"You must have never seen a game project like ours that we are looking for dozens of game companies all over the federation to jointly operate, right?" Lu Li asked.
Everyone present shook their heads.
Being able to participate more means that everyone can get a share of it, and there is no game in this world that can be so profitable yet.
In fact, let alone people in this world, even Lu Li had never seen such a posture in his previous life.
Someone in the crowd asked: "So what kind of game is Pokémon that requires so many of our companies to participate?"
"I think it can be called a reality game." Lu Li followed the term "VR game" from his previous life.
"Reality game?"
The game players present started whispering.
Seeing some people who didn't understand, Lu Li explained: "As the name suggests, it allows players to control their handheld consoles, mobile phones, and computers, so that they can truly play games in reality."
"Like the Star Power Shooting game opened by Prospect Company in Jiangnan Forest Park?" Someone suddenly mentioned a certain live-action shooting game developed by Boss Qian.
"almost."
Lu Li nodded and continued to explain: "You may have seen the first promotional video of Pokémon. The core gameplay of this game is the Pokémon spirit itself, including cultivation, battle and capture."
"The actual game model determines that players must have corresponding venues to play."
Lu Li took out a star card from his pocket and played a map of the Eastern Federation in the air. Dozens of blue dots appeared on the projection.
"This is the first phase of the Pokémon project. I plan to set up 'Pokémon Habitats' in a total of 60 cities across the federation.
Players can encounter wild Pokémon in it, battle with them, or even capture them to make them their own Pokémon. "
"So, Mr. Lu wants to find agents in various cities to manage Pokémon habitats?" Some people understood the intention of the plan.
"That's right." Lu Li added, "In the future, when conducting game activities, we can also let agents in various cities operate it."
"Boss Lu."
A thin middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand and spoke: "I am Li Xingzhou from Jinling. I want to ask a question."
He and Qian Jing were called the "Jinling Twins" in the gaming industry, Boss Li.
"What's the problem with Mr. Li?" Lu Li asked.
"According to what you said, opening Pokémon habitats in 60 cities and finding agents is only the first phase of the plan."
Li Xingzhou asked: "Is your company's pace too big? Why don't you try a small-scale trial operation in Haicheng first?"
"No need." Lu Li answered simply, "We have enough funds, and I have enough confidence in Pokémon."
"May I ask how much money Carp Star Card House has prepared for this project?" Li Xingzhou asked, "Would it take a lot of money to book at least one medium-sized park in each city?"
"The investment in the preparation phase is nearly one billion star coins."
The whole place was in an uproar when they heard Lu Li calmly report the budget results.
One billion!
This is too exaggerated.
You know, before this, the investment in the most expensive game in history was only over 10 million star coins.
The budget reported by Lu Li unexpectedly doubled this record by nearly a hundred times!
"It seems that Mr. Lu has great confidence in Pokémon." Li Xingzhou's eyes showed a hint of disdain, "As far as I know, the prospect's Star Power Shooting has not made much profit in the past year, and the profit is barely higher than the cost. .”
"Ahem... at least the business in the first two years was okay." After being pointed out by his old rival, Qian Jing was a little embarrassed and immediately started to quibble.
Li Xingzhou ignored Uncle Qian's embarrassment and continued to ask: "So the genre of 'realistic games' itself cannot guarantee profitability, right?"
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Li's words." Lu Li agreed.
"Assuming that a game can earn 100 star coins in profit, then the sales of Pokémon will need to exceed 10 million copies to make back the money." Li Xingzhou has a straightforward temper and speaks in a rush.
He asked: "Mr. Lu, do you know what the highest sales volume in game history is?"
"Mr. Bai's first version of "Star Force" sold 1.03 million copies, right?" Lu Li answered.
"Do you think Pokémon can double this record ten times?" Li Xingzhou sneered, "You have the crazy capital to become a god in one battle in "Mario Brothers". But young people still have to be down-to-earth."
Li Xingzhou is also a senior in the industry and is relatively well-known.
After hearing his question, everyone present also started discussing in a low voice.
indeed.
No one present would question Lu Li's ability to make games, but his game was simply too big.
No one would think that the investment of one billion star coins would be able to return the money.
"Being in our line of business does require some emotion, but business is business after all..." Li Xingzhou did not continue, but what he wanted to express was already clear.
"Mr. Lu."
A young man stood up. It was Mi Junyi, the up-and-comer in the industry who had given business cards to Qian Jing, Bai and Peiqi before.
At Lu Li's signal, Mi Junyi asked: "Mr. Lu, the game you made is very interesting, and we would like to join it, but the conditions for a start-up company like ours are too difficult, with no funds and no manpower.
It’s no problem if Carp Star Card House wants to find us as a city agent. We don’t care whether Pokémon can get its money back. We only care about how much money you will give us to do this. "
Xiaomi’s speech resonated with many people present.
Most of the game companies are very poor, and it is impossible to free up people to work for Carp Star Card House for free.
"Fifty percent of Pokémon City's profits are your income," Lu Li said. "Every year, after the overall profits are settled at the end of the year, there will be additional dividends."
"Is it gone?"
"We pay for the venue fees in each city." Lu Li added, "Like the prospect, for companies that originally rented Jiangnan Forest Park, we will make up for the corresponding rent."
"That is to say." Mi Junyi adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "As long as we join the Pokémon project, we will both prosper and lose. If the benefits of Pokémon are not good, our work will be in vain?"
"Yes."
Lu Li's tone was very calm: "But I can guarantee that every city agent can make a lot of money."
The scene reached a deadlock for a time.
Everyone present began to think about the subsequent benefits.
"Mr. Lu, with all due respect, I cannot join the Pokémon Project." Li Xingzhou was the first to stand up and said.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Li smiled and said: "To participate in the information session, you must join the Pokémon Project. I am not that rogue yet. If you feel that the conditions are unreasonable, you can leave on your own."
