56: You bet right

“And our company is just starting out, so many things can be taken step by step; there's no need to be so eager for quick success.”

“Step by step? If we take it step by step now, all the market share will be snatched up by others!”

Qin Feixu's tone carried a hint of impatience.

“You all know how fierce the competition in the current game market is! As a startup, the key to growing stronger is profitability, and no one can deny that.”

“What about you, President Xu, what do you think?”

Qin Feixu's gaze turned to Xu Lian, awaiting his response.

“I think your idea makes sense, but completely weakening the functions of all content would be too extreme.”

“I suggest that when there are fewer players, we moderately adjust certain key data, keeping it neither too high nor too low, maintaining balance.”

“Then, during holiday peak times, we can slightly increase it.”

In fact, the plan Qin Feixu proposed was indeed intended to help President Xu's company earn more money.

However, unilaterally lowering all core probabilities for Dungeon & Fighter at once would seem too eager for quick profits.

One must know, Xu Lian had completely given up on this game back then precisely because he was fed up with similar disgusting settings.

If Qin Feixu's approach were truly implemented, players would certainly be full of complaints, and even leave in large numbers.

Coupled with the upcoming crossfire, he absolutely could not cause public resentment at this critical moment.

Qin Feixu was silent for a moment after hearing this; she found Xu Lian's attitude somewhat difficult to understand.

The strategies she had executed at her previous company had always been like this, and neither the team nor the leadership had ever objected.

Why wouldn't it work here?

Didn't all game companies try to find ways to extract money from players?

“Alright, you two go get busy first.”

Xu Lian waved his hand, signaling Yu Waner and Lin Weixin to leave the room, intending to speak with Qin Feixu alone.

“President Xu, Dungeon & Fighter's popularity is just right now; following my method will definitely bring in more profit!”

Qin Feixu emphasized, still puzzled.

“To be honest, my company and other game companies are fundamentally different.”

“I know you used to work at Yunteng Company, and you helped them make a lot of money.”

“But those ideas of yours aren't very suitable for my project.”

“Right now, I just want to build up the company's reputation first; once the word-of-mouth is established, it won't be too late to think about making money.”

During the interview, Xu Lian had already learned that Qin Feixu had moved from Yunteng Company.

Combined with her exceptional financial capabilities, Xu Lian decided to keep her.

“But President Xu, you can't guarantee that every game released in the future will make a fortune like Dungeon & Fighter, can you?”

Qin Feixu asked directly.

“I'm confident about that, so don't worry.”

Xu Lian responded with a confident nod.

Xu Lian had transmigrated from a world where game masterpieces emerged one after another, and he was also bound to a system.

He had plenty of popular games like Dungeon & Fighter in his mind.

“Alright.”

Seeing such a confident Xu Lian, Qin Feixu didn't know what to say for a moment.

She just felt that Xu Lian was too young and hadn't been tempered by social reality yet.

Dungeon & Fighter's data was indeed astonishing.

Over a million downloads on the first day, over ten million in profit within a week, and it topped all domestic charts within a month.

Such achievements made everyone in the game industry envious.

However, Qin Feixu didn't believe that every game Xu Lian made afterward could replicate this success.

But since the boss said so, she could only follow his arrangements.

“Speaking of which, I want to know why you resigned from Yunteng? Was it about compensation? Or another reason?”

As the most profitable game company in the country, Yunteng always offered good benefits to its employees.

And Qin Feixu was one of their core members, so why would she suddenly come to his company?

“You could say it's… a gamble.”

Qin Feixu smiled meaningfully.

Her salary and bonuses at that company were indeed several times what Xu Lian's company offered.

But only insiders knew that Yunteng was already in decline.

On the surface, it looked infinitely glorious, even hailed as an industry benchmark.

In reality, the higher-ups were constantly scheming against each other to fight for shares, a complete mess.

Moreover, their Designers were getting worse and worse; each new game they produced was worse than the last, and profits were declining year by year.

The company even planned to venture into other fields, so it probably wouldn't develop new games in a few years.

Once the old players' money was drained, Yunteng would likely completely withdraw from the market.

Qin Feixu specialized in data-related management work, and staying would only mean waiting for layoffs.

So, she had considered changing jobs half a year ago, but had been undecided.

Until three months ago, when Dungeon & Fighter launched and became popular across the country overnight!

From then on, she began to pay attention to Xu Lian, the Designer.

After some observation, she found that Xu Lian's operational methods were very clever, using many tactics commonly employed by business magnates.

Coupled with Dungeon & Fighter's continued popularity, Xu Lian's reputation also grew.

So she proactively resigned and chose to join Xu Lian's company.

“It seems you made the right bet.”

Xu Lian smiled with interest.

No matter how much Yunteng earned by exploiting players, it was only temporary.

Xu Lian would need at most two years to surpass that company.

“I hope so.”

Qin Feixu responded with a smile, full of anticipation.

Although this young boss was a bit arrogant, he inexplicably gave people a sense of reliability.

…

“You really dared to hire that woman?”

Returning home in the evening, Xu Lian received a message from Yu Waner.

This girl was very busy with work during the day, but she still didn't forget to squeeze in a few games.

If Dungeon & Fighter had been modified according to Qin Feixu's suggested plan today, Yu Waner, as a fervent fan, would probably have been the first to object.

“Of course I did.

She works very diligently, and such people are not easy to come by.”

Xu Lian replied readily.

Although Qin Feixu carried a hint of profit-seeking, always eyeing players' wallets.

But she was also thinking for the company, and besides, her ideas hadn't yet escaped the patterns of her previous company.

As long as he kept a close eye on her, there shouldn't be any problems.

“Be careful that this woman doesn't ruin Dungeon & Fighter!”

Yu Waner warned solemnly.

“Relax, it's not that serious.”

Xu Lian chuckled, then looked at the computer screen on the desk.

“How about it? Want to play a couple of rounds? I haven't touched games in a while.”

Recently, busy with company affairs, Xu Lian had no time to play games himself.

“Come on! My ID is: Miserable Programmer.”

The other party replied instantly.

“What kind of name is that?”

Xu Lian grumbled while logging into his account.
