Chapter 249: Does Lu Yu also have moments of failure?

Should we also do some activities?

Or should we also organize a user feedback activity?

For example, an activity that gives away some game gear, etc.

Chen Qiao put forward his idea.

I can also organize a Penguin Space costume event, offer some bonuses, or give away some membership benefits, etc.

Xiao Ma also gave his suggestion.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, 'We aren't unable to give user feedback, but it shouldn't be like this.'

You should also have seen how the opponent is coming on strong.

If we give user feedback, they will surely double down.

In terms of financial strength, we might not be able to compare with them right now.

Moreover, as we engage in vicious competition in this area, the market might eventually collapse.

Our foundation could suffer a fatal blow.

Chen Qiao and Xiao Ma both fell silent, able to imagine the situation Lu Yu described.

Both sides continually offering users perks could ultimately lead to an imbalance in the entire social software.

By that time, Penguin might be destroyed in an instant.

Hidden Dragon Technology would of course also be destroyed because of this, but……

The two sides' capacities to endure……are likely different.

If Penguin is destroyed, it would be a fatal blow for everyone present.

But if Hidden Dragon Technology is destroyed, would Bruce—or the people behind him—be hurt?

Not necessarily, right?

The atmosphere in the office instantly became solemn.

Lu Yu continued, saying, 'Instead of thinking about competing with them on preferential policies, we should focus on how to give users a better experience.'

Chen Qiao and Xiao Ma fell silent again.

They naturally know this principle, but……they temporarily don't have a good idea.

In fact, the core element of doing business or running a company is naturally to meet customers' needs.

As long as we can satisfy customers' needs, what business couldn't be done well?

But……there are too many things involved here.

Often, customers actually don't know what their own needs are.

Moreover, there's also the issue of cost‑performance.

It's impossible to just let companies directly give money to customers, right?

Customers would naturally be happy to receive money out of the blue, but……what should the company do?

To put it bluntly, even if we really did that, it wouldn't have much of an effect.

Users receiving money might continue supporting your business for a short time, but……can your enterprise keep giving money to customers?

According to the current progress of Technical Department One, Adventure Island might still need two or three weeks before it can go live.

The launch of Adventure Island should be able to bring some help to Penguin.

But that's certainly not enough.

In this period, I will give Technical Department One another game.

The emergence of Hidden Dragon Technology has indeed somewhat disrupted Lu Yu's steps in running Penguin.

Now Lu Yu even plans to bring out Dungeon & Fighter.

Of course, this is actually not a big problem.

If Dungeon & Fighter still isn't enough, Lu Yu will probably have to bring out League of Legends.

Lu Yu doesn't think that, in this era, any gamer could refuse League of Legends.

Not to mention now; even ten or more years later, this game will still have a place.

But of course, we still need some other measures to address the urgent situation.

I have already written a plan.

In a moment, I will send it over to you.

Lu Yu said as such.

Afterward, Lu Yu held a meeting lasting over an hour with Chen Qiao and Xiao Ma, thus ending this telephone conference.

'Little Yu……don't put too much pressure on yourself.' After the meeting ended, Chen Qiao thought it over and still came to Lu Yu's side, saying as such.

Chen Qiao could feel that Lu Yu is much more serious than before.

That is to say, even Lu Yu feels the pressure this time.

Lu Yu lightly nodded and said, 'Don't worry, Uncle Chen; I have confidence in myself and in you all.'

However, this time the opponent has indeed become stronger, so……

We all need to be more serious.

Chen Qiao could only nod.

……

Penguin Headquarters.

Xiao Ma opened the software Lu Yu sent over.

At this moment, Xiao Ma is in a meeting room.

Besides Xiao Ma, the meeting room also contains Penguin's current core members.

They naturally gathered together to discuss the plan Lu Yu had sent over, in order to solve the threat currently posed by Hidden Dragon Technology.

Now, they all wore expressions of expectation, their eyes fixed tightly on the projector.

Everyone present admired Lu Yu.

So they all believed that the proposal Lu Yu had sent over would definitely help Penguin get through the crisis.

Xiao Ma projected the email.

"Penguin Farm!"

This is the title of the entire proposal.

Then everyone began to read it seriously.

To be honest, the proposal contains no difficult-to-understand knowledge.

It is a very simple proposal.

In Penguin Space, open a farm for all users.

Each customer can plant vegetables in the farm.

This is a "farming"-style game.

After sowing and seeing results, this process and its conclusion indeed make people feel happy.

But…

Will such a game have too few players?

Who has that much time to sow and wait for the harvest?

Or rather, who has that much leisure?

You know that the main users of Penguin are all young people!

What young people need is stimulation, a fast pace.

So after looking at Lu Yu's proposal, the whole meeting suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere becoming awkward and solemn.

The awkwardness is because… they think Lu Yu miscalculated this time.

The solemnity is because… even Lu Yu has times when his talent runs out, so what about them?

What good ideas can they come up with to deal with Hidden Dragon Technology?

This time… will Penguin suffer a major setback?

Everyone felt worried.

Xiao Ma coughed, drawing everyone's attention, and said: "What do you think of the boss's proposal?"

No one spoke, but their attitude was already clear.

Xiao Ma frowned involuntarily, pondered for a while, then said: "Let the technical department develop Penguin Farm."

"Launch Penguin Farm as soon as possible, then…"

"The boss is already developing a new game; in two or three weeks the game can go live."

"We must strive to get through this period."

"When the new game arrives, we will have hope."

Obviously, Xiao Ma doesn't have much confidence in the so-called Penguin Farm.

Everyone nodded in agreement; that's all they could do.

Then someone took the Penguin Farm proposal and sent it to the technical department.

This meeting then ended here.

Everyone's mood was low, they could only place their hope on Adventure Island coming in two or three weeks.
