Chapter 449: Make a Fortune! Unprecedented Wild Rebate!
Here, we have to talk about the particularity of Shen Miaomiao's project documents.
In fact, originally, Shen Miaomiao was planning to take advantage of the opportunity of developing her own engine to make a huge loss.
After all, the charging model of an engine limits its capital recovery speed.
Not to mention a year or two.
As far as she knows, even the top engines on the market generally find it difficult to make a profit within three to five years.
Therefore, she was thinking of forming a mercenary group frantically, increasing the development cost of the engine as much as possible, and then directly raising the rebate multiplier to 100, and then just wait to collect the money.
However.
The opposite happened.
Just as Shen Miaomiao was happily preparing to launch the project, a small accident happened -
The system determined that their subjective intention of "self-developed and self-used" for this engine was stronger.
Therefore, in order to prevent the host from maliciously using rule bugs, although in theory the nature of the Golden Engine is still a "commercial engine", it is classified as a "self-developed engine" in the system's judgment.
The system is not a fool that will let you get something for nothing.
Shen Miaomiao had to admit this reluctantly.
From a subjective point of view, the Golden Engine was indeed developed to solve their embarrassing situation of having no engine available, and the demand for external business is indeed lower than that for self-development and self-use.
However, according to system regulations, the engine cost of this kind of "self-developed engine" cannot be calculated as a separate item.
In order for the document to be valid, it is necessary to combine "engine development" and "work project" into one.
Only when a complete set of "investment and development - finished product sales" process is formed can the document project be established.
That is to say!
Now there is this project document [Main Project: Golden Engine] in Shen Miaomiao’s system.
Its total cost of $355 million includes $120 million for engine development and $235 million for Battlefield development.
In fact, originally, Payday, as a test work, should have been included in the invoice amount.
However, because Shen Miaomiao singled out "Payday" as the main project, she used it as the main project to derive the "John Wick" movie sub-project.
Therefore, the costs and revenues of "Payday" were all deducted and calculated separately.
The operation is a bit complicated, but it is in line with the fair and rigorous logical settings of the system.
Even so, Shen Miaomiao's original idea of "getting a hundred times return for nothing" is impossible to achieve.
But from another perspective, this is equivalent to adding an additional engine cost of up to 120 million US dollars on top of the original game development cost!
120 million dollars!
If they hadn't developed their own engine, there was no way they would have been able to invest such a high amount of money all at once!
So in summary!
No matter how you calculate it, this document is absolutely beneficial to Shen Miaomiao!
The invoice has a total cost of up to 355 million!
It completely surpassed the cost of all games in their history and became the most expensive game to date!
Take into account the fact that the commission has been maintained at a constant 25% over the years?
In other words, if they want to make a profit from this Battlefield game, their revenue needs to reach 473 million US dollars!
What makes Shen Miaomiao even more excited is that this time the basic rebate period is only one week!
What is the concept?
This is based on the selling price of Battlefield: Rise of $60 per copy.
In order to make a profit, they need to sell 7.88 million copies of the game in just one week!
And as of now!
The work with the best single-week sales in the history of Golden Wind is "It Takes Two", which sold five million copies.
Can Battlefield surpass It Takes Two?
Shen Miaomiao doesn't think so.
God knows how full the BUFF of "It Takes Two" was back then!
Nowadays, although "Battlefield" is also very popular, it is still slightly inferior to "It Takes Two".
Of course!
Having said that, Shen Miaomiao did not dare to be arrogant. She was greedy and extended the number of days for the rebate.
Just one week! Ten times!
Whatever loss you can make, that’s it!
She also saw through it and knew that gamblers would not have a good ending.
Instead of going crazy every day with the mentality of trying to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, it is better to be honest and cautious about the orders that you are not absolutely sure of, and you can earn ten times the rebate.
Four years!
Shen Miaomiao snorted in her heart.
She has been fighting wits and courage with this damn system for four years. If she still hasn't figured out the system's routine, then she is too stupid!
Just bet ten times!
I just don't believe this game could sell 7.88 million copies in just one week!
Just thinking about it!
Buzz——
Buzz——
Suddenly, the alarm on my cell phone rang.
Shen Miaomiao jumped up from the sofa and patted Gu Sheng anxiously:
"Hurry, hurry, Lao Gu, there's only one minute left, it's almost there, please call Huayu TV!"
Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"You sound like you're going to the West to ask for help from the Buddha..."
Hey, that's not a bad thing to say.
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao showed an ambiguous smile on her little face.
Whoever makes me lose money is the Buddha.
Over the years, I have worshiped everyone from Guan Yu to Jesus Christ. No matter where the gods are from, they are all my wishing wells.
It doesn’t matter who I worship, what matters is who can get me the rebate.
"I'm ready!"
As Gu Sheng opened the data statistics background of Huayu Electronics.
Shen Miaomiao also covered her eyes, just like when she and Gu Sheng witnessed the sales data of "Left 4 Dead" in the company's conference room.
A moment.
The room seemed to have fallen into silence.
And after this brief silence, Shen Miaomiao only felt a touch of warmth like a dragonfly touching the water, lightly touching her delicate and tempting lips.
"Hello--"
Shen Miaomiao covered her eyes and her face turned red. She bit her lips and said coquettishly:
"You bad guy, is this what I mean when I say I'm ready...?"
"ah?"
Gu Sheng pretended to be dumbfounded, but his tone could hardly conceal the smirk of triumph:
"Isn't that what you meant? I thought you..."
Only half of it!
Suddenly, Gu Sheng's words were cut off in mid-air:
"...Ward...fa..."
Hearing this!
Shen Miaomiao's heart couldn't help but skip a beat!
etc!
What's the meaning of your surprised tone?
What kind of sales volume can make even your old Gu gasp?
Could it be that...
Shivering!
Shen Miaomiao slowly opened the fingers that were covering her eyes, and tremblingly glanced at the projection screen through her fingers!
On the big screen, the first week sales of Battlefield: Rise were clearly displayed.
【Global total sales: 4.88 million sets】
A work that uses China's first self-developed engine for the next-generation motion sensing cabin.
This is a work that was jointly created by the two major studios of Golden Wind under the comprehensive ban of Vivendi, the global gaming giant.
A work that was not favored by everyone in the early stages and was met with countless suspicions and doubts.
A work that carries the arrogant slogan "Make CNFPS Great Again".
It has become the second best-selling game in the world in a single week of Golden Wind to date.
Rise.
Just like the subtitle of the game.
This work means that Golden Wind has truly achieved its own self-developed rise.
For Gu Sheng!
This was a result that made him breathe a sigh of relief!
This means that from now on, Golden Wind will truly be "totally invincible"!
There is no threat of listed capital!
No outsourcing team holding you hostage!
No core technology constraints!
The strongest shield has been forged at this moment, and the Golden Wind is about to change from defense to active attack!
As for Shen Miaomiao——
This sales volume is even more explosive!
4.88 million sets!
Such a terrifying result!
I have to say, it’s hard to imagine that this is a game created using an engine that was just successfully developed by the company!
but!
Just as she expected!
The cost is as high as 473 million US dollars, not to mention for their game.
Even if we look at the entire gaming industry, no one can achieve a payback period in a single week!
4.88 million sets! Total sales of $293 million!
For the cost of a single game, this result is absolutely explosive, and it is even enough for them to achieve the amazing feat of "3S-level game paying back in a single week"!
And at this time!
The $120 million investment in engine development worked wonders and created a miracle!
Total cost of $473 million, minus total sales of $293 million -
[Ding! Time is up! This round of investment settlement is completed! ]
【Main Project: Golden Engine】
[Project investment amount: $473 million]
[Project settlement time: 7 days (+0 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 10 times (+0 times)]
Current revenue: $293 million
[Project loss amount: $180 million]
[Project rebate amount: 1.8 billion dollars]
[Ding! Your debit card account 1118 received $1,800,000,000 deposited in foreign exchange transfer, the balance...]
One! Eight! Hundred million! Knives!
Arrived!!!
take off!!!
See you right now!
Shen Miaomiao's eyes were a little moist!
I have a day like this too? I have a day like this too!
1.8 billion!
Thinking back to the past!
One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is enough to make me excited, and eighty million is enough to make me cry with gratitude!
Look at now!
Unprecedented wild rebates are at hand!
This is a new version of the ship she has never experienced before!
The means of increasing costs day after day finally led to a qualitative change from quantitative change!
As she said before -
As long as I keep increasing costs, one day, the revenue will not keep up with the costs!
Today!!!
“Woooooo——!!!”
“Yeeeeeeee——!!!”
A moment!
They both jumped up from the sofa at the same time!
Gu Sheng was excited about the true rise of Golden Wind, while Shen Miaomiao was excited about the unprecedented rebate!
Hooking her arms around Gu Sheng's neck, Shen Miaomiao wrapped her legs tightly around Gu Sheng's waist, cheering excitedly like a koala.
Gu Sheng, on the other hand, was holding his little Nezha, happily hugging the child in his arms and rocking him tightly, and the floor under his feet made a clanging sound.
As if realizing that this was not ethical, Gu Sheng took two steps and stopped:
"Were our celebrations a bit too intense?"
"Is it intense?" Shen Miaomiao lightly lifted her black hair, her little face flushed, her eyes shining and cunning.
"Isn't it intense?" Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Hearing this.
Shen Miaomiao bit her thin lips lightly, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she buried her head in Gu Sheng's neck, rubbed and kissed his earlobe, and at the same time, her little hands dishonestly unbuttoned his collar, exhaling softly and saying:
“I don’t think it’s intense enough…”
