Compared with the profit model created by Legang Technology and the diversified development routes of Kaiying Network, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had a higher vision after visiting other companies. Although these companies have made some achievements in the industry, after in-depth analysis,
After inspection, everything seemed unremarkable.
They stayed in Shenghai for two days and visited all the companies on the list, but they could not find any company they liked.
They did not waste any time and decided to leave for Xiamen early tomorrow morning.
But when she arrived in Shenghai this evening before departure, Liu Yifei would naturally not forget a very important check-in place in her life - Shenghai Century Park.
This is the Garden of Eden where she and Chu Xuan first fell in love, and it is also the starting point for recording their time together.
She came here for the first time when she confessed her love at the age of 16. She came here for the second time last year when she was a commercial spokesperson for "Kart Racing", and tonight is her third time here.
It's just different from the previous two times. This time, in addition to her and Chu Xuan, there is also mother.
Liu Xiaoli had heard of the place where her daughter confessed her love to Chu Xuan, but she had never been there.
This time she came with her two children, and she was a little interested for a while.
"Come on, tell me, where did you express your love?"
The bright moon is in the sky and the sky is clear, but the temperature is only 5 degrees, and with the sea breeze blowing on my face, there is also a chilly feeling.
But Liu Xiaoli was not disgusted by the cold wind. Instead, she enthusiastically asked the question that was of great interest to her.
The street lamp was not far away, and the illumination became faint.
Liu Yifei held Chu Xuan's hand and stood on the lawn. She followed the faint light to find the tree she remembered so vividly. She stretched out her hand and pointed to a few meters in front of the tree: "That's right there."
With that said, she and Chu Xuan walked over.
Liu Xiaoli followed them, and when she came closer, she said, "Xiaoxuan, did you reject Qianqian's confession the first time?"
Before Chu Xuan spoke, Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, looked at her mother and said angrily: "I was so sad at that time that I cried so hard."
She glanced at Chu Xuan and snorted.
Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Auntie, you treat Qian Qian as a treasure. At that time, I was mainly afraid that you would chop me with a knife."
Liu Yifei, who was pretending to be angry, suddenly burst into laughter when she heard Chu Xuan's words.
Liu Xiaoli showed her face and said: "Am I so scared? If you are scared, why did you accept it?"
Chu Xuan said fondly: "When love comes, just let it take its course. A girl is so calm and not afraid of anything. I am not a man enough if I am still hesitant."
After hearing his words, Liu Yifei tightened her hand and held his.
Chu Xuan flipped his palms, clasped his fingers with hers, and said: "If I hadn't accepted it that day, then Sissi and I would always be people in two different worlds. At that time, my idea in my heart was still to be a teacher in school, or
I opened a company with Sister Hua to work behind the scenes."
Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly. She knew this. Wang Jinhua said that at that time, Chu Xuan only wanted to be a salted fish.
Just because of this love and Qian Qian, Chu Xuan has undergone earth-shaking changes from the inside out.
In this weather and at night, there were few people in the park.
In this quiet and peaceful environment, Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan and her mother on the path of first love in her memory.
"The human heart is made of flesh. This sentence seems to be well confirmed in me." Chu Xuan suddenly felt interesting and said: "In the past, I just thought about being a teacher in school, opening a company with my sister and working behind the scenes."
It was enough to come up with an idea and spend my life leisurely without any shortage of money. At that time, I was still very firm in this idea and thought that no one could change me."
"What about now?" Liu Yifei looked at him curiously.
Chu Xuan and her looked at each other: "I never thought that I would change because of you. Under the catalysis of love, I want to protect you, you want to be an actor, and I want to let you act what you want to act.
Everything, then I must have this ability and be at the top of the industry, so it gradually developed into what it is now."
Liu Xiaoli walked forward with a happy smile. Her daughter was on Chu Xuan's right, so she walked to Chu Xuan's left and reached out to touch his shoulder.
Chu Xuan let out a breath, and under the dim light, his breath gradually drifted away: "In the beginning, I was really thinking mainly about you, but as we developed, the situation gradually escalated, and the network of relationships and interests involved became more and more complicated.
As I grow older, in this process, passively or actively, my ambitions are also stimulated, and my initial goals become more and more far-reaching."
Liu Yifei shook her head cutely and said: "Me too, at first I just wanted to be an actor. Who would have thought that I would have so many goals and pursuits now. I also like you because of your likes, and then I gradually fell in love with you completely.
I love you, maybe it’s because we have the same personality deep down that leads to all this, and maybe this is true career fusion.”
Liu Xiaoli put her left hand in her pocket and put her right hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder, saying: "It's still because of love, otherwise how could you like the other person?"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded, each raised their eyebrows at each other, and played a playful little trick.
Liu Xiaoli smiled at this scene and added: "Life is like this, you never know at which turning point your current situation and thoughts will change."
Chu Xuan agreed: "What does this mean? People must not set a flag for themselves, otherwise they will be slapped in the face every minute."
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli laughed and felt happy.
We chatted all the way, walked back and forth along the path of our first love, and sat on the bench next to the lake to reminisce about the past.
When it gets dark and they have to catch a flight tomorrow, the family will return.
"These are all your beautiful memories. In a love, the more beautiful memories there are, the purer the love. When one day you forget these memories, it means that your relationship is at the beginning of deterioration."
"If you really feel like this one day in the future, you might as well put down everything in your hands and walk together in the traces of the past to feel the innocence of the past."
Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were stunned.
For Liu Yifei, when did her mother become so artistic?
For Chu Xuan, the mother-in-law who has experienced mature love really has something in her heart!
"Auntie, why don't you write a book in your free time? This level is acceptable." Chu Xuan teased.
"I will be your first book fan." Liu Yifei joked.
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and smiled, and did not continue the topic.
Seeing her like this, the young couple stopped talking.
"Let's go back and get some rest early. We'll catch a flight tomorrow morning."
The family got into the nanny car and headed to the hotel.
…
At noon the next day, a plane from Shenghai landed slowly at Xiamen Airport.
The last time I came to Xiamen was to attend a fashion show in May last year.
Now, more than half a year has passed, and when I come back to Xiamen, the first thing I feel is the change in temperature.
It was 45 degrees Celsius in Shenghai and 18 degrees Celsius in Xiamen, making a family of three wearing winter fleece jackets feel hot.
Liu Xiaoli was already prepared and had spring clothes in her suitcase. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went to the booked hotel and quickly changed into them to adapt to the climate here.
After making some adjustments and having lunch in the hotel, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei started their trip to inspect the company and set off for the corresponding company.
Xiamen Halo Information Technology is a technology company integrating game development, animation design, and visual effects design as its main business.
At first glance, these businesses look like a high-tech company.
However, the downturn in domestic animation and the high costs of advertising visual effects and film and television visual effects have also made this type of business unsmooth, making this company sound high-end, but in fact it is a bit embarrassing.
The main profit comes from the development of web games, and other businesses have not developed.
For this reason, the boss of this company integrated internal resources and let the animation design department and visual effects design department serve web games.
It was this decision that made this company famous in the web game industry.
Think about it, animation represents perfect modeling, and visual effects represent exquisite pictures and character skill special effects. The combination of the two is presented in the form of a game, which is enough to beat most of the shoddy-looking games on the market.
Based on this, the development philosophy and characteristics of this company are already very clear. The pictures and characters should be exquisitely designed, and they should follow the route of high-quality web games.
This is what Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei learned from the information, and the so-called boutique route attracted them.
Whether it is Legang Technology in Hangzhou or Kaiying Network in Shenghai, the former has a profit model and the latter has a diversified development route, each with its own characteristics.
Obviously, this Halo Technology also has its own characteristics.
Distinctive companies always represent different development potentials.
"Mr. Chu, Miss Liu, welcome."
In the parking lot outside the office building, the company's CEO Bi Qiu and a group of senior executives walked towards them.
Mandarin in Fujian Province is a major feature. It sounds a bit contrary to the formal pronunciation. For example, the word "huan" for welcoming sounds like "fan".
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei found it quite interesting and walked up to shake hands with everyone.
"Hi, Mr. Bi, you came suddenly and abruptly," Chu Xuan said.
"It would be great if Mr. Chu and Miss Liu can come over." Bi Qiu is in his early thirties, has a crew cut, and is about 1.7 meters tall, but he talks like a high-minded speaker with a loud voice.
It looks very generous and generous.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei followed everyone into the office building and got into the elevator.
What the young couple didn't expect was that there was their promotion in the elevator.
There is a small square-shaped light box advertisement on the silver wall on one side of the elevator. In the advertisement, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are wearing trendy clothing from last year's fashion show.
Bi Qiu looked at it and saw two people looking at him in the advertisement. He couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Chu and Miss Liu came to participate in the fashion show last year. They are very famous in our Xiamen. Now there are more of you in various commercial streets."
Clothing advertisements can be seen everywhere.”
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled and nodded. Xiamen is a fashionable city. Their fashion show last year must have caused a certain amount of product sales, which made the endorsement merchants increase their publicity efforts.
Taking the elevator to the corresponding floor of the company, surrounded by Bi Qiu and a group of senior executives, the young couple walked into the company door and received a warm welcome from the employees.
Bi Qiu also took two people to visit the office area and introduced them. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei listened and nodded.
Compared to Kaiying Network, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have higher investment intentions in this company.
By adding animation design and visual effects design to web games, within their cognitive scope, this company is currently unique in the web game industry.
As an investor, you are often more interested in investing in such companies.
The young couple listened to the introduction while watching the technician working on the computer. Compared with the games of other companies they inspected in Hangzhou and Shenghai a few days ago, the game screen on the screen was not completely different, but it was definitely the same.
See high and low at a glance.
"The picture looks great, I think it's as good as Duanyu." Liu Yifei covered her mouth and whispered in Chu Xuan's ear.
"And the characters all tend to be in the Q version, they look so exquisite." She admired them, and the Q version of the characters were very attractive to her.
Compared with other companies she has inspected, she feels that this company's game features are particularly obvious.
Chu Xuan nodded, but he was thinking about another issue.
The game graphics are very beautiful, but compared with the development teams of other companies, this company's development team has two more departments: animation design and visual effects design. The labor cost is undoubtedly very high.
Bi Qiu said: "Mr. Chu, does this game look good? It's even better than some PC games."
He is very proud that the web games developed by his company are more beautiful than some PC games, and he has the capital to be proud of.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slightly, Chu Xuan said: "But the cost of development is high, right?"
Bi Qiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Mr. Chu would explain the dilemma in one word.
He calmed down, this Mr. Chu must be professional and well prepared.
Bi Qiu sighed: "Mr. Chu is right. The addition of animation design and visual effects design is equivalent to the labor cost of more than ten technical personnel. Compared with the current market, the cost has indeed increased."
Bi Qiu said with excitement: "However, relying on the company's design concept of exquisite game graphics, our game users are growing day by day, the game profits are still considerable, and the increase in costs has also been reported."
Chu Xuan nodded, looked at the office area, and found that the company was pitifully small. The entire company's total area was estimated to be less than 200 square meters.
"How many development teams does your company have?" he asked.
Bi Qiu was stunned, and then said: "There is only one, but as the company develops, there will only be more and more development teams."
Chu Xuan ignored his lies and said bluntly: "The addition of animation design and visual effects design has increased the labor cost of developing a game, so there is not much money to continue recruiting people?"
Bi Qiu sneered, but when Chu Xuan told him the truth, he could only nod.
Chu Xuan took a sip of water, put down the disposable cup, and said, "Mr. Bi, I'm here to invest. If you don't tell me the company's plight, how can I consider investing?"
Bi Qiu was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. He only talked about how good the company was, but he didn't expect that he would not be useful in front of this young Mr. Chu.
Chu Xuan added: "I am very optimistic about your company's high-quality game concept. This is a major feature. I just want to know whether this feature can continue to develop."
Chu Xuan's blunt words seemed to give Bi Qiu hope. He nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Chu, as long as there are enough funds, this path is feasible. For two years, our company has relied on this path to make a living. The market has proven that
, players like good-looking things.”
With that said, Bi Qiu led the two of them to the office, picked up a planning document and handed it to them.
"Look, Mr. Chu, this is a unique type of game on the market that we have thought of. I am not hiding it. I hope Mr. Chu can support it." He said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were stunned, a unique game?
Just take this thing out and you're not afraid of them stealing it?
This Mr. Bi is quite courageous.
When he was at Legang Technology, Mr. Wu struggled to come up with the profit plan until the end.
They haven't seen Bi Qiu's heart clearly yet. Mr. Bi is really suffering. He can't pay his salary even after a few months without investment.
There is a price to pay for taking the high-quality game route. The increase in cost will lead to increased publicity, which will increase the promotion of the game and attract more people to play the game and recharge points.
The company relies on its exquisite graphic design concept and has indeed attracted many game fans in the web game industry.
But now the profit limit of web games is set here. The company's monthly labor costs and server maintenance costs are as high as hundreds of thousands. The tax on game recharge is high. In the end, the monthly income and final profit are not much at all.
Therefore, in the industry, it seems that his company is very unique, and many people play the game, but it is of no use and cannot make much money.
Unlike other companies that have multiple development teams, it can develop multiple games at the same time and rely on multiple games to make profits.
The increase in labor costs meant that his company only had one development team, which could only develop one game at a time, and had to seize the opportunity to get the game on the market.
This is really difficult.
"A side-scrolling game? I've never seen this before." Liu Yifei blinked.
The game in the file is "Shenxian Dao". It has a detailed plan and detailed pictures and texts on how to design animation and how to design visual effects. It seems to be a complete plan.
"In the web game industry, there is no game of this type!" Bi Qiu said categorically, and strongly recommended: "With the traditional culture of Chinese myths and legends as the core, players can feel a sense of intimacy right away."
"We then use animation design to give each character a beautiful and flexible character, and then use visual effects to design each character with multiple gorgeous skills that are as cool as the PC game. Using the turn-based combat method that players are familiar with, this is the first time that a side-scrolling game has appeared.
.”
"I'm very confident in this game!"
As he said that, Bi Qiu's face turned pale again and said: "But this is a large-scale web game, and it needs to recruit a group of experienced and mature web2.0 technology developers to complete it together, which requires funds."
Chu Xuan looked at the file and nodded: "This game is good. It has all the functions and designs. It makes me want to play it now. It is very novel."
Bi Qiu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Chu, can I tell you in detail?"
Chu Xuan closed the document: "No need."
Bi Qiu's heart sank and he stopped talking.
"Let's do this, Mr. Bi, wait for my call and come to the capital to have a meal at my house when you are free." Chu Xuan said again.
Bi Qiu was startled. Come to your house for dinner?
He knew exactly what this meant.
Bi Qiu's heart palpitated, and he said with a sweet smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Chu, I'll wait for your call, and I will definitely come when the time comes."
…
In the parking lot outside the office building, Bi Qiu and a group of senior executives put Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei into the car.
Liu Yifei took out the list from her small backpack, took out a pen and put a check mark on the name of Halo Technology Company on the list.
In addition to Halo Technology, Hangzhou's Legang Technology has also been checked, which means that two of the three companies she and Chu Xuan planned to find have been identified.
With a "bang" sound, Chu Xuan closed the door of the business car, looked at the list in Liu Yifei's hand, and said: "Let's also add Kaiying Network, these are the three companies."
Liu Yifei was startled, turned her head to look at him and said, "No more inspections?"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "Legang Technology has profit ideas, Kaiying Network develops in multiple lines, and Halo Technology has high-quality game features. These three companies each have their own characteristics. If they are combined, a brand new one can change the entire web game."
Innovative ideas in the industry can be born, which is enough for us to lead step by step, and others cannot surpass it."
"The variety show still needs us to record, and Brother Liu and his friends also need us to inform them about their screenwriting reform plan. We also need to visit the platform companies here and in Beijing. Let's finish the game company matters as soon as possible."
"It's up to you." Liu Yifei said charmingly, picked up the pen and put a check mark on Kaiying Network's name.
This also means that the purpose of the young couple's trip has been initially determined.
