Empty floors, dirty walls.
Meng Shu stepped on the dust on the ground and came to the window, silently lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
Looking at the green vegetation of the industrial park from the height of the 7th floor, I blew out smoke rings.
"Quote a suitable price."
"Okay, Mr. Meng."
The female agent in professional attire behind her showed her signature smile.
"The location of Jichuang Industrial Park is in a relatively prosperous area. There are various shops and restaurants nearby, and it is less than ten minutes from the subway station. If you really want to rent, this entire floor of more than 500 square meters can be used That’s 4 square meters per day for you.”
After hearing this, Meng Shu nodded.
"The monthly rent is 60,000, right? What about the property management fee?"
"The property management fee is 15 yuan/square meter, paid monthly."
After Meng Shu heard this, he took a deep breath of smoke, exhaled, and let it float in the air.
"67,500."
He turned around, walked into the empty company, and looked at it carefully.
This is one of the rooms on the 7th floor of Building A, Jichuang Industrial Park.
In terms of scale, it’s about 70 square feet.
Originally, Meng Shu didn't plan to consider this place. Even if the location was good, he was ready to change places.
Because it's too small.
But then the agency lady said that the entire floor had been moved, which made him stop.
After careful questioning, I found out that my previous company was a training company. Due to some reasons, I couldn't continue working, so I chose to leave.
Meng Shu doesn’t care what happened to his last company.
Opportunities like this for a whole floor are rare in Shenzhen.
And the area is about 500 square meters. As long as the walls other than the load-bearing walls are opened up, it will look very spacious.
So he thought about it and didn't leave in time.
Instead, I went in and looked at every room.
I have to say, there is a lot of garbage.
The previous training company left a lot of things here.
"Is it possible the price is lower?"
The intermediary suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Meng, this price is already the lowest. It was originally 5 square meters per day. Seeing that you are a young entrepreneur, I negotiated with the landlord for a long time before we got the price of 4 square meters per day."
Meng Shu couldn't help but smile when he saw the intermediary's sincerity.
Just listen to her words.
After looking around, the more I looked, the more satisfied I became, and I vaguely had a decoration plan in my mind.
If we rent this place, we can deploy more personnel.
At the same time, for the sake of employees' health, the fitness room, office desks and chairs have to be upgraded in all aspects.
Therefore, the office area and fitness area should be larger.
We also have to hire a cook to prevent them from eating takeout.
There is enough space to build a larger motion capture room, and since it is a game company, it is reasonable to equip a full-platform game experience room.
At least employees can relax here.
Of course, you may not be able to use it frequently because you are too busy at work.
But it doesn't matter. For Meng Shu, it's no problem to have such a lounge, and the employees will definitely use it.
So after thinking about it for a while, he decided to rent it.
So after discussing the safety hazards and follow-up situations with the agency lady, I went to the agency company to sign the contract.
Next, it’s time to find a suitable decoration company to start designing and decorating.
Meng Shu directly handed over this matter to Finance Sister Mei, and then went to the real estate center.
The new office space has been selected, and all that is left is decoration.
This probably won't be done within half a year.
So I still have to work in my current company.
And due to space problems, there are not many places for new employees, so the recruitment matter has to continue to be put on hold.
At the same time, the console porting work of the three games "Dark Forest", "Blackjack" and "Face" was also outsourced by Meng Shu.
It was originally planned to be handed over to Infinite Entertainment, but they are also developing new games now and cannot spare the time.
Therefore, we can only provide Meng Shu with a few studios with long-term cooperation and good technical skills to choose from.
Meng Shu spent some time getting to know these companies and finally chose a small company called Future Studio.
Although their scale is not large, judging from the company information, they are quite powerful.
They are involved in most FPSs on the market, and they themselves say they are very good at shooting games and are long-term partners of many game companies.
Because their shooting feedback is surprisingly good, they have a good reputation in the industry and among players.
So asking them to help port the game is overkill.
However, this also made Meng Shu feel relieved. He handed over all three games to them for transplantation at once, and the funds were abundant.
The purpose is to allow players who dare not play VR to access horror games in other ways.
As for the VR version of "Dark Forest".
Due to the limitations of engine technology currently on the market, no other company can do it except for its own monkey system.
So you have to do it yourself.
Qiu Yuan, Xu Hong, and Xia Nianzhen are currently working intensively.
Chen An even asked him to expand the plot and add side tasks to the VR version of "Dark Forest".
Meng Shu thought for a while and agreed to the request.
Anyway, everything will be implemented after his review in the end, so let them use it to their fullest.
Now, it's time to find a new home.
...
At this time, due to the global popularity of "Sky Mountain", there were also public accusations from the Game Network.
Many medium and large domestic manufacturers began to re-examine this development company called 'Only Game'.
Although I paid a little attention to the game "Dark Forest" when it was released before, I didn't take it seriously.
After all, the game was a horror game at the time, and it was advertised as a personal development.
Therefore, domestic manufacturers do not think there will be any results.
Just think of it as a whimsical young man who wants to pursue his dream.
Because there are many such people at the College Student Game Show every year.
But what shocked them was that this young man actually succeeded! ?
The game industry is known to be extremely unpopular, but the horror and suspense genre of who does it and who dies actually made this little-known young man and his game popular?
But even so, major manufacturers were only slightly surprised and did not pay attention to it.
After all, the horror game genre has been unpopular for more than ten years.
The sudden release of a popular horror game can be regarded as a flashback before the market dies, or a small wave of calm.
After that, it was still as calm as before.
They will not enter the horror market without thinking because a horror game has become a hit. Entering rashly without experience is an act of seeking death.
It's better to just stick to the type of games you're good at.
And for more than a decade, there have been many bold companies venturing into this unpopular market to make profits, but they have all ended in failure.
With so many failed examples in the past, they don't want to blindly spend a large budget and manpower to develop a horror game with an uncertain future just because of the only successful case.
Therefore, the popularity of "Dark Forest" did not make the manufacturers take it seriously. They even thought that it was just the right time and the right place, and the next game may not have such results.
but...
They never expected it.
After "Dark Forest", this young man actually fell in love with Infinite Entertainment!
Then, relying on financial backers, the VR horror game "Blackjack" was launched!
And it’s free!
VR + free + horror, combined together, at a time when the horror environment was extremely poor and VR games were terrible, it was undoubtedly a gift from heaven!
So not surprisingly, this horror game has become popular again. The 410W download volume has made manufacturers realize that the horror game market has gradually recovered!
It is no longer the stagnant water it once was!
It's the 'XX market' where there are a lot of players and a lot of money!
As a result, major domestic manufacturers paid attention and began to conduct comprehensive market research.
But after all, this market has been cold for so long that no one has experience in making horror games.
If you enter the game rashly with 0 experience, you will only be crushed by "Dark Forest" and "Blackjack". You will become a stepping stone for others and use your own reputation to achieve success for others.
no!
So you still have to be cautious, or at least have experience!
As a result, major manufacturers began to recruit talents and recruit talents to prepare for entering the horror game market.
As for the only game, they still didn't take it seriously. After all, Infinite Online Entertainment had a good reputation.
The success of the game will only be attributed to the strength of this leading company, not the only one who 'works' in the game.
As a result, they have always believed that Infinite Entertainment is the only owner of games.
Then, major manufacturers gathered talents to study "Dark Forest" and "Blackjack" and analyze their gameplay and mechanisms.
Under this circumstance, the advent of "Face" once again shocked the manufacturers.
This new game has unprecedented rational settings, unique plot performances, a terrifying horror experience, and a confusing story background.
With super high quality, it once again conquered players.
The manufacturers suddenly couldn't sit still.
They see it in their eyes and are anxious in their hearts.
If this continues, the entire horror game market will be owned by Infinite Online Entertainment.
Therefore, manufacturers began to desperately plan to release a game to test the waters and see the market response.
Try out experience without experience, after all, this thing is accumulated!
With this idea in mind, manufacturers began to act.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a dark horse actually appeared halfway!
Jiyou Network came out with his "Jungle Cry" and dominated the market.
With its own technical hard power, it crowds out other manufacturers and uses the horror games it launches to dominate the crowd.
Then it got cold.
The kind that can't be saved.
This has made major manufacturers wary again.
The history of horror games has repeated itself!
Even the leading company's technical game network failed miserably, so how can small and medium-sized companies like them dare to spend money on trial and error?
However, people have been recruited, working groups have been established, and games have been analyzed. Should we give up halfway?
Looking at the horror game market, major manufacturers decided to use the failure of technical games as a warning. I immediately immersed myself in it and planned to work slowly and carefully, focus on quality, and develop my own horror game to avoid following the footsteps of technical games.
In this way, it was still in production until "Sky Mountain" was released.
At the same time, the prize-giving activity of the only game made them take it seriously.
In their eyes, this company is positioned as a 'part-time job'. In less than a year since its establishment, it has already produced a global hot-selling game.
They also spent money to hold free activities to give back to players.
Do you think Infinite Online Entertainment would be so kind?
That's definitely impossible. We all work in the same industry and have some understanding of all kinds of virtues.
Capitalists give money to a group of gamers, or is it just for playing games?
Will Infinite Entertainment do this?
joke!
So the only one who can take out this money and make decisions on his own is the game himself.
If they were really working as part-timers, Infinite Entertainment would definitely not agree to do this.
So the relationship between the two families...
Maybe it's not what the outside world thinks...
The quality of the unique game's works is surprisingly high, its technical strength has also reached the VR field, and it is very daring for players...
These alone are enough for manufacturers to pay attention to.
So, a company called Xingheng Games paid attention to the only game.
