Chapter 52: Successful Experience Exchange and Sharing!

"Is it really crowded?"

"Are you serious???"

Zhou Muyan looked at the workstations in their own office area and thought, "It's not crowded at all! Most companies are like this, with one desk per person. Moreover, because Tianhuo Studio owns the building, the space is relatively abundant, and the distance between workstations is actually more spacious than in other companies."

"This is not crowded, are you blind..."

Huang Sibo understood that it wasn't that Tianhuo's workstations were crowded, but rather that Tengda's workstations were too spacious!

What company does that kind of thing? Even real estate companies don't do that!

But after working at Tengda for a long time, they were used to that kind of working environment, and now seeing Tianhuo's working environment, they couldn't muster any energy.

Everyone was very listless, without any interest, just like a group of people who were used to living in a seaside villa, looking at the salesgirl frantically praising a "luxury apartment" with three bedrooms and one living room, without any feeling...

Dreams shattered!

Everyone had high expectations for Tianhuo Studio, but now they saw that it was just like this!

The workstations were crowded.

The office computers were average, and the design team didn't even have dual-screen displays.

A few packets of snacks were placed on the desks, serving as the snack area.

The entertainment room only had a small TV, how could that pass the time?

Moreover, they were forced to work overtime without overtime pay!

This was the leading game company in China???

Compared to Tengda, it was far behind!

This feeling was like meeting your first love after being married for many years, only to find that she had become a middle-aged woman with an unattractive appearance.

Looking back at his own wife, why was she so beautiful?!

It seemed that Pei was truly the best boss in the world, there was no one else like him!

But Zhou Muyan felt a bit embarrassed about his exaggerated praise, especially since the other person's expression was perfunctory, which made him lose the mood to continue.

"Let's continue then. We have already arranged the experience exchange and sharing. Please follow me."

The group arrived at a large internal conference room in Tianhuo Studio.

Today's itinerary was all arranged by Assistant Xin and the staff here, including visiting the company and sharing experiences.

Assistant Xin had arranged it according to the usual communication process for companies. After all, they had come a long way, so they couldn't just look at the office building and leave, that would be impolite.

Since it was an exchange and learning opportunity, they must exchange successful experiences with each other, or else this trip would have been a waste.

There were more than 20 people from Tengda and more than 20 employees from Tianhuo Studio who accompanied them. Both sides had arranged for professionals to share their experiences on stage.

The first person to take the stage was Sun Xi, the core designer of a large MM project within Tianhuo Studio.

Sun Xi first expressed a warm welcome to Pei and his group who had traveled from afar, and everyone applauded enthusiastically, creating a lively atmosphere.

Then, Sun Xi began to introduce the successful experience of the MM game that she was currently in charge of.

Pei took out a small notebook and listened attentively, nodding frequently, while his pen wrote and drew on the notebook continuously.

Soon, a turtle was drawn.

After a while, there were more animals drawn on the page, such as a mouse and a duck...

He couldn't understand it at all!

Moreover,

Pei Qian is still sitting in the front row and unable to fall asleep.

Sun Xi's speech wasn't particularly profound. Huang Sibo and the others could understand it, but he mixed in a lot of professional jargon and various English abbreviations in his content. Pei Qian could only roughly guess from his expressions and movements that this game was very impressive, but he couldn't fully comprehend to what extent it was impressive.

Soon, Sun Xi finished speaking. Pei Qian, who was drowsy, couldn't help but be jolted awake and took the lead in applauding.

Next up is Tengda's turn.

It's impolite not to reciprocate. Since the other side shared their successful experience, Tengda naturally should share theirs as well."

On Tengda's side, Huang Sibo was sent to explain the success experience of "Ghost General". "Fortress at Sea" hasn't even been completed yet, and it's uncertain whether it will succeed, so it's not suitable to be presented as a case study.

Strictly speaking, it should have been Pei Qian to share the success experience, as "Ghost General" was entirely developed by him. However, Pei Qian resolutely declined the proposal for two reasons: he didn't want to go on stage, and he couldn't quite explain how "Ghost General" succeeded.

So, when Xin Zhuli informed Pei Qian about the itinerary, he quickly passed the task to Huang Sibo, who could just go up and speak casually.

Huang Sibo took the stage and was greeted with applause from the audience.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I did not participate in the development of 'Ghost General'. This game was entirely created by Mr. Pei. However, during my time at Tengda, I have immersed myself in studying the game and believe that I have a certain understanding of it. I have also grasped some of Mr. Pei's design artistry."

"Mr. Pei, if I make any mistakes during my presentation, please feel free to correct me."

"In my opinion, there are three main reasons for the success of 'Ghost General'."

"Firstly, the game's focus on high-quality and bold art style!"

"As far as I know, Mr. Pei invested more than half of the funds into purchasing artistic resources. He also boldly employed new artists. The epic ink painting style of 'Ghost General' was warmly welcomed by players, thanks to Mr. Pei's visionary approach and high level of aesthetic taste."

"Mr. Pei not only achieved the success of 'Ghost General' but also created a rising new artist, Ruan Guangjian, who has a unique style. It is a win-win situation."

"Secondly, the game's honest in-game purchase system!"

"'Ghost General' costs only 40 yuan for all purchases, which contrasts sharply with other card games like 'QM Three Kingdoms'. This standing-earning, absolutely fair way of making money has won the love and respect of players. The policy of selling at a low profit and high volume has resulted in both high sales and reputation for the game."

"Thirdly, the game's innovative promotion methods!"

"Due to investing all funds into development, 'Ghost General' had no money left for promotion. Mr. Pei creatively used Weibo marketing, which made 'Ghost General' a hit among artists and successfully spread to the gaming community. It had an excellent marketing and spreading effect, which could even serve as a classic case study for marketing and promotion."

"I believe that my presentation is a good summary of the situation, but I welcome Mr. Pei's corrections if needed."

Huang Sibo spoke confidently and looked towards Pei Qian's direction from time to time. Pei Qian nodded and smiled, confirming Huang Sibo's words.

Meanwhile, Sun Xi, Zhou Muyan, and other staff from Tianhuo Studios listened attentively and took notes. Zhou Muyan couldn't help but admire Pei Qian's courage and unconventional thinking.

Pei Qian felt a lot of admiration directed towards him, which made him feel like a genius.
