Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Qiao Liang flipped through the promotional materials of these old games, and each one was full of childhood memories.

At that time, he didn't have any financial ability, and naturally he couldn't talk about buying genuine game support, and even now his memory of these games is completely blurred.

Therefore, seeing these classic games, Qiao Liang still feels very nostalgic.

"Don't say anything, buy a replacement ticket!"

Qiao Liang didn't look through it carefully, and directly paid for the collection.

This collection is not cheap, there are a total of eight games in it, and the price of each game ranges from tens of yuan to more than 100. This collection is a 40% discount, and the total price is 588 yuan.

Even the discounted price is quite expensive. After all, these are old games more than ten years ago, and the gameplay is completely behind the times, not to mention the graphics and game mechanics.

As far as games are concerned, the money is definitely not worth spending.

But for hardcore players like Qiao Liang, the money is actually equivalent to "returning the ticket."

Now Qiao Liang's life is getting better and better thanks to games. It is understandable to buy a few games to support the development of domestic games. Besides, the materials of these games can be used as videos in the future (probably).

After payment, Qiao Liang looked at these games.

"Landlord Game, I really miss it, but it's a pity that this game requires many people to play together to make it interesting."

""Fighting Heroes", this can be considered a generation of gods."

""Yu Jian Qing Yuan" is considered to be the top quality in this batch of games, but it is a pity that the subsequent sequels become more and more general."

"Three Kingdoms Conquer? This game is very ordinary, right? There were not many players at the time, and it was imitating foreign games. It is barely acceptable to draw a general from the dwarf, but it is not a good game."

"..."

"I will endure "Three Kingdoms Conquest", what is this?"

Qiao Liang looked at these games. The styles of the previous games are still normal. Although the types and qualities of these games are different, some are well-deserved classic games, and some are relatively niche, but overall It's barely acceptable.

As a result, I suddenly found out that a strange thing had been mixed in.

""Mission and Choice"? Isn't this the legendary national travel shame?"

"Why is this rubbish game hanging up to cheat money? Why is it selling for more than 100 yuan!"

"Official brain pumped?"

Qiao Liang almost thought he was wrong.

He hadn't played "Mission and Choice" back then, mainly because he had no financial means at that time, and it was impossible to persuade his parents to spend more than 100 yuan on this game.

Later, the reputation of this game collapsed, and there was no need to buy it.

Of course, Qiao Liang has not played this game, which does not mean that he has never heard of the legend of this game "shocking the world".

Therefore, now that it appears in this collection of domestic games, it is even more incredible.

"Only this gadget will sell for a hundred quick?"

"Five yuan is too expensive!"

"Hey, wait a minute, is this an official version of the game that has been improved?"

Qiao Liang suddenly felt that this matter seemed not as simple as he thought.

He immediately clicked on "Mission and Choice", wanting to see if this is the official version that has fixed bugs and improved gameplay.

...

Ten minutes later, Qiao Liang left the mouse and keyboard with both hands, looked at the lake view outside the window, and began to think about life.

This game hasn't changed at all!

A sparse picture, perfunctory sound effects, game bugs can be seen everywhere...

Qiao Liang had not been poisoned by the game "Mission and Choice" before, but this time he still did not escape!

As for why he insisted on playing for ten minutes, it was probably a kind of curiosity that was driving him.

He wanted to see, what kind of garbage can this game be?The government really put it up without any changes?

Now that I figured it out, this game is really useless, and it is officially released without any changes!

Of course, if the idea is to "enrich the official platform game library", "keep the shame in mind", and "honestly record the rubbish games as a wake-up call for all game companies", the "Mission and Choice" will be put on the official game platform again. There is nothing wrong with it.

But what does it mean that the official also mixes it with other contemporary domestic games for collection and joint promotion?

Contrast how good other games are?

Qiao Liang was speechless. He went back to the table and took a look. When this game collection was purchased, it was bundled with a 40% discount, but each game can be refunded separately, and the refund conditions are extremely loose.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but suddenly: "Oh, I understand."

"This official collection actually has the effect of'remembering bitterness and sweetness'."

"The selection of this collection is not the best game of that era, but the most topical, representative and even the most controversial game of that era!"

"There are very good classic games here, such as "Landlord Game" and "Fighting Heroes". There are also relatively niche, low-selling but relatively special types of "Three Kingdoms", as well as poor quality negative teaching materials. "Mission and Choice"."

"The official setting of this option that can be refunded separately is because we know that players will definitely not accept some of the games."

"So players can choose games they are not interested in to refund, and will not suffer financial losses."

"That's it, it makes sense."

Qiao Liang soon thought of a relatively reasonable explanation.

This is exactly what Meng Chang wants to achieve.

Meng Chang had already thought that in this "domestic game collection", the game "Mission and Choice" would definitely look out of place.

If other games are the kind of classics that are worth collecting all the time, isn't it too obvious that "Mission and Choice" is included in this collection?

Therefore, in order to reduce the suspicion of players, although the eight games selected in this collection are classic games more than ten years ago, not every one is worth the money. For example, "Three Kingdoms" is a relatively small one. A game that is popular, not sold well, and has a good reputation, but is unique enough.

Then open a special refund option for a certain game, you can minimize the chance of being discovered.

Meng Chang also considered whether to set up this collection to be sold as a package for all other games. Only "Mission and Choice" needs to be purchased separately, so that the chance of "injury" can be minimized.

But he changed his mind. This is tantamount to excluding "Mission and Choice" directly. It is too strange, and it is easy to cause some strange associations among players.

So, in the end, I chose this way of mixing fish and pearls.

Facts proved that this method was quite effective, and Qiao Liang was deceived.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Tenda's confidential work is done well.

The outside world does not know that Tenda is developing a remake of the game "Mission and Choice", and most people will not think about it, and Qiao Liang is no exception.

He opened his fan group and found that there were also sporadic messages in the group discussing this collection.

It just didn't cause much disturbance. After all, most players didn't have much interest in this kind of old antique game. People like Qiao Liang are ultimately a minority.

Several brothers complained about the game "Mission and Choice", and then they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming information in the group, and soon disappeared into the invisible.

Qiao Liang didn't take it too seriously either. There are so many games that he "likes plus one" every day. Most of the games may not even open, and today's game collection is no exception.

Unless it's that kind of special big production, he can't wait to open the game immediately and pass the level in one go.

Only after turning off the game collection, Qiao Liang fell into confusion again.

What should I do?

There is really no inspiration recently, and the updated video has been around for a while.

Suddenly, Qiao Liang's inspiration flashed.

"Make another issue of "Trash Game Tucao"! Didn't "Mission and Choice" just provide the material."

Qiao Liang suddenly thought of a good way to water video.

Although the game "Mission and Choice" has been repeatedly whiplashed as a shame for a national tour, but in recent years, the UP owner of whiplash has almost disappeared.After all, this game is too old, many players do not know it, the heat has long passed.

Qiao Liang felt that it would be a good thing to make a video at this time to tell the audience about the garbage game that rotten out of the sky in the past!

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang made up his mind and will do this for the next video!

...

...

At the same time, Pei Qian sat in the car and yawned.

The sun outside is good, it makes him warm.

It should have been a good nap at this time, but he couldn't sleep because he had something to deal with.

In the morning, Jiang Yuan, the person in charge of OTTO Technology, called and said that the artificial intelligence laboratory was almost ready. He hoped that Mr. Pei would come to inspect and guide the work.

This time, it directly acquired a company that studies artificial intelligence, and dug a few technical backbones from other companies such as Xunke Technology.

This company has already achieved some results, but it cannot be compared with leading companies like Xunke Technology.In order for the two parties to better communicate and collaborate, dozens of employees of this company have all moved to Jingzhou, and OTTO Technology will arrange accommodation and office space for them.

Of course, some employees of the original company resigned because they didn't want to leave the original city, but only a few people. After all, the premium for digging people was very high. Everyone knows how good Tenda is.

Although the heavily dug-out team already has some research results and can run smoothly even if it is completely ignored, Jiang Yuan feels that it is still necessary to let President Pei guide and guide and determine the direction of the research.

After all, artificial intelligence is related to many industries of Tenda. This technology has many branches. The specific direction of development may affect President Pei's overall layout of Tenda's industry.

For Pei Qian, he really needs to twist the research direction of this artificial intelligence laboratory a bit, and try not to let it have too much positive impact on his current industry, and ensure that there will be no more than tens of millions of dollars after spending. Too many useful results, so that I can continue to throw money in it with confidence and boldness.

Soon, OTTO technology arrived.

Jiang Yuan was already waiting downstairs, and directly led Pei Qian to the office of the artificial intelligence laboratory.

"President Pei, this is the head of the artificial intelligence laboratory, Shen Renjie."

Shen Renjie seems to be nearly forty years old, dressed more casually, has the qualities of a programmer, and seems to be a more pragmatic person.

After getting to know each other, Shen Renjie said: "President Pei, how about I call the key members of the laboratory to introduce, and then explain to you the current research results of our laboratory?"

Pei Qian raised his hand: "No, I don't worry about your work, let's go directly to the topic."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Also, let's go to the conference room to talk."

The three came to the meeting room and took their seats.

In fact, Pei Qian doesn't care about the composition of the laboratory's personnel or research results. He only cares about whether the laboratory can continue to burn money for himself safely.

So, get a good name first and look for a good sign.

Pei Qian took a sip of tea and asked, "Does the laboratory have a name?"

Shen Renjie replied: "Yes. The name of our laboratory was the'Kirin' artificial intelligence laboratory, because the kirin is a kind of beast of our ancient China. It is extremely intelligent and has auspicious meaning. The theme fits better."

Pei Qian's brows immediately frowned, and he shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Jiang Yuan said: "Then just call AEEIS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. After all, AEEIS is our current main artificial intelligence product. The name is nice and easy to remember."

Pei Qian shook his head again: "It's still wrong."

Good guy, is it okay to call a unicorn?

This name is too domineering, so Pei Qian always has a strong sense of crisis.

It is not appropriate to call AEEIS artificial intelligence laboratory, because AEEIS is already on fire, and Pei Qian does not want to bring this artificial intelligence laboratory into fire.

Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie looked at President Pei, and that meant that this would not work, that would not work, would you give a suitable name?

After thinking about it for a moment, Pei Qian said: "In my opinion, it's called the'Punma' Artificial Intelligence Laboratory!"

Calling Kirin is inappropriate, then let's do a reverse operation!

The so-called sloppy horse refers to a horse with poor qualifications and not outstanding, also known as a crappy horse.In layman's terms, it is an inferior horse with a stupid brain and slow running.

Pei Qian vaguely remembered the saying in an ancient text somewhere before: "Horse counts three things, one is the army horse, the second is Tianma, and the third is the horse."

It probably means: there are three types of horses, some are war horses for fighting on the battlefield, some are field horses for plowing the land, and there are horses that are not used for eggs.

I named this artificial intelligence laboratory "Huma" because I hope that the artificial intelligence researched will be stupid and dumb, and the research speed is also very slow, and in the end it will be useless.

Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie were both stunned.

"Punma" artificial intelligence laboratory?

This name is too unremarkable!

Isn't the previous "Kirin" very nice?Good guy, this is downgraded directly, don’t you know how many grades can it be?

Pei Qian has an unpredictable expression, anyway, as long as he is not guilty, it will definitely be someone else.

"Then, this is the name!"
