Chapter 154 The Little Princess's Dream
An hour later, Jiang Yan came back, only to find Zhou Hao was the only one left inside.

"What about the little ancestor?"

"I made a phone call." Zhou Hao replied.

Jiang Yan took a look and asked, "What's wrong? It seems like the conversation wasn't going well?"

"It's OK." Zhou Hao smiled perfunctorily, "It always feels weird to discuss copyright cooperation with a little girl."

"You don't know how to appreciate your good fortune." Jiang Yan rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "If you were to seriously discuss cooperation with Penguin, you would be given a headache by all the procedures."

"But if you can get along well with this little ancestor, things will be much simpler." Jiang Yan paused and lowered her voice further, "Director Bi is a daughter slave... Do you understand?"

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly. This elder sister was really straightforward in her words.

As they were chatting, Bi Xiaoyan, who had just finished a phone call, came back and said, "Aunt Jiang, can we eat now? My stomach has been growling for quite some time!"

"Let's go, let's go. Can I still rely on you for this meal?" Jiang Yan smiled unhappily.

Go downstairs and walk a hundred meters, and you will reach a bustling commercial street with various food shops lined up, including Chinese restaurants, Western restaurants, Japanese food, Korean barbecue... almost everything you can think of.

Princess Bi chose a barbecue restaurant and ordered three set meals as soon as she entered, without any hesitation.

Zhou Hao was stunned and asked Jiang Yan quietly, "How can she eat so much?"

"You're growing, so it's normal to eat more." Jiang Yan smiled faintly, "Order whatever you want to eat, don't be polite."

After taking the menu and taking a look at it, Zhou Hao was shocked by the prices on it.

It’s called barbecue, but the prices of the sets are shocking, with any set starting from four figures.

The detailed information of the ingredients is also specially noted below - where the ingredients are produced, what ingredients are usually used for feeding, which part of the meat is used, the fat content of the meat...

Zhou Hao felt that his own medical examination report might not contain more detailed information than this pot of meat.

What a fuss.

If he were to eat by himself, there would be no way he would pay for such a gimmick, but since someone was treating him today, it didn't matter.

When the set meal was served, Bi Xiaoyan couldn't wait to start grilling the meat, swallowing his saliva as he did so.

If you didn’t know, you would think that this girl had been hungry for several days.

Noticing Zhou Hao's strange look, Bi Xiaoyan blushed, "What are you looking at?"

Zhou Hao smiled and said nothing.

Bi Xiaoyan took the initiative to explain: "My family doesn't allow me to eat too much meat, because they're afraid that I'll grow too big and lose control of my weight."

Zhou Hao nodded to show his understanding.

The daughter of a wealthy family is born with the main mission of marriage, and controlling her body shape is one of the compulsory courses.

After eating a few slices of expensive roast beef, Zhou Hao couldn't taste any special flavor at all. It felt no different from other roast beef that cost a hundred yuan.

But Bi Xiaoyan on the opposite side was eating with gusto.

Although she enjoyed the meal, she still maintained proper demeanor and had no intention of being unrestrained.

It can be seen that daily family education is quite strict.

After eating until he was half full, Bi Xiaoyan wiped his mouth and looked at Zhou Hao, "Uncle, do you usually play games by yourself?"

"Play." Zhou Hao also wiped his mouth, "But because of my busy work, I don't have much time to play games."

"What kind of games do you play, online games or stand-alone games? Or competitive games?"

"I've played a few of them. I prefer single-player games, especially RPG and ACT." "Huh." Bi Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, "Then your preferences are similar to mine. My favorite is Japanese RPG!"

Tsk, no wonder she's dressed in a Japanese school style...

As soon as the topic of games started, Bi Xiaoyan began to talk nonstop.

He is even more familiar with those classic Japanese RPGs, and it is obvious that he really likes them.

After chatting for a while, Bi Xiaoyan finally revealed his true intentions, "Uncle, do you think there is a future for us to develop stand-alone games in our country?"

Zhou Hao didn't even think about it and shook his head. "It's impossible in a short period of time."

The domestic gaming ecosystem is completely different from that in other parts of the world.

Online games and mobile games with social attributes are the main characters, stand-alone 3A masterpieces?

How much do you plan to sell it for?
For these domestic players, when it comes to buying online game point cards and spending tens of thousands of dollars on mobile games, it’s a breeze to spend them. But when they hear that a 3A masterpiece will be sold for two or three hundred, they will immediately accuse you of robbing them.

Especially for domestic 3A products, it is extremely difficult to sell them at a high price.

The game is not selling well ==》The investment cannot be recovered ==》Loss ==》The sequel reduces costs ==》The quality declines and the reputation declines ==》Continued losses...

Few manufacturers can endure such a vicious cycle. There is a reason why Penguin can become a domestic gaming giant.

Low-cost "micro-innovation" skin-changing games, coupled with various kryptonian scams, this is the right way to make money in China.

Add to that the weird censorship and publishing license system in the country...it's really too difficult.

It was not until the release of "Black Myth" that the global village next door saw the dawn of breaking this vicious circle.

But that is also because China's national strength has reached that level, and the task of cultural export has begun to be put on the agenda, which created the soil for the birth of "Black Myth".

But now China on Earth has not yet developed to that stage.

Hearing Zhou Hao's answer, Bi Xiaoyan's eyes were somewhat disappointed, "Is there really no hope at all?"

"It will definitely be possible in the future, but it's definitely not possible now." Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "Of course, this is just my opinion. You Penguin Games are all elite experts in this industry, and their opinions should be much more authoritative than mine."

Bi Xiaoyan curled her lips. "What they said is basically the same as yours. They all said that the conditions for developing stand-alone games are not met in the short term."

Zhou Hao heard something behind the words, "You want to work on this?"

"Yes." Bi Xiaoyan said with a blazing gaze: "The future plan I have set for myself is to become a game designer and create a stand-alone masterpiece that belongs to China!"

After a pause, her eyes suddenly dimmed, "Unfortunately, it seems that no one takes what I say seriously."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan finally put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, her eyes full of meaning.

Zhou Hao already understood what Jiang Yan meant.

The little princess's future goal is to join her own game department and create a domestic 3A masterpiece.

However, at present, all of this is still just talk. No one believes her, and no one is willing to help her.

What if someone could give her a push at this time?

Providing timely assistance is definitely the investment method with the highest return rate!
Zhou Hao thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "If you really want to develop in the field of game production, maybe we can cooperate... Well, not with your Penguin Games, but with you personally."

Bi Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and blinked in confusion.

"How to cooperate?"
