The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 8 Contradictory Ideas

"Mr. Rong, Mr. Luo, let's get straight to the point! You sent me the first 5 levels of your Plants vs. Zombies game. I tried it and it felt really good.

As long as the quality of the game is acceptable, I actually don’t have many problems here, they are mainly related to game management and sales. "

"If you have any questions, Manager Bai, just ask." Rong Mu took over the conversation naturally.

When they were in school, Rong Mu was Luo Ming's external sound card. Luo Ming was quite talented in programming. When the two of them participated in various competitions at school to get credits, it was Luo Ming who was in charge, and Rong Mu was in charge.

"Then I'll ask directly, the first question is, how does this game make money?"

"Our game plan adopts a buyout system and will be directly put on the Steam platform. There is no built-in recharge channel."

Bai Jingwen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but his tone did not change and continued to ask: "Second question, what is the age range of the user group this game targets?"

"All ages."

"8+?"

"Correct."

Bai Jingwen didn't raise his eyebrows this time, but frowned.

"Last question, will this game have a mobile version?"

"Yes, but mobile games must come after client games."

After listening to Rong Mu's answer, Bai Jingwen thought for a long time and said: "Mr. Rong, to be honest, your sales plan is not in line with our company's plan.

First of all, the buyout system makes no money at all in China. Piracy of domestic games is rampant, and few people are willing to spend money to buy games.

If you put it on the shelves according to the buyout system, you will only lose all your money.

Secondly, if the game is 8+, it will face much greater review pressure, and it will be difficult to get the version number.

Last but not least, major game manufacturers are now moving closer to mobile games. Penguin and NetEase will make big moves in the field of mobile games by next year at the latest.

Now domestic 4G has been popularized in third- and fourth-tier cities, and 4G will cover most areas in the country except some remote villages by the end of next year at the latest.

The mobile phones in our hands can already do many things that we could not even imagine in the past.

Mr. Rong, Mr. Luo, I think you should focus this game on mobile games.

Just make a fortune and run away from the PC game. With the quality of our game, as long as the difficulty of the level is raised, many people will be willing to spend money to buy krypton gold props to help them pass the level. "

Lin Shuwen heard this and thought to herself: "Things in this game are no different from those in the entertainment industry! The entertainment industry is looking for ways to get fans to pay, while games are looking for ways to get players to pay."

Rong Mu, on the other hand, directly rejected Bai Jingwen: "Manager Bai, I'm sorry, but we can't accept your sales ideas. Your behavior is tantamount to squandering the benefits and will have a huge impact on the reputation of our studio."

"Mr. Rong, don't you want to make this studio bigger and stronger?"

Rong Mu nodded.

Bai Jingwen smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Rong, Mr. Luo looks like you have just graduated from college. It's not surprising that you have this idea.

Mr. Rong, as someone who has experienced this, I would like to advise you that it is very difficult to start a game studio with nothing. Making a quick buck and having enough food and clothing for the rest of your life is the best option.

If Mr. Rong doesn't mind, we can even send people from the company to assist you. In half a year at most, both of you can make a profit of at least tens of millions, which is more than enough to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. "

"Mr. Bai, do you mean that your company will participate in the management of our company?"

"It's mainly accounting supervision."

Rong Mu fell silent. There was no need to continue talking at this point.

Anyone with a bigger temper would have turned against him, but Rong Mu was unusually mature in this regard.

He had a warm smile on his face, and his words were still so polite: "Manager Bai, the two of us have to think carefully about your conditions. I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an answer today."

"We didn't expect to be able to negotiate today. We will be in Bingzhou these two days. Mr. Rong and Mr. Luo will talk to us when they think about it."

"Okay, let's order first! Waiter!" Having had enough wine and food, the four of them shook hands and said goodbye at the door of the hotel.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if the business was done.

After the two parties separated, Rong Mu's face turned dark instantly: "Damn it, Er Ming, will the investment you made send someone to keep an eye on us?"

"No!" Lin Shuwen replied instantly.

She wouldn't send someone if she was personally in charge, so who else would she need?

"Then we don't have to hesitate. Feiyu Ventures wants to make a quick buck and run away, which is completely contrary to our goals."

"I think so too." Lin Shuwen agreed.

"Then it's settled, let's use the investment you brought in. By the way, which company does the investment you bring in come from?"

"Not a company."

"Not a company? An individual? Who is so rich?"

"Lin Shuwen."

"Lin Shuwen? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"That's her." Lin Shuwen picked up her phone, and there was news about her receiving the award at the Golden Melody Awards.

Lin Shuwen confirmed it when she and Luo Ming exchanged information last night. If the investment failed this time and she wanted to invest, she would tell Rong Mu directly the identity of the investor.

In their current state, the two need a trustworthy "middleman" to manage the company.

Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen promised that Rong Mu could absolutely be trusted.

Lin Shuwen felt that she was here anyway and could see Rong Mu all the time. Luo Ming trusted Rong Mu, so it was him.

"Hey, Erming, are you serious?"

Lin Shuwen nodded.

"How do you know her?"

"She was my classmate in high school."

"Speaking of which, Lin Shuwen is indeed from Bingzhou, wait! Didn't you come to Bingzhou only when you were in college?"

"No, I've been here since high school, and I attended the city center."

"Xiao Jiang, there is a high probability that our trip this time will be in vain." Bai Jingwen sighed as he leaned on the back seat.

"Manager Bai, do you mean they will reject our investment?"

"Yes, these two stupid young people want to make the company bigger and stronger."

"then we"

"Help me book a flight ticket for tonight. We will fly to Hangzhou. There are two companies waiting for us in Hangzhou."

"But you didn't mean the next two days"

"That's just a polite word, Rong Mu and Luo Ming are not really stupid enough to believe that the two of us will stay in Bingzhou for two days.

I said this just now because I thought that if there is no justice in business, at least don't fall out. That Rong Mu is also sensible and followed my words.

If nothing unexpected happens, Rong Mu will call us two days later and tell us that they have discussed it and feel that our conditions are unacceptable. "

"But aren't you very optimistic about their game?"

"I think it will work. I'm not a senior executive of the company. If I could decide who to invest in and how to invest, I wouldn't mind taking a gamble on the quality of the game. Unfortunately, I'm just an errand boy."
