Chapter 1158 I can't pay in the era of big money loss
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at me and I looked at you, and they fell into silence for a while.
Mingming said before that I would try to minimize trouble for Mr. Pei and complete the homework independently...
Cai Jiadong saw Lin Wan's doubts and advised: "Mr. Lin, the road must be eaten one bite at a time, and the food must be taken step by step. Haste makes waste."
"You want Chi Xing Studio to be independent as soon as possible. This is of course a good idea. But we still have to take into account our actual capabilities."
"If you make your own decisions and make the company go astray and lose money, it would be better to ask Mr. Pei more from the beginning before making a decision. After all, half of our company's investment comes from Tenda, and we have to be responsible for Tenda."
Lin Wan nodded, that was indeed the case.
It’s no problem to worry less about Mr. Pei when designing games, but when it comes to understanding the future of an industry, Mr. Pei can’t do it without trouble!
At the fork in the road that determines the fate of the company, no one except Mr. Pei has the confidence to make this decision.
It is really difficult for Cai Jiadong to answer this question.
Although Lin Wan himself had some information from Lao Song, it was not easy to make decisions based on this information.
After thinking about it, I realized that this was a very important matter, and I really could only ask Mr. Pei for advice.
Even Mr. Pei can't give a specific direction. If you ask, you will always gain something.
Lin Wan sighed softly: "Okay, I'll give Mr. Pei a call."
A few minutes later, Lin Wan hung up the phone: "Mr. Pei said he wanted to come over in person."
Cai Jiadong was overjoyed: "Of course that's good! It's best to talk about this kind of thing in person!"
"I will sort out the current situation so that I can report to President Pei when the time comes!"
…
a few minutes ago.
Pei Qian had just finished breakfast at a nearby bun shop.
Why not go to Moyu Internet Cafe?
Because there are too many people in Moyu Internet Cafe!
In the past, the customer flow of Moyu Internet Cafe was relatively fixed, and they were all regular customers, so it was okay for Pei Qian to go and have a meal.
But now with the popularity of the VR experience area, many people line up at Moyu Internet Cafe early every morning, and those who can't get a seat are waiting in the coffee area. It is difficult for Pei Qian to find a place to stay when he arrives late.
It’s so disappointing that I can’t go to the Internet cafe I own.
Pei Qian fondly remembers the time when Moyu Internet Cafe was first opened. How wonderful it was back then. He was the only one in such a big Internet cafe. He could order whatever he wanted to drink and play games whenever he wanted. All the waiters from the Internet cafe were surrounding him.
It would be great to go around alone.
Unfortunately, the good days are gone forever.
"The same goes for these game media, they are just messing with it!"
"Qiao Laoshi is just talking nonsense. He just said casually that this guy won't feel comfortable if he doesn't boast about his talent for a day."
"People can use Tengda to get some heat, but what are you trying to do with Tengda!"
Seeing various game media and even news media praising the Doubt VR glasses, praising them as "symbolizing the arrival of the VR era" and "establishing the standards for VR games", Pei Qian felt a twinge of pain.
It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!
A few months ago, Pei Qian slapped his forehead and asked Chi Xing Studio to develop VR. The main reason was that he felt that the VR industry was immature and still in its infancy. It was a niche market that could no longer be niche.
With such a large investment, it is probably just to gain word of mouth and not make any money, right?
However, the development of things was completely different from what Pei Qian expected!
Why did it suddenly “establish norms for VR games” and “open the era of VR games”?
It's just an ordinary casual game!
It’s okay for Qiao Laoshi to brag about it, and Pei Qian is not very surprised by this. Anyway, no matter what game Tenda makes, Qiao Laoshi can always find unique points to brag about.
The key is that other game media and players were really fooled by Qiao Laoshi!
Now, Doubt VR and "Animal Island" have ushered in the era of VR games, which has almost become a consensus in the domestic gaming circle and even other circles.
Not only are many companies eager to develop VR games for Doubt VR and break into this blue ocean to look for opportunities, but many other Internet companies are also thinking about getting a share of the pie.
Taking advantage of the popularity of Doubt VR to develop a cheaper VR glasses? Make a VR panoramic video APP?
Or, introduce some foreign VR content?
Now that the VR era has arrived, this is a huge trend, and everyone must hope to get a share of this trend.
This is the case in the Internet age. Everyone wants to find the right outlet to be the pig that gets blown up, without considering that 90% of the pigs will be thrown to death after the outlet passes.
The remaining 10% will probably be stranded and half dead.
Only one person in a million can take advantage of the opportunity to grow into a unicorn giant.
"These people are really hard to think about."
“VR is definitely a dead end!”
Pei Qian couldn't help but mourn their fate.
Because he remembers clearly that the VR industry did have a hot period, but it soon fell silent.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it has been silent. It is still developing slowly, and there are still some new VR companies emerging, but compared to the initial craze, it has cooled down very quickly.
The main reason is that the development speed of equipment cannot keep up with market demand.
Many people like to compare VR with mobile phones, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the differences between the two devices are too big.
Mobile phones are necessities of life, but VR is not; mobile phones are developing very quickly and are being updated quickly, while VR technology is progressing slowly and will not even reach the ideal resolution and refresh rate for several years.
Pei Qian is very sure that Doubt VR has indeed opened an era, but it has opened a false VR era.
The tuyere does appear, but it will disappear quickly.
Those companies that were deceived and rushed in will probably burn through their investment within a year or two and lose all their money.
This is so enviable!
Unlike other companies, Chixing Studio has already eaten its first piece of meat in the VR era, and this bite will make your mouth water.
Even if the entire VR industry cools down in the future, Doubt VR and Chixing Studio will be remembered as the "pioneers of the VR era."
The so-called "pioneer" here does not mean that Chixing Studio is the first company to make VR glasses.
It's just like games. Those that really establish the operating standards of a certain game type are mostly not the first game, but a certain comprehensive game.
Doubt VR is the master of the current VR industry.
Although there have been VR glasses and VR games in the past, they have not unified all these specifications to create a device and game that is well-known, has a mature product form, and has a wide range of influence.
Chi Xing Studio’s logo may be linked to the concept of virtual reality for a long time.
In other words, it is very difficult to lose big money.
For Pei Qian, this is such a sad story.
He clearly single-handedly started an era of huge losses in the VR industry, but he was unable to benefit from this era of huge losses.
When I think about it, I feel that sadness is like a river flowing against the current.
At this moment, Pei Qian's phone rang, and it was Lin Wan calling.
When he saw the caller ID, Pei Qian didn't want to answer it.
Needless to say, this is definitely to bring good news!
Although he was very reluctant, Pei Qian still picked up the call after some mental struggle.
"Mr. Pei, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a little confused about the future development of Chi Xing Studio..."
After hearing Lin Wan express his confusion, Pei Qian was silent for a while.
"Doubt VR has just been confirmed to be successful, and are you considering new projects?"
"This is too anxious!"
"Give yourself and the company a holiday. It's not too late to play for two months before working again!"
"Combining work and rest!"
Pei Qian doesn't want to care about Chi Xing Studio's affairs at all now.
Don't make trouble, I haven't settled the matter yet!
Now let me think about things that need to be considered in the next cycle. Is this because my brain cells are not dying fast enough?
Lin Wan said: "Mr. Pei, aren't you accustomed to thinking about the next step immediately after a project is successful?"
"I think this far-sighted work habit is worth learning."
"I also follow your example, Mr. Pei, and set strict demands on myself with higher standards."
Pei Qian said hehe.
Visionary?
Are you afraid there is some misunderstanding?
I obviously have no choice. If an industry fails and I make money, I can only think of other ways to put out the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, the important task of losing money during the settlement cycle will not be completed!
You don’t have a deadline for losing money during the settlement period, so why are you so anxious!
But these words cannot be said clearly.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go there."
It's not impossible to just ignore it, but the key problem is that if you ignore it, who knows what Lin Wan will do.
Today, Chi Xing Studio is not as famous as it used to be.
No matter what you do, a lot of players will pay attention.
Regardless of whether Lin Wan is making a new VR game or a regular game, as long as she keeps her head down, does it in a down-to-earth manner, and gives full play to her own advantages, she has a high chance of success.
At best, it's not very popular, but I guess it can still make money.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that this matter was not careless and he had to see it for himself.
…
Half an hour later, Pei Qian arrived at Chi Xing's studio and sat down in the conference room with Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong.
"Regarding the future development of Chi Xing Studio... please briefly share your views."
Pei Qian felt that he still had to find out first.
Lin Wan looked at Cai Jiadong: "You go ahead and say it."
Cai Jiadong nodded: "Mr. Pei, my original idea was to continue developing VR games."
"As Qiao Laoshi said, Doubt VR glasses have been successful, and "Animal Island" has also set a standard for VR games."
"If we want to develop VR games next, there are actually many paths we can take."
"For example, make a AAA-level shooting game, or cooperate with other manufacturers to develop VR versions of some successful racing games."
"The probability of success is high, the risk is low, and it can maximize the use of the current popularity of VR, further linking the image of Chixing Studio with the VR industry."
