Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 353 : Have the Potential to be a Shady Businessman

Chapter 353: Have the Potential to be a Shady Businessman

The exam results before the sumr vacation ca out quickly.

So were delighted, and so were worried.

Chen Fan passed without failing any courses.

His scores were either sixty or sixty-one, barely scraping by.

After seeing Chen Fan's results, Luo Wenjie shouted that it was unfair. He said Old Chen must have secretly made an unspeakable deal with those few professors.

It's not surprising that Brother Jie was jumping up and down. Last sester, he set a new record again, failing four courses in a row and having to retake them.

However, Brother Jie had already beco numb to it and didn't care at all.

But Wu Di unexpectedly failed one course this ti, which made him a bit depressed.

Chen Fan didn't care about the results at all. As far as he was concerned, as long as he obtained that graduation certificate from the university, he could give his parents an explanation.

Chen Fan spent most of his university days accompanying Su Ruochu, fulfilling a dream from his previous life.

Now, he devoted most of his efforts to the construction and renovation of the club.

During these past few days, he had a al with Pang Longhai, reconnecting their relationship, after all, the latter had helped him out a few days ago.

At the dinner, Pang Longhai boasted to Chen Fan, saying that from then on, if there were any troubles, as long as he was still in the developnt zone, he would definitely help.

As long as he could cover for it, no one with bad intentions would dare cause trouble at Chen Fan's club.

Chen Fan smiled and gave a toast, then filled his cup and drank it all in one gulp in front of Pang Longhai.

Everything was left unsaid between them.

He also found ti to visit Feifan Technology.

Liang Shichu had allocated a eting room at the end of the company's corridor and reorganized it as the office space for the Starry Sky Ga Studio.

On this day, Chen Fan ca to the studio for a eting.

At the eting, Liang Shichu brought a few ga developers to give Chen Fan a demonstration of a small sample of their ga production.

After watching the ga demo, Chen Fan put down his pen, cleared his throat, and began to speak.

"First of all, I want to comnd everyone for their hard work during this period."

"The ga is progressing quickly, and everyone has done a good job. The ga demo I just watched was not bad. But..."

"I have a 'but' to say." Chen Fan smiled at the people in front of him.

"But I think there are still so issues. Let briefly explain them to you."

"First, the ga graphics are too exquisite. Both the character modeling and the environnt are too exquisite."

The few developers present looked puzzled.

Finally, Liang Shichu spoke up, "What's wrong with having exquisite ga graphics?"

Chen Fan smiled, "There's nothing wrong with having exquisite ga graphics. However, the ga I want you to make is not ant to be a AAA blockbuster, but rather a simple, mindless, and purely relaxing small ga."

"Therefore, I hope the ga you make will only need to have the following few features. That is, it has a small enough mory footprint, and the gaplay is simple and mindless enough."

"As for character modeling and environntal rendering in the ga, those can be ignored."

"You can even make them even simpler."

Chen Fan walked over to the opposite side of the PPT as he spoke.

"For example, here, the main character doesn't need to move. You only need to create a paper figure, or even just a pair of hands, mindlessly shooting at the enemy soldiers. The focus is to give players a first-person experience..."

Chen Fan listed several requirents one after another. Finally, he summarized, "Of course, my requirent is only one thing, which is that the mory footprint should be small enough, the smaller the better."

The few developers left the eting room looking puzzled, and soone even shook their head in silence, completely speechless.

They were probably cursing in their hearts, thinking the boss didn't understand gas at all, yet he was pointing fingers and drawing circles here.

It seed like the ga they would make would flop as well.

When only Liang Shichu was left in the eting room, Chen Fan walked back and sat down.

"Old Liang, following my requirents, how long do you think it would take to produce the ga?"

Liang Shichu smiled bitterly, "If we really follow your requirents and don't care about environntal graphics or character modeling, it would be much simpler."

"I estimate it would take about one to two months."

In fact, one to two months was still a conservative estimate from Liang Shichu.

According to his own thoughts, if they really made the ga following Chen Fan's requirents, would the end result even be a ga?

Could such a ga be played?

Liang Shichu held a pessimistic attitude.

However, since the boss was always very enthusiastic about this matter, he had no choice.

Chen Fan smiled and began to speak, "I suddenly thought of a new thod. It might be able to reduce piracy and bootlegs. It might even help promote our company's other products."

Liang Shichu inwardly smiled bitterly, thinking, "For such a simple, no, the simplest ga, is piracy really necessary?"

Chen Fan briefly organized his thoughts and said to Liang Shichu, "I plan to turn the ga into a web ga."

"A web ga?"

Liang Shichu was puzzled and didn't imdiately understand.

"Yes, a web-based ga."

"Have the developers modify the ga settings, and then we can directly host the ga on Go Navigation Ho for players to download."

"Players only need to click a button to download it, and it will generate a new webpage. With just one cache, they can log into the Go Navigation Ho account and play the ga."

Liang Shichu was sowhat surprised to hear this.

"This... from a technical standpoint, it's not difficult. But... what are the benefits of doing this? If soone wants to pirate it... they might still be able to do it, right?"

Chen Fan smiled, "That's precisely why players need to log into their Go Navigation Ho or Feifan Antivirus account to play."

"This will increase the difficulty for anyone who wants to pirate the ga."

"Additionally, I have another thod that can greatly prevent piracy."

Chen Fan looked at Liang Shichu with a slight smile.

"I've decided that when the ga is launched, players can play it for free."

Liang Shichu was puzzled again.

"Play for free?"

"This... why would it be free? Don't you plan to make money from this ga?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, "Making the ga free is the fastest way to attract more players."

"We won't make money from ga sales but from selling in-ga items."

Liang Shichu's eyes widened.

"Sell items? Then... would that still be considered a single-player ga?"

Chen Fan smiled, "It's sowhere in between."

"It's more like a single-player version of a web ga."

"Since Go Navigation Ho doesn't have a paynt system, you'll need to have your employees develop a separate ga section on the Feifan Antivirus official website. Players can then pay on the official website to purchase items, and the company will issue them redemption codes."

"Players can then use those redemption codes in the ga to redeem the items they need."

Liang Shichu was no fool. After Chen Fan's explanation, he suddenly understood.

"You... You want to use this ga to drive downloads for Feifan Antivirus and Go Navigation Ho?"

Chen Fan nodded, "That's one of the goals, but the actual results will depend on whether the ga your team develops can attract people."

Liang Shichu opened his notebook and began recording the requirents Chen Fan had just ntioned.

After finishing, Liang Shichu looked up at Chen Fan again.

"You ntioned making money by selling items earlier. What kind of items did you an, Boss?"

"Guns, grenades, knives... even clothing."

Chen Fan smiled, "Let everyone use their imagination. The more players recharge, the better and more accurate guns we'll reward them with... they'll love that."

"Of course, we'll also need to put thought into the design of the enemy soldiers. We need to make them challenging enough but still allow players to kill them enjoyably and endlessly..."

"For each level, we'll slightly increase the difficulty at certain points. When players can't get past it, they'll want to purchase better guns..."

Liang Shichu listened with his mouth agape.

"This... I have to say, this tactic is really... too... too despicable."

"Boss, we're going to get cursed at."

Chen Fan smiled.

"As long as the players have fun, what does it matter if we suffer a little criticism?"

Seeing the boss's smiling expression, Liang Shichu thought to himself, "The boss is indeed worthy of being called Old Boss Li. He truly has the potential to be a shady businessman."

However, Chen Fan found it amusing in his heart.

This was nothing compared to the tactics used by the big gaming companies in the future to make money from gas.

He had already been quite gentle.
