Chapter 730 Independent Game Incubation Base
At this time, Pei Qian was having a family dinner in the Ming Mansion, eating with all the club owners in the GPL league.
Owners who already had league spots, including the H4 club, were all present, and it was very lively.
After the previous auction, Lin Chang, Li Shi and others had already eaten at the unnamed restaurant, but Pei Qian didn't go that time, so he made excuses to shirk it, and Zhang Yuan went to receive it.
The main reason is the fear of being hurt again.
As for today's meal, I really can't pass it up.
Pei Qian thought that he had to meet these bosses and get to know each other, and at the same time, he had to clearly tell everyone the rules of the GPL.
Moreover, four days have passed since the previous auction, and the possibility of being exposed again is very low. The main topic will still focus on the GPL rules, which is a good time to meet.
This is the restaurant jointly opened by Li Shi and Xue Zhebin. Although the dishes are not as good as the unnamed restaurant, the place is relatively large, and they can reserve the restaurant casually for their own people, which will give them more freedom.
Now, the rules of the GPL have been announced, and the bosses chatted while eating, discussing the rules of the GPL by the way, a scene of joy and harmony.
Li Shi looked at the GPL rules issued by President Pei, and discussed the terms with Xue Zhebin who was sitting next to him.
"Look, I've already said it."
"When others collect money, they are making money for themselves; but Mr. Pei's collection of money must be for a longer-term goal."
"You see, President Pei took the money we paid for the quota, which is actually divided into three parts: building a youth training base for the club, supporting the development of GDL and Internet cafe games, and maintaining the normal operation of the GPL league."
"If it's an ordinary organizer, it must take part of the money for the operation of the GPL league, and the rest of the money will be kicked into its own pocket."
"Of course, it's understandable for the organizers to make money by selling quotas based on their ability, but an objective evaluation of this kind of behavior is too short-sighted!"
"On the other hand, President Pei took the club's money and spent all of it on the league to support the underlying structure of the entire league."
"Those talented players can play the ladder first, then start playing in Internet cafes, and then go to play GDL or go to the youth training teams of various clubs... Every step can be very solid."
"And the standard contract also allows them not to worry about being cheated, so that talents will not be buried."
"Once such a system is established, it can continuously send blood to the GPL league. It's perfect!"
Xue Zhebin nodded frequently: "Indeed."
"But Mr. Li, the money is spent on these places. What about the promotion of the league? What about the club's capital investment? Maybe these two dollars are relatively lacking?"
"Although the league system is very important in the long run, we cannot ignore the most urgent problems in front of us!"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is the gap between the thinking of ordinary people and Mr. Pei."
"The first level of thinking: sell quotas to make money and enrich your own pockets."
"Second-level thinking: I see Mr. Pei using the money to seek long-term benefits."
"The third level of thinking: seeing both long-term benefits and immediate benefits."
"But Boss Pei is even higher than this, because he knows very well that long-term benefits must be achieved with money, but immediate benefits can actually be achieved without money!"
"So, Mr. Pei is not ignoring the most urgent problem in front of him, but has prepared another set of solutions."
Xue Zhebin was a little dazed: "Really? But, how can we solve it without money?"
The promotion of the GPL league and the construction of club infrastructure all require money.
Li Shi explained: "Boss Pei has not only money, but also other resources, such as word of mouth, trust and attention!"
"There is no way to guarantee the long-term interests of the GPL league with these things. For example, if you want to support GDL and youth training, it's useless to have attention. No one will spend money on these things, and you can only pay for them yourself. "
"But the immediate benefits of the GPL league can be realized with word of mouth, trust and attention!"
"The so-called immediate benefits are nothing more than the initial enthusiasm and attention of the GPL league, as well as the construction of the club."
"Now look at these people here, what kind of combination?"
"There are old domestic clubs, veterans of the first GOG Global Finals, well-known national companies such as Shenhua Real Estate and Jinding Group, and there are also like us, although the money and fame are not very outstanding, but they fully support it. , Cooperate with Mr. Pei's ordinary participants."
"There is no need for publicity at all. Just publishing this list is enough to offset tens of millions of publicity expenses!"
"That is to say, the GPL league is already popular before it starts, so how about more publicity funds and less publicity funds?"
"What's more, the turmoil between Mr. Pei and those three clubs has lasted for more than half a month. On the one hand, the popularity of the GPL league has continued to rise, and on the other hand, it has also sent a very clear signal to the outside world."
"The audience trusts Mr. Pei, but the capital doesn't necessarily trust him. Many people believe Mr. Pei can make a good game, but they don't trust him to run a good league."
"And through this incident, Mr. Pei has proved with an extremely iron fist that he has absolute control over the GPL!"
"The three clubs play as they say, and the rest of the clubs cooperate unconditionally. At the same time, Mr. Pei does not implement a relegation system, and spends a lot of money on the bottom-level training system. In fact, he is giving a clear signal: GPL is to do Long line!"
"Multiple signals are combined. Sponsors don't worry about their money being wasted, so they will naturally spend money to sponsor clubs and the GPL league."
"This is Mr. Pei's brilliance: on the surface, he is spending money for long-term interests, but in fact he is spreading a signal, and this signal wins more money, and even solves short-term problems. gone."
"Only rookies make choices, and experts make all choices!"
"If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. In a short time, various sponsors will come to our door one after another."
Li Shi had already drank some wine before, and he was three points drunk. At this time, his face was slightly flushed, and he was very satisfied with his analysis.
"So that's how it is!" Xue Zhebin suddenly realized, trying to digest.
And Pei Qian was eating food with his head depressed.
Everyone was talking, either talking loudly or whispering with their heads down, and Pei Qian was full of uneasiness when hearing these voices.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated, and it was Qiu Hong calling.
Pei Qian knew that there must be something more important, and he just wanted to go out to take a breath, so he got up and went outside to answer the phone.
...
Coming to a relatively quiet corner outside, Pei Qian answered the phone.
On the phone, Qiu Hong briefly introduced Wu Zhicheng's situation.
"Mr. Pei, this is probably the case."
"My thinking is that the most critical issue now is not money. Although independent game producers are also short of money, they are also short of other things."
"Especially for all kinds of supporting facilities, it is a difficult problem to solve because of the large investment and slow effect."
"So, for Wu Zhicheng's situation, I'm not sure what to do."
"I have decided to invest money in him, but I haven't thought about how to invest in it."
"If you just give money, this project can still be completed, but I always feel that something is still missing."
"Mr. Pei, I have an immature idea about this point, about the basic supporting facilities."
Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes lit up instantly.
The basic supporting facilities have a large investment and slow results?
Good thing!
For independent game producers, as long as they have money, they can make games. It doesn't really matter whether the working environment is good or bad.
Many independent game producers have made good works in a messy working environment.
Since it doesn't matter much, why not arrange a better environment for them?
This should be a typical high input, low output, right?
Isn't this your favorite?
Pei Qian immediately said: "Just tell me directly, how much does your immature idea cost?"
Hearing Mr. Pei being so straightforward, Qiu Hong hesitated instead: "Uh...Mr. Pei, this is what I think."
"In big cities like Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng, each has an incubation base similar to a 'co-working space'. Of course, Jingzhou can also open one."
"For a similar entrepreneurial base, we will recruit administrative, financial and other employees uniformly. The job of these people is to serve every independent game producer and help them solve a series of problems other than game development."
"At the same time, they can also be guided to a certain extent in their work, such as simply teaching them how to formulate development plans, contact painters, make financial statements, etc."
"Game producers can also know each other and communicate with each other."
"For an incubation base like this, daily water and electricity, employee wages, rent, etc. add up to at least two to three hundred thousand a month. The specific expenses depend on the number of workstations, location and other factors."
Pei Qian frowned: "Two to three hundred thousand? This is not in line with the spirit of Tengda at all!"
"Did you only count the rent of the desk, the base company of the employee and the utilities?"
"Doesn't the office computer count? Employee benefits don't count? Independent game developers work so hard, giving them a guaranteed income to maintain their daily lives, isn't it too much?"
"The incubation base is a good thing, open it!"
"The poor plan is still going on as usual, how should those companies support it or how to support it. As for the incubation base, I will give you extra money and open the flowers!"
Pei Qian is very happy, Qiu Hong is really capable, and he thought of a new way to spend money for me so quickly!
...
Qiu Hong hung up the phone and couldn't help feeling emotional.
Mr. Pei is really an entrepreneur who really loves the game industry, and at the same time can be real-time and vigorous!
The problem that he was so entangled in, Mr. Pei made a decision easily, and there was a solution.
He looked at Wu Zhicheng: "Your game, the poor plan, voted!"
"Besides, we will also provide you with office space and some necessary help. We hope we can make this game well together."
Wu Zhicheng opened his mouth slightly, feeling that this scene seemed unreal.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he said, "Thank you Mr. Qiu! Thank you so much!"
Qiu Hong smiled with some emotion: "No, we all have to thank Mr. Pei."
