Chapter 326 Three Logos
Tuesday, November 9.
Last week, Pei Qian was busy with a lot of things.
At Feihuang Studio, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo are still making preliminary preparations based on Pei Qian's script.
Zhu Xiaoce has to expand the script to the length required by the film, and urgently recruit some personnel. After the script and storyboards are finished, it is estimated that there will be discussions on the script, selection of actors, viewing and framing of the scene, etc. There are still many things to do .
At Shangyang Games, everyone is still frantically playing horror games looking for materials and inspiration. However, Pei Qian estimated that with the work efficiency of Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin, the approximate design draft should be available in the next few days.
There are not many things that need to be prepared for the investment company. With the help of He Desheng, Yuanmeng Venture Capital should be on the right track soon.
The detailed recruitment rules of the human resources department are also being formulated. The general process has been set up, but the specific written test and interview questions have to be finalized, including the reception arrangement during the recruitment process, the cooperation of various departments, and the measures to prevent leaks Wait, you still need to prepare better.
As for the mobile phone department, Chang You is already in contact with his brothers in Hongcheng Technology, and when the time comes to find a similar office building in Jingzhou, the official research and development can almost start.
After that, it's money.
Yesterday, Pei Qian had invested 20 million in Yuanmeng Venture Capital.
November 1st and 8th are Mondays, which are also the days when the game's share will be credited.
At the time of settlement on the 31st of last month, the system funds were replenished to 10 million, but this does not mean that Pei Qian only has 10 million at his disposal.
"Ghost General", "Sea Fortress", "Game Producer", "Return to the Shore" (including the overseas version), the mobile game "Blood War Song"... This pile of games is still providing income.
Take the mobile game "Blood Song" as an example, the monthly net income is four to five million, and the two-week income is two million.
The follow-up income of "Ghost General" and "Game Producer" is similar to this. "Return to the Shore" is currently in its peak sales period. The domestic version and overseas version combined, the income in two weeks is 7 to 8 million.
The income of "Sea Fortress" is more stable than that of "Return to the Shore".
In addition, there are businesses such as Moyu Internet Cafe and ROF that have been negatively affected by surprise spending, and are also profitable this month.
Not to mention Mingyun Private Kitchen, who is as stable as an old dog, and Dian Chinese Website, which has just started to emerge.
Adding all these up, even after deducting the expenses of money-burning industries such as Headwind Logistics, you can earn more than 10 million in two weeks.
A month's money is almost 30 million.
The billing cycle this time is five months. During these five months, the income of these games will fluctuate and fluctuate. For example, the income of several stand-alone games will definitely decline, but networks such as "Blood War Song" and "Sea Fortress" The vitality of games is too tenacious, and they are the main source of income.
Therefore, Pei Qian's goal is not to spend 10 million in five months, but to spend 150 million in five months.
Moreover, this is only the money that is currently determined to be almost earned.
What if a project blows up before settlement? Have to play out the amount in advance.
Even if the system stipulates that 50% of the initial system funds can be used for charity, it is only 5 million.
Therefore, Pei Qian had to work hard.
Pei Qian divided up the current business and decided to call Yuanmeng Venture Capital 20 million first, so that Lao Ma could practice his skills.
The main reason is that Ma Yang is currently in a state where a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which is a good time to prodigal.
If the money given at the beginning is too little, even if Ma Yang loses, he will lose one or two million.
If Ma Yang learns from these failures and invests in successful projects after paying more money, wouldn’t that be the end of the game?
Therefore, Pei Qian gave Lao Ma 20 million directly after thinking about it, and asked him to work hard!
As the saying goes, if you eat a pit, you will gain wisdom. Anyway, as long as you suffer enough losses in the past, you don't have to worry about the rapid growth of the old horse's intelligence in the future.
As for other businesses, the budget must be fully filled in order to relieve Mr. Pei's worries.
On the other side of Shangyang Games, the money for the development of horror games must be 20 million;
As for Tenda Games, although Pei Qian hasn't figured out what game to make, since it is the company's leading department, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and spending 50 million is not too much;
Feihuang studio makes movies, although the content that can be shot is not too much, it is a low-cost movie, but it is reasonable to spend more money for special effects, and spend 30 million;
As for the mobile phone department, although there is no plan to mass-produce too many high-end phones, it is necessary to invest 20 million in the early stage. If you find that the mobile phone cannot be sold, you have to hurry up and continue to invest money and continue mass production.
In the end, if the money is too much to spend, we will find a department that has not produced results for additional investment, and delay until the next cycle.
Of course, there is also a charitable fund of 5 million, which can also be used as a last resort to spend money suddenly.
Anyway, after Pei Qian's calculations, this situation is not optimistic, but it can still withstand it.
These are all overestimates. If all goes well, the system funds will definitely be reduced by 10 million before settlement.
Pei Qian's goal is not high. When the time comes, he will make a small loss of four to five million yuan, convert himself four to five million yuan, and get a system reward by the way. After converting these five months into a monthly income of 100,000 yuan, it will not be considered a waste of work.
Of course, this money is not earned all at once. A sum of money will come into the account every week. It is still necessary to arrange the order of spending money on various projects and continue to invest money. It is impossible to spend all the money all at once.
Pei Qian was counting when someone knocked on the door.
Looking up, it was Li Yada.
"Pei... President Pei."
"Guess, should we prepare to develop a new game?"
"Or, make a DLC for "Return to the Shore"?"
"Everyone is a little free."
Is it okay to take the initiative to ask for a task?
Pei Qian was quite dissatisfied with this proactive attitude.
But it's hard to say anything, so I can only pretend to be deep and say: "Don't worry, let everyone recharge their batteries, and there will be very important tasks for everyone in a while."
Pei Qian himself didn't think about what kind of tasks to assign to Tenda's game department.
For those regular games, the probability of success is too high, Pei Qian is really not interested.
Don't throw 50 million into it, and then throw out a cash cow. That would be the opposite of Mr. Pei's original goal.
Li Yada nodded: "Ah, yes. Then Mr. Pei, if you have a task, call me anytime."
After Li Yada went out, Pei Qian slumped on the seat weakly.
Being a boss is hard!
Every day, I have to rack my brains to arrange jobs for these employees, and if I let them be free for a few days, I will come to my door.
It's hard to beat!
"Ding ding."
Received a message on the phone.
Pei Qian picked up his phone and looked, it was from Chang You.
"Mr. Pei, the team has almost assembled. I will arrange for someone to fix the work place this week. We can start work officially next week."
"Also, our design has received the moving fee. I am very excited. I have rushed out the logo of Outu Technology overnight. Please take a look."
There are pictures below.
Pei Qian clicked on it and found that it was a very interesting logo.
At first glance, the outside is an approximate rectangular shape, while the inside is two circles stacked in a complex manner.
The rectangle and the circle are overlapped in a special way. One long side of the rectangle is twisted and bent into a round side. It can be vaguely seen that this is the change of two uppercase "T".
In other words, this graphic is the product of the change and combination of the four letters "OTTO".
At first glance, it looks a bit like a rectangular eye, but inside the eye sockets are double pupils.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like a Möbius ring.
Besides that, the way the two circles in the middle overlap is sort of like the symbol for "infinity" in numbers.
This logo is relatively simple, and it looks quite stylish against a solid-color background, quite post-modern.
Pei Qian couldn't help feeling that this is a talent.
OTTO, with such an earthy brand name, can make such a tall logo?
At that time, this logo will be printed on the back cover of the phone, maybe it can really bluff people.
And it's not the only logo.
The second logo uses two "ten" and two "○" to form a handle-like shape. The "ten" is on the upper left and the lower right respectively, and the "○" is on the lower left and upper right respectively. The layout is similar to the handle, and the two ○ are like the two joysticks of the handle.
This logo is no longer a solid color, the shape has become more complicated, and the color is very bold, which makes people easily think of game elements.
The third logo is the most regular, a row of OTTO capital letters, round and upright, it looks passable, in line with the usual style of technology companies.
The designer came up with three options, namely:
abstract type;
game type;
letter type.
It should be to let Mr. Pei decide one.
Pei Qian took a look, and they seemed to be pretty good, so he replied: "They're all good. Let's keep them for now. It's not too late to decide which solution to use after the design of the mobile phone is completed."

Friday, November 12.
Pei Qian planned to go to Yuanmeng Venture Capital to find Ma Yang.
I originally wanted to go yesterday, but it happened to coincide with Double 11. Pei Qian bought some messy things online, so he was delayed.
The courier hasn't arrived today, so I can go to the old horse for a while.
The 20 million yuan to Yuanmeng Venture Capital has already been called as early as Monday. It has been five days, and part of the money should have been spent.
However, Pei Qian estimated that according to Ma Yang's urination, he should still be entangled, and at most he would spend two to three million at the moment.
Although Pei Qian has repeatedly emphasized to Lao Ma that he should act when it is time to act, don't hesitate.
But no matter what...that's twenty million.
Pei Qian was afraid that Ma Yang would not be willing to spend money, so he wanted to see the situation of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, and do some ideological work for Lao Ma by the way.
Yuanmeng Venture Capital has already rented an office space, about 15 minutes' drive from Tengda, and it is also in a high-end office building.
Pei Qian came to the office of Yuanmeng Venture Capital according to the address, and walked in quietly.
There was a thick carpet on the floor, so Pei Qian didn't make any sound when he stepped on it.
The huge company is currently empty, but someone can be heard shouting inside, filling the entire company with echoes.
"Hurry up, you can fight, you can fight!"
"Kill this crispy skin first!"
"Help me!"
"Escort! Escort! Protect President Ma!"
