Last week, Pei Qian was busy with a lot of things.
Over at Feihuang Studio, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo are still doing preparatory work based on Pei Qian's script.
Zhu Xiaoce had to expand the script into the length required for the movie, and also had to urgently recruit some personnel. After the script and storyboards were completed, he would probably have to discuss the script, screen actors, view scenes, etc. There was still a lot to do.
.
Over at Yangyang Games, everyone is still frantically playing horror games to find materials and inspiration. However, Pei Qian estimates that with the work efficiency of Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin, the rough design draft should be released in the next few days.
There are not many things that need to be prepared by the investment company. With the help of He Desheng, Yuanmeng Venture Capital should be able to get on the right track soon.
Detailed recruitment rules for the human resources department are also being formulated. The general process has been finalized, but the specific written examination and interview questions have yet to be finalized, including reception arrangements during the recruitment process, cooperation between various departments, and measures to prevent leaks.
Wait, you still need to prepare better.
As for the mobile phone department, Chang You is already contacting his brothers at Hongcheng Technology. By then, he will find a similar office building in Jingzhou and start formal research and development.
After that, it’s time to make money.
Yesterday, Pei Qian invested 20 million in Yuanmeng Venture Capital.
November 1st and 8th are Mondays, which are also the days when the game share is received.
At the time of settlement on the 31st of last month, the system funds were replenished to 10 million, but this does not mean that Pei Qian only has 10 million at his disposal.
"Ghost General", "Sea Fortress", "Game Maker", "Return to Shore" (including overseas version), "Hot Blooded War Song" mobile game...a lot of games are still providing income.
Taking the mobile game "War Hymn" as an example, the monthly net income is four to five million, and the two-week income is two million.
The follow-up income of "Ghost General" and "Game Producer" are similar to this. "Back to the Shore" is currently at its peak sales period. The domestic and overseas versions combined have a revenue of 7 to 8 million in two weeks.
The income of "Sea Fortress" is more stable than that of "Back to Shore".
In addition, businesses such as Moyu Internet Cafe and RoF, which were negatively affected by sudden spending, are also making profits this month.
Not to mention Ming Yun Private Chef, who is as stable as an old dog, and the finish line that has just started to show off.
Add all of this up, even if you deduct the expenses of a money-burning industry like Headwind Logistics, you can earn more than 10 million in two weeks.
One month's money is almost 30 million.
The settlement cycle this time is five months. During these five months, the income of these games will fluctuate and rise. The income of several stand-alone games will definitely decline, but online games such as "War Song" and "Sea Fortress"
The vitality of games is so tenacious, they are the main source of revenue.
Therefore, Pei Qian's goal is not to spend 10 million in five months, but to spend 150 million in five months.
Moreover, this is only the money that is almost certain to be earned at the moment.
What if a certain project fails before settlement? You still have to make an advance amount.
Even if the system stipulates that 50% of the initial system funds can be used for charity, that is only 5 million.
Therefore, Pei Qian had to spend all his energy.
Pei Qian had almost divided up the current businesses and decided to give 20 million to Yuanmeng Venture Capital first to let Lao Ma practice his skills.
The main reason is that Ma Yang is currently in a state where a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so it is a good time to spend money.
If the money given at the beginning was too small, Ma Yang would only lose one or two million even if he lost money.
What if Ma Yang learns from these failures and invests in successful projects with more money later, isn't that the end of the road?
Therefore, Pei Qian considered giving Lao Ma 20 million directly and asking him to spend it as hard as he could!
As the saying goes, one gains wisdom after suffering a loss. Anyway, as long as the losses suffered in the past are big enough, there is no need to worry about the old horse's intelligence growing too fast in the future.
As for other businesses, the budget must be fully filled before Mr. Pei can share the burden.
Over at Yangyang Games, they have to invest 20 million to develop horror games;
As for Tenda Games, although Pei Qian has not yet decided what game to make, since it is the leading department of the company, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so spending 50 million is not excessive;
Feihuang Studio makes movies. Although the content that can be shot is not much and it is a low-budget movie, it is reasonable to spend more money on special effects. Spending 30 million;
In the mobile phone department, although we do not plan to mass-produce high-end mobile phones, an initial investment of 20 million yuan is necessary. If we find that the mobile phones cannot be sold, we must continue to invest money and continue mass production.
In the end, if you really can’t spend all the money, you can find a department that has not yet produced results for additional investment, and wait until the next cycle.
Of course, there is also a charity fund of 5 million, which can also be used as a final means of spending money unexpectedly.
Anyway, Pei Qian calculated that the situation was not optimistic, but it was still manageable.
These are all overestimates. If everything goes well, the system funds will definitely be reduced by 10 million before settlement.
Pei Qian's goal is not high. When the time comes, he will make a small loss of four to five million, convert it into four or five million, and get a system reward by the way. In the past five months, he will earn a hundred thousand a month, so his hard work will not be in vain.
Of course, this money is not earned all at once. A sum of money will come in every week. You still have to arrange the order of spending money on various projects and continue to invest money. It is impossible to spend all the money at once.
Pei Qian was calculating when someone knocked on the door.
When I looked up, I saw it was Li Yada.
"Pei...Mr. Pei."
"Guys, should we prepare to develop a new game?"
"Or, provide a DLC for "Return to the Shore"?"
"Everyone has a little free time."
Is it okay if you take the initiative to ask for a task?
Pei Qian was quite dissatisfied with this proactive attitude towards work.
But it was hard to say anything, so I could only pretend to be serious and say: "Don't worry, let everyone recharge their batteries. There will be a very important task for you in a while."
Pei Qian himself had not thought about what kind of tasks he would assign to Tenda's game department.
For those regular games, the probability of success is too high, and Pei Qian really can't get interested in them.
Don't throw 50 million into it and create another cash cow. That would be completely different from Mr. Pei's original goal.
Li Yada nodded: "Ah, okay. Mr. Pei, you can call me anytime if you have a mission."
After Li Yada went out, Pei Qian slumped on his seat weakly.
It’s hard to be a boss!
Every day I have to rack my brains to arrange work for these employees. If I just let them idle for a few days, they will come to my door.
It’s hard to believe!
"Ding ding."
I received a message on my phone.
Pei Qian picked up his phone and saw that it was from Chang You.
"Mr. Pei, the team has almost been assembled. I will arrange for someone to decide on the work location this week, and we can officially start work next week."
"Also, our designers here have received moving fees. We are very excited and have already rushed out the Outu Technology logo overnight. Please take a look."
There are pictures below.
Pei Qian clicked on it and found that it was a quite interesting logo.
At first glance, the outside is an approximately rectangular shape, while the inside is two circles stacked in a complex manner.
The rectangle and circle overlap in a special way. One long side of the rectangle twists and turns into a circular side. It can be vaguely seen that this is a change of two capital "t"s.
In other words, this graphic is the product of the combination of the four letters "otto".
At first glance, it looks a bit like a rectangular eye, but inside the eye socket are double pupils.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like a Möbius strip.
Beyond that, the way the two circles in the middle overlap is a bit like the symbol for "infinity" in numbers.
This logo is relatively simple, looks quite classy on a solid color background, and is quite post-modern.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, what a talent.
How can a brand name like Otto be created with such a high-end logo?
When the time comes to stamp this logo on the back cover of a mobile phone, it might really be able to bluff people.
And this isn't the only logo.
The second logo uses two "ten"s and two "○"s to form a shape similar to a handle. The "ten"s are on the upper left and lower right respectively, and the "○" are on the lower left and upper right respectively. The layout is similar to that of a handle.
The two ○ are like the two joysticks of the handle.
This logo is no longer a solid color, the shape has become more complex, and the colors are also very bold, making it easy for people to associate with game elements.
The third logo is the most satisfactory one. It is just a row of capital letters with otto. It is round and straight. It looks pretty decent and is in line with the usual style of a technology company.
The designer came up with three options, namely:
abstract type;
Game type;
Letter type.
It should be that Mr. Pei is planning to decide on one.
Pei Qian looked at them and found that they were all good, so he replied: "They are all good. Let's keep them all for now. After the mobile phone design is completed, it will not be too late to decide which solution to use."
…
…
Friday, November 12th.
Pei Qian planned to go to Dream Venture Capital and meet Ma Yang.
I originally wanted to go yesterday, but it happened to be Double 11 and Pei Qian bought some random things online, so he was delayed.
The courier hasn't arrived yet today, so I can just go to Lao Ma's place for a walk.
The 20 million yuan invested in Yuan Meng Venture Capital had already been transferred as early as Monday. It has been five days since then, and part of the money should have been spent.
However, Pei Qian estimated that based on Ma Yang's urine properties, he should still be struggling, and he would only spend two to three million at most.
Although Pei Qian has repeatedly emphasized to Lao Ma that he should take action when it is time to take action and never hesitate.
But no matter what...that's still 20 million.
Pei Qian was afraid that Ma Yang would be reluctant to spend money, so he wanted to see the situation of Yuanmeng Venture Capital and do some ideological work for Lao Ma.
Yuanmeng Venture Capital has already rented an office space, which is about fifteen minutes' drive from Tenda and is also in a high-end office building.
Pei Qian followed the address to the office of Yuanmeng Venture Capital and walked in quietly.
There was a thick carpet on the floor, so Pei Qian didn't make any sound when he stepped on it.
The huge company is currently empty, but someone can be heard shouting inside, filling the entire company with echoes.
