Wei Yan’s game reform plan

"But what exactly should we do?"

Fang Chang asked in confusion. He had considered this matter as well; generally, methods to increase player activity were nothing more than increasing gameplay or holding some events.

However, regarding gameplay, the current gameplay of Extreme Survival was already the most popular, and all they could do was make some minor adjustments.

Regarding events, there were also high limitations.

"First, we can still do a joint game outfit with Tiange Club. Of course, this game outfit is not for sale, but for a lucky draw."

Wei Yan said calmly.

"But this is no different from just adding a normal outfit."

Zhao Bowen looked puzzled. Currently, the skins made for Extreme Survival were all obtained through lucky draws. If the new skin was done the same way, there would be no change; it would undoubtedly just be an extra joint collaboration, which wouldn't help increase game player activity.

"I haven't finished yet."

Wei Yan smiled faintly and continued.

"Nowadays, whether it's Extreme Survival or Tianlong, a lot of skins have been released over the past year or so, but the number of lucky draws remains the same. This leads to a situation where a new skin often appears before the prize pool for the current skin has been exhausted, yet the number of lucky draws for players—even counting the ones gifted by the three cards—is still just that much."

"With limited lucky draw chances and an increasing number of skins, it's hard for players to make choices regarding skin draws. I've been paying attention to this for a while, and on the official Weibo of Extreme Survival, many players are complaining about the issue of having too few lucky draw chances."

"Hmm, I've noticed this problem too and have been researching it recently. The most reasonable solution discussed so far is to increase the number of lucky draws gifted by the three cards, which could also increase the probability of players purchasing cards."

Fang Chang nodded slightly. He had noticed this long ago; there were even many people in the comment section calling for the ability to spend money to purchase lucky draw chances.

However, this definitely wouldn't work. If they did that, it would undoubtedly be reverting to how things were before.

It would go from a game of luck back to a game of money.

"Hmm, that's not very good. If we do that, what will those who have already bought cards think? If we increase the lucky draw chances, how do we count the cards bought previously? Moreover, besides increasing the enthusiasm for purchasing cards, it won't be able to increase player activity."

Wei Yan shook his head slightly.

"We can start from other areas. For example, we can set up a level system for player accounts. Every time a game is played, depending on the performance in that game, a certain amount of experience will be gained. For every 10 levels the game account increases, the account can receive 1 additional lucky draw chance per day."

"And then there's game time. If the accumulated time spent in the game reaches one hour every day, it can increase the lucky draw chances by one. Of course, to prevent players from farming time by going AFK upon entering the game, we also need to implement some monitoring and player reporting channels. Of course, the specific implementation can be left to the technical department to develop."

"And the appearance of this joint skin is just the right opportunity. After all, with the increase in game skins, reforms will have to be made sooner or later."

Listening to Wei Yan's words, Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen's eyes gradually lit up.

Doing this could indeed increase player activity. As long as players want to obtain more skins, they need to obtain more lucky draw chances, and to obtain more lucky draw chances, they need to play the game.

"By the way, if we cooperate like this, what benefits should we give Tiange Club? After all, it's a joint collaboration using the champion players from their club. Although the current cooperative relationship between the two parties is good, since it is a collaboration, it needs to be mutually beneficial."

After a while, Fang Chang suddenly thought of a question.

"This is easy to solve. Cooperation is nothing more than a matter of benefits. We won't sell the skins here, but we can use a certain number of skins as payment. Since this skin is a joint collaboration, we can provide a certain number of skins to Tiange Club to handle, let's set it at about 100,000 sets. Whether they sell them or use them for events is their own business."

"And since it's a joint skin, we can also make it a limited edition, with a total of only 1 million sets issued, and it will stop once they are all drawn."

Wei Yan briefly explained his thoughts. He believed that once Tiange Club knew their terms, they would definitely agree.

Given the current popularity of Extreme Survival, the price of an out-of-print skin is not cheap.

And Tiange Club would have 100,000 sets.

Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen thought about it and didn't feel there was any problem, so they nodded and agreed.

"Then it's settled."

"Hmm, let me go and arrange a meeting with Tiange Club. They just finished the competition and should not have left Jiang Cheng yet."

…

Changfeng Garment Factory,

Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Tiange Club wanted to order a large batch of team uniforms, which was a good thing.

Although he didn't understand games, a while ago, the BL Game Club team achieved the Leap, and they sold 230,000 sets of team uniforms.

At 799 yuan per set, the total sales for 230,000 sets were over 180 million.

Of course, their Garment factory only charged a normal clothing fee of 399 yuan; their Garment factory and BL Game Club each earned around 80 million.

Of course, the 80 million for their Garment factory included labor and raw materials.

And the club made a full profit of 80 million.

For Tiange Club ordering team uniforms, he couldn't charge 399 for a set of clothing. That 399 was because both companies were under the Mingri Group. Although the relationship with Tiange Club was friendly, the price couldn't be calculated the same way.

But he still gave a friendly price of 479 yuan per team uniform.

Tiange Club had already agreed to the price and would come over later to discuss the details and sign the contract.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, stood up, and went to the reception area to prepare the tea in advance.

This was probably the biggest business deal since the Garment factory became a branded clothing line, so he definitely had to treat it seriously.

About half an hour later,

The manager of Tiange Club had arrived at the Garment factory, and Jiang Cheng went downstairs himself to bring him to the office.

"Congratulations, President Du, on winning the championship."

Jiang Cheng congratulated him.

"General Manager Jiang, you're too kind. Let's talk about the team uniforms."

Du Ziteng smiled slightly.

"That works. Did General Manager Chen not come with you?"

Jiang Cheng noticed that only Du Ziteng had come. He had heard from Yao Beiguo that Tiange Club had two managers, and there was also a General Manager Chen, Chen Cong.

"Oh, General Manager Chen went to see General Manager Wei, that is, Wei Yan of your Cangxue Games. He also has some things to discuss."

Du Ziteng responded.

When he and Chen Cong were preparing to come over, they received a call from Wei Yan, and then Chen Cong went to see Wei Yan.
