Chapter 226 Quota
With Chen Peng's words, Qin Shaoyan felt much better. It seemed that his previous plan of "going overseas for single-player games" was very successful, and he still had some good feelings among the leaders of the publishing department.

Others have to rely on connections to apply for a version number, so they can just scan their faces themselves. Compared with their peers, they are far ahead.

Qin Shaoyan has already started to think about whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to apply for a few more version numbers and stock up on them.

This trick has been used by many game companies. It is used to facilitate the reskin of game projects or for emergency use.

For example, a project that was originally scheduled to be launched was launched, but the purchase price has been paid, and a substitute had to be temporarily found to replace it. However, it was too late to reapply for a version number of this substitute, so I just used it casually.

Of course, Chen Peng didn't know what was going on in Qin Shaoyan's mind. He and Qin Shaoyan had an unusual relationship, especially the last time they went to the United States for negotiations. The two were already very close friends.

When facing Qin Shaoyan, and because he was at his own home, Chen Peng relaxed a lot and chatted casually.

"Stop talking, do you think domestic game companies are getting better now?"

"Absolutely. Hundreds of online games appear every year. If things don't get better, wouldn't it be in vain for people in China?" Qin Shaoyan said casually.

"High quantity does not mean strong quality." Chen Peng sighed, "No matter what, we have to be like NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey."

Chen Peng was thoughtful and sat in silence on his chair.

Chen Peng frowned, "Is there really no chance?"

Two people were squeezed into the narrow space, one cooking and the other chopping vegetables, both of them were a little constrained.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing.

Chen Peng keenly noticed that Qin Shaoyan didn't seem to agree with his opinion, so he asked curiously: "It seems that you don't have much confidence in this."

"We are developing, and others are also making progress. It is still difficult to completely overwhelm the influence of foreign online games."

"This phenomenon will definitely happen." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The cost of high-quality production is too high and the risk is too great. Small and medium-sized companies will definitely choose a way to gamble with low cost and high profit."

"Of course it's not the same thing." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Online games should not only look at comprehensive evaluations such as gameplay design, engine application, and picture quality. In the final analysis, online games are about making money."

Chen Peng was a little surprised and asked, "I don't understand what you are saying. Aren't high-quality goods and making money the same thing?"

"Domestic game industry practitioners are actually very capable. When they grow up, foreign games will be sucked out."

"It sounds like you are not very optimistic." Chen Peng said with a smile, "We have launched a national online game project in China, focusing on supporting 100 online games. There must be a few good ones here."

Qin Shaoyan walked over curiously and took a look at the kitchen.

"It's a little small."

Chen Peng sighed, "The ministry held a seminar a while ago about the future development of the domestic online game market. I originally planned to invite you, but you are not in the country."

"I think you are an expert in this field, so I wanted to ask your opinion."

"It smells so good." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you want to help?"

"Of course, in terms of the ability to attract money and make money, there are still opportunities in a short period of time."

"Fantasy Westward Journey is a special case. The game industry may not be able to produce something similar in ten years." Qin Shaoyan chuckled, feeling that Chen Peng was too impressed.

Zhuang Lijuan, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out and said, "Old Chen, come here and help."

"The same goes for online games. The quality may be poor, but the money-making aspect is several levels higher."

“It doesn’t have to be the size of Fantasy Westward Journey, it’s just one or two orders of magnitude smaller.” Chen Peng lamented, “Looking at the popularity of domestic online games, we should soon no longer need to rely on imported games from abroad. "

"My opinion?" Qin Shaoyan laughed, "My opinion is actually to have confidence in domestic game manufacturers. Our domestic game industry is quite special. If foreign online game designs cannot adapt to the localized market, they will not be competitive. "

"This won't happen anytime soon." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "It will take three to five years anyway, and it also depends on whether our domestic game companies can live up to their expectations."

"At least three years will be enough." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "There is still a lack of phenomenal high-quality online games in China that can compete with the quality of top-notch foreign online games."

"Take movies as an example. Hollywood also has a lot of classic movies with huge investment, excellent production, and top quality, but they are not popular. Some low-cost B-level movies are poorly made, but they make a lot of money at the box office."

Chen Peng frowned, "If that's the case, then who can make high-quality products? Just copy them at a low cost and make money."

"How big is your house?" Qin Shaoyan asked casually.

Then there was the sound of the spatula hitting, the hot oil sizzling, and the aroma filling the air.

Chen Peng was a little curious, "Tell me your point of view."

"Forget it, forget it." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "It's a big holiday, it's boring to talk about this."

"More than sixty square meters." Chen Peng said casually while cutting vegetables.

Qin Shaoyan asked curiously: "Brother Chen, why do you think of asking this?"

"Yes, and it's very profitable." Qin Shaoyan replied decisively.

"Let's chat casually." Chen Peng said with a smile.

Chen Peng immediately understood what Qin Shaoyan said, but he was still a little confused, "Can bad games also make a lot of money?"

Chen Peng agreed, and immediately stood up and entered the kitchen, where there was a sound of chopping vegetables.

"And the number of small and medium-sized game companies is often the majority in the industry, while large companies are the minority."

"No, no, no," Zhuang Lijuan said casually, "My place is small and I can't squeeze in so many people."

"But this may not be a good thing for the domestic gaming industry."

"Everyone had different opinions at the seminar, but there was a consensus that domestic R&D capabilities were overall weak, so we talked about how to strengthen the R&D capabilities of the domestic industry and catch up with foreign game manufacturers."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "It should be said that it is very meaningful for the country to engage in this, but it is unrealistic to become a fat man in one bite."

"A smaller one is better than nothing." Chen Peng put the cut vegetables on the plate casually, "House prices in Beijing have risen rapidly in the past two years, and even if you want to change to a bigger house, you don't have the money."

"Isn't it possible to get a loan?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"House prices now cost six to seven thousand, and some places cost tens of thousands. Lao Chen and I can't even afford one square meter with our combined monthly salary." Zhuang Lijuan also interjected, "My children are still young now, so there is no rush to change houses."

"Don't wait any longer." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "If you can trust me, buy a house quickly, even if you borrow money."

Chen Peng was stunned for a moment, seeing that Qin Shaoyan didn't look like he was joking, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you want to get a loan, I have connections in the bank." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Mortgage this house, and then take out a loan and pay the down payment to buy two or three houses."

"It's enough to buy one big one, but if you buy two or three more, how much loan repayment will you have to make each month?" Zhuang Lijuan thought Qin Shaoyan was joking, and joked casually, "Xiao Qin, you really don't use money as money. "

Chen Peng thought for a while, "Okay, I'll do the math."

Zhuang Lijuan glanced at Chen Peng in surprise, "You really want to buy it."

"Of course, Mr. Qin is right about this." Chen Peng said with a smile, "He is a big boss worth billions, and he would not lie to me about this kind of thing."

Zhuang Lijuan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Qin Shaoyan, and looked at him in disbelief.

"Big boss?! How many billions?" Zhuang Lijuan asked doubtfully, "Are you kidding me during the big holiday?"

Qin Shaoyan chuckled and said, "Any billions are all empty."

At this time, the door outside was suddenly knocked.

Qin Shaoyan turned around and walked over, took a look through the peephole, and found two young people outside, holding things in their hands that looked like they were giving gifts.

After opening the door, Qin Shaoyan looked at the two of them seriously, "Who are you looking for?"

A young man wearing glasses asked cautiously: "Is this the home of Director Chen Peng and Chen?"

Qin Shaoyan nodded and blocked the door directly, "Yes, what do you do?"

"We are from Jiucheng. We have something to do with Director Chen." The young man wearing glasses was a little cautious and glanced inside the door. Another young man wearing a scarf glanced at Qin Shaoyan, a little confused, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Qin?!"

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "Well, you know me?"

"Hey, it's really Mr. Qin." The young man wearing a scarf quickly stretched out his hand, "I am Liu Jianfeng from Jiucheng. I have seen Mr. Qin's photo in a magazine."

The young man wearing glasses also quickly stretched out his hand, "I am Huang Xiaodong, the product director of Ninetowns."

"I have admired Mr. Qin's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him here."

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised. People from Jiucheng were not at home to celebrate New Year's Day, so what were they doing here?
Huang Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Well, Director Chen lives here, right?"

"This is."

Before Qin Shaoyan could say anything, Chen Peng walked out of the kitchen and frowned when he saw the two of them.

"How did you find my home?"

"Isn't today New Year's Day?" A smile appeared on Huang Xiaodong's face, "Let's visit Director Chen."

"If you have anything to discuss at work, I'm off today and it's not convenient to entertain you two." Chen Peng waved his hand and said, "Please forgive me."

As he spoke, Chen Peng pulled Qin Shaoyan back, sent the two people from Jiucheng away with a few words, and closed the door smoothly.

Qin Shaoyan was a little confused, "Why did he find his way home?"

Chen Peng also found it funny, "Who knows what they want to do, most likely it is for project approval."

"World of Warcraft?!" Qin Shaoyan asked in surprise.

"Hey, how did you know?" Chen Peng looked at Qin Shaoyan in surprise.

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I have friends in Blizzard. I am still the host of the World of Warcraft awards. Nothing about them is a secret to me."

Chen Peng sighed: "Mr. Qin has a wide network of contacts."

Soon the food was ready, and the three of them sat around the table and started using their chopsticks.

Chen Peng took out a bottle of wine and asked, "Would you like some?"

"No." Qin Shaoyan shook his head quickly, picked up the drink and filled his cup, "I drove here today, and I drink from the bottle."

Seeing this, Chen Peng stopped trying to persuade him and poured himself a cup, "Then you can have tea instead of bar."

"I'll give you a toast."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned while holding the drink cup, frowning and looking at Chen Peng, "Brother Chen, is there something wrong with you?"

"It's something." Chen Peng raised his glass and said seriously, "Although we haven't known each other for a long time, our relationship is like that of good friends. There is nothing to say."

After saying that, Chen Peng drank the wine in one gulp and then poured a second glass of wine.

"I understand the incident in the United States, thanks to you."

Then Chen Peng drank up the second glass of wine and poured a third glass.

Qin Shaoyan frowned and pressed Chen Peng's hand, "Brother Chen, you have something to say. What are you doing with these toasts?"

Although what Qin Shaoyan drank was a drink, he couldn't bear the size of the cup. He couldn't bear to drink three large glasses of soda.

"Mr. Qin." Chen Peng sighed, "I am humbled today because I want to ask you for something."

"Although it's hard to talk about it, I know I can only turn to you for this matter."

"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "What is going on?"

Chen Peng's face was solemn and he hesitated for a moment, "I know you are the CEO of Campus Network. Didn't you run an international college summer camp?"

"Can you help me find a spot?"

Qin Shaoyan was a little confused. You were hesitating and doing things seriously, and you've been making trouble for a long time just because of this?
"What do I care about?" Qin Shaoyan laughed, "Just this little thing?"

"Little thing?!" Chen Peng was stunned for a moment.

"It's just a small matter." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Brother Chen, just tell me who this quota will be allocated to. Do you want it to be given to your eldest nephew?"

The muscles on Chen Peng's face twitched, and he said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "My son is still in elementary school, and he is still far away from college."

"Who is it for?" Qin Shaoyan asked doubtfully.

"It's for my alma mater." Chen Peng sighed, "My university is a key university in Hebei Province. It is said to be a key university, but it is not ranked at all in the country. It cannot be compared with 985 and 211."

"I know that the places in the International College Summer Camp are precious and must be reserved for well-known universities. My alma mater is not qualified to compete, but I am not willing to accept it."

"When I was in college, the school took great care of me. I was thinking about how I could repay the school. Originally, my ability was limited and I couldn't do much."

"Now that I have such an opportunity, I want to fight for it for my alma mater."

Qin Shaoyan was silent, then he picked up the drink, clinked it with Chen Peng's glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'll arrange this."

……

Qin Shaoyan frowned after coming out of Chen Peng's house. He sat in Wuling Hongguang's van and turned on the air conditioner to blow some hot air to calm his thoughts.

After thinking for a while, Qin Shaoyan was about to drive out when he saw Huang Xiaodong and Liu Jianfeng from Jiucheng standing at the gate and wandering around.

Qin Shaoyan rolled down the window and shouted, "Come here."

Seeing that it was Qin Shaoyan, the two men hesitated and ran over, "Mr. Qin, what do you want?"

"What are you two doing here?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"We... are waiting for the bus." Liu Jianfeng said awkwardly.

"It's not easy to take a taxi today on New Year's Day, so I'll give you a ride." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Get in the car, don't be stunned."

The two people were overjoyed and quickly opened the back door and got in.

"You two are really capable. You just came to the door with your things during the festival. It's strange that they let you in." Qin Shaoyan glanced at the two of them and teased, "Who gave you the idea?"

The two looked at each other awkwardly, not daring to speak.

Qin Shaoyan asked curiously: "Don't you have a public relations department? Why did you two come here?"

Huang Xiaodong coughed and said, "I am the project leader, and I just want to find an opportunity to visit Director Chen."

"Mr. Qin...you have a good relationship with Director Chen."

"It's not bad." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "We met at the first ChinaJoy venue, and later because of business relationships, we became familiar with each other."

Liu Jianfeng complimented: "Mr. Qin still has more face."

"It's not that I'm too proud." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It's that your method is wrong."

Qin Shaoyan kicked the accelerator and sent the two of them to the subway station, "Do you two have business cards?"

"Yes." Huang Xiaodong quickly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan put away their business cards and said, "I will contact you in two days. Director Chen, please don't bother me."

"Ah?!" Huang Xiaodong was a little surprised and confused.

What does Qin Shaoyan mean by this?
