As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 172 Confidence
At eight o'clock in the evening, the office building of the Pengcheng Goose Factory was brightly lit, and the employees of the Goose Factory were still fighting.

Since the establishment of the brain-computer connection VR project, Goose Factory has been negotiating business cooperation with world-renowned game manufacturers.

They hope to transplant some popular or classic console masterpieces to VR, of course, they must have a relatively high degree of fit.

MOBA and real-time strategy games are not suitable for porting to VR, even if they can be controlled by brain-computer connection.

Before getting the brain-computer connection VR sample, there are very few game manufacturers willing to cooperate.After getting the brain-computer connection VR samples, almost all game manufacturers are willing to cooperate.

Don't think that only domestic manufacturers like fried rice, foreign manufacturers also like fried rice.

This tradition comes from Hollywood. Even if a series of successful IPs in Hollywood fail for a while, there is still a chance to restart.

Blizzard even bluntly said that it would redo the Frozen Throne. The so-called redo is an update on the screen.

In addition to the transplantation of masterpieces from foreign manufacturers, some foreign game manufacturers also expressed that they have new inspirations and will develop 3A masterpieces based on brain-computer connection VR.

In particular, the producer of the "Witcher" series of masterpieces publicly stated after the Nobel Prize award ceremony:

"Merlin's magic has given us a lot of inspiration, and we have a lot of great ideas for the new wizard.

I hope that Merlin himself can communicate with us in person, and it would be even better if he could visit the legendary magic world.

The original Witcher sequel should have a lot of new stuff, and we can't wait to get to work. "

As the master of the Witcher series, The Witcher 3 has sold about 3000 million copies worldwide, which is a very staggering number.

However, its developer Polish Jackass' work "Cyberpunk 3" after The Witcher 2077 has been criticized by players.

Therefore, they urgently need a product to regain the trust of players. The sequel to the Witcher series is the best choice, and it can catch the popularity of Merlin.

The brain-computer connection VR sample also gave them inspiration, and the sequel to The Witcher can be specially made into a VR version.

In the past, 3A masterpieces could not land on the VR platform. The biggest reason is that the VR manipulation does not match the manipulation required by 3A masterpieces.

The degree of immersion and reality of VR is definitely better than that of a computer screen, but it is helplessly limited by technology.

Kechuang's future brain-computer connection VR has given game manufacturers new hope.

As for the case that the brain-computer connection VR does not sell well, and the sales revenue cannot cover the development cost of the VR version, this is not within the scope of consideration of the major manufacturers.

Game manufacturers that can develop 3A masterpieces can afford this part of the loss.

Moreover, metaverse and virtual reality are the direction of technological evolution. Brain-computer connection VR can be regarded as the primary form of metaverse, and the development of VR version games is also a technical reserve and technical team training.

Not just financial benefits.

Just like the Goose Factory united with Rice to develop a brain-computer connection VR operating system, the process of building wheels has allowed talents to be trained and have a deeper understanding of the system.

Judging from user feedback on the market, Rice's MIUI system has become smoother.

Goose Factory's talks with foreign manufacturers are limited to talks. Foreign manufacturers can't get the version number and can only use the steam platform to enter the Huaguo market.

If it weren't for these console games, almost no game version number could be obtained, and Goose Factory didn't even want to put Steam on the brain-computer to connect to the VR platform.

Although it's not up to them.

Considering that Kechuang Future's brain-computer connected VR is released simultaneously in most countries in the world, these games will also be released on wegame.

As for how much steam wegame can seize in foreign markets, it is unknown.

Goose Factory still does not give up on the wegame project. The project may not develop well or beat many game platforms, but Goose Factory cannot do without this project.

In addition to introducing external games, Goose Factory also engaged in self-research.

Of the fifty or so projects at that time, only five were able to be developed and sold on the shelves.

The Chinese Cthulhu soul game that Chen Ran and his team wanted to create at the time was obviously not recognized.

Even though their team spent a month working at the station every day until late at night before leaving get off work, the combat system they tried their best was not recognized.

The reason is simple. The developers of "Eirden Circle" and "Sekiro" agreed to cooperate and port it to the VR platform.

There is no need to make a game of this type by yourself, even if it has a bit of Chinese Cthulhu, this type of game has not been verified by the market.

Goose factories don't need to take risks, they just need to follow the successful experience in the market step by step.

Originally, Li Miaomiao knew that Zheng Li was interested in this project. After she asked, Zheng Li was preparing to buy the island.

Zheng Li didn't want to invest in this project with the money of Kechuang Bio, because it would be too attention-grabbing.

MiHoYo’s investment in nuclear fusion companies has been talked about as news. A company with a market capitalization of several trillion yuan, such as Kechuangbio, will definitely be hyped by the media if it is not doing business properly to start a game company.

Zheng Li knew that secretly he had been staring at Kechuangbiology.

At that time, Zheng Li was buying islands, building a research and development base for magic plants, and the mage tower project. This was a more important task. If Zheng Li didn't sell his shares, he didn't have any money left to sponsor this project.

Therefore, Kechuang Biotech did not propose joint investment with Goose Factory in this project, so it died before it started.

After other Deus Ex brain-computer connection VR game projects were officially established, Chen Ran's team was broken up and joined various project teams.

"No matter how you look at it, you are still depressed. Are you still thinking about the "Legend of Ming" project?"

The colleagues around me have almost left. Brain-computer connected VR will be released tomorrow, and the development and testing have been completed. Most of the game development department has left relatively early these days.

The earlyness here is just a comparison with the time when the previous project was rushing.

Seeing that Chen Chi was still in a daze, Chen Ran asked his friend.Chen Chi was also the most enthusiastic about this project before.

Chen Ran is the best at what he can do, if he can't do it, forget it, and honestly help the goose factory to work.

Chen Chi turned his head to look at Chen Ran a little bit: "Yeah, I kind of want to go out and work alone to make this game out."

Chen Ran lowered his voice: "Are you crazy! Do you know how much investment it takes to make a game of this level? If you fill in all your salary from entering the goose factory to the present, you won't be able to make a splash."

"Besides, it's so hard to find a job in this environment. It's easy to go out and hard to come back. It's not so easy for you to go back to the goose factory."

"Our project is going to be launched soon. With the company's emphasis on the brain-computer connection VR project, next month will be a huge year-end bonus. Why bother?"

Chen Ran has blood and passion, but reason can overwhelm all these elements.

Chen Chi realized that there were colleagues beside him, so he also lowered his voice:

"The release of brain-computer connected VR is a great opportunity."

"Are you confident in brain-computer connection VR?"

"I am confident that brain-computer connection VR is definitely the best VR product at present, and its entertainment and playability are more than a fraction stronger than the current products on the market."

"From the perspective of my industry insiders, brain-computer connected VR can be said to be a master of electronic products in recent years."

"But my only doubt is the price. According to my friends in Kechuang Future, the price of this product will definitely not be cheap."

"According to what the other party said, it should be at the same price as Sony's PS5, or even more expensive."

"If the price is set at this price, it is a question mark whether we can get enough sales. But it will definitely sell well abroad."

Chen Ran replied after thinking.

There have been comments before that domestic players are unwilling to pay for 3A masterpieces, so Huaguo cannot produce good 3A masterpieces.

There is some truth to this statement, but domestic players are unwilling to pay for 3A masterpieces because the domestic income level cannot keep up with the pricing of console games.

It's not because domestic players have a lower moral level than foreign players, it's simply because the income level can't keep up.

A very simple example, Sweden’s legal minimum wage is 2.8 RMB, and a 3A masterpiece is priced at 300 RMB, which is only half a day’s wages for a Swede.

Among the minimum wage standards in various provinces in Huaguo, the highest is only 2320 yuan, and 300rmb is the minimum wage for 3 days.

If a 3A masterpiece costs a Nordic person 3 days' salary to buy, see if he will buy it.

It has nothing to do with morality.

After all, the number of people who pay for free games in China is small, and those who can recharge hundreds or even thousands are even a few of the few. Most gamers spend no more than 50 RMB on mobile games every month.

Chen Chi nodded and said, "That's right, if the price is high, it may indeed affect sales."

"But the high payment means that the users are Huaguo's best quality customers with the strongest spending power."

"These customers have a great overlap with the consumer groups of console games."

"If the brain-computer connection VR can be a big success, and if the console games on the VR side sell well, there will definitely be many investors who want to invest in this direction."

"As the first batch of practitioners of Goose Factory's brain-computer connected VR games, it is easy to attract investment. With the experience of the two of us, it is not impossible to get a share of the new trend."

"I know the number one rule of entrepreneurship: don't start a business with your own money."

Now is no longer the era when you can attract investment just by adding a PPT. Educational background, resume, working experience, and whether there are successful works are all the criteria that investors need to consider.

The sudden emergence of sci-tech creatures has led to more and more domestic investors willing to invest in hard technology. What if it is the next sci-tech creature?

After hearing this, Chen Ran smiled and said, "Very well, investing with your own money is too stressful, and the pressure is so great that you lose your normal level."

"Using other people's money to do your own business, to some extent it is easier to stimulate people's potential."

"It's just that you have not considered a very important point? You take our plan and go outside to cooperate with others to establish a game company."

"It's okay if there is no fire. Once the fire happens, the goose factory will definitely sue us. Nanshan Pizza Hut is no joke."

Chen Chi shook his head and said, "No, no, you've lost your mind."

"What is the most precious thing about the previous plan? It is the combat system that we have worked hard and put a lot of thought into."

"Chinese Cthulhu is just a layer of skin, and this layer of skin may not necessarily be used."

"The specific story background is not important. Whether the game content can make players happy is the key."

"In addition, the recently popular magic is also a good subject."

Chen Ran: "Let's think about soliciting investment after all the dust settles."

"And the competition agreement is also very troublesome."

"I need time to consider whether or not to do it with you."

I have to say that Chen Ran was moved. Brain-computer connection to VR is a brand-new track, and it is bound to breed a lot of myths about creating wealth.

When the mobile Internet tide came, how many mobile game companies emerged in China, and many entrepreneurial myths appeared.

To this day, there are still a lot of voices in the industry, such as Lilith Games, Yingjiao Network, Mihayou and so on.

Chen Ran has no doubts about the prospect of brain-computer connection VR, but he is still hesitant to take the real step of starting a business.

It's hard to get out of your comfort zone.

Working in a goose factory is tedious and intense, but at least the rewards are worth the effort.

Going out to start a business is a momentary passion, but starting a business is close to death, and whether you can survive is really three-point hard work, and seven-point days are doomed.

The R&D center of Kechuangbio Lion City began to recruit PhD graduates from the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy in the Lion City.

The emergence of magic has led to the naked intention of recruiting scientifically innovative creatures. We are going to do research on magic coin mining. People with lofty ideals are welcome to join.

Kechuangbiology's R&D center has been established in the Lion City for more than three years, including Zheng Li, who is also a celebrity in the Lion City.

Zheng Li has also been on the headlines of the Lion City media several times. Among them, the market value of Kechuang Biotech has exceeded two trillion yuan. When Zheng Li became the richest man in Asia, he was on the front page of the Lion City Daily.

The headline specifically mentioned that Zheng Li has stayed in the Lion City for a long time and is engaged in research and development.

When Kechuang Biology produced the super lithium battery, Zheng Li, as the head of the research and development team, single-handedly managed the research and development of the super lithium battery, which also made a lot of headlines in the Lion City media.

Therefore, people in Lion City know Zheng Li and Kechuang Biotech very well, including the treatment, benefits and team style of Kechuangbio's Lion City R&D Center, and they are also familiar with graduates of Lion City National University and Nanyang Technological University.

After all, many seniors work in it.

Basically, the first ideal company for graduates of the Department of Biology of Lion City National and Nanyang Technological University must be Kechuang Bio.

This time recruiting graduates from the Department of Mathematics and Department of Astronomy, Kechuangbiology set the threshold very high. As long as you have a doctorate, you also need to answer the generalized partial differential equation test paper given by Zheng Li on the spot.

The standards are high, and that doesn't stop the enthusiasm of job seekers.

Not only Ph.D. graduates and prospective Ph.D. graduates from Lion City National and Nanyang Technological University submitted their resumes.

Many people from Lion City and China who are studying abroad are submitting their resumes, hoping to join Kechuang Bio.

There are not too few Chinese people in the Lion City. After all, there are enough Chinese here, and the living habits and customs are relatively close to those of Huaguo.

The Lion City is one of the top options on the consideration list for Chinese immigrants.

As soon as Lion City officials knew about the actions of Sci-Chuang Biology, Chen Yongcai came to him again:

"Mr. Zheng, long time no see."

"Before we approached you, it was precisely because of the magic coin project, but at that time this matter was still in the confidential stage."

"You didn't agree at the time. Who would have thought that the existence of magic would become known to the whole world after a year."
