Chapter 287 It’s not easy even though it’s here, it’s the New Year’s Eve
“Out of the car, the interview was very successful. You have been published in a daily newspaper at such a young age. Some of my old friends have been talking about you recently..."
“Vaulting horse, it’s fine if you don’t say anything. I’m still worried that something is inappropriate...”
“If you say it, it won’t be published in the newspaper...”
“Revise the draft, besides, you are here too...”
“Hahaha, you have robbed a baby before, and you are a very good thief…”
“By the way, speaking of publishing in newspapers, I came over today to ask you something…”
…”
It’s the weekend again!
As usual, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao came to see old Comrade Shen for dinner.
As the first round of the Peak Eight Challenges of "Apex Kingdom" entered the regular map pool, Steel Chain Fingers also began to plan the locations for the new round of Peak Eight challenges.
As for the golden experience, after Gu Sheng presented the plan for “Overwatch”, the production of the game started in full swing.
In fact, for Jiang Yun and his team, the production of this game is not difficult.
After all, they are the production team of a veteran shooting game. Although this time the game design has canceled the second-generation FPS setting that they are best at and enabled the old-school virtual crosshair.
But after all, the foundation for making shooting games is there. The golden experience team has experienced the production of many shooting games such as "Long 4 Dead", "PUBG" and "Titanfall". They have rich experience and can shoot well with their eyes closed.
In terms of game form, they not only have experience in making skill + shooting games like "APEX", but also have accumulated experience in making game modes like "Garden Warfare".
It can be said that with these accumulations and Gu Sheng’s meticulous planning, it should not be a big problem to recreate the glory of the summer of 2016 in his previous life.
After everything is arranged properly.
Gu Sheng finally had time and came to see Lao Shen for tea, dinner and chess.
In fact, in terms of frequency, with the opening of the steel chain fingers, the number of times Gu Sheng came to Lao Shen to play chess was not as many as before.
Previously, Golden Wind had not completely taken its steps towards the international market, and there was only one studio. He had quite a lot of time and would come basically every week.
Now, he comes only about once every two weeks.
but.
Somehow, perhaps it is distance that creates beauty.
As the frequency of visits decreased, the relationship between him and Lao Shen became closer.
From being cautious at the beginning, to relaxing later, and now playing chess with Lao Shen with his legs crossed.
The solidity and warmth that he had never experienced before gradually took root in Gu Sheng's heart.
And in Gu Sheng’s heart, Shen Wanlin gradually became the old Comrade Shen from the high-ranking helmsman of Shen Capital who controlled the huge capital empire at the beginning.
“General!”
bang.
With Gu Sheng's red man, he went down to kill Shen Wanlin's defense line.
Shen Wanlin was stunned, seemingly not noticing the darkness of Gu Sheng's red car.
“…Hey, you have committed a crime…”
Shen Wanlin opened his mouth, and his hand was ready to put down the tea cup.
"Hey! Uncle? Just say it, don't do it..."
Gu Sheng held down his car vigilantly, and Old Shen Huiqi did it not once or twice
At first he was quite calm, showing the demeanor of a general with no regrets.
But as the relationship between the two fathers became closer and closer, Lao Shen became less and less acting.
Not only did he regret his chess, but he also stole his carriage, horse and cannon while he was refilling the tea and water.
Highlight a ‘bad record’!
For this reason, Gu Sheng ‘had no choice but to be on guard’!
At this time, Shen Miaomiao on the side was even more vigilant. She jumped off the armrest of the sofa directly from Gu Sheng, hugged the chessboard, and protected the chess pieces in her arms:
"That's right, old man, you have something to say. What does it mean to reach out?"
A period of time.
Looking at the two young people with the same hatred and hatred opposite him, Lao Shen couldn't help but choked up speechlessly and froze on the spot.
The two sides ‘confronted’.
After a moment of stalemate, Shen Wanlin looked at Gu Sheng, then at his precious daughter, and then turned to Gu Sheng.
Pink for a moment!
A slight cough!
Speak slowly:
“Hiss—yes, Ah Sheng, you just said you had something to ask me?”
"Why-???"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao's eyes widened:
“Dad! You don’t have any martial ethics!”
This old man actually wants to use the question that the old consultant wants to ask as a bargaining chip, in exchange for a chance to regret the game!
Even though he was his biological father, Shen Miaomiao could not help but curse in her heart that it was a good three-way trick!
To make matters worse, when he turned to look at Gu Sheng, he saw that old Gu was contemplating, as if he was thinking about the value of this chip!
"Hello…"
Shen Miaomiao was speechless:
“Can you two respect the game of chess and this gentleman’s sport?”
ifies
Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao and nodded repeatedly:
“That’s right, the so-called gentleman is magnanimous, while the villain always has his own worries!”
“Hey, that’s right…”
After listening to Gu Sheng's words, Shen Miaomiao was satisfied and let go of her hand, stood up and patted Gu Sheng's shoulder.
Just about to open his mouth to praise.
He then heard Gu Sheng continue: "Playing chess is one of the six skills of a gentleman. You should treat it with an open mind and an open mind. Don't be too fussy about it!"
Say it.
He saw Gu Sheng leaning forward, pulling the red car back to its original position, and pushing the soldier:
“Gongzhu! Uncle, please!”
Shen Miaomiao:…
ah?
That’s what I mean? !
Shen Miaomiao was about to speak but stopped, Shen Miaomiao stamped her foot angrily, looked up to the sky and sighed:
“Shameless! Shameless! I don’t even use Dumbo’s tricks now! You...tsk...hey...!!"
Sigh!
Shen Miaomiao stamped her feet and went to wash the fruits, leaving the two of them laughing on both sides of the chessboard.
Just laugh.
Shen Wanlin also waved his hand, and the two of them looked serious.
Yes, it was just a chess game. The two of them just used an excuse to stir up the topic.
As for who wins and who loses, no one cares, and it doesn’t matter to them at all.
Gu Sheng said: "Siam's Tencel Bull came to us this week to discuss cooperation..."
…
good.
Just this Friday, Chairman Matt and CEO Xu Zhixing of Tencel Bull Group visited at the same time, kicking off the first round of cooperation negotiations with Golden Wind.
Shen Miaomiao naturally welcomed this with both hands.
She was supposed to lose money on "Peak Kingdom", but because of her momentary cowardice, she didn't lose a penny and only received a 100% charitable rebate, totaling just over 100,000 dollars.
Now, the Tencel Group, which Moritani Tetsuya helped connect, is here and wants to cooperate with them.
Shen Miaomiao naturally welcomed him warmly.
After all, this is equivalent to giving her a spin-off project.
“Then the specific form of cooperation is...?”
Shen Miaomiao was very concerned about this.
This is related to the form of her rebate.
“Oh, that’s right,”
Hearing this, Xu Zhixing opened his mouth and said:
“Our initial plan here is to hold events, which will be jointly funded by the two of us and share advertising space, so as to increase brand influence and create greater profits,”
“Even, in the form of co-branding, sponsoring athletes or groups in other related sports events,” “To achieve greater profit and publicity effects.”
Advertising.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of the cooperation method proposed by Bulls is for advertising.
What is the profit from establishing a competition, and what is profit from sponsoring sports groups.
It’s all nonsense.
Pointing to those who make money is pure fantasy. The investment is far higher than the income.
But for this!
Shen Miaomiao was very happy!
OK!
This is a project purely spent on advertising!
It doesn’t matter whether you advertise or not, the key is to spend money and lose money!
Where can I find this unfair project?
Without thinking, Shen Miaomiao was not prepared to continue listening at all. She nodded on the spot, wishing she could sign the contract immediately and start burning money!
But at this moment!
【Ding dong! 】
Suddenly, a crisp sound in her mind interrupted Shen Miaomiao's reckless charge——
【New project form detected—publicity project】
【Do you want to view details? 】
yeah?
Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
You should know that as of now, her loss rebate system has only two major types of projects: [regular projects] [charitable projects]
There is no need to mention conventional projects. The starting point is ten times, and it is subdivided into main projects and derivative sub-projects. The multiple changes can be achieved by adjusting the number of days.
Charitable projects are special project types that are independent of regular projects. Depending on the amount donated, the rebate is 1% of the total donation.
But now.
As cooperation negotiations with Tencel Bull came to our door.
The third project form was also unexpectedly unlocked: [Public Publication Project]
【Explanation: This project is an independent publicity project, mainly for brands, and does not target any regular project or charity project alone. It is an investment project independent of "regular projects" and "charitable projects"]
【Form of rebate: Since the "publicity and promotion project" is mainly aimed at corporate brand power, the profit and loss judgment standard will also be judged based on the profit growth brought about by publicity and distribution. If within the specified time, the profit growth is higher than the publicity cost, the project investment is successful; if within the specified time, the profit growth is lower than the publicity cost, the project investment fails. 】
——
After looking at it, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but smacked her lips secretly.
A new way to play is here.
Sure enough, the system is not a fool. For projects like this that are purely about burning money and gaining reputation, the system also has its own set of judgment standards.
It’s a new thing, can you try it out?
Anyway, there are still at least three or four months until the development of "Overwatch" is completed.
Taking advantage of this gap period, you can try this new form first.
After all, they came all the way from Siam to sincerely seek cooperation, and it’s almost Chinese New Year.
It’s not easy even though it’s here. It’s the New Year...
There's no way you can refuse, okay? !
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao pondered for a moment and asked:
“So in the initial cooperation, in what form will your company plan to promote it? How much is the total investment expected?”
There is a way!
Hearing this, Matt and Xu Zhixing looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
“Our initial plan is to organize a Ridge Challenge,”
Speaking, Xu Zhixing pulled out a piece of information from the materials at hand and presented it to Shen Miaomiao. He was obviously well prepared:
“According to our incomplete survey statistics, among the various extreme sports events in the world, downhill cycling and skydiving are the two events with the largest number of people,”
“But considering that the skydiving project is not as impactful as the ridge rappelling in terms of visual appearance,”
“So we propose to organize a global downhill race to be held in Utah, USA, of course…”
Speaking of this.
Xu Zhixing added another point:
“Of course it’s not the devil’s ridge in your company’s eight peak challenges. For safety reasons, we will choose a less difficult ridge for the competition,”
"The total prize money...is initially set at 300,000 U.S. dollars, divided into the first, second and third place."
Listen.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
It can be seen that the Bulls have made a lot of preparations for this cooperation.
The sport format has been selected, the challenge location has been surveyed, and the competition format and prize tiers have even been prepared.
That is, if their Golden Wind agrees.
The [Golden Bull United Extreme Challenge] will kick off immediately.
Tell the truth.
This is the cooperation that Gu Sheng longs for.
but.
But it is the only project that he is currently unsure about.
After all, he is just a game designer.
He has the game at his fingertips. Whether it is planning or final results, he has a predictable future with the system and rich experience in his previous life.
But this joint challenge is different.
Strictly speaking, this thing is no longer part of the game industry.
If they were to do it, this would be their first out-of-game project for Golden Wind to date.
Although in his previous life, Red Bull relied on this "I pay and you pay" publicity format to go from an unknown functional drink manufacturer to a world-famous beverage giant, spanning extreme sports, rally , F1, football, rugby, ice hockey and many other sports.
But in this life, he is not sure whether this form can be achieved.
And the most important thing is - he has never done anything like this!
Think about it for a moment:
“What about the total investment?”
“Total about…”
Xu Zhiyuan presented another statement to Gu Sheng:
“About 7.6 million dollars.”
The words have not yet finished!
Just then Shen Miaomiao screamed: "How much?!"
Across from each other, Matt and Xu Zhiyuan were both frightened!
“Uh…uh…”
Xu Zhiyuan opened his mouth, although in terms of age, he was more than a full round older than the little girl in front of him.
But this little girl, no matter her illustrious military exploits or the Shen Capital behind her, he did not dare to look down upon her.
He hesitated for a moment: "About 700...600,000 dollars?"
“Tsk um…”
After confirming the number, Shen Miaomiao's brows furrowed.
What kind of crappy project is this? Um?
Brother, did you make a mistake? !
Our total investment in "Peak Kingdom" is 101 million!
The purpose is to allow players to fight for their lives in the virtual somatosensory cabin!
But now!
This "joint challenge" you proposed allows real people to risk their lives, but it only costs $7.6 million?
Let’s split it equally between the two families, 3.8 million dollars per family?
You treat extreme athletes like beggars?
Besides, if you do this, I will still lose a lot of money for such a small amount of money!
Even if I lose as much as possible, it will only be 3.8 million. If multiplied by 10 times, the loss will be 38 million at best!
When I have this time, I might as well play a game!
How to increase the cost of this activity?
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao's little brows furrowed, and after a moment, she slowly spoke: "My opinion is—"
