Build a game empire from scratch

Although he wants to play games with Xiaomeng, Lin You doesn't intend to make the game mechanism and gameplay too complicated.

That would take too much effort and seem unnecessary.

So, what can you do to make playgrounds more welcoming with minimal effort?

Just thinking about it for a while, Lin You came up with a solution: it's time to use his "money money ability"!

The place to play is also obvious——

Buy IP!

All kinds of well-known and popular entertainment images, whether they come from movies or TV series, animation or comics, and even novel characters, are all available for purchase!

If it is only the richness of recreational facilities and the expansion of the land occupation, it can only change the playground from a "park playground" to a "large playground".

But if you want to become a truly top-notch and second-to-none playground, you must have IP operations.

In his previous life, he was nicknamed as having the strongest legal department in the western hemisphere, and he was one of the best.

For Lin You, this solution is undoubtedly the most worry-free.

As long as the current playground in the metropolis is directly copied, and then scaled up, the main body of the new game is completed.

Then spend as much money as possible to buy all relevant IPs that can be bought in this world, that have a good reputation, and that are not outrageously priced. Whether it is movies, animations, comics, cartoons, or toys, they are all in their pockets, and then they pack up all the IPs. Tucked into the playground.

Then customize some related programs, reproduce some scenes, and live together!

When the employees free up their hands in the future and continue to develop extended content such as simulated business operations and custom roller coasters, it will be released in the form of DLC.

Plan to pass!

Easy and refreshing!

...

...

...

The only problem is: Lin You feels a little bit of conscience.

This gave him the illusion of fooling players with an empty shell game...

The semi-finished metropolis was used as a prize before, because it was originally an addition, and as a part of the future virtual world, its importance is beyond doubt.

But the new game does the same. Without the most critical "participation and interaction" of the game, it seems very insincere, and I feel sorry for the players' trust.

No, we must engage in some playability!

Lin You began to think hard, and Xiao Meng also nervously leaned beside him, waiting for Lin You to come up with an idea and tell her what to do.

At a certain moment, Lin You suddenly thought of a TV show that is very popular in summer - "Boys and Girls Rush Forward".

It's a show that has truly lived on, even in an age of general TV decline, and it's still alive and well.

And there is never a shortage of people who sign up for the competition. Many up owners will also sign up when they have nothing to do, and they fly over to participate at their own expense.

In the virtual world, there is no need to be afraid of injury, you can enrich the track and add more types and more exciting challenge tracks!

It can even be made into an open track, so that all players can participate in it at the same time and compete with each other. It will be super popular, right?

"Boys and girls rush forward · multiplayer version · exciting arena"!

etc--

Thinking of this, Lin You suddenly had a subtle sense of déjà vu: Why did this kind of multiplayer track-breaking game seem to have been played before?

He thought hard for a long time, and then with the help of Xiaomeng secretly stimulating his thinking, he suddenly remembered: Isn't this the live-action version of "Jelly Bean Man"? !

So, the last question: can it be done?

The answer is obvious: too capable!

But before starting to make games with Xiaomeng, you have to contact Zhong Chang first, and the acquisition of IP still needs to be carried out simultaneously.

Anyway, in Daxia, even mainstream countries around the world are vigorously supporting the tertiary industry, and now that various entertainment industries are booming, it is absolutely impossible to lose money buying IP.

Just do it!

It's just that he just picked up his mobile phone to dial, but Zhong Chang called him first. After asking him about his location in the virtual world, Zhong Chang hurriedly logged into the virtual office to meet with Lin You who also just bid farewell to Xiaomeng.

Holding a stack of materials in his hand, Zhong Chang told Lin You excitedly: During the free day competition, Qingjin's brand was exposed and the effect was very good.

In the past two days, the discussion of Qingjin on the Internet has skyrocketed, and their marketing department is very optimistic about sales growth expectations.

Before the potential of this publicity was truly released, many brands couldn't wait and took the initiative to find Yunmeng.

These include four clothing brands, two trendy shoes, three sports drinks, two liquors and one cocktail.

Zhong Chang said excitedly: "There will only be more brands on the sidelines! But time is on our side! With the increase in sales of our games and the release of new games, the number of players will only increase. , the cooperation offer can also be higher and higher!"

"Yeah, very good, very good." Lin You nodded in approval, "Good job."

But in fact, Lin You said this entirely to encourage Zhong Chang and recognize his labor achievements.

In fact, he has never been very interested in selling advertisements to make money. Someone came to him and cooperated with him without trouble.

It doesn't matter if you don't have it, anyway, you don't expect to make money from it.

After Zhong Chang finished speaking, Lin You felt that he had almost praised it, so he asked what he was really interested in: "Find a big star with a good reputation and hold a concert in the virtual world. Is there any progress in this matter?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Chang was a little embarrassed, "It didn't go well."

"What's the problem?"

"Our goal from the beginning was to find veteran stars of the same level as heavenly kings and queens to cooperate with. It's just that these people's brokerage companies either see people in their nostrils, or they are too conservative and have a conservative attitude towards new things like virtual world concerts."

"Is it okay to add more money?" Lin You immediately thought of "money ability".

"No." Zhong Chang shook his head, "The top heavenly kings and queens are not short of money. And the most difficult thing is, I don't know what I mean, or the brokerage company is too strict, we can't get in touch with these heavenly kings or The queen herself. The brokerage company only took a fancy to our traffic, and recommended traffic stars to us."

"If it's not enough to go directly to the concert, what about buying the license of the video of the previous concert?" Lin You asked the next best thing.

"This is no problem, there are precedents." Zhong Chang breathed a sigh of relief, at least things did not fail, "It's just because we will use it in a new medium like virtual reality, so the asking price is relatively high. "

"Money is a small problem." Lin You waved his hand, not paying attention.

"Don't let this matter go, but don't bother, find an employee to follow up. After all, the live scene is much better than the re-enactment according to the video."

"Understood." Zhong Chang nodded.

"For the brand cooperation, you should train a deputy to take over as soon as possible, and there are more important things for you."

Hearing this, Zhong Chang's heart tightened immediately, and he secretly sighed that this job is really difficult to do.

Zhong Chang is not an idealist, nor does he have any grand ambitions. He is just a purer kind of worker.

From the very beginning, he came here because of Yunmeng's relaxed working atmosphere and a salary that was a level ahead of the industry.

It's just that he gradually felt that this job was much more complicated than expected...

Now that the situation has finally opened up, before he can feel complacent, he has to update the content again, which makes him feel a lot of pressure.

But the treatment given by Yunmeng is indeed first-class. As a wage earner who only wants to make money, what else can he do?

He could only nod seriously and say, "You say."

"There are two main things. The first thing is to bring some of your staff together to acquire relatively well-known high-quality IP images, especially those that children like and are suitable for putting in playgrounds, whether they are from movies, animations, or books. Or comics, it doesn't matter!"

Zhong Chang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this is not a difficult task, "How much should I buy?"

Lin You looked at Zhong Chang seriously: "Buy as many as you want! It's not limited to domestic, but the whole world, as long as it's a popular character, you can buy it all!"

Zhong Chang opened his mouth slightly, lamenting in his heart: I knew it was not that simple!

What does it mean to buy as much as you have? ! Boss, do you really know how outrageous this statement is? !

"You should expand your department as soon as possible. If necessary, you can set up a special team to be responsible for purchasing IP."

Lin You looked at Zhong Chang encouragingly, "In the early stage, you can borrow some people from Shen Ping's team. In the later stage, her team will also build a team to operate these IPs, so let's get acquainted with it in advance."

Seeing that the boss has made up his mind, and after thinking about how tough the boss is, Zhong Chang also resigned, "Understood, I will expand the number of people in the department right away."

"That's right, it's very necessary." Lin You said as he handed over a stack of information, which was exactly what Xiaomeng showed him, the information of several companies in Izumo and Baekje.

"Second thing, you should also pay attention to it. Get in touch with these companies to see their company's situation and get to the bottom of it. But don't rush to make promises. Make a comparison and study. We only choose A cooperative company must be cautious."

Zhong Chang looked at the information in his hand, and couldn't help complaining secretly: Good guy! You have to do two things at the same time on a business trip, and you have to buy an IP while talking about cooperation, which is difficult!

Lin You added: "Going abroad is a hard job. We can't treat everyone badly. The travel expenses are at the highest level. During the business trip, let's count as 5 times the salary. After the cooperation is negotiated, we will give you bonuses."

Zhong Chang was immediately convinced: "The boss is wise!"

A business trip can promote two things at the same time, killing two birds with one stone! What a reasonable arrangement!

The boss is the boss, there is a pattern!
