Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

Pei Qian explained: "In Tenda, each employee consumes 3.2 packs of snacks per day. Coffee and beverages are not included. Basically, they do not stop from work to get off work. This is the premise that many employees decide to lose weight and have control. under."

"But there is obviously a big gap between Chixing Studio and this value, and we still have to make persistent efforts."

“The amount of snacks eaten can tell how much the employees are engaged in their work. The amount of snacks eaten shows that the employees are working hard, thinking hard, and consume a lot of energy, so they need to eat a lot of snacks as a supplement.”

"So, we have to work hard!"

Lin Wan's expression was slightly surprised.

Eat less snacks?

Is this a problem that needs improvement?

Or is it... there is actually a deeper level of information that can be mined?

Lin Wan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed: "I understand, President Pei!"

"You mean these employees have just joined the company and don't eat snacks, which actually reflects that their attitude at work is still relatively rigid and not relaxed enough?"

"Game creation is an industry that needs inspiration. Only by fully relaxing can we make good designs. Only in a relaxed atmosphere can the communication between colleagues be more harmonious and smooth?"

“So eating less snacks reflects that the team’s running-in is not enough, and the atmosphere is not active enough, which will actually affect the daily work status and the quality of the finished game!”

"Seeing Weizhizhu, only if everyone can eat a lot of snacks steadily and assuredly, can the whole team get on the right track faster?"

"Then I'll send you a notice in a while, encouraging everyone to eat more snacks in the future! According to the 2 packs per person per day!"

Pei Qian was shocked.

He had just said casually, hoping that the employees of Chixing Studio could eat more snacks and work less, but he did not expect Lin Wan to make up so many things in less than a second...

Sure enough, is this an old Tenda employee?

Pei Qian couldn't help but want to hold his forehead with his hands, wondering what the situation was, how he cultivated so many strangely shaped employees...

But now there is no way to explain. Pei Qian could only acquiesce to Lin Wan's statement and immediately changed the subject: "Let's talk about VR glasses."

Lin Wan nodded: "Go to the meeting room, my brother happens to be there."

As soon as he entered the conference room, Pei Qian saw Lin Chang who was looking down and playing with his mobile phone.

Lin Chang looked up and saw Pei Qian smile immediately: "Oh, President Pei, are you here? Has the problem of Tengda's capital turnover been resolved?"

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

Didn’t this ask knowingly?

Don’t think I didn’t know that you were the one behind!

Although Pei Qian didn't think so much at first, the more he pondered over the past two days, the more things went wrong.

It stands to reason that the sloth apartment building should be very popular. Why is it that no one wants it?

If all companies don't want to "take advantage of the fire", this is actually a bit far-fetched, because it is impossible for all interested companies to respect Tenda so much that they give up such a big piece of fat.

Therefore, most of them were ventilated behind the scenes!

As for who this person is, it's actually easy to guess, it's just one of Li Shi or Lin Chang.

And Li Shi doesn't have such great energy. His influence is limited to Jingzhou, and he is actually incapable of talking about some large domestic real estate companies.

With this exclusion, the answer is obvious.

In this incident that hindered the sale of the property, Lin Chang definitely exerted tremendous energy!

Pei Qian chuckled, "It's still a lot to thank Mr. Lin for'helping'."

Although Pei Qian has tried hard to speak in a yin and yang tone, Lin Chang still didn't notice it. Instead, he waved his hand embarrassedly: "Hey, President Pei is too polite, who are we with whom? you are welcome!"

"Actually, I'm just a matter of making a few calls."

"President Pei has contributed so much to Chi Xing Studio, even if he would rather sell the property to pay the money, how can this kind of friendship be measured by money! This little help can't be said to help, President Pei must not take it to heart! "

Pei Qian: "..."

Why can't I hear good words?Am I thanking you?

Had it not been for the system to control my mouth, I would have vomited fragrance to you already!

Pei Qian was speechless, and casually found a chair to sit down at the conference table: "It's still business. I heard that the research and development funds for VR glasses are not enough?"

Lin Wan nodded, "Well, yes."

"We had originally planned R&D funds of 20 million for both games and VR glasses. The game is absolutely no problem, it must be enough, but VR glasses... just encountered a little problem."

"Actually, according to our original design, the money is about the same, but after the specific design and communication with the factory, several versions of the plan were changed. Lao Song also wanted to adopt some new technologies. The cost goes up..."

Lao Song is the product manager in charge of this VR glasses project at Shenhua Group.

The investment in hardware research and development can be more or less, and the fluctuations are actually very large. The key depends on the degree to be done.

Not to mention a device, even the development of a small handle, Microsoft has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in funds.

But this is too much attention to details, such as the ergonomic design, durability, feel, and unique appearance of the handle, which are subject to repeated modifications and repeated adjustments and tests.

However, many domestic manufacturers actually make handles, and the R&D expenses for such handles are much lower.

Of course, a good handle and a bad handle will have a gap between the feel and the actual experience, but the gap will not be that big.

In other words, cheap handles "are not unusable."

After all, you get what you pay for, and you get what you pay for ten cents. On this kind of somatosensory equipment, the price paid for every increase in feel is very huge.

In terms of VR equipment, the very sensational first-generation Oculus Rift was made with just 2.5 million dollars in crowdfunding, which also included part of the production and stocking money.

Many domestic companies also use crowdfunding to develop VR glasses. For example, a domestic VR glasses that uses 8K as a gimmick raised 3 million dollars to develop the world’s highest resolution VR glasses, although both the base station and the handle It is a ready-made technology, but it is enough to show that the development of VR glasses can't actually cost that much money.

The current VR glasses don't actually have much advanced technical content. The difference from traditional displays is only the display method.

The two lenses of the VR glasses are based on different visual fields and in the local space to create a different depth of perception of the picture, forming a virtual reality field of view in the user’s brain, creating a display effect that is different from traditional screens .

In other words, the information is still the information, nothing more than a different form of showing these pictures to the player.

And Chixing Studio invested 20 million, which can be converted into 3 million dollars. In fact, it is already a relatively large investment. The average company does not dare to pay this money for VR for fear of losing money.

What's more, VR glasses have something in common with mobile phones. For example, they both need chips and basic Aizhuo operating systems. These are undoubtedly the strengths of Shenhua Group, which can save a lot of money in this regard.

Originally the money was enough, but Lao Song, as a product manager, has a more geek character. He has some new ideas in the design process, and the development of the handle is indeed more difficult than originally expected, so several editions have been released. It was only after designing the plan that it was found that the funds were a little stretched, and only then did he report to Lin Wan for instructions.

Lao Song even came up with a proposal for somatosensory gloves, but he quickly rejected it.

Because there are several problems when making gloves, which are difficult to solve with current technical conditions, such as:

There is a big difference in the size of the player's hand. Making gloves means to make many sizes, and even if many sizes are made, it may not completely fit the player's hand.And for things like gloves, bigger and smaller things will be uncomfortable.If it is a handle, it can be made into one size, and all players can use it comfortably.

Moreover, in order to complete the corresponding functions, the handle must be equipped with batteries, sensors, joysticks and buttons. The gloves plus these things will definitely be too bloated and heavy, and it will be very inconvenient to operate.

Therefore, the glove solution is not feasible with the current technical level. Even if it is reluctantly made, the user experience will not be good. It is still honestly returning to the handle solution.

But even the handle solution, because it is different from the existing VR handles, the money required for development is more than previously expected.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qian came to his senses, and his eyes lighted up instantly: "I said at the time, there must be not enough money!"

"You said that 15 million can be made at the time. I am worried that the money is not enough to increase to 20 million. Now it seems that 20 million is not enough!"

"It must be added up!"

Hearing this, Lin Chang said hurriedly: "No problem! How much do you add, Mr. Pei, and how much is added by our Shenhua side!"

Pei Qian glanced at him, a little speechless.

What are you trying to mix up with?

Pei Qian didn't want to take Lin Chang to play, because Pei Qian went to the blood loss. If Lin Chang also paid the same money, wouldn't he also lose money?

It's better to let President Pei take it alone.

But when he thought of the good things Lin Chang did a few days ago, Pei Qian no longer sympathized with him.

That's what it deserves!

Pei Qian chuckled, "That's it, Tenda will invest another 10 million."

Lin Chang was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Do you need so much?"

Pei Qian coughed slightly and said, "If it is not convenient for President Lin, it will be all right here for Tenda..."

Lin Chang hurriedly waved his hand: "No problem! What can be wrong with this?"

"Shenhua will chase another 10 million yuan, it's all right!"

"Forty million, which is almost equivalent to nearly six million dollars. This is already twice as rich as the foreign VR glasses that caused a sensation before..."

"There is always no problem now, right?"

Although he was supporting his sister, Lin Chang still instinctively felt a little imaginary.

Ten million is not a big sum for the Shenhua Group. What he is worried about is that after the investment of this money, if the project fails, it will cause a huge blow to Lin Wan.

But since it was President Pei who decided to add money, let's add it!

Lin Wan nodded: "That's definitely enough! But, President Pei, is there really no problem with Tengda's funds? Or else you still keep the money, let my brother pay out all the 20 million..."

Pei Qian's face turned black for a moment: "Tengda's funds are fine, very good! You don't have to worry about this!"

"Instead of worrying about this, it is better to focus on the development of equipment and game design, and strive to make the product come out as soon as possible!"

Anyway, the day this product came out, it was not far from blood loss.

Lin Wan nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Song when I turn around. In this way, his previous designs can be implemented, and I will definitely be very happy!"

"By the way, President Pei, finally come here. Would you like to see the current art concept map of "Animal Island"?"

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Also."

After all, there is still a long time before the game DEMO is released. If you look at the art concept map, you can also roughly know the general style of the game and make up the game screen.

Lin Wan brought a laptop from the side, found some conceptual pictures of the game, and showed them to Pei Qian and Lin Chang.

Pei Qian glanced around and couldn't help being a little surprised.

This Q version of the concept picture is...perfect!

The background of the concept map is a small island on the sea with lush vegetation and picturesque scenery.And the main part of the picture is a variety of anthropomorphic small animals, such as kittens, puppies, lions, bears, rabbits, etc., some are fishing with a fishing rod in their hands, some are cutting trees with an axe, and Some are farming with hoes.

There is also a weird robot with a little steam style, assisting these little animals in managing the farmland, and has built a steampunk-style farmland watering system, of course, it is also a Q version.

For the artist, the Q version is relatively easy to use compared to the realistic style, because as long as it is not particularly talented, the Q version will not be too ugly.

However, it is difficult for the Q version to be proficient, because the key to the Q version is to extract the outstanding features of the original image for re-creation. How to make the Q version characters cute and recognizable while retaining the core essence is a very good thing. Difficult things.

These pictures are obviously masterpieces.

Pei Qian was very happy.

A masterpiece means expensive!

It must be a good thing to spend more money.

"This picture is the master's handwriting, right?" Pei Qian asked casually.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Isn't there a long-term cooperation price to discuss with Mr. Ruan?"

Pei Qian froze for a moment, and a question mark floated on his head.

?

"Is this painted by Ruan Guangjian?"

Pei Qian felt a little at a loss, because he remembered that Ruan Guangjian seemed to paint mostly realistic style.

Lin Wan nodded: "Yes, I can only say that the big guy is the big guy, and the Q prints are so good!"

Pei Qian was silent.

He suddenly remembered that Ruan Guangjian's realistic style of painting is so much, it doesn't mean that he can't paint Q version.

When Pei Qian went to the Internet to find a painter for "Ghost General", it was because he saw that all of Ruan Guangjian's representative works were all Q editions, and suspected that he could not paint realistically at all, so he came to him...

Not long after "Mission and Choice" was released, Ruan Guangjian came to work on "Animal Island"?

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with emotion: "You have a good connection..."
