Zhang Li was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Pei, the cost of 400 yuan is unnecessary, and it is difficult to add this cost..."
Pei Qian frowned: "Can't add it? How could it not be added?"
"Make the box bigger, find a well-known artist to design the shape, give it a gold edge, and then polish the texture of the material..."
"Isn't it willing to spend money when making a shared phone booth? Why are you going back more and more?"
Zhang Li was very ashamed to be criticized by President Pei: "Okay, President Pei, then I will do as you said."
He Desheng's expression became very exciting.
He originally thought that President Pei would not be optimistic about this project, but President Pei not only quadrupled the amount of money he had to invest, but also raised the price of this thing from 260 to 488!
No matter from any point of view, this thing is not worth that much money at all!
He Desheng felt that this thing was at best a gadget when he was bored. If it was sold for 40 to 50 yuan, maybe someone would buy it and play it at home.
But selling 488…
Who will buy it
Although the shape of this thing is unique, it can't be said to be particularly beautiful, nor is it interesting. Except for people with strange ideas like President Ma, no one should be idle and have nothing to do with it for a few hours, right
Even if there are some boring rich people in this world, it is impossible to sell 20,000 units!
If it can't be sold after mass production, and it's all backlogged in the warehouse, isn't this a pure loss
He Desheng originally wanted to say something, but then he thought again, since President Pei has spoken, there must be a way.
So, don't talk too much, just watch and study hard.
Pei Qian patted Zhang Wang's shoulder, the admiration on his face beyond words.
awesome!
It seems that the previous shared phone booth was just a misunderstanding. This great inventor, Zhang Zhang, is still very trustworthy!
If there are ten more inventions that can't be sold like this, President Pei can easily lose 80 million yuan, and it also takes up space in the warehouse, which is so comfortable!

Friday, May 13.
Tenda Gaming Division.
Hu Xianbin raised his head to finish the coffee in the cup and continued to work hard.
Now Tenda's game department is divided into two teams. Hu Xianbin led a group of people to develop "Struggle", while Min Jingchao led another group of people to run gog and compete with ioi.
There is a clear difference between the styles of the two sides.
On Min Jingchao's side, all kinds of heroes were discussed vigorously every day, and the atmosphere was very lively; on Hu Xianbin's side, the whole team was dull.
The main reason is that the research and development of "Struggle" itself is already very difficult. During the research and development process, I still feel that all kinds of scars have been exposed, and my soul has been seriously hurt. This atmosphere cannot be active.
Hu Xianbin's game script is still being perfected and has not yet been finalized, but the original paintings of all game characters have basically been completed.
I have to say, Mr. Ruan's efficiency is fast.
Hu Xianbin saved the document and opened the atlas that Ruan Guangjian sent a few minutes ago.
It's just that after looking at them one by one, the more they look, the more confused they become.
The characters in these games include the protagonist of the poor, the protagonist of the rich, the parents of the poor, the parents of the rich, the boss of the poor, the boss of the rich, etc., a lot.
Because the actor was selected first and then the original painting was drawn, according to the original plan, it should be a little beautification and modification based on the actor's appearance.
However, the batch of original paintings now handed over to Hu Xianbin has a feeling of being overworked.
All of these figures are expressed in more exaggerated and extreme ways, and some characters are even drawn very strangely.
For example, the poor family is all overweight, especially the mother of the poor family, who is almost 300 pounds.
The motion capture actors are obviously not so fat, and some special methods may be needed to simulate this overweight state when motion capture is performed.
In addition, the rich protagonist is a bit too handsome, exactly like the super stars in Europe and the United States, the whole person is bright and beautiful.
The protagonist of the poor man is not only mediocre in appearance, but also obviously flattering in his demeanor, and seems to be hiding a trace of resentment.
These two expressions are forcibly mixed on the face of the poor protagonist, which is so clear that people will instinctively feel a sense of discomfort.
In other words, Ruan Guangjian almost clearly wrote the deep qualities of these characters on his face.
After receiving this batch of original paintings, Hu Xianbin's first feeling was that something was wrong.
He was a little puzzled, how could Big Brother Ruan Guangjian make such a low-level mistake
As a result, Ruan Guangjian said that this was all requested by President Pei.
So Hu Xianbin immediately began to wonder if there was any deep meaning in it.
"The disadvantage should be that it reduces the realism of the game."
"What are the advantages... More exotic styles and characters will highlight the character's characteristics and deepen the player's impression?"
"Can a facialized image play a symbolic role and make it easier to highlight the theme?"
"Is there anything else... I can't seem to think of it."
Hu Xianbin tried his best to decipher it, and although he also deciphered something, he didn't think it was particularly convincing.
Considering that the development task of "Struggle" is very heavy, and there is not so much time for too in-depth interpretation, Hu Xianbin had to give up for the time being.
Anyway, when the game is released, everything will be revealed.
All the original drawings are checked, ready to be handed over to outsource to make models, and the motion capture actors can also be arranged to start the motion capture performance.
After simply smoothing out his next work, Hu Xianbin once again focused all his energy on the game's script.
In the process of writing the script, Hu Xianbin encountered a very serious problem, which has plagued him for two days.
It's amazing to say that he actually encountered a numerical problem in this game.
It stands to reason that this game has no numerical problems, but it just happened so magically.
Everything went well with the rich version, the problem was with the poor version.
According to President Pei's request, the poor version has only one ending, which is to let the cycle of poverty continue forever.
Originally, Hu Xianbin didn't think there was any problem, which was very logical, but the problem was that the rich and poor protagonists had to be accounted for in the game.
How much money the poor have in their hands, how much money they need to maintain their basic living, and how much wages they can earn after working, all these must have a rough figure, otherwise there will definitely be players picking on them.
If a joint node, the plot arranges that the poor have not enough money, so it finally leads to the end of the vicious circle, then you have to find a way to ensure that the poor players do not have enough money.
But Hu Xianbin did a lot of calculations. In theory, the poor protagonist has more money than expected, and it shouldn't end up in such a tragic end in the end.
In the poor route, players also have to make a lot of choices, some with high income and some with low income, but even if they completely choose the option with high income, it is still the ending of the cycle of poverty.
But from the data point of view, after all the correct choices are selected, the poor should be much richer and happier than their parents.
The ending cannot be changed, because President Pei has already decided.
So there is a contradiction: if you do this, the rationality of the game will be lost.
As a game that focuses on plot, if the rationality of the game collapses, it will be over, and word-of-mouth sales will collapse.
Therefore, Hu Xianbin felt like he was facing a big enemy and felt that he had to solve this problem in order to be steadfast.
After thinking about it for a while, I still have no idea.
Hu Xianbin opened the character's original painting again, flipping through it aimlessly, wondering if he could find some inspiration from it.
The protagonist of the rich man is in a bright suit and leather shoes. At first glance, he looks like an upper-class person with a carefree life. The special golden logo on the wrist of the suit is very eye-catching, which is obviously a luxury brand.
Two pure gold uppercase Ls are stitched together in a centrally symmetrical manner, and at the same time they are artistically exaggerated, which looks very rich in design.
Hu Xianbin didn't care, he continued to flip and turned to the original painting of the poor man after he went to work.
After going to work, the poor man holds a black briefcase between his arms. If you look closely, you will find that the logo is vaguely exposed on the briefcase, which is also two pure gold capital letters.
Hu Xianbin seemed to have caught something, turned forward again, and saw the shoes that the poor were wearing when they went to college.
The shoe also has this logo on it.
Hu Xianbin continued to look back and found that almost 60-70% of the original paintings had this logo on their clothing.
All rich people have it, but only those with better economic conditions among the poor have this logo.
This is very reasonable, after all, such a luxury brand cannot be afforded by the poor with low income.
Hu Xianbin can roughly guess what Ruan Guangjian thought when he was creating.
These motion capture actors are wearing everyday clothes when taking pictures. The clothes on the original painting were redesigned by Mr. Ruan according to the wealth class of these characters.
In order to highlight the characters of the rich, it is obvious that some luxury brands need to be used.
Therefore, Ruan Guangjian created a fictional brand based on existing luxury goods as a decoration for the characters in these original paintings.
As for why there is only one brand... Obviously because it doesn't make sense to draw one more brand.
Players have limited memory when playing games. If there are two brands, players may not be able to remember them, and they will be confused.
Therefore, based on the principle of simplicity and practicality, it is enough to have only one brand of clothes in the game: the brand marked with two golden L letter logos is a luxury brand, while the other brands without logos are cheap miscellaneous brands.
This is a very normal and natural design. When Ruan Guangjian was painting, he probably didn't think about it that much.
But looking at these pictures, Hu Xianbin suddenly caught a glimpse of inspiration.
His original intention was to find justification for the poor to spend all their money.
According to Hu Xianbin's previous calculations, if you only buy necessities and cheap goods, and make most of the choices in the game, the wages of the poor will definitely be able to accumulate and improve their lives.
But in order to achieve the ending of the poverty cycle set by President Pei, the poor must be forced to spend this money.
Now, there is plausibility.
It is these luxury bags, shoes, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and so on.
After buying these things, the salary is naturally not enough!
Hu Xianbin let out a sigh of relief and finally patched the loopholes in the game.
There shouldn't be any players picking on them now, right
Hu Xianbin added in the expenses of these luxury goods, and found that the wealth of the poor who had been estimated was not enough immediately, not only was there not a cent left, but it was also enough to carry debts.
"Okay, perfect solution!" Hu Xianbin clapped his hands excitedly.
Although this approach seems a bit sloppy, the rationality of the game is successfully resolved.
He didn't think much about it, after all, this is not the core content of the game, it is just a detail that shows the lives of the poor and the rich.
Players probably won't even notice this.
