Assistant Xin led Qiu Hong to the reception room and prepared tea.
"You have tea first, Mr. Pei will be here soon."
Qiu Hong nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
When Assistant Xin left the reception room, Qiu Hong drank tea while yearning for Tenda Games.
After giving a lecture to "Mr. Ma" some time ago, Qiu Hong began to prepare to re-contact his friends in the industry, hoping to open another company to develop new projects and regroup.
However, the specific purpose of the new project has not yet been determined, and naturally it is impossible to convince investors to invest money.
For Qiu Hong, he did have a deep accumulation in online games, but he had basically exhausted it when his last business venture failed.
The cultural industry is a highly subjective industry, especially the game industry.
When you succeed, you will be complacent and feel that you are doing everything right; but when you fail, you will fall into deep self-doubt and feel that you are useless.
Qiu Hong is in this kind of struggle now. He wants to start a new company and develop a successful game again, but he is not well prepared, so he feels confused.
Just at this time, "Mr. Ma" called again and invited him to come to Jingzhou. He said that he had a cooperation matter with Tengda officials and needed to discuss it in detail in person.
The phone call didn't say what the specific matter was.
If it were other companies, Qiu Hong might not consider it, because after starting his own business and then working for others, from having the final say to being managed by others, there will always be a feeling of "depending on others".
But after all, it was Tengda Group, and he had a relationship with Mr. Ma, so Qiu Hong decided to give it a try.
When he came to Jingzhou before, he always went straight to the cafe near Handong University, but this time Qiu Hongcai finally entered the interior of Tengda Group.
Spacious workstations, enviable benefits, and employees’ high spirits...
They all made Qiu Hong feel envious.
Because he also runs a company himself, he knows the hardships involved and how difficult it is to build a huge group like Tengda.
It is even more incredible to be able to provide such a generous working environment and a relaxed working atmosphere while ensuring the enthusiasm and combat effectiveness of all employees of the company.
In short, after seeing the scene inside Tenda, Qiu Hong felt that his work was not in vain.
As for what specific cooperation we want to talk about?
Qiu Hong really couldn't imagine it.
Because Qiu Hong is very clear about his positioning. Although he is somewhat famous in the domestic gaming circle, he is only limited to the field of online games. He may have made some money, but he is not comparable to Tenda in all aspects.
Tenda doesn't seem to need itself at all.
Just as I was thinking about it, there were slight footsteps outside the reception room, and I vaguely heard Assistant Xin say: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Qiu is already waiting in the reception room."
Qiu Hong immediately sat up straight and subconsciously.
Mr. Pei is here!
Regarding this legendary figure, Qiu Hong had always only heard of his name but never met him in person, so for some reason he still had a little expectation.
Hearing the knock on the door outside the reception room, Qiu Hong hurriedly said: "Please come in."
Assistant Xin opened the door of the reception room, and "Mr. Ma" walked in.
"Mr. Pei, if you have any questions, call me anytime." After Assistant Xin finished speaking, he closed the door and left.
Qiu Hong had already stood up and was ready to shake hands with Mr. Pei, but when he saw the current situation, he was stunned for a moment.
There are question marks floating over my head.
???
Pei Qian looked at Qiu Hong, who had just stood up with a dull and overwhelmed expression, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Qiu, long time no see."
Qiu Hong didn't come back to his senses for a moment.
Isn’t this Mr. Ma?
Then why does this assistant, who seems to have a high status in the company, call him "Mr. Pei"?
Qiu Hong vaguely realized something, but felt a little unbelievable because he couldn't figure out the reason and logic behind it.
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa. At this time, there was no need for Qiu Hong to guess anymore. He just told the prepared speech and got to the point as soon as possible.
"Mr. Qiu, I want to apologize first. My true identity is actually not Mr. Ma from Yuanmeng Venture Capital. I am Pei Qian himself."
"As for why I call myself Mr. Ma... I mainly want to change my identity and contact you, communicate and discuss, understand each other, and decide whether there is any possibility of cooperation between us."
There were fewer question marks on Qiu Hong's head, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In other words, Mr. Pei was not actually listening to my lecture before, but was conducting an anonymous inspection and interview?
Just like the principal will sit in when the teacher is giving a lecture to understand the teacher's true level?
This explains why Mr. Pei wears the vest of "Mr. Ma" to contact him.
However, Qiu Hong still had questions.
I am just a very ordinary game producer. Although I have a little reputation, I have a lot of people in the domestic game circle.
What virtues and abilities did Mr. Pei have to go through all the trouble to explore the possibility of cooperation? Mr. Pei paid his tuition at that time!
What kind of cooperation is it specifically?
Pei Qian didn't intend to dwell on this topic for too long, so he had to hurry up and move on.
"Mr. Qiu, let me first talk about our cooperation plan. You can think about it."
"The project I want to do is called the 'Endless Project'."
"This is a support plan for domestic stand-alone games and independent game developers. It is committed to finding those domestic stand-alone games and independent game development teams that need help and providing them with the necessary development funds."
"I would like to ask you to be the person in charge of this 'Exhaustive Plan' and become a senior executive of Tenda Group. All salaries and benefits are in line with those of the heads of other departments. However, one thing should be emphasized: your bonus income is not
It will be linked to the income from the 'Exhaustive Plan'."
"Your bonus depends on: the ratio of the number of profitable projects to the total number of projects. The lower the ratio, the greater your bonus."
"As for the specific amount, I cannot disclose it yet, but I can guarantee that it will not be lower than the bonus income you received when you served as the chief planner of a successful project. Of course, I must also be honest and say that it will not reach the income of a successful business.
.”
"Of course, if you feel dissatisfied and want to leave, Mr. Qiu, or ask for a salary adjustment, we can discuss these things."
"That's about it. If Mr. Qiu has any questions, just ask."
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and looked at Qiu Hong with a smile.
As for why it is called "Dead End Plan" instead of "Angel Plan" or "Savior Plan", it is obviously because Pei Qian hopes that this plan will come to an end soon, and the name must have a good omen.
Qiu Hong fell silent.
It’s not that there are no questions, it’s that there are so many questions that I don’t know where to start!
In fact, there are many companies in China doing similar things.
The two types of companies that do the most work are investment companies or so-called "incubators" that specialize in the gaming industry, and the other are gaming channels and platforms.
Although the esro official platform is the largest and most authoritative platform, it does not mean that other game platforms do not exist. For example, the application market of Shenhua mobile phones can be regarded as a type of game channel and platform.
These two types of companies carry out similar support programs obviously because this matter is profitable.
There are many start-up companies in the game industry that have become popular overnight, especially in the past two years when the mobile Internet has exploded. The myth of mobile game companies becoming rich overnight has been repeated many times. If you really invest in a successful mobile game company, the return on investment will be
It will make all investors jealous.
Although there are many investment companies, there are barriers to investment. Some investment companies do not understand the game industry, so they naturally dare not invest in small companies in these game industries.
Therefore, investment companies specifically targeting the gaming industry have emerged.
The platform supports some start-up game companies basically for the same purpose: to put it mildly, it is to obtain more and better games for its own platform, but in the final analysis it is to make money.
Therefore, these companies have one characteristic: they do invest and support many companies, but most of them are online game companies and mobile game companies.
The reason is very simple, this is the only way to make money!
Investing in this kind of company is high risk and high return.
Investing in stand-alone games and independent games is a high risk with no reward.
Investment companies have a natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is normal to invest in online games rather than stand-alone games, and mobile games rather than independent games.
But Mr. Pei’s “Dead End Plan” is specifically aimed at stand-alone and independent games?
Moreover, as a person in charge, bonuses and performance are not linked to the income of the project?
On the contrary, is it inversely proportional to the value of "number of profitable projects/total number of projects"?
Doesn’t that mean that the greater the total number of projects invested and the smaller the number of profitable projects, the greater the bonus?
Is reverse incentive okay?
Doesn’t this encourage you to submit more junk projects without filtering?
This confused Qiu Hong.
As for income, sincerity has already reached its full potential.
Before starting his own business, Qiu Hong served as the chief planner to create a project with a monthly revenue of over 100 million. It was the highest-earning stage of his career, but his monthly bonus was only a little over 100,000.
Because the company's bonus rule is that the entire development team can only get 3% of the project's net income, and this kind of so-called "monthly revenue over 100 million" project is actually mostly bragging and does not really have a net income of over 100 million.
It is necessary to deduct the share with the channel and platform (the channel takes the lion's share), and deduct the marketing expenses (a large part of this data is generated by my own company), and there were more people in the development team at that time, and these bonuses were divided among the entire project.
, everyone has a share. As the main planner, although the share ratio will be high, it is also limited.
After all the miscellaneous calculations, compared with the money earned from the project, the real money is a drop in the bucket, not even enough to drink soup.
That's why Qiu Hongcai is so eager to jump out and start a business.
