"What are you doing?!" Chen Ya quickly wiped the saliva from his chin with his sleeve.
Gu Yuqing narrowed her eyes, her expression subtle, as if she was still unsatisfied, or as if she had eaten sand in a scallop.
"Did you not shave?"
“It was a bit of a rush when we came out.”
"It pricked my tongue, look."
Gu Yuqing stuck out her pink tongue and showed it to Chen Ya.
Chen Ya felt that her expression was not good, so he pulled her chin to help her close her mouth.
"Serves you right. I didn't grow my beard for others to eat."
“Unsatisfactory service, bad review!”
"We are deeply sorry. Please choose another store next time."
Gu Yuqing raised her eyebrows: "Do you really want me to choose another one next time?"
Chen Ya immediately said, "Forget it. Other companies may not be able to serve you with their qualifications. Let me do it. I will improve next time."
Gu Yuqing had an expression that said, "You little brat, can't I cure you?" She relaxed her shoulders and lay on the chair, revealing her fair and tender chest and straight collarbone under her V-neck.
"So why did you call me out?" Chen Ya asked, "It's not just to give me a bite, is it?"
Gu Yuqing said: "It's mainly because I want to bite you. Now that the main thing is done, let's talk about the secondary things."
After a pause, she said, "Donghuang Seven Stars Company has established a new studio and has begun developing an open world game."
Chen Ya was too lazy to complain about how Gu Yuqing's brain worked to make her unable to distinguish the primary from the secondary. He chose to get straight to the point.
"How much inside information do you know?" he asked.
"I don't know much right now. I might visit their new studio later to learn more. All I know right now is that they've invested at least 2 billion in this game, and the field is exactly the same as the game you're planning."
Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and continued, "Two-dimensional, open world, the investment is greater than yours, and it's faster than yours in terms of project establishment."
Chen Ya was silent for a while and said, "It's okay."
"I knew you would say that." Gu Yuqing slapped the table, "This time it's different from 'Sheep and Sheep', there really is something going on!"
The gaming field is where the 80/20 rule is most vividly reflected. The gap between the top and the bottom can be said to be a world of difference.
The 80/20 rule means that the top 20% of companies earn 80% of the total profits.
This means that in the gaming industry, competitors are enemies of enemies, and it is a life-and-death struggle.
Especially in the same field, the first thing to consider when making games is "competition in the same field." This is because the gaming market does not need two similar games.
If two games have the same style and gameplay, the market will implement the 80/20 rule in the two games. Either you play 20 and I play 80, or you play 80 and I play 20. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
Although it was already known that the Donghuang Seven Stars wanted to do a second tour, Gu Yuqing thought that the Donghuang Seven Stars had never done a second tour before. According to their nature, it would definitely take a long time to conduct research and evaluation.
By the time their game was officially launched, Chen Ya's game development progress had already been accelerated.
The first to strike is the strongest. There are first-mover advantages in the gaming field, and players are loyal to games. As long as one side seizes the market first, the impact of other games coming out will be limited on their own games.
I didn't expect that this time the action would be so fast.
"I said it's okay," Chen Ya continued calmly, "I want to know, what are you worried about?"
"You..." Gu Yuqing was choked for a moment.
Anyone who has worked on games would understand what she was worried about. She was a little confused about whether Chen Ya knew how to make games.
"First of all, common sense is that just because a project is established doesn't mean it will be completed first," Chen Ya said slowly. "The production cycle of a project depends on factors such as the project size and project management level. It doesn't necessarily mean that the first project to be established will be completed first."
"That's true, but they started the project first, so their progress is definitely faster than ours." Gu Yuqing said with a straight face.
"Secondly," Chen Ya continued slowly, picking up where he left off, "Who said they started the project first?"
"ah?"
"The 'Original Demon Project' has been underway for a long time," Chen Ya said. "It started on the first day the company was established, even before we went to your place to solicit investment. We've done a lot of preparatory work."
Gu Yuqing blushed immediately and stammered, "Ah, uh, oh...but, their investment is more than ours..."
"How much did they invest? Over 2 billion, right?" Chen Ya asked. "Open-world games don't require that much investment. How much did 'Wild Tales' cost? 800 million. The most expensive game so far, 'Grand Theft Auto 5', only cost 1.7 billion."
After a pause, he added, "High costs mean piling up resources, and piling up resources means a long development cycle. If they really spend 2 billion yuan, by the time their game is finished, it will be too late."
Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "Although your words are not very convincing, at least they give me some comfort."
"If you don't believe me, come with me to the company tomorrow and you'll understand. Coincidentally, a group of new employees we've recruited will also start their posts tomorrow, so I'll just show you how we operate."
Gu Yuqing nodded, feeling a little more at ease. She placed her hand on the back of Chen Ya's hand and said, "Will you stay with me for a while today?"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm in a bad mood. It's a bit stuffy here. I feel like I'm going to explode." Gu Yuqing put her hand on her chest. "Don't ask me why I'm in a bad mood, and don't say you're busy or anything like that. This is very important!"
