Society owes me a brother

Chapter 179

Prior to this, it was not that Lu Chi and the others had not experienced company acquisition projects.However, a company like this game company with all its employees working together to catch up with the acquisition... is really the first time.

"It's not surprising, after all, our company is about to go bankrupt!" The red-haired young man who is the boss laughed loudly: "My name is Gavin Terry, and I am the boss of this game company. Just call me Gavin."

After a brief self-introduction, Gaventley continued: "I heard from Mary that several gentlemen want to visit our company."

The momentary excitement receded slowly like the ebbing sea water, and reason finally came to mind.Gavin Terry also knew that it was unlikely that Lu Chi and others would acquire the game company.However, he still enthusiastically invited everyone into the company, and after personally taking everyone around the various areas of the company, he led everyone into the leisurely and comfortable rest area.

As a game company, Gavintley, who has always believed in "working in entertainment", did not decorate the conference rooms in the company that looked serious and dignified when he founded the company.Instead, decorate all areas and corners of the company as comfortably and brightly as possible, so that all employees can feel the warmth of home even in the working environment.

"This kind of environment can inspire us to a greater extent." Gavintley shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You also know that the productivity of programmers has never been about working from nine to five. The fact is In fact, except that everyone has to work overtime when working on projects, I usually don’t ask everyone to clock in on time.”

Lu Chi and others sat on the sofa chairs of various colors in the rest area, listening to Gavin's words, and looking at the rest area.

This is a hall with more than 100 square meters, bright and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows ensure sufficient sunlight.Because the location on the second floor is not high, when you turn your head and look out of the window, you can still see the green lawn and the exquisitely trimmed flowers and trees at a glance.Most of the sofa tables in the rest area are yellow, green and white, and the visual effect is very bright.On the bookshelves and decorative shelves placed around the rest area, in addition to the books, magazines, DVD posters and game peripherals that everyone is interested in, there are also a few scattered products released by the game company since its establishment in the past few years. games and peripherals...

All in all, this is a place that looks comfortable.

Lu Chi stood up from the sofa, walked to the bookshelf, took a look at several game manuals and game peripherals made by the game company, and asked casually, "Are you interested in introducing your company's games?"

"Of course." Gavin Terry, who originally wanted to ask Lu Chi and the others why they visited the company, his eyes lit up. Regardless of whether Lu Chi was really interested in their games or was just being polite, Gavin felt that this It is an opportunity for the company.

Smart people are good at seizing opportunities.

"It's too boring just to introduce something, how about we just play two games?" Gai Wen was talking, and the employees of the game company who had been secretly observing the situation here immediately moved the computer, turned on the TV, turned on the pick-up machine and opened the game page ——

Although it has not been established for a long time, Gavin's game company has developed a wide variety of games, from arcade games to gamepad games to handheld games to online games, although the sales of these games after their listing are not very good However, it can also be seen that this game company is not just relying on its laurels, but is always striving to develop and cater to the tastes of the market.

Seeing this, several shareholders of the campus network happily sat in front of the computer and TV, rolling up their arms and sleeves and preparing for a big fight.But Lu Chi, who mentioned this matter, was rejected by everyone because of his physique of playing black holes.

Lu Chi then sat next to Yue Bin, quietly watching him play games.

Fearing that Lu Chi would be bored, Yue Bin explained to Lu Chi while playing the game.Yue Bin is playing an arcade game with the background of cowboys panning for gold in the west. The game is set so that if the cowboy wants to pan for gold, he must pass through many barriers and duel with other players, and the winner in the end will get a piece of gold as a reward.During the period, there are only games such as bullfighting.

After watching it for a while, Lu Chi felt that the game was quite boring. This was also because Lu Chi was not very interested in fighting games.In contrast, Yue Bin's interpretation of Chinese martial arts novels is even more interesting.

Angel Locke is sitting next to Zhang Yang. The operators of this fighting arcade game are Lu Chi and Zhang Yang, strategic partners who have been playing since childhood.The two cooperated very well, almost without Gavin's help, they were familiar with the operation. Within 10 minutes, the two played two rounds. Yue Bin won the first round and Zhang Yang won the second round.Angel Locke watched Zhang Yang manipulate the game character into the cave, and the game page immediately turned into a pitch-black underground, with animated soil everywhere, and a gleaming gold in the middle, Zhang Yang had to operate the game character from the surface to the ground Dig to the gold, and then you can put the gold in the game backpack.

Seeing this, Angel Locke said with a smile: "I think the most interesting part of this game is digging for gold after clearing the level."

After all, girls are born irresistible to glittering things.Angel Locke commented: "It would be great if the customs clearance rewards are not only gold, but also various gems and diamonds."

Gavin Terry, who is a straight otaku, doesn't quite understand Angel Locke's way of thinking, and said with a meaningless face: "That's just a sign of victory. Use gold to echo the theme of the gold digger game."

Angel glanced at Gavintley in distaste, and Miss Mary beside her nodded excitedly: "I think Miss Locke's suggestion is very reasonable." Because her biggest motivation every time she plays this game is After clearing the customs, dig for gold.

Hearing these words, Gavintley looked at Mary helplessly. It seems that this is not the first time Mary has made such a suggestion.It's just that her idea has never been adopted.

Straight male programmers really don't understand girls' fantasy psychology!It's not real jewelry gold, it's just a customs clearance reward, and it's not the same in any form!

Lu Chi listened to the complaints of the two girls, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Since girls like shiny customs clearance rewards and ask for them repeatedly, why don't you develop a similar mining game and make it into an online game or Handheld games, specially designed to attract girls."

Before the words were finished, Gavin Terry and his game developers looked over in unison.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chi, who had little knowledge of the game industry because of his game black hole physique and obsession with work, blinked and asked.

"Uh, I just think that this kind of game probably won't be played by anyone?" Gavin said with a look of embarrassment.Even though Lu Chi is a wealthy and well-known capital tycoon in the IT field, Gavintley still couldn't violate his professional ethics and professionalism as a game practitioner, and flattered Lu Chi's proposal against his conscience.

"Nowadays, it's all about large-scale fighting games that are popular. For example, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so... No one will spend money to play this kind of too simple game!"

"Why is no one playing it!" Before Gavin finished speaking, Angellock and Miss Mary raised their claws in unison, retorting in unison: "If there is such a game, we will definitely play it."

"But are you willing to spend money to play? Even if you play, how long can you keep your interest?" Gavintley said helplessly: "To develop a game, we need to conduct preliminary market research. It is necessary to design the game background and game script, as well as invest in art and various technical personnel. These manpower and funds need to be included in the development cost, if making a game cannot guarantee the return of the cost, then there is no objection to all interests and hobbies.” And The general idea in the game industry now is that girls don't spend money to play games.This general concept cannot be changed by a few girls making a few suggestions.

In order for Angel Locke and others to understand what he meant, Gaventley had to patiently explain the powerlessness of his team in the most straightforward language.

Hearing this, Angel Locke and Miss Mary stopped talking.Because they can't guarantee how much interest they have in this unreleased game, let alone how long they will spend money to play.

Lu Chi thought about it for a while: "Since you spend money, you will worry that no one will play. What if it's free?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over again.

Stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Lu Chi said very calmly: "It's like the fighting cubes and Snake games that come with many mobile phones. If the campus network and Dongfang Modun can launch some free Small games, and then encourage everyone to play games to compete for rankings, what do you think?"

Because the campus network is about to go public, recently, Lu Chi has been thinking about giving back to customers and maintaining user stickiness.He didn't have any idea at first, but he didn't expect an impromptu visit to inspire him.

Because it is to give back to customers and maintain user stickiness, Lu Chi never thought about the issue of charging.So the cost recovery problem that Gavintley has been struggling with has been solved.And Angel and Miss Mary have repeatedly expressed the attraction of this kind of golden game to girls. As long as Lu Chi does a market research on this point, it is estimated that the target audience of the game will also come out after it is launched.

Thinking about it this way, it's a good way to achieve mutual benefits.

Thinking of this, Lu Chi smiled slightly, looked at Gavintley who was in a daze in front of him, and said with a smile: "You just said that you really want the game company to be acquired by the campus network, right?"

Originally, he just wanted to come in and have a look, and discuss whether the company's office location could be changed. Lu Chi tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger, and said leisurely: "Let's talk."

"I'm a little interested now."
