Pei Qian never expected that he would see a game review of “Ghost General” on a portal website!

Out of curiosity, he clicked to take a look.

Recently, a mobile game called ‘Ghost General’ has suddenly become popular. Without any active promotion from the developer, it reached nearly 80,000 downloads in its first week!”

According to estimates, this game far exceeds other card mobile games of the same period in terms of active users, player satisfaction, and retention rate. It could be said to be far ahead, with no match in sight!”

“Many industry insiders previously analyzed that the current card mobile game market had already become a red ocean. Even ‘Q-Meng Three Kingdoms,’ as the founder of card mobile games, inevitably faced the predicament of declining active users and decreasing revenue, and seemed to have found no good solution.”

“However, ‘Ghost General’ completely overturned this view, proving that card mobile games still have tremendous room for development!”

“So, why could this game go against the trend under these circumstances and become the successor to ‘Q-Meng Three Kingdoms’ in many players’ minds, the new benchmark for card mobile games?”

“Next, the writer will use professional analysis to reveal the secret behind ‘Ghost General’s’ success!”

“First, ‘Ghost General’ did not follow the Q-version cute style led by ‘Q-Meng Three Kingdoms,’ but instead used a brand new visual style to reshape the images of Three Kingdoms characters, giving players a refreshing experience!”

“The uniform Q-version characters have already made players tired, while this brand new epic ink and oil painting style allows players to see a different Three Kingdoms, making players like it at first sight!”

“Second, ‘Ghost General’ simplifies complexity, refining the currently bloated card mobile game gameplay, keeping only the most original and classic basic gameplay, reducing the burden on players!”

“‘Q-Meng Three Kingdoms’ and other mature card mobile games only know how to add features, making what was originally a relaxed and casual card mobile game extremely time-consuming, leaving players suffering.”

“‘Ghost General’ only keeps the most basic gameplay, requiring only one or two hours of play each day, which has won the favor of many casual players, avoiding the ‘time war’ with other games!”

“Third, ‘Ghost General’ is too conscientious!”

“Apart from the 10-yuan one-time purchase, the only consumption in the game is the 30-yuan lifetime card. Players are equal; even without grinding or spending money, players can experience all the fun of a card mobile game!”

“This is the most crucial factor in ‘Ghost General’s’ success, and the fundamental reason for the overwhelming positive reviews!”

“Perhaps ‘Ghost General’ is leading the future development direction of card mobile games. Believe that in the future, such fair and relaxed card mobile games will become more and more common!”

Below the news, internet users commented.

“Professional!”

“Well said!”

“Indeed, I play ‘Ghost General’ because it’s fair, and I can draw rare cards without spending money!”

“And I like the art style of this game. Just collecting generals and filling the gallery is enough for me to play for a year!”

And so on.

Pei Qian finished reading the whole article and began to doubt his life.

This works too??

Are the ‘Ghost General’ I made and the ‘Ghost General’ you’re playing the same game?!

Changing the art style was meant to deliberately drive away those players who like the Q-version style!

“Simplifying gameplay”? It’s not that I wanted to simplify it, but the template I bought only had these features. I’m not even proficient with the editor; I couldn’t change it even if I wanted to!

Is the game too conscientious?

That’s because I deliberately priced it that way, not wanting the wealthy to spend money and affect my goal of losing money!

How did everything become an advantage?!

Pei Qian simply wanted to die.

This world is too crazy; something must have gone wrong!

Pei Qian put down his phone and silently contemplated life.

…

“Boss Pei, hello, sorry to keep you waiting.”

A man in his thirties wearing a suit knocked and entered, shaking hands with Pei Qian.

“I am the regional manager of Exxon Human Resources Group in Handong Province, and also a senior headhunter consultant. I’m very pleased to serve you. You can call me Lawrence.”

This headhunter consultant, who had taken an English name, was very polite because Pei Qian had already told the receptionist his identity when he entered: the boss of Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

One-on-one service with a manager-level senior headhunter consultant required an additional consulting fee, but Pei Qian didn’t hesitate at all, showing his wealth and generosity.

Naturally, the headhunting company didn’t dare to be negligent.

Of course, Pei Qian’s main reason was that he was spending the system’s money, not feeling the slightest bit of heartache, so he could remain so calm and composed.

“Hello, Manager Lao. My purpose for coming here is very clear: I want to recruit an assistant,” Pei Qian said directly, getting straight to the point.

“Alright, what are your specific requirements?”

Manager Lao maintained a very professional smile.

“Hmm… the most expensive!” Pei Qian had a “money is no object” expression.

Employee salaries would also be deducted from the system funds. Pei Qian naturally hoped that the higher the salary, the better, as more deductions meant more losses!

Manager Lao smiled: “Good, that’s one aspect, I’ve noted it down. But there are some more specific aspects. For example, do you prefer an administrative secretary-type executive assistant, or a young talent development-type executive assistant?”

Pei Qian looked slightly puzzled: “Is there any difference?”

Manager Lao smiled and explained: “Of course, there’s a difference.”

“Administrative secretary-type executive assistants are often very talented young women with comprehensive abilities, but they mainly handle trivial matters that the CEO is too busy to attend to, similar in nature to a celebrity’s manager.”

“Annual salaries range from 100,000 to 350,000 yuan. For a few exceptionally talented individuals, the ceiling is generally around 400,000 yuan.”

“Young talent development-type executive assistants are often outstanding young men who are being groomed as company backbones, potentially becoming company vice presidents or successors to the CEO in the future…”

“Of course, the two are not incompatible; it mainly depends on your needs.”

Pei Qian chose without hesitation: “The former.”

There was nothing to hesitate about. Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. only had two people; considering a successor now would be ridiculous…

Moreover, Pei Qian had no interest in male secretaries.

None at all!

Manager Lao nodded: “Alright, please wait a moment. We have several resumes here for you to look at and screen.”

A moment later, several resumes were placed in front of Pei Qian.

All were young, beautiful women with similar resumes.

All had solid educational backgrounds.

All were fluent in English, and some were proficient in three languages.

In terms of experience, several had served as executive assistants for top domestic conglomerates.

There were also other bonus points, such as expertise in finance, legal knowledge, and so on.

Manager Lao added: “These candidates are all the most outstanding executive assistant talents in Handong Province. Our headhunters have communicated with all of them, ensuring that their manner of speaking, handling matters, and interpersonal skills are all graceful and orderly.”

Pei Qian flipped through them and picked out the resume with the highest expected salary.
