alone and players chose it voluntarily, everyone might not care.

However, forcefully merging without asking for the opinions of any players would naturally cause players to resist.

Zhu Xiaoce looked at Huang Sibo. “This…”

Obviously, this seemed stupid and rash.

However, if Boss Pei was the one who made this decision.

Huang Sibo shook his head. “I don’t know what Boss Pei is thinking either. I can only say… Perhaps Boss Pei is very confident about this merger and is willing to take such a huge risk.”

“On the bright side, if this merger can really succeed and satisfy GOG and IOI players, this new game will completely clear all obstacles and completely eat the entire MOBA game market. It will also prevent future trouble…”

‘The more Huang Sibo spoke, the softer his voice became.

‘That was because he felt that the possibility of this happening was not high. It was a little too idealistic.

“Forget it, Boss Pei and GOG project team will worry about the game.” Zhu Xiaoce did not pay much attention to this matter. He continued to look at another topic in the group of people in charge: Many departments in Tengda have been attacked violently!

Of course, the so-called attack was in business. What’s more, the methods were not very complicated. They were nothing more than price wars, snatching customers, fake reviewers discrediting, business models imitating, and so on.

‘A price war was the best method. After all, most customers were not sensitive to various fancy activities. The only thing that could make most people react strongly was the price factor.

On top of that, it was important to imitate the business model.

That was because many of Tengda’s businesses could succeed because they used this unique business model to have a clear distinction with other similar industries in the market.

‘Thus, many companies wondered if they could copy the business model that Tengda had established in some industries.

For example, some gyms were also planning to launch a “cutting off all means of retreat’. They were mainly working hard in two directions: one was to pay according to the number of times, and the other was to come to the gyms a certain number of times a week. There would be preferential and

discounts on the number of times. That way, the same money could be used to the gyms a few more times.

This model was not exactly the same as Deposit Fitness’ model. That was quite smart. After all, the overall picture would not look good. On the other hand, it would not match the actual situation of these gyms.

‘That was because Deposit Fitness could plan the time of all members and strictly control the number of people in the gym not exceeding the actual load capacity.

However, other gyms did not have such an ability because the traditional gym model was still trying to bluff people into buying cards. It did not consider the actual load of the gym. No matter how many people there were, they would just stuff them in.

It was impossible to copy the entire Deposit Fitness model.

However, through the model of “cutting off all means of retreat”, it had objectively achieved the effect of Deposit Fitness.

Even though piracy would definitely not be able to beat the original version, there was still a price war!

As long as the price seemed more cost-effective than Deposit Fitness, it would always attract some people who were very sensitive to price.

The business model was mainly imitations and price wars. Coupled with methods such as pushing, distributing flyers, snatching customers, fake reviewers discrediting, and so on, it indeed gave Tengda’s industry a lot of impact.

‘What’s more, there was a very important thing: many of Tengda’s businesses were attacked at almost the same time!

If it was just an industry, Tengda could easily deal with it.

If one side was in trouble, all sides would help!

The other industries could revive this suppressed industry with a little linkage. On the other hand, the enemies who took the initiative to start a price war would not be able to take it first.

However, so many departments were facing pressure. It was difficult to spare the energy to take care of the other departments.

News quickly flooded the group chat of the person-in-charge. It looked very chaotic.

It was not that they were helpless. On the contrary, each of them could think of several ways to fight back.

Their problem was that they had methods, resources, and no coordination!

Previously, it was one department that was in trouble and the other departments were helping. Everyone would discuss a little and use this core department as the lead. Soon, a perfect plan would be produced. Everyone would do their own jobs and advance very naturally.

However, now, every department had their own needs. Which demand was priority? Which demand could be pushed back? Which department’s problem should be solved first? Which plan with some conflict should be chosen?

These required higher-level people to plan.

‘Thus, the people in charge expressed their thoughts in the group chat. They argued incessantly over who should go first.

Huang Sibo felt that it was a little strange and asked, “Shouldn’t we let Boss Pei make the decision on this matter? The efficiency is too low if you discuss it like this! You might as well let Boss Pei cut the Gordian knot and give us a time line. Everyone can follow the time line.”

Xiao Peng replied, “Do you think we didn’t look for him? We looked for him immediately! However, we couldn’t find Boss Pei!”

Huang Sibo was stunned. “That’s not right. Boss Pei was still holding a meeting with us last Thursday to arrange for the new game? Why can’t we find him?”

Xiao Peng: “How would I know? The truth is that we can’t find him. We went to Boss Pei’s office this Monday, but Boss Pei was not around.”

“We sent another message to Boss Pei. We couldn’t help but call him, but there was no news.”

“We were very worried and went to ask Assistant Xin. In the end…”

Huang Sibo quickly asked, “What’s the result?”

Xiao Peng paused for a while before replying, looking speechless. “Assistant Xin said that Boss Pei is in seclusion.”

Huang Sibo could not help but feel deep veneration. “Seclusion? Seclusion to find a way out?”

Xiao Peng: “… That’s what I thought at first. However, Assistant Xin said that Boss Pei is writing his graduation thesis in seclusion.”

Huang Sibo looked at the chat on the screen and fell into a long silence.

What the f*ck…?

‘They had just heard that Boss Pei was in seclusion and thought that it was something huge.

Indeed, many things had happened during this period. For example, the merging of GOG and IOI, the construction of a ‘anti-Tengda Alliance’ by many large companies, the details design of games and movies.

Huang Sibo would not find it ridiculous no matter which one Boss Pei went into seclusion for.

However, he was only going into seclusion for the graduation thesis?

What the h*ll was that?!

Boss Pei was so strong that many people subconsciously ignored the fact that he was still a year four student.

However, the problem was that with Boss Pei’s ability, wouldn’t he be able to easily write a graduation thesis?

Was there a need to go into seclusion for such a small matter?

‘What’s more, given Boss Pei’s current identity and status, so what if he dropped out of school directly? Could it be that the boss of such a big company was so concerned about an ordinary undergraduate certificate?

He felt that this matter was strange and ridiculous.

Huang Sibo was speechless. He asked, “Do you know how long Boss Pei will be in seclusion for?”

Xiao Peng: “According to Assistant Xin, he should be in seclusion until the 10th of next month. However… Assistant Xin also said that even if Boss Pei is in seclusion, he should not completely not receive information from the outside world. He just won’t communicate with us frequently.”

“However, we have to prepare for the worst. That is, we cannot get any help from Boss Pei.”
