Seeing that Pei Qian's face was a little pale, and there was no expression of approval or relief on his face, Ma Yang suddenly felt a little bottomless in his heart.

"Brother Qian, don't you blame me for spending too much money?"

"Do you think that a small foreign company is not worth investing so much money?"

Pei Qian: "......"

Looking at Lao Ma's sincere eyes, Pei Qian was short of words for a while.

How do you say that......

It was Pei Qian who made the old horse shoot when he should have made a move, and did not hesitate;

Let Lao Ma vote for whatever he likes, it is also Pei Qian.

Playing "Divine Apocalypse" is one of Lao Ma's few hobbies, Lao Ma can't vote for "Divine Apocalypse", so he can only settle for a foreign company that makes similar games to vote, and he smashed all 20 million into it at once.

In all aspects, Lao Ma listened to Pei Qian's words.

Moreover, this seems to be a rather unreliable transaction, which is very much in line with Pei Qian's original intention.

But Pei Qian is bitter in his heart, this company's sense of déjà vu is too strong!

Is this IOI the LOL after the change?

The reason why this incident made Pei Qian feel unexpected was mainly because he had looked up similar information on the Internet last year!

According to the original memory, Riot was supposed to be founded around '06, raising $8 million in '08 and bringing in three investors.

As for the acquisition by Penguin for more than 200 million dollars, it was in 2011.

As far as memory can be remembered, LOL was launched in 2009.

It's November 2010.

It stands to reason that the $8 million financing at that time should have been completed long ago, right?

Pei Qian searched for similar news on the Internet last year, but did not find it.

At that time, he didn't think too much about it, and thought that this was just another manifestation of the change in the world, after all, even Station B has become Elle, and it is normal for other companies to have some changes.

Pei Qian didn't take this too seriously, after all, this company was far overseas, and his news was not so well-informed.

Now Pei Qian finally understands why he didn't find it last year.

Because, the name of the company and the name of the game have changed, from Riot Company to Finger Company, from LOL to IOI, Pei Qian can't find anything according to the original name.

Moreover, the whole timeline has been pushed back by two years, and last year the company was estimated to have just been founded, just a start-up, how could there be too much information on the Internet?

Pei Qian has actually always been curious about what MOBA games in this world will be like.

Unexpectedly, today I finally knew the answer to this matter, but in such an absurd way......

However, Pei Qian took a look at the panel of the system and found that there were no obvious changes yet.

The shares worth more than 2 million dollars, the nature should be the same as that villa, they are all special assets belonging to the company, and they should definitely be displayed on the system panel.

This may be because the share acquisition is still in progress and has not gone through all the formalities, so it is not officially displayed on the system.

Many thoughts flashed quickly in Pei Qian's mind.

He faced the old horse's sincere eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Criticize him? It doesn't seem to make much sense. The old horse did exactly what he was instructed to do, without compromising at all.

20 million to smash a small foreign company, this thing is very in line with the style of dream venture capital, and it is not suitable for this pot to be thrown on Ma Yang!

Compliment him? Well, it really should be praised, this kind of investment belongs to the kind of deeds that can boast for a lifetime.

But...... Pei Qian really couldn't boast.

Pei Qian took two deep breaths and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay, you're doing a good job." ”

"However, there may not be any extra funds in the near future, Lao Ma, you can take everyone to work and play games casually every day, and wait for my next news."

Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.

He couldn't stay in this sad place for a second.

Ma Yang raised his hand: "Hey, Brother Qian, don't you really come to experience a high-end game?" I'm a 1900-point god! ”

Pei Qian: "......"

Ma Yang said again: "For that meal on Saturday night, I will contact Manager Lin directly, no problem, right?" ”

Pei Qian: "......"

And the face to eat my meal!

Unable to speak, he could only raise his hand with his back to Ma Yang and make an "OK" gesture, and then walked away without looking back.

……

……

Back at Tengda Games, Pei Qian sat down in his office.

Now that I have thought about life, I have to think about how to deal with this emergency.

At the beginning of the cycle, this kind of moth was made, which was completely beyond Pei Qian's expectations.

Buying more than 20% of the shares and obtaining the exclusive agency rights of IOI in China is basically a certainty, and it is impossible to terminate the investment and transfer these newly bought shares.

Because there is really no valid reason.

What about selling it after a while? At that time, the valuation of the finger company will definitely rise rapidly, and this sale will inevitably make a lot of money.

What's more, Pei Qian pondered carefully, saying that this share could not be sold.

Sell it halfway, it's stupid!

If the finger company can really develop to the scale that Pei Qian imagined, not to mention the shares, the exclusive agency in China alone can be called a cash cow.

Mr. Pei does regard making money as dung, but if there is too much dung...... It would be impossible to ignore it.

If IOI can earn more than one billion or two billion dollars a year in the future, then no matter how much the wealth conversion ratio is adjusted, the converted personal property will be a lot of money.

If it's just a small profit of a few millions, it really doesn't mean much to Pei Qian, but if it's a kind of income of billions, things are completely different.

And, imagine if you can come up with heroes and exclusive skins named after you in the future?

When you think about it, it's still quite emotional!

If this really happens, then it seems to be a good strategy for Pei Qian to do nothing and lie down to make money.

The large amount of system funds earned can also be used to engage in logistics, build physical stores, and give back to the society.

Earning foreigners' money to repay the motherland is a good young man with good roots.

Of course, then again, it's not so certain.

The whole world is different, and the company and game name are different from Pei Qian's memory, who can guarantee that IOI will be as successful as LOL?

And, even if it succeeds, it will be three or four years later.

During this period, it is necessary to go through many rounds of promotion and the joint efforts of many people, and it is possible to achieve a dominant position in the global game market with the right time, place, and people.

What will happen in three or four years, who can say for sure?

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if you can really make money lying down in three or four years, it won't affect Pei Qian's current development strategy.

In short, in the long run, this stake and exclusive agency rights must be kept.

If you don't like to make money in the near future, then find a way to spend money on logistics, warehousing, and public welfare...... Anyway, changing the law is equivalent to benefiting the society.

When you think about it, it doesn't seem that bad.

The hope of losing money has not been completely severed.

Moreover, Pei Qian thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to mind, and a good idea came to mind.

"That's right, I can take this opportunity to hedge my risk!"

"Now that the world already has an IOI, does that mean that the future winner has been determined?"

"Then if I make a MOBA game myself, won't it inevitably hit the streets?"

"Isn't that going to become a bottomless pit, just put as much money as you want to burn!"

Pei Qian suddenly discovered the New World, which can be described as another village!

If, in the future, IOI is destined to sweep the world, and the quality of "Divine Apocalypse" can still withstand it, and other end-game MOBAs may soon suffer heavy casualties and become accompaniment.

In this case, Tengda also makes a MOBA game, wouldn't it be appropriate to fail?

First smashed 50 million, and then smashed 50 million when the situation was not good, and finally the game hit the street because it was unable to resist the tide of IOI, so all these R&D funds were wasted......

Isn't it beautiful?

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was reliable!

Originally, a budget of 50 million was reserved for Tengda's game department, and I was worried about how to spend it.

Now you don't have to worry, you have a goal!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian hurriedly called Li Yada over.

"There's a new game, you can memorize it briefly."

Li Yada hurriedly took out a small notebook from his pocket: "Okay, Mr. Pei, you can say it." ”

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Have you played "Divine Revelation"? Just do that, make a similar one. ”

"The name of the word...... Let's call it GOG, Glory of Gods. ”

Pei Qian felt that LOL, IOI, COC and WOW were all available, and there were really not many letters available.

In this case, let's call it GOG, in fact, there is no special meaning, I just hope that this game can strive to play GG as soon as possible.

Li Yada is still waiting.

After waiting for a minute, she asked with some confusion, "That's it?" ”

Pei Qian nodded: "That's right." ”

Anyway, it's just to make it and burn money casually, so you can just toss around.

Li Yada thought for a moment: "However, if we copy the words of "Divine Revelation", isn't it...... Something is wrong? ”

"Although the law doesn't protect the gameplay, if you do it too much, you will definitely be scolded."

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, it makes sense." ”

After all, Mr. Pei's goal is only to lose money, and he is not to ruin his reputation and the company's reputation, so it is really unnecessary to attract this kind of scolding.

"In that case, then you can change it as you like."

"Anyway, it's changed beyond recognition, so that players don't think we're plagiarizing."

"The first version will first produce more than 20 heroes to play casually, and the development cycle will be four months."

"The budget is 50 million, and I toss hard, and if it is not enough, I can add it later."

Li Yada was stunned: "Huh? So much? …… I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it. ”

Is it okay to spend it if you can't finish it?

Pei Qian was a little unhappy, his employees didn't know how to exert their subjective initiative at all.

Pei Qian said with some hatred: "Why do you spend money and ask me to teach?" ”

"Smash more art resources, models, actions, story backgrounds, details ......"

Li Yada looked down at the small book with some embarrassment: "But...... Mr. Pei, if it's just a picture and more than 20 heroes, the money for art really can't be spent so much......"

Pei Qian: "......"

If you think about it, that's really the case.

Because of the existence of the RSRO official resource station, the cost of developing games in this world has been reduced a lot.

It's a bit difficult to spend a budget of 50 million on just one map and more than 20 heroes in four months.

What's the matter?

Pei Qian thought about it, are there any other MOBA game experiences that can be used for reference?

There are a lot of failed MOBA games, but the failure of many games is due to poor gameplay, too many program bugs, or insufficient promotion?

It's really not clear.

Pei Qian thought about it and thought of a good direction.

A game that has been tested since development and has never dared to officially operate.

Because once it is officially operated, it will be accused of bankruptcy in an instant.

Pei Qian felt that he should also be able to learn from this advanced experience!

Of course, copyright must not be prostituted in vain.

The copyright of white prostitution cannot be officially operated, and if it cannot be settled in two cycles, the system will open the gate to Mr. Pei.

But what if you buy all those copyrights?

How much does that cost!

Don't worry about running out of money!

As long as you keep buying copyrights, no matter how much money you invest, it won't be enough to build it.

Pei Qian thought it was a good idea: "Then buy the IP!" ”

"Whether it's domestic or foreign, buy some of the character IPs you can look at, no matter how expensive or low, if you can do it in the game, you can do it in the game."

"Oh, forget about the kind of hot IP that can only be bought for millions of dollars, just buy more cheap IPs."

Buying characters with big IPs to do it in the game costs a lot of money, and even some particularly big IPs may not be able to buy them if you have money.

But buying this kind of big IP, the hidden dangers are also very big, such as...... What if it attracts a large number of fans and gives the game a high reputation?

Moreover, the bigger the IP, the more troubles the parent company has, Pei Qian doesn't want to just buy an IP, and he has to negotiate contract details with some large foreign companies all day long, and he can't afford to work hard.

Therefore, Pei Qian's idea is to pick up garbage desperately.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, just find those IP characters that are outdated or no one cares about, buy them all with the mentality of picking up garbage, do it in the game, and then design skills according to the characteristics of the characters.

If you don't agree with the style of the game, you can tell the copyright owner in advance, and then ask the artist to do a second creation, and you can spend another money.

Wouldn't the money be spent quickly?

Moreover, these garbage IPs are similar to those bought or not, and they will not play an obvious role in driving traffic, and the cost performance is so low that it explodes.

Li Yada still has questions, after all, this is the first project she really brought after she became the main planner.

However, Pei Qian waved his hand: "Okay, let's do it first, you can conceive casually first." Don't ask me everything, I'm afraid it will affect your own thinking. ”

Li Yada pinched his fingers: "Okay, okay Mr. Pei." ”

Turning around and leaving Mr. Pei's office, Li Yada thought to herself that this task was a bit too heavy, especially since she herself was not good at games like "Divine Apocalypse".

Come to think of it, it should be impossible to improve the game level of Apocalypse in the short term.

It seems that he can only turn to Bao Xu privately.
