Chapter 684 'Mission and Choice' Setting Collection
To create such a successful game for the company, but the company only gives itself less than 1% of the revenue, it would be difficult for anyone else to have a psychological balance.
Of course, Qiu Hong is quite good. Many game companies have successful game projects and do not pay a penny of bonus to the R&D team. There are also such companies, and there are many of them.
Qiu Hong saw this and felt that working as a wage earner for others would never have a future, so he decided to start his own business.
Not to mention the monthly turnover of the project is over 100 million, as long as there is a few million or tens of millions, my own income will be crushed before.
But the problem is that starting a business is much more difficult than he imagined.
If your business is not successful, then don’t think about getting rich suddenly. It’s better if you don’t starve to death.
Therefore, the price offered by Mr. Pei is actually sincere and tempting enough.
However, this "endless plan" itself is not like an investment project, but more like a public welfare project. Coupled with the bonus rules proposed by President Pei, Qiu Hong can't make up his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Hong asked: "Mr. Pei, can I take the liberty to ask, what is the purpose of this 'endless plan'?"
Pei Qian fell into silence.
Don't tell me, Mr. Pei was stunned by the question.
Of course the first purpose is to lose money, but I can't tell you.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said: "There is no specific purpose."
Qiu Hong was confused: "How could it not have a purpose?"
Pei Qian asked: "Why must there be a purpose?"
Qiu Hong was stunned. He blinked and savored Mr. Pei's words carefully.
Everyone must have a purpose in doing things. Mr. Pei has achieved such great success, and it is impossible to do everything just by patting his head on his head.
Then why did Mr. Pei say that?
Obviously, Mr. Pei's words certainly do not mean that there is really no purpose, but that there is no purpose in the utilitarian and worldly sense.
In fact, Qiu Hong's question is rather implicit. What he really wants to ask is: It's not profitable to invest in domestic stand-alone games and independent games, so what are you trying to do?
Mr. Pei also answered according to the deep logic behind Qiu Hong’s prediction: If I don’t make money by investing in domestic stand-alone games and independent games, then I can’t invest? Why do I have to make money? Can’t I just do something meaningful for this industry?
?
Looking at Mr. Pei's firm gaze, Qiu Hong suddenly remembered something.
I did talk to Mr. Pei about his views on domestic games before, and Mr. Pei seemed to be a little sad about the disaster of single-player games ten years ago.
Could it be said that Mr. Pei embarked on this "endless plan" simply to support the domestic stand-alone game industry? It was not to make money at all?
In this case, take a closer look at the name of the plan.
Endless plan.
Why such a name?
On the one hand, it can be considered that the entire domestic stand-alone game industry has reached the end of its rope. On the other hand, it can also be considered that this plan is specifically designed to help those independent game companies and independent game producers that have reached the end of their rope and are about to go bankrupt.
If I had the help of such a dead end plan when I first started my business, would the results have been different?
After thinking about this, I looked at Mr. Pei and suddenly felt that he seemed to have the brilliance of an idealist.
There were no empty words or clichés, but just the name of this plan touched Qiu Hong deeply!
But, how do you describe your performance bonus?
It's not that it's too little, I just find it a bit difficult to understand.
Thinking of this, Qiu Hong nodded: "Mr. Pei, I probably understand."
"However, there are some details that I still don't understand. There are so many companies, what is the specific screening method? Are you sure that my bonus is not determined based on investment income?"
When he heard the words "I understand", Pei Qian shivered instinctively.
He took a sip of tea and explained: "The specific screening method is actually very simple."
"You go all over the country to find these small teams that produce stand-alone games and independent games, but don't announce the relationship between the "Jiutu Project" and Tenda Games."
"Of course, travel expenses will be fully reimbursed."
"As for which small teams meet the requirements, the criteria are very simple: don't invest in those that you think are very reliable or very outrageous. As for what is reliable, you can decide for yourself."
“One thing to note is that the game must be a buyout system and cannot add any in-app purchases.”
"Only when their games are online and make money, we will get a share based on the money invested."
"As for your bonus income... what I said before is the final plan and will not be determined based on investment income."
After saying these words, Pei Qian felt a little guilty.
He was afraid that Qiu Hong would refuse.
It seems more attractive to get the bonus share based on investment income. Although the actual bonus income and stability are far lower than the current plan provided by Pei Qian, people, sometimes it is easy to think in the best direction.
.
But it is impossible for Pei Qian to give Qiu Hong a bonus based on investment income. In that case, wouldn't Qiu Hong have to rack his brains to find profitable projects?
The current method of issuing bonuses actually encourages Qiu Hong to diversify his investments. The greater the number and the fewer profitable projects, the higher his bonus will be.
As for not disclosing the relationship between "Jiutu Project" and Tenda Games, this is because once it is related to Tenda, the plan cannot be kept low-key. The funded companies will definitely become more concerned, which will invisibly increase the popularity of their games.
Probability of fire.
Therefore, you must spend money quietly and don't have too much to do with Tenda, which may cause the backstab effect of multi-department linkage.
But these things cannot be explained clearly. We can only hope that Qiu Hong can realize it on his own.
Qiu Hong fell into deep thought again.
He didn't think Mr. Pei's method of allocating bonuses was stingy. On the contrary, he felt Mr. Pei was a bit too generous.
Because the investors are all small teams that make stand-alone games and independent games, it would be good to have a few percent investment success rate. The probability of failure is much greater than the probability of success.
Since losing money is a high probability event, from a rational point of view, the current bonus distribution method is more beneficial to you.
As for why Mr. Pei specifically emphasized that you should not vote for anyone who is too reliable or too unreliable?
It goes without saying that it is too unreliable. There are many companies and producers here who are cheating money. No matter how much money you invest in them, they will only produce a bunch of garbage. This kind of company deserves to go bankrupt;
Companies that are too reliable cannot be said to be at the end of their rope. Even if they cannot get money from the End of the Road Plan, they can probably find some other investors to tide over the crisis.
Those who need the most help are those in the middle. They want to make good games, but they cannot win the favor of ordinary investment companies.
As for why we need to "cast a wide net", this is also easy to understand.
On the one hand, this is because eggs cannot be put in one basket, and on the other hand, it is also to make the scope of help of the Endless Plan wider.
Just like giving relief to the poor, giving one hundred thousand yuan to one poor person is definitely not as good as giving one thousand yuan to each of a hundred poor people.
For many small companies and small teams, if you give them five million or ten million, they will not know how to spend it, which may cause serious waste; but if you give them five million or one million, it will be enough to help them survive.
Overcoming difficulties can allow these funds to be fully utilized.
By keeping it quiet, even though it gives up its false reputation, it also prevents those garbage producers who are trying to gain fame and defraud investors from coming to your doorstep.
After thinking about it, Qiu Hong silently sighed, Mr. Pei is so thoughtful!
Sure enough, only people with such thoughtful thinking can achieve success in all fields!
Qiu Hong couldn't help but think of the time he gave a lecture in front of Mr. Pei, and felt a sense of shame that he was trying to do something in his own way.
However, maybe it was because of the previous exchange that Mr. Pei chose him, right?
Mr. Pei once said, don’t let the sorrow of the times become personal sorrow. This is obviously because he still has a special feeling for stand-alone games deep in his heart, right?
Qiu Hong felt that the idealist's brilliance in Mr. Pei shone even brighter, and Mr. Pei's smile revealed a kind of warmth and trust!
Thinking of this, Qiu Hong nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I am willing to take charge of the "Jiutu Project". I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
…
Afternoon, Yangyang games.
Wang Xiaobin is still racking his brains to think about the content of the DLC.
During this time, he also went to the forum to read the opinions of some players and selected several solutions that received strong responses for consideration.
"Huh? Director Zhu sent me the plot summary!"
Wang Xiaobin hurriedly received the document.
This plot summary is the DLC story summary of the game "Sea Fortress", not the story summary of "Mission and Choice".
In fact, it is not yet confirmed whether the plot story of "Mission and Choice" has been finished.
But Wang Xiaobin doesn't care about this either. Now he is a little too busy with his own work.
After opening the document, Wang Xiaobin discovered that it was not just a simple story outline, but also some sketches of the setting set that had just been drawn, including the Zerg that would be encountered in the game, the appearance of the characters in the game, and the line drawings of weapons and equipment, etc.
Although it is a first-person perspective, the protagonist's face cannot be seen, but the appearance of other team members can be seen.
Like the settings in many movies or games, these characters also wear special combat uniforms, that is, high-tech armor.
It's just that unlike those heavy-looking combat uniforms that can easily reach over three meters in height and weigh half a ton, these people's combat uniforms will be slightly slender and light.
According to the description in the setting set, the name of this combat suit is the "Skylark III Combat Suit". It is powered by a micro fusion reactor on the chest, which can charge the battle rifle in the hand. There are air jets on the back to dissipate heat.
It can also support ultra-short-distance flights in a short period of time.
At the same time, soldiers have all undergone strengthening surgeries to enhance their bodies through physical, chemical, genetic and other means, speeding up reaction speed, strength and vision. Although only a few soldiers persisted, they gained the ability to control the Skylark battle suit.
The reason why this combat suit is named Skylark is not only because it is relatively light and has the ability to fly short distances, but also because finches are the natural enemies of insects.
The combat suit has recoil offset devices on the hands and gravity devices on the feet. The weapon is a special rifle that uses gunpowder and magnetic rail dual propulsion and can be carried by an individual soldier.
There is an integrated system in the helmet with functions such as instant communication, infrared detection, terrain navigation, ballistic calculation, status monitoring, and artificial intelligence.
Although the rifle is extremely powerful and has an extremely high rate of fire, turning on the recoil offset device on the hand can achieve a "recoilless" effect in a short time, and the gravity device on the foot allows the user to stand on any solid surface.
superior.
In other words, every soldier wearing the Skylark battle suit can obtain wall-climbing, perspective within a certain range, recoilless, self-aiming, short-distance flight and other combat capabilities that can be called cheating.
Soldiers' battlefield data will be uploaded in real time, and the massive data will be processed and analyzed by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence will use this to direct the soldiers' actions.
This means that artificial intelligence can answer most combat-related questions raised by soldiers at any time and guide their actions.
Of course, the team communication within the team will be retained, allowing the team members to make some adaptable responses.
The faces of all team members are hidden in the helmet of the Skylark battle suit, but the scene inside the helmet can be vaguely seen: a huge single-piece eyepiece covers the soldier's left eye, and the extended part of the eyepiece wraps the left side of the chin, making it impossible to see
He doesn't show too many expressions, but he can distinguish between men and women and their general facial features.
In addition, everyone's battle uniform has a huge number and a small amount of personalized painting, so even if you are wearing a standard battle uniform, you can tell who is who if you observe carefully, provided that you are not in the middle of a fierce battle.
.
In addition, the story summary also briefly explains the mission of this team.
On the main battlefield, armored vehicles and heavy tanks are the main force against the Zerg. Soldiers do not need to wear combat uniforms to fight hand-to-hand with the Zerg sea.
However, neither armored vehicles nor combat uniforms can completely defend against the Zerg's acid, horny claws and pincers. At the same time, the carapace of most Zerg units cannot withstand individual rifles propelled by both gunpowder and magnetic rails.
For individual soldiers, it no longer makes much sense to pile up armor and increase firepower, so the main effect of the Skylark combat suit is to provide high mobility and concealment.
Under this premise, the mission of the combat team wearing Skylark combat uniforms is to avoid the main force of the insect swarm, sneak into the depths of the insect nest, and carry out an operation to decapitate the insect queen.
There are many such teams, and the protagonist is the captain of one of the action teams.
All the team members firmly believe that as long as they successfully behead the Zerg Queen, they can turn the tide of the war and even eliminate all Zerg.
But judging from the outline of the story, the mission of beheading the Zerg Queen does not seem to be such a simple matter.
But the team members in the story still don’t know anything about it.
