Chapter 62 The third generation of rich people who invest in their dreams
"More... special?"
Lu Zhixing felt that there was something in Professor He Cheng's words.
Professor He Cheng coughed twice: "Yes, this is a relatively high emotional intelligence statement."
Lu Zhixing was very curious, what is the term for low emotional intelligence? The rules of this competition are very strange? The brain circuit is strange? The organizer is not a normal person?
Professor He Cheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's hard to explain clearly in just a few words what makes it so special.
"By the way, this competition was held last year. Do you know which game won the first prize last year?"
Lu Zhixing: "I don't know, but I should have heard of it, right?"
However, when Professor He Cheng said the name slowly, Lu Zhixing looked confused and completely unfamiliar.
"This game is called "Mecha Legend"."
Seeing Lu Zhixing's confused expression, Professor He Cheng laughed: "You haven't heard of it, right? It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this game died suddenly after it was released, and it was so cold that there was no sound. It's normal that you haven't heard of it.
."
Lu Zhixing couldn't help but look back in awe.
You know, this game won the first prize last year, which means that it has a guaranteed R&D fund of 10 million, which is not a small amount of money. Moreover, a game that can be favored by investors should also
It wasn't much different, so Lu Zhixing felt that he should have heard of the name at least.
Who would have expected that a game that cost such a huge amount of money would die suddenly upon release?
How is this done?
Judging from the name of the game, it seems to be a mecha theme. This theme is not popular in China, but as long as the quality of the game is decent, it should make some splash.
Professor He Cheng explained: “This matter starts with the theme of last year’s ‘Dream Building Game Competition’.
“The theme of the Dream Building Game Competition is randomly selected, and the theme drawn last year was: driving simulation games.
"As a result, many outstanding independent game producers and even heads of some small studios came to participate, and a series of excellent works such as "Simple Flight Simulator" and "Domestic Truck Simulator" emerged."
Lu Zhixing was stunned for a moment: "Wait a minute, I have heard of these two games. Aren't they still on the best-selling list of simulation games on the official platform?"
Professor He Cheng nodded: "Yes."
Those who didn't win the first prize were all on the best-seller list, but the one who won the first prize died violently? This...
Professor He Cheng laughed and explained: "If you knew what kind of game "Mecha Legend" is, you would understand.
“Because this time it’s a driving simulator theme, “Mecha Legend” is a mecha driving simulator!”
"Mecha driving simulator?" Lu Zhixing couldn't help but be in awe, "Then how to drive?"
Professor He Cheng explained: "This is the unique thing about this game. Its designer has specially designed a peripheral for this game. This peripheral is a completely self-designed operating device. It has a total of
Divided into four parts:
"There is a rudder for each left and right hand, with a fire button and other auxiliary driving buttons on the rudder; there is a control panel in the center with more than a dozen status lights, radio knobs and various function keys; and there are three game steering wheels under the feet.
foot pedal.
"This device has more than fifty buttons, and the player has to use both hands and feet. Even starting the mecha requires pressing five different buttons in sequence.
"The most outrageous thing is that if the mecha is damaged and about to explode, the player must perform an ejection operation, otherwise the player's character will be permanently deleted when the mecha explodes.
"By the way, this machine costs 1,600 yuan. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to play this game."
Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment: "The term for high emotional intelligence is that this is a genius idea that transcends the times."
Professor He Cheng laughed loudly: "Yes, the term for low emotional intelligence is a bit whimsical!
"Of course, this game died suddenly for more than just these reasons. Although the designer had made successful small-scale independent games, he had no experience in managing large projects.
"So, after receiving the 10 million yuan in funding, he began to recruit a large number of people. However, there were some problems with personnel control and project management. The research and development progress was slowed down, and many of the original ideas were not realized.
It could only be released in a hurry when the money was about to run out. The game itself was not perfect, and there was no extra money for publicity, so it died silently."
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "But these things... If a senior game producer like you, Professor He, could predict it as soon as he sees the design draft, right?
"Those investors in this game design competition, even if they don't understand the game, they should always find a consultant to check it? How can they award the first place to this kind of game?"
In Lu Zhixing's view, the failure of "Mecha Legend" is simply doomed.
Even if a general simulation game launches special peripherals, it will also provide players with keyboard, mouse, controller and other operating modes. How can they be directly bundled like this?
What's more, the development cost of this project is high and the management is difficult. Not to mention the game itself, just which manufacturer to find for the peripheral console of this game, how to ensure quality control and other issues are enough for an inexperienced producer to drink
Of the pot.
No matter from any point of view, this game cannot compare with other entries such as "Simple Flight Simulator" and "Domestic Truck Simulator".
As Professor He Cheng has repeatedly emphasized: Cost control is the first lesson in game design. At least the cost control of "Simple Flight Simulator" and "Domestic Truck Simulator" are excellent, and the basic design is also a proven successful sample.
These can be seen intuitively from the design plan.
No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for "Mecha Legend" to win first place in this game design competition.
"Professor He, is this what you said, that the rules of this game design competition are special?"
Professor He Cheng nodded: "Yes, do you still remember what this competition is called?"
Lu Zhixing recalled: "Dream Building Game Design Competition."
"Yes, build dreams!" Professor He Cheng explained: "The original intention of this game competition is to build dreams for designers with unrestrained imagination. Therefore, "Simple Flight Simulation" and "Domestic Truck Simulation" are considered by the organizers
Come on, it's not as dreamy as "Mecha Legend", so naturally it won't get the first place.
"Of course, these two games later received investment from other investors present. However, the initiator of this competition, the second-generation rich man surnamed Li, still defied all opinions and resolutely transferred these thousand
The bonus of 10,000 yuan was given to "Mecha Legend".
"After all, this ten million is his own money. Naturally, other investors can't say anything to whoever he wants to give it to."
After hearing this, Lu Zhixing finally understood the root of the problem.
It’s all because of this rich second generation!
From the many game design plans that can really make money, you accurately found the "most dreamy" one that is easiest to waste money on, and then pushed it to the first place against all the opinions?
I have to say, this guy has something.
Lu Zhixing asked: "How dare I ask who this rich second generation is?"
Professor He Cheng said: "You know Fuhui Capital, right? This is an investment company that originated in Jingzhou, and they are present in many fields in China.
"This second-generation rich man, oh no, to be precise, he should be the third-generation rich man. His name is Li Rushan, and he is the only son of Li Chengyan, the current head of Fuhui Capital."
Lu Zhixing said in surprise: "The background is indeed not small."
Lu Zhixing has heard of Li Chengyan's name. This can be called a big shot in the investment community, and he has his shadow behind many emerging companies. However, judging from the reputation in the world, although Li Chengyan is powerful,
Still far behind his father, Li Shi, the founder of Fuhui Capital.
After all, that is a legend in the investment world with an investment success rate of close to 80%.
Professor He Cheng said: “It’s very interesting to talk about.
"Li Shi, Li Chengyan, and Li Rushan, these three generations were named by Li Shi. The original meaning was, of course, the hope that future generations would become stronger and better than themselves.
“From an ordinary stone, to a huge rock, and then to a towering mountain, just like Fuhui Capital, it continues to grow and develop.
“It’s just that these talented entrepreneurs will always encounter the same headache, which is the problem of succession for future generations.
"It's better for Li Chengyan's generation. Although his talent is far less than that of his father, fortunately Fuhui Capitalist has a great business and he is diligent and down-to-earth. With his father's guidance and the help of people around him, he can take over the job smoothly.
Let Fuhui Capital continue to grow and develop.
"But when it comes to Li Rushan... something goes wrong."
