#Give Me A Bed, I Can Survive The Whole Game#
Qian Yue has a disease—laziness.
While others are fearfully collecting items, she is leisurely taking a nap.
Qian Yue: "What...
Qianyue: "...You're not livestreaming to sell goods, what do you need a livestream for?"
Qian Chi coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry about it. I have my reasons for doing this."
He wanted to hide it from her, but also wanted her to help him with something? How could such a good thing happen?
Qianyue uttered an "oh" and made a move to go upstairs. "Then you'll have to be on your own."
Qian Chi quickly stopped her: "Don't, sister!"
Qianyue paused for a moment, leaning back on the sofa bored, looking at him quietly without saying a word.
Qian Chi insisted on looking into her eyes for two seconds, but he finally gave in.
"Okay, okay, I said it's not okay."
He turned around and took out a business plan from his bag and handed it to Qianyue. The latter was a little indifferent at first, but after taking it and glancing at it, her eyes changed instantly.
Qianyue frowned: "You want to set up your own studio?"
Qian Chi corrected her: "To be precise, I'm just making an initial investment. Once the studio is on track, I'll just take the dividends."
Qianyue:?
She felt his idea was a bit unrealistic. "After starting a business, you want to just sit back and do nothing? Are you playing house or doing charity for your partners?"
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Even if she had no experience in entrepreneurship, she knew that the early stages were the hardest. But this child, on the other hand, planned to withdraw after the most difficult period.
What about experiencing life?
Qian Chi chuckled, "Don't worry, these things are clearly written in the contract. Just think of it as practice. I have my own plans."
Qianyue: “…”
She turned two more pages. Although she didn't know much about business, she had to admit that Qian Chi's business plan looked quite presentable.
It seems that this guy really put a lot of thought into it.
Qianyue pondered for a moment and asked, "Do my parents know?"
Qian Chi hummed, "I talked to them about this before you came back. I was planning to go out and try my luck before Dad retires, but I hadn't decided what I wanted to do yet, so I didn't tell you."
Qianyue nodded in her heart as she listened, she still agreed with this matter.
Unlike Qianyue who has no interest in business at all, Qianchi has been trained as a successor since he was a child and will take over family affairs in the future. He is well aware of this and has been working hard.
After all, when the parents get old, the family business cannot be left idle. If Qianyue is unwilling to take over, then we can only rely on Qianchi.
But if we suddenly leave the company to him and ask him to run it, my family probably won't be at ease. It would be better to let him go out and try it on his own.
Qianyue tapped the armrest of the sofa with her index finger and said thoughtfully, "So you plan to go home after you set up your own studio?"
Qian Chi nodded.
Qianyue sneered, he really went to experience life.
But it's good to experience it.
Qian Chi: "But my parents said I have to earn the startup capital myself, and they won't let me ask people around for sponsorship. So after thinking it over, I still think that a game studio is more suitable for starting from scratch."
When talking about what he wanted to do, Qian Chi immediately became interested and pulled Qian Yue to talk non-stop:
"It's now a foregone conclusion that 'Ten Day Plan' will be a huge hit. Although this closed beta test has deleted files, we've already figured out the formula and are confident we can start over after the official launch."
"It's just that running a business is easy to get started, but if you want to expand it, you still need to use your brain more. For example, if you can find a suitable publicity channel..."
Qian Chi chuckled, "What do you think, sister?"
Oh my god, Qianyue now understood. It turned out that this person wanted to use her live broadcast room to show off his popularity and build his own reputation.
The abacus is quite loud.
She glanced at Qian Chi with a half-smile and said, "Your parents don't allow you to get sponsorship, so you set your sights on my live broadcast room?"
Qian Chi blinked and said, "You are my biological sister after all. Of course, making money like this should be left to our family. As long as you agree, I will give you shares when the time comes."
Qianyue doesn't care about his small share.
She threw Qian Chi's business plan back on the table. "From what I understand, the business of game studios is mainly about boosting and reselling merchandise and props. Have you ever considered that, while this is easy to get started with, it's difficult to achieve breakthroughs?"
The name "game studio" sounds nice, but it has nothing to do with real game development. It would be more appropriate to say that it makes a living by playing games.
From a cost perspective, all you need is a game, a machine to log in to the game, and time. Compared to other startup funds that can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars, it's no exaggeration to say it's "zero cost."
“But can you guarantee that all your investment will pay off?”
"Can you be sure that every game you choose will be a hit? And that you can make money from it? Moreover, this industry itself is a gray area. What if you are targeted by developers?"
Qian Chi was confident: "Don't worry about that. I've already thought about all these things. Since I dare to use this to practice, I naturally have to give you a satisfactory answer."
Qian Chi thought that he had said enough, but when he turned around, he found that Qian Yue was still maintaining the same posture, looking at him calmly.
Qianyue: "Go on."
Well, it looks like Qianyue is serious about this.
In order to make Qianyue believe that he was not joking, Qianchi had to continue to explain in depth.
His eyes rolled. "Let me give you an example. Take the game 'Ten Day Plan' for example. Why did it become so popular even during the closed beta? Was it hype?"
He paused at the right moment, looking at Qianyue eagerly, waiting for her answer.
——However, Qianyue looked at him expressionlessly.
Qian Chi was frustrated: "...at least you should cooperate. I'm asking you some leading questions, otherwise it will be difficult for me to lay the groundwork."
“…”
There are so many ways to explain a planning proposal...
Not sure which of his family members Qian Chi inherited his eccentric personality from. Qian Yue couldn't help but rub her temples, feeling a bit of a headache. "Stop the prelude and get straight to the point."
...Okay.
Qian Chi: "The current audience of holographic games is mainly young people. To target this group, we plan to mainly engage in prop sales and legal power leveling. However, when the conditions are relaxed later, we plan to start tourism services for vulnerable groups."
"Sightseeing tour?"
Qianyue was thoughtful after hearing this.
Qian Chi said seriously, "As you know, many elderly people cannot withstand interstellar travel due to the deterioration of their physical functions, not to mention the many more who cannot go out freely for various reasons."
He paused and said, "This one happens to overlap with the target audience of our own business."
"On the other hand, even if you want to go out for fun, most people can only go to well-developed tourist attractions, and they can't have a good time at all—I mean most people, not you."
Qianyue: "...Thank you, I know."
Nature is fair: the more breathtaking the scenery, the more danger it carries. People like Qianyue, who are used to traveling, have a deep understanding of this.
The scenic area is certainly convenient and safe, but with the influx of people and the improvement of various modern facilities, it has lost some of its charm.
Qian Chi became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling. "But if it's a holographic game, there won't be so many restrictions."
He said enthusiastically, "No matter how dangerous the place is, there's no need to worry about any accidents—at most, it's just a matter of running to the resurrection point. Even the disadvantaged or game newbies can check in everywhere."
"We generally call those who don't do missions and just play for fun "retirement players." It can be said that all the disadvantaged groups in the universe who can afford nutrition cabins are our potential customers."
The Qian family is engaged in high-tech medical care, and it has dozens, if not hundreds, of cooperating hospitals and sanatoriums. Although Qian's father and mother said that they would not provide him with any help, it would be a different matter if Qian Chi could negotiate with those institutions on his own.
"But then again—" He paused, and suddenly fell back, leaning comfortably on the sofa.
If Qianyue hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have probably put his feet up on the coffee table in a show of pride.
"The real profit point of the game still lies in the main story and expansion packs. Developers can't design a game just for the purpose of tourism."
Qianyue sensed that he was about to say something outrageous, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "So?"
Qian Chi: "So we plan to cooperate with game companies to set up a travel line. Our clients will be nursing homes and the like. Of course, we'll also accept separate tours."
…
For ordinary people who run a game studio, even if they think of making money by serving other players, it is estimated that at most they can be "training" or "playing for others". For this kind of business, as long as the skills are good, even an individual can take orders.
But Qian Chi is different.
His appetite was much greater.
He wants to rebuild a complete industrial chain based on games.
He outlined his plan again, and even the specific name of the sanatorium was almost decided. He was waiting to visit and negotiate after the server was launched.
Qian Chi used to love playing online games, but because he always performed well, his family didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as a hobby for him to pass the time.
But unexpectedly, Qian Chi could come up with new ideas when playing a game. After listening to him talk so clearly, Qian Yue's originally uneasy heart suddenly leaned towards him 70% to 80%.
According to Qian Chi, although the business he wants to run in this studio is not within the scope of his own company, there is overlap in the business objects.
Just like the popularization of computers in the past, holographic technology will be the general trend in the future. Perhaps one day in the future, as the first person to try it out, he may be able to use it to expand new business for his own company.
When she thought of this, Qianyue immediately reacted.
No wonder he could so easily say that he would not care about anything else after making the initial investment. It turned out that he had planned it all along.
Qianyue: "But..."
Qian Chi: "But what?"
Qianyue sneered and stared at him closely, "Uncle Zhong wouldn't tell you where I went, so you went to their company today too?"
“This, this…”
Qian Chi suddenly felt guilty and subconsciously turned his head away to avoid Qian Yue's gaze, but he was ultimately defeated.
He coughed lightly, his will to survive was extremely strong: "Don't get me wrong, it really was just a coincidence. I was planning to go to discuss business this afternoon, but I happened to see Qi Feng sending you to the car."
He was so familiar with the family car that he could spot it even from across the street. He was so shocked that he froze in place, and someone even pushed him.
"But don't worry, I visited him in the name of my partner, and I haven't told him about our relationship yet."
Qianyue: “…”
Still too young.
When it comes to blind dates, the first step is to rely on word of mouth from the elders, digging up all the information about both parties. Qian Chi's face must have been remembered by everyone for a long time.
Qianyue couldn't help but light a candle for her brother in her heart, hoping that his project wouldn't be blamed on her_(:з」∠)_
After a pause, Qianyue asked casually, "So how did your talk go?"
Qian Chi: "That's great. The Ten Day Plan will be officially launched soon. If nothing goes wrong, they'll sign a contract with us directly for their next infrastructure game."
Qianyue grasped the key words——
"It was a good talk."
In other words, after the conversation, Qi Feng was in a good mood?
Qianyue nodded in understanding and made a summary.
"Since you already have a plan in mind, I won't say anything too much. Just do what you want to do. As long as it's not against the law, your family will support you."
"But let me be frank. Personal relationships are personal relationships, and cooperation is cooperation. It's your own studio. If you want to do something, you should discuss it with the other party yourself. If I find out that you're using my name to ask for benefits from others—"
Qianyue sneered: "Just wash your neck clean and wait for a beating."
Qian Chi was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat: "...Sister, it's not that serious. I was just joking. I won't say such things again in the future."
Qianyue pondered, "Also, since my parents have told you to be self-reliant, I can't help you so blatantly. Let's talk about the live broadcast after we meet in the game."
Qian Chi: “Ah?!”
Isn't that the same as before?! So all the things he said were for nothing?!
"No, sister, please think about it again--"
Qian Chi wanted to say something more, to try to gain a chance for himself, but Qian Yue picked up the cardboard box and went straight back to the room, walking so fast as if she had something urgent to do. In the end, Qian Chi was ruthlessly locked outside.
Qianyue: "That's it, don't bother me if there's nothing else."
Qian Chi: “…”
He stared at the closed door in front of him for a long time, then shook his head and sighed faintly, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up."
The first thing Bu Zhongliu did after entering the room was to rescue the two camels from the cardboard box and solemnly placed them at the head of his bed. Then he took a deep breath.
He flipped through the dialog box between the two of them.
The conversation in the picture still remained at the part where Qi Feng invited her to the company building.
At that time, Qianyue felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the other party's attitude. Now that she thought about it, the other party was obviously making excuses for her own little thoughts.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like an attempt to cover up something makes it even more obvious.
"well."
If only she had realized it sooner.
Qianyue sighed and was wondering what to do when she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that the other person's name in the dialog box had suddenly changed.
——“The other party is typing”
Hmm? Typing?
Qianyue suddenly became energetic.
But she waited and waited, but no message came. Instead, the dialog box switched back and forth between "Qi Feng" and "The other party is typing", with the intervals sometimes short and sometimes long.
Is this... entangled?
Suddenly realizing that the other party seemed to be even more at a loss than herself, Qianyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this moment, the anxiety in my heart suddenly faded away a lot, and was replaced by a wonderful feeling of pleasure.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be typing, pausing, and typing non-stop, Qianyue couldn't help but send a message.
Qianyue: "Are you there? I have a question for you."
The other party replied immediately: "?"
The other party withdrew.
Qi Feng: "Please speak."
He was clearly extremely nervous, yet he still forced himself to withdraw and pretend to be polite and distant. This person is really...
Kind of cute.
Qianyue paused, then finally wrote in the input box with a smile:
"Sorry, I'm a little slow to react. Is it too late to comfort you now?"
