Chapter 698: Invest in Cherry Studio

Liang Qingfan froze for a moment.
Who buys a house and chooses a house that has no potential for appreciation?
Could it be that……
Mr. Pei actually meant to buy a popular property in the city center?
The price of popular real estate is very high, so the upside is relatively small. If the potential for appreciation is lower, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Liang Qingfan realized in an instant that he nodded quickly, "No problem, Mr. Pei!"
He apparently also noticed that President Pei's attitude towards "buying a house" has changed greatly before and after.
In the past, I kept picking up garbage. I bought all the buildings with bad size, remote buildings and commercial and residential buildings.
But now, it is necessary to buy a building with little potential for appreciation, that is, some popular real estate in the city center.
why?
Liang Qingfan combined with the sloth apartment 20 model guess, this should be a strategic transformation.
At the beginning, it was mainly to highlight the core concept of the sloth apartment.
For example, in the promotional video of the sloth apartment, the two buildings in Binhu District have been completely renovated from the garbage building that no one cares about, and they have become particularly livable.
Now that the attention of the sloth apartment has been established, it is necessary to continue to explore and establish a higher brand value.
Therefore, Liang Qingfan raised his hands in support of President Pei's idea.
Seeing the expression of "the hero sees the same" on Liang Qingfan's face, Pei Qian suddenly felt guilty for no reason.
But after thinking about it for a while, it's useless to continue to pick up garbage. It will appreciate madly at that time, and it will be pitted again when it settles.
The two evils have the right to take the light, and Pei Qian considered for a long time, but still decided to stick to the current idea.
Let's take a look at the sloth apartment 20 mode first. If it doesn't work, then think of other ways.
...

Friday, October 21.
Royal Capital, Cherry Studio.
"Quickly, everyone will clean up their work quickly and don't leave a bad impression on others."
A tall, thin young man who looked less than thirty years old, while packing up his messy work station filled with various books, greeted the other three people sitting beside him.
The other three look even younger than him. One boy has a round shape and looks a little sloppy. The other boy is a little fat and has a girl wearing glasses and a single ponytail.
In Imperial City, there are many such small independent game studios.
Three or four people, just find an incubation space office, you can develop an independent game.
The tall and thin young man is Jiang Fan, the owner and producer of Cherry Studio.
The boy who looks a little stern is named Yang Liang, the main designer of the game. The chubby boy and the sister of Zadan Mawei are the numerical designer and art director of the game, respectively.
Moreover, everyone is actually a function designer, everyone will use the game editor to make games.
The girl is the person in charge of art, but she only paints a few art resources by herself. Most of the time is to communicate with people on the resource station, raise needs, and accept art resources.
Such a small team of four is currently the standard team of independent game studios in China.
If the number of people is small, the development cycle will be longer, and the resulting games are difficult to guarantee quality, pure luck; but if the number of people is larger, it may not be able to feed.
They all do independent games, and the funds are definitely stretched, and a dime has to be broken in half.
To develop an independent game, even if there is an official editor and an official platform to find art, the cost still exists.
Rents must be paid, staff salaries must be paid, and art resources must be bought.
Although the official platform has various preferential policies for independent game producers, if the game cannot be sold, any preferential policies are in vain, and all investment will still be lost.
It seems that the main designer Yang Liang has some unwillingness to clean up. "Brother Fan, don't clean up, I think it's useless. Several investors have come here and asked for a long time. And no one really wants to invest in us to take this risk. "
"After all, the probability of failure of an independent game is too high, and they are not willing to vote."
"At this time, it is better to fix two more bugs."
Jiang Fan also had some helplessness. "There is no way, Liangzi. Now the funding situation of the studio is too bad. If no one helps, we can support it for more than a month. At that time, even the salary will not be paid. I can't let you All generate electricity for love. Try again. "
"I asked a few friends in the industry to verify that this Qiu President who came today is indeed a figure in the industry, and he did contact several game companies. Although none of them voted, at least it means that he has This idea. "
Yang Liang continued to pack things up, "Is it? Brother Fan, do you think we have a chance to get investment?"
Jiang Fan shook his head. "This, I can't say it well."
"This President Qiu used to do krypton games, but I do n’t know why. Since last week, I have been in frequent and frequent contact with domestic stand-alone game companies, especially with independent game studios like us. I knew it in the Imperial City, so I have already talked about three. "
"It is said that he seems to be investing in domestic stand-alone games and independent games. For us, the probability of being invested is already much greater than other investment companies."
"However, none of the three companies I heard of received investment."
"The first two did n’t understand. It seems too unreliable, but the third one is very reliable. The game shelf has been completed, and the game content is also very good. Just wait for the effort to finally release , As a result, President Qiu did not vote. "
"It's not clear what his standards are."
"But in any case, this is a good opportunity for us, and strive to seize it."
The four people in the studio seized the time to tidy up the work station a little bit, waiting for the arrival of President Qiu.
Jiang Fan looked at the time on the phone anxiously.
Between two minutes and two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Fan's cell phone rang.
Jiang Fan hurried to pick up "Mr. Qiu, are you here? Wait a moment, I'll pick you up right away!"
Jiang Fan gave a glance to everyone before leaving, and everyone immediately sat upright at the work station and began to work seriously, waiting for President Qiu to arrive.
A few minutes later, Jiang Fan led Qiu Hong to the office area of ​​Cherry Studio.
Since accepting the task of "The Poor Path Project" from President Pei, Qiu Hong simply settled his private affairs, and then went to the Imperial Capital directly.
The cities of Imperial City, Magic City, and Yangcheng are all the places where game companies gather together, so Qiu Hong chose the Imperial City as his first stop.
Although Qiu Hong ’s mission is to invest in stand-alone game companies and independent game studios across the country, he does n’t have to fly every day between cities.
It is the most efficient way to stay in the Imperial City for one month and visit a company every day. After most of the Imperial City companies are screened, it is the most efficient way to change to another city.
Qiu Hong had already visited five companies before, but only one.
Because there are three companies that are very unreliable small workshops at first glance, the boss itself does not understand the game very well, a bit of expert guidance, and Qiu Hong feels that they have a tendency to cheat investors.
Mr. Pei said, surely not to vote.
There is a company that is good in every aspect, and the game completion is also very high. Qiu Hong tried it and felt that the probability of success is very high.
But President Pei also said that too reliable can not vote.
Therefore, there is only one that is quite satisfactory and has received Qiu Hong's "Poor Path Plan" investment.
Today, Qiu Hong came to the Cherry Studio to continue his investigation.
In fact, his job is the easiest and most stress-free. When I was a game producer, I had to think hard about the gameplay. I was afraid that if I made a wrong decision, I would bury the whole project, but now I do n’t need it anymore. I ’ll see if the company decides to invest or not.
Moreover, the bonuses you get now have nothing to do with whether the investment makes money. The more you invest, the more bonuses you have. Where can you find such good things?
Without pressure, there will be no gains or losses, and decisions will be made more sensible and sober.
Jiang Fan moved Qiu Hong ’s chair from the side, and received a cup of hot water from the water dispenser next to it. Then he started to introduce the basic situation of Cherry Studio.
Qiu Hong listened silently while drinking water.
According to Jiang Fan, the establishment of Cherry Studio is basically a standard "power generation with love" story.
Jiang Fan originally worked in a law firm, and his professionalism had nothing to do with the game. The start of the game is just because of the existence of the official platform and editor, which greatly lowered the threshold of game production, giving him the idea to try a game after work.
Jiang Fan's work is usually slow, and he can only spend one hour a day making games with the official editor.
In this way, he spent a whole two years alone making a text adventure game with the lawyer's defense as the theme, and the result was quite popular after it went online.
Although the sales volume is not very high ~ EbookFREE.me ~, after all, independent games do not have too much cost, and the sales of five dollars each have sold nearly 200,000 copies, including various discounts for independent games on the official platform. The policy has earned more than 600,000.
As a result, Jiang Fan made a very important decision in his life, gave up his job as a lawyer, and decided to set up Cherry Studio to do full-time independent games.
The other three employees were also found by Jiang Fan from his own player group, after a simple exchange and interview. These three also voluntarily gave up their previous jobs and came to the Cherry Workshop to get a salary that can only guarantee a basic life.
This is not Jiang Fan's trick. The key is that there are a total of 600,000 yuan, and it is necessary to pay for the rent of office space and the purchase of art resources. There is really no way to pay more money to pay.
The game currently being developed is called the
Office Worker Survival Manual
, and its volume is much more than that of the game developed by Jiang Fan before, but also because the game ’s volume exceeds Jiang Fan ’s ability to control, so Cherry works The room's money is not enough.
In more than a month, even wages may not be paid, and the game has not yet reached the level of being online.
