Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian put aside the plan of the annual meeting and plans to look at it later.

It’s not that he’s lazy, he still thinks it doesn’t matter what the annual meeting does. The priority here is not so high.

The first priority is to spend money, the second priority is to ensure that those industries that do not make money continue to be unprofitable, and the third priority is to make those industries that are already making money less profitable.

And the annual meeting will give benefits to employees, which is only a small part of the first priority.

"The most successful of this cycle should be regarded as the incubation base of the poor plan."

"So far, only two independent games have been launched, one that is well-received and the other is neither good nor well-received. In short, neither of them makes much money."

"And according to the development progress of Qiu Hongfa, the current progress of several novel games that he has given him high expectations are not up to the line, and they will be released next month at the earliest. It should not cause me trouble before the settlement. Now."

"Sure enough, the poor road plan still lived up to my expectations. At present, it is still a pure loss, and the outside world basically does not know that the poor road plan was made by Tengda."

"No fame and fortune, good!"

Pei Qian just turned over to the work report of Qiu Hong's incubation base there, and was very satisfied with the current state there.

However, at this moment, Pei Qian's mobile phone shook and Qiu Hong sent a new message.

"Mr. Pei, good news!"

"Today's "Office Worker Survival Manual" was officially released, and word of mouth and sales have exploded directly!"

Seeing this message, Pei Qian's previous smile froze in his face.

What the hell?

What is the "Office Worker Survival Manual"?

He hurriedly opened the report sent by Qiu Hong, which contained the names of all the independent games being developed in the incubation base, but it went through from beginning to end, and he did not see the so-called "Office Worker Survival Manual".

"What's the matter?" Pei Qian said for a moment, feeling that his mentality collapsed.

Say that the poor plan is definitely not making money this cycle?

Where is this game coming out!

...

At the same time, Royal Capital, Cherry Studio.

The studio's owner and producer Jiang Fan, as well as the main designer Yang Liang and others, are looking at the sales data in the background.

Although it is not yet New Year's time, this small team of four is as happy as the New Year.

Qiu Hong has also arrived, and the smile on his face can't be concealed.

The excited expression on Jiang Fan’s face was simply overwhelming: “Mr. Qiu! The success of this game is really thanks to your investment. If it were not for this money, our game’s completion would not be so high and development would not be so smooth. The plan of the poor road is really a gift from the snow!"

Qiu Hong smiled and waved his hand: "This is too polite. I actually just invested in an independent game according to the boss’s requirements. If you meet the conditions, I voted. In fact, I haven’t seen whether your game will succeed. ."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that the "Office Worker Survival Manual" could achieve such good sales and results. I thought it was the most small explosion, but I didn't expect it to be a big explosion!"

"I still have to thank you. Originally, there were no representative works in the poor plan. Although my boss has no accountability, I am a little difficult to communicate. Now that there is an explosive game, I have a bright face!"

Chief designer Yang Lianghan said with a smile: "In fact, the success of our game also has a lot of luck."

“There are so many ‘social animals’ today. Everyone is an office worker, and they feel empathetic and deeply disgusted with the phenomena of intrigue in the workplace and forced overtime.”

"Now is the end of the year. The news of the year-end awards and annual meetings of major companies spread throughout the network. Everyone is busy with lemons, and it has a natural topic."

"And the "Office Worker Survival Manual" shows the state of this kind of social animal very well, and it resonates with everyone. It spreads instantaneously, and this becomes an explosion!"

Qiu Hong smiled: "This game can explode, it is indeed inseparable from the entire environment. But your design and persistence are the root cause of the game's success!"

"Independent games are a chore. There are very few people who can persevere. The four of you either resigned to start a business or joined a salary cut. This spirit is the most critical factor that supports your success."

"Okay, don't look at the data, we have to celebrate and go out to eat barbecue, I invite you!"

Jiang Fan hurriedly said, "How can that be done, please let me please."

Qiu Hongyi raised his hand: "Don't fight with me, say that I invite is my invitation, everyone hurry to pack up, let's go now!"

Qiu Hong is as happy as Jiang Fan and others.

On the one hand, he was heartened to see the success of the independent game production team; on the other hand, he was also happy that a representative game had finally appeared in the poor plan.

Mr. Pei has high hopes for the poor plan, and as a result, no successful game has been produced so far, Qiu Hong can't hold his face.

Qiu Hong took money according to the amount of investment. Whether these games succeeded or not did not affect his income, but Qiu Hong would also feel uncomfortable if he hadn’t got any results.

The success of Cherry Studio was completely unexpected for Qiu Hong.

Because Qiu Hong's recent work focuses on the incubation base, but several games on the incubation base are still some distance away from the official launch.

On the contrary, it was Cherry Studio. Qiu Hong never paid attention after investing. Today, I suddenly learned that their game is on sale.

Cherry studio is not included in the incubation base.

Because the incubation base is for those game producers who are fighting alone and without supporting services, and the Cherry Studio is a four-person team with an office location and a clear division of roles. Although the sparrow is small and full of organs, it does not need to be included in the incubation base.

The only thing the Cherry Studio lacks is funding. After Qiu Hong directly plugged the biggest funding gap, the game’s art resources are quickly in place, and everyone has no worries. The working status has also been greatly improved. The game of "Office Worker Survival Manual" Naturally, it was successfully completed as scheduled!

The sale before the Spring Festival just happened to hit the hot spot in the workplace: the annual meeting, year-end awards, resignation tide, etc., which caused widespread resonance on the Internet.

As a representative game of domestic stand-alone games and independent games, it is naturally enthusiastically sought after by players. All of the game UP masters on Ellie Island have done video programs, and the good program effect has attracted more players into the pit.

Qiu Hong waited for other people to pack their things and eat, while waiting to swipe their phones and check the online reviews.

Can be said to be highly praised!

Although this is an independent game, there must be some flaws in the gameplay, system and art, but the theme is relatively new and can resonate with the player, so the tolerant players still ignored these flaws and gave it a high Evaluation.

For Cherry Studio, as long as these defects are corrected, the completion of the game will be further improved, and the evaluation can be higher.

Compared to hard-working development, subsequent modifications are simple.

After all, the game has been determined to be profitable. In the next few months, Cherry Studio will not have to worry about money at all. The game will be recognized by players and the work will be more motivated.

"Wait a minute, did I do something?"

Qiu Hong suddenly realized this problem.

He had always been a little confused about his job before, not knowing what to do.

Because he is responsible for the poor plan, he only invests in independent game studios and producers, and cannot interfere with the specific game design, so there is often a strong sense of power.

Looking at the two games that are online, sales are not good, and other games are not available for sale this month. Qiu Hong feels that he has no achievements in his work, but there is no good way to worry.

But now that the "Office Worker Survival Manual" is a success, this is the case!

With the popularity of this game, Qiu Hong intends to popularize the concept of "Poor Path Plan" to players.

There was no successful game before, even if the concept of "poor plan" is forcibly instilled in players, there will not be too many people paying attention. But now with a successful game, the situation is completely different!

Qiu Hong’s goal is to allow players to link to the "Bad Plan" as soon as they see excellent domestically produced independent games.

Whether it is for other independent game producers, or for Qiu Hong and the entire poor plan, this is a very important part.

"Yes, that's it. That's it. Let's use the "Office Worker Survival Manual" to make a publicity for the poor plan."

"At the same time, we will take out the DEMO and promotional videos that have been done in "Ink and Cloud Smoke", and open a pre-sale!"

Qiu Hong felt that he had suddenly found the direction of his job and became full of energy in an instant!

...

At the same time, Pei Qian is also searching for information about the "Office Worker Survival Handbook", but his expression is not as ecstatic or gratifying as Qiu Hong, but rather forceful and dazed.

The poor way plan is good, where did this broken game come from?

Moreover, this game can also be fired?

What's so hot about a game that restores the life of social animals?

Pei Qian just flipped it on the Internet, and soon found a high-profile player comment, expressing the players' love for this game.

"To be honest, no matter how it is played, the picture or the details, this game can't be regarded as very outstanding, or even fair. But the biggest thing is that the theme is selected well, very real, and it makes people resonate strongly."

"such as:"

"The company to join is called "Struggle Limited";"

"The game's explanation of no difficulty is: "There is no difficulty option in the workplace, because everyone is facing the HARD+ mode";"

"Unfulfilling the boss’s expectations, the boss’s satisfaction will decrease, and the chance of applying for a promotion and salary increase will be reduced. slow……"

"These points of resonance can be found everywhere. UU reading www.uukanshu.com shows that the designers of the game are also well aware of the suffering of social animals."

"And at the same time as the reality, this game has a lot of metaphors. If you jump out of the game and look at those options as a bystander, you will feel that your life seems to have been spent in this helplessness. Amused by black humor While knowing how to smile, you can't stop feeling bitter."

"In short, as an independent game, it has completely exceeded my expectations."

"Many people think that it is a good game to burn hundreds of millions of large-scale productions. There is no good game in China because it is not willing to burn money. Obviously this is not the case."

"A really good game depends on whether the designer really loves the game. Thanks to Cherry Studio, I will continue to support it in the future!"

"In the end, most of the ending of this game is a bit bitter. What is the ending of overwork, the ending of mental breakdown, the ending of the busy and ineffective, the ending of the middle-aged crisis... all are terrible!"

"It is strongly recommended to add a "Tengda start" so that we can also imagine the beauty of the workplace!"
