On weekends, the empty office area was extremely quiet.

In the large office, Guan Qiuhe looked at the news headlines on the computer webpage and frowned.

"Who is targeting the company, Shanda?"

Guan Qiuhe couldn't figure it out.

Then he made a call: "Xiao Zhao, come here."

Guan Qiuhe gave some instructions to his secretary Xiao Zhao.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the freezing cold city of Shanghai, Guan Qiuhe sighed for a long time: "Winter is here."

"What would you do if it were you?"

Guan Qiuhe's maturity in running a business is inseparable from Fang Nian's hand-off as the shopkeeper most of the time, as well as the ease with which Fang Nian intervenes in decision-making.

Last night Fang Niancai specifically said that he was studying academic issues.

Naturally, Guan Qiuhe would not immediately ask Fang Nian to discuss countermeasures as soon as something happened.

Over such a long period of time, Guan Qiuhe has become more and more like a mature company general manager.

After thinking for a long time, Guan Qiuhe found that he could not think about the problem from Fang Nian's perspective this time.

So I had to give up.

After all, the company now has a lot of problems to deal with.

…………

This Sunday, news kept popping up all day long.

There is unfavorable news for ‘Greed for Fun’ everywhere.

Later, Guan Qiuhe received a strange phone call.

A middle-aged male voice came from inside: "Hello, Mr. Guan. I take the liberty of disturbing you. I'm sorry to offend you. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Guan to listen to what I have to say."

Guan Qiuhe was also very curious about the call that could be made directly to his mobile phone, so he said calmly: "I don't know your surname, sir."

"My surname is Zhao." The man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.

Then the conversation changed and he said directly: "Mr. Guan, Zhao is a small person and speaks straightforwardly. Don't take it to heart;

The purpose of my phone call is for cooperation, and I think Mr. Guan will understand what I mean."

Guan Qiuhe's eyes moved slightly, and he heard the meaning of the man named Zhao, but he said: "I'm sorry, could you please Mr. Zhao to be more straightforward?"

The man surnamed Zhao laughed: "Mr. Guan is really quick to talk. I think Mr. Guan has already felt the sudden changes in the game market..."

"..."

"We have the ability to help your company get through this difficult time without you having to worry about so many coping strategies."

Guan Qiuhe also laughed and said: "I think Mr. Zhao should have something to ask for, so he might as well just say it."

The man surnamed Zhao chuckled: "Mr. Guan is very happy. All we want is a small, insignificant share of your company."

Guan Qiuhe's face remained unchanged and she said calmly: "I'm sorry, our company has no idea of ​​financing for the time being. It's a start-up company and we can't afford it. I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Zhao."

The man surnamed Zhao did not bother and said: "Excuse me, but we still hope Mr. Guan will think about it carefully."

"..."

After this phone call, Guan Qiuhe vaguely understood something.

On Monday, another executive meeting was held, but Guan Qiuhe did not reveal the news.

As the general manager of the company, she knows what things don't need to be said.

At this meeting, the situation faced by "Gand Fun" became even worse.

Not long after the meeting started, Zhou Dongsheng reported something: "Last night, there was a lot of news on the Internet.

The new web game launched by Legend of Surplus is similar in experience to our company, but the client game has an updated version, which greatly improves the picture quality and smoothness."

After a pause, he said: "There are also discussions about web games and client games that suddenly popped up in some forums; a large number of players think that the picture quality and fineness of web games are not as comfortable as client games.

There are a lot of related discussions in the game server of ‘Legend of Greed and Fun’ right now.”

"..."

After Zhou Dongsheng finished speaking, the head of the market research department also reported: "Today there are some free legendary web games with bold and eye-catching styles, which have attracted quite a few players..."

"..."

The operation and maintenance department reported the operation and maintenance data: "From the night before yesterday to today, the traffic of the legendary web game has dropped a lot..."

"..."

"Some posts revealed the public remarks made by the operations manager of Pengcheng Independent Operation Center before he left office, deliberately confusing the view by saying that he insisted on a high-quality game experience and paid props route."

"..."

After discussion at this meeting, we continued to adhere to the strategy of loosening externally and tightening internally.

At the same time, I decided to express my attitude online and so on.

Especially after Guan Qiuhe knew that someone had appeared with the intention of acquiring the shares of Tan Fun, he became more cautious in his decision-making.

However, in the next few days, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Many players who had access to the world server suddenly said they would quit playing.

He also talked about a lot of things that only high-level players know, such as the difficulty of upgrading equipment, the fact that world server PK is just like that, etc.

He also said that "For Fun" may be preparing free low-level equipment now, because low-level players have little turnover contribution.

These remarks ultimately led to a further decline in the traffic of ‘Legend of Greed and Fun’.

At this time, the exquisite picture quality and richer content of the PC game Legend were overwhelmingly promoted, attracting all the attention of Legend players.

Guan Qiuhe even knew through the company's operation and maintenance department that loyal players of "Legend of Greed and Fun" were falling silent in large numbers.

It seems that there is a force at work that makes these players suddenly not want to play.

Although the statistical reports are getting worse and worse, Guan Qiuhe and the company executives have not found effective countermeasures.

…………

Just when ‘Gan Fun’ is fully coping with the huge market impact faced by the legendary web game.

The operations department calculated the complete game turnover for the new week and sent the report to Guan Qiuhe's desk.

After reading the report, Guan Qiuhe asked with a stern face: "What's going on? How come the Demonic Web Game has been so affected? Isn't everyone talking about Legend in the game market now?"

The head of the operations department was also confused: "I don't know, it's like there are suddenly no more game players. Some players find it boring and don't want to continue playing."

"Because the turnover is not very high in the first place, the performance will be very obvious."

Guan Qiuhe certainly knew that it was obvious that in the past week, the total revenue of the Demon Realm web game was less than two million.

"Without any warning?"

The operations manager frowned and said, "No, there were high-level players shouting on the world channel. After shouting and shouting, they found that there were no people around, and then the number of active players quickly began to decrease."

Guan Qiuhe waved his hand: "I understand."

In the next few days, ‘Gan Fun’ was busy dealing with various matters.

Guan Qiuhe even received several calls from different people.

His tone is similar to that of a man named Zhao.

There is hope to directly acquire the shares of ‘Tan Hao Wan’.

There are also those who hope to buy out the ‘Legend of Greed and Fun’ with money.

The more it was at this time, the less Guan Qiuhe dared to act rashly.

The "fun-loving" executives tried every means to deal with it, such as making public statements, letting the media report, issuing questionnaires, etc., but to no avail.

In just three days, the revenue of the Demon Realm web game quickly dropped to close to 0, with less than 5,000 active players in the entire server.

Due to the triple impact of the free Legend web game, the PC game Legend, and complaints from internal players, the daily revenue of the Legend web game dropped dramatically. Suddenly it was less than 200,000, and the number of active players in the entire server dropped from tens to millions at its peak.

down to tens of thousands.

‘Greedy for fun’ can’t do anything up or down.

Guan Qiuhe also had a headache, so she decided to disturb Fang Nian...

…………

…………

On Monday, the last day of November, Fang Nian finally finished reading the original introduction to cognitive philosophy.

Fang Nian, who was not as talented as Liu Xi, felt faintly that his head was swollen.

It’s as if the load on the ‘cpu’ of the brain is too high.

Fang Nian couldn't help but have this thought: "I am a hot chicken."
To be continued...
