Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Game Is Complete
Chapter 58: The game is complete
A month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the game of "The Adventures of Zhang Gouzi" was made.
Since everything from planning to art to program development is top-notch, it does it well and quickly.
Shi Bai tried to operate it, and found that the operation was smooth, the sense of blow was strong, the skills were cool and distinctive, and the equipment system was also outstanding, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"Excellent! Everyone is really a leader in the industry, with you here, happy company why not rise! ”
The employees applauded.
"It's still good to be the leader of Mr. Shi, if it weren't for you, no matter how strong we were, we wouldn't be able to get together."
"That's right, Mr. Shi has a good eye for people!"
Shi Bai smiled proudly, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Talent is talent, these guys are pleasing to the eye, unlike those guys in the comics department, except for Mr. Shi, who is Mr. Shi, and he bumps into me at every turn, it's really ......."
I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this.
The employees were a little puzzled when they saw him like this, and Shi Bai also found that he was a little out of shape, so he quickly asked the financial department to read the financial situation.
Finance is a woman in her thirties, called Zhang Xiaohua, although her name is a bit earthy, but she is a very elite woman. Even if she wears a suit and a short skirt, she can't hide her fashion and beauty, and her business ability is also leveraged.
"This month, the employee's salary is 400,000, the utility bill is 10,000, the dubbing and music is 1 million, the server is 2 million, and the bandwidth rental and other expenses are 1.6 million, a total of 6 million was spent."
Shi Bai thought about it for a while, that is to say, he still has to spend at least 4 million on the main quest to complete.
"No, it's not enough."
Zhang Xiaohua was confused, "Mr. Shi, what's not enough?" ”
"Not enough flowers."
"Huh?"
The employees were also a little puzzled, not knowing what he meant by not being enough.
Shi Bai thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Send bonuses!" There are a total of 20 employees, and one person will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan! Celebrate the birth of our game! ”
The employees were shocked, although the boss usually sent some red envelopes after the project was completed, but it was the first time they saw 100,000 yuan.
"Mr. Shi is atmospheric!"
Shi Bai smiled faintly, "It's okay, this is what everyone deserves." ”
The employees were overjoyed and couldn't help but want to dance while sitting on the stools.
The average salary in this era is less than two thousand, although their occupation is high, but it has not broken 10,000, Shi Bai is good, a bonus is 100,000, almost the salary of others for two years.
If you let others know, you won't be hungry!
So they all meditated in their hearts, thank God for blessing! Thank God forbid!
"Mr. Shi!" At this time, Zhang Laodao: "Our game has been developed and will be launched soon, but there has always been a problem that we have not made clear, and please give us a little instructions." ”
Shi Bai was stunned for a moment, "What other questions haven't been clarified?" ”
Zhang Laodao: "Fee system. ”
"That's right! That's what we want to ask. Qian Yiwei, the head of the planning team, said: "You have always asked us to make games, but you have never explicitly said that the problem of charging is not clear. ”
"Oh!" Shi Bai suddenly realized, "This, there's nothing to say, it's free, it's all free!" ”
Qian Yiwei nodded, "Free is indeed the mainstream form now, like dungeons, rivers and lakes, and Babu are all free games." However, it is said that it is free, but there are a lot of paid items in the mall. ”
Qian Yiwei pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "We can copy the pattern of the dungeon, the dropped equipment does not show the dress effect, and the fashion in the mall only shows the change in appearance." Of course, you can also only sell resurrection potions and other enhancement items, Mr. Shi, what do you think is better? ”
Shi Bai glanced at him expressionlessly, "I think, don't go to the mall." ”
“?”
Everyone looked at each other.
"Don't want a mall? Isn't that a time charge? Or, sell VIP? Qian Yiwei was a little excited, "In that case, I'm afraid that it will go against the trend." ”
"No, you didn't understand what I meant." Shi Baiyun glanced at the employees lightly, "I mean, there is no time to charge, there is no mall, and there are no other VIPs!" I don't want a dime for my game! Just lose money for people to play! ”
"Dang!"
The voice rang in everyone's hearts.
"Losing money to play? What is this operational strategy? ”
"I've never heard of it!"
"What does Mr. Shi want to do?
Everyone was puzzled, and they all cast surprised glances at Shi Bai.
Qian Yiwei said: "We can't understand Mr. Shi's high recruitment, and please make Mr. Shi clear!" ”
"That's right! Mr. Shi, you have to explain it to us well, otherwise we really won't understand. ”
Shi Bai looked confused, looked up carefully, and found that the room was full of serious faces, and couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"OMG! Is this talent? Why can't you understand such a simple word! ”
He jerked to his feet and slapped his hands on the conference table.
"I'm talking about the literal meaning, not an operational strategy, nor a trick! It's free to play, free for everyone to play! I don't want a dime, do you understand? ”
The audience was dumbfounded.
One by one, they were stunned on the spot like sculptures.
"If you don't make money, isn't it free to attract customers?"
"That's what it means, a bit like a subsidy?"
"Do you also subsidize the game?"
"I really haven't seen it."
"Mr. Shi!" Qian Yiwei spoke again, his expression was serious, he frowned, he was already very serious, and he looked even more solemn at first glance.
"Mr. Shi! There has to be a charging window anyway, right? Otherwise, how can we prove the success of our game? ”
"That's right!" Others said: "Without a charging channel, we can't prove that players identify with us. ”
Shi Bai sighed helplessly, it seems that they still don't understand themselves.
But then again, it is impossible for them to understand themselves at all, after all, in this world, who will do everything possible to make themselves lose money?
"Okay!" Shi Bai shook his head, "The paid window, you have to have a paid prop, right?" You all talk about your thoughts, what kind of props do you come up with? ”
The employees immediately came alive.
"I think resurrection coins are very good, things are not expensive, there is still a lot of demand, and most importantly, the resurrection coins are reasonably charged."
"I think the fashion fee is reasonable, and there are no attributes, you can buy it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to buy it."
"I think it's better to have a lucky gift box, a random draw, addictive and fun."
……
The employees were talking, but Shi Bai's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
"Stop, stop!" He interrupted the crowd, "Have you all forgotten my words? I want a free game through and through, not a paid game! Resurrection coins and fashion, don't you know how successful these two designs were? Follow this path, what should I do if I make money? ”
The employees were stunned again.
"Make money...... When was it wrong? ”
In the end, Shi Bai raised his arm, "That's it!" Out of the lucky gift box, one dollar a piece, but this gift box can't shake anything, the name is called useless box. Write it clearly to them, the box is useless, and it is a waste of money to buy it, so persuade them not to buy it! ”
Employees are petrified again.
What kind of trouble is this?
