The strongest game production method

===

"This is my contact information, three Huicun."

The factory owner led Zou Haiyao, Meng Ai, and Yu Hanguang who had just visited the workshop to the office. After changing their work clothes, they exchanged business cards one after another and sat down on the sofa.

Meng Ai stared at the business card for a few seconds, and then his eyes were attracted by a few group photos on the office wall: "Are you here the mobile classrooms of several colleges and MBAs of Yida University?"

The boss poured the kettle to make tea: "Yes, it's because of this relationship that we can contact Mr. Zou."

"I asked the director of the MBA center. The director led the way and strongly recommended us to come to you to learn more." This visit was scheduled urgently, and Zou Haiyao explained the way at this time.

"Actually, I'm half of your alumni," the boss said with a calm face, "I worked as a worker and managed a workshop, and later I was admitted to Yizhou University."

Yu Hanguang was startled at first, then admiration rose in his eyes.

"Is your place very lively?" Meng Ai asked.

The boss brought the tea cups in front of the three of them: "It's not lively, but there are more foreigners, regular customers, and people from foreign trade companies. We do both OEM export and processing with supplied materials."

"Teachers at Yida also like to bring students to practice and visit, and move the classroom! There are also teachers who start their own companies, and occasionally come to chat."

Meng Ai nodded: "Yida respects the integration of 'industry-university-research'."

The boss shrugged his shoulders, turned around and put the kettle back: "Recently, the province and the city have a publicity policy. Reporters who are interviewing come to my place every three days. No, I have to have hot water ready at any time."

"Have you watched the TV series "The Awakening Age"?" He joked, "At that time, revolutionaries ran newspapers and talked about new culture and new youth. Now reporters write articles about new energy and new wisdom."

In addition to the water boiler, there are many robot samples of different sizes scattered on the boss's desk; a stack of business cards tied with light yellow rubber bands is neatly placed beside him.

Yu Hanguang glanced at the desk from the corner of his eye: "You really care about family affairs, state affairs and world affairs, and you care about everything. No wonder the business is doing so well."

Hearing Yu Hanguang's beautiful words, the boss grinned: "The factory earns hard money."

"When we left the workshop, we had to disassemble the drawings, check the nuclear materials, send out the assembly and commissioning package... none of it was easy. After a day, our calves were soft, and we couldn't even stand up straight." The boss sighed slightly, " If it’s the end of the year or the busy season, and there are too many orders, you have to sprint [-] meters if you want to take a pee.”

Meng Ai said with a smile: "At this time, it's really not the right time for us to come."

The boss shook his head and stretched out his index finger: "The three of you are rare customers. Speaking of which, your company is the only one who comes here to do Internet work in China."

"I thought you didn't like it. You sit in high-rise buildings every day, eat coffee, and look at computers. It's comfortable, and the money comes in quickly. Most of them are people who have sharpened their heads and drilled in. Well, we have a lot of them here. Everyone ran away. How could anyone want to come to the factory!"

Yu Hanguang had just seen the huge workshop, and there were not as many workers as he had imagined, so he asked, "We are not uncomfortable at all. Is it so difficult for the factory to recruit people now?"

The boss sighed: "It's not just now, we couldn't recruit suitable workers 800 years ago. Everyone has a prejudice against the factory, and there is a labor shortage!"

"The workers in the factory are all regular full-time workers, with five social insurances and one housing fund. We don't take advantage of those interns and temporary workers, but no one is willing to do it just like that. It was hard to persuade a few to work in the factory. I have to leave in two days, I have to apply for training classes, and I have to write code.”

"Hey! You can't say that young people are impetuous. Anyway, I think it's a pity. Some people can't play with computers. If they work here, they may be able to do better."

Not only is the development of the physical industry limited, when young people follow suit in a certain industry, it will push this industry into some kind of deformed arena.

Yu Hanguang sincerely felt that the boss was able to support such a large factory was not accidental, and it was not easy.

"To be honest, the intelligent robot in my family is from you." He checked the foundry of Woerwo, "I see that you mainly make robots here, and if you have a headset..."

The boss got into the storage cabinet, worked in it for a long time before he took out a box, and said to the three: "I'm not going to hide it, there was a round of VR boom a few years ago, we did OEM for a foreign company .”

"The company disappeared before the goods were delivered to the port. I believed in their evil and made CFR (1), and the balance of the letter of credit has not been recovered yet."

"Fortunately, the list is not big, but it was done for nothing for a few months."

Yu Hanguang remembered that when he was still in high school, VR games actually had a small peak period.

At that time, game companies and equipment manufacturers each occupied the mountain as kings, and the arms race was also engaged in content and hardware.

However, due to the lack of technology, too few games and incompatibility with each other, the entire ecology of VR games has not yet been established, and the torrent has quickly disappeared before it has time to brew forward.

Only white foam remains on the surface of the water, unwilling to go away with the wind.

Presumably this lost company is just one of thousands of froth.

"If you don't dislike it, take it back and have a look, and discuss it after reading it."

He took out a head-mounted display sample from the box and dusted it off: "There is a small assembly line in the factory that was originally made for head-mounted displays. After there was no order, it was changed to robots. Although it is not for those big brands, the quality is also good." It’s worth it.”

"Comparison is not terrible, whoever does poorly is embarrassed."

"As long as there are components and structural drawings, it can be done. Chinese people do not lie to Chinese people."

The three couldn't help smiling.

……

The factory is located in the industrial park in the southeast of Yizhou City, almost a suburban county, and it is just a diagonal line across the whole city from the future entrepreneurial city where Aimeng is located.

After leaving the gate, Yu Hanguang was blinded by the cold wind with dust, and in a daze, he saw the three flashing characters of "Yizhou South" above the train station.

It was Zou Haiyao who drove the car when he came. After the visit, a busy man had something to do, so he disappeared in his coupe.

Although the number of trips with Meng Ai has not been many in the past few years, Yu Hanguang vaguely remembered that Meng Ai was very disgusted with the shared electric father, so he clicked on the taxi app and called a special car back to the company.

The black commercial vehicle quickly stopped in front of him. Yu Hanguang was holding the case with the headset in his arms. He wanted to get into the passenger seat, but was pushed into the back seat by Meng Ai—he took a deep breath when he got into the car.

Lao Meng didn't know what feelings he wanted to express.

Sure enough, seeing Meng Ai leaning on the back seat, he slightly raised his head and let out a long sigh: "Yu Hanguang."

"Here, boss." Yu Hanguang imitated the tone of the intelligent robot sample he saw just now.

He has a natural talent for enlivening the atmosphere.

The smell of inferior lemon fragrance drifted through the car.Yu Hanguang opened the window of the car, and a gust of cold wind struggled to squeeze in. He couldn't help pulling the baseball jacket that was opened tightly.

"Why do you suddenly want to make hardware?" Meng Ai squinted at his ears, "Do you really want to compare with Zhuang Chaofei and Yang Ye?"

Still can't hide it from the eyes of the boss.

Yu Hanguang said sincerely: "At first it was. Now it's not. Now I want to compare myself. My mind has been opened, so I can't take it back."

Meng Ai did not answer the conversation, but made an inventory to himself: "The market is monopolized by foreign brands, with high barriers to entry, narrow application level, technical blind spots, heavy assets, and long investment return cycle... It's too much trouble, but any normal Game companies won't do it."

He moved his eyes to Yu Hanguang's neckline, and saw the dangling zipper shining with silver light: "If you sell clothes, will you spend money to make zippers yourself? Let's not talk about whether it can be made, even if it is done, it may not be sure at the commercial level. Well worth it."

The journey was bumpy, Yu Hanguang stretched out his hand to support the box: "Lao Meng, it can't be compared like this. It's an industry, not a business."

"Do you still remember what Wei Bo said when "99" was established?"

Meng Ai suddenly turned his head and looked out the car window.

Yu Hanguang couldn't see his expression, so he had to continue: "The iteration and development of an industry depends on tossing. Lao Meng, you must understand this truth, otherwise why do you want to do NewLab? It will never be idle and boring. I will report to you and Lao Zou in two lines!"

The e-mails of Aimeng's establishment of NewLab have been released, Zou Haiyao is the general manager, and Yu Hanguang is in charge of the implementation; so that Yu Hanguang has a headache every week for the two weekly reports for Meng Ai and Zou Haiyao.

"We need to get the business running first, and then verify the business model. If the business model is reliable, the industrial chain will become more than half." Yu Hanguang said again. "Opportunities are all tossed out. When the time comes, we have the final say."

He and Wei Bo had breakfast together every day, and they had already thought about it carefully and had an in-depth chat.

"You're right." After a moment of silence, Meng Ai turned her head. "Doing the right thing is a choice; doing the right thing is hard work."

"Aimeng can't keep standing still, we are working hard to upgrade from a game company to a technology company. It's just..."

The driver of the special car had already turned on the air conditioner, and the heating and the cold wind blowing from the window from time to time confronted each other.Yu Hanguang sat downwind, his earlobes flushed red from the hot and cold air currents.

Meng Ai tried her best to restrain her hand that was about to reach out, but suddenly she saw Yu Hanguang's palm raised to her ear, and a soft female voice came from the phone faintly.

"Well, I'm not busy, it's convenient, you said, I really like to eat. Really? Auntie is too polite, the courier will put it in the express cabinet, and I will pick it up when I receive the message. If it doesn't work, let the courier throw it at the door .By the way, have you talked to... your brother..."

Although the excitement in the words was covered up by the blunt tone, it still overflowed from the corners of his eyes and brows uncontrollably.

While talking on the phone, Yu Hanguang glanced at Meng Ai warily from time to time.

"Why, are you still hiding it from me?" Meng Ai reached into his pocket to touch the e-cigarette, his expression was also vague, "Yu Hanguang, have you got a girlfriend? The little girl is a bit strict."

Hanging up Wei Li's phone, Yu Hanguang felt guilty for a moment, so he had to lie: "Nothing. It's a distant cousin. I helped their family a little favor a few days ago. Her mother sent me some special products, fruits, Crisp candy or something."

"Where did you find your girlfriend? Boss, don't make wild guesses. There is only one thing in my heart, and that is work."

The car made small turns continuously, and the bodies of the two leaned back and forth from side to side.

The driver of the special car looked in the rearview mirror of the car and explained politely: "The road is being built here."

Meng Ai looked back understandingly through the rearview mirror.

The driver relaxed and said, "It looks like the two gentlemen came here from other places for inspection. We will soon arrive at the most famous Yuhu scenic spot. Do you want to go for a drive? The scenery is very good."

After the travel market has been shared a large share of the electric daddy, the taxi business is not booming.Yu Hanguang silently complained that even the driver of the special car started to earn the detour fee of more than ten and twenty yuan.

He was about to refuse, but Meng Ai pressed half of the car window: "Okay, just take a look."

There is often haze in early winter in the south of the Yangtze River, and the pale sun hangs in the sky, as if it has become some kind of decoration.

"After the rain, the sky is clear, the lake and the mountains are clean, I asked where Mr. Lang lived, and I will knock at the door some other day——Xie——" (2)

For a while, there were aunts and uncles babbling along the road, humming softly like a water mill.

The driver completely opened up the chatter box: "This is our local opera in Yizhou, which sings about scholars and goblins."

"Yizhou has produced literati and scholars since ancient times. I am tired of singing about wits and beauties. Who are fox lovers, champions and fairies? Only weird stories are interesting."

Meng Ai just laughed.

Yu Hanguang couldn't understand the boss's smile at all at the moment, his mind was full of tricky projects, and he really didn't have the good fortune to enjoy the beauty of being quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

In elementary school Chinese class, he had learned the principle of "integration of scenes"-viewing scenery, in fact, has a lot to do with state of mind.The scenery in front of you must match the thoughts in your heart, otherwise you will not be able to see it.

It is not a problem of scenery, let alone a problem of people.

The special car was crowded in the sea of ​​traffic and couldn't move at all.Meng Ai looked at the crowds of grandpas and aunts carrying lunch boxes and tea mugs on the side of the road: "What day is it today? There are so many people."

"Looking at the route, it should be that the new temple on the back mountain is giving out porridge. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar."

The driver glanced at the crowd that was almost blocking the road, subconsciously wanted to honk the horn, and then remembered that honking is prohibited in the scenic spot, so he said depressedly: "On the first day of this month when the temple opened, I served porridge once. Come again today."

"Go to the orphanage? You're here." Yu Hanguang suddenly remembered the temple on the hillside of the back mountain, and he didn't expect it to be repaired.

Yizhou's speed is really extraordinary.

Meng Ai looked at the phone: "Forget it, I'm in a hurry. I didn't expect the scenic spot to be so congested on weekdays. It's hard to say whether I can go back before the evening peak."

"Actually, I shouldn't have come here." He lost his authenticity again.

Yu Hanguang smelled a trace of sadness floating in the air, thinking that Meng Ai was in a hurry to work.After thinking about it, he opened his mouth cautiously: "Boss, I happen to be free now, so please approve my payment agent first."

"Why is there still money?" Meng Ai restrained his thoughts, turned on his phone in surprise, and jumped to the approval page.

He has a strong memory for numbers, and instantly noticed the amount on the receipt: "Is it so much more than last time?"

"StarKey worked harder a few years ago," Yu Hanguang swallowed, and said honestly, "This time, we changed our strategy, and hard advertising won't work. If you don't believe me, look at the ones on our commercial platform..."

Some advertisers come from traditional industries. They only see that the commercial platform of Aimeng has a lot of traffic. They neither understand the true meaning of interlacing like a mountain, nor are they willing to seriously study what players like to watch. "—So I smashed some embarrassing and self-deprecating rigid advertisements. The number of views is spectacular, but the conversion rate is very unsatisfactory.

After going back and forth, I have been anxious with Yang Ye more than once.

"So we tried to make some softer content, and embed the game into the live broadcast and video. Because the creative part needs to add money, the cost is more."

"But the ROI will not be low," Yu Hanguang swears against the roof of the car, "The effect is not good, and my surname is Meng."

These few words seem to be a password, unlocking the smile on Meng Ai's face: "We will use the money earned from StarKey to eat the reunion dinner, and there will be a special analysis meeting after the year. Whether to eat a big meal or drink porridge, it depends on you." months of performance."

"Then I really have a long way to go, do I have to pursue a few more budgets?" Yu Hanguang heaved a sigh of relief, and put his palm on the cardboard box, "By the way, I helped the company earn money for the headset."

"The headset will start after the Chinese New Year." Meng Ai said.

Yuhu is such a gentle place, it wears down your will after watching it for a long time.

Meng Ai closed the car window tightly, and suddenly felt that his throat was dry and itchy, like a small wind tunnel had been broken, and he needed something to anesthetize and fill it up.

With his hands buried in his pockets, he squeezed and loosened the electronic cigarette.

Finally failed to stick out.
