Chapter 30 How to Spend Money

Monday, March 10th.

The experience store of Lishan Technology Group is already overcrowded! The originally empty Mewtwo game cabin has been fully occupied, and there are even many people who can only wait anxiously in the lobby.

Chen She felt like crying but had no tears left.

After the Mewtwo "Wandering in the Garden" quickly became popular on the Internet and was forwarded by many Mewtwo stars, the experience store also became popular at an incredible speed.

The speed of the explosion left Chen She stunned and in disbelief. The current passenger flow has exceeded his most pessimistic forecast.

Because the experience store not only attracted customers from a few nearby blocks, but also many customers came all the way from the inner city of Liming City, so that the popularity completely exceeded the carrying capacity of the experience store!

The reason is simple: this experience store is currently one of the very few places where you can experience the physical version of Mewtwo "Wandering in the Garden".

After confirming the great success of the online version of "Wandering in the Garden", the company headquarters has also seized the time to produce physical versions of Mewtwo and continuously transport these Mewtwo to major cities.

But it will take some time after all.

Therefore, if people in Liming City currently want to experience the physical version of Mewtwo in "Walking in the Garden", this experience store is the best choice.

There are still some differences between the physical version of Mewtwo and the online version of Mewtwo, mainly in the obvious difference in emotional transmission.

The physical version of Mewtwo can bring more intense sensory stimulation to people.

Of course, when it comes to Mewtwo, "Walking in the Garden", there is actually not that big a difference between the online version and the physical version.

After all, its type is here. Although the physical version is more realistic, it does not have much impact on the core fun.

But for many players, they just have this preference.

For your favorite Mewtwo, you must play the physical version to feel satisfied.

For them, playing the online version is like drinking a carbonated drink without bubbles, completely soulless.

In short, Chen She watched this weekend as the company headquarters was busy producing physical versions of Mewtwo. A large number of physical versions of Mewtwo were loaded onto trucks and shipped directly to major cities in the old land by air.

Chen She's previous request for everyone not to work on weekends unless there were urgent matters was also ignored.

Because there is a lot of money to be made in producing physical versions of Mewtwo, this is an emergency! Although Chen She is the president of the company, he can't think of any way to suppress everyone's enthusiasm for work.

In order to ensure that the physical Chaomeng can be delivered to major cities as quickly as possible, it directly uses air transportation. Of course, the Chen Group does not have such financial resources and cannot maintain large transport aircraft by itself, but it can find large logistics companies.

This Mewtwo is now in a very popular state. There is a huge demand for Mewtwo experience stores in major cities. It has no worries about sales. In some places, it is even sold at a higher price.

The experience store is also completely full!

Although several top rewards have been given out so far, compared to the popularity of the experience store and the income brought by Chaomeng itself, these rewards are simply drizzle.

On the contrary, it has stimulated more and more people to come and experience "Wandering in the Garden", thinking that they can also clear a picture in "Wandering in the Garden" and seal their name and this picture forever.

In short, the more popular the experience store becomes, the cooler Chen She feels.

He slumped on the sofa, a little hopeless. Because the income of "Wandering in the Garden" has completely exceeded his expectations.

He must now think carefully about what kind of money-burning method he needs to adopt in order to smooth out the extra profits and return to the original equilibrium state!

The only good news may be that after "The Ember Will Go Out" was released on the online version, although some resources were invested in it, there has still been no improvement so far. This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

"What should I do now? "Wandering in the Garden" is so popular. Even if I want to modify it, everyone will definitely not agree. Moreover, I can't find a suitable reason."

"Now we can only hope for help from outside, for example, some competitors may be jealous of "Wandering in the Garden", but this possibility is slim..."

Chen She thought about it over and over, but was completely at a loss.

But just when he was worried about how to spend the money, a communication request from Lin Luxi came on the bracelet.

After the connection, Lin Luxi's holographic image appeared above the bracelet. Her expression was a little nervous and she said in a panic: "Mr. Chen is not good. Changye Entertainment Group has actually released a Mewtwo that is similar to ours." ! And they have spent a lot of resources on promotion and are completely squeezing the space of "Walking in the Garden"! "

Chen She was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a good thing!

Doesn't this mean that the future revenue of "Xianting Xingwu" will slow down and that I will regain the operating space?

Of course, Chen She couldn't be happy about this kind of thing. After all, Changye Entertainment Group also suffered losses by doing this. But compared to Lin Luxi and others, Chen She was very open-minded, without any psychological burden at all, and would not lose his mind due to anger at all.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "There is no good solution to this kind of thing, just let it take its course. Even though Changye Entertainment Group's new Mewtwo will compress our profit margins to a certain extent, our Mewtwo is the original version after all. , there will still be certain advantages.”

Lin Luxi nodded helplessly: "Okay."

After the communication ended, Chen She immediately searched for relevant information on the Internet through the bracelet.

Sure enough, Changye Entertainment Group urgently launched a new Super Dream today, called "Runner". This Super Dream is very similar to "Walking in the Garden" in terms of gameplay, except that the scene has been changed to a very open sky scene, and the style has also changed a lot.

Players also have to avoid various obstacles while running, and the map is also randomly generated. After passing the level, the map and the name of the passer are permanently sealed.

But Lishan Technology is powerless to do anything about it. The reason is very simple. The laws of this world are similar to those of Chen She's previous life. They will not directly protect the gameplay of the game. At the legal level, this behavior does not constitute plagiarism.

In fact, there is a reason for this law. If the gameplay is protected, then the first company to make a shooting Super Dream can permanently monopolize the gameplay of the shooting Super Dream, and the people behind can no longer develop and design this type of Super Dream.

This is not conducive to the development of the entire industry.

But the emergence of such an extremely similar situation can only be said to be in line with the provisions of the law, but it is more unethical.

Chen She is more open-minded about this, because this is the current situation of the entire industry, and there is no good way to avoid it.

Moreover, the intervention of Changye Entertainment Group has produced a copycat product to compete with "Xian Ting Xin Bu" in just three days, which objectively affects the future revenue curve of "Xian Ting Xin Bu". The reduced profit is actually a good thing for Chen She now.

Of course, we still have to record this Changye Entertainment Group in a small notebook, one thing for one thing. Now Chen She is still in the stage of keeping a low profile. Changye Entertainment Group does this, which objectively allows him to continue to keep a low profile, but if Chen She really has a day to turn over in the future, he will definitely settle accounts with Changye Entertainment Group.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Li Yunhan.

Although Li Yunhan is the gold medal producer of Changye Entertainment Group, Changye Entertainment Group is a new chaebol with many different factions intertwined within the internal forces. Although Li Yunhan, the gold medal producer, can exert a certain influence, he is just a senior worker.

The behavior of Changye Entertainment Group this time is actually very simple, purely for profit. Although "Xiantingxiangbu" is just a casual super dream, it can become popular in a short period of time, which has already demonstrated its huge potential.

For Changye Entertainment Group, it doesn't take much effort to let its R&D department spend three days to quickly copy a game, and the benefits may be huge, so why not do it?

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Changye Entertainment Group's intervention, Chen She's next plan has gradually matured.

Chen She has roughly thought of a way to properly spend this unexpected money, and Changye Entertainment Group has provided him with an excellent reason.

So he stood up and said to Zhang Sirui: "Let's go back to the company!"

...

In the evening, in the conference room in the basement of the headquarters.

The irregular regular meeting, that is, the high-level meeting of the resistance army, was held as usual.

As soon as the meeting started, the responsible people were excited and cursed Changye Entertainment Group.

"Damn Long Night Entertainment Group, it's so abominable! These big chaebols, one by one, will not do anything related to people!"

"Yes, once Long Night Entertainment Group intervenes, the future revenue of "Walk in the Garden" will plummet by at least 40%. And this is a conservative estimate. As Long Night Entertainment Group invests more promotional resources in the super dream "Runner", the impact on "Walk in the Garden" may be even greater."

"Why don't we go and smash a few experience stores of Long Night Entertainment Group to vent our anger!"

"It's a pity that the headquarters of Long Night Entertainment Group is in the Central Federal District, which is too far away. If it is in the Northern Federal District like us, we will not attack Fujido Group, but them first!"

These resistance fighters were all indignant.

Originally, the situation was very good, "Walk in the Garden" was a great success, and military funds were pouring into the company's pockets.

Spend these military funds to buy a batch of good guns, and you can do something big right away.

But I didn't expect that the intervention of Long Night Entertainment Group would lead to a sharp drop in military funds. How can I not be angry?

Chen She was obviously the most rational and calm person at the scene. He knocked on the table gently: "Don't get too excited. We should have expected this kind of thing a long time ago."

"And I guess that in the future, not only Changye Entertainment Group will do this, but other super dream development companies, especially some small companies, will also follow suit and copy us."

"So, everyone should treat this as normal, and don't get impatient because of a little loss of interests."

Lin Luxi said: "But Captain, it's really hard not to be angry. Is there any way we can solve this problem?"

Chen She was waiting for them to ask this question. He paused for a moment, kept it a secret, and then nodded slightly: "There is still a way."

"This is the point I'm going to talk about next."

"At present, after the rapid growth of the income of "Xiantingxiangbu", it has entered a stable period, and the money that can be earned in the future has roughly an accurate figure. For this money, I plan to divide it into three parts."

"The first part is to continue to invest in the super dream "Embers Will Go Out", develop subsequent content, and make this super dream complete."

"Second part, I noticed that many brothers' mechanical prostheses and guns have some minor faults, and many of them have expired, so I plan to treat them equally and comprehensively upgrade their equipment."

"Brothers without mechanical prostheses can consider genetic drugs or other means to enhance combat power."

"Third part, I think we should continue to strengthen the security measures around the experience store."

After these words came out, everyone looked at each other, with some puzzled expressions on their faces.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Captain, do we still need to develop the entire Mewtwo in "Embers Are Going Out"? Whether it is from the experience store or the data from the online version, this Mewtwo seems to have serious problems."

"It seems a bit wasteful to continue to invest money in it?"

Zhang Sirui nodded: "It's a bit wasteful to update mechanical prostheses and guns for everyone."

"If we spread the money evenly, it won't improve our overall strength very much. In my opinion, it's more appropriate to pool the money to buy large equipment."

"And our security measures in the experience store are already beyond the standard. With my personal protection, your safety will not be a big problem, and this money is unnecessary."

Chen She sighed softly, as if sighing at their short-sightedness.

"Lin Luxi just asked me if there is any way to solve the problem of our Mewtwo being copied and copied."

"Here is the solution."

"Why was "Walking in the Garden" copied? The reason is very simple. It has no special technical content and no very clear and irreplaceable characteristics. From the gameplay to the art style, it is the same."

"So, if we want to avoid being copied, we must come up with a Mewtwo that has enough connotation, and at the same time has a high degree of recognition in the style and gameplay, and can create a new school! At that time, it will be difficult for other Mewtwo development companies to copy."

"Even if they make a Mewtwo that seems to be similar on the surface, it will inevitably be a little bit wrong and will not be recognized by players."

"And I think "Embers of Desolation" is such a Mewtwo."

"Although it is not performing well now, that is because players have not yet realized its true excellence."

"In time, when this Mewtwo becomes popular, it will definitely surpass "Walking in the Garden."

"So we must hurry up to develop the complete version and not miss the opportunity!"
