September 3, Pengcheng.

Motan Studio, a subsidiary of Tencent Group.

Wei Hong, who has recently been promoted to the position of mobile game project planner based on his experience in developing two mobile games, is browsing the latest game industry news in his office.

Among them, what attracted his most attention was not the domestic game news, but the latest news from several game media with foreign sections.

Over the years, under the influence of his work experience at Motan Studio and the working atmosphere formed by his colleagues and superiors, Wei Hong gradually realized the backwardness of the domestic game industry from the initial daze.

Especially within Tencent, they really spare no effort to represent and learn from foreign games.

Among them, the game from a certain Kimchi country has naturally had the greatest influence, followed by Sakura Country and Lao Mei.

Several chief planners in the studio usually look at what new games have been released abroad to see if they have the potential to get domestic agents, or if there is time, are there any opportunities to learn from and develop a similar game themselves to seize the domestic market in advance?

market.

As a newly appointed mobile game planner, Wei Hong used to have various ideas and thoughts that he thought were interesting, but compared with those games with successful foreign experience, these things he came up with lacked data and

With theoretical support, it is difficult to get approval at seminars and get funding for development projects.

So Wei Hong could only follow the trend with peace of mind and developed the habit of browsing foreign game information.

It's just that there are too many people watching the games in the Kimchi Country in the studio, so he usually focuses on games from the United States.

And today, he suddenly discovered that another game like this had been featured in the information sections of several well-known game media.

[Another mobile game hit in the United States? Fruit Assassin has taken North America by storm!]

[It topped the new game sales list in a week, and its total sales surpassed the two major IP-adapted mobile games. What is the charm? 】

[Only half a month after it was launched, Fruit Assassin’s sales reached one million!]

[Shocking! The creative team behind this popular mobile game in North America is actually from China?!]

[Reaping millions of profits in half a month, another billion-dollar mobile game is about to be born? 】

Wei Hong flipped through the latest reports from these game media and gradually had a clearer impression of the game Fruit Assassin.

Checking the time, there was still about half an hour before today's seminar, so Wei Hong took out his Pineapple phone, logged into the US account, and downloaded a Fruit Assassin.

Soon, more than half an hour later, Wei Hong took a freshly released PPT and planning plan and said at the seminar:

"I have a new project here. The estimated research and development cost will not exceed 50,000 yuan, but it has huge potential. It is strongly recommended to develop it as soon as possible to occupy the domestic market."

Listening to Wei Hong's introduction, everyone else's eyes suddenly lit up and they all nodded secretly when they heard the results of the Fruit Assassin game, the difficulty of its development, and the fact that the team behind it was just a small and unknown team in China.

"It's feasible. We'll allocate 100,000 yuan first. Wei Hong, you'll be in charge. I'll handle the publicity and distribution matters with other departments." The chief planner of Motan Studio nodded to Kang Yu and said, "You go down first and make the planning plan in more detail.

Give you a team to follow up early.”

After finalizing the preliminary plan, Wei Hong felt relieved and confirmed that he could get the project funds. He was in a very happy mood.

The chief planner Xiang Kangyu didn't take this seriously, and turned around and continued discussing other projects with everyone.

…

[Abin]: Hahaha! Have you read the URL I sent you?

[A Bin]: They are all praising our game!

[A Bin]: I feel like if this continues, Fruit Assassin will really become the light of domestic mobile games.

During lunch, Xu Xing was bombarded by Li Zhibin.

If the previous impact on Li Zhibin was only in terms of money, then the positive reports about Fruit Assassin that have been published by major game media today are all about the indescribable sense of pride and elation after being praised.

[Yicai Yanyu]: I suggest you keep up your strong self-searching behavior.

[A Bin]: Aren’t you excited? And aren’t our Fruit Assassins going to enter the domestic market soon? This is good publicity, right?

[Yicao Yanyu]: We do need media publicity, but when the media promotes us, they themselves are taking advantage of our popularity abroad and just get what they need.

[Yicao Yanyu]: And these things you sent are just game media. Mobile games are already at the bottom of the contempt chain in the game field. The traffic of game media can only be said to be tasteless and a pity to abandon.

Bar.

[A Bin]: I see you are becoming more and more arrogant...

[Yicao Yanyu]: Even if you earn tens of millions a month, you are still arrogant (squinting)

【A Bin】: Okay, okay, I am asking for trouble.

It can be seen that Li Zhibin is becoming more and more adaptable to the current situation.

After a week of continuous bombing last month, and the explosive growth of Fruit Assassin at the beginning of the month, even if the sales of Fruit Assassin now exceed 10 million, Li Zhibin will probably not be as excited as before.

It's just that before it was just profit, but today these gaming media articles represent fame.

Fame and wealth have always complemented each other, and Li Zhibin, a young man who has just started his freshman year, naturally cannot escape the temptation of these two things.

However, at present, under Xu Xing's intentional guidance, these influences are quite positive and have not had any adverse effects on Li Zhibin's growth.

[Yicao Yanyu]: The investment company you registered there can take your time, but you can prepare some things first. I will send you a document and you can digest it slowly.

By this time, Xu Xing had already finished his meal and returned to his dormitory, opened his Pineapple computer and sent an investment plan to Li Zhibin.

There are about a dozen different fields listed above, and each field probably has one or two corresponding start-ups or teams.

Among them, there are apps such as Daily Toutiao, Didi Haixi, Zhihu, Kushou and others.

The information Xu Xing could find online was limited, and due to changes in the world line, he could not easily directly find the unicorns corresponding to his previous life.

So he changed his strategy and started from the industrial field first, then searched for corresponding companies, and then dug out these guys one by one.

Most of these companies are still in the start-up stage, and they are burning their own money. Some have only developed prototypes of their products, and some have already launched product applications, but are still looking for financing while seizing the market.

.

Regardless of how heroic and heroic these companies were in their previous lives, in this period, they have not yet grown up and are just a small group of entrepreneurs seeking financing among many products.

Xu Xing is obsessed with finding out the companies behind these products rather than doing it himself. The reason is actually very simple.

First, he is just a reborn person, not a god. It is impossible for him to allocate his energy to personally control the simultaneous advancement of so many fields. He still understands this truth because he is biting off more than he can chew.

Second, professional things need to be done by professional people. The ability of these companies to break through in the past life is certainly related to various luck and chance, but the founder's compatibility with them and their own abilities are also indispensable.

Huan, Xu Xing can't just find another person to do this.

Third, although Xu Xing is rich now, compared to these big money-burners, the current size of the company is still a drop in the bucket. It would be good to be able to cut off the angel wheel. If you really want to do it yourself, you will have to rely on financing in the end.

It's better to rely on the angel wheel to occupy a position first, and talk about the rest later.

Xu Xing's goal is very clear. The investment company handed over to Li Zhibin is not a company that needs to develop and operate its own products. It only needs to plant some nails in various fields according to Xu Xing's needs and make some foreshadowing in advance.

At the same time, this is also a process of accumulating information and connections. Compared with the few shares obtained through investment, this part of the resources will also be a big gain.

"Huh..." Xu Xing, who was thinking about this in his mind, leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

It’s really magical to think about a freshman who is just a freshman sitting in his dormitory controlling the flow of tens of millions of funds and planning investment projects one after another.

And just when Xu Xing was about to relax his mind, his small QQ account suddenly received a message from Xu Niannian.

[Nian Nian]: Sister Junjiu, I have also completed the art resources for the domestic version and have sent them to you. Remember to check them.

[Jun Jiuer]: Well, I understand, thank you.

Originally, Xu Xing thought that it would be enough to deal with it as usual, but unexpectedly, Xu Niannian sent another message to probe and ask.

[Nian Nian]: Well, Sister Junjiu, I want to ask a question.

[Nian Nian]: Is your studio still recruiting artists?

[Nian Nian]: I am in my third year of college this year and I have very few courses. I can definitely go out to work on weekdays, so I would like to ask, does your studio have any plans to recruit people recently?

Seeing Xu Niannian's question, Xu Xing suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Xu Niannian had talked about this matter with Yu Youjia when we went to have barbecue together before. Xu Xing was also present at the time, so he was mentally prepared in advance.

But when it came to this moment, Xu Xing was still a little hesitant.

However, thinking that he had been having sex with his sister in vain for so long, and that it was time for a showdown, Xu Xing still made up his mind.

After all, a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan seems shabby when you talk about it. Since the studio is no longer short of money, there is no need to continue to exploit Xu Niannian.

So Xu Xing replied.

[Jun Jiuer]: The studio does have a recruitment plan recently. If you have ideas, prepare a resume and send it to me. I will help you pass the internal preliminary screening. You can just come to the studio directly for an interview.

[Nian Nian]: Really? Thank you Sister Junjiu!

[Nian Nian]: I will send my resume to you in the afternoon~

[Jun Jiu'er]: Well, the interview is this weekend. I'm not the interviewer, so I can't give you a definite answer. But with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the interview.

[Nian Nian]: Okay! I will work hard!

Seeing Xu Niannian's energetic reply, Xu Xing laughed a little.

I hope that when my sister comes to Tianshu Studio for an interview, the moment she walks into the office and sees me, her outlook on life will not be shattered and she can still maintain this optimistic and positive attitude...

Thinking of this, Xu Xing touched his head and body, wondering if he should buy plate armor and a steel helmet in advance to avoid risking his life.

Otherwise, when Xu Niannian is choked and scissored, he might bite her in anger, and he really won't be able to withstand it.
To be continued...
