Chapter 1352: Min Jingchao’s Distress

Chapter 1352: Min Jingchao’s Distress

Che Rong might be cursing silently but he did not dare to show it. Instead, he asked, “Boss Li, how do you plan to do publicity?”

After some consideration, Li Shi said, “That’s very simple. First, we have to pay for traditional advertisements based on the standards of Thriller Hostel when it first opened.

“The second is investment. Open more supporting industries around this roller coaster project.”

“Lastly, I’ll finalize the type and location of these industries with Chen Kangtuo and take out a small portion of the profits to split with Tengda.”

“That’s about it.”

“As for you, I think you can consider opening a shop nearby. Of course, you can’t use the Star Bird Fitness model. It would be best to open an experience shop or peripheral shop related to Tengda Games.”

“At the moment, there are no similar shops around Thriller Hostel. Opening one would make up for the gap. Of course, we have to plan the specific layout and operations.”

Che Rong’s expression was serious as he fell into a long silence.

“Wait, Boss Li, let me think about it.”

“In other words, Chen Kangtuo wants the investors to fork out money to promote the roller coaster of Thriller Hostel.”

“The way you do publicity is to fork out your own money for publicity, spend your money on the surrounding businesses, and finally give Tengda a share of the money that you earned.”

Li Shi nodded. “Yes, this is soup. What’s wrong?”

Che Rong scratched his head. “What’s the difference between that and giving money directly to Tengda? Is this called Tengda giving way to us??”

“This is obviously what it means. We serve our own wok, produce our own meat and various ingredients, then give the cooked meat to Tengda, and then drink the soup ourselves!”

Li Shi’s nose nearly crooked from anger. “How can you understand it that way? It’s ridiculous!”

“Why don’t you think about the huge cost that Tengda has already invested in this project?”

“These are hidden costs that you cannot see.”

“If not for Thriller Hostel, would you be able to make money by opening your shop in the old industrial zone?”

“Did the hundred million yuan spent on building the indoor roller coaster fall from the sky or grow from the ground?”

“Let me put it this way. Thriller Hostel has already planned a subway plan. What’s more, it will definitely not be purely a haunted house in the future. It will also develop in the direction of a comprehensive amusement park. It will only become richer in content and have greater human traffic.”

“Under such circumstances, any shop nearby would be able to make money as long as it is not particularly ridiculous!”

“Under such circumstances, why don’t you think Chen Kangtuo found me first?”

“Do you think he would find someone else if I’m not willing to pay and show off?”

“If you don’t understand, think about the shops in the food street. What happened to the shops that were unwilling to work with Tengda? I don’t have to say much, right?”

Che Rong could not help but feel a little ashamed. “Boss Li, you’re right. My words are indeed not worth considering.”

“How about this? I’ll think about what model to make in the shop near Thriller Hostel. I’ll try my best to make use of Tengda Games’ elements.”

“Boss Li, I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll drink soup with Boss Li!”

Li Shi nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, don’t worry. Even though working with Boss Pei will only get you soup, Boss Pei’s projects are more nutritious than others’!”

“Since you’re already on Tengda’s boat with us now, you have to learn Tengda’s business model and understand the rules of cooperation with Tengda.”

“As long as you understand Tengda, you don’t even need to study the market. You just have to follow behind Tengda. How simple is that!”

Che Rong nodded again, deeply convinced by Li Shi’s guidance.

December 7th, Friday…

Guangzhou, Sun Strike Studios.

Min Jingchao had just finished lunch and was about to enter his lunch break.

After the establishment of Bullet Hole 2, the development had been very smooth. Min Jingchao, the chief designer, did not have to worry.

Sun Strike Studios was a mature games company after all. They did not lack money or manpower. They also did not lack FPS development experience. Thus, everything went smoothly.

Of course, the development of certain functions in Bullet Hole 2 had encountered some setbacks. That was because the designers of Sun Strike Studios were used to looking for similar finished games to borrow before making them. Now that they had a pure original plan, they would often be at a loss and caught off guard.

However, under Min Jingchao’s guidance, these small problems were quickly overcome. Sun Strike Studios’ designers also began to slowly get used to this design model that displayed their imagination to their fullest. They even took the initiative to suggest some modification for Min Jingchao to accept.

Amongst them were some rather constructive good suggestions that greatly improved the details of the game.

In addition, the entire project team had been sticking to Min Jingchao’s principle of not working overtime.

At first, many designers were not used to it. They were used to working in the afternoon until they forgot to knock off. Some employees made a mistake on the weekend. They came even though they did not have to work.

Of course, had he really forgotten or was he afraid that Boss Zhou would bear a grudge and hence came to work?

That was hard to say.

At first, no one thought much of it. It was just one or two hours late, and they would work overtime on weekends.

Compared to the high-intensity 996 development state previously, this was already considered a small matter!

However, Min Jingchao attached great importance to this. He repeatedly requested everyone to follow the normal working hours and chase them out every day.

He would not allow everyone to stay in the project team for a minute longer.

Those who were too embarrassed to not come to work overtime saw Min Jingchao’s persistence and that no one else was here. They gradually relaxed at home.

The initial efficiency of development had indeed been reduced because of this. However, Min Jingchao resisted the pressure and was still determined not to let everyone work overtime.

As for low efficiency of development… postpone it, it was not a big deal.

In the end, after a month, the development progress improved. It was quite magical.

Until now, the development of Bullet Hole 2 had stabilized. It should be completed and released as scheduled.

After eating, Min Jingchao felt sleepy for a while. He opened Bunny Tail Live-Stream on his cell phone and watched Teacher Qiao’s live-stream today.

For a work person like Min Jingchao, the one-hour limit did not matter at all.

He had already hung up an hour of focus mode on his cell phone when he was working in the morning. Not only would it not delay anything, but it would also increase his work efficiency.

Just like before, Teacher Qiao was at the bottom of the entire team.

However, Min Jingchao was not concerned about Teacher Qiao at all. Instead, he was concerned about Suffering Travels!

Many details of the Suffering Travels were clearly displayed in front of everyone with Teacher Qiao’s live-stream.

Even though he had produced promotional videos and documentaries on Suffering Travels before, it was still a level away from live-streaming.

Seeing Teacher Qiao suffer, the live-stream room filled with happy bullet screen comments.

However, Min Jingchao could not laugh at all. He only felt bitter.

That was because Zhou Muyan had said that he would send everyone in the project team on Suffering Travels once the development of Bullet Hole 2 was complete!

At that time, Min Jingchao would suffer the same fate as Teacher Qiao. Who would be able to laugh?

Therefore, he had to save himself!

Previously, Min Jingchao had already discussed with Sun Xi that as long as the price of the torturous trip was high enough, Zhou Muyan would definitely cancel this trip if he was distressed about the money. Or he would replace it with other plans.

Anyways, he could go anywhere as long as he did not have to suffer.

However, how could he make Bao Xu set the price very high such that Zhou Muyan would feel pain?

He had to think of a suitable excuse.

If he made it too obvious and Bao Xu saw through it, not only would he not be able to achieve his goal, but he might also lose his life.

Min Jingchao worried about this every day apart from working. He had been worrying until today but still could not think of a good solution.

Min Jingchao became more and more anxious seeing that the second Suffering Travels was about to be officially opened.

“I can’t delay any longer. I have to think of a solution in the next two days!”

“Hurry up and think about what extremely expensive business Tengda has. Think about the pricing standards. You might be able to get some inspiration.”

Min Jingchao ran through Tengda’s current businesses and summarized the more expensive businesses, trying hard to find common points.

From the looks of the current situation, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and other physical industries all met this standard. ROF Computer-Installation, Otto Technologies, and other digital products also met this standard.

However, this was not brainlessly expensive. Instead, it was because a lot of additional value had been added.

Take the Otto cell phone for example. The reason why the first-generation heirs were so expensive and people still bought it was because they had many Tengda’s accompanying services. If all of these were taken into consideration, the cell phone would be quite worth it.

It was the same for other industries. The price had gone up, but the service, quality, and experience had also increased.

“Therefore, it would definitely not work to force Bao Xu to increase the fees for Suffering Travels. He would be suspected.”

“However, if we start from the side and explain the pricing rules to Bao Xu, suggesting that he add more supporting services in the Suffering Travels, it would be reasonable to increase the price.”

“Yes, this way, we won’t be exposed. After all, Bao Xu doesn’t know that Zhou Muyan is arranging Suffering Travels for us.”

Min Jingchao quickly thought of an excuse.

Soon, Teacher Qiao’s training came to an end. It was lunchtime.

The winning team could make their own roasted chicken while the losing team could only eat canned food and various compressed food.

It might be full and nutritious but it was really not delicious!

Needless to say, Teacher Qiao was from the failure team. He watched as the winning team roasted the chicken until it was sizzling. He could almost hear him swallowing his saliva through his cell phone.

Awful, absolutely miserable!

The bullet screen comments also showed their lunch. What skewers, fried chicken and milk tea made Qiao Liang’s mentality collapse. He was so angry that he almost broadcasted it on the spot.

Since it was already lunch break, it meant that Bao Xu had nothing else to do.

Min Jingchao took a deep breath and thought about what he had prepared in his heart again. He wanted to finish everything in one go.

In order not to suffer, he had to persuade Bao Xu to increase the price!
