Chapter 1308 President Zhang Sings so Well!
Before Yan Qi founded this studio, it was also an investment, and he also made money, giving the investment company a certain return. It is reasonable to say that it should not be difficult to pull another investment.
The problem is that this investment company is not one of the best in Jingzhou, and it does not have such strong financial resources. It invested in Yan Qi before because Yan Qi's "Blade of Empire" is his specialty mobile game.
Step into a stand-alone action game, there are not many investment companies willing to take such a big risk.
Everyone knows that single-player games have a high risk of failure, especially for single-player games with large investment and production. In China, Mr. Pei can guarantee that a single-player game will be a popular one, and other companies are not very good.
What's more, the investment of mobile games and stand-alone 3A masterpieces is not an order of magnitude.
A few million may be enough to make a mobile game, and 20 to 30 million is quite rich, and it can also cover a part of the publicity expenses, but 3A masterpieces want to guarantee the standard game time of 20 hours, even in the Under the current level of technology, it can cost hundreds of millions.
Even if the process can be compressed, and even if some repetitive gameplay, equipment and other systems can be used to extend the game time, in the final analysis, the R&D expenditure of tens of millions is already the bottom line.
The research and development expenditure of "Back to the Shore" is relatively economical, that is because the whole story is relatively pure, not as complicated as "Millet Li".
This road has been walked by President Pei, and Yan Qi can only take another road.
And this time, the money is not enough.
Where to get so much money?
Yan Qi was lost again.
"Huh? Why are you still struggling? Haven't figured it out yet?"
Li Yada came out for a walk, and happened to see Yan Qi sighing in his seat again.
She thought to herself, comprehension is not so bad, right?
I've made it so clear to you that even if the details of the game are not worked out, there must be a general direction and framework, right?
Are you still sighing here?
Yan Qi smiled awkwardly: "Sister Li, the idea is there, but there is a more serious problem..."
"No money."
Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Already have an idea? Let me see."
Yan Qi stepped aside, and Li Yada pulled a chair over and checked the design draft of "Millet Li".
After reading it, Li Yada gave a thumbs up: "Yes!"
"I think this idea is quite good, at least it makes my eyes shine, there is no such type of game on the market."
Yan Qi smiled bitterly: "But it's useless. If you want to make this idea completely without castration, this research and development cost should be less than 100 million yuan, right?"
"Our small studio can't come up with it, we can only find investors. But the game industry is a high-risk industry after all. Who wants to invest 100 million in a single-player game? It takes 3 to 5 million to invest in a mobile game. Weigh, measure, measure!"
Li Yada was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I can help you find a way."
"I happen to know a few investors, especially with Yuanmeng Ventures, and the relationship is OK."
Yan Qi was stunned, and his expression gradually became shocked.
man, does this work too?
Sister Li is really hidden!
At first, I thought she was an ordinary employee of the Chaolu game platform, but it turned out that Tengda also knew people, and Yuanmeng Ventures also knew people?
Dream Realization Ventures, isn't that the investment company of Tenda?
Could it be that Li Yada left Tengda to start a business?
That's impossible, how could someone take the initiative to leave the company with such a good benefit package of Tenda?
Well, it may also be related to the Chaolu game platform.
Yan Qi doesn't know who is the investor behind the Chaolu game platform. This deep boss is very mysterious, but if he knows one thing, it must be not bad money.
If you dare to play like the Chaolu game platform, you will definitely be the master of money.
It is also possible that the boss behind the Chaolu game platform knows these investors, and Li Yada, as the backbone employee of the platform, also knows these investors and can talk to them.
Thinking of this, Yan Qi seemed to see a glimmer of light: "Really? That's great!"
"but……"
Yan Qi still felt a little false: "I heard that Dream Realization Ventures is also a very unique investment company. There is a set of rules. If you want to get investment, you have to queue up, and the amount of money invested is also fixed. Possibly hundreds of millions of dollars at a time.”
"What's more, the game "Millet Li" is still at the stage of concept draft, and there is not even a demo. Even with your relationship, it is difficult to get investment..."
For investors, investing is a serious business, and it is about the rate of return. It is impossible to invest hundreds of millions of dollars just because of a word from a friend.
If it was so sloppy, it is estimated that this investor would have already bankrupted himself.
Therefore, it's not that I can't trust this relationship. The key thing is not such a trivial matter as borrowing three or five hundred yuan.
Li Yada thought for a while: "Well, I really have to do some preparations."
"Well, you simply write a plan according to the format of Dream Realization Ventures."
"I'll polish it up for you. Let me introduce this game from my perspective and see if I can impress... investors."
Li Yada almost said "Let's see if I can impress President Pei".
Because she knew very well that with such a large investment, He Desheng would definitely report to President Pei.
According to President Pei's character, most of them will support excellent domestic games, but as a subordinate, Li Yada must also truthfully report the risks and problems of this game, so that President Pei can make the most correct decision.
If Mr. Pei thinks it can't be done, it means that the idea is not reliable, and it is a failure to make it, so he advises Yan Qi not to do it.
If President Pei agrees and is willing to invest, it means that the game is fine, and it can be developed with confidence.
Yan Qi nodded: "Okay, then I will write a plan."
He didn't hold out much hope either, but since there is Li Yada's line, it's always right to give it a try.
Write a plan, and then write a first draft of the design, it's not a big deal.
What if you can really get an investment? If you can't pull 100 million, but you can pull 50 million, that's fine!
At that time, you can sell a pre-emptive trial version, engage in pre-orders, and maybe stick to it again.
The two of them were busy.
...
...
Saturday, November 10.
The GOG Global Invitational has officially started!
On the other hand, the global finals of ioi are also held at the same time. After all, both competitions are in Europe, so there are only a few optional weekends.
However, although the two games are played on Saturday, but the time is not the same.
GOG starts at 9:00 am European time, which is equivalent to 5:00 pm domestic time, while ioi starts at 3:30 pm European time, which is equivalent to 11:30 pm domestic time.
Obviously, this is simply a matter of trade-offs.
Because there is a 6-8 hour time difference between Europe and China, the viewing time on both sides will inevitably be staggered.
GOG is because Tenda, as the organizer, deliberately requested that the game over there be played in the morning. Although it is not particularly friendly to European audiences, it is relatively compromised and takes good care of domestic players.
Moreover, in terms of schedule arrangement, most of the domestic teams' schedules are also moved forward. Players who are unwilling to stay up late can go to sleep after watching the domestic team's group match, and they don't have to stay up too late.
As for the ioi side, obviously they will not take much care of domestic players. They want to seize the European market, and of course they must arrange the game to the prime time in Europe.
As for the domestic audience, just stay up all night, it really can't be taken care of.
In the afternoon, Jinsheng Plaza, the open space in front of the big screen of the Tenda Experience Store, was already crowded with spectators.
The offline viewing of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament can be said to be in full swing.
Many large shopping malls across the country have installed large screens in the lobby on the first floor, and many movie theaters also use the vacated theaters for game viewing activities.
The most lively place to watch the game offline is obviously the open space in front of the Tenda Experience Store.
On the one hand, the screen here is large enough to accommodate enough people, and on the other hand, it is also because the opposite is the venue for the GPL competition.
During the GPL regular season, a large number of people gather here to watch the game every day, which has formed a trend and habit.
Although it is already November and the weather is getting colder, the crowd is surging and the audience is still very enthusiastic.
There is still more than an hour before the game starts, but the on-site activities have already been arranged.
Chen Lei sang on stage, and the scene was broadcast live to other offline viewing locations, which became an exclusive benefit for domestic audiences.
In the square, several audience members were listening to Chen Lei's singing and discussing.
"It's really good to have Chen Lei sing for domestic audiences and to adjust the time of the game. It feels like a good person for domestic players on GOG. It's completely different from ioi."
"Chen Lei became popular because of President Pei. He came back to sing a song, brushed his face in front of the players, and added some popularity to himself. This is a win-win situation."
"Who is this guest who sings with Chen Lei? He doesn't sing very well, that is, the level of a bar singer, so he can go on stage like this? Or sing with Chen Lei?"
"That? That's Mr. Zhang from the E-Sports Division, the former head of Moyu Internet Cafe, the head of ROF's installation, and now the head of the DGE Club and E-Sports Division. In theory, he is in charge of GOG's competition. ."
"What the hell? Why is it so big?"
"That said, Mr. Zhang is too good. Such a big guy can still sing at this level. Tengda is really talented!"
"Yes, according to the gossip, Mr. Zhang was still a bartender and a resident singer at Moyu Internet Cafe in the earliest days. Before Chen Lei came, he was the resident singer."
"and after?"
"Later? Later, Moyu Internet Cafe was almost slapped. Fortunately, Chen Lei took over and Moyu Internet Cafe came to life."
"Jing nonsense, I won't allow you to slander my beloved President Zhang!"
"That's right! President Zhang sings so well! It's even better than Chen Lei's! President Zhang, I cheer for you!"
"Mr. Zhang, can you arrange the autographed photos of all the DGE players? Can you get a lottery around the limited edition of the GPL team?"
"In? One of the top-equipped machines in ROF?"
"Mr. Zhang, please let me have an account with all heroes and all skins!"
"I want to be a professional! President Zhang, look at me!"
As soon as I heard about Zhang Yuan's identity, the on-site reputation immediately turned 180 degrees.
Everyone said that with the identity and status of President Zhang, he even came to the stage to sing for everyone for free, and he sang not badly, it was a bloody profit!
Daoyin is the name I thought of before, and Shuli is a book friend's suggestion. I think it is more charming with some allusions. The name has not been decided yet, you can think about it again, if it is not particularly good, use this
