Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Latest website: At the same time as the interview of Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Dream Venture Ventures.

Mr. Ma is still not here today.

Although Mr. Ma's whereabouts have always been erratic, and the company has indeed had no money to invest in new investment projects in the recent past, the failure of Mr. Ma to come to this matter still makes He Desheng and others feel a little worried.

If Mr. Ma loses interest in the game of "Jiubaoyi", many people may lose their jobs on the spot!

Even if you are not unemployed, but just out of favor, it also means that the future career prospects are bleak.

Therefore, these major gods who accompany Ma to play games and engage in investment in the sideline industry are a little anxious.

After work, He Desheng's first thing is to open the mailbox and check the mail.

I sent the suggestion company to modify the game on Friday. Should I reply today, right?

Sure enough, there was an unread email from the finger company.

He Desheng simply browsed.

It can only be said that it is indeed a shareholder.

The finger company already responded to the email on Saturday. Only on the weekend, Yuanmengchuang took a leave. No one worked overtime. He Desheng didn't check the email on the weekend, so I only saw it today.

In any case, the reply was given in just one day, which is enough to show that the company attached great importance to shareholders and domestic agents.

The contents of the e-mail are many, and the tone is very polite.

However, although the tone is euphemistic, the subtext is very clear.

Translation is nothing more than the following three points:

Thank you very much for your support and love of ioi games.

Thank you very much for your valuable comments on the game, which is very inspirational for our game design.

But for some reasons that are difficult to express clearly in the email, the finger company cannot promise to change it because the game design is a very overall problem. Of course, if the conditions permit, these modifications are not completely inconceivable.

After reading this quite official response, He Desheng sighed in silence and closed the email.

No way, people's attitude is very clear, it is impossible to change.

Although Yuanmeng Venture Capital has shares in the finger company and has obtained the exclusive agency rights in China, it is impossible to point fingers at the finger company in this regard.

Moreover, the company's attitude towards investors has remained unchanged, and its determination to maintain independence is quite firm.

It's been great to get such a polite response in such a short period of time. If other companies put forward these opinions, the leading company will probably ignore them.

If you think about it, it's normal. On the surface, Yuanmeng Ventures is an investment institution. How can a pointing company change the content of its current game because of the advice of an investment institution?

Even if Tengda is behind Yuanmeng Venture Capital, Tengda's influence in foreign countries is not so great, and the responses of the finger companies are mostly the same.

In short, this road does not work.

If it is something else, give up and give up.

Considering everyone's rice bowl, He Desheng felt that games must be used to restore President Ma's trust.

Since ioi doesn't work, are there any other similar games?

He Desheng considered for a long time and suddenly remembered.

"Is Tenda working on a similar game?"

"The sibling department should speak better than the finger company, right?"

He Desheng did not have contact information for Li Yada, but he was able to contact Assistant Xin.

So, after Assistant Li had asked Li Yada's contact information, He Desheng sent the revised plan to the past.

As for Li Yada, the person in charge of Tenda, will accept this plan?

He Desheng did not end.

Although it is a brother department, Tenda makes games to make more money.

If this modification plan is inconsistent with Tengda's previous design direction, the person in charge on Tengda's side will not be able to completely violate his design philosophy and make a major change to the game simply because of human relations.

But anyway, ask first.

Maybe the person in charge is interested in the revised plan?

...

Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Pei, venture to bother."

"About this haunted house, can Mr. Pei briefly talk about specific requirements?"

"Although Hao Qiong and I have some ideas, they are worried that they will not meet your expectations."

Looking at the message from Chen Kangtuo, Pei Qian was lost in thought.

Still not confused.

The two came to ask, what should I do?

Pei Qian did not want to "point the way" to Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong, because he felt that his mouth had opened his mouth, and what he said could come true.

Every time I give someone an idea, it turns out to be a golden idea.

This made President Pei feel very confused and troubled.

So this time, Pei Qian didn't talk to Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong too much, just let them toss on their own, thinking about fooling past.

As a result, the two probably figured out that something was wrong, and they took the initiative to ask after a weekend.

Pei Qian didn't want to give them "pointing the way", but if it didn't say a word, it seemed a bit wrong.

Well, just say one thing.

Pei Qian thought for a while, and typed in reply: "Let the daring people have nowhere to spend money, let the timid ones stay away."

After two minutes, Chen Kangtuo replied.

"Mr. Pei, can you explain a little ..."

Obviously, after careful two sentences, he thought for another two minutes.

However, he still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence and could only helplessly ask again.

Although this may make Mr. Pei feel a bit wasteful, but considering that this is a large project of 10 million yuan, Chen Kangtuo dare not carry out such a stumble.

Pei Qian smiled.

Explanation?

It's very simple. It means letting those who are daring and dare to play casually play at a low fee does not make any money; letting those who are timid are dare not to play at all, and naturally there is no way to contribute to the haunted house.

The timid dare not come, and the daring comes without costing too much, isn't this haunted house properly paid?

However, these words must not be made clear.

Pei Qian didn't dare to explain more, for fear that what she said was wrong would trigger the two's crazy brain supplement.

The silence speaks.

Therefore, Pei Qian simply responded with three words: "I realize."

Chen Kangtuo: "... so President Pei, I understand."

He handed his mobile phone to Hao Qiong.

The two looked at the words "Self-realization" on the screen of President Pei, and were speechless for a moment.

Good one to realize ...

The hint is just a sentence. Is the difficulty of understanding too high?

Hao Qiong has heard that the general direction previously proposed by President Pei is usually three to four points, and all of them have a clear direction.

But now it's highly condensed to a point, and it seems too confusing!

Teacher, this question is superb!

Chen Kangtuo felt a bit of a pain in his brain: "How does this ...?"

Hao Qiong took a deep breath: "Calm, calm."

"Director Lin once told us how to analyze the general intention of Pei. Wait a minute, I will recall the knowledge first."

"The first step is to clarify a belief first, that no matter how unreliable President Pei said, it must be correct ..."

Hao Qiong began to analyze the profound meaning of President Pei's sentence according to the method taught by Lin Wan.

A timid person, a timid person.

This should be all potential customers of the haunted house.

The attitude of these potential customers to the haunted house directly determines the success of the haunted house.

According to common sense, it should be for the timid and timid customers to have fun and obediently pay for it.

However, the demands of these two customers are different.

Courageous customers need more thrilling adventures, such as staff acting as ghosts and scaring them up close.

The timid customer is easily dismissed by such an over-thrilling project, and may not even dare to enter, and naturally will not generate consumption.

So, how to bridge the demands of these two different customers?

Chen Kangtuo felt that the answer must be hidden in President Pei's sentence!

Let daring people have nowhere to spend money, and let timid ones stay away.

Is it to make the haunted house particularly terrifying and set a low fare?

In this way, the courageous person will not dare to enter, and will naturally be discouraged. The fare is very low, and the courageous person has nowhere to spend money ...

It seems that this is indeed consistent with President Pei's statement.

The problem is, it doesn't make money and it doesn't make sense.

Why keep timid people away? Make them as bad as possible? Why scare them away?

It's definitely not that simple.

Therefore, this idea must be completely overthrown.

Rediscover the deep meaning in President Pei's words!

The two thought hard for a long time.

Chen Kangtuo suddenly got a clue, slamming his thigh and said, "I have it! I suddenly thought of it!"

"I will briefly talk about my thoughts. Listen to it and see if it makes sense."

Hao Qiong nodded and listened carefully.

Chen Kangtuo said with a little excitement: "The idea we just made is that the mode of high horror effect + low fare will inevitably cause a huge loss in the haunted house, and it must be a dead end."

"Absolutely misunderstood what Mr. Pei meant."

"I was wondering, did we miss any key information?"

"Pei has deliberately omitted a key piece of information, which is likely to be a test for us."

"Mr. Pei never said that there can only be one project in a haunted house?"

Hao Qiong's eyes widened instantly, showing a stunned expression.

Yes, these two sentences are not necessarily for the same project!

The initial investment of the entire haunted house was huge, and additional investment was needed in the future. It was built in such a remote and old industrial area, and it was not convenient to go anywhere. The only advantage was that there was a lot of land and the workshops were used arbitrarily ...

So why did President Pei choose a site here?

Obviously, he didn't plan to do only one project from the beginning!

Chen Kangtuo continued: "Suppose we start two or even three large projects to meet the needs of different consumers?"

"Let the daring have nowhere to spend money, that is, find a way to collect money from the timid."

"Stimulating the timid person means meeting the daring person with a very stimulating experience."

"However, we must not really scare the timid person away. We must let the daring person blow our haunted house and let the timid person stop at the haunted house, but always look at the door, hesitate ... and finally turn into a daring Great man. "

"This is the ultimate goal of President Pei!"

Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong continued to analyze, and Pei's goals finally became clear.

These two simple words can be disassembled into the following points.

For daring players, this place should be terrifying, and at the same time, the consumption is very low. In this way, they will blow up this place, recommend it to friends around them, and take them repeatedly to play.

For timid players, they will be afraid because of the horror here, but they must not be completely scared by this horror.

Even, find ways to make more money for timid players!

So, how to charge less daring players and more for less timid players?

It's easy, through discounts and refunds!

For example, the longer you stay in a haunted house, the cheaper the ticket. If you can clear the customs, you can consider directly refunding 70% or 80% of the tickets, or even waive the bill depending on the situation.

In this way, we can meet President Pei's requirements very well!

However, this situation is a bit too idealistic and there are some loopholes.

The timid players are walking away, watching outside the haunted house, provided they come to the haunted house.

If they didn't even consider coming here to play, it would be impossible to achieve this effect.

Therefore, the haunted house must have a project suitable for slightly timid people.

In this way, when these timid people are playing some less scary items, they will also see those daring people playing very thrilling projects.

Moreover, this thrilling project will also be exempted according to the length of customs clearance time.

In this way, these timid people will enter the trial, but because they do not insist on the incomplete process at all, whether it is tickets or extra spending, it will be higher.

For example, you can sell things like Buddha statues in "Back to the Shore" at the door. Taking this thing can not only illuminate, but also make the staff who play the ghosts less scared of him.

This is equivalent to a value-added service in the game.

In this way, the experience of both consumers can be balanced!

A less scary but fun project to attract timid people.

A very scary project to attract those who are bold.

When a timid person comes, he will be curious about this scary project and generate extra consumption. In this way, the income of the haunted house is definitely much higher than simply selling tickets, and the profitability can naturally be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, the two people who were confused at first felt suddenly bright.

"So it is!"

"Then our mission is very clear now."

"This haunted house must have at least two to three major projects. There must be a project with low level of scare but strong social attributes and suitable for repeated play by multiple people to attract timid consumers."

"There must be a project with a high degree of scare that will make horror enthusiasts across the country covet. Tickets will be reduced or exempted according to the length of time.

"As for the third project ... it can be a transitional project. After all, from the first project to the third project, the terror factor has gone too far, and some timid consumers may still be afraid to participate."

"Let them go to the second project to practice their gall, and then they can go to the third project to continue the challenge."

The more the two of them got excited, the more they started writing the planning documents!

While typing, Hao Qiong said with emotion: "Don't say, this analysis method that Director Lin said is really easy to use."

"So many things were analyzed at once!"

Chen Kangtuo nodded: "Yes. But then again, the guidance given by President Pei is more important."

"It seems that Mr. Pei has a long history of understanding this project."

"Not only foreseeing the ultimate shape of this project in advance, but also refining the key points of the success of this project, suggesting us with such a short sentence!"

"Pei is really amazing."

"So, what else do we worry about?"

"It's absolutely okay to do what President Pei explained!"

The two of them were very low-hearted, worried that they would mess up.

But now, both people are full of confidence and full of expectations for the haunted house to be built in the future!

...

...

at night.

Tenda Group's first recruitment has come to an end.

Although there will be a link to Tenda's spiritual fit test later, there will be nothing for the examiner and staff.

The interviewees have been rigorously screened, and the length of each interview will be strictly controlled. Although the time is slightly extended, it is not much different from the estimate.

However, this work continued until more than 5 pm.

Because after the interview, the examiners and all staff have to calculate and weight the scores of all interviewers, sort out the final list of shortlists, and notify the interviewers.

This time, various departments have recruited a large number of new members.

There are key employees with many years of experience in the industry, as well as college students who have just graduated or will graduate next year.

Although cross-interviews make it impossible for each person in charge to directly interview job applicants in their own department, the results of the final selection can basically satisfy everyone.

After all the work was done, the heads of the departments happily ate a meal and expressed their gratitude to each other.

After eating for more than an hour, I was ready to go home.

Li Yada took the opportunity to have a dinner, and asked Huang Sibo and Lu Mingliang some questions.

Although the two have different ways of understanding President Pei's intentions, the results seem to be the same.

It was not until the party ended that Li Yada found an opportunity to take out her mobile phone and saw He Desheng's friend's application, as well as the game proposal and correction plan he sent.

"This solution ... looks risky."

Although Li Yada's understanding of similar games is not as deep as Bao Xu's, after all, she has been leading the development of GOG for so long, and most of the pros and cons of the design can be clear.

In the eyes of most people, this kind of 5v5 confrontation game represented by "Shen Qi" is undoubtedly a fair competition game.

Since it is competitive, the higher the difficulty, the clearer the distinction between master players and rookie players is.

However, too high difficulty will lead to too high game thresholds, discouraging some handicapped players.

Reducing the difficulty does make the game experience better for novice players, but for many experts, "easy to play" may also be one of the reasons that make them lose their superiority ...

In short, these suggestions seem reasonable, but they are also dangerous.

How to choose, Li Yada can hardly choose.

After considering it for a long time, I still couldn't make a decision.

Originally I wanted to ask Bao Xu or General Pei, but Li Yada remembered what Lu Mingliang had said during the dinner.

At that time, Li Yada asked Lu Mingliang what he thought was the most important quality of a game designer.

Lu Mingliang thought and said that the most important quality is not to be too confident in himself.

Li Yada didn't understand, so Lu Mingliang explained it a bit.

According to Lu Mingliang, most designers are very confident in themselves.

Because before becoming a designer, most people must first become a game enthusiast and a senior gamer before they can join the game industry and move up step by step.

If you are not confident in yourself, many designers might not have entered the industry.

Therefore, most designers are confident in themselves.

This kind of self-confidence is good, but sometimes it can make you blind.

Each player is just an individual, with different tastes and preferences.

The game must be impossible for everyone.

A good game only needs to satisfy the tastes and needs of the target player group, and that's enough.

So, what if the designer likes something completely different from the target player group of this game?

Many designers will fall into blind self-confidence, and the games they make will be detached from the players and will undoubtedly fail.

On the contrary, designers who are not so confident in themselves will listen to opinions with an open mind, making the game more in line with the taste of most players and achieving success.

So, don't be too confident, not to doubt yourself, but not to believe in yourself or to follow others blindly.

Observe the player as objectively as possible, and find a balance between personal preferences and player appeals.

Thinking of this, Li Yada could not help but reflect on herself.

She did not have blind self-confidence ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ but ...

Is it wrong to trust Bao Xu blindly?

Although Bao Xu is indeed experienced in similar games, he is likely to have made the mistake of "overconfidence" Lu Mingliang ...

After much consideration, Li Yada decided.

There is no need to ask Bao Xu or President Pei for this plan, just make a new version directly!

Among these changes, the content of game mechanics such as the make-up economy and the human bounty are relatively easy to do; the map reduction is a bit more troublesome, but it can be improved within a few days; more troublesome content, such as designing some Heroes that are suitable for novices or masters need to be considered in the long run, but they are not so anxious.

In the early stage, you can completely change these basic mechanisms and make another version, and also update it to Moyu Internet Cafe at the same time.

After waiting for a while, just compare the player data of these two versions, which one is better?
