Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1182: Bugs Don’t Work During The Weekend?

“This…”

Meng Chang was very surprised to see the netizens’ comments.

There weren’t as many people scolding him as he had imagined.

The people who left comments below were obviously divided into two factions. Some people said that they did not believe that Meng Chang would do anything humane and continued to criticize him like before. However, compared to the previous Weibo post, there were much fewer people criticizing him.

Others began to speak up for Meng Chang!

Obviously, the publicity plan for Doubt VR glasses was a huge success. The final twist made many people change their stereotypes of Meng Chang and think that he might have turned over a new leaf.

After all, he did not commit a heinous crime. If he really turned over a new leaf and contributed to society, they could consider forgiving him.

Of course, whether he forgave them or not depended on their contributions.

These people were still in the minority in terms of numbers, but at the very least, such voices already existed and could be heard.

That made Meng Chang very disappointed.

He even had the illusion that he had bought fake reviewers.

He was not a masochist, and he did not want his reputation to completely stink. However, everything could be sacrificed in the face of commission!

He would rather everyone despise him for the sake of commission. The more they despised him, the higher the chances of him getting a commission.

“Forget it. Fortunately, the mainstream voices are still scolding me. That’s enough.”

“I’ve achieved my basic goal. I should focus on the follow-up operations.”

Meng Chang did not pay attention to Weibo anymore. Instead, he clicked on the video in his collection and watched Teacher Qiao’s videos again.

It was mainly to learn the concept of ‘performance art-style marketing’ and ‘breaking the dimensional wall’ in these videos!

Meng Chang had a rough idea of the publicity plan this time but he felt that there was still a very important point missing in the entire plan!

What was the selling point?

According to Meng Chang’s own summary, the basic process of the “Pei Family Publicity Law” was “rise”, “suppress”, “rise”. There was a corresponding method to support every step. However, the most important part of this was the core. It was the key step between “suppression” and “rise”.

How could he reverse everyone’s understanding?

It required a very convincing concept as support.

The concept of ‘performance art-style marketing’ and ‘breaking the dimensional wall’ that Teacher Qiao summarized in the video was very convincing.

Once these two concepts were used, the tables were turned.

On the other hand, Meng Chang had to find a unique concept on Dawn Games’ platform. He had to use it to turn the tables.

This was the last and most difficult step.

Meng Chang firmly believed that this unique concept must exist even though he could not figure it out after thinking for a long time.

The reason was simple.

Since Boss Pei had given him this task, he would definitely be able to use the Pei Family’s publicity method to complete it!

This was just like the after-school exercise set up by the teacher after the teacher finished his routine questions. It must be related to the content of the explanation, right?

He could not possibly leave a calculus assignment after the lesson after he talked about adding and subtracting within ten points, right?

Therefore, the standard answer was there. The question was whether Meng Chang could find it.

Meng Chang frowned and fell into deep thought.

…

…

August 13th, Monday…

The testing team of the Blade of the Empire was busy on the same floor as Dawn games platform.

Yan Qi was there as well. He watched the test for bugs the entire time and worked on editing them in case anyone was lazy.

“This is strange. I worked overtime over the weekend for two days. I played the game many times. My hands are sore. I only found five or six bugs. What’s more, they were very simple to fix. Why did I find five bugs after only half an hour of testing this morning?”

“It’s indeed quite strange. Could it be that the bug is also resting on weekends? It’s not working?”

“Holy sh*t, don’t say that. That would make us suffer even more. Our lives are worse than bugs…”

“Sigh, it’s alright to work overtime now. Once the bugs in the game are fixed, we can have a good rest!”

“Boss Yan, it’s a good thing that you’re here this weekend. Otherwise, you would definitely think that we’re slacking. By then, we wouldn’t be able to clear our names!”

The test team chatted as they measured bugs.

Since it was almost time for the game to be released and there were too many bugs, Yan Qi requested everyone to work overtime during the weekend. They would continue to look for bugs for the test and develop new bugs.

After all, it had not been easy for him to find a valuable place with such high efficiency in finding bugs. He should race against time and make full use of it.

However, what was unexpected was that the efficiency of looking for bugs over the weekend suddenly became the same as before!

Sunday afternoon was a holiday. It was a little ridiculous to find five or six bugs in a day and a half.

Some people naively thought that they had found all the bugs.

In the end, he was slapped in the face when he went to work on Monday.

After a little test, bugs appeared again!

It was a good thing that Yan Qi was a boss who set an example. He had also come to work overtime with everyone over the weekend.

Otherwise, the test team would probably not be able to shake off the blame.

How would he report this to Yan Qi?

They only found five or six bugs in a day and a half over the weekend. Yet, they found so many in less than an hour on Monday?

Obviously, he had gone overboard in slacking during the weekend!

What’s more, all the employees in the testing department were slacking.

The good thing was that Yan Qi had also worked overtime over the weekend. He had witnessed the entire bizarre process. Only then could the testing team wash away their wrongs.

Yan Qi was also very puzzled. Do even bugs take the weekend off?

You even chose the time to visit me?

That did not make sense!

However, on further thought, he had actually given up science and lowered his head to metaphysics the moment he decided to move the testing team into this building.

Since he had chosen metaphysics, it did not seem that unacceptable for him to not work on weekends.

After all, the only rule of metaphysics was that there was no specific rule.

“Everyone, work hard. We’ll only work for half a day this weekend. If we still can’t find any bugs after Saturday morning, we’ll rest for the weekend,” Yan Qi said.

The game had already been developed. There were only bugs left. Working overtime was also to rush the development process.

What was the point of working overtime if no bugs could be found? They might as well take a break.

Everyone immediately shouted, “Boss Yan is awesome!”

It might be a small company that did not make very good games and could not avoid overtime like other games companies in the industry but most employees still thought that Yan Qi was a good boss.

He could not compare to Tengda’s Boss Pei, but compared to the other bosses of mobile games companies, Yan Qi still had a conscience.

Yan Qi felt much more at ease seeing that the testing team had found more bugs.

He was still worried over the weekend. What if it was really metaphysics and would not work this week? What would he do then?

Wouldn’t it be a waste of money to rent these work desks?

Now that the bug had appeared again, he could finally relax.

Yan Qi continued with his work.

Last weekend, when he had worked overtime, he had learned about recent hot topics. There was still a lot of information worth paying attention to.

First, he had to start advertising on Dawn Games!

The entire publicity plan looked relatively conservative. It was mainly online advertisements and video advertisements. Sporadic offline advertisements were used as support. It looked like the battle formation was not small. It probably cost a lot of money.

Logically speaking, Yan Qi should be happy. After all, the more advertisements they advertised on Dawn Games, the more players they would attract. The more they were released on the platform, the more money they would earn.

However, the problem was that Yan Qi realized that the actual conversion rate of these advertisements seemed to be very low!

Until now, Dawn Games platform had not even produced a software for the gaming platform, much less a game.

Even if players clicked on these advertisements, they could only jump to the official webpage of Dawn Games. They could not play the game at all.

How could he talk about the conversion rate?

Dawn Games could use Tengda’s account to log in but there were many applications that could use Tengda’s account to log in.

All the companies that Dream Realization Ventures had invested in basically supported using Tengda accounts to log in. Many companies that were not related to Tengda could also use Tengda accounts to log in.

This was a slight advantage, but it did not have much of a decisive effect.

After all, the most important factor was how many good games there were on the platform.

However, no matter what, it was better to spend money on publicity than not.

The efficiency of spending this money was very low, but at least he had a familiar face. He sent a message to all players and game developers: We might be a new platform, but we are still relatively rich. We welcome everyone to cooperate.

Yan Qi was still hoping to cozy up to the Dawn Games platform. Under such circumstances, he could not say much. He could not possibly teach them how to do publicity, right?

He could only wait and see.

Secondly, Upwind Logistics could send parcels.

Yan Qi lived in Jingzhou and inevitably interacted with Upwind Logistics. Such information could be understood through a flyer.

According to Upwind Logistics’ official publicity, all cross-regional transports were air transport. The advantage of this was that it was fast. The disadvantage was that it was limited to certain areas. What’s more, the goods delivered were limited and the price was relatively high.

For the time being, Yan Qi did not have much use for express delivery. Thus, he did not take this matter to heart and only briefly understood it.

Lastly, there was something else. He heard that Eternal Reincarnation had officially started research and development!

Yan Qi was an ARPG mobile game. He had played many action games because of his job requirement.

Repent and be Saved naturally would not miss it.

He had always thought that Repent and be Saved was the best action game in the country. Naturally, he was looking forward to the appearance of the new downloadable content.

He was quite excited when he heard about Eternal Reincarnation previously. In the end, the official platform clarified that Eternal Reincarnation only officially began research and development in August.

That made Yan Qi a little disappointed. After all, the research and development would only be completed in August. At the usual rate, it would only be completed by the end of the year or even next year.

However, it was better to have news than not. They had waited for more than a year for this large downloadable content. Why would they care about waiting for a few more months?

Now, he had to focus on his own project and fix all the bugs.

Yan Qi realized that in the new week, there were obviously more people entering and exiting the games platform. Many of them seemed to be here to discuss cooperation.

The advertisements had been released, and the business side was constantly contacting gaming companies. There must be an endless stream of people coming to discuss cooperation.

“These people wouldn’t encounter a bunch of bugs like us, right?”

For some reason, Yan Qi had a very mystical idea.

However, on further thought, he felt that this was unlikely.

“We’re a startup company. We don’t have much development experience. If there are so many bugs that we haven’t found, it’s probably because we’re not strong enough. If these companies had more experience in development, I don’t think our situation would have happened… right?”

Yan Qi did not think too much about it and continued with his work.
