Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Previously, Yan Qi founded this studio as an investment, and also made money, giving this investment company a certain return. It stands to reason that it should not be difficult to make another investment.

But the problem is that this investment company is not one of the best in Jingzhou, nor does it have such strong financial resources. The previous investment in Yan Qi was because Yan Qi’s "Empire Blade" was his handy mobile game.

One step to a stand-alone action game, with such a big risk, there are not many investment companies willing to take over.

Everyone knows that stand-alone games have a high risk of failure. This is especially true for stand-alone games that are heavily invested and produced. In China, Pei can always guarantee a single game to make one game, but other companies are not good at it.

What's more, for mobile games and single-player 3A masterpieces, this investment is not an order of magnitude.

A few million may be enough to make a mobile game. Twenty to thirty million is quite affluent. It can also cover some of the promotional funds. However, the 3A masterpiece wants to guarantee a standard game duration of 20 hours, even in With the current level of technology, you can easily reach hundreds of millions.

Even if the process can be compressed, even if the game time can be extended with some repetitive gameplay, matching and other systems, in the final analysis, tens of millions of research and development funds are already the bottom line.

The research and development expenses of "Looking Back at the Shore" are relatively less expensive, because the whole story is relatively pure, not as complicated as "Militia".

This road has been taken by President Pei, and Yan Qi can only take another road.

But this time, the money is not enough.

Where can I get so much money?

Yan Qi was lost again.

"Huh? Why are you still struggling? Haven't figured it out yet?"

Li Yada slipped out and saw Yan Qi sighing in his seat again.

She thought to herself, shouldn't her savvy be so bad?

I have made it so clear to you. Even if the details of the game are not made, there must be a general direction and a big framework, right?

As for still sighing here?

Yan Qi smiled awkwardly: "Sister Li, I have an idea, but I have encountered a more serious problem..."

"No money."

Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Huh? The idea is already there? Let me take a look."

Yan Qi stepped aside, and Li Yada handed over a chair to check the design draft of "Military".

After reading it, Li Yada gave a thumbs up: "Yes!"

"I think this idea is quite good, at least it makes me feel bright, there is no such type of game on the market."

Yan Qi smiled bitterly: "But it's useless. If you want to make this idea completely without castration, the research and development expenditure will have to be 100 million, right?"

"Our small studio is definitely not available. We can only find investors. But the game industry is a high-risk industry after all. Who is willing to invest 100 million in a stand-alone game? It takes 35 million to a mobile game. Weigh!"

Li Yada was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I can help you figure out a solution."

"I happen to know a few investors, especially those with Yuanmeng Ventures, and the relationship is okay."

Yan Qi was stunned, his expression gradually becoming shocked.

Good guy, this is fine too?

Sister Li is really hidden!

At first, I thought she was an ordinary employee of Chaolu Game Platform, but in the end, Tengda knew people, and Yuanmeng Ventures also knew people?

Realizing Dream Venture Capital, isn't that just Tenda's investment company?

Could it be said that Li Yada resigned from Tenda to start a business?

That's impossible. With such a good welfare package as Tenda, how could someone voluntarily resign?

Well, it may also be related to the Chaolu game platform.

Yan Qi doesn't know who the investors behind Chaolu Game Platform are. This deep-seated boss is very mysterious, but knowing one thing, it is definitely not bad for money.

If you dare to play like the Chaolu game platform, you are definitely not bad for money.

It may also be that the boss behind Chaolu Game Platform knows these investors, and Li Yada, as the key employee of the platform, also knows these investors and can speak for themselves.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi seemed to see a ray of light: "Really? That's great!"

"but……"

Yan Qi still feels a little fictitious: "I heard that Dream Venture Capital is also a very independent investment company. It has a set of rules. If you want to get investment, you have to queue up, and the amount of money invested is fixed. No It may invest hundreds of millions at once."

"What's more, the game "Military" is still at the stage of conceptual drafting, and there is not even a demo. Even with your relationship, it is difficult to get investment..."

For investors, investment is a matter of business, and it is about the rate of return. It is impossible to invest hundreds of millions of dollars casually just because of a word from a friend.

If it were so sloppy, it is estimated that this investor would have already bankrupted himself.

Therefore, it's not that you can't trust this level of relationship, the key thing is not the trivial thing of borrowing three to five hundred yuan.

Li Yada thought for a while: "Well, I do have to do a little bit of preparation."

"Well, you follow the format of Dream Venture Capital and simply write a plan."

"I'll help you polish up, and introduce this game from my perspective, and see if I can impress... investors."

Li Yada almost said, "See if I can impress President Pei."

Because she knows very well that He Desheng must report to President Pei for such a large investment.

According to Mr. Pei’s character, most of them will support excellent domestic games, but as a subordinate, Li Yada has to truthfully report the risks and problems of this game, so that Mr. Pei can make the most correct decision.

If Pei always feels that it doesn't work, it means that this idea is unreliable and it is a failure to make it. Then Yan Qi is advised not to do it.

If Mr. Pei approves and is willing to invest, it means that the game is okay and can be developed with confidence.

Yan Qi nodded: "Okay, then I will write a plan."

He didn't have much hope, but since there is Li Yada's line, it is always right to give it a try.

Write a plan, and then write a first draft of the design, it doesn't cost much.

What if it can really attract investment? It's okay if it's less than 100 million, but 50 million!

At that time, you can sell the first trial version, engage in pre-orders, and maybe you can stick to it again.

The two went busy separately.

...

...

Saturday, November 10.

GOG Global Invitational Tournament officially kicked off!

On the other hand, ioi's global finals are also held at the same time. After all, both competitions are in Europe, and there are only a few weekends to choose from.

However, although the two games are played on Saturday, but the time is not the same.

GOG starts at 9 a.m. European time, which is equivalent to 5 p.m. domestic time, while ioi starts at 3:30 p.m. European time, which is equivalent to 11:30 p.m. domestic time.

Obviously, this is simply a question of choice.

Because there is a 6-8 hour time difference between Europe and China, the watching time on both sides will inevitably be staggered.

GOG is because Tenda, as the organizer, deliberately asked the game there to start in the morning. This way, although it is not particularly friendly to European audiences, it is relatively compromised and takes good care of domestic players.

And in terms of the schedule, most of the domestic teams' schedules are also forwarded. Players who are unwilling to stay up late can go to sleep after watching the domestic team's group game without staying up too late.

As for the ioi side, obviously they will not take care of domestic players too much. They want to seize the European market, and of course they have to arrange the game to the prime time in Europe.

As for the domestic audience, stay up all night, it really can't take care of it.

In the afternoon, the open space in front of the big screen of the Tenda Experience Store in Jinsheng Plaza was already crowded with spectators.

The offline viewing of the GOG Global Invitational can be said to be in full swing.

Many large shopping malls across the country have installed large screens in the halls on the first floor, and many movie theaters also use the vacant movie halls for watching events.

The most lively place for offline watching is obviously this open space in front of the Tenda Experience Store.

On the one hand, it is because the screen here is large enough to accommodate enough people. On the other hand, it is also because the GPL competition venue is on the opposite side.

During the GPL regular season, a large number of people gather here to watch the game every day, which has formed a trend and habit.

Although it is already November and the weather is getting colder, the crowd is surging and the audience is still very enthusiastic.

The game still has more than an hour to start, but the on-site activities have been arranged.

Chen Lei took the stage to sing, and the scene was broadcast live to other offline venues, becoming an exclusive benefit for domestic audiences.

In the square, several audience members are listening to Chen Lei's singing and discussing.

"It's nice to be able to invite Chen Lei to sing to the domestic audience and adjust the time of the game. It feels like the master of the domestic players on GOG is completely different from ioi."

"Chen Lei was also popular because of President Pei. He came back to sing a song, brushed his face in front of the players, and added some popularity to himself. This is a win-win situation."

"Who is this guest who sang with Chen Lei? It is not good, that is, the level of a bar singer, can you be on the stage like this? Or do you sing with Chen Lei?"

"Huh? That's Mr. Zhang from the e-sports department. The former head of Moyu Internet cafes, the head of ROF installation, and the current head of the DGE club and the e-sports department. The GOG games are theoretically under his ."

"Fuck it? How big is it?"

"That said, Mr. Zhang is so awesome, such a big guy can still sing to this level, Tenda is really talented!"

"Yes, according to the gossip, Mr. Zhang was also a bartender and resident singer in the Internet cafe at the earliest. Before Chen Lei came, he was the resident singer."

"and after?"

"Later? Later, I almost sang Moyu Internet cafe. Fortunately, Chen Lei took over and Moyu Internet cafe came alive."

"Jing nonsense, I don't allow you to slander my beloved Mr. Zhang so much!"

"Yes! Mr. Zhang sings so well! It is better than Chen Lei's sing! Mr. Zhang, I cheer for you!"

"Mr. Zhang, can you arrange the autographed photos of all the DGE players? Can you draw a draw for the limited peripherals of the GPL team?"

"Yes? Pick one of ROF's best equipped machines?"

"Mr. Zhang, please come on for the account of all heroes and skins!"

"I want to play professionally! Mr. Zhang, look at me!"

Upon hearing of Zhang Yuan's identity, the on-site wind commentary immediately turned around 180 degrees.

Everyone said that with such an identity and status as President Zhang, he even went to the stage to sing for everyone for free, and the singing was not bad, it was simply a profit!

Dear, click in, give a good comment, the higher the score, the faster the update, it is said that the new full marks are found at the end of the beautiful wife!
