Chapter 295: Chapter 193: The Studio’s Profit Model (2)
"By that ti, I think PC gas should be able to return to their peak!"
"That’s mobile gas..."
"Whatever! It could be PC gas or mobile gas!"
Huang Qing waved his hand, "If 3A gas make their way into mobile on a large scale, would there be any need to distinguish between PC and mobile gas? By that ti, PC gas are mobile gas, and mobile gas are PC gas!"
"Is this the reason why you’re optimistic about the PC gas market and interested in Tianba Studio?" Chen Ba asked curiously.
"Yes!"
Huang Qing felt that as the performance of mobile devices gradually improved, players’ tastes and preferences would also gradually change.
For example, the rise of complex mobile gas like King of Glory and PUBG Mobile has directly cost a series of mindless and crude mobile gas their market.
So in the future, as performance steadily improves, mobile gas will beco larger and even reach the 3A threshold, giving a powerhouse in the dostic single-player field like Tianba Studio a chance to shine.
"Welco aboard!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ba no longer wanted to ask any questions and decisively extended his hand to welco Huang Qing to join Tianba Studio.
There’s no need to talk about the compensation.
A fixed annual salary
performance bonus
studio dividend shares, this is all standard procedure.
The only possible point of contention was a demand Chen Ba made to Huang Qing, which almost made him doubt if he heard wrong.
"You’re not mistaken."
Chen Ba reiterated, "I don’t want you to deliberately squeeze or induce players to spend more for the sake of higher performance dividends."
"On the contrary, if the studio is guaranteed to be profitable and the money made is sufficient, players should be given so benefits in return."
"Frankly speaking, that’s not the mindset of a businessman!"
"I never said I was a businessman."
Chen Ba proudly said, "I’ve always considered myself a pure gar. I make gas to make people happy, not to add pressure and anxiety."
"So, what do you think? Can you accept this view? If not, I suggest you don’t co to Tianba Studio!"
"Why wouldn’t I accept it?"
Huang Qing smiled, "President Chen, don’t take
for a fool! Since I investigated Tianba Studio, I obviously know your profit model."
Soone else might’ve been scared away by Chen Ba’s words.
After all, as a CEO, the goal is the performance bonus and annual salary, with the bonus being more significant.
Not squeezing regular players and even giving them benefits? Wouldn’t that an no performance dividends for ?
But Huang Qing isn’t an ordinary person.
He investigated Tianba Studio and inquired about their profit model through various channels, naturally knowing that Chen Ba was bluffing.
Treat regular players well?
Exactly!
Tianba Studio indeed treats players well, almost at a state of carelessness. For in-ga purchases, it’s up to players if they want to spend.
However, Tianba Studio has beco one of the most profitable companies in the dostic gaming industry, only trailing behind giants like Pig Goose. Is the money falling from the sky?
Of course not!
In Huang Qing’s view, Tianba Studio chose a clever profit model, abandoning regular players to earn corporate money instead.
In gas like Star Emperor, Divine Grace Continent, Love Advisor Departnt, Speeding Frenzy, and Don’t Go Ho: Marbles Storm, what did the players pay?
Aside from buying gas, not a penny more!
So of these gas have even been transitioned to free gas, aning players don’t even need to pay to buy them.
Yet these gas are among the most profitable in the dostic gaming scene.
Especially Divine Grace Continent, which provides Tianba Studio with a stable cash flow of tens of millions each month, raking in the money.
Star Emperor earns money from graphics card manufacturers, Speeding Frenzy from car companies, Marble Storm from advertisers...
The only one with relatively weaker earning ability, Love Advisor Departnt, still secretly snatches a significant amount of inco from matchmakers and dating agencies.
Not profitable? What a joke!
As one player in the Tianba Community comnted, Ba doesn’t care about the trivial amounts regular players have; he only takes money from wealthy businesses.
Huang Qing understood this.
So, he knew that Chen Ba was bluffing; while Tianba Studio treats players well, it doesn’t an they can’t have performance bonuses.
If they don’t earn from players, they’ll find other channels for inco! On the corporate side, Tianba Studio is known as a "whale-baiting" ga company.
"You know this much?"
Chen Ba laughed, not expecting Huang Qing to be so well-versed in Tianba Studio, even understanding their profit model and business situation thoroughly.
Then there’s nothing to worry about!
With a CEO who understands the industry and the studio’s situation, he can delegate so responsibilities with peace of mind.
But on that note...
Huang Qing’s age makes him stand out a bit in the Tianba Studio, where the average age is over 28, leaving everyone unsure of how to address him.
Calling him President Huang seems too formal.
The studio’s just a handful of people, all acquaintances, calling soone by their title feels distant and unapproachable.
Calling him Brother Huang?
At his age, it’s okay for Yang Dong and others to call him that, but Lu could even call him Uncle.
"Call
whatever you like."
Just brought to the studio by Chen Ba, Huang Qing, lacking the expected stiffness of a middle-aged man, humorously told everyone, "If you call
brother, doesn’t that make
seem younger!"
"Alright, alright, we’ll call you Qing Brother from now on!"
Lu, being the most outgoing, seeing this new CEO without any airs, imdiately pinched his throat and called out Qing Brother, nauseating Chen Ba.
"Can you not be so disgusting?"
Chen Ba said disdainfully, "Be proper, just call him Brother Huang, and if we have guests or are outside, refer to him as President Huang."
"Okay, Brother Ba!"
"..."
Fists clenched, what should I do if I feel like punching soone?
Called by such an intimate nickna for the first ti, if it were a sweet girl, Chen Ba would probably be delighted.
But unfortunately, it’s Lu, who with his pinched voice calling Ba Brother, Dong Brother, Qing Brother is rather nauseating, making one want to kick him.
Huang Qing’s first day at work was today.
The office isn’t ready yet. After all, they didn’t expect the recruitnt to go so smoothly, so the office hasn’t been renovated.
Huang Qing didn’t mind.
No office? Then squeeze in with everyone; as long as there’s a computer and a desk for work, it’s fine.
In his words, the conditions at Tianba Studio are limited; it’s most suitable for Ba to have an independent office, and the rest can just make do.
"Well said."
Seeing him quickly getting into the work mode, Chen Ba was pleased and assigned him his first task:
Promote the Tianba Engine!
As ntioned earlier, after the release of Global Evolution, Tianba Studio will consider developing the Tianba Engine platform for use by ga developers.
Now, the ti is ripe.
Under Chen Ba’s guidance, the Tianba Engine 1.0 version is officially launched, featuring certain AI ga developnt capabilities and AI image editing capabilities.
Everyone can use this engine to create "astonishing" gas.
If it’s for comrcial use and the ga is prepared to be published on a platform for sale, a licensing fee needs to be paid.
No choice, industry standard.
After all, the Tianba Engine belongs to Tianba Studio, and profit-making using it necessitates paying Ba a protection fee.
Of course!
To expand popularity and attract more developers to use the engine, the early phases of the Tianba Engine 1.0 will certainly offer discounts, and if the ga is willing to be published on the Nobug Platform, it may even be licensed for free.
"Is there a possibility of losing money?"
Lu whimsically asked, "Like using our engine to make a ga and encountering unknown bugs?"
Chen Ba’s face darkened, and he looked at Lu with extre displeasure.
This guy cannot be kept!
The Tianba Engine is so perfect; how could such a thing happen?
