Chapter 178 Shen Miaomiao's Plan B
There is nothing wrong with him kicking away Golden Wind for the sake of profit.
What he disliked was the pettiness of Kamikoshi and Yamamoto.
While saying that Gu Sheng was just a young man just starting out, he claimed to be one of the experienced top producers.
At the same time, he carefully concealed the news, fearing that the players would know that the director had been replaced.
If you are not afraid , why avoid it?
In this regard, Moritani's comment is just two words - small-minded!
Since truth cannot be hidden, I might as well tell you now!
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It is better to let the players vent their anger sooner rather than conceal it!
Moritani is in a high position, so he dares to think and act!
Although Shangyue was very angry about this, he was helpless!
Besides, as Joetsu himself said, business is not black and white.
Joetsu knew very well that if Moritani was dealt with at this critical juncture, Konami would fall into deeper turmoil.
So, after much consideration, Joetsu decided to go with the flow and let Moritani become the lobbyist to connect with the Golden Wind.
"President Joetsu said that Konami deeply apologizes for the mistake of not notifying us in time about this matter,"
Moriya said:
"We will also release a statement later today, and we hope your company will also provide cooperation and explanation. We hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Silence for a moment!
Gu Sheng shook his head and sighed with some regret:
"In fact, the interruption of cooperation did not cause any loss to Golden Wind. On the contrary, it was your company that suffered the loss. You gave up an IP that could have gone down in history."
"Besides, Mr. Moriya has already spoken, I can't refuse to give him this favor."
"I'm afraid there will be no chance to cooperate with your company in the future."
"But I admire what Mr. Moritani has done. Maybe we will have a chance to get closer in the future."
Comfortable!
So comfortable!
These words praised Moritani Tetsuya highly!
There is one sentence between the lines of Gu Sheng's words - today this face I am giving to you, Tetsuya Moriya, not Konami.
For a moment, even an old veteran like Moriya couldn't help but be shocked:
"Thank you so much, Gu-san! You are such a bastard!"
"Take care, Mr. Moritani." Gu Sheng smiled and said, "See you someday."
The phone was hung up.
Gu Sheng let out a long sigh and nodded: "Sen Gu is a good comrade..."
Be good at planning, prudent, upright, polite to others, able to distinguish right from wrong, and have a sense of justice.
It's a great talent!
However!
At this moment, Shen Miaomiao on the opposite side opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of shock, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground!
Gu Sheng stayed in Japan for less than two months!
Yuki jumped ship, Sato surrendered, Okura took sick leave and was passive, and the production team was disunited!
Even the managing director took the initiative to turn against Konami and gave them a shot!
I am so...
We sent you to start cooperation, but you turned all the opponents against us?
That night!
7:00 Chukyo time, 8:00 Japan time.
Regarding the "Change of Chief Game Director of Silent Hill"!
Konami finally responded!
【KONAMI Co., Ltd.: Due to force majeure, we regret to announce that the cooperation with @黄金之风游戏 has been terminated. Silent Hill will be developed by Konami's 'Yamamoto Studio'. Thank you very much @顾盛Sam for bringing us the bizarre PT world. We will carry on the past and continue to hold up the banner of psychological horror and fully develop the Silent Hill game to live up to the expectations of players! Looking forward to working together again! 】
After the message was sent, the blog post was calm.
Because Konami closed the comments and only opened them to Golden Wind.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Sheng also kept his promise and responded to this blog post through the official social account of Golden Wind:
【Golden Wind Game: Even if the mountains don’t move, the waters will. I look forward to seeing you again (smile).】
Looks like!
Gu Sheng's reply seemed quite standard, as if there was still a chance for further cooperation.
But combined with that smiling expression, it looks so sarcastic no matter how you look at it!
Sarcastic!
What’s even more exciting is!
After replying, Gu Sheng also followed Moriya's example and 'accidentally slipped' and liked a picture in the #SilentHell# topic circle!
It was a shirt with a big "I don't need sex! Bucause i fxxk KONAMI everyday!" written on it.
Hold for one minute, then cancel.
The players were laughing like crazy!
They all commented under the picture:
'【@顾盛Sam thinks it's great.jpg】'
'He didn't even like Konami, but liked this post specifically'
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
'Sam is so funny! That smile is so sarcastic!'
"The old thief has always been good at being sarcastic."
'I laughed my ass off, it's a classic remake'
'He didn't say anything, but it seemed like he said everything'
'Xiao Huang: What does Sam's like have to do with my Golden Wind?'
"Xiao Huang is the fake outer world, Sam is the real inner world, don't ask, if you ask, just Fxxk KONAMI!"
'This like is the essence! '
'Looking forward to meeting you again: when you die'
'Fxxk KONAMI!'
'No matter when or where! As long as you shout this slogan, we are brothers from different fathers and mothers!'
"Although I don't know what happened, it's definitely right to give KONAMI a Fxxk first!"
"Teacher Gu, do you have any plans for the future? How about changing the shell and releasing the original version of Silent Hill, changing the name or something, I'll buy it."
'I second the motion!'
'Second...'
well……
Shen Miaomiao, who was leaning on the sofa, looked at the comments and sighed secretly.
The situation is not good.
However, in order to prevent Konami from interfering, they are currently developing "Outlast" quietly and have not yet announced it to the public.
However, when the day comes for the announcement, the impact on the market will surely be significant.
Although this time, she inherited a rebate multiple of one hundred times, any slight loss would be enough to make a fortune.
But if the situation continues to develop in this way, it is hard to say whether the company will suffer losses, and whether players will turn their grief and anger into motivation and convert Fxxk KONAMI's anger into motivation to buy "Outlast".
Looks like I have to use my plan B...
…
One week ago.
Zhongjing.
Conference room on the third floor of China Science and Technology Development Exchange Center.
Representatives from many domestic first-line game manufacturers and studios gathered together.
The leader, of course, was none other than the new chairman of Huayu Electronics, Jiang Yingcai.
The main purpose of this meeting is to bring together representatives from various companies to discuss the "Charity Week" event to be held in February next year.
It was called a mobilization meeting.
But in fact, everyone knows that the form of this meeting is far greater than its actual significance.
After all, Charity Week is an activity with no harm but only benefits. Many manufacturers are trying hard to get in but are unable to do so. There is no need for mobilization at all.
At the meeting, Jiang Yingcai spoke as usual and briefly talked about the significance and format of Charity Week.
However.
Just when everyone thought that this year would be just the same old thing and a formality.
Then Jiang Yingcai said:
"In addition to these continued traditions, this year, we at Huayu Electronics also have a new call..."
Yo?
Upon hearing this, all the representatives became interested.
Shen Miaomiao also pricked up her ears and turned the page of the notebook filled with drawings of little turtles, ready to listen to what new moves there would be this year.
"As you all know, we have always taken the form of 'launching bundles' for Charity Week,"
Jiang Yingcai said:
"Most of the content in the bundle is classic old games from various companies,"
“This pattern is certainly stable,”
"However, the pace of charity cannot stand still. In order to thoroughly implement the Charity Law, promote the healthy development of charity, create a strong charity atmosphere, and enhance the sense of participation in charity in the industry,"
"Here, on behalf of the China Entertainment Association, I would like to call on everyone to innovate and actively design and develop charity games on the basis of sticking to the charity package to make our charity week activities more vibrant."
Jiang Yingcai finished speaking !
The expressions of the representatives present were all frozen.
this……
They understood what the chairman said.
To sum up, there is only one main theme - to create new games and participate in the Charity Week activities.
This has posed a huge problem to manufacturers.
You must know!
Historically, the reason why Charity Week is so popular is that it includes classic games that were once very popular but are now almost unsaleable!
By offering extremely low prices, we can boost sales and give classic old games a second chance at profitability.
For manufacturers, this means small profits but quick turnover, pure profit!
But now!
Jiang Yingcai’s proposal was to let them pay for the new game!
When it comes to investing money, everyone seems a little hesitant and their enthusiasm is clearly not high.
after all!
Games that participate in Charity Week activities have to donate 10%-15% of the total proceeds!
Especially for independent manufacturers like Zhenting, Fury, and Golden Wind!
The gaming platform itself will take a commission of 30%-35 % of the total turnover, and another 10%-15% of the money will be donated!
After all the busy work, I'm afraid I won't get much money.
So, everyone lowered their heads, just like students hearing the teacher asking questions in class.
Among the silent manufacturers' representatives, only one person's eyes lit up!
Shen Miaomiao!
hiss--!
What a good form!
In theory, the loss rebate system only considers "cost" and "profit", and the less profit, the greater the rebate.
And now, the model proposed by Chairman Jiang is obviously madly compressing profits!
If that’s the case... wouldn’t it be extremely difficult to make a profit?
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao seemed to have grasped the inspiration, and quietly awakened the system in her mind!
'Hey, hey, hey! Brother Tongzi, wake up, brother Tongzi!'
【I am here】
'I'm using money to make games for charity, isn't that against the rules?'
[It is not against the rules, but because the project involves charity, the rebate model will be changed and the 'Charity Project Rebate Rules' will be used.]
'Charity rebate rule? What does that mean?'
[According to the system settings, charity projects are not regular projects, so the difference between cost and profit will not be calculated. Instead, the charity amount of a single charity project will be calculated.]
[Charity project rebate = charity amount x 1%]
Shen Miaomiao: ...
Well, the system has been prepared for this move of mine.
Come to think of it.
If charity projects also give rebates like ordinary parent-child projects, you can go crazy doing charity projects and donate all the profits, thereby exploiting bugs to make huge profits.
One percent rebate...
Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips.
Donate 10,000 and get 100 back, donate 1 million and get 10,000 back, and so on.
Theoretically speaking, this is a project that is bound to lose money.
But then again.
Charity, charity, the main purpose is to do good and accumulate virtue without expecting anything in return.
In order to encourage this behavior, the system gives her a 1% rebate, which is very generous.
What's more, the rebates from the system go into her own little piggy bank!
It's totally about using the company's money to enrich one's own pocket.
It's quite damaging.
It’s a pity that the rebate rate is too low.
One percent.
The donation itself is only 10%-15%, and even if you multiply it by 1%, you won’t get much money.
So, at the meeting, the other manufacturers didn't say anything, and Shen Miaomiao didn't say anything either, and the matter seemed to have just passed.
…
But now!
Shen Miaomiao felt the crisis!
Due to the top-down infiltration and subversion of Konami by the "old spy" Gu Sheng, Konami's reputation has now collapsed!
Although the project development process of both parties has just begun and there is still some time before completion, Konami still has a chance to save its reputation.
but!
Such a heavy blow will take Konami a while to recover from!
This will inevitably affect the promotion of Silent Hill!
Konami is like a bucket. As long as the bucket is not broken, they can collect a lot of water during the development period!
But now, Konami's bucket is broken, and the water that had accumulated in the bucket is leaking out. They have to repair the bucket first and then collect the water. In the end, the water in the bucket will definitely not be as much as it should be under ideal conditions.
The behemoth that the golden wind couldn't defeat before is now in a difficult situation!
Shen Miaomiao was afraid that her words would come true and really bring disaster to Konami.
so!
Charity Plan B must be launched!
Every bit of money you make is good. Even a small amount is still meat.
Although according to the requirements of Huayu Electronics, the donation amount for a game or charity package is 10%-15% of the total profit.
However, from a system perspective, she could just donate all her total profits!
Back then! Two years ago! At that time, they were still a little-known game company!
The game "Vampire Survivor" developed by them generated 2.5 million in revenue in a single week with a cost of only 200,000!
And now, Lao Gu has many halos and has fans from China to Asia and then to the world!
In addition, this charity week will have the Huayu Electric Station.
If we release a small or medium-sized game for the PC platform and triple or 5 times the revenue, it shouldn't be a problem to earn 18 million, right?
By then, if I could make a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, I could feel mentally balanced.
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao nodded secretly, and shouted to Gu Sheng who was exercising on the treadmill: "Old Gu, Old Gu! Do you want to do charity?"
"For charity?"
Gu Sheng, who was running, didn't know what little Nezha suddenly remembered, so he slowed down the treadmill and asked while walking:
"What charity? Are you talking about the charity week event hosted by Chairman Jiang?"
"Yeah!" Shen Miaomiao sat up, took a glass of water, ran to Lao Gu and handed him the glass eagerly: "There is a new activity this year."
"New activities?"
Gu Sheng took the water and took a sip:
"Tell me about it."
"Okay,"
Shen Miaomiao nodded obediently, straightened her back, and acted respectfully:
"Mr. Gu, please listen to my report..."
