Chapter 85 "Running Kart" Development Plan

Xue Mingtao pondered for a while. He had already thought about this question before, but Chen Ping just proposed some changes to the game, so Xue Mingtao also needed to think again.

But just a moment later, Xue Mingtao said decisively: "To develop this game, it will take a team of 30 to 50 people, it will take eight to nine months, and the total investment will be about 20 million to 25 million! "

Hearing the numbers given by Xue Mingtao, Chen Ping frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "For this game, I already have a detailed overview of the game in my mind. The company has been around for so long, and you should know that when the game "Plants vs. Zombies" was developed, I can tell you clearly that during the development of this game, I can play a role in the development of "Plants vs. Zombies". Zombies is the same role in the development process of the game, if this is the case, will these numbers change?"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xue Mingtao's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew very well that the game "Plants vs. Zombies" only took about half a month before and after the development. Individuals, plus Chen Ping, is a full ten people, and the total investment is only hundreds of thousands.

For the game "Plants vs. Zombies", this is really too little investment.

And Chen Ping's role in the development of this game is irreplaceable and crucial.

Therefore, Xue Mingtao is also very clear that if Chen Ping can play the same role in the second game developed by Coslight Technology, even if it can only play half of the previous role, it will also be able to greatly reduce this new game. The cycle of game development!

Thinking of this, Xue Mingtao also sat down, subconsciously took the pen and paper that Chen Ping had just put in front of him, while thinking about it, he quickly calculated.

Seeing Xue Mingtao's actions, Chen Ping also smiled slightly and didn't care.

It is said that Xue Mingtao's actions are really disrespectful. This kind of work should not be done in front of his boss. Instead, he should take the questions raised by the boss and go back and carefully draw a conclusion before reporting to Chen Ping. .

But Xue Mingtao's actions at the moment, Chen Ping saw it, but he didn't feel uncomfortable, but gave Xue Mingtao a very approving look.

In Chen Ping's view, Xue Mingtao is not really a businessman. His essence is just a game developer. He has always maintained a high degree of enthusiasm for game development, and this is what Chen Ping wants to see most. It is precisely for this reason that Chen Ping valued Xue Mingtao's qualities at the beginning, and selected Xue Mingtao from among those candidates.

Therefore, Chen Ping at this moment did not stop Xue Mingtao's actions, but quietly waited for Xue Mingtao to give his results.

After a long time, Xue Mingtao let out a long sigh, slowly put down the pen in his hand, then raised his head, looked at Chen Ping in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, according to my calculation, if You can play the same role as before, then to develop this game, we need a technical team of 20 to 30 people to work together, which lasted between two months and three months, and the total investment is about 15 million! Of course, As I said before, the figures refer to the total investment and do not include the rental and purchase of servers!”

Hearing Xue Mingtao's last words, Chen Ping nodded slightly. He naturally knew that the rental and purchase of servers was not a small number.

However, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. will develop more than one online game in the future, so Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. naturally has another set of plans for the lease and purchase of servers.

At that time, Coslight Technology only needs to purchase enough server groups to maintain the operation of various online games.

That's why Chen Ping didn't pay too much attention to the last sentence Xue Mingtao said.

In the early stage of Coslight Technology's development, the server must still be leased, and it is impossible to buy it directly. You must know that buying a server directly is a huge investment. Now Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has no way to bear such a high investment. Even To develop this brand new game, Coslight Technology's funds seem to be stretched.

At present, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has tens of thousands of dollars left on its books. Chen Ping is still waiting for the funds for the third group purchase to arrive. Naturally, it is impossible to spend too much money to buy servers.

So Chen Ping didn't take this matter to heart, but after pondering for a moment, he said decisively: "In this case, as I just said, you should recruit people as soon as possible, and wait until all the people are recruited. , the development of our game will be officially put on the right track!"

Xue Mingtao nodded immediately and agreed.

Although Xue Mingtao knew a little about the company's funds, he did not raise his own doubts in front of Chen Ping. Whether the company's funds are sufficient is not something that Xue Mingtao, the manager of the game development department, needs to consider. All he needs to consider is the formation of the team and the development of the game.

The game of running and running kart may gradually decline in a few years, but Chen Ping is very clear that in the past life, the game of running and running kart was once very popular, especially in China, as long as it was still in that period. Almost 99% of people who play online games have played this racing game!

The game operation method of running kart is also relatively simple, and it is for this reason that this game can be completely popular.

However, the reason why this game will gradually decline later, there are many factors, and the two most important factors, one is because the update of this game is too slow, and it can't keep up with the times at all. More and more beautifully crafted games are appearing on the market, but the game's graphics and other aspects have not improved in the slightest. Under the big waves, this game has gradually declined.

On the other hand, it is also because of a domestic Internet giant company, Tencent, which launched the game Tencent Speed. The screen is more dazzling. Although the operation is not simpler than this game, it also has its own uniqueness.

Combining these two reasons, as well as some other reasons, this game will gradually decline, and in the end, not many people are even playing this game.

But for Chen Ping, this game is, after all, a hit game that was once a hit.

Seizing this opportunity now and launching this game can also make a good start for Coslight Technology's official entry into the domestic online game market.

The company that originally developed this game is a Korean game company, and it is also the game development company of the popular Bubble Hall on the market now.

The character model of the game Run Run Kart is the prototype of Bubble Hall.

In fact, the investment required to develop such a relatively simple online game generally does not reach the level of tens of millions, but I want to buy the character model and the right to use the bubble hall from the Korean online game company. , plus some other investment in copyright use, a total investment of millions is required, so the estimated amount of the final investment will reach as much as 15 million.

Otherwise, with the role Chen Ping can play in the process of game development, the development of this game will only require millions at most.

Chen Ping gave Xue Mingtao half a month to form a team. After half a month, the development of the game of running kart will be officially put on the agenda.

However, during this half-month period, Chen Ping has another plan. He plans to move Coslight Technology Company to Pingjiang City.

In the next few years, Chen Ping will go to university in Pingjiang City after all, and Pingjiang City, as the capital of Dongjiang Province, is much more prosperous than Anhe City. In such a small city as Anhe City, the development of The speed will also be much slower.

Although Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. is an Internet company, its development also requires a good environment. For future convenience, Chen Ping simply set up the headquarters of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. in Pingjiang City.

During this half-month period, Chen Ping needed to completely transfer Coslight Technology to Pingjiang City.

Although under normal circumstances, Chen Ping needs to wait until the end of August, when the university starts, before going to Pingjiang City, but for the development of his future career, Chen Ping decided to go ahead, lest the second game is in the process of development, the company It is also necessary to carry out migration, which is likely to lead to the leakage or even loss of game development data, which is not worth the loss.

For this idea, Chen Ping also considered it again and again, and then asked Xu Weihua, Xue Mingtao and others to discuss it together.

Everyone also agreed with Chen Ping's plan. The company's relocation to Pingjiang City will also be beneficial to the company's future development. Naturally, they will not refuse.

On the evening of July 2, after the company had dealt with the affairs at hand, Chen Ping glanced at the time, then got up and packed up, and hurried to the Four Seas Hotel.

Tonight, Chen Zhiguo and Fang Mei entertained guests, entertained family and friends, and celebrated Chen Ping's admission to the top spot in the college entrance examination. Naturally, the protagonist Chen Ping could not be absent, and he also needed to rush over in advance.

For these relatives, although Chen Ping doesn't have too many feelings in his heart, but the courtesy exchanges, at least on the surface, Chen Ping will still do a good job.

In fact, most people don't have much affection in their hearts for such relatives who cannot be contacted several times throughout the year.

But the difference is that Chen Ping will maintain the minimum respect for these relatives, and when the other party encounters difficulties, if he has the ability, he will spare no effort to help.

But a lot of people are ignorant of such relatives.

This is the fundamental difference in life, and also the biggest difference between Chen Ping and his uncle's family!
