Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 122
Soon, Zhang Li pushed open the door and entered.

Holding the report in his hand, he handed it to Liu Wei: "Mr. Liu is here, this is the driving plan and accommodation plan, please take a look."

Liu Wei took it and glanced at it roughly.

"Only 15? So cheap?"

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, this has been handled according to business specifications."

Oh?
Liu Wei lowered his head again and looked carefully.

There are more than 30 people in the company, and all travel involves air tickets, which cost over 2000 round-trip. We even get some discounts because of group purchases.

Liu Wei took a look and found that the air ticket price from Qingzhou to Hangzhou was even cheaper than the high-speed rail.

The accommodation fee is 288 per person per night for a double suite and 576 for a double room.

And because there were enough staff staying, the hotel even gave us a discount.

Even if you add in meal expenses and various other miscellaneous expenses, it's still just over 15.

Liu Weizai looked carefully several times and found no place where he could add money. In the end, he could only fill in a small amount for travel expenses.

"With so many of us, how can we keep working as taxis? Then rent a few commercial vehicles and let them go wherever they want."

Zhang Li nodded and silently wrote it down.

As soon as Zhang Li was about to leave, she heard Liu Wei shouting: "That's not right. Didn't I say that I would recruit a new group of employees? Why didn't I include them?"

"Just because they haven't officially joined the company yet doesn't mean they are not considered regular employees. We must also provide them with corresponding benefits."

Thirty employees can cost 15, and according to Liu Wei's plan, thirty more employees can be hired this time.

This is a total cost of 30 yuan, so how can you not worry about it.

Liu Wei looked at Zhang Li with dangerous eyes.

Good boy, do you want to save me some money?
Zhang Li explained: "Mr. Liu, it's not that I don't want to count, but we haven't held a job fair yet, and none of the new employees have joined yet."

Liu Wei nodded suddenly, maybe because he was a little confused after being hit by the system in the past few days.

I have forgotten that the job fair has not started yet, let alone the new employees.

"Forget it, let's arrange the old employees first."

Looking at Zhang Li's leaving figure, Liu Wei felt a little heartbroken.

15 was lost like this~
But we can't wait for new employees to join the job, because the "Hangzhou Game Exchange Conference" is only one month long.

I waited until the new employees were hired and the day lilies were already cold.

……

It didn’t take long for Ultimate Company to spread the news that they were going to Hangzhou to exchange learning experiences with each other.

Liu Wei didn't want to hide this kind of thing, and he couldn't hide it either.

Because buying air tickets and booking hotels requires verification of employee ID information.

Various discussions in the employee group:

"I heard that some of our students are going to Hangzhou to study this time, and their identity information has been collected."

"Ah, doesn't it mean that you will be promoted directly when you come back?"

"No, don't you guys have any news? This time everyone is going."

"How much will it cost to go all of them... Anyway, I won't go at my own expense."

"It seems that Mr. Liu is going to talk about a project, and by the way, he took us there to learn from the experience of the famous information enterprise group."

"Which information enterprise group?"

"Who else, the one who made his fortune by plagiarizing..."

"Forget it, just treat it as a trip."

"Don't underestimate Xenqi Group. Although they started by plagiarizing, they have a very good understanding of the user psychology of players. I guess Mr. Liu asked us to learn krypton gold techniques this time." Even so, the employees are still very Excited.

It doesn't matter whether they communicate or not. The important thing is that as programmers, they often sit in front of the computer for a whole day.

Although the treatment of Ultimate Company is not bad, it can even be said to be the conscience of the industry.

But these people don't have extra time to travel, so they basically just wander around Qingzhou.

This time there was an opportunity to travel with public funds, and most of the employees were very excited.

……

Hangzhou.

Information Enterprise Group.

Ji Jicong looked at the message in his hand with disbelief on his face:
"Ultimate Technology is coming here to discuss cooperation with us?"

"What are you kidding?"

In the game industry, although it is not impossible for studios to communicate with each other and promote cooperation, it is not uncommon.

But generally the relationship is between the developer and the publisher.

One is responsible for game development, and the other is responsible for game sales and operations.

This is also the first time that Ultimate Technology has come all the way to discuss cooperation with others.

Ji Jicong couldn't help but ask the assistant girl next to him: "What? The company recently had another game whose profit did not meet expectations and is it ready to be sold?"

Ji Jicong is talking about a common situation in the gaming industry.

This situation most often occurs between agents, that is, after the game is put into operation.

The original agency felt that the profit data did not meet the target. After obtaining the developer's consent, it transferred the agency rights to other agencies and got out of the situation in time.

The assistant girl flipped through the information, shook her head and said: "Manager Ji, the data of the recent games are very good, and I have no idea of ​​changing agents for the time being."

Ji Jicong: "This is strange. Then why are they here? If they want to participate in the 'exchange meeting', they can just go directly. Why do they have to come to our company?"

Assistant: "Manager Ji, they seem to be here to discuss FPS game agency rights with us."

Ji Jicong was even more confused: "FPS game agency rights? We just bought 'God of Battlefield', and I have never heard that the company wants to sell the agency rights for this game!"

The assistant girl didn't know either: "I don't know either. Anyway, the headquarters agreed."

"Oh, that's right!" the assistant girl added: "The other side has produced phenomenal games such as "Mountain Simulator", "Legend of Weiwei Immortality", and "Bad Life".

When Ji Jicong heard this, he immediately understood.

How smart he is. As a veteran employee of Xunqi Group, Ji Jicong knows exactly what his superiors want.

For example, this exchange with Ultimate Group was superficially about the agency issue of "God of Battlefield".

In fact, the two studios are communicating and cooperating to discuss how to defraud players of krypton!
Speaking of ultimate technology, Ji Jicong couldn't remember it for a while, but when it came to "Simulating Mountain", Ji Jicong understood it all at once.

This is an epic bad game that received negative reviews as soon as it was released, with a refund rate as high as 90%.

But just such a game has gradually come back to life. Not only has its reputation picked up, but its sales have even reached a new height.

This has become a textbook case in Xunqi Group.

But no matter how many people analyze it, they can’t figure out how this game is successful.

But now, the CEO of Ultimate Technology has arrived in Hangzhou in person to hold a unique exchange meeting with everyone.

It’s a good time to take this opportunity to find out what’s behind the resurrection of “Mountain Simulator”.

As for the rest of the game, Ji Jicong dismissed it.

The reasons for the success of those games can be said to be obvious at a glance, and it only takes a little analysis to draw conclusions.

Making money purely by creating happiness with heart, Xunqi Group does not need this profit model!
