Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 273 Gambling Sales (2700 Monthly Ticket Plus Update)

Lin Xiaoguang was stunned, and after a long time said: "Mr. Zhong, you are so generous..."

As for the income of Weiguang Studio, Lin Xiaoguang can probably make a guess. The income of "Zodiac Guardian" alone is about 9000 to 4000 million. Some of it is the normal share of the game, and some of it comes from [-] million exclusive fees for Moya Technology.

In addition, although the popularity of Weiguang Studio's previous games has passed, the monthly sales are in the tens of thousands to 10,000+, which is also a large income.

But, does Zhong Ming need to spend so much money to set up a new company to develop consoles?That's still a very risky move.

During this period of time, Zhong Ming invested money in three directions almost at the same time, establishing Tianji Studio, establishing a motion capture studio, recruiting people, renting venues, and adding that Weiguang Studio and Tianji Studio are both starting to develop new games. It's all very expensive.

Then take out 5000 million to set up a new company as the mainframe, and Zhong Ming basically doesn't have much money left for daily turnover.

Once there are problems in the development of the next two games, or if players do not buy it after they are successfully produced, there is a risk of breaking the capital chain.

But overall, the figure of 5000 million still makes Lin Xiaoguang a little bit excited.

In terms of the investment of a hardware manufacturer, 5000 million is actually not too much. There is no upper limit for spending money on hardware.

In Zhong Ming's previous life, Microsoft made a controller, and the research and development cost was [-] million US dollars, which is simply a bottomless pit.

Of course, if the cost of making hardware is all this, there are really few companies in the world that can afford it.Of course, Zhong Ming didn’t want to play this way. In fact, Lin Xiaoguang also knew that the new hardware company Zhong Ming established must focus on design and assembly in the early stage, just like many small manufacturers of bracelets, which do not have much technology themselves. patents, and will not go to some of the most cutting-edge technologies, but just choose some relatively mature technologies currently on the market, integrate the components provided by various suppliers, and create a machine that can reach the average level on the market. .

Just like many wristband companies, the initial registered capital is only 500 million. After the first product is produced, the user reputation is good, the sales are good, and the attention continues to increase. Follow-up capital injections from various sources continue to increase, and the valuation continues to increase. , from 500 million to 5000 million, and then to a valuation of hundreds of millions, all step by step.

Zhong Ming obviously had a bigger hand and jumped directly to the level of 5000 million, probably in order to get on the right track faster.

If only Lin Xiaoguang was poached alone, Lin Xiaoguang would definitely not come.

To make a handheld, the key is the team. Lin Xiaoguang is the manager, but without professional technicians, he can't play well.

As a result, Zhong Ming directly said that the entire technical team was dug together, all at a premium of 30%, and at the same time, these start-ups could pay dividends according to the profitability of the subsidiary.

Of course, the greater temptation is freedom.

In Moya Technology, although Lin Xiaoguang is the vice president, many things are not so convenient, especially the pressure from the top management is very great.But when he came here, Lin Xiaoguang reported to Zhong Ming directly, and other times he had the final say.

After getting in touch with him during this period, Lin Xiaoguang also knew that Zhong Ming was a very thoughtful person, and he never treated his employees badly.Coupled with the creation of one and one explosive game, the potential can be said to be infinite.

After all, making hardware in the game field is ultimately about content.

Zhong Ming could tell that Lin Xiaoguang was hesitating.

It's not that the conditions given by Zhong Ming are not good, but that Lin Xiaoguang really needs to do psychological construction for himself repeatedly if he wants to change jobs.

Lin Xiaoguang is considered a management team in Moya Technology, and his actual annual income is at least 800 million, and this is still in a relatively marginal department like the handheld business department.

The annual income may be more than 500 yuan for the basic monthly salary alone. Others include annual dividends, bonuses, subsidies, etc., among which dividends are the bulk, and it is easy to divide [-] million yuan a year.

What's more, the benefits of being an executive in Moya Technology are not only economical.Life, social status, etc., Moya's executives have some invisible benefits.

And jumping to Zhong Ming, the nature is entrepreneurship. For those who pursue comfort, it is obviously very risky. Even if they are given equity and dividends, it is mostly just drawing cakes, and it may not be possible to really build the company. stand up.

"Mr. Zhong, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is of great importance, and I still have to think about it." Lin Xiaoguang definitely couldn't agree so easily.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Mr. Lin, I know what you are hesitating. How about this, don't you like to bet against each other, then should we have a private bet? If you win, I will make you a guaranteed sales Exclusive games with more than 50 yuan, don’t monopolize the fees; if you lose, 1 yuan salary will come to me as the CEO of the subsidiary company, of course, the shares and dividends that should be given are not less than yours.”

Lin Xiaoguang was taken aback for a moment: "Then I am making a lot of money. What are you betting on?"

Zhong Ming said: "Bet on whether the sales of the next game of Weiguang Studio can break 200 million on all platforms."

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while: "200 million... If you release a game that is relatively popular, and the price is cheaper, 200 million is not impossible..."

Zhong Ming added: "Horror game."

Lin Xiaoguang shook his head frantically: "Impossible, horror games will never sell for less than 200 million, I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, then there is a need to bet against each other." Zhong Ming smiled, "Well, just bet on this, whether the sales of the next horror game of Shimmer Studios can reach 200 million, and if so, your salary is 1 yuan Come and be the CEO of a subsidiary for me."

"What's the price?" Lin Xiaoguang asked.

Zhong Ming said seriously: "It won't be lower than "Zodiac Guardian"."

"Not less than 150 yuan? Okay, I bet!"

Lin Xiaoguang agreed without saying a word.

A little calculation also knows how difficult it is to meet this standard!
The price is 150 yuan, and the sales volume is 200 million, so the turnover of the game is 3 million!
This sales volume, in the world, is a proper top 3A masterpiece, the level that can engage in IP development!

Not to mention a horror game?
Horror games are definitely not a popular game type in this world, and they naturally discourage some players.If it is a relatively mainstream RPG game or FPS game that sells 200 million copies on the console, then Lin Xiaoguang believes that horror games are really different.

In Lin Xiaoguang's eyes, this is basically an impossible goal.

If this kind of game can be made by saying and doing, then Lin Xiaoguang can only say that he is convinced, even if Zhong Ming doesn't poach him, he has to run over to hug his thigh.

After all, Lin Xiaoguang is not stupid in terms of temporary immediate benefits and long-term development prospects, so of course he chose the latter without hesitation.

　There is no more to add, everyone hurry up and vote for the recommended monthly ticket~
