I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 195
c190 A little taste of the open world!
“Turn the entire amusement park into a theme park with game holographic projections?” Zhou Weiyi almost spit out a mouthful of tea when he heard what the young man sitting opposite him said.
You brat! Why is it that every time we meet you give me a little bit of a mental shock?
…
Three days have passed since my relaxing trip to Disney.
Ke Jin, who had returned to work, had no time to think about the love between his son and his daughter deep in his heart.
The development of Number One Player is now facing unprecedented difficulties and obstacles.
Domestically, after receiving strong support from the Jianglin Municipal Government and the Huaguang Bureau, the number one player has given the green light all the way, and there is no need to worry about various version numbers and preferential policies.
After all, if we really want to discuss it.
The Jianglin government now has to thank the top player in turn for bringing many new employment environments to the entire Jianglin.
It has been a year since Jianglin announced the establishment of a gaming/e-sports city.
The focus of many large and small competitions has indeed begun to shift towards the original Magic City, towards Jianglin.
Because in the Magic City, these industries are not taken seriously. It is purely because the Magic City is prosperous and there are many rich people, so the various offline activities of game manufacturers will move closer to the Magic City.
But in Jianglin, if there is policy support, why not make more money?
Ready Player One has also become a new banner for China’s gaming industry, representing the most cutting-edge trends.
It is only a matter of time before we are on equal footing with Tengjing Netcom.
Available abroad.
This area of East Asia is relatively easy to talk about.
If you want to set foot in OMI and get into the hearts of OMI players, you have to really learn a hard dish.
Otherwise, just rely on the three games announced at the Game Design Conference.
There will only be a situation where it is well received but not popular.
This is why Kejin flew directly to the headquarters of Dongzhi Group in Yancheng as soon as his holiday ended.
The red forces have swept across the hinterland of OMI Capital and it is urgent to liberate players around the world!
“Dongzhi Technology”, a Chinese giant technology company known as one of the top 20 in the world, does have an otherworldly style.
A modern modern building rises from the ground and soars into the sky.
With a vertical height of about three hundred meters, the entire building has an incomparable sense of technology, almost like looking at Arasaka Tower from a distance in 2077.
After entering the door, a well-dressed beautiful woman greeted him and enthusiastically asked about Kejin’s needs.
Knowing that he had already made an appointment, she smiled softly and said, “Sir, please wait a moment. Tomoko is helping you contact the D9 executive Zhou Weiyi.”
Ke Jin was slightly startled when he heard this.
Good guy, are you Tomoko?
Moreover, why does this female receptionist smell strange…
How can the front desk of a large company call himself ‘X son’ or ‘X sauce’…
Just when Ke Jinzheng was surprised.
The wonderful thing is coming.
The female receptionist who called herself “Zhizi” directly loaded a face plate in front of Ke Jin…
Although the face did not change, the entire face became a transparent information processing screen.
After a series of visual data was quickly converted, the screen was switched to face mode.
Immediately, he smiled at Ke Jin with an expression and voice that made it impossible to detect anything strange.
“Mr. Ke, we have contacted you. Please wait a moment. D9-level executive Zhou Weiyi is on the way.”
“If you think Tomoko’s service is helpful to you, please give Tomoko a 5-star review, thank you!”
Ke Jin: “…”
What the hell? This front desk girl is actually a robot?
Damn it!
Is Dongzhi Technology’s current integration of AI + intelligent machine technology so powerful?
A bionic robot stood in front of him, and he didn’t even notice it at first.
The Happy Beans effect was frightened out!
However, when Ke Jin looked around, he discovered.
The employees who were coming and going around him had expressionless faces and walked past him calmly, not even interested in taking another look at Tomoko.
And in the entire hall, there was no other reception except Tomoko.
Thinking about it, even if it is as powerful as Dongzhi, this latest top-notch technology should only be able to make one like the Tomoko, which can be displayed in the lobby to show off, but it cannot be mass-produced yet.
Otherwise, we might have already entered the era of home-use androids described in the game “Detroit Become Human”.
“Tongzi, who do you think is cooler, you or her?” After thinking about it, Ke Jin asked secretly.
The system said nothing.
“Okay, it’s Brother Tongzi.”
[Preliminary search, performance is less than one ten thousandth of this system]
You said you are used to this bad habit, and as soon as you call Tongzi brother, you will respond.
And she’s even arrogant.
“The performance is less than one ten thousandth of others~~”
Okay, okay, our brother Tongzi is the most awesome, okay?
While waiting for Zhou Weiyi, Ke Jin had nothing to do.
On a whim, I wanted to see how intelligent Dongzhi’s AI bionic man is.
So I decided to question her.
“Tomoko, let me test you.”
“Hello, Mr. Ke, please speak.”
“There are 70% water and 30% land on Blue Star, so where did the remaining 30% water and the remaining 70% land go?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tomoko’s face switching to garbled data stream.
After a quick burst of data collection.
Then he changed his face and replied with a smile.
“Mr. Ke, there are 70% water and 30% land on Blue Star. The remaining 30% of the water is filled by land, and the remaining 70% of the land is covered by water. I wonder if Tomoko’s answer can satisfy you, please Remember to give Tomoko a five-star review.”
Ke Jin sneered when he heard this.
“Perhaps the AI intelligence of your Dongzhi Group is very good, but the mentally retarded are the last line of defense to protect the pure land of mankind. I can only say that you Dongzhi still need to practice.”
After thinking about it, Ke Jin asked again.
“Brother Tongzi, do you know the answer to this question?”
The system was unresponsive, as if it didn’t want to pay attention to Ke Jin at all.
“Brother Tongzi, you can’t answer the questions that other Tomokos can barely answer, right? No, no, no.”
[Based on the super search function and fusion of simulated human mind maps, the correct answer is – discharge. 】
Ke Jin: “???”
I’m super! System!
Super intelligence makes me look at you!
I even know when I’m discharged from the hospital.
But then again.
Brother Tongzi used to ignore himself except for mission-related matters.
Why can’t I hold back after seeing an AI sister today?
When you say you’re not as good as my sister, do you get anxious?
A crush, right?
While Ke Jin was entertaining himself, Zhou Weiyi had already gone downstairs in a crisp suit and strode towards the hall.
Because the core technology of Dongzhi Technology is very valuable around the world.
Therefore, the entire building is strictly controlled, and each floor requires relevant face key verification.
Not to mention Ke Jin, even if Tengjing CEO comes, the senior management of the special floor will have to come down to meet him, otherwise he can only wait in the lobby.
Everyone in the company, except Yuan Wencheng, the largest chairman, has all the authority.
The only person who can still enter all levels of the company through facial recognition is the only daughter of the Dongzhi Group.
Of course, even if you are Dongzhi’s daughter, you only get access rights to each floor of the group.
The relevant core technology departments are still unable to enter with her weight. In some cases, the weight ratio is not as good as that of veteran technical backbones like Zhou Weiyi.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time. I just dealt with an emergency situation.” Zhou Weiyi strode over, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ke Jin with a smile on his face, and patted him on the shoulder: “Good boy, I haven’t seen you for a few months, and the longer I get, the worse I get.” So handsome.”
“By the way, when I first came downstairs, I saw you communicating with Tomoko. How was your experience with the reception of our android from Dongzhi Group?” Zhou Weiyi asked again.
“You still have to practice.”
Zhou Weiyi: “?”
He looked at Ke Jin in surprise, but found that the latter’s expression was not surprising.
Suddenly I started thinking about it in my mind.
no.
Our Dongzhi Sophon 1.0 series is equipped with the core processing chip of the seventh version of Dongzhi GPT, which can load problems with extremely fast response speed.
The accuracy of answering questions is as high as 99%.
As long as she inputs relevant instructions, she can freely combine them and provide multiple optimal solutions.
It is no exaggeration to say that as a personal nanny, there is no problem in making arrangements for meals and travel throughout the day.
There are only two units in the entire Dongzhi now.
One was placed at the gate to support the scene.
The other one works as a super housekeeper in Yuan Dong’s home.
Every visitor to Dongzhi, including some technology giants from developed countries, was shocked and amazed when they met Tomoko after their visit.
What kind of world has your kid seen? Being able to say things like ‘I still need to practice’…
However, this is the saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Zhou Weiyi didn’t care either.
The episode quickly turned around. Under the leadership of Zhou Weiyi, Ke Jin came to his open design office.
There are no main doors to the office, just a short corridor for transition.
Employees can walk in and out directly.
In Zhou Weiyi’s own words.
He is the person in charge of Guandong Zhi’s cutting-edge technology. Putting a door here will cut off the relationship between employees and the general manager.
Let employees see what their boss is doing at all times, and let employees know that the boss is diligently exploring new blue oceans with employees, instead of hiding behind the door to tease the secretary or even play indoor golf.
It’s important to lead by example.
After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Ke Jin revealed the purpose of his visit this time.
He expressed his desire to further cooperate with Dongzhi.
And proposed the idea of an ‘open game theme park’.
Taking Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean as an example, we asked Togi if they could create a similar holographic game park for Ready Player One.
Zhou Weiyi, who was drinking tea, almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
“You guys are just using your brain. Do you know how much it costs to build this set… Let’s take the Disney you mentioned as an example. We, Dong Zhi, were also responsible for part of the Pirates of the Caribbean ship. After the whole project was built, It’s about an investment of five to six billion.”
“If you wanted to build the entire amusement park like this, it would cost hundreds of billions to start with.”
An order project worth hundreds of billions is not considered a trivial matter in Dongzhi, but a formal cooperation that can be put on the table.
When there are so many eyes watching, Dong Zhi will no longer be able to give the green light to the number one player just by relying on the favor of the eldest lady like the production line of SW.
You know, SW, the two companies, Number One Player and Dongzhi, are losing money.
The machine does not make any money at all. The number one player earns a share of player reputation and subsequent sales of cassettes.
Dongzhi earns a favor and a ticket to angel investment in the gaming industry.
It is tantamount to betting that the number one player will not be ungrateful in the future.
But when making SW, it’s not like Ready Player One said they wouldn’t give money.
It just compressed revenue into negative profits.
In addition, the original expenses were not large, and a machine would cost dozens of yuan to lose. In the past two months, SW sold millions of units, and Dongzhi only lost 20 to 30 million yuan.
The eldest lady can fill this hole with her pocket money, so Dong Yuan will naturally not pay too much attention.
“This matter is still too aggressive.” Zhou Weiyi sighed: “Disney dared to spend tens of billions to establish a branch in Shanghai because Disney has confidence in its own IP. They have too much money in their hands.” It has many classic animated IP characters, and it also has a large series such as the Marvel Universe. It can be said that as long as it is built, it is only a matter of time before the money is recovered.”
“But considering the current background of the number one player…” Zhou Weiyi said tactfully: “Is it a little worse?”
Ke Jin could also predict Zhou Weiyi’s reaction.
After all, Dongzhi is a company that wants to make money no matter what. Every day, hundreds of thousands and millions of employees around the world need to eat.
He came here in person this time, not thinking about discounts at all.
It’s purely here to discuss cooperation.
“Uncle Zhou, I’m very grateful that Dong Zhi was willing to help before. I will definitely not let Dong Zhi suffer by coming here this time.” Ke Jin said sincerely: “That’s what I think.”
“For our initial scale, we don’t need to choose a park as big as Disney. The land can be rented first. For Jianglin Government, I can negotiate a more suitable rental price in the suburbs.”
“Then we will first create a realistic demo version on the scale of Pirates of the Caribbean, which will be used by Top Player to promote major new games in the future.”
“In addition to the CG trailer, the new game will also be paired with an offline demo version of the Ready Player One theme park. This will definitely be very attractive to players, and I am confident.”
As a hardcore gamer who has experienced various classic IPs in his previous life, not to mention those blockbuster masterpieces as a whole, even if he only released an offline version of the demo, he couldn’t even imagine how much fun it would be.
If it can be realized on Blue Star, a big explosion is absolutely inevitable.
“Secondly, I am willing to give up 50% of the permanent income of the work, including the derivative IP and major copyrights of the work, to Dongzhi Group.” (What I am giving away here is not the company’s shares, but the profits from the game)
“Finally, I will bring capital into the game, 5 billion yuan first, to cover all expenses for the panoramic demo trial version of the game. If Dongzhi Technology feels that the effect is as expected, it can sign a follow-up long-term cooperation contract with the number one player. ”
After saying this, Ke Jin was extremely serious.
Zhou Weiyi fell into deep thought when he heard what happened next.
At first, when he heard Ke Jin’s idea, he always felt that it was a big joke.
But after listening to his various suggestions.
Zhou Weiyi found out.
This kid really came here with great sincerity to seek cooperation this time.
First of all, the top player will solve the problem of renting land by himself.
Secondly, the top player is willing to share 50% of the game revenue, including IP value.
Finally, the first offline panoramic demo, the number one player has full investment.
To sum it up, it is equal to.
This time the cooperation.
Dongzhi doesn’t need to do anything more. It only needs to provide construction technology throughout the process, and the rest will be divided into shares.
Maybe this doesn’t seem intuitive enough.
But instead, the construction team helps the developer build the building and does not have to worry about anything else. Even the salary is contracted by the developer. As long as the building is built, the developer can get half the profit from the building.
In comparison, this sincerity is terrifying.
Of course, the core technology currently mastered by Dongzhi is definitely not the same as that of ordinary building construction teams.
And this is just a tentative profit-sharing cooperation by the number one player, the purpose is to show Dong Zhi’s sincerity.
If the first wave of cooperation is successful and tastes the benefits, then if Dongzhi wants to cooperate with the number one player for a long time, it will definitely not be the current conditions that make him laugh out of his dreams.
But no matter what, it is enough to prove that Ke Jin spent a lot of money this time.
After all, many assumptions are based on this panoramic demo, and players will definitely buy it.
Once it fails, players will not accept this thing very well.
The top player’s 5 billion investment will only be wasted, but Dongzhi will not be affected in any way.
Thinking of this, Zhou Weiyi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
I have to say that young people just have fun.
“All that being said, I don’t seem to have any reason to refuse?”
Zhou Weiyi stood up and put down the teacup, and once again extended his hand to Ke Jin.
“For this warm-up cooperation, I will take over it on behalf of Director Yuan first.”
“But there is something that needs to be made clear before signing the contract.”
“Xiao Ke, although I personally appreciate you, this is business.”
“The size of the contract you can get from Dongzhi in the future will all depend on how well your offline panoramic demo performs this time and how well players accept it. Understand.”
“Well, thank you very much, Uncle Zhou.” Ke Jin nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
At present, only Dongzhi is the only one in China that can achieve this technology.
If you want to look for it again, you will have to seek cooperation with Omi’s technology group.
However, due to the influence of Blue Ocean Paradise in Omi, they will definitely not be able to advance smoothly. The sky-high asking price will not be affordable by the number one player.
Therefore, at the moment, it is crucial to negotiate the first contract project with Dong Zhihe peacefully.
Dongzhi did not raise the price just because it had an exclusive monopoly on this project in China, but Kejin was grateful.
The first step was taken steadily, and Jin no longer worried about what happened next.
I just don’t know where Dong Zhi’s good impression of Ready Player One comes from.
After all, I changed my company and am sitting here talking about the same project with Dongzhi today.
It’s the same benefit.
Dong Zhidu may not be interested.
After all, all of this must be based on having absolute confidence in the next game.
Confidence cannot be persuaded by words in front of big companies.
But Dong Zhi seems to have always trusted the number one player.
If given the chance, Ke Jin would really like to thank the benefactor in person who is hiding behind his back and sparing no effort to promote the cooperative relationship between Dongzhi and Ready Player One.
“By the way, Xiao Mo.” Zhou Weiyi asked again: “I see that you came here this time and wanted to build the layout of this offline panoramic demo at all costs. It seems that you are right to put it in this panoramic demo. I have 120,000 points of confidence in my game.”
“We have to sign the contract anyway, can you tell Uncle Zhou Xiaoxiao what kind of game you are planning to make?”
Ke Jin smiled slightly and then revealed lightly.
“An immersive open world survival game.”
“Dying Light”
Supplementary explanation: Offline panoramic amusement equipment can be adapted to new games by modifying the venue layout in the future, and it does not only need to be bound to one game.
