Under the bright light of the tea room, Chen Ran could see the wolf-like light in Hao Rui's eyes.
There have been too few good projects in the past few years, and the rise of science and technology biology has made most people focus on the field of hard technology.
In the gaming field, it is difficult to make new breakthroughs in the traditional mobile game market, and it is almost impossible for new entrepreneurial companies to replicate the success of Lilith and MiHoYo.
The dividend period of mobile Internet has passed, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit a few people to make popular products.
On the new VR terminal, small startups have no basis for survival at all.
Because the cost of brain-computer connected VR game development may be similar to that of traditional games, but now all the talents are in big companies, and the cost of poaching people from big companies is too high.
There must be at least a 50% salary increase to attract the other party to jump out of a big factory and start a business with you.
In this era, painting a cake is no longer feasible. You have to give me a real cake before I can do it with you.
Therefore, startups that engage in brain-computer connected VR games do not exist.
Hao Rui, as the head of investment in the game field of Goose Factory, has found it difficult to find good projects in recent years.
Last year was even more exaggerated. It only invested in two overseas game companies throughout the year, one in Southeast Asia and the other in Poland.
The sudden emergence of Red Fox Studio is like a hidden gem in the ocean.
There are actually startups doing VR game development, and they are doing so well.
The internal evaluation of "The Feather of Breaking Law" is S-level, thinking that this is a game with unlimited potential.
After the Goose Factory learned about Chen Ran's background, they immediately took a look at their game plan for the internal competition at that time.
If "The Feather of Breaking the Law" plagiarizes the plan they made in Goose Factory, then Goose Factory can do whatever it wants.
This is equivalent to taking the work you did at your previous company and using it for yourself after leaving.
For Nanshan Pizza Hut, this is tantamount to courting death.
Unfortunately, Chen Ran is from the Goose Factory and knows too much about the urine properties of the Goose Factory.
"The Feather of Breaking the Law" is not similar to the previous project except that it is also set in the late Ming Dynasty.
So Hao Rui didn't have a good way to control the other party.
At Chen Ran's level, he was close to signing a non-competition agreement.
Just in a state of neither going up nor down.
"Goose Factory's rich experience in the game industry for more than 20 years can be your best step to success."
Seeing that Hao Rui believed what he said, Chen Ran said directly:
"Levi, let's open the skylight and talk openly. I am also a gamer who has been in the Goose Factory for more than five years."
"I still know the style of Goose Factory very well."
"In the field of game development, Goose Factory has nothing to do with console games. You should also know how the so-called internal incentive plan will be implemented."
“The biggest benefit of our cooperation with Gouchang is probably the computing power of Gouchang Cloud.”
"But do you think our light and shadow effects are lacking in computing power?"
Hao Rui was silent and didn't pause for long. He knew that Chen Ran knew Goose Factory too well and wanted to change his mind:
"You know Goose Factory's global distribution channels. Currently, there is only Futureverse, a brain-computer connected VR platform."
"And Goose Factory has a great say in this platform."
"If Red Fox cooperates with us, we will give you the best promotion methods."
Chen Ran only asked: "Can you guarantee that you will get the version number without affecting the theme of the game?"
This sentence instantly broke Hao Rui's guard: "No."
Even Goose Factory can't do anything about the game version number. They have to change it no matter what the above says.
It’s almost impossible to get a license for a game like Spellbuster.
"The Wings of Spellbreaker can be purchased through Steam. We have a cooperative relationship with Steam and can help you get the best recommendation on Steam for VR."
"At the same time, Goose Factory will help you attract traffic through major anchors on major VR live broadcast platforms."
This is very attractive to Chen Ran.
In the gaming field, the appeal of anchors is very strong.
"What do we have to pay?"
Hao Rui: "500 million yuan, 70% of the shares, and the goose factory needs absolute control."
Is this price expensive? Not expensive.
The game science behind "Black Myth Wukong" is estimated to be between 1 billion and 1.5 billion yuan.
They had only had one game with the Crimson Tide before.
The light and shadow effect displayed in "The Feather of Breaking Law" is much stronger than that of Black Myth.
The core development teams of both companies also come from Goose Factory.
It also became popular based on the actual machine demonstration screen.
The valuation of Goose Factory also refers to the scientific valuation of the game.
It was already worth it for Chen Ran. He received 150 million yuan in Series A investment from Meilin, and the Series B investment in Goose Factory increased to 500 million yuan, a 70% stake.
The valuation increased thirty-fold.
But Chen Ran knew what Goose Factory valued, which was their engine for creating light and shadow effects. This engine was much better than the VR game engine developed by Goose Factory.
This is truly valuable.
Currently, no game company on the market has a mature enough game engine in the field of VR.
But the problem is that this game engine is not his, Merlin gave it to him.
He has neither the power nor the ability to sell this.
Chen Ran also wanted to see how the underlying code of the game engine that Merlin used for him was written.
Not only does he have no power to sell engines, he also has no power to sell Red Fox Studio, which is also Merlin's company.
Chen Ran is just the agent on the surface.
Moreover, Chen Ran himself did not want to cooperate with Goose Factory. In his opinion, after Goose Factory acquired 70% of the shares, it meant that he was absolutely controlled.
Although Goose Factory has a much better reputation than Ali in the investment community, it does not mean that they will not interfere with the game companies they acquire.
The main reason why Chen Ran left Goose Factory was that he could not adapt to the internal style of Goose Factory games.
Being absolutely controlled is equivalent to going back in circles.
Chen Ran said: "Levi, I only have a small share of Red Fox, and the company's major shareholder is someone else."
"It's not up to me to decide."
"I need to report before I can give you an answer."
Hao Rui smiled and said: "No problem, I hope we can reach cooperation."
"Even if you are unwilling to accept our shareholding, we still hope that Red Fox can hand over the issuance to Goose Factory."
“After all, brain-computer connection VR is a platform owned by Goose Factory.”
When Goose Factory executives are outside, they usually emphasize that although the developer of brain-computer connected VR is called Kechuang Biotech, Goose Factory and Kechuang Biotech have the same shareholding ratio.
For those who don’t know the inside story, it is directly said that brain-computer connection VR is a platform of Goose Factory.
Hao Rui's meaning is vaguely threatening. You can only publish on a brain-computer connected VR, and Goose Factory has the ability to block your way.
Chen Ran was not afraid. During the internal competition at the goose factory, he was lucky enough to add Li Miaomiao's WeChat account.
Since Li Miaomiao would be interested in his plan back then, she would definitely be interested in "The Feather of Breaking the Law".
A mature product is definitely much more attractive than a simple demo, and "Father of the Law Breaker" is a more fully polished product by them.
If the goose factory doesn't let them go, Chen Ran plans to contact Li Miaomiao directly.
Chen Ran knew very well how amazing the power in the hands of the general manager of Kechuang Biotech was.
Just give her a few words and the problem will be solved.
Li Miaomiao has been worried every day during this period. She has not contacted Zheng Li for a long time.
Since Zheng Li went to the Huaguo Research Base, Li Miaomiao didn't ask any more questions due to the confidentiality agreement.
Not long after, Zheng Li told her:
"I discovered a planet that conforms to the Heber algorithm in the SPT0402-47 galaxy. Don't disturb me with anything during this period. In addition, the data center will use a large part of its computing power to do this with all its strength. Please find an explanation. Come and prevaricate over the institute."
"During this period, all company content will be decided by you. If you really need me to determine the content, wait until I am done with my work."
After Apple announced that it had become the first company to successfully poach Magi, Zheng Li knew that his vest could start to move.
Zheng Li's character is originally a genius, and he was a top scientific research talent in Nature in his freshman year.
It’s not surprising that his team found magi.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The character Chen Ran has been written before, so I have to fill in the gaps.
As for me, I will try my best to write more every day. I am already promoting the plot. Zheng Li, the vest, will gain magical abilities and be able to participate more deeply in the research of Blue Star Civilization.
Regarding water, I can only say that there is a little less water. If the web article is not watery, it will be too dry. I am asked to find papers to translate from English to Chinese every day. It gives me a headache when I write it, and everyone also has a headache when reading it, hahaha
