Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

In the afternoon, the interview team from the official platform came to the incubation base on time.

A total of five people came to the interview team this time. The editor in chief was Xia Jiang. The team also had an intern editor, a photographer, a video camera, and a business.

Although it is not the highest specification interview team, this specification is still quite good, which shows that the official attaches more importance to this interview.

Xia Jiang is also a relatively senior reporter on the official side. He was responsible for an exclusive interview with Tenda Group before, and the effect was very good.

The "blank" style of interview, although there is no direct video interview with President Pei, interviews with other key employees of Tenda, highlighting the image of President Pei, is still the key information for many players to understand President Pei.

Xia Jiang himself gained a reputation from that interview, and his career went smoothly.

"Editor Xia, hello, hello."

Qiu Hong greeted him downstairs in advance with a very warm attitude.

Xia Jiang was also very happy: "Mr. Qiu! Fortunate to meet you!"

Everyone greeted a few words, and walked towards the incubation base in a group.

Qiu Hong said with some embarrassment: "It should have been arranged for a higher standard reception, but our conditions are limited. Please forgive me for any negligence."

Xia Jiang waved his hand: "Mr. Qiu is too polite. He plans to support domestic games and how many independent game producers have benefited. You don't have to care about such minor matters."

After everyone came to the incubation base and drank some drinks and took a break, Qiu Hong took Xia Jiang and others to visit.

Independent game makers are busy developing their own games. Qiu Hong introduced the operation mode of the entire incubation base to Xia Jiang and others, including daily diet, fitness and game arrangements for game makers, and tried several game demos. Progress is very smooth.

After understanding the situation of the incubator, the interview officially began.

Xia Jiang is a professional reporter, and of course he did some investigations on the incubator base and Qiu Hong before coming, and gained a preliminary understanding.

What makes Xia Jiang especially concerned about is Qiu Hong's professional experience in the gaming industry.

Qiu Hong first entered the business because of the inspiration of many domestic classic games. He devoted himself to single-player games. After polishing one game for two years, he even used his love to generate electricity for two months. In the end, the project fell through.

Since then, Qiu Hong has started to play krypton gold games. Although he has made a lot of money, he has never played a stand-alone game again.

It was such a game producer, but one day he suddenly started to work on the "poor road plan" and set up independent game incubation studios in Imperial Capital and Magic Capital, and began to invest money to support independent game development!

How did this mentality change?

Where did his money come from?

What kind of opportunity made him give up the krypton game and devote all his energy to independent games again?

Xia Jiang felt that this would be a perfect interview angle, and the key to this interview.

At the beginning of the interview, Xia Jiang first asked some questions about the incubation base.

For example, the daily work arrangements of the incubation base, what conditions are required for independent game producers to join the incubation base, the successful games that the incubation base already has, and so on.

Qiu Hong also answered truthfully one by one, neither exaggerating nor underestimating himself.

Xia Jiang quickly took notes, and finally, she felt that the time had come, and she turned her head on the subject of this interview.

"Mr. Qiu, there is a question I believe players and friends are very curious."

"As far as I know, it's not too late for you to enter the game industry, but you spend most of your time making online games and have achieved some success."

"But since last year, you suddenly turned your attention to domestic indie games, and launched the'poor road plan' to provide financial support to these independent game producers."

"Excuse me, what kind of mentality did you have at the time? Why did this change happen?"

Qiu Hong smiled embarrassedly: "This matter is a bit embarrassing."

"Although I am the ostensible initiator of the'Poor Journey Plan', in fact, this is not a plan proposed by me, and the funds are not from me. I am just an agent and executor."

Qiu Hong chose to tell the truth, on the one hand because he didn't want to be greedy for merit, on the other hand, because he couldn't hide it at all.

Qiu Hong doesn't have so much money himself, and an individual can see that it is impossible for him to pay for the incubation base by himself. Sooner or later someone will ask about the source of this money.

Rather than cover up, it's better to admit it generously, so that you don't have to do something good and feel like a thief.

Xia Jiang nodded slightly, as she expected.

Although Qiu Hong is a successful game producer, his income is much higher than ordinary people, but it is far from enough to support these two incubation bases.

Moreover, if you use your own money to raise an incubation base, people who have no problems with your brain should not do this.

Therefore, Xia Jiang had long suspected that Qiu Hong had other investors behind him to provide him with financial support.

Now Qiu Hong's answer confirms this.

Xia Jiang asked, "Can you tell us who your investor is and which institution it is?"

Qiu Hong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't reveal his identity."

Xia Jiang was a little surprised: "This investor, do good deeds without leaving a name? But is it necessary to cover up such things?"

The "Poor Road Project" supports domestic independent games. It is a great achievement in any way. If someone else does this kind of thing, they must spend money to advertise everywhere. After all, burning money to do good deeds is not just to gain a good reputation?

But this investor invested money and did good deeds without letting others know his identity. This is really...something different.

Qiu Hong said with emotion: "I am not sure why, but from his words and deeds, I can guess a general idea."

"I once asked him, what's the purpose of the'Long Journey Plan'?"

"He asked me back, why must there be a purpose?"

"In other words, he is actually not for fame or profit. He neither wants to make money from this, nor does he want to be said that he is fishing for fame. He just wants to silently do something meaningful for this industry."

"It's just like the name of the'Destroy Plan', which is simply to help independent game production companies and producers who have reached the end of the road and are about to persist."

Xia Jiang couldn't help but was deeply moved: "I didn't expect that there are people who care about domestic games like this. This noble character is really admirable!"

"Of course, Mr. Qiu, although you did not directly contribute capital, you manage both incubation bases in an orderly manner. You are also the investor's right-hand man. If you want to come, he will also be very grateful to you."

Qiu Hong smiled: "I am definitely grateful for him more."

"Strictly speaking, the'Poor Route Project' has not only redeemed many domestic independent game producers, but also redeemed me."

Xia Jiang's eyes lit up: "Huh? What do you say?"

Qiu Hong explained: "I am not afraid of a joke when I say it. In fact, the main reason why I have been doing online games and playing krypton games is mainly because of anger."

"When I entered the industry, I was full of love for domestic games, but this love was wiped out in the two years I made the first stand-alone game. The chaos and poor life of the domestic game industry made me There is a rebellious psychology of hatred because of love."

"At that time, I was still young, so I went to play krypton gold games when I was angry. There was only one thing in my mind, which was how to make more money."

"Later, I had no worries about food and clothing, and that kind of rebellious psychology has long since disappeared without a trace. But I dare not go back to the field of stand-alone games, because online games have become my comfort zone."

"The pressure of life in middle age has increased sharply, and I have no courage to leave this comfort zone and chase the illusory dream of single-player games."

"But this investor of mine should be regarded as a good friend. His words touched me very much. I should not let the sorrow of the times become my own sorrow."

"The Great Depression of domestic single-player games was the result of multiple factors. Although my enthusiasm was disappointed, I shouldn't have resentment towards anyone."

"In fact, I knew this in my heart. I just didn't want to come out and admit it in the comfort zone of online games."

"The'Poor Path Project' also gave me a second chance to help independent game producers fulfill their dreams. They are just like me when I was young, full of enthusiasm, but no experience and no money. Yes. I am sincerely happy and happy to help them."

"So, for this friend and investor, I am the one who should thank him most."

Xia Jiang recorded it carefully, and was inexplicably moved.

If it is true as Qiu Hong said, then this investor who does good deeds without leaving a name is really noble!

Not only did it help the economically struggling independent game producers, but also supported the development of domestic games with real money and silver. It also rescued Qiu Hong, a lost game producer, so that he picked up his dream again and set off again.

And such an investor, who has done so many good things, is still unwilling to reveal his name.

What kind of spirit is this!

Xia Jiang still didn't give up: "Mr. Qiu, can you really not reveal the identity of this investor? It's okay to give some side tips."

Qiu Hong shook his head very firmly: "Really not."

Xia Jiang felt a little regretful, but since Qiu Hong was determined, she couldn't get to the bottom.

There are so many big players and big companies in the game industry, and there are too many domestic investment institutions and funds. It is very difficult to guess the investors behind Qiu Hong without too many clues.

Although Xia Jiang was curious, there was no good way. He could only put it aside for the time being and finish his job.

After interviewing a few more questions and shooting a lot of information about the incubation base, Xia Jiang and the interviewing team prepared to leave.

The interview team had been to the Imperial Capital once before, interviewing Wu Zhicheng, the producer of "Ink and Cloud", and also shot a lot of materials.

After sorting out the information on the two places of the imperial capital and the magic capital, and then integrating the interviews of Wu Zhicheng and Qiu Hong, this interview on the incubation base of the "poor road plan" is even completed successfully.

Before the pre-sale of "Ink and Cloud", the "Long Journey Project" had already been popular once and attracted the attention of many players; this official interview will definitely go further and attract more attention!

"Mr. Qiu, our interview is here. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Xia Jiang was ready to leave.

"Where and where, this is what we should do."

Qiu Hong made a few more polite words. He originally wanted to stay with Xia Jiang and others for a meal, but was declined.

Qiu Hong didn't insist anymore, and kept sending the interview team to the car, only then returned to the incubation base to continue working on his own affairs.

In the car, Xia Jiang flipped through his shorthand notes, and then looked at the photos and videos taken by the photographer.

Looking at it, her brows frowned slightly, and a special feeling lingered in her heart.

"Strange, why do these two incubation bases feel a bit familiar to me?"

"The work position is very relaxed, the working environment is excellent, and everyone's work enthusiasm is very high."

"Regularly arrange for designers to play games to accumulate inspiration, and arrange for hosting fitness exercises."

"How can it resemble Tenda's style?"

"Could it be that... the incubation base of the'Poverty Road Project' has something to do with Tenda? The friend and investor Qiu Hong mentioned is actually President Pei?"

Xia Jiang didn't know why, but inexplicably recalled the experience he had made during the interview with Tenda before, and he matched the situation of the incubator base!

She herself was taken aback by this idea, but once she accepted this setting, she realized that everything seemed to be reasonable!

The investor Qiu Hong said is a bit too noble, and even makes people doubt his authenticity and whether he really exists.

But if this person is President Pei, then it wouldn't be strange at all!
