Recreation Starts From the Heartbeat

On Monday, June 16, the 16th day when I came to the hut.

In the morning, half past six.

Tang Su washed up early, and then went downstairs.

Even though he slept very late last night, he still woke up early in the morning. The biological clock is always a bit metaphysical.

When passing by the living room, I glanced at the sofa in the living room subconsciously, didn't see anyone, and then stopped by to the kitchen.

At this moment, Liu Xinjie and Zhang Xiaoying are preparing breakfast in the kitchen, talking and laughing. It seems that their relationship has improved a lot.

This made Tang Su suddenly think of the scene he saw when chatting in the living room yesterday.

At that time, Tang Su didn't focus on Su Tang, but watched the other guests calmly.

The first is Bai Shaobin and Li Shuyao. Both of them are very talkative, but their topics revolve around a few other guests. They rarely mention their date today. Tang Su thought that they had an unpleasant play today, but from them In terms of performance, it is not the case.

Zhou Huayu and Zhao Xiaowen...Compared with the Cold War some time ago, their relationship has eased a lot now. It seems that Zhou Huayu should have been relieved, or forgave Zhao Xiaowen’s previous practices, and the two have a bit of meaning to “rebuild the old”. .

The relationship that has progressed best and is visible to the naked eye should be Liu Xinjie and Zhang Xiaoying. The place where the two dated is the dance studio. Both of them seem to be very interested in dancing. Then the relationship has gotten closer. Look at them now. With a smile, it seemed that the two might finally come together.

‘Perhaps, this may be the happiest time that "Heartbeat" has developed in several seasons. ’

Tang Su thought to himself.

Then without disturbing them, he turned and left the kitchen.

It doesn’t matter what you eat for breakfast. The reason why I came to see it was just out of habit.

...

Tang Su went back to the living room, took out his mobile phone to check the latest mobile game information, thought for a while, took out a packet of potato chips and a box of yogurt from the mezzanine of the coffee table, and ate it.

Well, how do you say it.

Sitting on the sofa, playing with the phone, eating potato chips, and drinking yogurt to fully enjoy Su's happiness.

For tired adults, probably, this is the most comfortable moment, right?

Not long after Tang Su had eaten, there was a brisk footstep, and then—

"You will enjoy it!"

Su Tang saw him so happy when he came downstairs. At that time, he was jealous. He trot over with his tablet and took out a box of yogurt. Then, while drinking yogurt, he shared Tang Su's packet of potato chips.

"I learned it all from you."

Tang Su said without raising his head.

"Humph~"

Su Tang raised his chin, then turned to look at his phone: "What are you looking at?"

"Mobile game information."

Tang Su casually said: "The studio's first mobile game is planned to be launched around November. I now want to learn more about the mobile game circle and try to avoid some low-level mistakes."

"Oh."

When I heard that it was something related to work, Su Tang immediately became interested: "After your mobile game is made, does it have to be tested before it can be launched?"

"Um."

Tang Su nodded and turned to look at her: "Why are you asking this?"

"Can I take the test? I'm very interested."

Su Tang made a request full of expectation.

you?

Tang Su was startled, and then frowned slightly: "It's just a casual mobile game. When chatting before, didn't you say that you were not interested in this?"

They talked about video games before.

At that time, Su Tang said that she was not interested in mobile games because she was too money-minded and she was very brainless. It was a type of getting stronger after recharging. It was not challenging for her at all. In contrast, She prefers terminal games or console games, and can fully experience the sincerity of game manufacturers (of course it must be a good game, not the kind of money-making goods).

Because of this, Tang Su didn't talk to her much about his work.

After all, for chatting, you still have to find some topics that are of interest to both parties. If only one person is interested in the topics you find, the chat will become extremely awkward.

For example--

If Su Tang talked to him about the difference between the red numbers, or how to identify authentic bags... Tang Su would be blinded on the spot.

‘There’s a reason for not being interested. "

Su Tang curled his lips: "I am really not interested in mobile games, but if it is a mobile game made by you... then I am still very interested. Of course, the premise is not to recharge and become stronger. That kind of game is really true. No experience."

Recharging money will become stronger. For a rich woman like her, it is not difficult at all.

"Definitely it is impossible to become stronger by recharging money, at least it is impossible to make a buyout game like this."

Tang Su said.

Playing games must be a bit difficult, otherwise, it will become dull.

He still remembers playing a game called "Contra" when he was a child. When he first played this game, there were only three lives, and then he became extremely cherished, for fear of wasting his life if he was not careful.

Even when the two of them were playing games together, they would be very unhappy because of their partners' "borrowing".

Later, someone developed a version with 30 lives. When I first started playing, I felt a lot more comfortable, but playing with it became boring. Because there are too many lives, so I don’t cherish it anymore. I don’t even cherish my life. What's the point of the game?

Of course, there are many levels in "Contra". For the handicapped party, 30 lives are far from enough to get through all the levels. Therefore, it is boring at the beginning, but when it comes to the later levels, it is still quite interesting.

Until later appeared infinite life, even invincible version...

That's all you need to have a hand.

After easily clearing all levels, the entire game completely loses its soul.

Tang Su was also thinking about the difficulty of the game again and again, thinking that this is a very difficult yardstick to grasp——

If the game is too difficult, players will soon be dismissed.

As we all know, the more mainstream games are, the more they must pay attention to the ‘lower limit and higher upper limit’ to fully meet the needs of most players, not only to meet the handicapped party, but also to meet the high play, so as to maximize the benefits.

Therefore, if the difficulty is too high, it will not work, but if the difficulty is too low, it will make the lifespan of a game extremely short like the 30-lived, infinite-life "Contra".

...

Su Tang was very interested in Tang Su's games, so when Tang Su hesitated, he made a soft and hard bubble (very serious).

Tang Su had no choice but to agree.

After eating breakfast, Tang Su drove off with Su Tang——

"Today is the 16th day we came to the cabin."

Su Tang said suddenly: "Time flies so fast."

"..."

Tang Su thought for a while and nodded: "Bird food."

Time really passed quickly, unknowingly, half a month passed, but at the same time, time passed very slowly, just half a month's time gave him a feeling of finding true love.

"Tang Su, do you have any thoughts about the future?"

Su Tang turned to look at Tang Su, she seemed to have something to say.

What's next?

Are you going to talk about it so early?

Tang Su was a little confused, thinking for a long time, and said, "I want to make money from games first, then buy a suite, and then think about other things."

In Chinese tradition, buying a house is the first major event in life.

Only when you buy a house, and only if your name is written on the real estate certificate, will you feel that you have a relationship with the city, and that you have truly met the prerequisites for'getting into a family'.

If there is no house, everything is imaginary.

What Tang Su wants to do at this stage is not how many small goals he can earn in one go, that's unrealistic.

In contrast, making money to buy a house of your own so that you can gain a foothold in Shanghai is the most important thing right now.

Well……

The house in Shangjing City is not cheap, and Tang Su doesn’t want to buy it. Therefore, if he has a full budget, a house will not be less than 15 million, and he is more inclined to repay the mortgage in full rather than instalments. This... …

Fifteen million, I don’t know how long it will take to save.

"Plants vs. Zombies" may make a lot of money if it goes well, but even if it makes a lot of money, more than 90% of it will have to be used by the company, renting a better office, setting up a company, improving employee compensation, and improving Company system, new game plan...

In this society, why can't you spend money?

Unless the new game is sold directly into a burst of money, otherwise, he really has no money to buy a house, and he has to wait for the second game, the third game...

In short, it will take a long time and there is no hope of buying a house in a short time.

Before buying a house, anything about the future is imaginary, and all the "futures" must be built on the house.

"Oh, I'm not talking about this kind of thing."

Su Tang was a little depressed: "I want to say that after "Xin Dong" ends, what shall we do then?"

"After "Heartbeat" ends?"

Tang Su was taken aback, and then casually said, "What do you want to do? What tricks do you want to play?"

He hadn't considered such a distant matter at all.

It's not that he didn't think about the future, but...what else can he do after "Heartbeat" ends, and live as usual.

"I want to travel."

Su Tang sat in the co-pilot, and said carefully: "The last season of "Heartbeat" had a couple traveling together after the closing. I think it's quite interesting, don't you like it?"

travel?

Tang Su frowned slightly, which completely conflicted with his thoughts.

According to Tang Su's idea, after the ending of "Heartbeat", he will devote himself to work, strive to make the new game as soon as possible, and then achieve profitability, so that many of his plans can be implemented in advance.

For him, making money is almost too imminent.

In Tang Su's view, making money is the first big thing right now, and other things have to wait until the money is made. As for traveling... he has never thought about such things.

Just like buying clothes, he has always been a very monotonous and boring person. He likes to simplify everything, and does not want to waste too much time on meaningless things, such as dressing, such as traveling...

It's just that, when he inadvertently caught Su Tang's expectant gaze, Tang Su wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it and didn't want her to be disappointed.

then--

He had to change the subject: "I'm driving, let's talk about it at noon."

In addition, I really don't know what to say.

"All right."

Su Tang agreed, then turned to look towards the car window.

The little girl is not stupid. You can guess from Tang Su's deliberate change of subject. He probably doesn't like traveling, but he is embarrassed to refuse.

However, things like travel are really important.

It is said that two people traveling together can better promote the tacit understanding between the two. Many of the friends she knows also travel together. I feel envious when I think about it.

After yesterday's "second date" ended, Su Tang confirmed his inner thoughts, and then began to think about future things.

In the next half month of "Heartbeat", there should be no suspense.

There are two game projects left, nothing more than giving gifts to each other and the last date. This has almost no impact on them. Even if they do, they will only be good or not.

Then, it's time to consider what happened after the end of "Heartbeat".

"Heartbeat" lasts for a month, which happens to be from early June to early July. Then, she wants to take advantage of the rest of the summer vacation to start a two-person trip with Tang Su, but this guy doesn't seem to like...

Su Tang wanted to say something, but when he saw that he didn't want to talk about it, she had to put her back to the bottom of her heart, turned her head sideways, and looked at the scenery outside the window. She was in a good mood, but suddenly she felt a little depressed.

...

On the way.

Tang Su felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he took the initiative to find a topic: "Do you want to drink yogurt? I remember there seems to be yogurt in the car."

"Drank it in the morning."

Su Tang shook his head.

What is the reason? You don't usually say that.

Based on what Tang Su knows about her, if this girl really wants to eat or drink, there is absolutely no bottom line. Regardless of what she said or promised before, she will leave it behind. , The formation of a state of temporary amnesia.

And now, if she took the initiative to drink yogurt, she actually stopped drinking it?

Tang Su felt a little unsure. He felt that Su Tang was angry, because he was in a bad mood, so he didn't even drink the yogurt.

Are you angry because you don't want to agree to travel together?

Tang Su didn’t know what to do. When he was first determined to fall in love with Su Tang, he was ready to accept the other’s little temper. After all, the little girl was spoiled as a little princess in her own house, and it didn’t make sense to her. , Let her understand what reality is...

The little princess is also very nice, very cute, very simple, and very healing.

(The premise is to look good)

So, what should we do now?

Compromise is impossible to compromise. The studio has a lot of work to be done next. He really doesn't have time to travel with Su Tang. Although it is really exciting, there is always a trade-off between reality and ideals.

In my previous life, there was a very popular saying on the Internet: I can’t hold a brick if I hold you, and I can’t support you if I hold a brick...

Well, something seems to be wrong.

Forget it, it's not important, it's almost the same anyway, just understand it.

Of course, Tang Su also wanted to travel with Su Tang and spend a good ‘love period’ together, but the reality is a little bit unallowable. You can’t delay your career just because you fall in love, right?

That's not a good thing, maybe, in the end, love and career will leave oneself.

Well……

Tang Su suddenly remembered something, Su Tang, this rich little woman, doesn't seem to need to raise it by herself...

The thoughts in his mind are a bit messy.

On the surface, Tang Su didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

All the way to the door of the company building.

Tang Su stopped the car, turned his head to look at Su Tang sitting on the co-pilot, and said calmly, "I'm at the company."

"Oh."

Su Tang did not speak to him either, unfastened his seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car.

‘Is there a sense of ritual today? ’

Tang Su looked at Su Tang out of the car window with his back facing him, and was silent and did not speak.

Su Tang turned around, walked to the other side of the car, and knocked on the window: "Master Tang, why don't you get out of the car? Don't you want to charge the taxi?"

Taxi money?

Tang Su was startled, and soon understood.

Good guy, this is another way of saying it.

He unfastened his seat belt, pushed the car door, and got out of the car.

Then--

Su Tang leaped into his arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "I was not angry just now, but suddenly I felt that we have known each other for so long, and it seems that we have never talked to you about the future... dinner at noon. Can we have a good chat when I’m in love?"

"……Can."

Tang Su nodded and smiled.

The little girl did not make the little princess temper, she was much more generous than he thought, and she was also very good at understanding each other.

Watching Su Tang trot into the building, Tang Su got in the car and drove away.

...

Drive to the ‘Simi’ studio.

Tang Su quickly found Zhang Yuning at the work station.

"What I said before, after thinking about it, still feels a bit inappropriate."

Tang Su said: "On the one hand, regardless of the purpose, this kind of thing will be offensive. There is no need to do it for a small amount of money; There is no impact. With this time, it is better to think about how to increase the profitability of the studio."

He was talking about what the two of them had mentioned before in a chat-about the part-time cook.

This is the decision he made after careful consideration.

The reason why it is said to be offensive is also because of his identity. The boss works part-time as a cook, and the employees under his hands have to support him regardless of whether he likes it or not. It becomes a coercive consumption, which means a bit of unspoken rules. It’s not appropriate to think about doing this for tens of thousands of dollars.

Perhaps, Tang Su and Zhang Yuning did not think so, but it does not mean that employees would not think so. The situation and status of the two parties are not equal, and the information is asymmetry, which naturally leads to many misunderstandings.

Secondly-

This thing makes too little money.

Earning fifty thousand or one hundred thousand a month sounds like a lot, but what is enough money for?

As long as the studio is up and running, no matter whether it loses or earns, it cannot be affected by this little money. There is a high probability that it will not lose, but if it is earned... As long as the first profit is generated, it must be at least N five. Ten thousand, one hundred thousand.

Tang Su thought about it, and felt that he would do such a thankless thing, so he might as well find a way to make money from the studio.

Or, he has also joined the game development link. With the ‘original’ professional ability in the field of software development, Tang Su feels that if he joins, he can definitely shorten the development time and realize profit earlier.

Or, take advantage of the studio's reputation, bring a few programmers, and take more orders from Internet companies. If there are too many, I don't dare to say that it shouldn't be difficult to make hundreds of thousands a month... right?

After all, the current ‘sago’ is no longer the ‘sago’ of the past.

Since cooperating with one of the domestic Internet giants, "Thousand Degrees Search", the reputation has skyrocketed. It is no longer what it used to be, and the price will naturally be higher.

In short...

Either way, it seems to be more valuable than a part-time cook.

Although being a cook can improve your own cooking skills, compared to the big thing of making money to buy a house, improving your cooking skills...Let's lean back.

"what?"

Zhang Yuning suddenly heard Tang Su's words, first was stunned for two seconds, and then reacted, not surprised at this, but frowned, and said grimly: "But then, we have to continue to eat nearby restaurants. , Eating every day, I almost vomit."

Tang Su: "..."

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be passionate.

Zhang Yuning had previously given herself an idea. It seemed that it was not to help herself make more money, but just because... the restaurants nearby were tired of eating.

"If it weren't because the takeaway was too expensive, we would all have eaten it."

Zhang Yuning sighed: "Due to economic problems, everyone basically eats in nearby restaurants, and I am not embarrassed to be a maverick."

Boss Zhang, one of the Big Three of the "Simi", knows the idea of ​​"everyone is equal". He never eats well every day just because he has money. He usually eats with the employees. Whatever you eat Follow what to eat without being picky.

It's just that after such a long time, even everyone is a little bored, especially Zhang Yuning, otherwise, after seeing that Tang Su is good at cooking, he will not encourage Tang Su to become a cook.

"Let's bear it again."

Tang Su was too lazy to care about him, and casually comforted: "When the new game makes money and the studio has spare money, I definitely put improving the quality of food first."

"That's what you said."

Zhang Yuning said, then clicked to stop, changing the subject: "Tell me, what are your plans next?"

He knew that since Tang Su decided to give up the suggestion of being a cook, he must have other plans.

Otherwise, relying on the fact that this guy is a fan of money, it is unreasonable to keep the money in front of him and not make any. Since he has decided to abandon it, then there must be a bigger plan.

Um... a bigger plot?

Zhang Yuning suddenly thought of something, and raised her head to look at Tang Su, with a strange look in her eyes: "Boss Tang, don't you want to go all out to eat soft rice?"

During this period of time, those online viewers who follow the latest season of "Heartbeat" are almost all discussing the identity and background of the guests. Among them, the most curious and popular one is Su Tang’s background. They say that this girl’s family is at least There are hundreds of millions of assets...

However, Zhang Yuning felt that Su Tang’s family background would never be as simple as a few hundred million, at least it would have to be multiplied by ten times, or even a hundred times...

He doubted whether Tang Su was determined to eat this bowl of soft rice.

To be honest, if Tang Su can really eat this bowl of soft rice, it seems to be really good.

Su Tang is beautiful and has a cute and simple personality. It is a bit like a beautiful girl who came out of the second dimension. It is not as annoying as the Bai Fumei in those idol dramas. This kind of girl is so rich, if Tang Su If you really can'marry' her, wouldn't it be possible to achieve financial freedom and class leap in minutes?

"you think too much."

Tang Su was a little speechless: "Eat soft rice, I just want to make money to buy a house now."

"It turns out that you are quite a rich generation, and you have courage."

Zhang Yuning understood, she nodded her head in appreciation, and said with emotion: "In fact, your choice is completely correct, saying that marrying a wealthy family can change your destiny, but it is so easy to marry a wealthy family, plastic surgery, and learning the truth about green tea. Ah or something... the rich are not stupid, what kind of people have not met, if they don't have the real ability, how can they be regarded by the rich?"

"..."

Tang Su was speechless: "I mean, I want to make money to buy a house, can you quiet down and listen to my thoughts?"

He felt that the other party was very inked.

He did not marry at all...Bah, the idea of ​​marrying a wealthy daughter, and then embarking on the pinnacle of life, he himself made up many good shows...

"All right."

Zhang Yuning nodded and stopped talking nonsense: "Tell me what you think."

"As I said before, the buyout system and in-app purchase system of "Plants vs. Zombies" were produced at the same time."

Tang Su said lightly: "Xu Huahua and the others have a better understanding of the idea of ​​buyout games, so Xu Huahua led the team to develop the buyout system, and the in-app purchase system...I personally lead the team. The extra cost, Just deduct it directly from my bank card."

He also has private money, which is the income of the ‘original’ over the past two years, and is not the same as the public bank account of the ‘Simi Studio’.

"You actually want to use your own money?"

Zhang Yuning frowned: "Then how is this money calculated? Is it an investment or a loan?"

Personal money is used for studio projects, and the specific usage must be clearly stated in black and white. Otherwise, it is easy to cause disputes due to interest issues, and in the end no one’s face will be glorious.

A sum of Tang Su’s money enters the studio’s account, either by joining the project in the form of investment, and then taking the profit and loss by himself, or by “lending” to the studio by means of a loan. After the studio becomes profitable, he only needs to pay It's okay to bring the profit back, without giving extra dividends.

These two methods have their pros and cons.

For investment, if you make money, you can get dividends that far exceed your principal, but if you lose money, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

In the case of borrowing, the studio's profit or loss has nothing to do with it. In the end, the only thing that can be recovered is the principal + interest (not sure).

"Well, I haven't thought about it before."

Tang Su frowned slightly and realized this problem. He thought about it and said, "My current idea is to try my best to make a new game. As for investment or borrowing, it doesn't matter to me. Let's make sure first. The specific division of labor is then called to Xu Huahua. The three of us will discuss and discuss together, mainly depending on what you mean."

It’s true that Tang Su is the boss of Simi, but strictly speaking, there are actually three bosses of Simi. Apart from him, Zhang Yuning and Xu Huahua are both very important shareholders. Therefore, whether it is investment or loan This matter depends on their thoughts.

...

After Tang Su and Zhang Yuning discussed the specific division of labor and production methods, they called Xu Huahua, who looked impatient, to discuss together this important event that would affect the studio's future profit distribution.

"It's just such a thing, you still have to call me?"

Xu Huahua was very impatient: "I'm very busy, do you think I'm the same as you? Don't do anything all day long, think about how to fall in love every day, and think about keyboarding every day, and the two are not doing their jobs properly... Also, who got the three cats? I don't care if I get them? Cat fur is everywhere, so I have to wear sweaters in the summer."

Tang Su:? ? ?

Zhang Yuning:? ? ?

Speaking of which, the three partners of "Simi" are also very interesting, and no one can look at them.

Zhang Yuning can’t look down on Tang Su. He feels that this guy has a perfect cultivation base (technical strength), but has no matching brain (ambition). If it is not because he is not good at management, and has no intention of management, the boss's respectability will not be taken care of. To him.

Xu Huahua didn’t look at these two. He felt that Zhang Yuning just wrote code and dressed up like a trainee who was about to debut. With his broken hands, he couldn’t type ten thousand words a day, so he had to use such an expensive one. The keyboard is so hypocritical... Tang Su completely forgot about his comrades when he had love. This guy probably didn't remember the days when the three of them stayed up all night for a small project of several thousand yuan. They were full of Sutang Sutang. Su Tang, nothing compares to himself, he still loves code and writes code YYDS!

As for Tang Su...

Sorry, he is at the lowest end of the contempt chain, and he is not qualified to look down on anyone.

...

In the end, under Xu Huahua's simple and aggressive intervention, Tang Su paid 510,000 yuan out of his pocket, Zhang Yuning 250,000 yuan, and Xu Huahua 240,000 yuan, totaling 1 million yuan. At the same time, he injected them into Simi in the form of investment. 'On the public account.

In this way-

The three bosses brought a full 1 million yuan in capital injection to the studio while their respective shareholding ratios remained unchanged.

If we just add a profit model to "Plants vs. Zombies", the money will never be used up, even one-third of it will not be used up, and the remaining two-thirds will basically be kept as reserve funds. And the publicity fund.

Things were decided so happily.

"That's it. I'm going to write code. There is no major event of the sky falling. Don't bother me."

Xu Huahua said lazily: "Also, can you clean up the cat hair in the studio? It's everywhere!"

Looking at the many cat hairs stuck on her cotton shirt, Tang Su did not dare to squeak.

He thought to himself: If Xu Huahua doesn’t touch the cat, he shouldn’t have so many cat hairs on. After all, it’s just three kittens, and these three kittens are surprisingly lazy. They usually stay near the window. Soaking up the sun on the table, or just crawling around on a few cat climbing frames, rarely disturb humans...

The young lady from the wealthy family, Su Tang is cute and cute. Apart from being a little bit savage and easy to blow up her hair, she doesn’t see any shortcomings. On the contrary, this Xu Huahua behaves quite like the savage eldest lady commonly seen in novels. ...Not reasonable.

Obviously because she likes to run cats so much, she is covered all over her body, so she actually blames others for not cleaning up...

Forget it, too lazy to care about her.

After all, he is the partner of the studio and the main person in charge of the buyout version of "Plants vs. Zombies."

As for--

Why give her the "buy-out version" to her~www.readwn.com~ and the "in-app purchase version" to lead the team by herself...

Ha ha.

This has something to do with Tang Su's previous research on the "parallel world mobile game development" answer.

Through research, Tang Su found that the in-app purchase mobile game of Parallel World is also very cheating, but compared with "Earth", it is really insignificant. Both the degree of black-heartedness and the design concept are quite different.

Although Tang Su had never been in the field of mobile game development in his previous life, he was deeply poisoned by mobile games, but he knew better than people in this world how to make an in-app purchase mobile game that would make players scold their mother while tearing up the value.

In that case...

Well, how do you say it.

Speaking in a literary way:

No matter how much ability you have, how much responsibility must be assumed.

Since Tang Su has this talent, how can he waste it in vain and discard it?
