this man is not calm

Chapter 99 The Huge Gap Between Hobbies and Professional Skills
It is foreseeable that after this meeting, Jinxi Culture will expand again and its operating costs will also increase.

"Although the regular meeting at the beginning of this month is to discuss how to spend money, but this way of spending, my boss is also very distressed..."

Jin Shang said a bad joke, and then he heard some good news. After testing the game battle platform for a period of time, it finally reached the stage of public operation. Currently, it is performing well in online use in five Internet cafes. Stability still needs to be improved, later maintenance and upgrade iterations, and docking with the Jinxi instant messaging tool that is under intense development.

"The development team has really worked hard during this period. The game platform project has been delivered smoothly, and the promised bonus will definitely not be less. Please stick to it for another two months. If the Mid-Autumn Festival is on September [-], if 'Jinxi' can be launched in time, the node fee will be [-]." There are a lot of points. The two team leaders have worked hard during this period, and I hope that the beginning and the end will not be in vain."

The technical development of the large-scale stand-alone game "Three Kingdoms" is nearing completion. Regarding the compilation of the supporting novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", through the introduction of Vice President Gong Lin, I got in touch with a professor of ancient literature at Beijing Normal University and entrusted him with several A student took the pen and wrote a first edition, which is currently being arranged for editorial review, and will be handed over to Jin Shang for confirmation when it is almost done.

Originally, Jin Shang thought about signing the company name, but after being reminded by someone, he still put the name of the original work such as the main creator and the main writer, and he was regarded as the first author.

In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. I provided dozens of pages of plot outlines, but I just paid someone to expand, perfect and polish them.

Since I contributed the most, why should I give up my name to others?
Of course, the matter is coming to an end, so it can't just be posted like this.

Games related to the Three Kingdoms, as well as supporting novels, need to be submitted to the relevant cultural and publishing departments for review.

Publishing a book needs to apply for a book number. The management of video games is relatively primitive, and there is no version number limit. However, the sale of game discs is mostly classified as audio-visual products. The rating of the "Recommended Standards for Green Games for Teenagers" is basically a measure of an age-appropriate rating and degree of addiction.

If not, of course it can be sold, but there is no official stamp and certification, let alone whether teenagers will buy it, parents will definitely not buy this kind of video game that has no heel for their children.

In addition, Jin Shang also has his own selfishness. The Three Kingdoms-themed books and supporting video games can be regarded as a pioneer in the cultural field. It would be great if he could get an official recommendation.

"Uncle Zheng, are you familiar with the people from the Ministry of Culture?"

"For this kind of thing, let the Beijing Women's Federation help, they should be very happy..."

"Oh?"

Zheng Liangzhi explained slowly:
"Our higher-level management department mainly serves women's workplace, family harmony and children's education. We hold health lectures and do some celebration activities during the New Year and holidays. It is the limit for all the units under our command to publish articles. There are not many tricks! Last time I chatted with the two officers of the Women's and Children's Rights Section and the Publicity Section. When I talked about Jinxi Culture, I was also very optimistic. Because of our series of actions, their half-year summary is much easier to write. In the past, I always submitted the past reports to the errand after changing them. Every time the evaluation node was reached, I was always trembling, fearing that the work results would not meet the standards, and the subsidies and foundation funding would be reduced..."

"Insufficient viable support units?"

"This business is easy to do, but it is more difficult to make a bright spot. Not only our country, this nation, but also the whole world have their own difficulties."

"So we're doing pretty well?"

"Pretty good!"

Zheng Liangzhi smiled and responded,
"At least Jinxi Culture has really done a lot of practical things related to women and children. Among other things, the football team will go to nearby orphanages and schools for migrant workers' children every month to do activities, condolences to left-behind children, and do cleaning volunteers. Persisting for so many years is already very good. Let’s say that the "Three Kingdoms" game and supporting novels, at a small scale, enrich the spiritual life of young people, and at a large scale, they promote excellent traditional humanistic spirit, cultural self-confidence, and cultural identity , cultivating sentiment, can be involved in the relationship."

Indeed, going to the arcade to play games to fight monsters, fist-to-flesh fighting, mahjong with less and less clothes, etc., are all playthings, Shangzhi, and the three common cultures that need to be criticized. "Three Kingdoms" is different, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. Stories and images are already an inseparable part of cultural genes.

Reasonably, there is no possibility of rejection.

Of course, if Jin Shang himself does it in the name of a commercial company, it will definitely be difficult. He may not even be able to find a way, so it is better to let someone who understands do it. "Public to public" is much easier to talk about.

"Then... let's do it like this. When the novel and game are finalized, I'll send them over!"

With the old man Zheng Liangzhi in charge, it can indeed bring many key hints to Jin Shang.

When you are not strong enough, you must know how to take advantage of the situation, make full use of the favorable conditions around you, and maximize the steps to achieve your goals.

"Although there are many departments in charge of us, you can't just regard them as obstacles and restraints that need to be in charge of this and that. When something really happens, they can also play a role in sheltering from the wind and rain."

"I have experience!"

Jin Shang understood.

Last time, Hao Qilian reminded himself that some things really cannot be done unscrupulously as planned.

After finalizing the matter, Jin Shang asked about the repairs of the stadium. By the way, he told everyone to speed up the preparations for the concert, and then let everyone disperse.

At the end of the regular meeting, Jin Shang left Yan Xiaohong, the representative of the football team, to ask some questions.

"What's going on with this amateur player named Ajima?"

"It was introduced by the captain Basang Tsering. After the trial training, I found that it was not bad."

"Brother Xiaohong, you are not an outsider, so I won't go around in circles with you. You are also aware of the huge gap between an amateur player who has become a monk halfway and a professional player. I haven't seen this person's level, so I can't comment. I just want to ask In a word, is the face of the captain Basang Tsering worth the risk?"

This summer, the football team signed four players with a transfer fee of 68 yuan, ranking third among all Jiayin teams. The other two in front of them found sponsors, which were even more arrogant.

Ambitious teams at all levels have increased their investment. Players' worth and salary levels have also risen steadily. Every time an additional player is signed, the expenditure will increase by a large amount.

This ethnic minority player named Aijima used to play wild football and had no professional youth training. He didn't get a chance to play in the seventh level Yiyin until he was 19 years old. It is said that he is very popular in the regional league.

"Ah Shang, you have to trust my vision. This person is really good. He didn't just give him the opportunity for Basang Tsering's sake."

"Do you remember what happened five years ago?"

"The memory is still fresh!"

"Then you still..."

Jin Shang really didn't know what to say, if someone else competed with him, Jin Shang would have told him to leave long ago.

"We can't play football. Judging by people's vision and training level, we still pass the test. This time, you believe me."

Yan Xiaohong insisted on speaking.

Five years ago, the club organized an amateur cup in the region. At that time, the Beijing Northern United football team was a young semi-professional team that was about to be promoted to the fifth level.

Because the prize money given was considerable, it attracted many local football schools to participate in the youth training, and the youth training of the Beijing Northern United Football Team naturally also participated.

At that time, although Jin Shang didn't have many friends, he had nothing to do. He spent some time in the team's youth training and received fairly orthodox professional training.

In that cup competition, several well-known amateur wild teams in the capital jointly formed a team to sign up.

In layman's terms, it is similar to "Panggezhuang Zidane", "Fangqiao Ronaldo", "Kan Dan Inzaghi" and a bunch of well-known "field kings" in the amateur football circle, clamoring "I do what I do, I do what I do". Go up" slogan to participate in the regional amateur cup.

At that time, the average age of Jin Shang's team was only 13 years old, and the opponents were generally [-] or [-] years old. They had an absolute advantage in terms of height and physique.

In the first game, the two teams met.

At the beginning, the youth training team of our side was still trembling, thinking that the opponent had an age advantage and was so famous, so it must be a hard battle, just insist on not losing miserably.

The result of the game was surprising.

It was [-]-[-] at halftime, the second half was closed and kicked, and the game ended at [-]-[-].The youth training of the Beijing Northern United football team won a big victory. The children of the seventh-level team beat the older "wild ball kings" to the point where they were almost powerless to fight back.

Since then, Jin Shang has a deep understanding of the huge gap between the "professional level" for daily living and the "amateur level" for recreational hobbies.

Aijima, who has never experienced professional training, can only make a living in the bottom semi-professional league even if she is a little talented. Can an amateur player really help?

"Have the head coach and technical director agreed?"

"If there is any disagreement, I won't send it to you. Ashan, let me tell you, if there is no accident this year, you can definitely be promoted. The team's condition is much better than expected, the running-in is smooth, and the morale is very high. You are not a layman. You can’t be fooled by foolish words, Aijima is really good!”

"Fine!"

The players and the coaching staff are of course credited, but without the help of "Bronze Suona", several key home games may not be able to win the direct competitors for the promotion quota.

With the help of "Golden Finger", the Beijing Northern United football team had a pretty good record in the first half of the season. They only lost one game and won six and four draws in the remaining ten games, which is more points than the top team at home. , It's just that the away game is a lot worse, so that the ranking is only in the middle.

If you want to upgrade, you have to work harder in the second half of the season.

Jin Shang himself didn't have any opinions on this Aijima, and he had never met him before, so he couldn't talk about his likes and dislikes.

It's just that I'm a little dissatisfied with the fact that the club took the money but found an amateur player. It's the second thing to cheat the money. If you invest in football, you have to be prepared to be taken advantage of. I'm afraid they will play off and ruin the team's plan to upgrade.

Since Yan Xiaohong took his reputation as a guarantee, Jin Shang trusted him once.

"Brother Xiaohong, I bought it back for you. You can discuss the transfer process yourself. The money will be transferred to the club account later this month. The promised 100 million will not change. If you can't use it up, it will be used as a winning bonus. Next year, I want the team to play in the League One and Ugly. You control the competitive events, and I will take care of the off-field ones. If you have any questions, please raise them as soon as possible..."

"Enough is enough! In previous years, the annual operating expenses of the second-level teams that rely on selling points to make a living are no more than that."

The so-called "selling points to dawdle" means that the team is stronger, and in the first half of the season, they desperately won and grabbed points, and they were almost able to avoid relegation, so they became "point-giving boys".

This kind of thing basically does not involve transactions between clubs, but the behind-the-scenes funders complete the transfer of benefits through reasonable, reasonable and legal means.

For example, the Beijing Northern United football team was promoted ahead of schedule and failed to win the championship. In the last round, they encountered a team that had to win to avoid relegation. " advertised, and then Jin Shang hinted that the team should be careful during the game, so as not to get injured.

The head coach and players will be able to understand the true meaning of the words, and they will not go all out in the game, and they will lose to the opponent logically.

Afterwards, Jin Shang gave the team some bonuses, and a "tacit ball" was born.

The investigation will definitely not find out anything. The league management department can only check the clubs and players at most. They have no authority to check the sponsors and related parties behind the scenes. The case is unsubstantiated.

Every year when it comes to the key match that determines the promotion and relegation quotas, some teams will always lose for no reason. Fans and laymen can't see it clearly, and people in the industry know this well.

To put it bluntly, the football league is a show, it is both competitive sports and sophistication.

Yan Xiaohong, who happily left with the authorization document, went to reconcile the account with the accountant, and left in a hurry.

"Make money fast, spend money faster!"

Jin Shang has already read last month's financial statement and this month's budget, and the rising expenses are really a headache.

In addition to the steady increase in labor costs, the biggest expense is upgrading servers and broadband costs.

In his previous life, Jin Shang heard that when operating a video website, server rental and broadband fees were second only to copyright purchases. At that time, broadband fees had dropped significantly and P2P technology had matured.

Seeing so much money being taken away by basic operators, Jin Shang felt very distressed, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Jin Shang would comfort himself with excuses such as "It's difficult for me, but it's also difficult for my peers, and the threshold is high, but it gives Jinxi Culture more time to develop".
