Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian fell silent.

It sounds so reliable!

Since Chi Xing Studio has become a hit in the VR field, it is indeed quite a good thing to continue to cultivate in the VR field and to modify the game content and develop a new VR game in accordance with the operating standards established in "Animal Island". A sound decision.

After the game is made, with the reputation of Chixing Studio and Tenda, there is a great possibility of making money.

Seeing Mr. Pei fell silent, Cai Jiadong was a little disappointed.

Sure enough, this idea of ​​my own is still too simple, and it is far from the standard answer in President Pei's heart.

Lin Wan took over: "Lao Cai's choice is indeed the most reasonable choice under normal thinking."

"However, I think this choice also has certain risks."

"I chatted with Lao Song, the product manager of VR glasses. He said that Doubt VR glasses have already used all the currently available VR glasses technology. It is a comprehensive product. It is not optimistic to estimate that in the next two to three years, VR The shape of eyewear products may not change much."

"What I am worried about is that once the development of VR glasses products stagnates, the VR industry will definitely cool down quickly. At that time, the games we have invested heavily in development may not be able to recover costs because the market is not large enough."

"So, my thought is, don't put eggs in a basket."

"You can develop regular games and VR games alternately, or you can make dual versions at the beginning of the project."

"In this way, even if the VR industry shrinks sharply in the future, Chi Xing Studio can continue to do traditional games and still live well."

Pei Qian remained silent.

It sounds... so reasonable!

Lin Wan's plan is more solid and more secure.

According to her method, Chixing Studio can not only enjoy the dividends of VR games, but also use the experience and advantages of previous traditional game development to avoid risks and make money steadily.

This special meow, no matter how you choose, it seems you will make a profit...

However, Lin Wan still provided a very useful information, that is, the VR industry has no technical reserves, and it is likely to stagnate or even shrink in the future.

This is exactly in line with the state of the VR industry in Pei Qian's memory.

Due to technical reasons, the VR boom will only last for a short period of time, after which it will cool down sharply. The "VR gaming era" that many people are looking forward to is over before it starts.

Therefore, neither of the plans of these two people can be used. You have to think of a plan to lose money.

Continue to invest heavily in the development of VR games, and can not develop VR games that seem to have a high chance of success!

As Cai Jiadong said, developing a 3A FPS game is definitely not good. The chance of success is too high.

Pei Qian summed it up, the success of "Animal Island" is mainly because this idea is not outrageous enough.

Before he decided to do the "Animal Island" project, mainly because he hurried during meetings. After negating several directions such as realistic FPS and film games, he inexplicably finalized the direction of cartoon style and casual games.

Then, after a lot of people’s brains, "Animal Island" was born.

Looking back at the game "Animal Island" now, Pei Qian found that it was obviously still too reliable.

How did I allow Chixing Studio to develop such a reliable game?

No wonder it failed so terribly.

Therefore, Pei Qian feels that the main reason why VR games have not failed is that he was lazy at the beginning and the idea was not outrageous enough.

This time I put forward a particularly outrageous VR game idea, invested a lot of money, and coupled with the general trend of the VR industry gradually pre-cooling in the future, you will definitely lose money!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed slightly and said, "You two have the right idea."

"but……"

"Obviously it still doesn't meet my previous definition of the word'late trip'."

"Think about it, what did you say before you decided to make a VR game?"

Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other.

Cai Jiadong said: "I remember. At that time, everyone said to make a mobile game. Mr. Pei said, Chi Xing means bold assumptions, careful verification, and a long-term vision when establishing goals. Although the road has to be taken step by step, only the feet Without foresight, detours will still occur."

"Also, progress can only be achieved by daring to make breakthroughs. None of the previous projects have been successful because of ‘stability’."

"Could it be that... Mr. Pei, do you think my current thinking is still too stable?"

Pei Qian nodded, and the class representative summed it up well and was a good seed.

Cai Jiadong thoughtfully.

"indeed……"

"When Chi Xing Studio first started, VR games hadn't appeared yet, and doing games like "Animal Island" was already considered risky."

"But now, since DoubtVR glasses have been successful, then step by step to make a regular VR game, it is not a risk."

Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "Then, Mr. Pei, what do you mean is that we should continue to invest more in making VR games, and at the same time make a new game that no one has ever done before?"

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's what it means!"

"Don't be afraid of failure. If you are afraid of failure, you will never be able to achieve real success."

The implication is that if you are taking your roots and making money all the time, how can I stand it?

There must be more risks and more failures to defeat this huge family.

Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong nodded each, with a dazed expression on their faces.

Sure enough, always Pei's way of looking at problems is still so unique, so hit the nail on the head!

But, what new idea does President Pei have this time?

Pei Qian coughed slightly and said, "This time my idea is to make a realistic game."

"The game will be set in Jingzhou, with realistic painting style, fine modeling, and real-life motion capture. The investment must be huge!"

"And the identity of the character in the game... is a kind of occupation that is more annoying and boring in reality."

Putting the most annoying profession in the real world into the game and letting the player enter this profession should be able to make the player run in disgust, right?

It's a realistic subject again, which is boring to think about.

As for what this occupation is...

There are many kinds, and Pei Qian didn't think too much.

He looked at Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong, and obviously he had to count on them to make up for it at this time.

Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other and didn't guess what occupation Pei always wanted to say.

Cai Jiadong was silent for a while, and tentatively said: "Uh... real estate agency?"

Pei Qian immediately slapped the table: "Yes, that's it!"

Real estate agency is definitely an annoying industry.

Of course, the same sentence is not to say that most people who are real estate intermediaries are like, but the nature of the job, and the nature of most housing intermediary companies, determines that this job is not very good.

There are other ways, many people will not choose to do this business.

To make this a game, thinking about it with your feet feels very boring and very persuasive players.

The basic gameplay of the game is nothing more than to constantly show customers, sell houses, and click on the dialogue options on the screen. The gameplay has no depth at all.

Such a boring game, using fine modeling and real-life motion capture, can be said to be quite a waste.

There will also be a lot of useless dialogues and texts in the game, all dubbed by real people, which is a waste of money.

It's impossible to make money in such an outrageous game, right?

In fact, Pei Qian didn't think about the specific requirements for a professional simulator at the beginning, but after hearing what Cai Jiadong said, he suddenly felt that the real estate agency was quite appropriate.

That's it!

Pei Qian stood up, ready to leave.

Before leaving, I added another sentence: "Of course, this is just an immature little idea of ​​mine. If you find it inappropriate, you can do something else."

"Also, you must prepare well before setting up the project and start next month at the earliest."

In nominal terms, Tenda Group and Chixing Studio are only investment relations, and Pei Qian cannot "order" Chixing Studio to develop a certain game.

But Pei Qian believed that Lin Wan and the others would definitely follow suit.

...

After leaving Mr. Pei away, Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong went from one kind of confusion to another.

Mr. Pei pointed out the direction for them, but why does it sound a little unreliable?

Anyone who sees this message can get cash. Method: Follow the WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp].

Cai Jiadong said, "Mr. Lin, according to Mr. Pei..."

"A game with a real estate agency as the protagonist can only be a'real estate agency simulator'..."

"But what is there to simulate?"

"The job of a real estate agency is very boring. Every day it is nothing more than taking clients to see the house, posting online, finding housing, etc."

"In reality, many people are unwilling to do this job, let alone make it into a game?"

Lin Wan's expression was solemn and lost in thought.

"Since Mr. Pei says he can do it, there must be enough gameplay to support it."

"The game must be based on reality and higher than reality."

"We can actually design like this: the protagonist was a newcomer real estate agent who rented a house at first. His job is to show customers the house, introduce the house to the customer, and earn money with commission. But as the game progresses, he can also open Own company, build your own brand."

"In the early days, the protagonist of UU reading www.uukanshu.com mainly focused on viewing houses. Different guests have different preferences. Whether they want to truthfully tell the shortcomings of the house or deceive the customers will bear the corresponding consequences."

"After the protagonist is promoted to the store manager, he can have a certain degree of autonomy, change the layout of the house, and renovate some old houses, so as to attract more customers and earn the rent difference."

"Later, after the protagonist builds his own brand, he can also customize furniture with a furniture manufacturer and make a deep renovation of the house according to his favorite style. You can also save money to buy your own house, rest in your own house, and have some simple entertainment. "

"In this way, the gameplay is still very rich. It can be a real estate agency simulator, which judges the shortcomings of the house, communicates with customers to promote orders, or it can be a decoration simulator, which plans the layout and decoration style of the room, and The score is given by the system."

"Even we can cooperate with sloth apartments and furniture manufacturers that meet the standards to interact in the game."

"From the perspective of VR, players can clearly see the structure and layout of a house, which is also very helpful for many people who need to buy or rent a house in reality."
