Chapter 862: Game Upgrades
Carlon came directly to Xu Ping'an's side, directly entered the internal cloud system of the Apocalypse Group, and called up some videos for Xu Ping'an to watch, and Xu Ping'an must understand where the money is spent.
If Xu Ping'an doesn't feel the value of the money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get new special funds.
These videos are all videos that have been made with special effects, so that you can't see any flaws at all, everything is natural and very exquisite.
At least it's more exquisite than any special effects Xu Ping'an has seen before.
After reading it, thinking of the money spent, Xu Ping'an felt a pain in his flesh.
"Carllon, I know your intention to let me watch the video, I know you didn't spend money indiscriminately"
"However, you have to tell me clearly how many years it will take for this film to pay off," Xu Ping'an said, looking at Carllon.
Carlon didn't know how to answer for a while, if it was another company, he could still say something big, but this is the Apocalypse Group, and the punishment for lying is the highest in the ball.
"Boss, it is difficult for us to recoup the cost of this film from the release, and it may be impossible for us to recoup our investment in the next few years," Carlon said with a helpless expression.
Hearing Carlon say this, Xu Ping'an's heart felt a little better, because Carlon didn't tell a lie.
There can be arguments within the Apocalypse Group, there will be no problems, that is, you can't tell lies to fool people, which is the corporate culture that Xu Ping'an has been advocating.
In other companies in Tianchao, it is difficult to see subordinate employees disagreeing with supervisors and even general managers, but in Tianqi Group, you can easily see it.
Of course, not everyone has this qualification.
New recruits do not have this right, you just stepped into the enterprise and put forward opinions without making sense, not only no one will pay attention to you, but you will be punished, with a fine of 1,000 starts.
Only employees who have been with the company for more than three years have the right to give their opinions, which is very advanced.
In particular, the Fairness Committee within the Apocalypse Group has very large rights, and employees can complain if they feel unfair.
"Carllon, I'm glad you dare to tell the truth"
"I understand, you want to make a classic movie that is difficult to surpass, this mood is very urgent, including you, you are also in this mood, you have deliberately indulged" Xu Ping'an stared at Carlon and said directly.
Carlon lowered his head and remained silent, as the main producer, how could he not notice the cost of the film.
It's just that this time, in order to create a classic that is difficult to surpass, Carlon selectively did not say anything, and only when the special funds were about to be spent did he come to Xu Ping'an.
"This time I will allocate funds to you, however, as a punishment for your dereliction of duty, you will deduct half of the year-end bonus every year."
"I'll give you five years, and within five years, Apocalypse Film and Television must make up for the loss of this film for me"
"Five years later, the average annual profit of Apocalypse Film and Television in five years must exceed 15% of last year's total profit"
"If you do it, the deducted year-end bonus will be repaid in one lump sum, and if you can't do it, you will lose this part of the bonus forever"
"This is your punishment for intentional indulgence"
"Do you dare to bet," Xu Ping'an said as he stared at Carllon's eyes.
"I bet," Carlon said calmly.
In five years, the annual profit has exceeded 15%, and Carlon is really confident that the circle of fans of World of Warcraft's big IP movies has been increasing.
Launch two capital preservation films every year, and launch one more is profitable, hype, and it can be done.
"Fanxing, inform Huo Minghai and let him come over" Xu Ping'an said into the air.
"Okay boss," Fanxing said and fell silent.
Xu Ping'an waved his hand and took Carlon to the side to drink tea and wait.
It didn't take long for Huo Minghai to come over, Xu Ping'an beckoned Huo Minghai to drink tea together, and during the tea, he told him about the bet he made with Carllon.
Let Huo Minghai implement what he just said, and by the way, allocate funds to Carlon tomorrow.
What Xu Ping'an personally handed over, Huo Minghai will definitely implement it immediately, and again, now the Apocalypse Group is not short of money, and the cash lying on the account is very sufficient.
Xu Ping'an asked Fanxing to inform Dalina to order a return ticket for Carlon tomorrow, and book a restaurant by the way.
At noon, Xu Ping'an, Huo Minghai, Carl Long, Miao Yong, Lei Peng, Chen Qilin, and several people had a drink together, and in the afternoon, several people rested.
The next day, Carlon flew back to the United States.
Time slowly passed for more than half a month, and on this day, NASA held a press conference to announce that the Voyager spacecraft was crashed by a meteorite.
There is also a set of pictures released at the scene, the picture of a small meteorite fragment rushing over is very clear, and everyone can see that the Voyager spacecraft is not immune.
After all, this is the farthest spacecraft that mankind has traveled so far, and it is very commemorative, and many countries have sent condolences to the United States.
Xu Ping'an even circled NASA on social media, hoping that NASA could build a Voyager museum to commemorate mankind's efforts to explore space.
This proposal has won the support of many people, and many celebrities have begun to circle NASA, hoping to see such a museum.
With more people involved, NASA has to seriously consider this issue.
Just when the media was paying attention to this matter, on the island of Pusfeli, the starship ordered by the European Union was completed, and the spacecraft slowly took off and flew directly to Hamburg, Germany.
Hamburg is defined by the European Union as a Starship base.
Within a few days, another ship on the island of Pusfield was completed and flew to Japan.
There was no way, the Apocalypse Group had to deliver in order of orders, and the factory was not idle at all, but continued to carry out orderly production.
Xu Ping'an didn't want to publicize it, the EU didn't plan to publicize it, and Japan did the same, and the three parties didn't publicize it.
But there are some things that you can't pass without wanting to publicize, and the media didn't agree, and directly reported the news of the delivery of two starships by the Apocalypse Group.
Xu Ping'an can not care about the media, and the EU and the Japanese government can't care less.
The European Union announced that it will launch the Mars base program within two months, and the new starship named Solidarity will be loaded with various supplies to Mars to build the EU Mars base.
Japan also announced that it will accelerate the construction of a Mars base, naming the new spacecraft Mount Fuji, and will leave for Mars within a month to accelerate the construction of Japan's base on Mars.
Xu Ping'an watched the news in the office and smiled slightly, let's go, the more you go, the better, and it will be convenient for you to catch them all at that time.
The Scourge has wiped out your Martian base, and I wonder if you will retaliate against it.
Closing the news, Xu Ping'an began to devote himself to the great cause of the game.
Immortal civilization, Xu Ping'an's account has reached the Jindan period, but now the master of the Yuan infant stage in the game is the mainstream, and he is far behind.
On this day, Mastin, president of Tianqi Electronic Entertainment Group, arrived at the Hangzhou branch, and Jacques, president of the French game company branch, also came.
Mastin, Jacques, and Ye Changlin began to meet to discuss the upgrade of the end game.
Tianqi Electronic Entertainment Group has been conducting research on the ball unified server, and so far, there has not been much progress, and there are many technical problems involved.
If there is only a way to overcome the technical problem, it is nothing more than spending money and time.
The biggest problem if you want to unify the server is the governments of various countries, and the relevant departments of various countries want to get a share of the pie, which is the biggest problem.
This time, the issue of the discussion was not the issue of unifying the server, but the issue of upgrading the server plane.
At the moment, it's basically one server per country, and although you have done this, you can't get to the point where you can turn on the player's special effects, and if all players turn on the special effects, the server can't bear it.
Now, the new generation of servers has been verified, internal testing, and can withstand the scene of special effects, and if you want to upgrade, the cost problem is not a small problem.
Taking the small country of South Korea as an example, upgrading the server requires an agent to invest more than 8 million euros, and in exchange for a large country like the Celestial Empire, the investment will be even more.
The bigger the country and the more players there are, the more the affiliate will invest.
The three of them discussed it, and all three agreed that the surface upgrade would be completely different from the current player experience after the special effects were turned on.
The equipment is cooler, the combat effect is more hot, and this kind of scene is what players are pursuing.
Why is the market so big for stand-alone games, isn't it because of the high definition of stand-alone games, and the various special effects are realistic?
The day after the discussion, Tianqi Electronic Entertainment Group issued a notice to convene a general meeting of agents, requiring agents from various countries to gather in Hangzhou within five days to discuss this matter.
The purpose of convening the conference was to report to Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an smiled after reading it, and Mastins finally began to attack, crushing the living space of the stand-alone game.
Now gamers are really not short of money, and there are a number of people who have made a fortune because of games, all thanks to the financial system implemented by the Apocalypse Group many years ago.
After the game currency was pegged to the real currency euro, players found a new direction of struggle, and the United States hated this financial system.
With the popularity of the game, the coverage of the euro began to increase significantly, forcing many countries to start using the euro as the settlement currency, which made the hegemony of the dollar collapse a lot.
Secretly made several small moves in a row, but was strongly resolved by the European Union, saying that it would ensure the normal operation of the financial system of Tianqi Electronic Entertainment Group, and he would not hesitate to lose money.
After secretly moving the wrists of the two sides several times, the United States can only reluctantly compromise, there is no way, and if it continues to force it, it will completely push the EU into the arms of the Celestial Empire.
This is even more unfavorable to the United States, and it can only pinch its nose and admit it.
However, the United States and Canada strictly implement the scheme of pegging the game currency to the US dollar, otherwise, your game will be shut down for me.
After multi-party negotiations, the settlement of terminal games in the United States and Canada is mainly based on US dollars, and other countries continue to implement the financial scheme of pegging game currency to the euro.
Last year, Hahn, chief economic analyst of UBS in Europe, said that as long as the game finance business and golden grass business of Tianqi Group exist, Tianqi Group will not be at risk of bankruptcy.
These are two cash monsters, every day, every minute, every second, creating a steady stream of cash flow for the Apocalypse Group, and it is also a ball range.
This is the guarantee that Tianqi Group maintains a high reputation in the major banks in the world.
