Chapter 297: Expectations for Troubled Times
The so-called predators are investors who are more powerful than Zheng De. In Chu Yuanxi's mind, Zheng De's comprehensive investment strength is stronger than that of the Demon Capital Syndicate, but he is obviously not a top player.
Why? Because the kind of investors who are at the real head don't want your current valuation, but the future. In the future, I am interested in your company to achieve a scale of 100 billion, and it is best to achieve hundreds of billions, which is what big capital players often say. If it's just billions and tens, then I'm sorry, even if the rate of return on capital is high, I don't bother to invest, because I'm too lazy to study you, you don't have room for imagination.
That's why TMD attracts the attention of investors.
The Celestial Empire Internet can be regarded as three and a half generations, the first generation of Sina, Sohu, NetEase, the three major portals, the second generation of BAT, needless to say, followed by a group of heroes such as Xiaomi Jingdong, the third generation of TMD is the headline Meituan Didi, as for the new generation, it refers to Pinduoduo, Qutoutiao, a rookie that only rose after 2015.
What they all have in common is that they have strong expectations for the future, leading one or several large tracks.
In this case, whether it is a self-media company or a mobile game company, the ceiling is very obvious, and the valuation cannot go up, so it will not attract the attention of the best investors. Even if you are a wanderer, it is difficult to attract predator-level investors. What's more, Chu Yuanxi's plan for a game company is not a big company with a comprehensive attack like Youzu Perfect.
Therefore, An Qi and Yuan Jing, aside from their personal relationship, their two investment groups are still very important to Chu Yuanxi, because they are both people who may agree with Chu Yuanxi's valuation logic. Therefore, Chu Yuanxi was also very close to them.
In fact, after a comprehensive investigation of the valuation of Baren Entertainment within the Modu Syndicate, it has come to the point of 400 million, which is a brand new research, which fully considers the status of the existing assets of Baren Entertainment, which already includes the artifact company, and even considers the two things that Chu Yuanxi proposed snow projects and grassroots singers.
There are no absolute secrets in the investment circle, especially when Chu Yuanxi also held a lecture for investors. Although the matter seems to be small, it is only half a day, but the name "Chu Yuanxi" has been spread in a small range of investment circles several times.
It's just that An Qi still underestimated Chu Yuanxi's appetite.
After sending away Anqi, Chu Yuanxi finally had time to deal with the company's affairs, or to deal with it before Zhou Minxi recorded the song.
One is the issue of the version of the TCG group. The third milestone is coming to an end, which means that version 0.3 is about to be completed. After the completion of version 0.3, it will enter the closed beta and deletion test stage, which is one step away from the official launch.
The official launch is expected to be in July, and the remaining testing time is only one month, so whether this product will work or not depends on the version.
If it doesn't work, there is still a little time for tuning, after all, you can test and tune at the same time, if it works...... If this product doesn't work, Chu Yuanxi will be speechless, and the functions that can be counted are only login, friends, sharing, sign-in, daily tasks, krypton gold card drawing, guild, battle, robots and novice guidance, and these functions are the big ones, and the big function is novice guidance, battle and guild, although the krypton gold function is important, it really can't be regarded as a big function, right?
Chu Yuanxi has never seen such a simple game, and the function of the AI robot pretending to be a player for a matching battle is still Xue Ming took the initiative to ask Ying to help him, if this is not done well, it is unreasonable!
However, in version 0.3, all kinds of plaster-style patches and dead code have resurfaced, especially writing special cases, Chu Yuanxi, the inspection version, is simply going to be thundered to death by special cases.
And this time it was Zhao Jie who took the lead in the thunder - Zhao Jie showed up to strongly resist Chu Yuanxi's pressure, and he also fought hard in order to be able to deliver the version on schedule.
This mood is understandable, after all, the priority is to ensure the completion of the version function, and it can run through, there are no big bugs, the efficiency is also said in the past, and the optimization can be optimized well, so as not to turn the player's mobile phone into a hand warmer, not to flash back, for an old Jianghu like Zhao Jie!
As for how much unsightly junk code in the client is covered in the shell, and how much memory it will occupy the player's mobile phone, that is not a problem that Zhao Jie can consider now.
But Chu Yuanxi wants more than just the successful launch of a game, in the final analysis, his expectation for this game is that the monthly turnover is 10 million +, and it can reach 20 million and definitely burn high incense. This may be very useful for Ba Ren Entertainment at this stage, but this is not the case for the selection of the mobile game project team in troubled times!
Chu Yuanxi has high hopes for going out of the mountains in troubled times, not only in terms of making money, but also in terms of reputation and operation cycle. He didn't want the troubled times to become a game that could make a lot of money but was spit out by players, and finally because of the historical legacy of the improper design of the development version, the follow-up update and maintenance were difficult, so that after a few versions of development, it couldn't continue to be done at all, and it would collapse if it moved, so a cash cow died in shame.
This happens all the time, especially in the gaming industry. Game development is usually against time, and overtime is the norm, so the code is rotten, and you don't care about it.
Interestingly, if it doesn't make money, it doesn't matter, and when the project makes money, it will be ordered to develop a bunch of numerical features to ransack the player's wallet, or call it Krypton.
However, there is still a lot of employee turnover in game companies, and resignation and dismissal occur from time to time, such as when the spoils are unevenly distributed. So the numerical functions do this, and they push the size and complexity of the project beyond the upper limit of what the programmer ape can handle, and the programmer ape has already changed a few times.
But the new program ape is stupid when he sees the code, and can only be carefully maintained, and what kind of deep development he wants to carry out is simply living in a dream, which will definitely trigger a large chain reaction, and the risk is uncontrollable.
However, technology is changing with each passing day, your product does not iterate, you used to make a lot of money, and you can only make a small amount of money in the future.
Why is this phenomenon not obvious to players? Because it will be masked by the life cycle of the mobile game product. The life cycle of most mobile games is a year or a few months, and there are too few that there are too few that a game GG is dead because it can't iterate and develop.
Chu Yuanxi doesn't want this, he hopes that "Out of the Mountains" will have a long standby life cycle, and the premise of becoming a national-level game is to live long enough.
