Chapter 328 Then Let Me Go to GOG Too!

Seeing that Pei Qian's face was pale, and there was no expression of approval or relief on his face, Ma Yang suddenly felt a little uncertain.

"Brother Qian, don't you blame me for spending too much money?"

"Do you think it's not worth investing so much money in a small foreign company?"

Pei Qian: "..."

Looking at the sincere eyes of the old horse, Pei Qian was at a loss for words.

How do you say this...

It was Pei Qian who told the old horse to take action when it was time to do so, without hesitation;

It was also Pei Qian who made Lao Ma vote for whatever he liked.

Playing "Shen Qi" is one of Lao Ma's few hobbies. Lao Ma couldn't vote for "Shen Qi", so he had to settle for the next best thing, find a foreign company that makes similar games to vote for, and immediately Put all 20 million into it.

From all aspects, Lao Ma has listened to Pei Qian's words.

Moreover, this seems to be a rather unreliable transaction, which is very in line with Pei Qian's original intention.

But Pei Qian is suffering, the company's sense of sight is too strong!

Is this IOI the changed LOL?

The reason why Pei Qian felt unexpected about this was mainly because he had checked similar information on the Internet last year!

According to my original memory, Riot Games was supposed to be established around 2006. In 2008, it raised $8 million and brought in three investors.

As for the subsequent acquisition by Penguin with an additional 200 million dollars, that was in 2011.

According to memory, LOL was launched in 2009.

The time now is already November of 2010.

It stands to reason that the $8 million financing at that time should have been completed long ago?

Pei Qian searched for similar news on the Internet last year, but couldn't find it.

At that time, he didn't think too much about it, thinking that this was just another manifestation of the changes in the world. After all, even Station B has become Ellis Island, and it is normal for other companies to undergo some changes.

Pei Qian didn't take it too seriously, after all, the company was far overseas, and his news was not that well-informed.

Now Pei Qian finally understands why he didn't find it last year.

Because both the company name and the game name have changed, from Riot to Finger, from LOL to IOI, Pei Qian searched by the original name, of course nothing can be found.

Moreover, the entire timeline has been postponed for two years. Last year, the company was probably just established. It was just a start-up company. How could there be too much information on the Internet?

Pei Qian has always been curious about what the MOBA games in this world will be like.

I never expected that I finally found out the answer to this matter today, but in such an absurd way...

However, Pei Qian looked at the system panel and found that there has been no obvious change.

The shares worth more than 2 million knives should be the same as that villa, they are all special assets belonging to the company, and they should definitely be displayed on the system panel.

This may be because the share acquisition is still in progress and has not gone through all the procedures, so it has not been officially displayed on the system.

Many thoughts flashed quickly in Pei Qian's mind.

Facing the old horse's sincere eyes, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Criticize him? It doesn't seem to make sense. Lao Ma followed his instructions completely, without any compromise.

The 20 million yuan smashed into a small foreign company is very in line with the style of Yuanmeng Venture Capital, and it is not appropriate to throw the blame on Ma Yang!

Praise him? Well, it really should be praised, this kind of investment belongs to the kind of deeds that can be boasted for a lifetime.

But... Pei Qian really can't boast.

Pei Qian took a few deep breaths and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay, you've done a good job."

"However, there may not be any extra funds in the near future. Ma, you can take everyone to work and play games casually every day, and wait for my next news."

Pei Qian stood up, ready to leave.

He couldn't stay in this sad place for a second.

Ma Yang raised his hand: "Hey, Brother Qian, why don't you come to experience a high-end game? I'm a master with 1900 points!"

Pei Qian: "..."

Ma Yang said again: "For the meal on Saturday night, I contacted the store manager Lin directly, is there any problem?"

Pei Qian: "..."

Still have the face to eat my meal!

Unable to speak, he could only raise his hand with his back to Ma Yang to make an "OK" gesture, and then left without looking back.

...

...

Back at Tenda Games, Pei Qian sat down in his office.

I have already thought about life, and then I have to think about how to deal with this emergency.

It was completely beyond Pei Qian's expectation that such a moth happened at the very beginning of the cycle.

Buying more than 20% of the shares and obtaining the exclusive agency rights of IOI in China is basically a done deal. It is impossible to terminate the investment, and it is impossible to transfer these newly purchased shares.

Because there is really no valid reason.

How about selling it later? At that time, the valuation of the finger company will definitely rise rapidly, and this sale will inevitably make a lot of money.

What's more, after Pei Qian thought about it carefully, the shares could not be sold at all.

Selling it halfway is stupid!

If Finger Company can really develop to the scale that Pei Qian imagined, not to mention the shares, just the exclusive domestic agency rights can be called a cash cow.

Mr. Pei really regards making money as dung, but if there is too much dung... it is impossible to ignore it.

If IOI can earn more than one billion or two billion dollars a year in the future, then no matter how the wealth conversion ratio is adjusted, the converted personal property will still be a large amount of money.

If it's just a small profit of a few million, it really doesn't mean much to Pei Qian, but if it's a profit of several billion, things are completely different.

Moreover, just imagine, will you be able to produce heroes and exclusive skins named after yourself in the future?

If you think about it that way, it’s still quite exciting!

If this situation really happens, then for Pei Qian, doing nothing and lying down to make money seems to be a good strategy.

The large sum of system funds earned can also be used for logistics and physical stores to give back to the society.

Earning money from foreigners to repay the motherland is a good young man with real roots and positive Miaohong.

Of course, then again, it's not so sure.

The whole world is different, and the company and game name are different from what Pei Qian remembers. Who can guarantee that IOI will be as successful as LOL?

Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will have to be three or four years later.

During this period, many rounds of promotions and the joint efforts of many people will be needed to achieve dominance in the global game market.

What will happen in three or four years, who can say for sure?

The distance can't quench the near thirst. Even if he can really make money lying down in three or four years, it won't affect Pei Qian's current development strategy.

In short, in the long run, this share and exclusive agency rights must be kept.

If you dislike making money in the near future, then find a way to spend it suddenly, do logistics, warehousing, and public welfare... Anyway, spending it in a different way is equivalent to benefiting society.

Come to think of it, it doesn't seem that bad.

The hope of losing money has not been completely cut off.

Moreover, Pei Qian thought about it, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.

"Just right, I can take this opportunity to hedge the risk!"

"Since the world already has an IOI, does that mean that the future winners have already been determined?"

"Then if I make another MOBA game myself, won't it be inevitable?"

"Then it will become a bottomless pit. Just put as much money into it as you want!"

Pei Qian suddenly discovered the New World, which can be said to be another village!

If IOI is destined to sweep the world in the future, and the excellent quality of "Shenqi" can withstand it, other end-game MOBAs may soon suffer heavy casualties and become escorts.

That being the case, if Tenda is also making a MOBA game, wouldn’t it be sure to fail?

Spend 50 million first, and then spend another 50 million if the situation is not good. In the end, the game hit the street because it was unable to resist the tide of IOI, so all these research and development funds were in vain...

Isn't it beautiful?

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was reliable!

Originally, a budget of 50 million yuan was reserved for Tenda's game department, and he was worried about how to spend it.

Now don't worry, you have a goal!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian hurriedly called Li Yada over.

"There's a new game, just remember it."

Li Yada quickly took out the notebook from his pocket: "Okay, Mr. Pei, tell me."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Have you ever played "Shen Qi"? Just follow that and make a similar one."

"In terms of name... let's call it GOG, Glory of Gods, the glory of God."

Pei Qian felt that there were LOL, IOI, COC and WOW, and there were really not many letters available.

That being the case, let's call it GOG. In fact, there is no special meaning. I just hope that this game can strive to play GG as soon as possible.

Li Yada is still waiting.

After waiting for a minute, she asked with some doubts, "That's it?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."

Anyway, it's just made to burn money at random, so go ahead and mess around.

Li Yada thought for a while: "However, if we copied the words of "Shen Qi", isn't it... something wrong?"

"Although the law does not protect the gameplay, if you do it too similarly, you will definitely be scolded."

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, it makes sense."

After all, President Pei's goal is only to lose money, and not to tarnish the reputation of himself and the company. It is really unnecessary to attract such scolding.

"Since that's the case, then you can change it casually."

"Anyway, it's changed beyond recognition, so that players don't feel that we are plagiarizing."

"In the first version, more than 20 heroes were released to play casually, and the development cycle was four months."

"The budget is 50 million yuan. If it's not enough, I can add it later."

Li Yada was taken aback: "Huh? So much?...I'm afraid it won't last."

Is it okay if you can't finish the flowers?

Pei Qian was a little unhappy, his employees didn't know how to show their subjective initiative at all.

Pei Qian said with a bit of resentment: "How do you spend money and want me to teach you?"

"Small more art resources, models, actions, story backgrounds, details..."

Li Yada looked down at the small book with some embarrassment: "But... Mr. Pei, if it's just a picture and more than 20 heroes, the money for art really doesn't cost that much..."

Pei Qian: "..."

If you think about it carefully, this is really the case.

Because of the existence of the RSRO official resource station, the cost of developing games in this world has been reduced a lot.

It is indeed a bit difficult to spend a budget of 50 million on just one map and more than 20 heroes within four months.

What's the matter?

Pei Qian thought for a while, is there any other MOBA game experience that can be used for reference?

There are quite a lot of failed MOBA games, but the failure of many games is due to poor gameplay, too many program bugs, or insufficient promotion?

This is really not clear.

After deliberation, Pei Qian came up with a good direction.

A game that has been tested since its research and development, and never dared to officially operate.

Because once it is officially in operation, it will be accused of bankruptcy in an instant.

Pei Qian felt that he should also be able to learn this kind of advanced experience!

Of course, copyright must not be free.

The copyright of whoring for free cannot be officially operated, and if the settlement cannot be made in two cycles, the system will be shut down by Mr. Pei.

But what if you bought all those copyrights?

How much does that cost!

No need to worry about running out of money!

As long as you keep buying copyrights, no matter how much money you invest, it won't be enough to make it.

Pei Qian thought it was a good idea: "Then buy an IP!"

"Whether it's domestic or foreign, if there is any character IP that you like, just buy some, no matter how high or low, if you can do it in the game, do it for him in the game."

"Oh, let's forget about those hot IPs that can only be bought for millions of dollars, just buy more cheap IPs."

It costs a lot of money to buy characters with big IPs to make them in the game, and even some particularly big IPs may not be bought even if you have money.

But buying this kind of big IP, the hidden danger is also very big, for example... What if it attracts a large number of fans and gives the game a super high reputation?

Moreover, the bigger the IP, the more troubles the parent company has. Pei Qian doesn't want to have to negotiate contract details with some big foreign companies all day long just to buy an IP.

Therefore, Pei Qian's idea is to pick up trash desperately.

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, just find those IP characters that are outdated or that no one cares about, and buy them all with the mentality of picking up garbage, put them in the game, and then design skills according to the characteristics of the characters.

For those that are not in line with the style of the game, you should make an agreement with the copyright owner in advance, and you can spend another amount of money if you invite an art master to do a second creation.

In this way, wouldn't the money be spent quickly?

Moreover, buying these rubbish IPs is the same as not buying them, and will not significantly drive traffic, and the price/performance ratio is so low that it will explode.

Li Yada still has doubts, after all, this is the first project she really leads after becoming the chief planner.

However, Pei Qian waved his hand: "Okay, let's do this first, you can think up ideas casually first. Don't ask me everything, I'm afraid it will affect your own thinking."

Li Yada squeezed her fingers: "Okay, okay Boss Pei."

Turning around to leave Boss Pei's office, Li Yada thought in her heart that this task is a bit too heavy, especially since she herself is not good at games like "Shen Qi".

After much deliberation, it should be impossible to improve the game level of "Shenqi" in the short term.

It seems that they can only turn to Bao Xu for help in private.
