But there's no other way, time is of the essence, I'd better get it to Brother Ma and get it done first.
Wu Manni told Chen Hua to quickly tidy up so she could take it to Little Ma. She had originally planned to let Little Ma choose one of the three, but it seemed hopeless. She could only hope that Little Ma would choose one at first glance.
"Mr. Ma, this is the project proposal for the new game."
Little Ma took a look and immediately asked a question.
"Honor of Kings? Are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong one?"
"Mr. Ma, it's like this. We studied two games by Xingchen Technology and found that their shared character modeling is a major factor in saving development time, so we thought we should do the same."
Upon hearing this, Brother Ma thought it made sense and praised it.
“Excellent, Mr. Wu, you are a thoughtful person. TX needs talents like you.”
Then Little Ma took a serious look at the proposal. It was clear that the proposal was rather mediocre, and many plot points were incomplete. Most importantly, where was the map?
Where's the map?
"Uh, this..." Wu Manni's little brain was spinning, and she quickly started to make up a story, "This... map is based on the map of the Tang Dynasty, with Chang'an City as the core, plus the birthplaces of various heroes, plus overseas, that's how it's made up, yes, that's it."
Little Ma nodded. There was no other way at the moment. Time was of the essence, especially Wu Manni's statement that sharing character models could save development time, which was what truly made him decide to proceed.
"Then get to it right away. Try to get it done as quickly as possible. Just like last time, give all the company's resources priority to your game department!"
"Received, Mr. Ma. Mission accomplished!"
With a command from Little Ma, the entire TX system sprang into action once again.
Wu Bo was about to lose his temper. He and Taobao Group Buying had been going back and forth, with neither side gaining much advantage, but Tencent suddenly notified him that the subsidies were temporarily gone.
"WTF??? How come we're out of money again?"
After he learned what had happened, he started cursing and swearing in his office.
"Has Pony Ma lost his mind? How much money can you make from games? Once Lashou.com unifies the domestic group-buying market, there's a huge gold mine waiting for us to dig."
At this moment, he opened Weibo and casually browsed the trending topics. Suddenly, he saw a trending topic: "Genshin Impact Zhongli gacha banner generates over 10 million RMB in revenue on its first day!"
Wow! This game has only been open for a few days, right? How come it's already reached ten million in just one day?
Wu Bo himself plays Genshin Impact, so he knows that there is a certain barrier to entry for playing this game.
First of all, your phone needs to have enough memory. This game is huge, and it gets bigger with each update. It's impossible for everyone to buy a new phone just for this game, right?
When smartphones first became popular, most people bought the entry-level 16GB version.
This limits a large portion of the player base.
Secondly, this game is really too grindy. If you want to break through your character's level, you have to gather materials. Heaven knows how many houses he climbed to pick Mushrooms. It feels like he could circle the earth with all the materials he collected.
Therefore, people who don't have time won't go to play.
But what makes this game so appealing is quite simple: it doesn't feel like a game at all; it feels more like an animated movie.
Especially the Zhongli PV "The Storyteller" released a few days ago, Wu Bo wanted to run to the balcony and shout loudly in the middle of the night, "The heavens and the earth are in turmoil!"
Moreover, this game is different from "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars". In Demon Wars, you can buy a skin for a few dozen yuan, or a hundred or two for a more expensive one. It's a one-time purchase. So after the first day's revenue, everyone who wanted to buy it had already done so, and the subsequent revenue was low.
However, in this game, the gacha pools have an expiration period, and you can slowly save up Primogems. Many people rely on saving up Primogems to pull from the featured pools, until they run out of Primogems and still can't pull the desired character, and the gacha pool is about to expire, at which point they will consider recharging.
Therefore, ten million on the first day doesn't mean much; the data from the last few days of the gacha pool will be even more astonishing.
Wu Bo silently retracted his earlier complaint: This game is damn profitable.
Conversely, group buying is currently in a cash-burning phase; it's good enough if they can avoid losing money.
It can be said that group buying is about the future, while gaming is about the present.
Sigh~
With a sigh, Wu Bo picked up his phone from the table and sent a message to the Lashou.com executive group.
"The notice has been sent out that there will be no subsidies starting next month, and everyone will have to tighten their belts again."
"???"
"???"
"???"
The group chat was filled with question marks, which Wu Bo interpreted as, "Is your mother missing?"
I wonder if Jack Ma would be grinning from ear to ear if he knew this news. Sure enough, changing the name was the right decision; everything has gone smoothly since then.
...
On the other side, a thin young man wearing glasses arrived at the Deji Plaza in Shanghai.
"Hello, may I speak to your General Manager Zhang or General Manager Lin?"
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"
"No."
"Please make an appointment first, and I will let you know when Mr. Zhang or Mr. Lin are available."
"Um, I came all the way from out of town, could you arrange something for me today?"
"I'm sorry, that depends on the schedules of the two bosses."
Just then, Lin Chen stepped out of the elevator and, seeing the commotion at the front desk, went over to ask what was going on.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Lin, this gentleman wants to see you or Mr. Zhang."
"oh?"
Lin Chen sized up the young man in front of him. Hmm, he looked kind of familiar.
"Hello, I'm Lin Chen, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I've heard so much about you. My name is Feng Ji. I used to work in the Tencent Games department, and now I'd like to come and join your team."
"Feng Ji!"
Lin Chen knew immediately upon hearing the name that this was the same big shot who created "Black Myth: Wukong" in his previous life.
"Hello, hello, okay, you're hired. Come in with me."
"Huh?" Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't keep up with Lin Chen. He had only given his name and he was hired? When did he become so famous?
However, he immediately followed Lin Chen into Xingchen Technology.
"Sit down, sit down."
Lin Chen took Feng Ji to his office and even made him a cup of tea himself, which made Feng Ji feel flattered.
After taking a sip of tea, Feng Ji spoke.
"President Lin, I believe that Star Technology is the real company that makes games, so I want to join Star Technology!"
"So what kind of game do you want to make?"
"I want to make a AAA single-player game based on the Journey to the West!"
"A AAA single-player game? Do you even know about the survival environment for AAA games in China?"
"Ah, this..."
