Chapter 7: The Troubles of Qian Duoduo and Chen Daqiao
Back in the summer of 2010, Duoduo, who was no longer the yellow-haired boy back then, was lying on the bed thinking about his future. His father, who is the only relative, is being detained in Vietnam, and more than a year of litigation has exhausted Uncle Zhang, Ah Lang and other seven fathers' good brothers, Jīng, who can't help him in his eyes. It was at Uncle Zhang's house that he felt cut off from making money in the game, and in order to rescue his father, Uncle Zhang's rì was not as good as day by day. Aunt Zhang's growing temper and subtle changes in her attitude towards herself were seen in her eyes, so she proposed to move out and find a job to support herself, and she had been working in this Internet café for a whole year.
The Internet café doesn't cost money, and this small loft is also rented with the help of the owner. This year, Duoduo saved up to 7,000 yuan, saving a little should be enough to go to Vietnam to see his father, when he thought of his father who was locked up in Vietnam, Duoduo only felt guilt in his heart, if it wasn't for his ridiculous vanity, why did the father and son get to such a point, and the prince who was dragged down by himself, Huzi, so many good brothers from his father, and Uncle Zhang.
Thinking of Uncle Zhang, Duoduo hurriedly dialed the phone, and after a few words of greeting with Uncle Zhang, Duoduo asked about his father's recent situation in Vietnam. "Hey" Uncle Zhang sighed on the day of the call, "The previous trial was a big crime, and we later appealed, and the Vietnamese side obviously had insufficient evidence, but it was just a few months of delay and refused to hold the trial. We are also trying to find a way, but we are afraid of long nights and dreams. ”
"Uncle Zhang, I really don't know how to thank you, I also saved 7,000 yuan this year, can you help a little?" Duoduo knows the meaning of "hitting joints", and it seems that his plan to go to Vietnam to see his father is about to run aground.
"Oh? You're sensible! Uncle Zhang said with relief: "If Dafu knows that you are so sensible now, I don't know how happy I am." Now that there is more money, your dad will have more hope. You put the money to the card number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
made an appointment with Uncle Zhang about the way to make the payment, and Duoduo put down the phone.
"It can't be like this anymore, how can I make a lot of money!" Duoduo thought anxiously. I've been reading books since I was a child in my life, and now my body is not good, and there is only one thing I can do, playing games, and I can only find a way from this. In the past, you could make money playing games professionally, but now that the national economy is sluggish, few people are willing to spend money on virtual items. Foreigners have strong purchasing power, but now they have cut off bilateral relations at all, due to the closed-door policy of the mainland game industry, foreign countries have passed guò punishment regulations, and now mainland IP cannot register any foreign games at all. At present, there are only three games in the domestic game industry, such as "Remembering the Legend", "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", and "PLA God of War", which are extremely competitive, and it is impossible for newcomers to play to the level where they can make money in turn.
As the night deepened, Qian Duoduo listened to the sound of his heart beating that did not belong to him, and he was troubled and desperate and couldn't sleep.
At the same time, Chen Daqiao, the president of Qiangqiang Company, was lying on his luxurious bed, also thinking about his troubles.
Technical Director Meng Ziyu's suggestion about the company's new concept of developing new games, new settings, new game modes, and even new clients has always lingered in Chen Daqiao's mind. He has agreed to this grand plan, which is expected to cost a total of 27 billion RMB, and the plan is divided into several parts:
1. Invest 1.7 billion yuan in early publicity for advertising renovation and transformation of the company's more than 3,000 sales outlets across the country, focusing on updating the unique identity verification equipment for new game services, as well as new game experience and publicity equipment. The 1.7 billion is also almost all of the company's liquidity, if the early publicity fails, the number of game accounts opened does not meet the account balance requirements, then the strong company can no longer afford to go back to the sky and has to go out of business. The so-called unique identity verification binds the game account, the user's ID number, and the user's biometric information, and one person has one number. The game experience device is a new multi-dimensional game warehouse, which combines virtual multi-dimensional stereoscopic images and motion capture technologies (that is, the new game mode in Mencius's mouth). This technology is owned by a military enterprise in Xi'an, and there has been a low-cost multi-dimensional military helmet mass production, which is a project that Qiang has been talking about for a long time, due to the sudden tension between land and island, military and civilian products are not allowed now, so Qiang only got the right to use the high-cost and high-priced civilian multi-dimensional game warehouse (that is, a new client), because the cost price of a single unit is as high as 500,000 RMB, so Chen Daqiao has not started the technology. This time, we plan to use this technology mainly as a gimmick to drive the popularization of the PC client mode with high xìng.
2: The company came up with a number of real games based on multi-dimensional game technology, and preemptively launched a game with a completion rate of 5%, as the first official product to support multi-dimensional games, to seize the market and recover part of the investment. There has never been a precedent in the industry for selling a game with a completion rate of 5%, but Chen Daqiao has a bottom in his heart. Before 09 years, Chen Daqiao acquired a number of small-scale foreign game development companies, one of which is an advocate of the concept of open games, with a unique open intelligent game engine. The so-called open-ended means that the player is completely open in the game without any restrictions. The so-called intelligence, that is, as a player who can do everything in the game, the intelligence of NPCs should adapt to the player, and make intelligent judgments on all possible activities and languages of the player. For example, in the current game's quest system, NPCs provide quests and give one or more conditions for completing them, and players earn experience and rewards for completing them. In the open intelligent game engine, the player is theoretically omnipotent, and countless NPCs are intelligent, just like people who may think, and give experience rewards for responding to the player's actions based on what they do. (i.e. a new concept, see The Elder Scrolls). This part of the domestic and foreign investment is relatively small, and it is basically changed from what is already there, with a budget of 300 million.
Three: the company to build a supercomputer, responsible for the calculation of the processing of open games required by the huge amount of computing, temporarily with the existing computing units to form an array to bear, as long as the premise of the first and second part of the formal, immediately start the construction of the supercomputer, the project research construction cost is expected to be 18 billion, maintenance costs of 2 billion.
Four: 5% of the follow-up part of the game completion, 5 billion yuan will be invested as the development cost of the game plot, character design, art, etc. Strive to achieve the goal set by the brand new game in Mencius's mouth.
Chen Daqiao closed his eyes and recalled the plan, and sighed secretly, "It's really the biggest gamble in life!" ”。 The current problem is the theme of the new mode game. The new game setting is easier said than done, and the company's top management is locked in endless bickering over the issue. When Chen Daqiao thought of this, he felt depressed for a while, turned his head, and saw a few copies of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he bought on the bookshelf for the façade, and couldn't help but be stupid.
