made such a successful game for the company, but the company only gave itself less than 1% of the revenue, and it was difficult to balance the psychology of anyone.

Of course, Qiu Hong is not bad, many game companies have successful game projects, and not a penny bonus is given to the R&D team, and there are also such companies, and there are quite a few.

Qiu Hong saw this and felt that there would never be a future for others as a wage earner, so he jumped out and decided to start his own business.

Not to mention that the monthly flow of the project exceeds 100 million, as long as there are millions or tens of millions, their own income will also be crushed before.

But the problem is that starting a business is much more difficult than he imagined.

If the business is not successful, then don't think about anything to get rich, it's good not to starve to death.

Therefore, the price offered by Mr. Pei is actually sincere and tempting enough.

However, this "Poor Road Plan" itself is not like an investment project, but more like a public welfare project, coupled with the bonus rules proposed by Mr. Pei, so Qiu Hong can't make up his mind.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Hong asked, "Mr. Pei, can I take the liberty of asking, what is the purpose of this 'poor plan'?" ”

Pei Qian fell silent.

Don't say it, Mr. Pei was asked.

The first goal is, of course, to lose money, but I can't tell you.

After thinking about it for a moment, Pei Qian said, "There is no specific purpose. ”

Qiu Hong was at a loss: "How can there be no purpose?" ”

Pei Qian asked rhetorically, "Why does it have to be purposeful?" ”

Qiu Hong was stunned, he blinked his eyes, and carefully savored Mr. Pei's words.

Everyone must have a purpose in doing things, Pei can always achieve such great success, and it is impossible to do things by patting his head.

So why did Mr. Pei say that?

Obviously, Mr. Pei's words definitely do not mean that there is really no purpose, but that there is no utilitarian and secular purpose.

In fact, Qiu Hong's question is more subtle, what he really wants to ask is: It is not profitable to invest in domestic stand-alone games and independent games, so what are you trying to do?

Mr. Pei also answered according to the deep logic behind Qiu Hong's prediction: If I don't make money investing in domestic stand-alone games and independent games, can't I invest? Why bother making money? Isn't it okay to just do something meaningful for the industry?

Looking at Mr. Pei's firm gaze, Qiu Hong suddenly remembered something.

I did talk to Mr. Pei about his views on domestic games before, and Mr. Pei seemed to have some sighs about the catastrophe of the stand-alone game ten years ago.

Could it be that Mr. Pei is simply to support the domestic stand-alone game industry to engage in this "poor plan"? It's not about making money at all?

In that case, take a closer look at the name of this plan.

Poor Journey.

Why such a name?

On the one hand, it can be considered that the entire domestic single-player game has reached the end of the road, and on the other hand, it can also be considered that this plan is dedicated to helping those independent game companies and independent game producers who have reached the end of their rope and are about to go out of business.

If I had been able to have the help of such a poor plan when I first started my business, would the results be different?

After thinking about this, I looked at Mr. Pei again, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be an idealistic brilliance in him.

There are no empty words or clichés, but just the name of this plan touched Qiu Hong deeply!

It's just that what is the name of your own performance bonus?

It's not that it's too little, it's just that it's a little hard to understand.

Thinking of this, Qiu Hong nodded: "Mr. Pei, I probably understand." ”

"However, there are some details that I still don't understand. There are so many companies, what is the specific screening method? Are you sure that my winnings are not determined based on the return on the investment? ”

When he heard the words "understood", Pei Qian instinctively shuddered.

He took a sip of tea and explained, "The specific selection method is actually very simple. ”

"You go all over the country to find these small teams that make standalone games and indie games, but don't announce the relationship between the 'Poor Journey Project' and Tengda Games."

"Of course, the travel expenses will be fully reimbursed."

"As for which small teams are eligible, the criteria are simple: don't vote for anything that you think is very reliable or very outrageous. As for what it means to be reliable, you can grasp it yourself. ”

"One thing to note is that the game must be a buyout system, and there can be no in-app purchase fees."

"Only when their games are online and they make money, we will get a share of the money invested."

"As for your bonus earnings...... The one I mentioned before is the final plan, and it will not be decided based on investment returns. ”

After saying this, Pei Qian felt a little weak.

He was afraid that Qiu Hong would refuse.

It seems more attractive to get a bonus share according to investment income, although the actual bonus income and stability are much lower than the current plan provided by Pei Qian, but people, sometimes it is easy to think about things in the best direction.

But Pei Qian couldn't give Qiu Hong a bonus based on investment income, in that case, wouldn't Qiu Hong have to rack his brains to find a project that could make money?

According to the current way of giving bonuses, in fact, Qiu Hong is encouraging him to diversify his investment, and the more the number and the fewer profitable projects, the higher his bonus will be.

As for not revealing the relationship between the "Poor Project" and Tengda Games, this is because once it is related to Tengda, this plan cannot be low-key, and the funded companies will definitely become highly concerned, which invisibly increases the probability of their games becoming popular.

Therefore, you must spend money silently, and don't have too much to do with Tengda, which will trigger the backstabbing effect of multi-department linkage.

But these things must not be said explicitly, and they can only hope that Qiu Hong can realize it by himself.

Qiu Hong fell into deep thought again.

He didn't think that Mr. Pei's bonus distribution method was a slam on the contrary, he felt that Mr. Pei was a bit too generous.

Because the investment is in some small teams that do stand-alone games and indie games, it would be good to have a success rate of a few percent in this thing, and the probability of failure is much greater than the probability of success.

Since losing money is a high probability event, then from a rational point of view, the current way of distributing bonuses is more beneficial to yourself.

As for why Mr. Pei deliberately emphasized that those who are too reliable or too unreliable cannot vote?

Needless to say, there are many companies and producers here who cheat money, and no matter how much money you put in him, he will only make a bunch of garbage, and this kind of company deserves to go out of business;

Companies that are too reliable are not "at the end of the road", and even if they can't get money from the poor plan, they will probably be able to find some other investors to survive the crisis.

The people who need help the most are the middle layers. They want to play well, but they can't win the favor of ordinary investment companies.

As for why "cast a wide net", this is also easy to understand.

On the one hand, because you can't put your eggs in one basket, and on the other hand, because you want to make the scope of the Poor Journey Project more extensive.

Just as giving relief to the poor, giving 100,000 dollars to a poor person is certainly not as good as giving 1,000 dollars to each of a hundred poor people.

Many small companies and small teams, if you give them 5 million or 10 million, they don't know how to spend it, which may cause serious waste; But if you give them 500,000 or 1 million, it's enough to help them tide over the difficult times and make the best use of these funds.

Quietly, although it gave up its false name, it also prevented those garbage producers who sold their reputation and deceived investors to come to the door.

Thinking about it, Qiu Hong sighed silently, Mr. Pei was really thoughtful!

Sure enough, this kind of thoughtful person can succeed in all fields!

Qiu Hong couldn't help but think of the scene when he lectured in front of Mr. Pei before, and he felt a sense of shame that the class had an axe.

However, it may be precisely because of the previous exchange that Mr. Pei chose himself, right?

Mr. Pei once said, don't let the sadness of the times become personal sorrow, this is obviously to see that deep down in your heart you still have a special feeling for stand-alone games, right?

Qiu Hong felt that the brilliance of the idealist on Mr. Pei's body shone even more, and Mr. Pei's smile revealed a kind of warmth and trust!

Thinking of this, Qiu Hong nodded: "Okay Mr. Pei, I am willing to be responsible for the 'Poor Road Project', I hope we can cooperate happily!" ”

……

In the afternoon, we played a game.

Wang Xiaobin is still racking his brains to think about the content of the DLC.

During this time, he also went to the forum to read the opinions of some players, and selected a few plans with strong repercussions to consider.

"Huh? Director Zhu sent the synopsis of the plot! ”

Wang Xiaobin hurriedly received the document.

This synopsis is the DLC synopsis of the game "Sea Fortress", not the synopsis of "Mission and Choice".

In fact, whether the plot story of "Mission and Choice" has been written or not has not yet been written, and there is no accurate letter.

But Wang Xiaobin doesn't care about this, and now he is a little too busy with his work.

After opening the document, Wang Xiaobin found that this was not just a simple synopsis of the story, but also some sketches of the setting set that had just been drawn, including the Zerg encountered in the game, the appearance of the characters in the game, and the line drawings of weapons and equipment.

Although it is a first-person view, you can't see the main character's face, but you can see the appearance of the other team members.

As in many movies or games, these characters wear special combat suits, which are high-tech armor.

It's just that unlike those combat uniforms that are heavy, often reaching more than three meters tall and weighing half a ton, these people's combat uniforms will be slightly slimmer and lighter.

According to the description in the canon, the suit is called the "Skylark III Combat Suit", which is powered by a miniature fusion reactor on the chest, which can charge the battle rifle in the hand, and has a jet port on the back, which can also support ultra-short flights in a short period of time while dissipating heat.

At the same time, the soldiers have undergone intensive surgeries to strengthen their bodies by physical, chemical, and genetic means, which have accelerated their reaction speed, strength, and eyesight, and although only a few soldiers have persevered, they have gained the ability to control the Skylark Battle Uniform.

The reason why this combat suit is named lark is not only because it is relatively light and has the ability to fly short distances, but also because finches are natural enemies of insects.

The combat suit has recoil countermeasures in the hands and gravity on the feet, and the weapon is a special rifle that can be carried by a single soldier using gunpowder and magnetic rails.

There is an integrated system in the helmet, which has functions such as instant communication, infrared detection, terrain navigation, ballistic calculation, status monitoring, and artificial intelligence.

Although the rifle is extremely powerful and has a very high rate of fire, the recoil counteraction device on the hand can achieve a "recoilless" effect for a short time, and the gravity device on the foot allows the user to stand on any solid surface.

In other words, every soldier wearing a Skylark combat uniform can gain combat abilities such as wall climbing, perspective within a certain range, no recoil, self-aiming, and short-distance flight.

The soldier's battlefield data will be uploaded in real time, and the massive data will be processed and analyzed by artificial intelligence, which will direct the soldier's actions.

This means that AI can answer the vast majority of combat-related questions from soldiers at any time, directing their actions.

Of course, the team communication within the squad will be retained, allowing the team members to react on the fly.

The faces of all the team members were concealed in the helmets of the Skylark's combat uniforms, but the inside of the helmet was faintly visible: a large monocle eyepiece covered the soldier's left eye, and the extended part of the eyepiece wrapped the left jaw, so that not much expression could be seen, but it was able to distinguish between men and women and general facial features.

On top of that, each person's suit has a huge number and a small amount of personalized livery, so even if you're wearing a standard combat suit, you can tell who's who if you look closely, as long as it's not in the heat of battle.

In addition, the synopsis briefly explains the tasks of this team.

In the main battlefield, armored vehicles and heavy tanks against the Zerg are the main force of the battle, and the soldiers do not need to wear combat uniforms to fight the sea of insects.

However, neither armored vehicles nor combat suits can completely defend against the acid, claws and cherays of the Zerg, and at the same time, the carapace of most Zerg units cannot resist the dual propulsion of gunpowder and magnetic rails.

For individual soldiers, it doesn't make much sense to stack armor and increase firepower, so the main effect of the Skylark Combat Suit is to provide high mobility and concealment.

Under this premise, the combat team wearing the Lark's combat uniform, the mission goal is to avoid the main force of the swarm, dive into the depths of the hive, and decapitate the Zerg Queen.

There are many such squads, and the identity of the protagonist is the leader of one of the action squads.

All the team members firmly believe that as long as they succeed in beheading the Zerg Queen, they will be able to turn the tide of the battle and even wipe out all the Zerg.

But judging from the synopsis of the story, it seems that the decapitation mission carried out on the Zerg Queen is not such a simple thing.

And the players in the story still don't know anything about it.
