Chapter 1556 What Is The In-Built Game Of The Gaming Router?

Finger Games publicly announced they would become an independent workspace. They would maintain on a small scale after cutting off all the redundancies of previous employees!

What’s more, after the merger, only 30% of the profits would only be distributed to Finger Games. Finger Games’ employees’ salaries and various other costs would have to be deduced from this 30% before shareholders were able to obtain dividends!

That was even more overboard because Finger Games’ biggest shareholder was Tengda. The dividends were still distributed to him.

Of course, Tengda could distribute it however it wanted. That did not matter. However, the key was that they were only giving Finger Games 30% of the profits. Most of the profits were returned to Tengda. How much profit could there be?

After all, GOG had been a game with cheap skins from the beginning. That was a tradition.

Would Tengda increase the price of skins on a large scale after the two games merged? That might not be the case!

What’s more, at first, no one believed that Tengda was going to play Finger Games to death. They thought that there was a special arrangement for such personnel changes. However, after looking at it for so long, he realized that there were no special arrangements at all. It was as if he did not like Finger Games and wanted to clean up and completely transform Finger Games into an ordinary overseas development project team that was attached to GOG!

That way, everyone’s evaluation of Finger Games’ stock price would naturally drop by a thousand miles.

After all, no matter how much Tengda earned, it had nothing to do with Finger Games!

This situation was a little like a listed games company. There was only one pillar game, and the income of the pillar game was broken. There was also no possibility of making a comeback for a long time.

Under such circumstances, stock prices would definitely plummet.

Finger Games’ share price did not plummet that much, but it was inevitable that it would continue to fall.

Pei Qian only wanted to say: Well done!

He had finally convinced everyone that he was going to mess with Finger Games and stop them from earning money after spending so much effort!

Pei Qian had no choice. Otherwise, what would he do if he were to acquire Finger Games and cause the share price to rise and make a huge profit because of the optimistic capital market?

He had to make Finger Games’ share price fall and make ducks and drakes of the money that Tengda had invested. That was Pei Qian’s final goal.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with Finger Games’ current situation after reading the report. Thus, he replied briefly, praised Eric’s hard work during this period, and asked him to continue maintaining it. He wanted to completely modify Finger Games into an overseas development department attached to the GOG project team. He had just replied Eric when he heard a knock on his office door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw the person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, Old Song.

“Yes, is there a problem with the development of the new product?”

Pei Qian was a little surprised. After all, he had just finalized the new product with Old Song at the end of last month.

It had only been less than a week. Why was he here again? Had Old Song noticed the problem when he designed the two new products too ridiculously?

If that was the case, he would have to use his Great Art of Deceit.

Old Song cleared his throat and said, “Boss Pei, it’s like this. There’s a small flaw in my work. That’s why I came to ask you for guidance today.”

“Last week, you finalized the final form of the two products. However, there is one thing: Does the game router still have to carry a game that is released?”

He could not blame Old Song. After all, he was a product manager and did not know much about the game industry.

At that time, he did not think that there was any problem. However, Old Song realized the problem after chatting with a few people in charge.

As a game console, he had to install a game as a game release as an in-built game!

It was impossible to simply transplant all of Tengda Games after releasing the system units, right? That would be too insincere and would not be able to drive sales.

However, releasing a game was not a small matter. Tengda had so many outstanding games. Which one should he choose?

Boss Pei had to decide.

“That’s true.” Pei Qian nodded and asked, “Do you have any thoughts about this first navigation game?”

Old Song had obviously thought about it briefly. He said, “Boss Pei, I don’t know much about the game industry. I was just offering my suggestions. Please correct me if there are any problems.”

“My thinking for this in-built game lies in two choices. First, we can transplant one from Tengda’s most classic game as an in-built game. For example, we can make a special and remake version of the game ‘Struggle’. We can release it on the router and give it to players for free. This would make the game’s router have a certain collection value.”

“Second, we can choose a new game that has not been released. We can release it as the main computer. For example, Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games are working together to develop the game ‘The Future You Choose’. Is that suitable?”

“It would be even better if it could be used as an exclusive game. Our system units would definitely sell very well!”

Pei Qian did not express his stance immediately because he felt that something was amiss.

When the router was released, it would include all of Tengda’s games along with most of the games on Dawn Games platform that supported the gameplay of the main computer. There was no doubt about that.

Under such circumstances, the success of the game router was actually very risky.

What if another game with a certain amount of monopoly was released?

Old Song’s two methods were very dangerous.

The former was to choose one of Tengda’s classic old games and make a reset commemorative version as the first in-built game. The characteristics of these classic old games were tested by time and were deeply loved by players. They would definitely not fail. It was a very stable choice.

On the other hand, the latter would be using Tengda’s new game, ‘The Future You Choose’, which was the real Triple-A masterpiece, as the first in-built game. What’s more, it would be best to make it exclusive.

Once it became a monopoly, would there be a situation where they would buy the game and give the system unit away? That was very likely!

Therefore, it was best to choose neither method!

Pei Qian shook his head and said, “I don’t think they’re particularly suitable.”

“It would seem too insincere to change the old game into a commemorative version to be the first version of the protective game! Tengda Games has not reached the stage where we have to stir-fry.”

“As for the game ‘The Future You Choose’, even though it itself is enough as the first in-built game, the timing should not be suitable.”

“According to the initial schedule, the router would be released more than two months before the game ‘The Future You Choose’.”

“There’s no point waiting for more than two months to be released.”

“What’s more, our game system has just been released. It’s not appropriate to use important games as monopolies. That would not be friendly to many players who have always supported us.”

“They would think that we are trying to market the system units by force. They would suspect that we are trying to sell them by force.” “I think it’s best for the game ‘The future you choose’ to be on the entire platform. What’s more, there’s no need to affect the release of the game’s router because of this game.”

Old Song was a little confused. “Boss Pei, do you mean that the game router should not have an in-built game? It should just be obtaining the games from Dawn Games platform?”

Pei Qian cleared his throat. “That’s not what I mean either. We’re monopolizing the game. We just have to develop another one.”

“What’s more, since we are monopolizing the game, we should try our best to develop the characteristics of the game road machine so that the soft hardware can be truly matched. That would be most sincere to the players.”

Old Song was stunned for a moment. “Develop another game? But as far as I know, all of Tengda’s gaming departments already have projects, right? We don’t have any more research and development power. Do we really have the energy and manpower to develop a new monopoly game?”

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. That seemed to be the case.

Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, Slow Movement Studio… At the moment, all the games departments that were directly related to Tengda Corporation had their own game development missions. He could not possibly ask them to temporarily set aside their projects to develop the game machine’s exclusive game, right?

However, this was not a problem for Pei Qian. He had an idea.

“Who said that we don’t have any more research and development capabilities?”

“There’s a department you forgot.”

“Destitution Plan and independent game incubation base!”

“How can you say that we don’t have any additional research and development power with so many producers? We obviously have enough research and development power!”

Old Song was completely shocked. His eyes widened slightly, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He had not expected Boss Pei to include the independent game designers in the independent game incubation base into Tengda’s research and development capabilities.

However, even a layman like him knew that this was not the same thing!

What the game’s router needed now was a large-scale 3A game to protect it. The so-called 3A game must have required many people to work together and create it. Not only did it need a strong chief designer as a leader, but it also needed a mature design team as support. There were indeed no lack of outstanding producers in the independent game incubation base. They had ideas and abilities. However, there was a huge difference in the production process of independent games and 3A games after all.

For example, if independent game designers were special forces and were more suitable to carry out special missions with groups as units, then the 3A masterpiece production team was like a regular army that had to fight a large-scale army battle.

Would gathering all the special forces be able to achieve the same effect as the regular army? That was definitely not the case. These independent game designers might be very good at designing games, but they had their own ideas. How could they be integrated together? This looked like an impossible task.

Let’s not even talk about developing a 3A masterpiece that could protect the game’s road mechanism. It was hard to say if this game would be successful.

Old Song persuaded him. “Boss Pei, why don’t you think about it again? I think it doesn’t matter if this system unit is released two months earlier or two months later. Let’s wait for the game ‘The Future’ that you chose. Even if it can’t be used as a monopoly game, it at least has enough weight. It’s not easy for something to happen.”

Pei Qian sniggered. “Don’t worry about this. Get Qiu Hong to do it.”

Pei Qian could not be bothered to argue with Old Song. Old Song would not understand anyway.

He should hand this matter to Qiu Hong. Qiu Hong was a game designer after all. He should be able to imagine Boss Pei’s intentions and successfully develop this game. What’s more, the matter of the independent game incubation base had been exposed. There was no need to hide it.

Of course, it was hard to say what kind of state the game would be in once it was developed.

It might be a deformed product stitched together by many producers. However, that was exactly what Pei Qian wanted. He did not want the first in-built game of the game’s router machine to be too outstanding. Otherwise, wouldn’t it definitely become popular?

Even if the game router were to become popular, Pei Qian did not want it to become popular within this cycle. It would be best if he waited until this year was over.

In any case, Pei Qian would have made a huge profit by then. He would not care so much about these things anymore.

Old Song wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll discuss it with Qiu Hong now.”
