Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 46

  Chapter 46 One is abstract and weird, and the other is local tyrant and stupid

Oh, right.

   After thinking for a moment, Chu Qingzhou remembered.

  The scene in front of me seemed to be exactly the same as Gu Sheng's first interview.

   It was she who raised the objection, but the boss praised Gu Sheng as if he had lost his mind.

  Is there something wrong with these two?

  Chu Qingzhou frowned.

  One is abstract and weird, and the other is a local tyrant.

  Gu Sheng is a dog-headed military adviser, and Miao Miao is the boss of a fool. One of them really dares to think, and the other really dares to do it.

  Opened her mouth, Chu Qingzhou wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

  So she wisely chose to shut up, and she even wanted to see what kind of tricks these two people could come up with.

  Gu Cheng did not expect Shen Miaomiao to agree so happily.

   was also taken aback:

   "Very good? Meaning...can be done?"

   Seeing Gu Sheng's surprised look, Shen Miaomiao chuckled:

   "What's wrong with you, it's rare to see you so unconfident!"

  This is more than possible! It can be done!

   It's rare that you can put forward some money-burning suggestions. I'm so happy that it's too late!

  The most important thing is that this proposal is exactly what I want!

  Before, Shen Miaomiao was worried about what to say about the development of the somatosensory cabin.

  Because everyone knows that the risk of investing in the physical cabin track of Gold Ventures is extremely high.

after all!

  As of the end of this month, according to the data given by the Finance Department, the total revenue of Golden Wind is only about 3 million.

  This revenue is indeed not small for a small game company like theirs.

   But for the somatosensory cabin track, it is definitely not too much!

  If she rashly proposed to enter the somatosensory cabin at the meeting, she might be collectively rejected by the executives.

  Shen Miaomiao didn't particularly care about other people's opinions.

  She was mainly afraid of Gu Sheng's objection.

  If the manager does not nod, the project cannot be started.

Yes.

   On the surface, it seems that she is Gu Sheng's boss, but to some extent, their identities are reversed.

  That's why she specially called Gu Sheng over today, and wanted to contact him first, trying to persuade Gu Sheng.

   Unexpectedly!

  Gu Sheng thought of her together!

   Sure enough, no matter how mature and prudent a person is, after successive successes, it is hard to escape!

   What's more, Gu Sheng is so legendary!

  Since their debut, three works have been very popular, and they have been the top sellers on the platform.

   Even, the latest work has set multiple records on the platform one after another.

  I was even awarded the title of "Supernova Designer" by the first-line game platform, and was reported by the media.

  Since stepping into the game circle, he has never lost a single game.

Yes.

  Shen Miaomiao didn't know Gu Sheng's past life experience, so she took it for granted that the reason why Gu Sheng was so aggressive and offered to enter the somatosensory cabin track was because—

  He floated away.

very good!

  When a person drifts away, he will make frequent tricks, and he will no longer be as wise as before.

  Looks like my day is coming!

  The five-dollar loss was just the beginning.

  This time, I, Shen Miaomiao, want old Bai Deng to make a fist—a big one for you guys!

  Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao bared her small white teeth and said with a smile:

   "At the exchange meeting before, I was very interested in the somatosensory cabin project that my friends said,"

  “I think this is a very good project track, and we can make a difference.”

  Chu Qingzhou was listening by the side, with black lines all over her head.

  He felt that Shen Miaomiao at this time was like that kind of idiot Mediterranean greasy boss who didn't understand **** but was jealous of everything.

  Seeing the popularity of e-commerce today, I quickly asked my staff to do e-commerce.

  Seeing the live broadcast fire tomorrow, I quickly asked my subordinates to do the live broadcast.

  The day after tomorrow, when I saw short videos becoming popular, I quickly asked my subordinates to make short videos.

  It seems that I only see the hot money making of those projects, without thinking about whether I will operate such projects.

  The words that are often talked about are "everyone can succeed, why can't we" and "you can only show your ability by doing big things with a small amount of money".

  Then formulate a series of plans that are impossible to achieve and use completely the wrong force, so that the migrant workers will slip away like the third grandson, and nothing will be achieved in the end.

  Of course, it's different from those silly bosses.

  The local bosses are only stupid, not stupid. They will do everything they can to reduce the cost and extract the value of the workers, so as to achieve the purpose of spending a small amount of money to do big things.

  But Shen Miaomiao, regardless of the cost, highlighted a spendthrift like water, as if she had a grudge against money.

Of course!

   With such a boss, the employees must be very happy.

   Unlimited funds!

  As long as it is within the scope of the company's funds, it can be built!

   This is the dream of many designers!

   Seeing that Shen Miaomiao agreed straightforwardly, Gu Cheng grinned: "If this is the case, then our investment scale will have to be expanded..."

  Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up.

have a look! This is called professional!

   Before the project is formally finalized, I know that I am asking for money. Where can I find this big baby!

   "Come on, come on, tell me to listen..."

  Shen Miaomiao was so happy that she wanted to bite someone, she beckoned for Gu Cheng to elaborate.

  She just likes to hear some words about investing money.

  “First of all, if we want to enter the somatosensory cabin market, we first need to obtain equipment support.”

   Gu Sheng said:

   "As far as I know, there are currently five somatosensory cabin manufacturers on the market, three of which are foreign,"

   "The remaining two are Xunteng Technology's 'Polar Bear II' and Yiyou Technology's 'Yiyou x1'"

   "Among them, Yiyou x1 has only become popular in recent years, and its market share may be slightly lower,"

   "But considering that our games are all available on Yiyou, choosing Yiyou x1 will be more cost-effective for us."

   This is Gu Sheng's consideration after weighing.

  He knows that the profit methods of the somatosensory cabin and the game platform are different.

  Generally speaking, the profit method of game platforms is commission.

  The commission rate varies, generally speaking, it is around 30%.

   Yiyou is very low, only 20% of the fee, and in order to support small and medium-sized games, at the beginning of this year, it specially launched the policy of "games with a total investment cost of less than 500,000 yuan are free from commission".

   This is also one of the main reasons why Gu Sheng has been publishing games on Yiyou platform.

  But the profit model of the somatosensory cabin is different—

  Since there are only a few somatosensory cabin manufacturers in the world, it is a seller's market.

  So, if a game wants to log in to the somatosensory cabin and obtain platform support, in addition to getting a commission, it also needs to pay a "device login fee".

   It can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

  Gu Sheng thinks this is very unreasonable.

   But there is nothing to do.

   "The reason why I suggest we choose Yiyou x1 is mainly because its login fee and rake rate are slightly lower,"

   Gu Sheng said:

   "In addition, we are now in the honeymoon period with Yiyou. In terms of price, I think there is still room for negotiation."

   What Gu Sheng said is reasonable.

   But Shen Miaomiao frowned.

   She was a little tangled.

   Judging from the market share, she must be more inclined towards Yiyou x1.

   After all, its market share is low, which means that the number of players who buy games is limited, which can effectively curb game sales.

   But the problem is that Yiyou x1's login fee and commission are relatively low, which seems to be unfavorable for her to increase investment.

Um-

How to do it?

  Shen Miaomiao thought to herself.

   Isn't there an option with low market share and high equipment registration fee?

  How about I develop the somatosensory cabin by myself?

   also does not work.

  Shen Miaomiao shook her head.

  The research and development of the somatosensory cabin is a huge project, and it often costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of capital investment.

  According to the current financial situation of Golden Wind, they still have a long way to go before independently developing the somatosensory cabin.

  However, if it really develops in the future, investing in the research and development of the somatosensory cabin would be a good way to lose money.

   Putting this bad move in mind for now, Shen Miaomiao once again thought about the way to have both fish and bear's paw.

  Or else...

  I'll go to Zhongjing again, talk to Yan Sheng, and see if we can increase the price for us.
