Chapter 731 Indie Game Incubation Base

At this time, Pei Qian was having dinner at the Ming Mansion and eating with all the club owners of the GPL League.

Including the H4 club, the owners who originally had league places were all present, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, which was very lively.

After the auction ended before, Lin Chang, Li Shi and others had already gone to the nameless restaurant for a meal, but Pei Qian didn't go that time, so he made an excuse to shirk it, and Zhang Yuan went to receive it.

The main thing is the fear of being hurt twice.

As for today's meal, I really can't put it off.

Pei Qian thought about how he had to meet with these bosses and get to know each other, and at the same time, he had to clearly tell everyone the rules of the GPL.

Moreover, four days have passed since the previous auction, and the possibility of being scarred again is very low, and the main topic will still focus on the GPL rules, which is a good time to meet.

This is a restaurant opened by Li Shi and Xue Zhebin together, although the dishes are worse than the nameless restaurant, but the place is relatively large, and they can be chartered by their own people, and they will be more free.

Now that the rules of the GPL have been announced, the bosses are chatting while having dinner and discussing the rules of the GPL, and it is a happy scene.

Li Shi looked at the GPL rules sent by Mr. Pei, and discussed the terms with Xue Zhebin, who was sitting next to him.

"Look, I said it a long time ago."

"When others collect money, they make money for themselves; But Mr. Pei collected the money, which must be for a longer-term goal. ”

"You see, Mr. Pei collected the money from us to buy places, which was actually divided into three parts: building a youth training base for the club, supporting the development of GDL and Internet café competitions, and maintaining the normal operation of the GPL league."

"If it were a normal organizer, it would definitely take out some of the money for the operation of the GPL league, and the rest of the money would be kicked in their pockets."

"Of course, it is understandable that the organizers of other people make money by selling quotas with their ability, but this kind of behavior is too short-sighted to evaluate objectively!"

"On the other hand, Mr. Pei took the club's money and threw it all into the league to support the underlying structure of the entire league."

"Those talented players can play the ladder first, then start from the Internet café, and then go to the GDL or go to the youth teams of various clubs...... Every step can be taken very solidly. ”

"And the standard contract also allows them not to worry about being pitted, and their talents will not be buried."

"Once such a system is established, it can continuously pump blood to the GPL league, which is perfect!"

Xue Zhebin nodded frequently when he heard this: "Indeed." ”

"But Mr. Li, the money is spent in these places, what about the league publicity? What about the club's financial investment? These two pieces may be lacking, right? ”

"Although the league system is important in the long run, we can't ignore the most pressing issues at hand!"

Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is the gap between ordinary people and Mr. Pei's thinking." ”

"The first level of thinking: sell places to make money and enrich your pockets."

"The second level of thinking: I see that Mr. Pei uses this money to seek long-term benefits."

"The third level of thinking: see both long-term and immediate benefits."

"But Mr. Pei is even higher than this, because he knows very well that long-term interests must be achieved with money, and immediate interests can actually be achieved without money!"

"Therefore, Mr. Pei did not ignore the most urgent problem in front of him, but prepared another set of solutions."

Xue Zhebin was a little dazed: "Really? However, how can you solve it if you don't have money? ”

The GPL league needs to be promoted, and the club's infrastructure needs to be built.

Li Shi explained: "Mr. Pei has more than just money, but also other resources, such as word of mouth, trust and attention!" ”

"The long-term benefits of the GPL league cannot be guaranteed with these things. For example, if you want to support GDL and youth training, it is useless to pay attention, no one will spend money to do this, so Mr. Pei can only pay for it himself. ”

"But the immediate benefits of the GPL league can be monetized by word of mouth, trust and attention!"

"The so-called immediate benefits are nothing more than the initial heat, attention, and club building of the GPL League."

"Now look at these people here, what kind of combination is it?"

"There are veteran clubs in China, meritorious veterans of the first GOG World Finals, nationally renowned large enterprises such as Shenhua Real Estate and Jinding Group, and ordinary participants like us, although their money and fame are not very outstanding, but they fully support and cooperate with Mr. Pei."

"There is no need for publicity at all, just publishing this list is enough to offset tens of millions of publicity funds!"

"In other words, the GPL league was already popular before it started, so what if there was more publicity and less publicity?"

"What's more, the turmoil between Mr. Pei and those three clubs has lasted for more than half a month, which on the one hand has made the popularity of the GPL league continue to rise, and on the other hand, it has also sent a very clear signal to the outside world."

"The audience trusts Mr. Pei, but those capitals don't necessarily trust. Many people believe that Pei can always make a good game, but they don't trust him to run a good league. ”

"And through this incident, Mr. Pei has proved with an extremely iron fist that he has absolute control over the GPL!"

"The three clubs just kick and the rest of the clubs are all unconditionally cooperative. At the same time, Mr. Pei does not do a downgrade system, and throws a lot of money into the bottom training system, in fact, it is to give a clear signal: GPL is to be long-term! ”

"With multiple signals combined, sponsors don't worry about their money going down the drain, and will naturally pay for clubs and GPL leagues."

"This is Mr. Pei's cleverness: on the surface, he is spending money for long-term interests, but in fact he is spreading a signal, and this signal has won more money, and even short-term problems have been solved."

"Rookies only make choices, and the choice of masters is all wanted!"

"If you don't believe it, we'll wait and see, and it won't be long before sponsors come to the door."

Li Shi had already drunk some wine before, and he was three points drunk, and his face was slightly red at this time, and he was very satisfied with his analysis.

"I see!" Xue Zhebin was stunned and tried to digest it.

And Pei Qian was eating vegetables at this time.

Everyone was talking, either talking or bowing their heads and whispering, and these voices sounded to Pei Qian, which made Pei Qian full of uneasiness.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket shook, and it was Qiu Hong calling.

Pei Qian knew that there must be something more important, and he just wanted to go out to take a breath, so he immediately got up and went outside to answer the phone.

……

Coming to a relatively quiet corner outside, Pei Qian picked up the phone.

On the phone, Qiu Hong briefly introduced the situation on Wu Zhicheng's side.

"Mr. Pei, this is probably the case."

"My thinking is that the most important issue right now is not money. While indie game makers are also short of money, they are also short of other things. ”

"Especially for all kinds of supporting facilities, this aspect of the investment is large, slow to achieve results, is a difficult problem to solve."

"So, for a situation like Wu Zhicheng, I'm a little unsure of what to do."

"I've decided to invest money in him, but I haven't figured out how to do it."

"If I just give money, this project can still be completed, but I always feel that something is missing."

"Mr. Pei, on this point, I have a not-so-mature idea, about the basic supporting facilities."

Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes lit up instantly.

The investment in basic supporting facilities is large and the effect is slow?

What a good thing!

For indie game makers, as long as they have money, they can make games, and it doesn't really matter whether the working environment is good or bad.

A lot of indie game makers make good work in a messy environment.

Since it doesn't matter much, why not arrange a better environment for them?

This should be a typical high-input, low-output, right?

Isn't that what I like best?

Pei Qian immediately said: "Just tell me directly, how much money does your immature idea need." ”

Hearing that Mr. Pei was so straightforward, Qiu Hong hesitated: "Uh...... Mr. Pei, my thoughts are like this. ”

"In big cities such as the imperial capital, the magic capital, and Yangcheng, each of them will open an incubation base similar to the 'co-working space'. Of course, Jingzhou can also be opened. ”

"In a similar start-up base, we recruit administrative, financial and other employees in a unified manner, and the job of these people is to serve every independent game producer and help them solve a series of problems other than game development."

"At the same time, you can also guide them in their work, such as simply teaching them how to make development plans, contact artists, make financial statements, and so on."

"Game producers can also get to know each other and communicate with each other."

"For an incubation base like this, the daily water and electricity, employee salaries, rent, etc. add up, at least two or three hundred thousand yuan per month, and the specific expenses depend on the number of workstations, location and other factors."

Pei Qian frowned: "Two or three hundred thousand? This is not at all in line with the spirit of Tengda! ”

"Are you just counting the rent for the workstation, the employee's base company, and the utility bill?"

"Office computers don't count, do they? Employee benefits don't count, right? It's not too much for an indie game developer to work so hard to give people a little guaranteed income to support their daily lives, right? ”

"The hatchery base is a good thing, open!"

"The Poor Road Plan is still going on as usual, and those companies should support how they should support it. As for the hatching base, I will allocate additional money to you, and the flowers are open! ”

Pei Qian is very happy, Qiu Hong is really capable, and he thought of a new way to spend money for me so quickly!

……

Qiu Hong hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Mr. Pei is really a real entrepreneur who loves the game industry and can be a real-time and vigorous entrepreneur at the same time!

He was so entangled in the problem, and Mr. Pei easily made a decision, and he had a solution.

He looked at Wu Zhicheng: "Your game, the Poor Way Plan has been cast!" ”

"In addition to that, we will also provide you with office space and some necessary help, and we hope to make this game a good one."

Wu Zhicheng's mouth opened slightly, feeling that this scene seemed a little unreal.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Qiu!" Thank you so much! ”

Qiu Hong smiled with some emotion: "No, we all have to thank Mr. Pei." ”
