Chapter 386: Golden Engine! All Mercenaries!
I?
Here, Gu Sheng was secretly criticizing Xun Teng for being unreliable.
Then I heard Jiang Yingcai calling me.
He was slightly stunned and secretly shocked.
I thought to myself, brother, if you ask me, who should I ask?
You see, among all of us, only Chen Guangde's family still has an old antique. Now you don't ask him, but you ask me, what magic tricks can I have?
Gu Sheng opened his mouth, feeling a little helpless:
"I was wondering, is the performance of Mr. Chen's engine... a little different from that of today's mainstream engines?"
Gu Sheng has tried his best to make his words sound nicer.
That's more than just a small difference!
The gap is almost catching up with the green train and high-speed train!
Because according to his understanding, the current Crossfire, due to the long period of time without engine updates, the current game performance level is simply primitive when put in the somatosensory cabin.
Not to mention that Yiyou's "full sense" effect cannot be achieved, even the most basic sense of smell and touch are not available.
Have you ever played VR games?
The level of expressiveness of FireWire in the somatosensory cabin is exactly the same as VR.
In fact, if Xun Teng had been a little more diligent and pursued a little progress, and upgraded the engine, even if it was just to upgrade the picture rendering level and connect the basic five senses, he could have thought of a way to see if he could cooperate with Xun Teng to further upgrade the Weilight Engine. Not to mention being on par with Fantasy Dream 5, there is still hope that it can at least catch up with the current basic engine level.
But the opposite happened.
Xun Teng's lack of ambition made them ignore the need for engine upgrades. In the subsequent game development, they even gave up the engine research and development work that required large investments and slow returns, and instead used foreign engines that were faster, more efficient, and could better meet their pace.
Now.
It's like everyone is at a loss.
what to do?
no way.
"Our only option now is to start a new business,"
Gu Sheng thought for a while, but couldn't think of any shortcuts, so he said:
"Our attitude at Golden Wind has always been that the lifeblood of the engine must be in our own hands,"
"It is urgent to develop our own engine. I discussed this with Mr. Shen on the way here."
"This time, we decided to do our best and put all our efforts into engine development,"
"From now on, Golden Wind will not use any other engines, and all research and development work will be done by ourselves."
Straight ball strategy.
Obviously, putting most projects on hold and allowing all studios to focus on engine development is the dumbest way out of the predicament, and there is no shortcut at all.
But the problem is that now, this is the only way out for Golden Wind!
Although the development of an engine, according to the current size of the Golden Wind team, takes one and a half to two years, or even longer.
But there is no way.
If they want to completely get rid of the threat from Vivendi, they can only replace everything with their own.
The game plan is our own, the developers are our own, and the engine is our own.
From raw material output to production and assembly to sales and promotion, we control everything by ourselves. Only by being completely independent can we be invincible.
The cost is certainly huge.
But that's all we can do.
Hearing this!
A number of manufacturers first breathed a sigh of relief.
It is obvious that the golden wind is about to take effect.
To be more precise, Mr. Shen is going to activate his own money ability, and never give in, and he is going to fight Huan Meng to the end with his own strength.
In this way, other manufacturers can use other companies' engines to make the transition first.
After all, their quality requirements for the gaming industry are not as terrible as Golden Wind's.
Use other engines to make the transition first, and then switch to the golden engine.
but!
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but stand in awe.
This has been the case with the Golden Wind for so many years.
He never bowed his head, but always walked with his head held high.
No matter how strong he is, the bright moon shines on the river.
This time, as the flagship leader, Golden Wind is obviously very clear that the core target of this dream is them.
Therefore, they neither shirked their responsibilities nor used national sentiment as a tool for kidnapping.
I paid for the research and development costs of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, and I took on the one-year or even two-year gap in production.
Just one sentence——
I did it, you guys can do whatever you want.
Hearing this.
Not to mention representatives from other manufacturers.
Even Jiang Yingcai couldn't help but gasp.
How reckless.
Originally, the reason why he organized this meeting today was to find some partners for Golden Wind to jointly shoulder the responsibility of engine development.
This is not only his intention, but also the intention of the upper level.
But who would have thought!
Golden Wind and the other two iron-headed kids are so reckless!
On the way here, I was already prepared to fight to the death with Huanmeng and Vivendi behind it!
But the problem is that this will definitely extend the development cycle of the new engine.
After all, if Golden Wind is the only company conducting engine research and development, due to the limited number of R&D personnel, even if they work around the clock, it will take at least a year and a half to come up with a decent engine.
But now.
There are only five and a half months left until China CJ Expo, one of the world's four major game exhibitions, which will kick off in early June next year.
What the higher-ups mean is that this is an exhibition for China to the world, and it is also the best opportunity to showcase our achievements.
【Opportunity is fleeting. 】
The top leader said these eight words to Jiang Yingcai.
Translate——
[At next year's CJ show, the organization must see the results of China's independent research and development of the engine. ]
A research and development cycle of more than one and a half years is obviously not what Jiang Yingcai wants to see, and the higher-ups cannot wait until that time.
After all, you have to know that this incident now affects not only the gaming industry, but also a number of high-tech industry investments that are preparing to register and establish projects in China, and are all waiting and watching.
The higher-ups need them to produce results as soon as possible.
However!
Just when Jiang Yingcai was still worrying about how to get other manufacturers to join in the research and development!
Chen Guangde, who was standing diagonally opposite him, raised his hand again:
"We can provide technical support if Mr. Gu needs it."
Chen Guangde is such an experienced old fox!
Just by taking a quick glance at Jiang Yingcai's hesitant look, you can guess what he meant.
You see, even though Golden Wind has already proposed to take on the responsibility of developing its own engine, Jiang Yingcai still looks hesitant and worried.
Don't ask, it must be that the higher-ups forced him to issue a military order, asking him to call on all manufacturers to work together to complete the engine development project within the specified time.
As for the deadline ?
Is there a better time than a global exhibition like the CJ Show?
It has to be said that the reason why Chen Guangde has been able to dominate the world for so many years, and even suffered such a heavy defeat in the struggle with Golden Wind, not only was he not abandoned, but he was even promoted now, is that he definitely has his own way of dealing with people.
Good! Good, good, good!
On the road!
As soon as these words came out!
Jiang Yingcai's eyes lit up involuntarily and he gave Chen Guangde an approving look.
At the same time, Gu Sheng also cast an inquiring look at Shen Miaomiao.
Chen Guangde's sudden offer of technical support was obviously beyond their expectations.
After all, on the way here, Nezha made it clear that we must do this wave of engine development ourselves and will not let anyone else participate.
Shen Miaomiao was slightly stunned, then rubbed her fingers at Gu Sheng under the table, with a pair of big eyes asking:
'Does it have anything to do with money?'
Seeing this, Gu Sheng grinned:
"Baby, you're dreaming. We've already said that we're fully funded for R&D. Other manufacturers are so happy that they don't have to pay for their products. How can they be willing to share our R&D investment? We still have to pay them for technical support. It's like outsourcing work. We pay the money and they do the work."
oh?
Is there such a good thing?
Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows:
"Then will our investment be...?"
'It will be higher.'
Gu Sheng raised his finger under the table.
As he said, the addition of technical support is actually equivalent to hiring the Tianlang team with engine development experience to do the work, which is like hiring mercenaries.
The development time will indeed be further shortened.
But correspondingly, R&D investment will naturally increase.
It's like spending money to buy time.
Wow!
good!
Good, good, good!
Upon hearing this!
Shen Miaomiao, who had been serving as a mascot for Gu Sheng, became excited.
You should have told me earlier that we have this good way to increase R&D costs!
"need!"
Shen Miaomiao smiled at Chen Guangde without hesitation:
"We couldn't ask for more technical support! Great!"
Talking about it!
Shen Miaomiao turned to Yan Sheng on her left: "Boss Yan?"
"ah?"
Yan Sheng was startled when he was suddenly called by the King of Hell and looked at Shen Miaomiao.
He understood what Shen Miaomiao meant. It was nothing more than that since Xun Teng announced that it would provide technical support, the little aunt wanted to ask them if they were interested.
But you must know!
For a large project of this magnitude, the technical support team that you usually work with is, at best, just one that you can choose.
Because if we add a technical support team, although the R&D time will be further shortened, the R&D investment will also increase exponentially.
"Well……"
Yan Sheng is still quite honest:
"But if we provide technical support, how much will your company pay for the R&D expenses?"
“Tsk!!!”
However!
Before Yan Sheng could finish his cautious words!
Then Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips!
Yan Sheng nodded immediately: "I will participate in this technical support on behalf of Yiyou."
"Why--"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao nodded slowly with satisfaction, and then cast her eyes on the angry Li Xiaofeng next to Yan Sheng: "Director Li?"
"ah……"
Li Xiaofeng felt a little numb.
There are two families now!
Xun Teng and Yi Yu!
The two largest comprehensive game manufacturers in the country announced that they would provide technical support.
This is the top mercenary team in the country!
Most companies can't even afford to hire one, but Golden Wind hired two without any hesitation!
Now you want to... take us with you?
However, when Li Xiaofeng was still surprised, Yan Sheng on the side secretly poked his thigh, tilted his head, and hinted at him with his eyes: Oi! Be sensible and don't hesitate, otherwise you may not be able to survive in the Shudao Mountain.
"Ah-ah! Oh good! Good!"
Li Xiaofeng received the signal and nodded repeatedly:
"Then we, Nuyan, will also provide technical support."
"...Zhen Ting can provide technical support."
"... Phantom Technology provides technical support."
"...all staff members of the Wind Studio provided technical support."
“…”
that's all!
Follow Shen Miaomiao and look all the way!
Wherever he went, all the participating manufacturers were shocked and confused, and said they could provide corresponding technical support!
Even later on, Jiang Yingcai was dumbfounded!
It's such a fucking loss!
What kind of local rich man’s style is this?
All mercenaries?
finally!
After a full circle of questions!
Except for a few studios that currently have projects on hand, the rest of the studios expressed their deep regret that they simply could not spare any manpower.
Among the more than 20 manufacturers of all sizes that participated in the meeting, two-thirds of them became technical mercenaries for the research and development of the [Golden Engine]!
Seventeen in total!
Roughly speaking, this will be a giant R&D team of more than 2,500 people!
Shen Miaomiao even cried out in joy!
Clapping his hands in satisfaction:
"Well - in this way, the development time can be shortened!"
