Chapter 1460: Bullet Hole 2’s Operational Strategy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That night, Long Yu Corporation.

Jin Yong came to the door of the Management Director’s office and knocked lightly.

“Boss Kang, are you looking for me?” Jin Yong was very cautious and did not dare to be negligent.

The Management Director of Long Yu Corporation was the senior Vice-President of the HR and administrative department. He directly managed the appointment and promotion of all the heads of the company. He reported directly to the boss. He was definitely in a high position and most of his words often represented the boss’ meaning.

Previously, the upper echelons had discussed and allowed Boss Kang to handle the matter of Zhao Xuming being poached by Tengda.

Jin Yong replaced the position that Zhao Xuming had left behind. In terms of work and experience, he was lower than Boss Kang. Naturally, he had to be more polite.

“You’re here? Quick, take a seat.”

Boss Kang invited Jin Yong to sit on the sofa at the side and asked, “How are things going with IOI?”

Jin Yong was a little puzzled. Why was Boss Kang asking about this?

However, he still answered truthfully. “Everything is going quite smoothly. FV Team’s champion skin has been created. I took a look and saw that the quality is excellent. What’s more, FV Team’s players are very satisfied. They will be updated with our Chinese New Year version according to the original plan.”

Boss Kang nodded slightly. “Yes, then you shouldn’t have much work to do next, right?”

Jin Yong was a little confused. “Er… that’s right. Finger Games hasn’t had any work arrangements recently. The notice that the company gave our project team… is also on holiday normally?”

To be precise, everyone else in IOI’s operations and cooperation department had already left. Some of them were trains tomorrow, while others had already left this afternoon. Of course, Chrétien had no reason to stay. He had already taken a plane and left on holiday.

Only Jin Yong was called over by Boss Kang.

Boss Kang smiled. “To tell you the truth, the operations team of Bullet Hole 2 has been assigned. All the preparatory work has been completed. We’re just lacking a person-in-charge.”

“The company’s leaders have discussed briefly. You’re the most suitable person to take over this position.”

“As for IOI’s operations and cooperation department, we are already prepared to replace your candidates. You don’t have to worry about them.”

Jin Yong was stunned. “Huh?”

He already knew that Long Yu Corporation was forming the operations team for Bullet Hole 2. He also knew that this game was being developed and might be released before Chinese New Year. However, he did not expect himself to be the person-in-charge of the operations team!

After all, Jin Yong was still the person-in-charge of IOI’s operations and cooperation department. He had done well. He had not made any mistakes. How could he change just like that?

What’s more, the person who replaced him was someone whose ability and position were not as good as his.

Unless…

The upper echelons of the company had a clear tendency?

Boss Kang smiled. “This is no secret. There’s no need to hide it from you. The company now values Bullet Hole 2 more than IOI. We will pay close attention to the data of the two games during this Chinese New Year period. After all, the company’s publicity resources are limited. We cannot waste them on unimportant projects.”

Jin Yong could not help but be shocked.

What do you mean by ‘unimportant project’?

Which project was not profitable and was not popular enough was insignificant!

Obviously, Long Yu Corporation had tolerated IOI for a long time.

Long Yu Corporation had spent a lot of money on publicity resources on this project ever since they had spent a lot of effort to obtain IOI’s operating rights from Finger Games. However, the benefits were not high. It had not reached the initial expectations of the upper echelons.

Previously, Long Yu Corporation did not have any good projects on hand. Even though they knew that IOI was not good, they could only pinch their noses and push its resources.

After all, no matter how bad IOI was, it was more influential and profitable than some domestic companies.

What else could he do?

However, the situation was different now.

Boss Pei had come up with something, produced a designer, and brought Sun Strike Studios to develop Bullet Hole 2!

Humans loved the new and hated the old.

Long Yu Corporation was obviously not sure if this game would succeed or not. It was also impossible for them to give up on IOI at once. Thus, they decided to take the opportunity during Chinese New Year to give the two of them a chance to PK.

If Bullet Hole 2 failed, there would be no need to talk about it. However, if Bullet Hole 2 crushed IOI, then sorry, the publicity resources in the future would be completely tilted towards Bullet Hole 2.

After all, Long Yu Corporation was not a charity company. There were only so many publicity resources. They would definitely give as many profitable projects as possible.

Jin Yong was a little hesitant. “Boss Kang, is that not appropriate? I did not participate in the preparations for Bullet Hole 2 previously. Now, I’m parachuted in to be the person-in-charge. This…”

Boss Kang smiled. “It’s alright. With your experience, you should be able to get to Bullet Hole 2. Actually, if Zhao Xuming had not left, he would be the most suitable candidate for this position. However, he has already gone to Tengda.”

“What’s more, we don’t have much say in the operations of Bullet Hole 2 this time. There’s not much we can do.”

“In this aspect… I hope you can ask Zhao Xuming in private. He has been working in Tengda for a period of time. He should be more experienced in this.”

Jin Yong finally understood why he was chosen as the person-in-charge.

On one hand, it was because he was indeed qualified and capable. However, more importantly, he had a good relationship with Zhao Xuming!

On the other hand, the rights of the game Bullet Hole 2 were with Tengda. When he signed the contract previously, he had already said that Boss Pei had absolute power. Tengda would be the one to decide how the game would be developed. Sun Strike Studios was only responsible for manpower. Tengda would be the one to decide how the game would be operated. Long Yu Corporation was only responsible for destroying publicity resources.

This working model was actually similar to IOI’s operations and cooperation department. However, the target of cooperation changed from Finger Games to Tengda Corporation.

If he wanted to understand Tengda Corporation’s operating strategy in depth, he had to contact Tengda’s people. Zhao Xuming was coincidentally in charge of this business in Tengda, and Jin Yong was very familiar with Zhao Xuming…

Zhao Xuming might not have bothered if it was someone else.

Jin Yong nodded. “Alright, Boss Kang. I’ll definitely complete the task!”

The next day, Jin Yong moved directly to the workspace of Bullet Hole 2.

There were some old acquaintances and unfamiliar faces in the operations team. However, everyone was very polite to him. Obviously, they were quite convinced that he was the person-in-charge.

“Boss Jin, I have already forwarded the operating request from Tengda to your email,” the employee in charge of contacting Tengda Corporation and Sun Strike Studios said.

Jin Yong nodded. “Alright, I’ll watch it in a while.”

After completing the handover, Jin Yong returned to his desk and sat down. He opened the operating request.

However, after reading it from beginning to end, Jin Yong could not help but frown.

“This… isn’t this too simple?”

Jin Yong had a lot of experience in Long Yu Corporation. He had taken over no less than two digits of the games that he had operated. Some were directly responsible, and some were assistants. However, no matter what, he had seen many operating plans.

However, looking at Tengda’s operating request…

It was too simple!

The price of various appearances in the game was clearly requested on the top. The so-called appearance, including the entire skin appearance, also included the skin of firearms and other props.

The entire set of appearance was obviously the most expensive because there were professionals in the game. For example, there were ordinary male military doctors on the surface, more beautiful female nurses, and female medical doctors who looked both righteous and evil. In short, these skins were still very outstanding.

Many of these characters were female. Obviously, Sun Strike Studios’ designers and artists understood the usage of LP.

In addition, Bullet Hole 2 had two models, TPS and FPS. In other words, it could freely choose the first-person or third-person title. These skins would obviously be a very important winning point.

However, all the chargeable contents, including the character skin and firearms skin, were sold at a very cheap price!

On top of that, Tengda’s operating request had a clear requirement: If they were to organize operations, they could only reduce the price and not recommend anything else.

What were other activities? It was very simple. Payment lucky draw, signing rewards, paywalls, mysterious shops, payment permits, and so on were all within the scope of ‘other activities’.

In other words, apart from selling skins and offering discounts, there were no other activities in the game.

“This…”

Jin Yong scratched his head, feeling confused.

His skills were completely useless!
