To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 697 Investing in Cherry Studio (ask for a monthly pass!)

Liang Qingfan was taken aback for a moment.

Who buys a house and only buys a house with no potential for appreciation?

Could it be that……

President Pei actually meant to buy a popular real estate in the city center?

The price of popular real estate has been speculated to be very high, so the room for upside is relatively small. It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that the potential for appreciation is a little bit lower.

Liang Qingfan understood instantly, and nodded quickly: "No problem, Boss Pei!"

He obviously also noticed that Mr. Pei's attitude towards "buying a house" has changed dramatically.

Before that, I kept picking up garbage, and I was buying buildings with poor layout, remote buildings, commercial and residential buildings.

But now, they want to buy buildings with little appreciation potential, that is, some popular real estate in the city center.

why?

Liang Qingfan speculates based on the Sloth Apartment 2.0 model that this should be a strategic transformation.

I just started picking up trash, mainly to highlight the core concept of the sloth apartment.

For example, in the promotional video of the sloth apartment, the two buildings in the Binhu community have been completely remodeled from garbage buildings that no one cares about, and become particularly livable. This is very topical and has attracted a lot of attention.

But now, the Sloth Apartment has gained attention, so we need to continue to explore and establish a higher brand value.

Therefore, Liang Qingfan supported Mr. Pei's idea with both hands.

Seeing Liang Qingfan's expression of "heroes see the same thing", Pei Qian suddenly felt guilty for no reason.

But after thinking about it, it's useless to continue picking up trash, the value will increase wildly by then, and you will be cheated again when you settle the bill.

The lesser of two evils, Pei Qian considered for a long time, but decided to stick to the current idea.

Let’s build the sloth apartment 2.0 model first and have a look. If it doesn’t work, then think of other ways.

……

……

Friday, January 10th.

Imperial Capital, Cherry Studio.

"Hurry up, everyone, clean up your workstations quickly, so as not to leave a bad impression on others."

A tall and thin young man who looked less than 30 years old was tidying up his messy workstation full of various books, while greeting the other three people sitting beside him.

The other three looked younger than him. One boy had round inches and looked a bit naive, the other was a little fat, and there was a girl with glasses and a ponytail.

In the imperial capital, there are many such small independent game studios.

Three or four people can work in any incubator space and develop an independent game.

The tall and thin young man is Jiang Fan, the owner and producer of Cherry Studio.

The boy who looks a bit naive is called Yang Liang, and he is the main designer of the game. The slightly fat boy and the girl with a single ponytail are the numerical designer and art director of the game respectively.

Moreover, everyone is actually a function designer, and everyone can use a game editor to make games.

The girl is the person in charge of art, but she can only draw a few art resources by herself, and spends most of her time communicating with people on the resource site, raising demands, and checking and accepting art resources.

Such a small team of four is currently the standard team of independent game studios in China.

If the number of people is small, the development cycle will be longer, and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the game produced, it is pure luck; but if the number of people is larger, it may not be able to support it.

They are all making independent games, and they must be stretched in terms of funds, and even a dime has to be broken into two halves to spend.

To develop an independent game, even if there is an official editor and an official platform to find art, the cost still exists.

Rent has to be paid, personnel salaries have to be paid, and art resources have to be bought.

Although the official platform has various preferential policies for independent game producers, if the game cannot be sold, any preferential policies are useless, and all investment will still be lost.

Yang Liang, the chief designer who seems to be a bit naive, tidied up reluctantly: "Brother Fan, why don't you clean it up? I don't think it's useless. Before, several investors came to ask here and there. For a long time, no one is really willing to vote for us to take this risk."

"After all, the failure probability of independent games is too high, so I don't want to vote."

"With this time, it's better to fix two more bugs."

Jiang Fan was also a little helpless: "There is no way, Liangzi, the current financial situation of the studio is too bad. If no one helps, we will last for more than one month at most, and we will not even be able to pay wages by then. I can't let You all generate electricity for love. Try again."

"I asked a few friends in the industry to verify that Mr. Qiu who came today is indeed a well-known figure in the industry, and he has indeed contacted several game companies. Although he didn't vote for it, at least it shows that he has the idea."

Yang Liang continued to pack his things: "Really? Brother Fan, do you think we have a chance to get investment?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "This, I can't say well."

"This President Qiu used to be working on krypton gold games, but I don't know why. Since last week, he has been in frequent contact with domestic stand-alone game companies, especially with independent game studios like us. I know it’s in the imperial capital, and I’ve already discussed three of them.”

"It is said that he seems to be investing in domestic stand-alone games and independent games. For us, the probability of being invested is much higher than other investment companies."

"However, none of the three companies I've heard of have received investment."

"It's understandable that the first two didn't vote, it seems too unreliable, but the third one is very reliable, the game has already been completed, and the game content is also very good, just waiting to work hard and finally release it , as a result, Mr. Qiu didn't vote."

"It's not quite clear what exactly his criteria are."

"But anyway, this is a good opportunity for us, try to seize it."

The four people in the studio took the time to tidy up their workstations a little, waiting for the arrival of Mr. Qiu.

Jiang Fan anxiously looked at the time on the phone.

When it was 2 minutes to 2 pm, Jiang Fan's cell phone rang.

Jiang Fan hurriedly picked it up: "Mr. Qiu, are you here? Wait a minute, I'll go down to pick you up right away!"

Jiang Fan gave everyone a wink before leaving, and everyone immediately sat upright at their workstations and began to work seriously, waiting for Mr. Qiu to arrive.

A few minutes later, Jiang Fan led Qiu Hong to the office area of ​​Cherry Studio.

Ever since he accepted the mission of the "Poor Journey Project" from Mr. Pei, Qiu Hong came to the imperial capital without stopping after simply settling his personal affairs.

Cities such as Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng are all places where game companies gather together, so Qiu Hong chose Imperial Capital as his first stop.

Although Qiu Hong's task is to invest in stand-alone game companies and independent game studios across the country, he doesn't need to fly between cities every day.

It is the most efficient way to live in the imperial capital for a month, inspect a company every day, and wait for most of the companies in the imperial capital to be screened before changing to another city.

Qiu Hong had visited five companies before, but only voted for one.

Because there are three companies that look like very unreliable small workshops, and the bosses themselves don't know much about games, and they are a bit of an expert guiding experts, and Qiu Hong feels that they have a tendency to cheat investors out of money.

Mr. Pei said that those who are unreliable will definitely not vote.

There is a company that is good in all aspects, and the game has a high degree of completion. Qiu Hong tried it out and felt that the probability of success is very high.

But Mr. Pei also said that those who are too reliable cannot vote.

Therefore, there is only one well-behaved company that has received the investment from Qiu Hong's "Poor Road Project".

Today, Qiu Hong came to Cherry Studio to continue his investigation.

In fact, his job is the most relaxed and stress-free.When I was a game producer before, I had to rack my brains to think about the gameplay. I was afraid that if I made a wrong decision, the whole project would be ruined, but now I don’t need it. I just look at the company’s situation and decide whether to invest or not.

Moreover, the bonus you get now has nothing to do with whether the investment makes money. The more you invest, the more bonus you get. Where can you find such a good thing.

Without pressure, you will not worry about gains and losses, and you will be more rational and sober when making decisions.

Jiang Fan moved Qiu Hong a chair from the side, and took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser next to him, and then began to introduce the basic situation of Cherry Studio.

Qiu Hong listened silently while drinking water.

According to Jiang Fan, the establishment of Cherry Studio is basically a standard story of "using love to generate electricity".

Jiang Fan used to work in a law firm, and his major has nothing to do with games.He started making games only because of the existence of official platforms and editors, which greatly lowered the threshold for game production, and gave him the idea of ​​trying to make a game outside of work.

Jiang Fan usually works very slowly, and can only spare an hour a day to make games with the official editor.

In this way, he spent two full years making a text adventure game with the theme of a lawyer's defense, and it turned out to be quite well received after it went online.

Although the sales volume is not very high, after all, indie games don’t cost too much. Nearly 20 copies were sold for a price of five yuan. Counting the various preferential policies for indie games on the official platform, they earned more than 60 yuan. .

Therefore, Jiang Fan made a very important decision in his life. He gave up his job as a lawyer and decided to set up Cherry Studio to make independent games full-time.

The other three employees were also found by Jiang Fan from his own player group, after a simple communication and interview.These three also voluntarily gave up their previous jobs and came to Cherry Studio to earn a salary that could only guarantee basic living.

It's not that Jiang Fan is stingy, the key is that there is only about [-] yuan in total, and he has to pay the rent of the office space and the money to buy art resources. There is really no way to spend more money for salary.

The game I am developing now is called "Survival Manual for Office Workers", and it is much larger than the game Jiang Fan developed before. Room money is not enough.

In another month or so, even the salary may not be paid out, and the game is still not at the level where it can be launched.

　In the evening, there is another chapter to make up more words!For this game, I copied myself. It is the working dog version of "Chinese Parents". The game content can be found in Chapter 185 of "Restarting the Game Era". I won't repeat it here. It doesn't affect the plot.
