Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

, The fastest update to become the richest man in the latest chapter from the beginning of the game!

Tuesday, October 23.

At the entrance of Tianhuo Studio, everyone said goodbye to Mr. Pei.

Of course, this emotion of saying goodbye is not entirely due to friendship and other reasons, mainly because of the game.

This game hasn't even played a character at all, so how can you go, President Pei!

But President Pei seemed to not care about this at all, as if the game had already been done.

After the meeting yesterday, President Pei went back to the hotel to rest, and took Min Jingchao to have a meal with Zhou Muyan and others in the evening. He cleaned up a little this morning and was about to fly back to Jingzhou.

In fact, at the meeting yesterday, Zhou Muyan and other designers wanted to ask Mr. Pei more about the details of this game.

But first, after all, Min Jingchao is the chief designer. He said that it’s almost the same, and it’s hard for others to ask more; secondly, Zhou Muyan and these designers also want to try to figure out what Mr. Pei meant after returning. Look at the gap between yourself and top designers.

As a result, I tried to figure out all night, and all of them wore dark circles this morning. Obviously, I was a little skeptical of life.

Didn't figure out a fart!

If someone else said this, everyone would not think about it again if they couldn't figure it out, at most they would laugh it off.

But this is President Pei, the **** of game design!

If you can't figure it out, you will naturally continue to think, and it will be difficult to get into the horns.

Although he still has no eye on this game, Mr. Pei is going to leave, and it doesn't seem appropriate to stay and ask questions now.

Everyone wants to speak, but everyone is embarrassed to speak.

As a result, everyone's expressions were inexplicably tangled, as if they were being held back just about to sneeze, very uncomfortable.

"Then I'll leave first, everyone is destined to see you." Pei Qian smiled and his expression was unspeakable.

At this moment, Min Jingchao said: "Mr. Pei, after the meeting yesterday, I sorted out a few more questions. Can you ask me more?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Tianhuo Studio instantly became energetic.

Great!

It seems that Min Jingchao finally couldn't stand the pressure, so she asked!

Next, do you want to go back to the meeting room and discuss it more?

Only then did the style of painting become a little more normal.

Let's just say, how to design such a broad requirement?

It must be refined.

Everyone was waiting for Pei Qian and Min Jingchao to go to the meeting room, but the two of them didn't seem to have such thoughts, and they still stood where they were.

Pei Qian nodded: "Okay, you ask."

Min Jingchao deliberated a little: "Mr. Pei, should "Bullet Mark 2" be a plot mode like "Sea Fortress"?"

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Don't do it!"

When "Fortress on the Sea" was successful, the plot mode was a very important one.

On the one hand, the excellent plot mode is a good guide for novices. On the other hand, it also enhances the reputation of the game. It can be said to be the finishing touch of "Sea Fortress".

What's more, Pei Qian's original intention to make "Sea Fortress" a plot mode was to spend more money, but Huang Sibo and Bao Xu cleverly used scene reuse and simplified supporting roles to save money, and they didn't spend much money.

Pei Qian didn't plan to do it a second time like this kind of failure to get home.

Min Jingchao nodded slightly: "Then...the budget originally scheduled for the plot has been increased, so I can't cut it off."

Pei Qian laughed: "Spend it to other places, you can't save money."

"For example... well, the map can be made more."

"If the funds are not enough, we Tenda can also make up for it. This is not a big deal."

Zhou Muyan hurriedly said, "President Pei, don't worry, the budget is definitely sufficient."

He said that when Mr. Pei came up with an idea, Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group paid for it. How can Tenda pay for it.

If this matter spreads out, where will the faces of Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group go?

Pei Qian did not argue with Zhou Muyan either.

He said that he considered spending money on the map because it would not be appropriate to spend it elsewhere.

Spend more money on guns? Make character clothes? Make skin?

That's all paid points!

Don't make it into "Bullet Mark Warmth", it would be a tragedy.

Spend more money to play?

That doesn't work, it directly affects the gaming experience.

Only in terms of game scenes and maps, it is almost impossible to see if it is better, and it is not related to the payment point. There is no danger in spending more money.

Min Jingchao asked again: "So, in terms of gameplay, you definitely can't learn "Sea Fortress"."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Well...I think the messy modes such as ghost mode and biochemical mode can be removed."

"If conditions permit, the blasting mode can also be cut off."

At that time, "Sea Fortress" became popular because these novel modes attracted many ordinary players. If the marksmanship is not good, they can jump boxes and fight zombies in the biochemical mode, so they are very popular.

As for the blasting mode, this is the most tactical and professional mode in shooting games, and is deeply loved by **** players.

The feel of "Bullet 2" is biased towards **** players, and they definitely like the blast mode.

Min Jingchao thought for a while: "Isn't there only the basic mode of tumbling? The content is too little."

"Or, can I create some other patterns by myself?"

Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Uh...yes."

At the word "original", Pei Qian instinctively panicked.

But then I thought about it again, and felt that I was so flustered that it made no sense.

Compared with these mature models that have been verified many times, it is obvious that Min Jingchao has a greater chance of failing to develop his own brain and design a model.

Anyway, this is not my own project. Don't worry about losing money or making money. It doesn't matter if Min Jingchao let it go for a while.

Min Jingchao nodded: "OK, then I'm fine."

Zhou Muyan and the people in Tianhuo's studio watched by the side, even more bewildered.

Hearing Min Jingchao said that he wanted to ask for advice, everyone was very happy at first, and thought they could keep Mr. Pei for another meeting.

After all, "asking for one or two" is often a modest remark, and it is not surprising to ask for an hour or two.

In the end, Min Jingchao really asked one or two questions, and only asked two questions!

Although there are several back and forth dialogues between the two people, they are actually mainly focused on two issues. One is that the game does not have a plot, and the other is that the game has cut off many successful game modes verified by "Sea Fortress" and requires original game modes.

And after the discussion, it is still Yunshan Mist!

Min Jingchao did ask the question, but is this also an answer to President Pei?

And what the **** is Min Jingchao's satisfaction?

Pei Qian looked at his watch: "Okay, I should almost leave, the time is right."

"If you have any questions, you can call me and ask me."

Min Jingchao nodded: "Okay President Pei, leave it to me here."

Seeing that these two people sang and played together perfectly, Zhou Muyan couldn't say anything more.

Although there are still many questions, after all, Min Jingchao is the main designer of "Bullet Mark 2".

When Min Jingchao encounters difficulties in development, let him go to Mr. Pei for instructions. There is no better way.

Thinking of this, Zhou Muyan and Pei Qian got on the commercial car together and had to take them to the airport in person.

Seeing the commercial car go far, Sun Xi tentatively asked, "Brother Min, you really let President Pei go like this?"

"Many words can be explained face to face, but not necessarily on the phone."

"Should we not take this opportunity to ask more questions?"

Min Jingchao looked at the records in her notebook: "In fact, it's not too much."

"Even if you call and ask again, it's a matter of a few words, and it doesn't affect at all."

Sun Xi couldn't help falling into silence.

Good guy, Tenda is not a normal person.

In fact, President Pei, as the boss, is understandable a little bit maverick.

The point is that the designers under Mr. Pei are so independent, which is very outrageous...

In that case, be prepared and see how Min Jingchao performs!

...

In the business car, Pei Qian looked at the scenery outside the window in a good mood.

Ah, the business trip is really hard.

Go back to Jingzhou and get a good sleep.

Zhou Muyan suddenly remembered something, and leaned a little closer and said: "By the way, President Pei, there is one more thing I forgot to say."

"Before we simply determined that after the game is completed, the net profit of the game will be divided into 35%, 35%, and 30%. Even if it is fine-tuned in the future, the margin will not exceed 5%."

Pei Qian nodded, not paying attention.

This ratio is actually discussed at the beginning by Longyu Group and Tianhuo Studio.

These two 35% are divided by Longyu Group and Tianhuo Studio, and 30% is divided by Tenda Group.

In fact, it stands to reason that Tenda’s share should not be so high.

On the one hand, R&D funds and publicity funds are all provided by Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group. Tenda does not need to take any risks. On the other hand, this cooperation was originally for Zhao Xuming, and Tenda should also Take less.

However, after discussing with Tianhuo Studio, Longyu Group still felt that they should give more, mainly for three reasons.

First, he was worried that Tenda would be divided too little, and Mr. Pei didn't care at all, resulting in no money after the game was made.

If you can't make money, what do you want to share?

Give Tenda a little bit more, so that President Pei will pay more attention, and then earn more and get more points. It doesn't make much sense to be entangled in the specific ratio.

Second, ideas are the essence of a game, and finding the right direction is sometimes more important than execution.

Third, the announcement of this game is inseparable from the reputation of President Pei and Tenda.

When this game comes out, it will definitely be branded as "Tengda and Tianhuo Studio Joint Research and Development", and will also slightly publicize that this is a game designed by Mr. Pei.

This is not false propaganda, it is all fact.

Just hitting out President Pei’s name can generate a lot of heat, and this has saved a lot of publicity expenses.

This is like a lot of companies buying copyright, either by giving a large amount of copyright money at the beginning, or by giving a high share. Anyway, they have to show something.

So on the whole, both Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group feel that a 30% share can slightly increase Mr. Pei’s attention and give him a refresher on this project.

However, Pei Qian had no feeling about it.

He doesn't care how much the game is divided into, anyway, it is in the system funds, and he can't get into his own pocket...

Zhou Muyan continued: "However, other than that, our Tianhuo studio should also express something."

"After each game makes money, the project team will have a bonus commission. Of course, "Bullet Mark 2" is no exception."

"At present, the bonus of the project team is 15% of the net profit after being shared with other companies. I am also a designer, so I still respect talents. To put it humbly, this bonus is divided into more than most other game companies. It's going to be high."

"Of course, it's incomparable with Tenda."

"Among them, the most important core positions such as chief designer, chief art artist, etc., can be divided into about 2%. Basically, they are relatively leading in the industry."

Pei Qian nodded. He probably knew these numbers, but he didn't understand why Zhou Muyan wanted to tell him these.

Generally speaking, game companies do not have overtime pay, and most employees can only hope that the project can make money, become popular, and get bonuses.

The hotter the project, the more pro-rata bonuses. Many newcomers get into the right project because of good luck. It is normal for them to get tens of thousands or even higher bonuses per month after working for one or two years.

Of course, the specific internal division also depends on the importance of the position, and core employees such as chief designers are definitely the ones who get the most.

Many game company bosses are not designers themselves, and often do not pay much attention to their employees. The median bonus is about 5% to 8%. There are even many stingy bosses who don't pay a penny when the project makes a lot of money.

Zhou Muyan himself is a designer, and he pays more attention to talents. The bonus is 15%. He is already very competitive in the industry. No wonder he has a good reputation in the industry.

Players evaluate a company mainly by looking at its game pits; but people in the gaming circle evaluate a company mainly by its benefits.

As long as the salary is sufficient, it is a good company for employees.

Zhou Muyan continued: "So, Brother Min, as the chief designer, will definitely receive this bonus in accordance with the regulations, and there will be no less money."

"Mr. Pei, you are the inspiration and producer of this project. Of course, you should have a bonus."

"According to our ratio, if it is higher, Brother Min should get 2%, and Mr. Pei you get 4%."

Approximately, the total project bonus is 15%, of which the producer takes 4%, the chief designer, the main art and other three or four core members take about 2%, and the remaining 4% to 5% of the money is the whole project team. Divide together.

Don’t think 2% is less. If a game’s monthly net profit can reach 10 million, 2% is 200,000 upwards.

As a worker, he can get a bonus of 200,000 yuan every month, which is already a pretty fantastic figure.

Moreover, a lot of money will also be given out in other forms such as year-end awards. As long as a successful game can be made and the company is not very picky, this reward is still relatively generous.

Of course, this is based on the extremely low success rate of the game.

As for Zhou Muyan and the company's leadership...their bonuses are of course distributed from the company's overall profitability.

Only 15% of the net profit of a game is given out as a bonus, and the remaining 85% is obviously used for the company’s various expenses, daily operating expenses, and additional performance bonuses.

Pei Qian's expression instantly became serious.

4%?

Damn it, that's a lot!

If this game has a net profit of 10 million a month, can I get 400,000 a month?

Calculated in six months, isn't it 2.4 million?

Of course, tax deductions must be considered, but in any case, it is equivalent to a loss of 24 million or a profit of 2.4 billion in settlement?

Ah this...

Pei Qian was at a loss for a moment.

Zhou Muyan hurriedly added: "Of course, the money is certainly not important to Mr. Pei, it's just a matter of mind, and the process that should be followed still needs to be followed."

Not to mention that Tenda makes so many money-making games. For the game "Bullet Mark 2", Tenda can also be divided into 30%, which is almost the same as the division of Tianhuo Studio.

How to divide Tenda's income? Isn't that just a word from President Pei?

Therefore, this matter is a little redundant. If someone changes to someone, such as Lin Chang, he will not mention this.

But Zhou Muyan himself is also a designer, so he looks at the problem from a different perspective.

He feels that he actually has two identities, one is the management and the other is the producer.

As a game player, getting the project bonus is an affirmation of one's own labor and design. There is not much money, but this link cannot be omitted.

Earn two cents, but the nature is different.

Since President Pei is also a designer, this extra money is an affirmation of his work and should be regarded as an act of icing on the cake.

Of course, Zhou Muyan didn’t think this matter was very important either. Yesterday’s meeting was in a public place. So many people watched it and it’s not appropriate to openly discuss this issue. So until today, I took Mr. Pei to the airport and took the opportunity to speak .

Pei Qian froze on the spot.

Because he found that the system did not warn, that is to say, as to whether Pei Qian is qualified to receive this commission as a producer, the system's attitude is rather vague, at least neither prohibits nor opposes it.

The sudden happiness made Pei Qian a little dizzy.

But at this time there was only one thought in his mind.

Why didn't you say it earlier!

You said before the meeting, I don't mind spending a little more energy to help you design and design, think of some fun ideas and so on!

Now, I don’t think it is possible to look back!

From Zhou Muyan's perspective, President Pei at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com decided to go to the airport. As soon as he heard that there was a 4% project bonus, he returned to the meeting on the spot and redesigned the game?

Is that fair?

I have already installed the force, and I am ready to go to the airport smartly, now I can only continue to install it with tears...

Pei Qian felt very melancholy, and his mood suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Originally, I didn't want to make money in the game. After all, there is a 30% share. And this is an attempt to lose money. After success, you can learn from experience and continue to lose money.

But now when he heard that he could get the bonus from Skyfire Studio, Pei Qian was not calm.

If the game loses, the bonus points are gone. Although the failure experience is gained, it is hard to say whether the failure experience can be realized!

Sitting in the seat of the commercial vehicle, Pei Qian suddenly choked silently while looking at the scenery passing by the window.

This meow... life is impermanent...
