Chapter 82: I, Shen Miaomiao, have invested in this project!
Fog grass——
It’s time for a big job!
Even with Gu Sheng's experience, he couldn't help but shudder after hearing Jiang Yingcai's words!
This is a major game development event!
Continental level!
In other words, once Golden Wind chooses to participate, no matter what the final result is, it means that they have stepped out of the country and begun to extend their tentacles to the world!
Of course!
This was just one of the things that secretly surprised Gu Sheng.
Another point, and the most important one!
These are Jiang Yingcai’s last words——
The e-sports event for this winning game will be held at the Zhongjing Bird's Nest!
This amount is too heavy!
As a seasoned man, others couldn’t understand the meaning of Jiang Yingcai’s words, so could Gu Sheng not understand it either?
Huayu Electronics, as one of the organizers and the host of the venue!
If we can't win the championship in our own home, isn't it a bit unreasonable?
Although Jiang Yingcai didn’t say it directly!
But the meaning is already very obvious——
Today, you, Gu Sheng, are the most sought-after supernova game designer in China, and all your works are hits.
Therefore, this time, on behalf of China Entertainment, I invite you to participate in the Asian Esports Game Development Conference, and hope that you can organize an esports event of our own game in our own doorstep.
although!
Today's Golden Wind seems to be far from being able to participate in this level of competition!
but!
I, Jiang Yingcai, as the second in command of the Huayu Electric Board of Directors, am willing to help you get an opportunity.
While helping Huayu Electronics, we are also helping you take a step towards the world.
Furthermore, regardless of whether you succeed or fail this time, Huayu Electronics, as a semi-official organization, will always maintain a good relationship with Golden Wind in the future.
Even if you can really succeed this time, when necessary, Huayu Electronics will give you the green light in certain policies and difficult-to-obtain game licenses to help you develop faster and better.
This kind of temptation is undoubtedly huge for Golden Wind!
After thinking for a moment, Gu Sheng slowly spoke:
"It sounds like there are only benefits and no harm. It seems that we have no reason to refuse."
But if that is true!
I guess there is no need for Jiang Yingcai and his group to rush over from Zhongjing to negotiate with them face to face in a polite manner!
On the contrary, it is Golden Wind who should go to Zhongjing to thank them!
This matter is definitely not that simple.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped the key points:
"Then... Chairman Jiang, please forgive me for not knowing much about this level of conference. May I ask the detailed qualifications for participating in this conference?"
"for example--"
“What is the investment amount for a single game?”
clever!
Hearing this, Jiang Yingcai couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up!
Even though Gu Sheng is young and hasn't even graduated from college, this guy is quite smart.
Even smart enough not to look like a student who has only been working for a year.
Instead, it seems like...
A veteran who has been through a lot and knows the ins and outs of the gaming industry?
There's something.
It seems that the fact that Golden Wind has been able to achieve such a great development in such a short period of time is closely related to this kid.
"Hahaha, "
Jiang Yingcai smiled approvingly, nodded and said:
"Director Gu has touched upon the crux of the matter, so I will speak directly."
"The reason why we at Huayu Entertainment came to visit you today is mainly because we consider that with the current size of Golden Wind, it seems a bit difficult for it to participate in this intercontinental conference."
After saying that, Jiang Yingcai waved to the male assistant beside him:
"Xiao Zhao, come and introduce the rules of this developer conference to Director Gu."
"OK,"
Xiao Zhao nodded, smiled at Gu Sheng, then opened the notebook in his hand and began to introduce:
"This developer conference is jointly hosted by China Entertainment Entertainment, Japan's Tokyo Game Club, the Korean E-sports Game Alliance and West Asia Crescent Technology Company,"
"It aims to inject fresh blood into global e-sports games and provide higher-quality e-sports games for the increasingly hot somatosensory cabin market,"
"Each region will have five entries for this conference,"
"Among them, those with a cost of no more than 50 million are small game groups,"
"Those with a cost of 50 million to 100 million are medium-sized game groups,"
"Those with a cost of more than 100 million are large-scale game groups,"
"Of the five places, small games account for 60%, and the remaining two items account for 20% each,"
“After the development deadline, all games will be sold through a temporary platform specially set up by the organizing committee,”
"The selling price is customized within the range specified by the organizing committee,"
"The organizing committee will then make a comprehensive assessment based on a number of criteria including the number of players, game reviews, online time spent by players, and online gaming data,"
“The champion in a single group will be awarded the [Best E-sports Game Category Award]”
“The overall champion will be awarded the [Asia Best E-sports Game Crown Award] and [Asia Best E-sports Game Designer Award], and will be eligible to participate in the Asian Joint E-sports Tournament funded by the organizing committee.”
Speaking of which!
Xiao Zhao paused, then added:
"but……"
“The small game group will not be included in the selection of the Crown Award.”
I knew it!
The last sentence made Gu Sheng's heart skip a beat!
There is no such thing as free lunch in the world!
No wonder Jiang Yingcai and his gang were so polite, it turns out it was because of this!
You must know!
Today, Golden Wind is just a small gaming company with a revenue of tens of millions!
Now, even if they took out all their assets, it would only be around tens of millions!
If you attend this convention, you can only choose the small game group!
but!
As a small gaming group, we are not eligible for the final award, and we cannot meet the expectations of China Entertainment Entertainment to host an e-sports event for our own games at home!
That is to say!
If Golden Wind agreed to Huayu Entertainment's "good intentions", then they would have to find a way to pay for it themselves and at least increase the budget to 50 million!
And that's it!
Golden Wind will take huge risks!
Not to mention whether you can win the championship.
Once the sales situation is not good, players have a bad reputation and sales are sluggish.
Then the entire Golden Wind will be in an irretrievable situation, and may even go bankrupt on the spot!
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng's hands under the table couldn't help but sweat a little.
This is simply gambling with your life!
Looking at Jiang Yingcai who was smiling kindly across from him, Gu Sheng couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart -
Old BK, your map of Yan State is pretty damn long?
On the one hand, he was impressed by my talent in design and wanted to take charge of the Asian motion sensing cabin e-sports game market.
On the other hand, due to the organizing committee, I could not get any financial assistance and had to rely entirely on burning incense and praying to Buddha.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, I suffer alone.
It's difficult.
Don’t think that when he was making Left 4 Dead, Gu Sheng dared to wave his hand and suck back funds like a black hole.
That’s because the quality of Left 4 Dead is there!
Moreover, the cost is only 10 million at most. Even if he fails, it won't be a fatal blow to him. He can make a comeback after a little slowdown!
But what if all the 50 million cost is lost!
It will take at least a year or two for Golden Wind to recover from this shock!
Even worse, if the situation gets worse, they might just close down!
The thought of the Golden Wind disbanding, the three brothers wandering around the world and starting a new life, and little Nezha returning home to marry and inherit the family business.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown, and his hand unconsciously reached for his watch, gently stroking the case.
Click, click, click…
There was silence in the conference room!
You can even hear the sound of the second hand moving.
Damn it.
Gu Sheng cursed himself in his heart.
You have a fucking system, you won’t lose anything, so why should you be afraid of anything?
How come the pot is getting bigger, but my courage is getting smaller?
However, just when Gu Sheng was still hesitating!
Just listen to your side.
Shen Miaomiao chuckled and spoke:
"Thank you, Chairman Jiang, for trusting us. We, Golden Wind, will definitely live up to our mission!"
Shen Miaomiao has been waiting for a long time!
His eyes kept scanning Gu Sheng!
Big brother! Promise it! Where is your confidence! You are calm even when the sky is falling!
Fix it!
Our works are a gamble of life every day!
That fucking cash flow is spinning faster than an F1 engine!
What are you hesitating about!
Shen Miaomiao was so anxious that she almost died.
What a great opportunity to lose money!
With an investment of 50 million, competing with the top designers from all over Asia, one could end up failing if one is not careful!
Even if we take a step back and say that this work did not suffer a huge loss in the end!
But under the cost pressure of 50 million, it is definitely impossible to make a profit in a short period of time!
After all, Gu Sheng said yesterday that the higher the investment, the longer the profit cycle!
The road to survival with an investment of 10 million cannot even pay back within a week.
It will take at least a month to get a return on investment for this game that cost 50 million!
It will definitely be a loss!
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao has been waiting for Gu Sheng to nod in agreement!
But who would have thought that this time, Old Gu seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He kept hesitating and didn't dare to take action!
If Shen Miaomiao hadn't been hindered by the system regulations, she would have whispered in Gu Sheng's ear, "Don't be afraid, I have a system. The more we lose, the more Golden Wind will earn. We will never fail"!
After waiting for a long time, Lao Gu still didn't nod.
Out of desperation, Shen Miaomiao had to speak up herself!
This project! I, Shen Miaomiao, invested in it!
ah?!
As soon as these words came out!
Jiang Yingcai and Gu Sheng were shocked at the same time!
Jiang Yingcai was extremely surprised.
Gu Sheng, on the other hand, was filled with shock and astonishment.
I am so...
Gu Sheng really wanted to pick her up and throw her out of the meeting room.
Can you agree to something like this so easily?
You don't even consider it!
What's more, the conference will open by the end of this month, and the groups will have to be determined, and once the groups are determined, the costs will have to be prepared!
Yes!
This time, they can no longer make games while eating the recovered funds!
Because according to the requirements of the organizing committee, in order to be fair, it is necessary to prevent manufacturers from making additional investments privately.
Projects participating in the conference must lock in the project's rated cost before the conference begins, and all subsequent cost expenditures for game production must be paid from this account.
During the game production period, the organizing committee staff will conduct random inspections from time to time.
Once unclear or problematic accounts are discovered, the participant will be disqualified on the spot and will be permanently blacklisted.
So here comes the question!
Gu Sheng looked at Little Nezha in surprise: You are so good at pretending! Where does our money come from?
Others don’t know our situation and think that you have Shen’s Capital behind you, so eighteen million seems to be nothing to Golden Wind.
But don’t you have any idea in your heart?
Since the founding of Golden Wind, has your father ever given us a penny?
Seeing the surprise in Gu Sheng’s eyes.
Shen Miaomiao also understood what he meant and waved her hand under the table to indicate that it was okay.
She knows what's going on.
now!
Left 4 Dead is still selling like hot cakes, and other games are also generating steady revenue!
Ends at the end of this month!
According to the total calculation by Sister Chuchu and the financial lady, it is estimated that the funds recovered can reach about 38 million.
In other words, as long as she pays another 12 million, she can perfectly make up the 50 million cost!
And now!
In her little piggy bank there is the newly arrived, steaming hot 10 million yuan!
Just save a little more and you will have 50 million!
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb!
Doing business is all about making money!
I am reluctant to let go of the 18 million. When will I be able to afford a big yacht?
As a woman, you have to be a little harder on yourself!
It’s just 10 million, invest!
Only if you are willing to invest, can the small treasury be further expanded!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but feel excited!
It seems that the bigger the game becomes, the more money you will lose!
I saw the president nodded!
Jiang Yingcai and his group sitting across the conference table were also relieved.
Nodding, Jiang Yingcai took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Shen Miaomiao:
"Ms. Shen is very courageous. It is true that a noble family produces a woman of extraordinary generosity!"
"No, no,"
Being praised like this, Shen Miaomiao was delighted:
"We will definitely try our best!"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao showed a harmless smile and added in her heart: But whether it is a loss or not is not up to me to decide.
…
"Leader, take care. We will do our best here. Don't worry...Okay, okay..."
Swoosh——
As Jiang Yingcai and the others' car drove away, Gu Sheng's fake smile disappeared, and he looked helplessly at the smiling little Nezha:
"Fifty million, you promised me that very readily. Where can we get it?"
"The project will be officially launched at the end of the month, so there is still time."
Shen Miaomiao waved her hand, signaling Gu Sheng not to worry:
"Don't worry, if I don't have enough money, I can go beg from Old Shen."
Gu Sheng shrugged ambiguously: "I think this matter is uncertain."
"Why--"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao stretched out her scallion-white fingers and pressed them against Gu Sheng's mouth:
"I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel."
Gu Sheng was silent for five seconds: "...Shen Miaomiao, if you continue to act awkwardly, I will resign."
"No, no, no, hey,"
Shen Miaomiao hurriedly grabbed Gu Sheng's sleeve, smiling awkwardly:
"I'm just kidding, just kidding. This family can't live without you, Lao Gu..."
Seeing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
But jokes are just jokes.
Now, in addition to insufficient funds, Gu Sheng is faced with a bigger problem -
What kind of game should I release to ensure a steady profit?
