Chapter 199 Problem! 【Please customize![-] in [-]! 】

Eight people gathered together and entered No. 24 Anfeng Street without attracting the attention of the surroundings.

Jiang Hong was the last one to enter.

Before entering the door, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of number 25.

No abnormality was found.

Then he followed in and closed the door behind him.

It's not that he doesn't trust Yuan Xi, it's just that he avoids a real conflict...

In Jiang Hong's heart, he naturally hoped that things would develop in a very smooth direction.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone first familiarized themselves with the environment and environment.

They introduced themselves to each other, and confirmed what each of them needed to do according to the division of labor in advance.

Although it was a total of eight of them who combined this "private money game group", after all, Jiang, Fu, Chen, and Sun took the lead in this matter.

The other four people are not very familiar with each other, not even their four core leaders are fully familiar with each other.

So the current working model is...

The four core people discuss together and confirm the general direction of the overall work, while the other four are mainly busy with work and do not participate in key discussions.

Avoid any conflict of ideas between each other.

The leaders are the four Jiang Hong brothers, so the development, direction, and what to do of the entire private money game group are all discussed by the four of them.

The following is a one-to-one correspondence.

Jiang Hong conveyed the results of the discussion to Xu He, mainly taking care of Xu He, and doing everything he and Xu He needed to do.

Fu Jiahai and Chen Ming directly communicated with Cui Feng and Shen Ran.

Sun Tao corresponds to Wang Peng.

Therefore, after entering the door, introduce each other and get familiar with them.

The four Jiang Hong brothers went up to the third floor first, and found a relatively spacious empty room as a conference room.

Conduct more detailed communication on issues related to "private money games".

The other four walked around the building casually.

You can also go in and out to buy some food, drink, daily necessities and the like.

As long as it doesn't reveal what they are going to do, the rest can move around completely freely.

Everyone knows the secrets of the money game.

I will keep my mouth shut as much as possible.

Don't worry too much.

Cui Feng, Shen Ran, and Wang Peng all came from the imperial capital, and they didn't bring their family members with them this time, nor did they find an extra excuse to come here like Fu Jiahai, Chen Ming, and Sun Tao did. of.

No need to look for a place to live.

So they can live in the building directly, daily necessities and so on still need to be prepared in advance, and which room they live in, they also need to choose simply.

Anyway, there are a lot of rooms on the 24th.

The layout is also quite good, and it doesn't hurt to choose that room.

Xu He didn't have any troubles in life, and he didn't need to think about it at all, so he just opened a second-hand computer that was just moved in, which was a little bit old, and started typing copywriting.

Copy the copywriting in your head about this private money game.

Not long after, the three people who had chosen the room returned to the room where Xu He was.

Cui Feng pushed the frame of his glasses, found a box of playing cards from nowhere, and said hello, "Brothers, we will work together in the future, playing cards is undoubtedly the best way to get acquainted with each other, come here Come, let's play together? Anyway, it's nothing serious now."

"Brother who knocks on the computer?" Shen Ran greeted Xu He cheerfully, "Play two hands of cards together. If you are busy with work, don't be in a hurry. Let's talk about the division of labor after they come down, how about it?"

Xu He originally wanted to refuse, but after all, what they said was right, they would all carry out "secret work" together in the future, and it was not good to look too out of place.

After all, it is better to get to know each other better.

So he closed the file, leaned over, and the four of them played stare together.

With slightly blackened hands, Wang Peng took out a box of spires in his trouser pocket, and gestured to a few people. Except for Xu He, a quitter, the other three were all experienced smokers. fire.

Xu He thought for a while, then ran to the window and opened it.

"Brothers, have you all brought extra clothes? Can you lend me a set? My wife can't smell the smoke, so it's not good for my wife to just go back wearing clothes full of smoke... Also, it’s hard to explain.”

The little fat man stood up with a deep smile, "Come with me, I have extra clothes. They are both married men, so I can understand~ Hehe, I feel that we two married men have more topics to talk about, let them a bachelor and stay away."

While greeting Xu He, he said, "I still have a freshener that can cover up the smell of smoke. You spray some when you leave, so your wife won't be able to smell it."

Xu He was sweating wildly, my good guy, this is really skillful!

Is this the status quo of married men?

"Then... are there any fresh breath ones? Once you smoke them, I'm going to want to smoke them too. I won't be found if I take two of them back, right?"

"Fresh breath? My wife didn't come with me this time, so I forgot to bring it with me. I really don't have any, but I can recommend a few brands to you, or I can go to a nearby supermarket to buy you two bottles in two days. When you come over in the future, you can smoke as you wish.”

Shen Ran said with a smile again. "You can't be free at home, and you must enjoy life when you go out."

……

Downstairs started smoking and playing cards.

The atmosphere upstairs is also very lively.

Four people sit in a circle around a wooden square table.

Sun Tao stretched his waist, and lay down on the table, breathing heavily.

"Oh, I'm exhausted. I've been exhausted these two days. It's really troublesome to wander around the world with An'an and go to other companies for research."

The three of Jiang Hong looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.

Fu Jiahai patted him on the head, "Who told you that you can't find a reason? If I were you, I would have ten thousand ways to make An'an come to visit Lao Jiang and his wife this time, and then turn back directly. Imperial capital."

"It can only be said that your brain is a mess, you deserve it."

Chen Ming smiled and said, "But then again, the excuse you found for going out this time was to do some research in game companies and markets in several nearby provinces and cities? You also want to start a company in the future Ah, this is a very important matter, don't be careless."

"It's not a good thing to have An'an accompany you to do research this time, but at least it's not a bad thing, right? What's wrong? The research didn't go well?"

Jiang Hong didn't interrupt, but just looked at Sun Tao.

Sun Tao shook his head and sighed.

"I found out that this market research is not necessary at all. I have been in my original company for two years, and I already have a great understanding of what the industry is like."

"I don't deny that there may be some game companies in other provinces and cities that may have more innovative game ideas, but... they are always restricted by their peers."

"Restricted by your peers?" Jiang Hong asked with some doubts.

Before Sun Tao could answer, Fu Jiahai and Chen Ming looked at each other, and Old Fu explained first.

"Old Jiang, in fact, many business and professional fields have no way to go higher. It's the same thing... being restricted by peers."

"When all the peers and people in the same field around you are doing the same thing, if you don't do it, you may lose your competitiveness and be eliminated by the market."

Jiang Hong frowned subconsciously, "For example?"

Chen Ming next to him interjected, "I also like to play games, so I may have a general understanding of the current game market and game development."

"I won't talk about the overseas game market and game development. Let's talk about the domestic game. The current domestic game development... It can be said that it is a mess, a mess."

"Following the trend like the tide, turning over and over again, if a game becomes popular, it won't be long before similar game modes will appear in various ways. Those who are really willing to be original, to innovate the gameplay and core Human company, very few.”

"It boils down to ... the fear of losing competitiveness and the reluctance to increase the cost of doing business."

Sun Tao nodded approvingly and sighed at the same time.

"To put it simply, everyone is following the trend, why? Because they know that following the trend and learning from the success of others, even at the worst, they can still drink their soup."

"So this kind of trend spreads directly, and it is out of control. The cost is low, and it can make money. You can operate it a little bit, and you may even launch a few small explosions. In this case, what do you think? Think, if you are a game company, would you still be willing to be original?"

"The current development of the entire market, as well as the entire domestic game, is like this. Even if you try your best to create an original game, you are likely to face the end of being plagiarized."

"Following the trend and killing original things...it's not uncommon. In many occupations in the field of entertainment creation, this situation is too common."

Jiang Hong roughly figured out what they meant by what they said again.

"So you just keep talking, in fact, not all game companies in China are willing to follow suit and copy? Just because it will greatly save costs and increase competitiveness?"

All three nodded, and then spread their hands.

"That's the fact. The cost of originality is too high. On the contrary, the cost of following the trend is unimaginably low."

"Cost is always an aspect of competitiveness. It is an important thing that businessmen have to consider. The essence of a game company is also a commercial operation. It is to make money. No one wants to lose money and make money."

Sun Tao shook his head, "That's why I said that if I continue to do market research like this, it won't do me much good. In fact, it's just a waste of time."

"I already know... what these game companies will do. It's nothing more than a few development directions, either find an IP to buy a copyright to make a cheating game, and cut a wave of leeks; or make a flip, or It’s just using some old-fashioned gameplay to make a renovation.”

"It's even possible to make some games that rely solely on numerical values. Alas, I'm already familiar with this routine. I really feel that if I continue to conduct research like this, there will be no reference for me to start a company. Instead, it will make me Deep in the quagmire."

When he has been seeing how those cheating krypton games make money, and how those follow-up games save effort...

How else can he keep his original spirit?

No one can guarantee that if they jump into a big dye vat, they will be able to keep coming out of the mud without being stained.

It's just a beautiful fantasy.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Jiang Hong raised his head, "Old Sun, I don't think you have to be so pessimistic. In fact, if you have ideas, you can go against the wind."

"Since you have made up your mind to start a company, and you are also starting a company to stick to your goals and dreams, then why do you care what other people do? You are still young, have capital, and have the right to choose your own goals."

"Don't blindly follow the success of others. The path that suits others may not be suitable for you. So what if you follow the trend and die original? At the very least, someone knows that you are original, and you also know in your heart that you are original."

"As for whether a game can become popular all over the world and make a lot of money, I don't think you really value it, do you?"

Sun Tao nodded, let out a mouthful of turbid air, and leaned back on the back of the chair again.

"Yeah, my company should be in charge of me. I can't let these messy thoughts mess up my original development goals. So...it's pointless to continue market research."

"I will use this private money game to practice first, and then I will directly follow my game design plan and start a company. Whether it succeeds or not, I love it!"

Fu Jiahai took the palm, "Okay, this topic is over, and Mr. Sun has the same meaning... Let's talk about the private money game first. So let's get to the point."

"The eight of us are getting together now, for such a purpose - private money game, based on the game, to build an 'online forum' for more Tibetan parties to gather together and exchange experience of hiding money .”

"A 'group' that doesn't have to worry about being completely wiped out even if it is discovered by someone looking for it."

The three of them, including Jiang Hong, nodded.

"First of all, I have to ask, after our detailed consultation last time, have we completed the tasks that we each determined to complete?"

He first looked at Sun Tao, and Sun Tao nodded.

"Program, Lao Wang and I used our free time recently, and it's basically ok. In fact... To put it bluntly, this is a 'scene editor'. It just needs to fill in the text, determine the overall framework, and make some adjustments. about there."

"However, we are not too professional. Some things, such as iu and art, are all learned by ourselves as much as possible, and then imported from some resources and material libraries downloaded from the Internet."

"On the whole, it's actually like a piece together, not very professional, but it can basically achieve what we wanted to achieve before."

Chen Ming also said, "Lao Fu and I have already prepared all the hardware that needs to be prepared in advance. The computers, servers, and other hardware are all second-hand, but this should be enough. "

"After all, we have said a long time ago that this game is impossible to be put on the shelves, and it can only be spread among some specific groups of people, so the demand for hardware is actually not that important."

"This is also to save costs. It was agreed at the beginning that during the process of this project, all the funds will be shared by the four of us. When the time comes, how much money each of us spent will be pooled together, and whoever has it will make up for it. .”

Fu Jiahai subconsciously looked around the room, then looked at Jiang Hong.

"Old Jiang, we are asking you to find a base to be responsible for responding and to find us a place to do business. I didn't expect you to rent such a large space, let alone the eight of us, even if it is more It’s doubled, and it’s estimated that I can live there.”

"This place doesn't cost less money for the rent, right? Remember to write down the cost at that time, and the four of us will share it together. You are currently in the early stages of opening a store, and you are short of money. How can you manage to rent it?"

Jiang Hong nodded silently and didn't say much.

Chen Ming thought for a while, then continued.

"In addition, the follow-up manpower problems also need to be borne by the four of us. Shen Ran on my side came here voluntarily to work for free. After all, he is also a married man and needs to learn how to hide private money. At home... ...is also a master who is not short of money, so don't worry about the source of income."

"But Siyan's situation is quite miserable. He has no job and no partner, and has a certain living burden, so we have to pay him a salary. What Lao Fu and I told him at the beginning was [-] a month."

"He is a skilled technician. He can handle a lot of professional work that we can't do. Generally... in terms of computers, there is nothing he doesn't understand. It is worth the money spent."

Sun Tao also went on to say, "Old Wang is also in the same situation. He needs a source of income, so he can give it at [-] a month. Lao Wang is a relatively professional game planner and can program. His level in the game field is still sufficient."

Fu Jiahai stood up and made a summary, "So, I have said a lot... The main point is actually one, so far, as long as our private money game group operates for one day, it is losing one day's money."

"In the initial stage, we were basically generating electricity for love, and we were all raising money. Then the problem came, couldn't all the money put in be used as tuition fees? We also have to have some corresponding source of income, right?"

"Originally, our private money is already very rare, and most of it has been 'confiscated and handed over'. If we are still spending money in this regard, none of us are local tyrants, so we have to find a way."

"You mean... to consider the return of income in terms of the game's payment model?" Jiang Hong understood what he meant and asked in reverse.

Both Fu Jiahai and Chen Ming nodded, obviously they had discussed this issue once in private.

"This private money game must be paid, and because this game cannot be released, its user base is doomed to be very limited, so we have to consider... charging more for everyone."

Sun Tao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I think, instead of thinking about this first, we should first think about how we should spread this game, if it can't be put on the shelves... How can we attract more users? group?"

"What kind of method should we use to block all the seeking parties as much as possible, and only absorb the hiding party to join the game group?"

"This is the biggest problem. Whether to pay or not, and how to charge, these are all things that need to be considered later. What needs to be considered in the early stage is the user problem, the user."

Jiang Hong, who hadn't spoken much from the beginning to the end, held his chin and thought for a while, and then said, "We have two fundamental purposes for creating this game. First, we need to learn more tips and tricks for hiding money ;Second, we don't want to expose ourselves to prevent being taken over at a critical moment."

"This means that in the process of expanding the user base, we must ensure that the rules of the upper and lower order are more stringent, and we must ensure that these attracted users cannot know who the main producers of our games are."

"We must first ensure that we are not exposed. At the same time, we must try our best to ensure that the user is controlled by the money hider...and will not be discovered by the seeker."

"If it is discovered by someone looking for it, it will mean a huge disaster."

They, as well as all money hiders, can learn a lot of money hiding methods and find more money hiding spots through this game.

Then... It is natural for the party looking for it, and can learn more ways to find money through this game.

It's mutual.

So in any case, this game must be done as far as possible, not to be discovered by the money seekers who are looking for one side, otherwise, some male compatriots will definitely suffer.

"This, after all, is a relatively difficult matter. It requires careful thinking before making a decision. Otherwise, even the game will not be promoted, the audience will not be found, and the money hoarder will not be identified."

"We are equivalent to standing still..."

The three of Fu Jiahai were silent at the same time, apparently thinking about how to promote the game.

Sun Tao shook his head again and again, "Oh, it's really hard for me to think about this kind of thing... I don't have the brains that you guys use to make quick turns in this area, okay?"

"Why don't you think about it, the three of you, I guess they've played cards downstairs, and I'll play a few cards with you!"

Fu Jiahai looked speechless, glanced at him, and said, "Whether there is an audience or not, we have to make the game first. Since you can't think of a way, then you can make the game."

"We are thinking of a way here. You are specialized in making games, so you go and help downstairs together. The main goal is to release the game first."

"I'll let you know when we figure out how to promote it."

Sun Tao seemed to be relieved, and nodded repeatedly.

"With a few teammates like you, it's reliable. Then I really don't care, I'm going to focus on making the game, and see if I can get the game out in the shortest possible time."

After Sun Tao left.

The three people in the room asked, "How to ensure that all game users are hiding money while promoting the game?" "How to ensure that during the game promotion process, they do not participate in it at all and completely avoid their identities." What about exposure?" These questions fell into thinking.

This is really a serious problem.

　This chapter is six thousand.

　　The outstanding draft has not changed.

　　The follow-up of the plot is basically on the right track.

　　The beginning of the second volume is not as satisfying as the previous first volume and the opening chapter.

　　After all, it is a real daily text, and these plots are a little bit out of reality. I have been thinking about how to be close to the real daily life and express the plot at the same time.

　　But I feel that no matter how I write it, it lacks a sense of substitution compared with the opening chapter and the first volume.

　　Because the opening chapter and the first volume are completely simple daily life.

　　And the follow-up plot, it comes from reality and is higher than reality.

　　But generally speaking, it's okay, and the plot can still be controlled.

　　The progress of the rhythm and the tone of the writing can still be maintained, but the plot is definitely no longer the usual routine of eating, sleeping, chatting and drinking.

　　Subsequent plots will become tense and relatively accelerated.

　　If you only like complete daily life, in fact, seeing the end of the first volume is considered a complete story.

　　The following plot may not be able to attract readers who want to eat dog food and watch everyday.

　　Of course, there will also be dog food and daily life, but it will not be as many as the previous 70 million words.

　　In fact, starting from the second volume, the story of the "private money game" that I want to write is just the beginning, the real beginning.

　　I've been a little busy these two days, and I always go out, and I will pay back the draft when I have time.

　　good night.
