To become the richest man from the beginning of the game
Chapter 776 The situation is out (ask for a monthly pass!)
Chapter 776 A lot of situations
Xi Hao just explained a few words, and went to busy with his own affairs.
Mr. Qiu didn't say much about this inspection, and he didn't even ask them to make preparations in advance.
Xi Hao wanted to prepare subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, what are you preparing for?
Everyone is in a good working condition, with a positive attitude and full of emotions. The development progress of each project is relatively smooth. Even if the progress of some projects is not smooth, it is because there are better ideas to make changes to the development plan. Revise.
In short, in Xi Hao's view, the working condition of this incubation base is perfect, and there is nothing to hide.
The only problem may be that he didn't work overtime, and he didn't seem to work so hard, but Mr. Qiu never advocated working overtime.Since Mr. Qiu doesn't advocate it, shouldn't the leaders who came to inspect it also advocate it?
So Xi Hao didn't arrange for everyone to prepare for the surprise attack. He took a look around and found that the independent game producers and the employees of the administrative department were working hard, so he was relieved.
Most of this inspection is just a formality. The inspectors come around, ask a few random questions, and then put forward some irrelevant opinions and suggestions, and it's over.
……
At 2:[-] in the afternoon, Qiu Hong led Tang Yishu to the indie game incubation base of "The Poor Road Project".
The two drivers still followed Tang Yishu cautiously like bodyguards, always on guard against all possible dangers.
Wu Zhicheng saw Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu from a long distance away, but he didn't realize for a while that this young girl was the "leader" who came to inspect.
Because he was too young, Wu Zhicheng highly doubted whether he was 20 years old or not.
And looking at her timid, step-by-step appearance, she is more like the little girl in school who walks with her head bowed. How can she look like a leader?
But judging from Qiu Hong's attitude towards her and the look of the two bodyguards behind him as if they were facing a big enemy, he would feel that she was a person of high status.
"Could it be the jewel in the palm of the big money lord behind Mr. Qiu?"
In Wu Zhicheng's mind, many plots that are often seen in novels appeared in an instant.
Although he was a little surprised, Wu Zhicheng felt relieved after seeing Tang Yishu's true face.
Originally, he was naturally a little resistant to such things as "leadership inspection". He was afraid of encountering that kind of unreasonable and brain-dead leader, asking some brain-dead questions and making some brain-dead rectification suggestions in order to brush up his sense of existence.
In the end, seeing that she was a timid little girl who looked easy to talk to, Wu Zhicheng felt a lot more at ease, thinking that this "inspection" was probably just a formality.
What kind of game design can such a young girl know?It must be just a casual look, Mr. Qiu just made a fool of himself and passed.
Xi Hao also saw Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu, and hurried up to greet him: "Mr. Qiu!"
Qiu Hong introduced: "This is Xiao Tang, the representative of the funder of the 'Qiantu Project', and this is Xi Hao, the person in charge of the administrative department responsible for the daily operation and management of the incubation base."
Qiu Hong felt that if Tang Yishu could inspect the work as a "special envoy", she must be a person in charge within Tengda, right?It stands to reason that when you are called, you should bring your position.
But he also didn't know what Tang Yishu's specific position in Tengda was, because Mr. Pei didn't mention it.
So, I can only give a vague introduction like this.
Xi Hao quickly stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Tang Yishu was afraid that her luck would be shared by others, but she also felt that it would be impolite not to shake hands, so she held out her hand and shook it with some hesitation: "My name is Tang Yishu, please call me Xiaotang."
Seeing that the "leader" who came to inspect was so unassuming, Xi Hao was also very happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then let me introduce the daily work of the incubation base, please follow me."
Xi Hao led Tang Yishu and Qiu Hong around the incubation base and gave a brief introduction.
"This is our rest area, where we have lunch, daily meetings, and reception of guests, etc."
"This is the administrative area. Our administrative department is mainly responsible for planning the game development plan and various supporting services. In addition to being responsible for the daily operation of the incubation base, we also have a lot of work to do."
"Our lunch is delivered by the nearby Moyu takeaway, and coffee drinks are provided for free."
"As for the game, the current development progress is going well. The fastest game may be officially launched next month, and the slower one may have to wait another three to five months. The capacity of the game is different, and the development time will also vary. difference."
Xi Hao briefly introduced all aspects of the incubation base. During the process, Tang Yishu listened carefully and nodded frequently, but did not ask any questions at all.
Originally, Xi Hao intended to give a brief introduction, but Tang Yishu would definitely ask questions, and she would answer them in detail when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yishu just listened carefully and then nodded, without any thought of asking questions.
This is a bit embarrassing, because it only takes about 10 minutes to go around the entire incubation base and bring the introduction. People come from Jingzhou all the way to the imperial capital, so they can't just go for inspection in 10 minutes, right?
But the introduction of the entire incubation base has indeed been finished, and Tang Yishu didn't ask any questions. Xi Hao felt that it was a bit strange for him to take the initiative to introduce it from the beginning in detail.
Looking at the scene seemed a bit awkward, Xi Hao was quick to wit.
"How about I ask the producers to show a few demos with a relatively high degree of completion for you to take a look at?"
As soon as these words came out, Xi Hao admired himself a little.
There's nothing special about Hatch Base, but there are so many indie games doing it!
Although these independent games have not yet reached the point where they can be officially launched, they are only partly completed, but it is no problem to show them as a DEMO.
Showing these demos also shows that the work at the incubation base is very effective and the results are remarkable, and Mr. Qiu can also have a bright face.
Tang Yishu said with some uncertainty: "If it's troublesome, then there's no need..."
Xi Hao hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble! Come, please come here."
"Old Yu, call out the demo of your game. That's right, it's the demo of the stable trial version that I just made a while ago."
An indie game producer with a beard next to him immediately opened the editor and called up the demo of his game.
Xi Hao stepped forward and glanced briefly. There was nothing wrong with the start interface of the game demo, so he looked at Tang Yishu and pointed to the seat: "Please sit down."
This is a stable demo version of DEMO with relatively few bugs.
There are also different versions during the game development process. In order to prevent some irreversible vicious bugs in the game, the new version will not overwrite the old version immediately after the development or completion of the development, but will save multiple versions.
After each version is completed, it will be revised repeatedly to ensure that there are no major vicious bugs before continuing to develop the next version.
This DEMO is a stable version. After several bug modifications, it can basically run smoothly.
Of course, Xi Hao was also afraid that a bunch of vicious bugs would suddenly appear in the middle of the game and leave a bad impression on the other party, so he first chose a stable version of the game DEMO.
Tang Yishu sat on the chair and picked up the handle on the table very strangely.
She doesn't usually play many games, and her reaction is a little slow, and she has a handicap, so the posture of holding the controller is a bit stiff.
Xi Hao was a little surprised. Why doesn't the representative of the funder of the "Qiantu Project" seem to be very good at playing games?
But he didn't say anything, just briefly introduced the operation method of this game, and which skills each button corresponds to.
Tang Yishu gently pushed the joystick, and the villain on the screen took a few steps, and then jumped a few times on the spot.
However, the first mob hadn't been refreshed yet, when a "boom" sound was heard, and a prompt box popped up on the game window.
Wrong report!
Both Xi Hao and Lao Yu's eyes widened, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
Isn't this the stable version of DEMO?
After running it at least dozens of times, there are no vicious bugs?
Xi Hao looked at Lao Yu, and that meant: What's the matter?Why did you drop me at a critical moment?
Lao Yu was also very innocent. He spread his hands, which meant: How the hell would I know!
This stable demo version has not been changed for a long time, and it has been working fine before.
The game reported an error and couldn't continue playing. Xi Hao felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and hurriedly said: "Small bugs, small bugs, these problems are inevitable during the game development process."
"Old Yu, hurry up and write down the screenshot of this bug, and hurry up to modify it later, so as not to affect the official version."
Old Yu nodded: "Hey! No problem."
Tang Yishu played with a controller, and Lao Yu took a screenshot with his keyboard and mouse while standing beside him, and quickly created a new form to record the bugs, waiting for subsequent revisions.
Then he closed the error window and restarted the game.
Tang Yishu entered the game again, this time running for 1 minute, no more bugs appeared.
Xi Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Look, it was an occasional small bug just now, it doesn't happen every time. It should be a coincidence today, there is no big problem..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the villain on the screen was beaten to death by a group of mobs, but the restart option screen did not appear, and the game flow was stuck.
Xi Hao: "This..."
This time there is no need for him to talk, Lao Yu hurriedly took screenshots, recorded, and restarted the game in one go, and the whole process did not exceed 1 minute.
Xi Hao was a little speechless: "Go ahead."
After more than half an hour, Tang Yishu finally got through the demo with a short process.
However, looking at Old Yu, there were at least fifteen items listed on the form, and a bunch of screenshots of bugs were placed on the desktop.
Xi Hao was a little ashamed and didn't dare to look Qiu Hong directly in the eyes.
This is a mess!
Originally, I wanted to show the game developed by the incubation base to Xiao Tang who came to inspect, but it turned out to be a bug display!
Fifteen bugs directly stunned Lao Yu. The severity of the bugs varies. Some directly report errors and exit the game. Some are texture errors that affect visual effects. Can continue to play.
But regardless of whether the bug is serious or not, it must be fixed.
Lao Yu originally felt good about himself, and felt that there would be no problem in showing this stable version of DEMO, but today he didn’t know why he was so memorized, and all the hidden occasional bugs were caught up!
Xi Hao said with some embarrassment: "This should be an accident, bad luck. If you look at this game again, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Xiao Zhou, turn on your game."
Xi Hao was anxious to get back the place, to prove that not all the games made by the incubation base were a mess, and there were still games that could be played.
However, Xiao Zhou scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Hao, I don't know why this game can't be opened..."
Xi Haoren fainted: "Didn't it be fine in the morning? Why can't it be opened?"
Xiao Zhou said with an innocent face: "I don't know either! I haven't changed anything!"
Xi Hao was speechless: "Hurry up and investigate!"
All of a sudden, the entire independent game incubation base was flying around.
Indie games are inherently buggy.
Because of the shortage of manpower in independent games, whether it is testing bugs or modifying bugs, it is not so timely.
However, these independent game producers are already used to it. Some experienced independent game producers will choose more mature and complete solutions to reduce the existence of some hidden bugs.
And after coming to the incubation base, the producers and the employees of the administrative department often play each other's games and find bugs for each other, so compared to before, the number of bugs is much less.
These indie game producers have always been in a state of "time is quiet and good", and feel that there are not so many bugs in their games, at least there is no major problem in running them smoothly.
As a result, everyone was severely slapped in the face today!
All kinds of weird bugs emerge one after another, all the game producers have a feeling that the house is leaking and raining at night, as if all the bad luck is concentrated today!
Wu Zhicheng was full of confidence and wanted to show "Ink and Cloud" to the leading girl who came to inspect, but he played it secretly and found a lot of bugs!
There are many bugs in it that he has never seen before. It seems that they have been lurking not long after the production of "Ink and Clouds", and they have been lurking for several versions, and they were suddenly exposed today.
A ladle of cold water was poured on Wu Zhicheng's head, and he remained silent.
What else does this show?Don't be ashamed, hurry up and fix the bug!
I no longer dare to take the hidden bug lightly, and fortunately it was exposed during the development process. If it is hidden until the game goes online, and then a vicious bug breaks out in a concentrated manner, why not be scolded to death by the players?
At that time, the game made after months of hard work will be ruined by such a bug, which is too wronged.
The atmosphere in the hatchery quickly changed from active to serious, and from serious to broken.
Numerous bugs ruthlessly pierced the fantasy of these producers, making them no longer feel good about themselves.
Xi Hao was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to show the results of the incubation base, but ended up overturning one after another.
Although this little Tang didn't seem angry, and still had a kind face, Xi Hao felt infinite pressure.
It seems that we have to pay close attention to game testing in the future, and the current level is still far from the launch!
No more games to play, Xi Hao suggested: "Why don't we sit in the rest area for a while and have a cup of coffee."
Tang Yishu nodded: "Okay."
Everyone came to the rest area and ordered a cup of coffee.
Xi Hao felt a little guilty: "I'm really sorry today, and I don't know why, the bugs have all caught up! But don't worry, our attitude in modifying the bugs is absolutely fine, these bugs will be fixed soon, and will be fixed soon. Make up your mind, test a few more times, and do everything possible to reduce the existence of bugs."
"Uh... Do you have any other questions here? I can answer them all."
Tang Yishu originally wanted to say that there was no other problem, but suddenly remembered Pei Qian's advice before leaving, and hurriedly said, "I want to ask, how is your work efficiency?"
"Work efficiency?" Xi Hao replied immediately, "Of course the work efficiency is very, very high!"
"Our administrative department has helped the producers solve their worries, so that they can concentrate on the gameplay design of the game, because it is their interest and the most creative work, so the creative enthusiasm of every game producer is fully stimulated ..."
Xi Hao finally found a place suitable for him to play, and began to talk freely.
Although his words are slightly exaggerated, there is actually no big problem. The incubation base does provide independent game producers with an environment in which they can create with peace of mind, which greatly improves their work efficiency. This is the consensus of all game producers.
Xi Hao explained his point of view in detail, and used various details to prove that the work efficiency of the incubation base is indeed very high.
He noticed that Tang Yishu was listening carefully the whole time, nodding frequently, obviously moved by what he said.
Xi Hao couldn't help feeling a little proud. After all, the work efficiency of the producers has been improved, which is due to him, the person in charge of the administrative department.
Shouldn't it be praised?
However, after listening to Xi Hao's words, Tang Yishu said: "It sounds like there seems to be a serious problem with your daily work process."
"In the future, it will be mandatory for all staff to set aside ten hours of working time a week to play games. It must be working time and cannot take up rest time after get off work."
Xi Hao: "Huh?"
He almost thought he had heard it wrong.
How could high productivity indicate a serious problem with daily workflow?
And the solution is to make it mandatory to play games during working hours?Do you still have to play ten hours a week?
Tang Yishu said this without confidence, because she was just repeating what Pei Qian said before she came.
Pei Qian said that as long as the efficiency of the incubation base is high, everyone must be forced to play games for ten hours a week.
As for why you need to play games for high work efficiency?Pei Qian didn't say this, so Tang Yishu naturally didn't know either.
Qiu Hong, who was silent at the side, suddenly raised his head: "Xiao Tang, do you think that the 'high work efficiency' described by Xi Hao is not necessarily a good thing?"
Xi Hao was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why is high work efficiency not necessarily a good thing?"
Qiu Hong explained: "If you follow conventional thinking, high work efficiency is definitely better than low work efficiency. However, in some artistic creation jobs, simply high efficiency is not necessarily a good thing."
"Game design is also a kind of artistic creation, and sometimes it is very dependent on inspiration. Many times, people's thinking will be cornered. When they are cornered, people's spirit will be highly concentrated and work efficiency will be significantly improved. But The final product is not necessarily good.”
"Take these game producers. They are very dedicated and efficient, but because of this, they may fall into a certain state of paranoia. Focus all their energy on their games , Blindly think that the current practice is the best, ignoring some better possibilities."
"And forcing everyone to play more games is to hope that everyone can get out of their own small circle while maintaining efficiency, look at the practices of other games, and learn from others' strengths, which may inspire new inspiration."
"I think Xiao Tang should mean that."
Xi Hao suddenly said: "So that's it, I understand! Then I'll start preparing to organize everyone to play games together and collect inspiration and materials!"
After hearing what Qiu Hong said, Tang Yishu couldn't help but nodded slightly.
So that's what the senior meant!
The senior is amazing, everything is anticipated and arranged in advance!
The inspection at the incubation base is over, Qiu Hong took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said to Tang Yishu: "Then let's go here first today, tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, let's go to the girl with cold noodles to have a look. "
……
……
December 12, Friday morning.
In the first store of the cold noodle girl, Meng Chang directed the staff and the cleaning aunt to perform their respective duties, cleaning the entire store including the back kitchen, and at the same time, the tables and chairs in the store were also neatly arranged.
The long-term positioning of Leng Noodle Girl is a Chinese fast food brand, and of course it also operates breakfast.
It is now 5 o'clock in the morning. Although a round of cleaning has been carried out after proofing last night, Meng Chang is still worried. He arrived early this morning and made a final inspection before opening for business to ensure that the store is kept in the best condition. .
Meng Chang didn't know about Tang Yishu's visit to the imperial capital, and the cleaning today was not for her, but for a few investors who came to investigate.
Tang Yishu and these investors met by chance.
This started when Meng Chang received another 600 million investment from Yuanmeng Venture Capital some time ago.
Because Mr. Pei requested, Meng Chang did not dare to disclose that the 600 million investment was obtained from Tengda, but Meng Chang is so shrewd, there are other ways to convey this information to investors.
Before Pei Qian decided to invest 600 million yuan, many investors had already extended an olive branch to Meng Chang.
However, Meng Chang rejected all of them, because in his opinion, these investment terms were too harsh. Either there was a VAM agreement, or the founder's shares were locked, which was very unfriendly to him.
After Meng Chang refused, these investors neither persisted nor gave up immediately. Instead, they kept an indifferent attitude and continued to observe.
They are waiting, waiting for the cold noodle girl to encounter financial problems.
Now all investors can see that Meng Chang is a founder who is keen on burning money in marketing. Even if the store of Leng Noodle Girl can turn losses into profits, it will definitely not be able to support Meng Chang's burning speed.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, because Meng Chang is good at marketing, and he has indeed forcibly instilled the "Cold Noodle Girl" brand into users by burning money.
In the eyes of many investors, this is very in line with the behavior of Internet marketing, and Meng Chang has done a good job.
Meng Chang and capital need each other.
To maintain the capital chain and popularity of Leng Noodle Girl, Meng Chang will definitely continue to find ways to raise funds; and once Leng Noodle Girl's brand is successful and its valuation skyrockets, these capitals can also get rich returns.
Therefore, these investors believed that Meng Chang's temporary refusal was just a means of bargaining.
As long as the cold noodle girl encounters financial problems, Meng Chang will naturally let go of his arrogance and accept an investment agreement including a series of terms such as gambling and share lock-up in order to continue financing.
Their plan was fine. In fact, if Yuanmeng Venture Capital did not continue to invest money, Meng Chang would really fall into this dilemma.
But Meng Chang, who has the character of a gambler, made the right bet again.
After getting the bullet from Yuanmeng Venture Capital, although he couldn't make a big show of it, Meng Chang still had a perfect chance to fight back.
He began to burn money at a faster rate, and even spent hundreds of thousands to rent venues, and started to hold personal speeches, using his excellent eloquence and business acumen to endorse the brand "Cold Noodle Girl".
On the one hand, this is to continue to expand the influence of the cold noodle girl, and on the other hand, it is also to send a very clear message to investors.
You don't invest money?Don't you think I can't get investment from other places?
Sorry, not only did I get it, but I got a lot of it!
Are you still sticking to that agreement and not retreating an inch?If you don’t invest again, if you don’t invest now, you may have no chance to invest in the future.
Seeing that the cold noodle girl was burning so much money, these investors couldn't help feeling a little flustered when Meng Chang still seemed to be planning a plan without any problems in the capital chain.
Because the company's valuation is getting higher and higher, the more capital influx, the faster it grows.
Investing one month earlier and investing one month later, because of the difference in company valuation, the actual shares that can be bought are also very different.
Therefore, now it is the turn of these investors to lose their composure, and want to investigate again and decide how much concessions they want to make in the investment agreement.
Meng Chang intends to complete his work in one battle. Today, he will try to fool these investors, continue to push up the valuation of the cold noodle girl, and prepare for the next step to find a successor.
Even someone with a big heart like Meng Chang couldn't help being a little nervous.Because if the game goes wrong today and investors continue to wait and see, the money on hand really won't last long, and there is a risk of capital chain breaking at any time.
Of course, even if there is a small problem in the capital chain, the cold noodle girl brand will not die suddenly on the spot. Meng Chang still has many ways to find money.
But in this case, the money found will be hotter and not so easy to hold.
Therefore, Meng Chang's current behavior is actually continuing to show his muscles to investors. On the one hand, he shows investors a bright future through his good eloquence and business model; Prove that you have the ability to turn a bright future into a reality.
After confirming all the details of the store like a paranoid man, Meng Chang began to review what he said to the investors today to ensure that the presentation in the morning was foolproof.
……
10 am.
Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu came to the cold noodle girl's store and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
Although it's not lunch time yet, there are still quite a few people in the Leng Noodle Girl's store. About [-]% of the seats in the store are occupied. It seems that there will definitely be a queue during the noon rush hour.
Tang Yishu looked at the environment in the store curiously, with a little confusion in her eyes.
Everything is fine, no problems.
Before coming here, Pei Qian specifically told her to pay attention to the situation of the cold noodle girl and report the truth after returning.Don't worry about not being able to understand it, you don't need to study it deliberately, just observe it based on your first impression.
But when Tang Yishu came to the store, she realized that she really didn't notice anything from her first impression.
The store is very clean and tidy, and it seems that the business is good. The waiters are not as formulaic and enthusiastic as other fast food restaurants, but they all have a faint smile and are hospitable to customers, even better than some traditional fast food brands. The service attitude is even better.
In Tang Yishu's eyes, this is just a normal restaurant that will make a lot of money.
The two ordered some signature food casually, and the food was served quickly.
Tang Yishu was worried while eating, because she really didn't feel any major shortcomings or problems in this store.
Of course, it’s not perfect. After all, it’s a fast food brand, so you can’t expect too much in terms of taste, but it’s definitely above a passing grade.
At the same time, Meng Chang was waiting for investors to arrive in another inconspicuous corner of the store.
Meng Chang appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little anxious, because the appointment was at 10 o'clock, and these investors were already a few minutes late.
Suddenly, Meng Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and walked towards the door.
Not long after, Meng Chang and several investors walked into the store talking and laughing.
"Mr. Meng, I'm really sorry. There is a bit of traffic jam on the road. I'm a few minutes late, so I kept you waiting."
"It's okay, it's okay, those who are willing to come to my small shop are rewarded, please don't be polite."
Meng Chang acted calm and calm, and everything was under control. After a simple greeting, he began to explain the situation of the cold noodle girl to everyone.
Including the results of the recent marketing plan of the cold noodle girl, the preparation of the new store, the feedback of the new meal, the various service details of the store, etc.
The brand of Cold Noodle Girl is also constantly developing, and the management mode of the store and the taste of the food are also being continuously optimized. Even if individual investors have been here some time ago, they can see obvious progress now.
After all, Meng Chang has increased the intensity of burning money. It would be unreasonable if the store remains unchanged.
Tang Yishu, who was sitting in the corner next to her, was sipping cold roasted noodles while pricking up her ears to listen to what these people were discussing.
However, Meng Chang's voice was not loud, and Tang Yishu's concentration was only intermittent, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
If you can't see anything in the cold noodle girl's shop this time, how can you give a job to the senior when you go back?
Meng Chang began to enthusiastically introduce the situation in the store to the investors.
"Recently, the decoration style of our store has been fine-tuned and some new embellishments have been added. The main purpose is to create an atmosphere and atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity. You see, here is a traditional Chinese style element, with Posters with a bit of literary flavor are all part of the cultural heritage of the brand of Leng Noodle Girl."
"Mixing and matching a variety of styles makes customers' dining environment unique. These design styles become materials that customers are willing to share on Weibo or social circles, which makes customers become our free publicists."
"These details are also reflected in all aspects. For example, our dining table and chairs are all specially customized by the factory. They are also between trendy and nostalgic, and they are both beautiful and practical. In theory, there will be no problems in ten years... "
Meng Chang was playing with the swivel chair while introducing it, but suddenly heard a soft "creak" sound, and the swivel chair got stuck.
Meng Chang: "?"
He thought it was the wrong way of turning himself, so he tried to turn it forward and then reversed, only to find that it was indeed stuck, and it didn't move at all!
The scene was a bit embarrassing.
Meng Chang was puzzled, what's going on?
What he said was not a lie, these tables and chairs were indeed custom-made, there was no cutting corners at all, and the materials were very solid, theoretically speaking, there would be no problem in using them for a few years.
But something went wrong!
Although it wasn't a big problem, it was just that the rotating shaft of the dining chair got stuck for unknown reasons and couldn't continue to rotate, but the feeling of being slapped in the face on the spot still made Meng Chang very embarrassed.
Although the investors were very face-saving and didn't say anything, Meng Chang knew that these investors must have some thoughts in their hearts.The accumulation of these small flaws will affect investors' evaluation of the cold-faced girl, and the investment agreement they can get will be more stringent.
However, Meng Chang has a strong psychological quality after all, and this small episode is not enough to make him lose his footing. He said with a smile: "It seems that there are still some minor problems in the quality control of this furniture factory. It’s not a bad thing to correct it early.”
"We will definitely ask them to strengthen quality control in the future."
"In addition to the dining environment, our waiter recruitment and cultural construction are also different from other catering brands..."
Meng Chang quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue to entangle this matter to impress investors.
However, while talking, I saw a customer stood up impatiently, came to the front desk and said, "Why is my fried cold noodles still not ready? Didn't you promise that the meal will be ready in 15 minutes? It takes 10 minutes Already!"
The girl at the front desk said very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to rush the kitchen."
The customers returned to their seats a little speechlessly.
Investors have obviously noticed that some subtle changes have taken place in their expressions.
Meng Chang's heart skipped a beat, and he silently scolded these people in the back kitchen a hundred times.
Isn't it always good?And just this early in the morning, I have just made repeated orders to ensure the speed of meal delivery, so why are you making trouble for me at this time!
This is it!
But he is also very clear that he can't be entangled with this now, the more entangled, the bigger the flaw.So just pretend nothing happened, and explain to the investors in a spirited manner.
But within half a minute of speaking, something happened again.
A tall and burly man seemed impatient to wait, and said from his seat, "Why haven't the side dishes I ordered been served yet? The noodles are almost finished! Aren't your side dishes cold dishes? Why, you just started growing them now." ?”
A waiter hurried over and comforted him in a low voice.
The corner of Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly. It was impossible to ignore it this time. One time could be said to be accidental, but what about two times?
You must know that the self-positioning of Leng Noodle Girl is a fast food brand, and the requirement is that the meal must be served within 15 minutes, the sooner the better. Now there is a problem with the meal delivery time, and the impression left to investors is that the management of the back kitchen is chaotic. Maybe It will directly affect the brand building and reputation of the cold noodle girl.
What's more, it's not yet the peak time for lunch, and the slow serving of meals should never happen.
This must be fooled.
Meng Chang adjusted his mentality, but still maintained his demeanor: "Sorry, there seems to be a small problem in the back kitchen, please wait a moment, I will deal with it."
Meng Chang walked quickly to the back kitchen, and whispered angrily, "What's the matter! Why is the food served so slowly today!"
The waiters were busy, and when they saw Meng Chang coming, they hurriedly explained: "Mr. Meng! I don't know what happened today. I was a little unlucky. I accidentally fried a pot of fried noodles just now, and when the dishes were served, I didn't know what to do." Be careful when you fall, the side dish is missing..."
Meng Chang was so angry that his teeth were itching, it was not good to make a fuss, it had to be at this juncture!
But it was already like this, and Meng Chang had no good solution, he could only curse a few words, telling them to hurry up and eat.
After Meng Chang left the back kitchen, he regained that calm expression again.
He came to the center of the store and clapped his hands lightly: "I'm very sorry, customers, there was a little bit of trouble in the back kitchen today. But don't worry, everyone, I hereby assure you that there will be no complaints within 15 minutes today. We will give you a full free order for those who eat out!"
At this time, the only way to extinguish the anger of customers is to throw coins wildly.
If there is a problem, it must be solved quickly and actively. These investors are still staring at it. If the problem is not solved in time, the points will be doubled.
Hearing that the order will be waived, the anxiously waiting customers finally calmed down.
Qiu Hong was a little puzzled, and whispered: "Hey, the food was served quite quickly when we came. Is there something wrong with their back kitchen?"
Tang Yishu continued to sip the roasted cold noodles, pretending not to hear.
I still remember the first time I went to the family banquet in Ming Mansion, even Mr. Li's high-end restaurant was recruited, and the back kitchen had a lot of problems.
Leng Noodle Girl is an ordinary fast food restaurant, and the kitchen is definitely not as good as the family banquet in Mingfu, how can it stand up to it.
Tang Yishu is a little guilty, she came here for an unannounced visit today, but looking at the current situation, she is a little worried that she might accidentally spoil the matter of the senior, right?
Tang Yishu took out a tissue and wiped her mouth: "President Qiu, let's go."
Qiu Hong was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Don't you want to look again?"
Tang Yishu shook her head: "I won't watch it."
She knew that the cold noodle girl was invested by Pei Qian. If she sat here again, the situation in the back kitchen would continue, and the consequences would be disastrous.
It's better to leave as soon as possible before causing more harm.
Qiu Hong didn't say much, after all, Tang Yishu was the one who came to make an unannounced visit, and he was only responsible for accompanying him.The two got up and left.
On Meng Chang's side, he continued to explain to the investors, but he could clearly feel that the investors' eyes were no longer as interested as they were at the beginning.
There is no way, today's sudden situation is too hurtful, and many investors who were originally excited have returned to the wait-and-see state again.
"Okay, Mr. Meng, let's go here first today. We'll discuss the investment when we go back. We'll give you an answer in two days."
The investors are still very polite, but the attitude in the conversation obviously has some subtle changes from when they first came.
Meng Chang knew it well, but there was nothing he could do. He could only bite the bullet and continue to pretend that he didn't care, and sent these investors away with a smile.
Back to the cold noodle girl, Meng Chang sighed silently, found an empty seat and sat down to sulk.
The waiter walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Meng! The kitchen is no longer a problem, and those customers who were delayed have been given free orders. The meal delivery time during the lunch peak period can definitely be guaranteed!"
Meng Chang glanced at her angrily, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tired.
Push a friend's book "I'm the only one in the world who doesn't know that I'm an expert", the latest new trend is also an old author
(End of this chapter)
Xi Hao just explained a few words, and went to busy with his own affairs.
Mr. Qiu didn't say much about this inspection, and he didn't even ask them to make preparations in advance.
Xi Hao wanted to prepare subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, what are you preparing for?
Everyone is in a good working condition, with a positive attitude and full of emotions. The development progress of each project is relatively smooth. Even if the progress of some projects is not smooth, it is because there are better ideas to make changes to the development plan. Revise.
In short, in Xi Hao's view, the working condition of this incubation base is perfect, and there is nothing to hide.
The only problem may be that he didn't work overtime, and he didn't seem to work so hard, but Mr. Qiu never advocated working overtime.Since Mr. Qiu doesn't advocate it, shouldn't the leaders who came to inspect it also advocate it?
So Xi Hao didn't arrange for everyone to prepare for the surprise attack. He took a look around and found that the independent game producers and the employees of the administrative department were working hard, so he was relieved.
Most of this inspection is just a formality. The inspectors come around, ask a few random questions, and then put forward some irrelevant opinions and suggestions, and it's over.
……
At 2:[-] in the afternoon, Qiu Hong led Tang Yishu to the indie game incubation base of "The Poor Road Project".
The two drivers still followed Tang Yishu cautiously like bodyguards, always on guard against all possible dangers.
Wu Zhicheng saw Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu from a long distance away, but he didn't realize for a while that this young girl was the "leader" who came to inspect.
Because he was too young, Wu Zhicheng highly doubted whether he was 20 years old or not.
And looking at her timid, step-by-step appearance, she is more like the little girl in school who walks with her head bowed. How can she look like a leader?
But judging from Qiu Hong's attitude towards her and the look of the two bodyguards behind him as if they were facing a big enemy, he would feel that she was a person of high status.
"Could it be the jewel in the palm of the big money lord behind Mr. Qiu?"
In Wu Zhicheng's mind, many plots that are often seen in novels appeared in an instant.
Although he was a little surprised, Wu Zhicheng felt relieved after seeing Tang Yishu's true face.
Originally, he was naturally a little resistant to such things as "leadership inspection". He was afraid of encountering that kind of unreasonable and brain-dead leader, asking some brain-dead questions and making some brain-dead rectification suggestions in order to brush up his sense of existence.
In the end, seeing that she was a timid little girl who looked easy to talk to, Wu Zhicheng felt a lot more at ease, thinking that this "inspection" was probably just a formality.
What kind of game design can such a young girl know?It must be just a casual look, Mr. Qiu just made a fool of himself and passed.
Xi Hao also saw Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu, and hurried up to greet him: "Mr. Qiu!"
Qiu Hong introduced: "This is Xiao Tang, the representative of the funder of the 'Qiantu Project', and this is Xi Hao, the person in charge of the administrative department responsible for the daily operation and management of the incubation base."
Qiu Hong felt that if Tang Yishu could inspect the work as a "special envoy", she must be a person in charge within Tengda, right?It stands to reason that when you are called, you should bring your position.
But he also didn't know what Tang Yishu's specific position in Tengda was, because Mr. Pei didn't mention it.
So, I can only give a vague introduction like this.
Xi Hao quickly stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Tang Yishu was afraid that her luck would be shared by others, but she also felt that it would be impolite not to shake hands, so she held out her hand and shook it with some hesitation: "My name is Tang Yishu, please call me Xiaotang."
Seeing that the "leader" who came to inspect was so unassuming, Xi Hao was also very happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then let me introduce the daily work of the incubation base, please follow me."
Xi Hao led Tang Yishu and Qiu Hong around the incubation base and gave a brief introduction.
"This is our rest area, where we have lunch, daily meetings, and reception of guests, etc."
"This is the administrative area. Our administrative department is mainly responsible for planning the game development plan and various supporting services. In addition to being responsible for the daily operation of the incubation base, we also have a lot of work to do."
"Our lunch is delivered by the nearby Moyu takeaway, and coffee drinks are provided for free."
"As for the game, the current development progress is going well. The fastest game may be officially launched next month, and the slower one may have to wait another three to five months. The capacity of the game is different, and the development time will also vary. difference."
Xi Hao briefly introduced all aspects of the incubation base. During the process, Tang Yishu listened carefully and nodded frequently, but did not ask any questions at all.
Originally, Xi Hao intended to give a brief introduction, but Tang Yishu would definitely ask questions, and she would answer them in detail when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yishu just listened carefully and then nodded, without any thought of asking questions.
This is a bit embarrassing, because it only takes about 10 minutes to go around the entire incubation base and bring the introduction. People come from Jingzhou all the way to the imperial capital, so they can't just go for inspection in 10 minutes, right?
But the introduction of the entire incubation base has indeed been finished, and Tang Yishu didn't ask any questions. Xi Hao felt that it was a bit strange for him to take the initiative to introduce it from the beginning in detail.
Looking at the scene seemed a bit awkward, Xi Hao was quick to wit.
"How about I ask the producers to show a few demos with a relatively high degree of completion for you to take a look at?"
As soon as these words came out, Xi Hao admired himself a little.
There's nothing special about Hatch Base, but there are so many indie games doing it!
Although these independent games have not yet reached the point where they can be officially launched, they are only partly completed, but it is no problem to show them as a DEMO.
Showing these demos also shows that the work at the incubation base is very effective and the results are remarkable, and Mr. Qiu can also have a bright face.
Tang Yishu said with some uncertainty: "If it's troublesome, then there's no need..."
Xi Hao hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble! Come, please come here."
"Old Yu, call out the demo of your game. That's right, it's the demo of the stable trial version that I just made a while ago."
An indie game producer with a beard next to him immediately opened the editor and called up the demo of his game.
Xi Hao stepped forward and glanced briefly. There was nothing wrong with the start interface of the game demo, so he looked at Tang Yishu and pointed to the seat: "Please sit down."
This is a stable demo version of DEMO with relatively few bugs.
There are also different versions during the game development process. In order to prevent some irreversible vicious bugs in the game, the new version will not overwrite the old version immediately after the development or completion of the development, but will save multiple versions.
After each version is completed, it will be revised repeatedly to ensure that there are no major vicious bugs before continuing to develop the next version.
This DEMO is a stable version. After several bug modifications, it can basically run smoothly.
Of course, Xi Hao was also afraid that a bunch of vicious bugs would suddenly appear in the middle of the game and leave a bad impression on the other party, so he first chose a stable version of the game DEMO.
Tang Yishu sat on the chair and picked up the handle on the table very strangely.
She doesn't usually play many games, and her reaction is a little slow, and she has a handicap, so the posture of holding the controller is a bit stiff.
Xi Hao was a little surprised. Why doesn't the representative of the funder of the "Qiantu Project" seem to be very good at playing games?
But he didn't say anything, just briefly introduced the operation method of this game, and which skills each button corresponds to.
Tang Yishu gently pushed the joystick, and the villain on the screen took a few steps, and then jumped a few times on the spot.
However, the first mob hadn't been refreshed yet, when a "boom" sound was heard, and a prompt box popped up on the game window.
Wrong report!
Both Xi Hao and Lao Yu's eyes widened, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
Isn't this the stable version of DEMO?
After running it at least dozens of times, there are no vicious bugs?
Xi Hao looked at Lao Yu, and that meant: What's the matter?Why did you drop me at a critical moment?
Lao Yu was also very innocent. He spread his hands, which meant: How the hell would I know!
This stable demo version has not been changed for a long time, and it has been working fine before.
The game reported an error and couldn't continue playing. Xi Hao felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and hurriedly said: "Small bugs, small bugs, these problems are inevitable during the game development process."
"Old Yu, hurry up and write down the screenshot of this bug, and hurry up to modify it later, so as not to affect the official version."
Old Yu nodded: "Hey! No problem."
Tang Yishu played with a controller, and Lao Yu took a screenshot with his keyboard and mouse while standing beside him, and quickly created a new form to record the bugs, waiting for subsequent revisions.
Then he closed the error window and restarted the game.
Tang Yishu entered the game again, this time running for 1 minute, no more bugs appeared.
Xi Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Look, it was an occasional small bug just now, it doesn't happen every time. It should be a coincidence today, there is no big problem..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the villain on the screen was beaten to death by a group of mobs, but the restart option screen did not appear, and the game flow was stuck.
Xi Hao: "This..."
This time there is no need for him to talk, Lao Yu hurriedly took screenshots, recorded, and restarted the game in one go, and the whole process did not exceed 1 minute.
Xi Hao was a little speechless: "Go ahead."
After more than half an hour, Tang Yishu finally got through the demo with a short process.
However, looking at Old Yu, there were at least fifteen items listed on the form, and a bunch of screenshots of bugs were placed on the desktop.
Xi Hao was a little ashamed and didn't dare to look Qiu Hong directly in the eyes.
This is a mess!
Originally, I wanted to show the game developed by the incubation base to Xiao Tang who came to inspect, but it turned out to be a bug display!
Fifteen bugs directly stunned Lao Yu. The severity of the bugs varies. Some directly report errors and exit the game. Some are texture errors that affect visual effects. Can continue to play.
But regardless of whether the bug is serious or not, it must be fixed.
Lao Yu originally felt good about himself, and felt that there would be no problem in showing this stable version of DEMO, but today he didn’t know why he was so memorized, and all the hidden occasional bugs were caught up!
Xi Hao said with some embarrassment: "This should be an accident, bad luck. If you look at this game again, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Xiao Zhou, turn on your game."
Xi Hao was anxious to get back the place, to prove that not all the games made by the incubation base were a mess, and there were still games that could be played.
However, Xiao Zhou scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Hao, I don't know why this game can't be opened..."
Xi Haoren fainted: "Didn't it be fine in the morning? Why can't it be opened?"
Xiao Zhou said with an innocent face: "I don't know either! I haven't changed anything!"
Xi Hao was speechless: "Hurry up and investigate!"
All of a sudden, the entire independent game incubation base was flying around.
Indie games are inherently buggy.
Because of the shortage of manpower in independent games, whether it is testing bugs or modifying bugs, it is not so timely.
However, these independent game producers are already used to it. Some experienced independent game producers will choose more mature and complete solutions to reduce the existence of some hidden bugs.
And after coming to the incubation base, the producers and the employees of the administrative department often play each other's games and find bugs for each other, so compared to before, the number of bugs is much less.
These indie game producers have always been in a state of "time is quiet and good", and feel that there are not so many bugs in their games, at least there is no major problem in running them smoothly.
As a result, everyone was severely slapped in the face today!
All kinds of weird bugs emerge one after another, all the game producers have a feeling that the house is leaking and raining at night, as if all the bad luck is concentrated today!
Wu Zhicheng was full of confidence and wanted to show "Ink and Cloud" to the leading girl who came to inspect, but he played it secretly and found a lot of bugs!
There are many bugs in it that he has never seen before. It seems that they have been lurking not long after the production of "Ink and Clouds", and they have been lurking for several versions, and they were suddenly exposed today.
A ladle of cold water was poured on Wu Zhicheng's head, and he remained silent.
What else does this show?Don't be ashamed, hurry up and fix the bug!
I no longer dare to take the hidden bug lightly, and fortunately it was exposed during the development process. If it is hidden until the game goes online, and then a vicious bug breaks out in a concentrated manner, why not be scolded to death by the players?
At that time, the game made after months of hard work will be ruined by such a bug, which is too wronged.
The atmosphere in the hatchery quickly changed from active to serious, and from serious to broken.
Numerous bugs ruthlessly pierced the fantasy of these producers, making them no longer feel good about themselves.
Xi Hao was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to show the results of the incubation base, but ended up overturning one after another.
Although this little Tang didn't seem angry, and still had a kind face, Xi Hao felt infinite pressure.
It seems that we have to pay close attention to game testing in the future, and the current level is still far from the launch!
No more games to play, Xi Hao suggested: "Why don't we sit in the rest area for a while and have a cup of coffee."
Tang Yishu nodded: "Okay."
Everyone came to the rest area and ordered a cup of coffee.
Xi Hao felt a little guilty: "I'm really sorry today, and I don't know why, the bugs have all caught up! But don't worry, our attitude in modifying the bugs is absolutely fine, these bugs will be fixed soon, and will be fixed soon. Make up your mind, test a few more times, and do everything possible to reduce the existence of bugs."
"Uh... Do you have any other questions here? I can answer them all."
Tang Yishu originally wanted to say that there was no other problem, but suddenly remembered Pei Qian's advice before leaving, and hurriedly said, "I want to ask, how is your work efficiency?"
"Work efficiency?" Xi Hao replied immediately, "Of course the work efficiency is very, very high!"
"Our administrative department has helped the producers solve their worries, so that they can concentrate on the gameplay design of the game, because it is their interest and the most creative work, so the creative enthusiasm of every game producer is fully stimulated ..."
Xi Hao finally found a place suitable for him to play, and began to talk freely.
Although his words are slightly exaggerated, there is actually no big problem. The incubation base does provide independent game producers with an environment in which they can create with peace of mind, which greatly improves their work efficiency. This is the consensus of all game producers.
Xi Hao explained his point of view in detail, and used various details to prove that the work efficiency of the incubation base is indeed very high.
He noticed that Tang Yishu was listening carefully the whole time, nodding frequently, obviously moved by what he said.
Xi Hao couldn't help feeling a little proud. After all, the work efficiency of the producers has been improved, which is due to him, the person in charge of the administrative department.
Shouldn't it be praised?
However, after listening to Xi Hao's words, Tang Yishu said: "It sounds like there seems to be a serious problem with your daily work process."
"In the future, it will be mandatory for all staff to set aside ten hours of working time a week to play games. It must be working time and cannot take up rest time after get off work."
Xi Hao: "Huh?"
He almost thought he had heard it wrong.
How could high productivity indicate a serious problem with daily workflow?
And the solution is to make it mandatory to play games during working hours?Do you still have to play ten hours a week?
Tang Yishu said this without confidence, because she was just repeating what Pei Qian said before she came.
Pei Qian said that as long as the efficiency of the incubation base is high, everyone must be forced to play games for ten hours a week.
As for why you need to play games for high work efficiency?Pei Qian didn't say this, so Tang Yishu naturally didn't know either.
Qiu Hong, who was silent at the side, suddenly raised his head: "Xiao Tang, do you think that the 'high work efficiency' described by Xi Hao is not necessarily a good thing?"
Xi Hao was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why is high work efficiency not necessarily a good thing?"
Qiu Hong explained: "If you follow conventional thinking, high work efficiency is definitely better than low work efficiency. However, in some artistic creation jobs, simply high efficiency is not necessarily a good thing."
"Game design is also a kind of artistic creation, and sometimes it is very dependent on inspiration. Many times, people's thinking will be cornered. When they are cornered, people's spirit will be highly concentrated and work efficiency will be significantly improved. But The final product is not necessarily good.”
"Take these game producers. They are very dedicated and efficient, but because of this, they may fall into a certain state of paranoia. Focus all their energy on their games , Blindly think that the current practice is the best, ignoring some better possibilities."
"And forcing everyone to play more games is to hope that everyone can get out of their own small circle while maintaining efficiency, look at the practices of other games, and learn from others' strengths, which may inspire new inspiration."
"I think Xiao Tang should mean that."
Xi Hao suddenly said: "So that's it, I understand! Then I'll start preparing to organize everyone to play games together and collect inspiration and materials!"
After hearing what Qiu Hong said, Tang Yishu couldn't help but nodded slightly.
So that's what the senior meant!
The senior is amazing, everything is anticipated and arranged in advance!
The inspection at the incubation base is over, Qiu Hong took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said to Tang Yishu: "Then let's go here first today, tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, let's go to the girl with cold noodles to have a look. "
……
……
December 12, Friday morning.
In the first store of the cold noodle girl, Meng Chang directed the staff and the cleaning aunt to perform their respective duties, cleaning the entire store including the back kitchen, and at the same time, the tables and chairs in the store were also neatly arranged.
The long-term positioning of Leng Noodle Girl is a Chinese fast food brand, and of course it also operates breakfast.
It is now 5 o'clock in the morning. Although a round of cleaning has been carried out after proofing last night, Meng Chang is still worried. He arrived early this morning and made a final inspection before opening for business to ensure that the store is kept in the best condition. .
Meng Chang didn't know about Tang Yishu's visit to the imperial capital, and the cleaning today was not for her, but for a few investors who came to investigate.
Tang Yishu and these investors met by chance.
This started when Meng Chang received another 600 million investment from Yuanmeng Venture Capital some time ago.
Because Mr. Pei requested, Meng Chang did not dare to disclose that the 600 million investment was obtained from Tengda, but Meng Chang is so shrewd, there are other ways to convey this information to investors.
Before Pei Qian decided to invest 600 million yuan, many investors had already extended an olive branch to Meng Chang.
However, Meng Chang rejected all of them, because in his opinion, these investment terms were too harsh. Either there was a VAM agreement, or the founder's shares were locked, which was very unfriendly to him.
After Meng Chang refused, these investors neither persisted nor gave up immediately. Instead, they kept an indifferent attitude and continued to observe.
They are waiting, waiting for the cold noodle girl to encounter financial problems.
Now all investors can see that Meng Chang is a founder who is keen on burning money in marketing. Even if the store of Leng Noodle Girl can turn losses into profits, it will definitely not be able to support Meng Chang's burning speed.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, because Meng Chang is good at marketing, and he has indeed forcibly instilled the "Cold Noodle Girl" brand into users by burning money.
In the eyes of many investors, this is very in line with the behavior of Internet marketing, and Meng Chang has done a good job.
Meng Chang and capital need each other.
To maintain the capital chain and popularity of Leng Noodle Girl, Meng Chang will definitely continue to find ways to raise funds; and once Leng Noodle Girl's brand is successful and its valuation skyrockets, these capitals can also get rich returns.
Therefore, these investors believed that Meng Chang's temporary refusal was just a means of bargaining.
As long as the cold noodle girl encounters financial problems, Meng Chang will naturally let go of his arrogance and accept an investment agreement including a series of terms such as gambling and share lock-up in order to continue financing.
Their plan was fine. In fact, if Yuanmeng Venture Capital did not continue to invest money, Meng Chang would really fall into this dilemma.
But Meng Chang, who has the character of a gambler, made the right bet again.
After getting the bullet from Yuanmeng Venture Capital, although he couldn't make a big show of it, Meng Chang still had a perfect chance to fight back.
He began to burn money at a faster rate, and even spent hundreds of thousands to rent venues, and started to hold personal speeches, using his excellent eloquence and business acumen to endorse the brand "Cold Noodle Girl".
On the one hand, this is to continue to expand the influence of the cold noodle girl, and on the other hand, it is also to send a very clear message to investors.
You don't invest money?Don't you think I can't get investment from other places?
Sorry, not only did I get it, but I got a lot of it!
Are you still sticking to that agreement and not retreating an inch?If you don’t invest again, if you don’t invest now, you may have no chance to invest in the future.
Seeing that the cold noodle girl was burning so much money, these investors couldn't help feeling a little flustered when Meng Chang still seemed to be planning a plan without any problems in the capital chain.
Because the company's valuation is getting higher and higher, the more capital influx, the faster it grows.
Investing one month earlier and investing one month later, because of the difference in company valuation, the actual shares that can be bought are also very different.
Therefore, now it is the turn of these investors to lose their composure, and want to investigate again and decide how much concessions they want to make in the investment agreement.
Meng Chang intends to complete his work in one battle. Today, he will try to fool these investors, continue to push up the valuation of the cold noodle girl, and prepare for the next step to find a successor.
Even someone with a big heart like Meng Chang couldn't help being a little nervous.Because if the game goes wrong today and investors continue to wait and see, the money on hand really won't last long, and there is a risk of capital chain breaking at any time.
Of course, even if there is a small problem in the capital chain, the cold noodle girl brand will not die suddenly on the spot. Meng Chang still has many ways to find money.
But in this case, the money found will be hotter and not so easy to hold.
Therefore, Meng Chang's current behavior is actually continuing to show his muscles to investors. On the one hand, he shows investors a bright future through his good eloquence and business model; Prove that you have the ability to turn a bright future into a reality.
After confirming all the details of the store like a paranoid man, Meng Chang began to review what he said to the investors today to ensure that the presentation in the morning was foolproof.
……
10 am.
Qiu Hong and Tang Yishu came to the cold noodle girl's store and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
Although it's not lunch time yet, there are still quite a few people in the Leng Noodle Girl's store. About [-]% of the seats in the store are occupied. It seems that there will definitely be a queue during the noon rush hour.
Tang Yishu looked at the environment in the store curiously, with a little confusion in her eyes.
Everything is fine, no problems.
Before coming here, Pei Qian specifically told her to pay attention to the situation of the cold noodle girl and report the truth after returning.Don't worry about not being able to understand it, you don't need to study it deliberately, just observe it based on your first impression.
But when Tang Yishu came to the store, she realized that she really didn't notice anything from her first impression.
The store is very clean and tidy, and it seems that the business is good. The waiters are not as formulaic and enthusiastic as other fast food restaurants, but they all have a faint smile and are hospitable to customers, even better than some traditional fast food brands. The service attitude is even better.
In Tang Yishu's eyes, this is just a normal restaurant that will make a lot of money.
The two ordered some signature food casually, and the food was served quickly.
Tang Yishu was worried while eating, because she really didn't feel any major shortcomings or problems in this store.
Of course, it’s not perfect. After all, it’s a fast food brand, so you can’t expect too much in terms of taste, but it’s definitely above a passing grade.
At the same time, Meng Chang was waiting for investors to arrive in another inconspicuous corner of the store.
Meng Chang appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little anxious, because the appointment was at 10 o'clock, and these investors were already a few minutes late.
Suddenly, Meng Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and walked towards the door.
Not long after, Meng Chang and several investors walked into the store talking and laughing.
"Mr. Meng, I'm really sorry. There is a bit of traffic jam on the road. I'm a few minutes late, so I kept you waiting."
"It's okay, it's okay, those who are willing to come to my small shop are rewarded, please don't be polite."
Meng Chang acted calm and calm, and everything was under control. After a simple greeting, he began to explain the situation of the cold noodle girl to everyone.
Including the results of the recent marketing plan of the cold noodle girl, the preparation of the new store, the feedback of the new meal, the various service details of the store, etc.
The brand of Cold Noodle Girl is also constantly developing, and the management mode of the store and the taste of the food are also being continuously optimized. Even if individual investors have been here some time ago, they can see obvious progress now.
After all, Meng Chang has increased the intensity of burning money. It would be unreasonable if the store remains unchanged.
Tang Yishu, who was sitting in the corner next to her, was sipping cold roasted noodles while pricking up her ears to listen to what these people were discussing.
However, Meng Chang's voice was not loud, and Tang Yishu's concentration was only intermittent, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
If you can't see anything in the cold noodle girl's shop this time, how can you give a job to the senior when you go back?
Meng Chang began to enthusiastically introduce the situation in the store to the investors.
"Recently, the decoration style of our store has been fine-tuned and some new embellishments have been added. The main purpose is to create an atmosphere and atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity. You see, here is a traditional Chinese style element, with Posters with a bit of literary flavor are all part of the cultural heritage of the brand of Leng Noodle Girl."
"Mixing and matching a variety of styles makes customers' dining environment unique. These design styles become materials that customers are willing to share on Weibo or social circles, which makes customers become our free publicists."
"These details are also reflected in all aspects. For example, our dining table and chairs are all specially customized by the factory. They are also between trendy and nostalgic, and they are both beautiful and practical. In theory, there will be no problems in ten years... "
Meng Chang was playing with the swivel chair while introducing it, but suddenly heard a soft "creak" sound, and the swivel chair got stuck.
Meng Chang: "?"
He thought it was the wrong way of turning himself, so he tried to turn it forward and then reversed, only to find that it was indeed stuck, and it didn't move at all!
The scene was a bit embarrassing.
Meng Chang was puzzled, what's going on?
What he said was not a lie, these tables and chairs were indeed custom-made, there was no cutting corners at all, and the materials were very solid, theoretically speaking, there would be no problem in using them for a few years.
But something went wrong!
Although it wasn't a big problem, it was just that the rotating shaft of the dining chair got stuck for unknown reasons and couldn't continue to rotate, but the feeling of being slapped in the face on the spot still made Meng Chang very embarrassed.
Although the investors were very face-saving and didn't say anything, Meng Chang knew that these investors must have some thoughts in their hearts.The accumulation of these small flaws will affect investors' evaluation of the cold-faced girl, and the investment agreement they can get will be more stringent.
However, Meng Chang has a strong psychological quality after all, and this small episode is not enough to make him lose his footing. He said with a smile: "It seems that there are still some minor problems in the quality control of this furniture factory. It’s not a bad thing to correct it early.”
"We will definitely ask them to strengthen quality control in the future."
"In addition to the dining environment, our waiter recruitment and cultural construction are also different from other catering brands..."
Meng Chang quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue to entangle this matter to impress investors.
However, while talking, I saw a customer stood up impatiently, came to the front desk and said, "Why is my fried cold noodles still not ready? Didn't you promise that the meal will be ready in 15 minutes? It takes 10 minutes Already!"
The girl at the front desk said very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to rush the kitchen."
The customers returned to their seats a little speechlessly.
Investors have obviously noticed that some subtle changes have taken place in their expressions.
Meng Chang's heart skipped a beat, and he silently scolded these people in the back kitchen a hundred times.
Isn't it always good?And just this early in the morning, I have just made repeated orders to ensure the speed of meal delivery, so why are you making trouble for me at this time!
This is it!
But he is also very clear that he can't be entangled with this now, the more entangled, the bigger the flaw.So just pretend nothing happened, and explain to the investors in a spirited manner.
But within half a minute of speaking, something happened again.
A tall and burly man seemed impatient to wait, and said from his seat, "Why haven't the side dishes I ordered been served yet? The noodles are almost finished! Aren't your side dishes cold dishes? Why, you just started growing them now." ?”
A waiter hurried over and comforted him in a low voice.
The corner of Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly. It was impossible to ignore it this time. One time could be said to be accidental, but what about two times?
You must know that the self-positioning of Leng Noodle Girl is a fast food brand, and the requirement is that the meal must be served within 15 minutes, the sooner the better. Now there is a problem with the meal delivery time, and the impression left to investors is that the management of the back kitchen is chaotic. Maybe It will directly affect the brand building and reputation of the cold noodle girl.
What's more, it's not yet the peak time for lunch, and the slow serving of meals should never happen.
This must be fooled.
Meng Chang adjusted his mentality, but still maintained his demeanor: "Sorry, there seems to be a small problem in the back kitchen, please wait a moment, I will deal with it."
Meng Chang walked quickly to the back kitchen, and whispered angrily, "What's the matter! Why is the food served so slowly today!"
The waiters were busy, and when they saw Meng Chang coming, they hurriedly explained: "Mr. Meng! I don't know what happened today. I was a little unlucky. I accidentally fried a pot of fried noodles just now, and when the dishes were served, I didn't know what to do." Be careful when you fall, the side dish is missing..."
Meng Chang was so angry that his teeth were itching, it was not good to make a fuss, it had to be at this juncture!
But it was already like this, and Meng Chang had no good solution, he could only curse a few words, telling them to hurry up and eat.
After Meng Chang left the back kitchen, he regained that calm expression again.
He came to the center of the store and clapped his hands lightly: "I'm very sorry, customers, there was a little bit of trouble in the back kitchen today. But don't worry, everyone, I hereby assure you that there will be no complaints within 15 minutes today. We will give you a full free order for those who eat out!"
At this time, the only way to extinguish the anger of customers is to throw coins wildly.
If there is a problem, it must be solved quickly and actively. These investors are still staring at it. If the problem is not solved in time, the points will be doubled.
Hearing that the order will be waived, the anxiously waiting customers finally calmed down.
Qiu Hong was a little puzzled, and whispered: "Hey, the food was served quite quickly when we came. Is there something wrong with their back kitchen?"
Tang Yishu continued to sip the roasted cold noodles, pretending not to hear.
I still remember the first time I went to the family banquet in Ming Mansion, even Mr. Li's high-end restaurant was recruited, and the back kitchen had a lot of problems.
Leng Noodle Girl is an ordinary fast food restaurant, and the kitchen is definitely not as good as the family banquet in Mingfu, how can it stand up to it.
Tang Yishu is a little guilty, she came here for an unannounced visit today, but looking at the current situation, she is a little worried that she might accidentally spoil the matter of the senior, right?
Tang Yishu took out a tissue and wiped her mouth: "President Qiu, let's go."
Qiu Hong was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Don't you want to look again?"
Tang Yishu shook her head: "I won't watch it."
She knew that the cold noodle girl was invested by Pei Qian. If she sat here again, the situation in the back kitchen would continue, and the consequences would be disastrous.
It's better to leave as soon as possible before causing more harm.
Qiu Hong didn't say much, after all, Tang Yishu was the one who came to make an unannounced visit, and he was only responsible for accompanying him.The two got up and left.
On Meng Chang's side, he continued to explain to the investors, but he could clearly feel that the investors' eyes were no longer as interested as they were at the beginning.
There is no way, today's sudden situation is too hurtful, and many investors who were originally excited have returned to the wait-and-see state again.
"Okay, Mr. Meng, let's go here first today. We'll discuss the investment when we go back. We'll give you an answer in two days."
The investors are still very polite, but the attitude in the conversation obviously has some subtle changes from when they first came.
Meng Chang knew it well, but there was nothing he could do. He could only bite the bullet and continue to pretend that he didn't care, and sent these investors away with a smile.
Back to the cold noodle girl, Meng Chang sighed silently, found an empty seat and sat down to sulk.
The waiter walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Meng! The kitchen is no longer a problem, and those customers who were delayed have been given free orders. The meal delivery time during the lunch peak period can definitely be guaranteed!"
Meng Chang glanced at her angrily, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tired.
