Post-2000 boss: You can be late up to seven days a week!

Chapter 70 Cao Che’s true intention!
Everyone looked at Liu Guanshan with some confusion.

Liu Guanshan looked at Zhang Chen aside.

"Brother Shen, what do you think is the easiest part of our sci-fi plot game to be a hit?"

"what?"

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard Liu Guanshan's question. He didn't know how this question was related to the previous question.

But he still thought for a while and replied:
"First of all, the investment cost of this type of game is huge, and the output efficiency is extremely low. Players play this type of game because they want to relax, and they basically don't want to listen to our story, so the market response is generally not very good! "

"If anyone really wants to hear a story, why not just go see the movie?"

In fact, this is also a major dilemma in the current game industry.

Various mobile games are emerging one after another, and some even only offer gift packs worth six yuan and one yuan, which will catch a wave of players and run away.

Game companies, on the other hand, are naturally eager to invest in projects that can turn hundreds of thousands into millions of profits.

So they joined the army of this kind of shit industry one after another, producing this kind of game in an assembly line style.

The survival environment of companies that can afford to polish the game itself is worrying. The entire market is still in a situation where bad money drives out good money, so naturally they are unable to make ends meet.

Either they go bankrupt or they have to join in.

Over time, almost no companies will make this type of game.

Even the plot games on the market are generally light plot games about love.

The general plot flow will only last about half an hour to an hour.

As for the more than seven or eight hours required by Cao Che, it is even more impossible.

No one would waste such a long time on a meaningless game.

Besides, can more than 30 people make a hard science fiction game?

To be honest, even if we gave them twice as many people, they wouldn't be able to produce the quality of 3A masterpieces that foreign countries have.

Even after joining Cao Che's company, Zhang Chen still felt that this project was not feasible from the source.

As soon as he came in, he already mentioned the shortcomings of the project to Liu Guanshan.

Not to mention the veterans in his industry, even the newcomers who have been in Tengxiang for a little longer understand this truth.

It can be said that at present, their entire studio has no expectations for the establishment of this project.

Listening to Zhang Chen's answer, Liu Guanshan also nodded slightly.

He has made full use of these five days to conduct research on the entire game market.

Naturally, he understood what Zhang Chen said.

But the problem is that this is a project planned by Cao Che himself. This is the person who single-handedly planned the Three Kingdoms Killing!

Huge amounts of art, almost zero-cost promotion, and extremely conscientious pricing that only sells the game itself.

This was all planned by him.

Every process is intertwined, and if there is a slight discrepancy in the middle, it will probably be a huge blow to the company.

This courage, courage, shrewdness and planning are enough to illustrate Cao Che's strength.

Therefore, Cao Che must have a reason for doing this!
Thinking of this, Liu Guanshan silently moved a stool and sat down.

I started sorting out with everyone about Cao Che’s recent instructions.

"First of all, Mr. Cao asked us to play games all the time at work. He not only wanted us to experience the process and fun of the game, but also to discover the imbalances in the game!"

"More importantly, they also set up a bonus incentive plan for us according to our rank. Doesn't that make us experience the boredom of getting higher scores?"

After listening to Liu Guanshan's explanation, everyone still looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"But...are these two issues related?"

"That's right! Aren't the two independent projects?"

"And we are making a science fiction story game. Shouldn't the problem now be that there is no market for this game?"

Liu Guanshan looked at the confused people in front of him and shook his head firmly. "How can someone like Mr. Cao, who has the overall situation in his hands, go back and play a game that is sure to kill him!"

"Moreover, from the moment I first started drawing up the plan, Mr. Cao told me that this game is not intended to make money!"

"Aren't you trying to make money?"

When Zhang Chen heard this incredible request, he looked at Liu Guanshan with a strange expression.

Only Pang Panghai, who was familiar with Cao Che, nodded.

"That's right! This is indeed Brother Che's style!"

"Fortunately, Sister Luo followed me out, otherwise I would have made Brother Che mad again after hearing this..."

"Brother Che's style is still as unpredictable as ever..."

Zhang Chen looked at Pang Panghai and the others who had very dull reactions in front of them, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"If this game doesn't make money...what will happen to the company's operations?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's complaints, the three people in front of him were also stunned.

"Σ(°△°|||)︴"

After a while, only Pang Panghai nodded silently and looked at Zhang Chen seriously.

"It's okay! Brother Che will find a way!"

Zhang Chen: "..."

Zhang Chen turned to look at Liu Guanshan who was standing aside with a gloomy face: "Um, is it still too late for me to leave now?"

From top to bottom in this company, it seems like no one is considering the operation and development of the company! ,

How unreliable is this!

Liu Guanshan shook his head, continued to look at the people in front of him and said:
"Mr. Cao first pointed out that the plot process should be long and in-depth, and then he said that it is best to be a hard science fiction! Finally, he did not want to make money!"

"Isn't this the essay that Mr. Cao gave us?"

Zhang Chen still shook his head in confusion.

Pang Panghai on the side seemed to understand something, and looked at Liu Guanshan in front of him with sudden realization.

"Guan Shan! You are saying that Brother Che is playing this game and doesn't want to make money at all!"

Liu Guanshan nodded with great satisfaction.

Xu Xiaotang on the side also asked: "Isn't that just losing money?"

She has never thought about any boss who wants his project to lose money.

"No! It's not just a matter of losing money. Brother Shen, think about it, what are the advantages of plot games compared to movies?"

Zhang Chen was suddenly stunned for a moment and began to think about himself.

"The amount of text can be more solid, the investment is smaller, and most importantly, it is more interactive. Gamers can change the flow of the plot through options. It will not have a single ending like a movie, and the audience cannot change it!"

Liu Guanshan nodded with great satisfaction and continued to ask everyone.

"Everyone should know that famous marketing case, right?"

"When Mr. Xun came to our place, didn't he just burn capital and lose money, and then used ultra-low prices compared with his peers to make us develop a habit and directly expand the entire coffee market by himself?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen understood somewhat.

Even in the gaming industry, this kind of marketing is still somewhat familiar.

"You mean, Mr. Cao wants to use this game to expand the number of game players in Kyushu???"

However, the moment he understood it, new questions followed.

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Guanshan with strange eyes.

"But the problem is, even if your game is available for free, not many people will play it, right?"
