Chapter 304 Beishan’s Dilemma!
Lu Ming rubbed his hands and stood in front of the almost impenetrable projection wall. He couldn't help but look up again.
The galaxy-like dome has now closed, and the entire experimental area has returned to a dark technical room.
Cold, quiet and empty, it looks like a silent future space station.
Lu Ming was silent for a moment, but he already gave this equipment a high evaluation in his heart:
“It’s expensive, takes up space, and provides an immersive image.”
"Perfect."
His mind was already clear:
This project is absolutely amazing.
First of all, people are discouraged by the cost.
Who would buy a thing worth over one million?
He had thought this thing was the same as a projector!
Who knew it was such a big thing!
Therefore, this thing is bound to be criticized after it goes online, and may even be criticized by technology UP hosts and review experts.
It was then labeled with one star for being "flashy", "detached from players", and "showy pseudo-technological".
He almost laughed out loud.
Lu Ming subconsciously thought of a phrase that would be used in the review section.
“Playing games alone is like starting a nuclear fusion.”
He was completely convinced in his heart:
This is the kind of thing that ordinary players don’t even have the qualifications to experience!
This thing is destined not to be suitable for ordinary players.
Moreover, taking a step back,
Even if there are good reviews, how much can you afford?
"Engineer Yao..."
Lu Ming cleared his throat and suppressed his excitement.
"I think your direction is good."
Yao Wenqing was also a little excited:
"Mr. Lu, I knew you supported us!"
"Good, not bad! You have to keep it up!"
“Continue research and development, continue iteration!”
Lu Ming continued to nod with satisfaction.
This kind of project is suitable for spending money.
It can not only maintain R&D expenditures, but also avoid profit pressure and create some controversy at critical moments.
This is something that can be invested in the long term and burn money continuously!
After all, for Lu Ming,
Not all projects have to make money!
"Yes,"
He suddenly spoke.
"I just tried out your equipment... you haven't given it a name yet, right?"
Yao Wenqing:
"Not yet. For now, we're calling it... the Whale Leap Projection Prototype Device."
“That’s too straightforward.”
Lu Ming shook his head.
"This thing needs to have a sense of technology, a sense of romance, and a sense of brand recognition."
He squinted his eyes and slowly said four words:
"Whale Sea Star Ship."
Yao Wenqing was stunned.
"What's the moral?"
"A leaping whale, a boat in the starry sky."
"The projection floats like a boat, and players entering it are sailing on it."
Yao Wenqing nodded and said it didn't matter.
It doesn’t matter what it’s called, as long as Mr. Lu agrees to continue investing!
"Then I will have the device casing customized again, add a light strip, and put a logo on it!" Yao Wenqing followed immediately.
"Can!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted Yao Wenqing on the shoulder:
"For this project, we are prepared to invest in it for a long time."
"Engineer Yao, do a good job!"
"When you figure it out, we'll hold a press conference!"
"The future of Whale Leap depends on you!"
Yao Wenqing's eyes were red: "Boss Lu... I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
But in my heart I was calculating madly:
"Whale Sea Star Ship, next stop is the stars, first stop is trending."
"As soon as you get online, you start cursing, and then you look back after you're done cursing."
Then, Lu Ming gently touched the heavy and shiny outer shell of the device.
There was a long-lost eagerness and anticipation in his eyes.
The moment Lu Ming walked out of the experimental area, he couldn't suppress the smile.
What hands can pick the stars?
No, I just want to pick out some bad reviews!
…
A few days later.
In the office,
Lu Ming held a bottle of water and stared blankly out the window.
Yesterday, he just completed a settlement.
The result is undoubtedly
Investing is simply investing.
He got nothing.
The debt value hit bottom.
That’s an investment of 100 million!
It’s all real money invested!
Forget it, at least Lao Yao’s result is out.
It’s not a waste of money!
Moreover, Lu Ming now has the confidence to let it go, although he can't keep saying it.
The sky outside the window was ridiculously blue, and the sunlight was so bright that it dazzled the reflectors in the office.
Lu Ming took a sip of water, and what was past was past.
Yesterday's settlement has become a thing of the past.
He is thinking about how to do the next project.
The office door was pushed open with a bang.
"Mr. Lu!!!"
It's Lao Zhou, the current head of the Jingyue negative review training class.
"Well, Lao Zhou, how come you have time to come here?"
"Are there any new arrangements at the Floating Shore Experience Center?"
"Why are you so impatient?"
"This is a serious incident!!"
Lao Zhou had no time to rest and spoke very fast.
"Mr. Lu, big news!!!"
"I came to the company to report as soon as I heard about it!"
"I'm telling you, Beishan is dying!!!"
"ah?"
Lu Ming raised his head and almost dropped the water bottle.
"Who are you talking about?!"
"Kitasama!! Kitasama Yugi!"
Lao Zhou approached,
"I've received accurate information that Beishan has expressed a clear intention to raise funds, and furthermore, they've said... as long as the price is right, they'd consider transferring some of their shares!!!"
Lu Ming's pupils shrank, and he suddenly became much more sober.
This name is so familiar.
This is Beishan Game!
Old game manufacturer,
A few years ago, Jingyue was just a small team of a few people without even a physical office. What was Beishan at that time?
It's a big mountain.
I have made countless games and have many fans and players.
Aren’t there still quite a lot of people playing "Sword Embers Island" until now?
"Are you sure? Is it really Kitayama Yugi?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lu Ming took two deep breaths.
"Is this true?"
"…Is your source of information reliable?"
“Reliable!”
Lao Zhou patted his chest and promised
"Even their core staff have started to leave. Someone even posted anonymously on a workplace app, saying that Beishan's internal funding chain is already robbing Peter to pay Paul!"
Hearing this, Lu Ming was in a trance.
Although Beishan has not yet reached the stage of bankruptcy and dissolution,
But how did it become like this?
The gaming industry is so easy to work in!
He couldn't even get scolded if he wanted to.
As a well-established gaming company, it has been in the industry for many years and has a strong fan base.
It has everything from offline experience, distribution channels, and advertising procurement...how could it collapse just like that?
"Why did it suddenly stop working?"
Lu Ming knew this in his mind, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but sigh.
This is too fast!
"Old Zhou, do you still remember the project 'Xiantu'?"
"Remember, it's an old-fashioned immortal cultivation game!"
Lu Ming also thought about the time when this game imitated the sub-profession system of "氪命修仙" (Krypton Life Cultivation Immortal).
“Although their company is having a hard time, the ideas behind the project can be used as a reference.”
“Talent is the most important asset!”
Lu Ming pondered.
And if Beishan really can't hold on any longer, then the people from "Xiantu"...
Can I dig a few of them?
If they invest some money and step back behind the scenes, and let the original team continue to make games according to their previous ideas,
Isn’t that ready-made?
He picked up his phone and tapped it on the table.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked down.
It's Zhao Chongshan, the boss of Beishan Games.
Lu Ming and the other party had communicated before at the game exchange conference.
We have a pretty good impression of each other.
Lu Ming glanced at his phone.
The text message only has one sentence.
[Mr. Lu, do you have time to chat? It's about gaming collaboration.]
Lu Ming was stunned.
I haven't even taken the initiative yet! And you...are the first to come knocking on my door?
Why are you looking for him at this time?
"Times have really changed..."
He handed the phone to Lao Zhou.
"Take a look."
Old Zhou took a quick look and immediately sat up straight:
"Fuck, Zhao Chongshan? He came to you personally?"
"Mr. Lu, do you think there is a possibility..."
"He was planning to return the trophy he had taken from us..."
