Chapter 174: I'm sorry I only trust money
Speaking of which, Xiaokang recruited a lot of VR algorithm experts at the beginning, but in the end it was decided to focus on AR, the milestones were not moved, and the product line was adjusted, so some of these experts were temporarily seconded to Yu Wenhui.
By now, the VR development of "Enemies of Rome" has actually entered the final stage, but optimization is a big project.
In order to provide users with a high-quality experience, VR is the first device, and the second is the application. In terms of equipment, there is no threshold for stacking hardware in the domestic production environment, but in terms of algorithms, there are still some gaps with foreign manufacturers in terms of how to call these hardware efficiently and with high quality, such as camera tracking algorithms, such as pupil recognition.
(Thanks to Qingfeng Mingyue for providing this chapter)
The main reason is that people have abundant funds and start early, and the country needs to catch up fiercely and needs to invest a lot in research and development costs.
In terms of applications, the most important thing in the development of mobile VR games is productization. In this regard, it seems that no domestic company can come up with a good product, let alone a killer level.
When 5G becomes widespread on a large scale and cloud gaming becomes mainstream, productization may be simpler, and optimization efforts such as optimization may become less important. But it's still important, so Yu Wenhui gave his team two months to optimize.
Chu Yuanxi actually couldn't help much, but he felt that everything was ready and only Dongfeng was owed, and even the dream factory that might have been delayed was completed on time, and Mu Lian's side had exhausted all the strength he could do, so now it's up to Yu Wenhui.
Soon the time came to October 16th, the day when Milestone 7 was launched, and it was also the day of the collective climax of black PR.
Chu Yuanxi sneered and looked at the copywriting of the black publicists, and said in his heart that the people who can hack the well-off really seem to have two brushes, and they have evolved from brainless black, and the methods of digging black spots are becoming more and more professional, so they almost come up with a few fake contracts to confuse the public. It's a pity that Xiaokang has never done any business planning with the purpose of pit customers, if Xue Jianhua's franchise plan was adopted, it would have been hacked.
Now you can only hack and hack the well-off to invade user privacy, and there are financing braggadocio data bubbles, which is relatively virtual.
Some of these copywriters Chu Yuanxi looked familiar, and said in his heart that this was not the batch of copywriters that gave Feng Lin a headache before? Why did you change the position of both sides A and B and scold Xiaokang again?
In the first half of the year, Xiaomi launched MIUI12 to SM all the apps in the Internet industry, exposing a large number of votes to play self-starting, associated wake-up, stealing user data, and secretly deleting user data, but this is relatively rare. One of the most magical is wake-up, an inconspicuous APP can wake up dozens of equally inconspicuous apps that can't be beaten at the same time.
The most actively evoked, such as the likes of 100 X slashes, has it everywhere, and Douyin must be among the top three in the national APP that is most active in obtaining users' mobile phone information. These chicken and dog thieves were suddenly exposed, which is equivalent to not only SM but also being dropped by Xiaomi.
The third-party push service was also stripped naked and put under the searchlight, and the concept of keeping alive whitelist was also popularized, in short, a big earthquake in the industry was formed.
Of course, the well-off is also within the scope of being shocked, because the matter of keeping alive is mutual, which makes people unable to help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to be alone.
Of course, this is also a relatively large black spot that black PR can grasp. Health coin is a mining function that requires users to be online continuously, which itself is inextricably linked with wake-up, and has a higher demand for mobile phone information, otherwise how to verify the blockchain? To send money to users, it is natural to prevent users from swiping money, and coins that do not do risk control cannot be good coins no matter what they are called.
But in an era when user privacy is being treated roughly, it is naturally at the bottom of the chain of moral contempt.
But Chu Yuanxi is still the same, no matter how many ways you come, I will go all the way, no matter who dares to hack over, it is a set of combination called "Health Coin to Create Cash" to fight back, and it is also miserable - I will send you money, and I am not allowed to verify it? I will send you money if I don't verify, you are also an adult, you should know that it will not be sent for a few days.
So the darker the user, the more it is.
In addition, there are still some diehards in the industry who do not believe in the data of the well-off, or make more interpretations.
The number of users of Xiaokang is more than 10 million, which is the effect of eating into the fresh front warehouse and starting a business, which has more than doubled.
However, it still has to be digested for a while, and the quality of that group of users is far inferior to the users obtained by Xiaokang itself, whether it is activity, purchasing power, the proportion of time and the participation of various functions, it is much worse. That is, continuous stimulation.
But in the eyes of many people, this is a certain "peak of life" of the well-off. In particular, some people also divide well-off users into two types of people, shopping and consumption-based, and health coins-based. Then go to the test to eliminate the health coin users, that is, how many people are well-off in addition to simple online earning users?
Shopping is a normal convenience store user, and Health Coin is an Internet user, and there is indeed a difference between the two.
According to the standards of Internet companies, assuming that tens of millions of users are real, even if it is a decent data, note that this is the number of users, not the number of daily active users. But if you use the standard of online earning apps, getting 10 million users is just unsatisfactory. In the future, even if Xiaokang continues to expand its operation area, it can be expanded to 20 million, and there are even some people who will go down in the prediction.
In other words, not all of these data parties are sunspots, and some of them are serious analysts, which makes people angry and funny. This algorithm is very unreasonable, but Chu Yuanxi doesn't care, because it's not necessary.
As more and more people in the industry pay attention to the well-off, on the 16th, the sunspots suddenly found out what's the matter? Xiaokang actually makes LBS games? And it's also a combat type? This idea makes people can't keep up?
In particular, a few of the well-off are even more outrageous, this development direction is a foot in the sky and a foot in the ground, this thing is not a copycat?
However, this is impossible for a goose, so even if you don't want to be black, you have to be black, there are attacks on Chu Yuanxi's addiction to storytelling, there are attacks on Xiaokang to make games that are nondescript, and there are attacks on the game itself, in short, if you want to find fault with a product, can you find fault?
Chu Yuanxi saw what this was for? Forcing me to explain to investors why we wanted to develop this kind of thing?
Indeed, I have done so many roadshows without saying that there are games in the R&D direction of the well-off, and the R&D expenses of the monster city are not low.
You must know that if you take out the demon city alone to set up a game company, you can do this to the extent that the product can be burned to this extent, and there will always be tens of millions of burns, of course, you can save a lot of map funds within the well-off, but the cost will still not be an easy number.
The question is, Chu Yuan Xixin said that you are mistaken, why do you think I still need to beg investors to invest in me?
Therefore, Chu Yuan ignored it, he had more important things, and it was time for "Jixia School Palace" 2 to start filming.
In this variety show, Qi Yu, the host of the first generation, did not join the second season for some indescribable reason, and even did not give the queen of Wuyan a chance to appear in terms of content design, so it was still on the hot search. However, it is not surprising that Baren Media quickly found Shen Mengchen, who had a good cooperative relationship, to return to her old profession, so there is nothing to question in the industry.
The choice of Zhuangzi is a problem.
The second season has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of making a name for the well-off in traditional channels, so the cast as a whole must be improved. This is also one of the reasons why Qi Yu is not in Chu Yuanxi's consideration at all, although Qi Yu's popularity and traffic have increased because of the good work in the first season, but she is still a breath away, which can be seen from the fact that she didn't receive any weighty invitations in 2020.
Although the overall environment is extremely bad, as a star artist who still occupies an important position in the popular program at the beginning of this year, this business ability is enough to explain something.
Shen Mengchen actually had a little bit of a requirement for the coffee position, but because he had a good cooperative relationship before, he was able to hit the line.
But the candidate for the male lead can see Chu Yuanxi's head hurt, Yang Yuanmei According to the connections of Ba Ren Media, the schedule of the other party and the difficulty of the code cast, as well as the consideration of acting skills, costs, etc., the candidates given are Huang Xuan, Zhang Jin and Lin Feng.
Not to mention popularity, it doesn't look at age, the youngest Huang Xuan is also several years older than Chu Yuanxi, and the other two are over 40. The older ones are in line with Zhuangzi's character design, but they don't fit the character design of variety shows!
"Acting! Of course, candidates must have acting skills, you can't just look at fresh or not!" Yang Yuanmei said that if you take finding little fresh meat as the standard, then you can't eulogize me?
"It's better to find Lei Dalong, it's all invisible coffee anyway. Lei Dalong is a genuine actor, are you convinced of your acting skills?"
Yang Yuanmei's eyes rolled: "Then why don't I find two aquatic giants?"
"You spare me, let's not talk about big names like Zhang Yixing and Yang Yang?"
"Ignore other people's schedules and use money purely to smash it?"
"That's definitely not going to work!" Chu Yuan Xixin said in his heart, wouldn't he become a fool if he smashed it with money, and the money would come quickly?
"This doesn't work, that's not good, Mr. Chu, you are sober!" Yang Yuanmei once again used the title of "Mr. Chu" to make chrome hard, "In the end, our media company has only been working for less than two years, and the real performance is only one year, do you think we are invincible in the industry?"
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. ”
In Ba Ren Media, Zhu Wei is currently mainly responsible for film and television, Yang Yuanmei is responsible for the division of labor of variety shows, and as soon as Chu Yuanxi compromised, Zhuangzi locked Huang Xuan as the actor.
Compared with the cast, what Chu Yuanxi needs to worry about more is Elizabeth's financing. The reason why I need to worry more is because Elizabeth didn't ask for instructions early and report late at all because of how to negotiate on her side, and she talked about it alone and did not refuse, and finally reported the results to Chu Yuanxi, hoping that he agreed.
Chu Yuanxi said I definitely don't agree, promising to loosen the tie does not mean agreeing to completely let go, Xiaokang will definitely have the power of life and death, what do you want to do in one step? Diluting Xiaokang's voting power to below 67% is absolutely unacceptable.
When he saw the report, he felt that his communication with Elizabeth was not thorough enough. The so-called thoroughness means that there is no need to hide it and there is no need to save any face, he loosened the reins this time in fact, what he wanted Elizabeth to get was only a change of identity and a small amount of equity.
In the past, Elizabeth was equivalent to the manager of well-off Southeast Asia, just like Zhao Jie as the manager of the Ba Ren game, he had power but no equity, he got a salary and bonus, only a little option, and the vast majority of the equity was in the hands of the Ba people.
Still taking Zhao Jie as an example, assuming that the game is only loosened, after completing the process, Zhao Jie should get an incentive linked to performance, complete the KPI to obtain equity, and at the same time introduce a part of external shareholders, Baren Group still holds more than 67% in the case of Zhao Jie completing this incentive, forming an absolute controlling stake.
Instead of Zhao Jie finding a sum of money, he invested in shares through a certain structure, so that he could form a shareholding group through forms such as nominee holding and agreements, and finally formed a situation in which he personally controlled more than 35% of the voting rights.
Elizabeth's plan is to use the company she personally controls to inject capital into the investment unit through capital operation, and together with her personal options, assuming that the KPI can be achieved, it will add up to about 20%. The investment syndicate also gave her a certain amount of voting rights in addition, and the shareholding of the Ba people fell to less than 66%.
Chu Yuan Xixin said that God knows what Elizabeth promised to go out behind her back when she talked about such a genius plan?
Of course, he also knows that the taste of a knife hanging above his head is uncomfortable, so the concept of life and death can be diluted, but it is impossible to accept it, otherwise Xiaokang Southeast Asia may become a stinky move in Chu Yuanxi's entrepreneurial career.
"My dear, do you know that there is a word called 'forcing the palace' in the dynasty? Don't you know how many people are planning to copy the system and functions of the well-off? I would rather the investment in the well-off Southeast Asia fail, and all of them will be wasted, and I will not agree with your plan, you understand?"
Chu Yuanxi sent his "axe" plan as he spoke, and Elizabeth frowned at that time during the camera.
"Listen, dear, the current situation is that the technology and architecture of the well-off are more valuable than the well-off Southeast Asia, and you can't let me take the risk of high value for the sake of the low value. ”
"But ......" After a simple mental arithmetic, Elizabeth rubbed her face: "Only give me 6%?"
"It's stronger than the original plan, isn't it?"
Elizabeth's chest is also hilly, and she silently accepts the end of her ambition being swallowed up. She has been by Chu Yuanxi's side for a while, and she knows that the biggest characteristic of this person is conceit, and the things she decides are not that they cannot be overturned, but they will not be overturned because they are persecuted.
As a president who has been big, of course she also knows why, the most critical point is that she has absolute control, she can refuse to set up a board of directors, and she can be replaced at any time, which is what it feels like to have a knife on her head.
It's just that the bitterness in my heart can't be said, and a thousand words are combined into one sentence: "Do you distrust me so much?"
Chu Yuanxi's face was expressionless: "I'm sorry, I only trust money." ”
He had long been able to switch freely between expressionless and hippie smiley, and he became very cheerful when he twisted his face to find Yu Wenhui.
Yu Wenhui is also very cheerful, because the large-scale promotion of the mobile game "Enemies of Rome" is finally about to begin!
After waiting for a month, the game after the online test finally waited for the big push of the publishing company, huh?
Yu Wenhui is also a veteran of the game industry, and if you think about it carefully, it is because the games made by the Baren Group are repeatedly tested and tuned before the so-called internal testing and public testing, so that there is no need to toss blindly after being launched, so I feel that the promotion is too slow. Change to any other game company, the online test is really a test, not to mention the function, even the recharge rate and payment points have to be tested, and if you are not satisfied, you have to go back and re-tune.
This is exactly where the Ba people are more Buddhist, the recharge rate and the payment point are fate for other game companies, and it can't be lost, but the Ba people see that the difference is a few percentage points and it is regarded as a systematic error, it doesn't matter.
But Yu Wenhui can't get up with Buddhism. What is the meaning of incubation and entrepreneurship? That is, the flow of the game is more closely linked to one's own income! In the past, it was indirectly linked, but now it is direct!
But Chu Yuanxi is "sunny and cheerful", and he is unwilling to do high income, what can he do? Even he, a person who doesn't play Douyin much, even thought of the video advertising materials of the game, so he copied the online loan advertisements that Douyin desperately made!
This ad is in the form of:
A big boss and a small secretary walked forward, and the boss asked, "What is the interest rate on our loan?"
The little secretary reported the number, and the boss immediately said: "Reduce it by another 8%." What is the amount of our application?"
The secretary reported the number again, and the boss continued: "Double." ”
Xiao Mi stopped doing it at that time, and made a painful expression: "This is too much, isn't it?
The boss immediately began to move himself: "Isn't the purpose of our XX loan to consider users and let everyone have money to lend?"
Yu Wenhui said in his heart that if he changed this set of hypocritical lines, he would be on the game products of the Ba people, and they would all be right! I don't know who Mr. Chu wants to sell the Mediterranean game to this time? When the helmets of the Ba people are sold, the VR app store will be opened, and the users will be soft and completely eat the VR dividends of the 5G tide, and the Mediterranean will be able to sell it, right?
However, he never expected that this time Chu Yuanxi promoted the game products of the Ba people, and the plan was to spread it through the social network of Xiaokang.
