Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 289: Wait for a better time

Views:

At this time, Pei Qian had just left the headquarter of Fengfeng Logistics and was about to go to Moyu Internet Cafe Huanyutian Street store to have a look.

After all, the game can no longer be controlled, and now we must hurry up and spend the money.

The progress on the side of Fengfeng Logistics is going well, and Lu Mingliang is making no time to recruit people to open a new store.

Originally, Lu Mingliang was very reliable, and Pei Qian should be relieved, but after all, at a critical juncture, Pei Qian still had to supervise more.

No matter how busy you are, you have to get through this month's settlement.

In the car, Pei Qian's phone rang.

Seeing that Li Yada was calling, Pei Qian's heart throbbed instantly.

Could it be that "Back to the Shore" happened again

Don't mess with me!

I'm trying to solve the problem here, don't create bigger problems for me!

Pick up the phone quickly.

"Mr. Pei, do we want to make an English version of "Back to the Shore"?"

"I see that there are many foreigners leaving comments in the comment area. I hope this game will be published in English."

"Moreover, this may also be able to open up overseas markets. Hasn't the official been responding to the call to support domestic games and promote traditional culture..."

Pei Qian was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "This is not in a hurry!"

English version? Doesn't that kill me!

Pei Qian knew very well that "Dark Souls 1" first became popular in the European and American markets, and this kind of suffering game is particularly preferred by European and American players.

If this is also an English version of "Back to the Shore", wouldn't it cost my life

Of course, it doesn't mean that it can't be done at all, the key is that it's all at this juncture, and it's not in these few days to make money!

The settlement will be settled in less than a month now. Pei Qian is running an Internet cafe and a headwind station. He can see that he can make a loss by spending a few dollars on the assault. He will lose hundreds of thousands, and his pockets will be full. At the same time, you can also get special rewards from the system.

In the end, it was the last minute, and an overseas version was launched. Isn't this a trick

Although it will cost money to produce overseas versions and ask for translations, this amount of money is simply not enough to watch.

Translation is a very decent job in Europe and the United States, but in China, translation under simultaneous interpretation, business meeting accompanying translation, etc., is completely cabbage price, three or four hundred thousand words is high, and translation of game texts of 100,000 words is high. It can only cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Is this little money worth spending by President Pei

Even if you hire those famous translators, you will only spend hundreds of thousands of dollars at most. Compared with the income that the English version may generate, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and it is very uneconomical.

If Pei Qian agreed to Li Yada, with his work efficiency, it is estimated that he would find a translator within two days, and several translators would translate different texts in the game, and they would be able to get it done soon.

The settlement will be settled immediately, you can't make such a fool!

So Pei Qian decisively refused.

Even if you want to translate, it will have to be settled this month!

Pei Qian coughed twice: "Too hasty."

"To enter the overseas market, you need the right time and place, and both are indispensable. If you don't have abundant resources and support, it is easy to fall into trouble if you enter the market rashly."

"Of course, it's not that I'm afraid of falling over, it's just that it's related to the long-term layout of our company, and there's no need to rush forward."

"It's better to stabilize the domestic market first, and then consider the multilingual version next month."

"You can look for a suitable translation first. As for when the multilingual version will be produced... We'll talk about it next month."

Li Yada: "Ah, but what about the current foreign players? I feel that they are quite pitiful. Is it possible to let them play while flipping through the dictionary and wait until next month?"

Pei Qian said seriously: "Why not? This is a good opportunity for them to learn Chinese!"

"The players who start the game now are all for players who know a little Chinese. Let them flip through the dictionary, review the knowledge that has gradually been forgotten, and master some new Chinese vocabulary. Isn't it good?"

"As for those players who don't understand Chinese at all... Anyway, they are all waiting. What can they do if they wait another half a month."

"Besides, there are so many ancient poems in our game, how hard is it to translate? If the translation is too hasty, it will become a machine translation level, and foreign friends will laugh at it."

"So this matter can't be rushed, and it has to be considered in the long run. You can first find out if there is any more powerful translator, and then talk about it when you find it."

Li Yada thought about it, and it seemed like the same thing: "Okay, then I'll prepare first."

After hanging up, Pei Qian let out a long breath.

Fortunately, I was witty, and almost had a big problem!

Things in the next cycle will be discussed in the next cycle. Anyway, as long as it is not in time for these two days and the settlement period is over, everything can be said.

Pei Qian calmed down, and after a while, Huanyutian Street arrived.

Pei Qian got out of the car and rushed directly to Moyu Internet Cafe on the third floor.

A few days ago, Pei Qian had been staring at Tengda, so Moyu Internet Cafe had not been here for a while, and he had to take a look today to feel at ease.

However, before entering the door, Pei Qian felt that something was wrong.

It is Sunday afternoon, and as the largest high-end shopping mall in Jingzhou, Huanyutian Street has a lot of traffic.

Originally, there was a lot of traffic, but it had nothing to do with the Moyu Internet Cafe on the third floor. After all, most people came to the mall to go shopping, eat, and watch movies, not to play games.

When Pei Qian inspected the location of this Moyu Internet Cafe, he paid special attention to it. The two clothing brands on the third floor are usually relatively deserted, and the popularity of the cafe is also very general, so he can safely open Moyu Internet Cafe in here.

But this time, something suddenly went wrong!

Pei Qian came up by the straight elevator. There were many people in the elevator. Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that everyone was going to the movies or eating. As a result, when they reached the third floor, all the people in Wuyang and Wuyang got off the elevator. !

Pei Qian, who was the last to get off the elevator, froze, watching the group of people walking towards Moyu Internet Cafe.

Wait a moment!

Stop for me!

What are you doing!

Don't wander around!

Pei Qian hurriedly walked two steps to the door of Moyu Internet Cafe, but when he saw the scene inside, he almost didn't come over and smoke it on the spot.

The attendance rate must be more than 60%. According to this urine, it is estimated that it will soon turn a profit!

This is really hard work... a ghost!

Pei Qian immediately thought of looking for Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan.

people!

The Internet cafes must have something to do with the two goods!

Whoever took the initiative to memorize the pot first, was caught by me and definitely didn't have your good juice to eat!

Pei Qian continued to walk into the Internet cafe, the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

He had experienced this feeling before, in the flagship store of Moyu Internet Cafe.

It's just that although Internet cafes became popular at that time, the business of cafes and bars was mainly popular, and most people came to listen to Chen Lei's singing.

But this store has only Internet cafe business left!

These people are all sitting on the gaming chairs and playing games seriously, and a large part of them are playing "Back to the Shore".

There are actually many couples and brothers who have turned black, making the entire Internet cafe look quite lively and no longer deserted.

Uncomfortable!

Pei Qian came to the rest area of the Internet cafe, and the latest video of Qiao Laoshi was playing on the big screen of the projector.

There are some customers sitting around the long table in the rest area, some are drinking coffee, some are drinking milk tea, while watching Qiao Laoshui's explanation on the big screen, they often show an expression of sudden realization, as if greatly inspired.

Ma Yang was also sitting in the rest area, Zhang Yuan was not there, he didn't know what to do.

"Brother Qian, are you here?"

A smile bloomed on Ma Yang's long face, and he greeted Pei Qian to sit down in the rest area.

"Want to drink coffee? The coffee shop next to us saw that our Internet cafe was getting lively. We held an event with us, and we charged 30% off the drinks! Don't say it, the taste is alright, you can see that everyone has a cup now."

Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

This was a blow to the head, and it was a bit stunned for him.

"Today... why are there so many people?" Pei Qian asked timidly.

Ma Yang was a little dazed: "Ah? No. There are so many people every day these days."

Pei Qian: "..."

Nima!

Your big face is going to piss me off, isn't it

What good does it do you to piss me off

Pei Qian forcibly calmed down his emotions: "So, when did the number of people start to increase?"

Ma Yang was a little puzzled: "Brother Qian, are you still not clear? It was during the time when you were busy with "Back to the Shore"!"

"I never realized that, although the attendance rate of our Internet cafes is not high, we have already accumulated a good reputation in Jingzhou through a series of previous events!"

"Although this store is newly opened, it has always had a high score on the national review."

"There were few people at the beginning, but then there were more and more people. Everyone was tired from shopping, and the cafe was running out of space, so I came to our Internet cafe to sit. Anyway, ten yuan an hour is a good deal in this mall. of."

"And guess what, Brother Qian, just a few days ago, the large roller skating rink in the mall was officially opened after renovation!"

"Many fathers bring their children to roller skating. The children spend more than an hour in class, and the father just happened to come to our Internet cafe to play."

"There are also things like doing hair and manicures with girlfriends, which take several hours at once, and some come to our Internet cafe to pass the time."

"In addition to this, there is a word-of-mouth effect. It seems that Qiao Laoshi also recommended it to our Internet cafe on the Internet, and Wang Peng, the national commentary, also recommended it to our Internet cafe."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the game "Going Back to the Shore" has become popular, even with Internet cafes!"

"There are many players who run here every day in order to get the best gaming experience by playing "Back to the Shore"."

"Brother Qian, you have been busy in Tengda before, right?"

Pei Qian was silent.

What, it became my pot again

Do you think "Back to the Shore" is what I want it to be like now!

Ma Yang was a little regretful: "Unfortunately, even though there has been a lot of progress compared to the past, there is still a little distance from the real money."

"Brother Qian, aren't you also dissatisfied with the current situation and feel that it should be more popular, right?"

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, I'm really not satisfied, but it's all because of other reasons!

He thought of a more important matter and hurriedly asked, "How about the other new stores?"

Ma Yang said happily: "The site selection has been finalized, just a simple decoration, and it will open next week!"

Pei Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "No hurry! The opening time is set for next Sunday, which is the 24th. There is no need to hurry, understand?"

Originally, Pei Qian thought that it didn't matter when these Internet cafes opened, but now that he saw the urination of the store in Huanyutian Street, he realized that there was a big problem!

If other stores open too early, more customers will bring a heavier burden to Pei Qian!

Therefore, if you stick to the time point one week before the settlement, and open a week later, you can naturally make less money, and don’t put so much pressure on yourself.

Ma Yang was taken aback: "But, we have already paid the rent, why do we have to delay it for another week..."

Pei Qian pretended to be deep and said, "This is to wait for a better time, no need to ask more."
