Chapter 146: Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way
September 3, Pengcheng.
Magic Pool Studio, a subsidiary of Tengxin Group.
Wei Hong, who has just been promoted to the position of mobile game project planner with the project development experience of two mobile games, is browsing the latest game industry news in his office.
Among them, what he pays the most attention to is not the domestic game news, but the latest news from several game media with foreign plates.
Over the years, under the influence of the work experience of Motan Studio and the working atmosphere formed by his colleagues and bosses, Wei Hong has also gradually realized the backwardness of the domestic game industry from the original stunned youth.
Especially within Tengxin, it is indeed sparing no effort to act as an agent and reference for foreign games.
Among them, it is natural that the game of a certain kimchi country has the greatest influence, followed by the cherry blossom country and Lao Mei.
Several main planners in the studio usually look at what new games have been released abroad, whether they have the potential to get domestic agents, or if they have time, whether they have the opportunity to develop a similar game by themselves and seize the domestic market in advance.
As a new mobile game planner, Wei Hong used to have all kinds of interesting ideas and ideas in his head, but compared with those games with successful foreign experience, these things he came up with lack of data and theoretical support, and it was difficult to get approval at the seminar and get development project funding.
So Wei Hong could only go with the flow with peace of mind and developed the habit of browsing foreign game information.
It's just that in the games of Kimchi Country, there are too many people staring at them in the studio, so he usually focuses on the games on Lao Mei's side.
And today, he suddenly found that another game has appeared in the information section of several well-known game media.
Another mobile game hit in the United States? Fruit Assassin has taken North America by storm!
topped the new game sales list in a week, and the total sales crushed the two major IP adapted mobile games, what is the charm?
It's only been on the shelves for half a month, and the sales of Fruit Assassin are approaching one million!
Astound! A popular mobile game in North America, the creative team behind it is actually from China?!
Half a month to harvest millions of profits, another 100 million yuan mobile game is about to be born?
Wei Hong flipped through the latest reports of these game media, and gradually had a clearer impression of the game Fruit Assassin.
Glancing at the time, there was still about half an hour before today's seminar, so Wei Hong took out his pineapple mobile phone, logged on to his American account, and downloaded a fruit assassin.
Soon, more than half an hour later, Wei Hong took a freshly baked PPT and planning plan, and said at the seminar:
"I have a new project here, and the estimated R&D cost will not exceed 50,000 yuan, but the potential is huge, and it is highly recommended to develop it as soon as possible to occupy the domestic market."
Listening to Wei Hong's introduction, when the other people here heard the results of the Fruit Assassin game, the difficulty of research and development, and the fact that the team behind it was only a small team unknown in China, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they nodded secretly.
"It's feasible, allocate 100,000 funds first, Wei Hong, you will be responsible, and I will connect with other departments for the announcement." The chief planner of Motan Studio nodded to Kang Yu and said, "You go down first to make the planning plan more detailed, and give you a team to follow up as soon as possible." ”
After finalizing the preliminary plan, Wei Hong was relieved and confirmed that he could get the project funds, and he was very happy.
And the chief planner Xiang Kangyu didn't take this seriously, and turned his head and continued to discuss other projects with everyone.
Abin: Hahaha! Did you read the URL I sent you?
Abin: It's all about our game!
Abin: I feel that if this continues, Fruit Assassin will really become the light of domestic mobile games.
At lunchtime, Xu Xing received an indiscriminate bombardment from Li Zhibin.
If the previous impact on Li Zhibin was only at the level of money, then the positive reports about Fruit Assassin published by major game media today belong to the indescribable pride and fluttering after being touted.
A cloud of smoke and rain: Your strong self-search behavior, it is recommended to keep it up.
Abin: Aren't you excited? And isn't our fruit assassin going to enter the domestic market soon? That's all good publicity, right?
We do need media publicity, but the media is also taking advantage of our popularity abroad to take advantage of our popularity.
A cloud of smoke and rain: And these you sent are just game media, mobile games are already at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the game field, this bit of traffic of game media, can only be said to be tasteless, it's a pity to abandon it.
Abin: I think you're getting more and more arrogant......
A cloud of smoke and rain: You earn tens of millions a month, and you are also arrogant (squint)
Abin: Okay, okay, it's that I'm bored.
It can be seen that Li Zhibin is now more and more able to adapt to the current situation.
After a week of continuous bombardment last month, and the explosive growth of Fruit Assassin at the beginning of the month, even if the sales of Fruit Assassin exceed 10 million now, Li Zhibin is estimated to be as excited as before.
It's just that it was just good before, but the articles I saw in these game media today represent fame.
Fame, fortune, fame and fortune have always complemented each other, and Li Zhibin, a young man who has just started his freshman year, naturally can't escape the temptation of these two things.
However, at present, under Xu Xing's intentional guidance, these influences are quite positive, and there is no adverse inducement to Li Zhibin's growth.
A cloud of smoke: The investment company registered with you can take your time, but you can prepare some things first, I will send you a document, and you can digest it slowly.
At this time, Xu Xing had already returned to the dormitory after eating, turned on the pineapple computer and sent Li Zhibin an investment plan.
There are about a dozen different areas listed, and each area has a corresponding start-up or team or two.
Among them, there are applications such as Daily Toutiao, Didi Taxi, Zhihu, and Kushou.
Xu Xing has limited information on the Internet, and due to the changes in the world line, he can't easily and directly find those unicorns corresponding to his previous life.
So he changed his strategy, starting from the industrial field first, and then looking for the corresponding companies, and then digging out the above guys one by one.
Most of these companies are still in the start-up stage, burning the founder's own money, some are still only developing a prototype of the product, and some have already launched product applications, but they are still on the way to find financing while seizing the market.
Don't look at how heroic these companies were in the previous life, scolding Fang Xuan, in the current period, they have not grown up, and they are just a small group of entrepreneurs seeking financing among many products.
Xu Xing's obsession with figuring out the companies behind these products, rather than doing it himself, is actually quite simple.
First, he is only a reborn, not a god, and it is impossible for him to allocate energy to personally control the simultaneous advancement of so many fields, and he still understands this truth.
Second, professional things should be done by professional people, in the previous life, these companies were able to fight their way out of the encirclement, although it was related to various luck and chance, but the founder's fit with him and his own ability are also an indispensable part, this thing is not something that Xu Xing can do by finding another person casually.
Third, although Xu Xing is rich now, compared with these big money-burners, the current company size is still a drop in the bucket, and it is already good to be able to cut off the angel wheel, if you really want to do it yourself, you still have to rely on financing in the end, so it is better to rely on the angel wheel to occupy a position first, and the rest will be talked about later.
Xu Xing's goal is very clear, the investment company handed over to Li Zhibin is not a company that needs to develop its own products, it only needs to plant some nails in various fields according to Xu Xing's needs, and do some foreshadowing in advance.
At the same time, this is also the process of accumulating information and contacts, compared to the little shares obtained from investment, this part of the resources will also be a lot of gain.
"Huh......" Xu Xing, who was thinking about these in his head, leaned back in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
A freshman who has just entered college, sitting in the dormitory controlling the flow of tens of millions of funds, planning investment projects one by one, is really magical to think about.
And just when Xu Xing just wanted to relax his mind, his trumpet QQ suddenly received a message from Xu Niannian.
Nian Nian: Sister Junjiu, I have also completed the domestic version of the art resources, and I have sent it to you, remember to check it.
Jun Jiu'er: Well, I see, hard work.
Originally, Xu Xing thought that it would be okay to be perfunctory as usual, but unexpectedly, Xu Niannian sent a message to ask tentatively.
Nian Nian: That, Sister Junjiu, I want to ask a question.
Nian Nian: Does your studio still recruit artists?
Nian Nian: I'm a junior this year, and I have very few classes, so I can usually go out to work, so I want to ask, does your studio have any plans to recruit people recently?
Seeing Xu Niannian's question, Xu Xing suddenly fell into a tangle.
When we went to eat barbecue together, Xu Niannian talked to Yu Youjia about this matter, and Xu Xing was also present at the time, which can be regarded as psychological preparation in advance.
But at this moment, Xu Xing was still a little hesitant.
However, thinking that he had been prostituting his sister for so long, and thinking that it should be the time for a showdown, Xu Xing still made up his mind.
After all, the salary of 1,500 yuan a month looks shabby to say, and since the studio is no longer short of money, there is no need to continue to squeeze Xu Niannian alone.
So Xu Xing replied.
Jun Jiu'er: Recently, the studio does have a recruitment plan, if you have an idea, prepare a resume and send it to me, I will help you pass the internal preliminary screening, and you can come directly to the studio for an interview at that time.
Nian Nian: Really? Thank you, Sister Junjiu!
Nian Nian: I'll send you my resume in the afternoon
Jun Jiu'er: Well, the interview time is this weekend, I am not the interviewer, and I can't give you a positive answer, but with your ability, it should not be difficult to pass the interview.
Nian Nian: Okay! I'll try!
Seeing Xu Niannian's energetic reply, Xu Xing smiled a little.
I hope that when my sister comes to Tianshu Studio for an interview, the moment she walks into the office and sees herself, she will not be shattered and cut through the surface, and she can still maintain this optimistic and positive attitude......
Thinking of this, Xu Xing touched his head and body, wondering if he had to buy a plate armor and steel helmet in advance, so as not to lose his life when he got it.
Otherwise, when Xu Niannian is locked throat and scissor legs, he may bite angrily, then he really can't stand it.
Alas, I hope Xu Niannian can calm down by then, otherwise Xu Xing will have to spend another money to hire someone after running such a high-quality artist from Min University.
Wait a minute...... Xu Xing suddenly remembered this stubble, and hurriedly sent a message to Xu Niannian again.
Jun Jiu'er: By the way, didn't you invite your roommate to help out before? If you still know classmates with good strength, you can introduce them and give it a try.
Jun Jiu'er: You know, the results of the Fruit Assassin are very good, so our studio has been expanding recently, and there is no shortage of money, but there is a shortage of people.
In the women's dormitory in the West District, Xu Niannian was sitting at the desk communicating with Sister Junjiu, and when she saw the news at first glance, she immediately became happy, and quickly turned her head and said to Yu Youjia, who was processing the documents:
"Jia Jia Jia Jia, come and see!"
"My sister from the studio told me that I could introduce you to the interview."
"Really, would you like to try it out with me?"
When Yu Youjia heard what Xu Niannian said, she curiously leaned over and looked at her chat record with Jun Jiu'er, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"I remember when you said that the fruit assassin sold more than 100,000 yuan? You've got to make a million or two, right? ”
"Jiajia, your message is outdated." Xu Niannian patted Yu Youjia on the shoulder, took out the pineapple mobile phone with a smile, and showed her the sales of the fruit assassin, "It's only the third day of this month, and the sales have risen to 890,000 copies, and it is estimated that it will exceed one million sales tomorrow." ”
"......" Yu Youjia looked at the sales volume above, opened her mouth slightly, and lost her temper slightly because of a moment of surprise, "This profit is already approaching 10 million, right?" ”
"So." Xu Niannian said leisurely, "Now the studio is really not short of money. ”
Listening to what Xu Niannian said, Yu Youjia fell into deep thought.
To be honest, if she chooses, it will naturally be a safe and steady study, with excellent results to find internships in large factories at home and abroad, and after accumulating her resume, she can get a good position in those large companies, and then climb up little by little.
But right now, there is a huge opportunity in front of you.
Although the Tianshu studio still seems to be relatively small, it has already shown great potential for development.
Especially in this expansion stall, if they can join it through an interview, even if there is a problem with the subsequent development of the studio, they can also enjoy a good bonus and add some project experience to their resume.
And if this studio can soar to the sky and become an emerging game company with a fairly good development momentum in China, then it is undoubtedly a good time for them to join it at this time.
Compared with Xu Niannian, who has a superior family background, Yu Youjia's ordinary family background makes her more rational and objective when facing choices, and after careful thinking and judgment, she gives her choice:
"You can help me ask me every year, do you want me to send my resume to the recruitment mailbox, or can I send it to her with you."
"Uh-huh!"
Nian Nian: Sister Junjiu, if my former roommate wants to apply, can my resume be sent to you directly?
Jun Jiu'er: Send it to me directly, the conditions for the initial screening are relatively simple, you already meet the requirements, so you don't have to waste the time of the personnel department.
Nian Nian: Thank you! I'll send it to you in the afternoon
"Yay!" Xu Niannian jumped up from the chair happily and hugged Yu Youjia, "In this way, we will also be colleagues after graduation!" ”
"Don't get excited." Yu Youjia pushed her away with a smile, "Wait until the interview is passed, don't be too happy." ”
On the other hand, Xu Xing was also happy that he had successfully deceived two excellent artists.
At this time, the bedroom door was opened, and Zhang Nong came back from outside.
Lu Pengyou, who was playing with his mobile phone on the chair, turned his head and couldn't help asking, "Brother Nong, what is Lao Wu looking for you again?" Do you have a class meeting? ”
"It's not a class meeting." Zhang Nong shook his head and sat down in his chair, with some joy in his eyes, "It's my first-level poor student's application that has passed." ”
"Oh? So fast? Lu Peng asked curiously, "How much money?" A few thousand? ”
"4,000 bucks." After confirming the eligibility for the bursary for poor students, Zhang Nong's mood was also much clearer, "But it will not be issued until around mid-October, but fortunately, the tuition fee for poor students can be reduced by half, and I still have a lot of living expenses left." ”
"Yes, Brother Nong." Lu Pengyou gave a thumbs up, "Don't say it, I still admire you for being able to be admitted to Min University from other provinces, especially if the family conditions are not good, you don't even get to the tutorial class, if you want to change me, I guess I have already started a high school." ”
"It's not as powerful as you say...... Zhang Nong was a little embarrassed to be praised by this guy, "It's very good to be admitted to Min University." ”
"Brother Lu rarely speaks a human word, and he is still worthy of praise." Xu Xing tapped on the keyboard and took the time to interject.
"My half-month gambling contract on this computer is almost here." Lu Pengyou glanced at Xu Xing and couldn't help but snort, "Old Xu, if you speak nicely, I can consider borrowing you for a while longer." ”
"You just give it to me." Xu Xing cheekily teased, "I don't think you touched this thing much in the first few days you came." ”
"Damn! Whether this computer bird is used or not, it was all drawn by my dad at the company's annual meeting. Lu Pengyou complained, "I usually use it to pretend to be a force, and I can't take it with me when I play games." ”
"Then you still ask if you can play games at the beginning of school?"
"Isn't that just talking?" Lu Pengyou was a little dumbfounded, and then added confidently, "The 4399 mini game can still be driven." ”
"It's still you."
A few people in the bedroom were chatting, and Jian Jiashu was wearing a mask on the side.
Zhang Nong was sitting on a chair, and suddenly received a phone call, and after seeing the caller ID, he got up and walked towards Chaoyangtai.
"Hey, Mom?"
"Huh? How is grandma? ”
"Where's Mom? Washing dishes? ”
"Grandma, don't worry, don't worry, let the doctor next to you answer the phone first."
The balcony door was closed.
Xu Xing turned his head and glanced at Lu Pengyou, and Jian Jiashu on the other side also took off his mask.
"Hear that?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Doctor?"
"Nothing will happen, will it?"
