Chapter 124: Negotiation
The reason why Chen Xu and others sweated in a cold sweat was first because this demo was too exaggerated, and the five-minute video only took up such a small size, which was enough to be called a miracle. And the second is that the 3D image in this video is a little dizzy, especially if you are engrossed in this video.
"64k," Guan Yi gasped, "This is too exaggerated, right?" How many thousand times does this have to be reduced?! If this technology is really used in a regular way, how much less pressure will the website have? ”
Zhong Ziyu shook his head and smiled, and said, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. If you look back at the video just now, a lot of things are repetitive. It's just that his camera flips from different directions, so it looks like it's two scenes. ”
Chen Xu thought about it for a while, it was indeed true, if you really wanted to say it, the picture of this demo was not very good, and it could even be regarded as rough. But because the animation is long, there is a lot of content, and the size is small, it is amazing. As soon as Zhong Ziyu mentioned this, Chen Xu thought that many of the pictures were indeed repetitive, and even the music, that is, those beats, was used repeatedly.
Hearing Chen Xu's opinion, Zhong Ziyu smiled: "That's right." It is true that this production team used a compression algorithm, but the compression algorithm is not yet powerful enough to compress tens of thousands of times. It's just that many of the materials in it, such as simple dots, lines, and planes, and many syllables of the music are repeated. In the case of music, it is all those seven syllables, repeatedly called, and the most basic seven syllables are arranged into a song, so there is very little space for real use. ”
Chen Xu nodded in understanding, this is equivalent to a material call, using a program to edit music. It's as if you only need three colors: red, yellow, and blue to integrate all the colors. For any song, only the basic seven syllables are needed to compose any song - of course, because of the syllables themselves, it is impossible to simulate the high and low tones of various instruments.
"So the reason why this demo is small is not only because of its own compression algorithm, but also because the materials used take up very little space, right?"
Zhongziyu said that this is the truth, but if there is such a top-level compression algorithm, it should be no problem to shrink the file by dozens of times, and tens of thousands of times would be too exaggerated. Otherwise, World of Warcraft can be made into a browser game.
There was silence. The three of them all know that this kind of top-level compression algorithm is impossible to use in this kind of small game, because this kind of algorithm is basically sky-high, and using it in this kind of small game is equivalent to killing chickens with a knife.
"Forget it, let's go another way." After continuing to discuss for a while, Guan Yi said a little frustratedly: "The cost of 3D models is too high, and if we want to do it, we should only be able to use 2D flat models." Either that, as mentioned earlier, the first step is to seize the market as soon as possible, and then release an expansion pack to upgrade the game. Wait until the game is too big, then see what users have to say, and launch the client to try. ”
The three of them discussed it, and now that's probably all they can do.
But then Zhong Ziyu discussed the issue of how to cooperate between the two sides very seriously, of course, not sitting here, let Guan Yi wear a swimsuit to discuss, the community network founded by Zhong Ziyu is the earliest batch of SNS communities in China, and it has also attracted a considerable number of user groups. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, many people think that the IT industry has already been scaled up as early as the beginning of the 21st century. If you enter this industry in the future, you will not be able to do anything at all - because it is difficult to develop new ones when there are several major portals side by side.
Actually, it's not like this.,For example,It's like the current community network、School network and then the domestic network、Happy network and other SNS communities,At the beginning of 07, it was in its infancy.。 A little earlier, like the starting point of the Chinese network, it was only in the beginning, and the development of the network was still a situation of competition in 03.
Therefore, there are business opportunities in the market all the time, but it depends on whether some people can see it.
When it comes to the issue of business surnames, Chen Xu can't insert a word, all of them are Zhong Ziyu and Guan Yi talking. But unlike the atmosphere of a harmonious discussion on the development of the game just now, the negotiations between the two sides are really fierce and full of gunpowder.
The price code opened by Guan Yi is to occupy 10% of the shares of the community network in the form of shares, after the launch of the game and the fee, the virtual currency developed by the community network shall prevail, and the share between the two parties is 8:2, that is to say, if the player uses virtual currency to buy the props in the game, then Chen Xu gets eight cents for one dollar, and the community network divides two cents as the cost of the platform.
Naturally, Zhong Ziyu could not agree to this condition, and his suggestion was that it was best for the two parties to divide 7:3, and the shares could never be transferred. He can pay a sum of money by way of buyout, and the price is initially set at 70,000 yuan.
But this condition was rejected by Guan Yi without hesitation, Guan Yi sneered and said: "Mr. Zhong, your words are too insincere. We all know that the birth of this game will enable your community network to win a large number of users in a short period of time, and you want to send us away with tens of thousands of dollars, which is a bit insincere. You must know that there are many objects we can work with, and there is also a school intranet, and Thousand Oaks will be more interested in it. ”
Zhong Ziyu smiled and said, "Heh, Miss Guan, there is Thousand Oaks Company as the backstage in the school network, and I have just negotiated with your father, and he promised to inject a sum of money into the community network to expand its scale." In that case, I think it would be better for the two of us to work closely together. The implication is that now the community network is also your father's industry, and the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders!
Guan Yi smiled: "That's not what I said. My father is my father, I am me. There is no necessary connection between them in business. We all believe that this business can be mutually beneficial and win-win, and the benefits will be huge in the future, so it is best for us to cooperate openly and honestly. To be honest, we can't afford to buy out the money at all, because according to my estimates, if there are 100,000 players online at the same time, only one percent a month, that is, 1,000 people are willing to buy paid items, then the monthly income will easily exceed 10,000. But obviously, if there are 100,000 people, there are definitely more than 1,000 people paying, and each person is definitely investing more than 10 yuan per month. ”
In fact, Guan Yi's judgment is not wrong, the so-called free games now, such as legends, legendary worlds, and even the journey of Shi Yuzhu's classmates, later giants, and so on. These so-called free games are often more profitable than paid games - because there are many people in China who have spare money, and the development of paid props makes those who don't want to go slow down and enjoy the fun of upgrading choose to pay for paid props, and the income is extremely huge!
And now Guan Yi has positioned this game as a white-collar class, this group of white-collar workers usually have a lot of spare money in their pockets, and they are all young people, many people have credit cards or other online banking accounts, in this way, the proportion of their paid recharge is much larger than that of other groups, and the charging model has been developed, and the income will be considerable.
Listening to the conversation between Guan Yi and Zhong Ziyu, Chen Xu found that he was really white enough.
There are a lot of business names that he didn't think of, or didn't think about at all!
Chen Xu didn't know if he was Ma Daha or what, or he didn't care about this money at all - in fact, Chen Xu knew that if he wanted to make money, it was simply a matter of hooking his fingers. Rabid Dog Buster has made more than a billion dollars for his father, and the food detector has not yet been released, but he himself has secretly calculated it, thinking that if this thing is really going to be released, it will make a few hundred million dollars, but it is only a matter of time...... And in Xiao Min's information...... There are many such things. As long as he wants to, he can take a few random things out, and he can shock the world and want to make money? That's just too simple.
When money has become a number, Chen Xu feels that he doesn't care much about the tens of thousands of dollars now.
That's why he said those words to Guan Yi's father, but in the eyes of Guan Yi's father, he felt that this young man was just young and frivolous. I didn't expect that in fact, what he said could be realized.
But Guan Yi is very business-minded, and Chen Xu feels that this woman's choice of information major is a complete mistake, and she should study financial management...... But he didn't know that Guan Yi's choice of the Department of Information was nothing more than to play, she had been playing for four years in college, and she was originally a financial genius, so no one would pay attention to her if she chose the Department of Information.
And the stand-in that Guan Yi is looking for is studying financial management in Cambridge, as for these headache family troubles, this woman will not participate in these four years.
But starting your own business, and for Chen Xu, this is another matter.
