Chapter 8 Everything is ready, only money is owed
After dinner in the cafeteria, everyone returned to the entrepreneurial incubation base again.
At this moment, everyone's mood was completely different from that in the morning.
If everyone was just trying it out in the morning, then at this moment, Lu Chen saw the passion in everyone's eyes.
He was not surprised by the situation in front of him at all.
Such an excellent game appears in the hands of a startup, and everyone is the first group of employees of the startup. Anyone would be excited if it were.
In fact, everyone has more or less the idea of entrepreneurship, but due to the cruelty of reality, countless people are discouraged.
Entrepreneurship incubation base.
In a dirty office of less than one hundred square meters.
Lu Chen looked around and said, "Everyone has watched the game. If you have any ideas, please mention it."
Everyone looked at each other.
He Chong's face was flushed with excitement and said first: "I am willing to stay."
"I do, too."
"Me too."
Liang Zhixin and Meng Xiaowan quickly echoed.
I originally thought that senior Lu Chen, like the others in the entrepreneurial incubation park, relied on PTT to draw cakes, but who would have thought that he was holding such an excellent game masterpiece in his hand.
"Okay, since everyone is willing to stay, I will assign a task first. We will clean up the place this afternoon."
Lu Chen pointed to the dirty office, "We shouldn't work in such an environment, right?"
"Ha ha."
The three of them grinned happily, and Zhang Mingbo also smiled slightly from the side.
......
After cleaning for an afternoon, the dirty office was finally cleaned up by everyone.
Thanks to the school’s support for the entrepreneurship incubation park, the office desks and chairs here are all available, which saves Lu Chen a fund.
However, office equipment such as computers and printers are gone here, and Lu Chen must buy it himself.
But he had no money at the moment, so before leaving, Lu Chen told everyone to bring their own computers to work tomorrow.
He didn't know if he was the only one among the bosses in the country when he asked his employees to bring their own computers to work. Anyway, he felt that everyone was very happy.
Dragging his tired body back to the dormitory, Lu Chen lay straight on the bed, motionless without any intention.
In the dormitory.
Zhang Mingbo was lying on the bed in the same posture as his.
Lu Chen turned his head and said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner someday."
"Lu Chen, I found that you are quite good at lying to others."
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Chen's heart was shocked.
Zhang Mingbo looked at the ceiling and said to himself: "Although I am not a game practitioner, I also know that a large game is expensive to develop. Did you tell me before that you are penniless?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen felt a little relieved, but smiled bitterly: "I really didn't lie to you. I'm really penniless now. I've invested all my money in this game."
Zhang Mingbo nodded slightly: "I have lived with you for so long, but I didn't expect you to be a rich second generation."
Lu Chen smiled, no explanation.
This kind of thing doesn't make sense at all. Except for him being a rich second generation, there will be no second explanation.
As for this game he developed by himself?
This may be okay to scare the layman, but Zhang Mingbo himself is a professional in software engineering and is considered half an insider in the industry.
The development of a game is not just about typing code, including animation design, character model, scene design, sound effects, theme songs, etc.
All of these mean funding.
As for the game effect Zhang Mingbo saw today, this game is not as simple as fun in his eyes. It can be said that every frame of it means a lot of money is burning.
Games developed by one person alone are not non-existent, but they are all extremely simple mini-games, and the pictures are at most Super Mary.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be a masterpiece like this that Lu Chen showed.
Even if Lu Chen is a once-in-a-thousand-year genius, he knows everything, and he can't understand everything, such as algorithms, architecture, animation design, music, etc.
To put it simply, this game doesn't count as anything else, the source code alone has at least one million lines.
What is the concept of so much code?
Lu Chen even rolled the keyboard with his face, but he couldn't get out even after a year of continuous rolling.
So there is only one possibility. This game was made by Lu Chen for a large team.
Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Zhang Mingbo felt that he was sure to guess.
Regarding Zhang Mingbo's misunderstanding, Lu Chen was wrong. He turned over and sat up and said, "I'm pointing all at this game now."
"understand."
Zhang Mingbo nodded.
In his eyes, this game consumes at least tens of millions, or even over 100 million.
He spent so much money, I believe Lu Chen is a rich second generation and his family can't let him do this.
"So I have to ask you for a favor."
Zhang Mingbo looked at him speechlessly. After a while, he took out his cell phone and said, "You wait a moment, I'll call first."
"OK."
Lu Chen waved his hand.
After a while, the phone went on.
"Hey, Brother Li... Well, I want to tell you something... Sorry, Brother Li, okay, I'll die first."
After listening to Zhang Mingbo's phone call, Lu Chen said in surprise: "Did you reject DJI?"
"Well, I decided to do it with you!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled: "Sorry, our company is full of people now, so I don't have anyone for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingbo was stunned at first, then jumped off the bed, reached out to pinch Lu Chen's neck, and shouted: "I'll strangle you, a unfaithful man!"
After a while, the two continued to sit together to discuss things.
To be honest, Lu Chen did not expect that Zhang Mingbo could join his team.
How good is Zhang Mingbo’s technical strength? He is very clear. One word is strong!
"By the way, you just said you have something to do to ask me for help?"
"Well," Lu Chen nodded, "Our company is now penniless, basically nothing except this game, so what needs to be solved urgently is the funding problem..."
The company has no money, which is a dilemma that almost all companies will encounter.
When startups encounter this problem, they usually only need to find capital dads, which is the legendary angel investment.
Angel Investment sounds good, but it is actually a thing that can drink blood and eat marrow.
If Lu Chen just cut his losses, he would endure it. The key is that in the process of continuous capital injection, capital will make excessive demands to the founder, so that the end is too big, and finally there will be a tragic story of the founder being kicked out by capital.
Although Lu Chen is short of money, he does not want to be bound by capital.
Therefore, he can only take the path of bank loans for the time being.
