Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Sunday, 1 May.

Pei Qian came to the cafe near the school again and today he wants to meet a new game maker.

The 1.8 million allowable to pay tuition fees is currently spent only 1 million, leaving 800,000 unspent.

Therefore, Pei Qian had asked Assistant Xin to identify a number of failed projects before, and at the same time had a well-known designer who wanted to learn some success stories.

There is a certain reputation for what fails because Pei Qian wants to exclude interference from personal ability factors as much as possible.

If a producer fails and is useless in itself, on the one hand, the system does not allow him to pay so much tuition, and on the other hand, his failure factors are not prominent enough to make it difficult to learn.

If a person is full of failures, which one does Pei learn? If what you learn is an irrelevant factor, isn't that working for nothing?

You have to find the kind of competent, successful designers whose failures are obvious, as if they were directly “highlighted” and easy to learn.

He An said that the main reason for the success of Tengda project, for Pei Qian, was the wrong question book, it was a large-scale error correction exercise;

Today, the big man mainly talks about his own failure experience, which is a standard workbook for Pei Huan.

Can you combine what He An said with what this producer said today?

Also, ask the two bosses to lecture themselves, successfully digest 1.8 million, and learn the expertise of game making.

If you are able to pass the system assessment when checking out, you will be able to make a game of compensation in the future based on what you have learned…

Don't you make money?

Compared to He An's "wrong question” form, today the big man will directly “talk about the standard answer”, for Pei Huan, the loss of money knowledge will be easier to absorb.

So, Pei Qian looks forward to this meeting!

Shortly after arriving at the cafe, the game maker arrived.

“Hello, Mr. Ma! I'm Qiu Hong.” A long-haired, seemingly thirty year-old man shook Pei Huan's hand.

Before coming, Pei Qian had roughly reviewed Qiu Hong's resume.

Unlike an ancient giant like He An's bright resume, Qiu Hung's game-making career can be described as rather cumbersome and fateful.

His curriculum vitae can be seen as a template for the current adult generation of the domestic gaming market.

After joining the company around 2001, he entered a large domestic gaming company as a numerical planner and successfully developed a successful Immortal theme endgame, of course, Kryptonite Gold.

Two years later, using the successful project resume to jump to another gaming company, as the main plan to develop a western fantasy background tour, project parade, development for a whole year, however, the final test data was terrible, helpless.

Later, he switched to another gaming company and continued to be the main planner in the production of a country's war theme Krypton, this time with success, succeeding in winning the proud track record of the month flowing by more than 100 million.

This national war game is regarded as Evergreen Tree. Although income declined after six months, it has remained in operation for three years and has accumulated a good reputation for Qiu Hong.

With the reputation accumulated by the project, Qiu Hong decided to stand on his own doorstep and found his own investment to set up a gaming company, develop a Kryptonian gold tour and play again.

At present, because his gaming project has failed, Qiu Hung is slightly discouraged and is in a state where he has nothing to do to want to relax, so when he heard that someone spent 100,000 yuan listening to a lesson, he happily agreed to come to Jingzhou.

Pei Huan was very satisfied with Qiu Hong's resume.

Simply summed up: standing tall and falling miserable!

This man is obviously focused on the domestic Kryptonian game, and he was proud to have won the Moon Stream of over 100 million years ago as a master planner.

Moreover, Qiu Hongzhi's experience of two failures does not appear to have failed because of money.

When he failed for the first time, the company he jumped to was rich and bold and ready to throw thousands of dollars to build a masterpiece that looked like that era, with no shortage of money;

The second time he failed, he also got enough money from investors to start a business, as well as no shortage of money.

But even so, Qiu Hong, who had a successful gaming experience and had a rich accumulation in the gaming industry, failed to start a business.

Huge investment, heavy losses, tens of millions of funds directly hit the water drift, which is very much in line with Pei Huan's expectations!

Pei Qian firmly believes that in Qiu Hong's experience, there must be something worth learning and learning from!

The waiter serves coffee, and the two of them drink and talk.

Qiu Hong briefly introduced his curriculum vitae. From an attitude, the difference between him and He An is very obvious.

He An is obviously the type of giant and successful person in the industry. His qualifications overwhelmed 90% of the designers in the industry. He is also interested in lecturing people. The old man brings a kind of arrogance.

Even if “Mayang” offered him the price of 210,000 lessons, He An would resolutely tell the story according to what he wanted to say. If you don't listen, I'll leave.

Qiu Hong is completely different. Although he has had a successful experience, he knows that he is not a top game producer in the gaming industry, so he is very polite. The “President Ma” across the street wants to hear what he wants to say.

After all, Qiu Hong is a numerical plan and only makes domestic kryptonite gold games. Most designers of this type have a distinct feature, which is that they cannot afford money.

Qiu Hong felt that since the “Ma Zheng" paid 100,000 yuan per lesson to attend the lesson, and also paid for round-trip airfare transfer and other expenses, it was like the relationship of Kryptonian Toyota players with their own absolute clothing parents.

Definitely do everything possible to meet the needs of "General Ma”.

Therefore, when listening to "President Ma” to listen to his own experience of failure, Qiu Hong was not angry, but just confirmed and happily agreed.

“Well, since the horse always wants to hear it, I'll tell you. ”

“But there is one thing I want to state in advance. ”

“When it comes to success stories, it must take me a while to prepare for them. After all, every success story is a combination of countless success factors, and every success factor must be clearly identified in order to restore the full picture of this success game. ”

“But the experience of failure is much easier said than done, and I don't need time to prepare. ”

“As the saying goes, 'a thousand miles of embankment crashes into an ant cave’, you often make 99 right choices, but you only make one wrong choice, and it still leads to failure. ”

“Analyzing the cause of failure is all you need to do is find that most critical failure factor in the failed project. ”

Qiu Hong drank coffee and shared his teaching ideas with “Ma Zheng”. His attitude was clear, and he wanted to obtain the consent of “Ma Zheng” whenever possible.

Pei Qian was delighted: "Great, I just want to learn the lesson of 'crashing into an ant cave’, please be sure to talk about it! ”

Qiu Hong nodded: "Well, in each of these next courses, I will talk about one key factor that can cause the project to fail. Believing in Equestrian wisdom in general will definitely avoid or come up with a solution. ”

Pei Qian revealed a smile: “That must be it. ”

Qiu Hong took a sip of coffee and sorted out his thoughts a little: “So for today's first lesson, I want to start with a more basic but most easily neglected aspect. ”

“Project management. ”

“The biggest difference between games, movies, animation, etc. and novels, self-media, etc. is that they are industries that require close division of labor. ”

“In other words, it doesn't matter if you're good by yourself. If your colleagues are a bunch of people touching fish and mixing their lives, you can't make any better ideas. ”

“Even a talented game producer needs a strong production team to turn their design into a successful game project. ”

“And people are inert. A lot of employees in gaming projects just think of their job as a wage earner and breadwinner, and they don't think of it as a career they're fighting for, so most of the time, their work motivation is suppressed by them. ”

“At this time, the means of project management became a top priority. ”

“One of the major reasons I failed to start my own business when I made a successful project was because I lacked the ability to manage the project. ”

“The pernicious consequence is that the development plan that I developed in my original company is always successful and can be extended by up to a week, whereas in my own company, the development plan is always dragged on and on and on, and even after multiple extensions, the game that I made still doesn't meet my own expectations. ”

“Each department always has a variety of reasons to push each other, as if everyone had done their part, but a closer look reveals that they do not seem to be pushing the whole project forward. Everyone delays a little bit and the development of the project completely collapses...”

Pei humbly listened, displaying a divine expression on his face.

Okay... so jealous!

Look at the staff, the boss doesn't have to say anything, he touches the fish!

And Tenda's employees? The boss worked so hard to encourage everyone to paddle and touch fish, they managed to work overtime one by one!

Except for envy, Pei Huan has learned nothing at all from this valuable failure experience.

According to Qiu Hong, failing project management will turn the company into a piece of sand, and no one can cooperate with the design, and can't do it at all.

But at this point, Pei Qian has doubts.

I haven't managed any projects at all?

So why did my staff not become a plate of sand, but a piece of iron?

I can't get a needle in, I can't get water in, I can't even fucking find a breakthrough!

Qiu Hong said these things, Pei Qian is very admirable, but it sounds like he still doesn't know what to do.

If, according to Qiu Hong, he fails by not doing enough, not making good use of project management to motivate employees, or by not effectively supervising lazy employees.

But Pei Qian wondered, Qiu Hung just didn't do enough, and he didn't do anything!

Not only did I not supervise the staff, I supervised them backwards and drove all the overtime dogs home!

As a matter of fact, I've already completed my mission in excess. Why is that counterproductive?

Was there a problem with me or with my staff?

It's really bald...
