Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 459 Butter is coming
In just three days, Zhang Hong completed the acquisition of Naughty Cat.

Zhou Hao invested eight million yuan and acquired 30% of the shares of Naughty Cat.

At the same time, Xu Lingyue also entrusted Zhang Hong with full authority and also spent 8 million to acquire 30% of the shares.

The couple together got 60% of the shares, and Zhou Hao became the de facto decision-maker.

In fact, Zhang Hong’s original suggestion was to simply take over all the shares in one go and let Zhou Hao have the final say in the entire Naughty Cat.

But after careful consideration, Zhou Hao rejected this plan and still left 40% of the shares to the original team.

After all, working hard for your own stock price and working for others are two completely different concepts. The former has its own motivation BUFF, while the latter is just slacking off without any negotiation.

At least in the short term, Zhou Hao has no time to manage this game studio, and they have to rely on their own initiative on a daily basis. Leaving them 40% of the shares can be considered as giving them some motivation.

With the new capital injection, Naughty Cat finally returned to safety from the edge of the cliff, but the price was... two more mountains above its head.

After all the formalities were settled, Zhou Hao invited Tang Yong over again.

"Old Tang, my money didn't come from the wind, so I hope you can be reasonable and don't use my money to do your own little tricks. If you don't want to cooperate with my plan, just tell me as soon as possible."

This blow of threat made Tang Yong feel a little dizzy. "No, no, I can't do that. Although I don't dare to call myself a moral model, I still have a bottom line."

After thinking for a while, he added: "If I were really that kind of person, I would have gone to work with those Taiwanese guys to make money easily."

Zhou Hao laughed when he heard this, "Really? What a coincidence, I was just thinking of asking you to make me some butter today."

"What?" Tang Yong was completely confused.

Zhou Hao smiled, took out a document from the drawer and threw it over, "Take a look."

Tang Yong picked up the notebook and took a look at it, and became even more confused.

Oops, I'm surrounded by beauties

What the hell is this?!

The name doesn’t sound serious. Are you really going to ask us to make butter?

With a nervous mood, he opened the plan in his hand.

After reading only the first page, he couldn't help but exclaim "Huh" and sat up involuntarily.

An interactive game shot with real people... this is a fresh idea!
Compared to those 3A masterpieces that involve all kinds of map planning, character design, motion capture, modeling and rendering... the production process of this kind of real-life interactive game is incredibly simple!

The only thing that limits its quality is the script.

And this thing happens to be Teacher Zhou’s strong point!
Awesome, awesome!

In just three days, such a plan can be produced...

He is worthy of being the man who created "The Voice of China", his brain is really useful!
After thinking for a while, he whispered, "Teacher Zhou, although this plan looks good, there are several problems that are difficult to solve."

"Tell me about it." Zhou Hao said with interest.

"First, the issue of distribution." Tang Yong pushed his glasses. "After all, this kind of game has some borderline content and is not very popular. It may be a bit troublesome to review it when the time comes." Zhou Hao looked at him suspiciously. "Old Tang, are you thinking off the track? This is just an ambiguous YY interactive game. I'm not really asking you to make borderline porn. How could there be a review problem? The standards of the Steam platform are not that small."

Old Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

You also know that there are standards, that's good.

I'm afraid that the actresses who appear on screen will be those who are disheveled and over 18...

"Second question, do you have any expectations for the sales of this project?" Tang Yong asked again: "This type of game has actually existed before, but it was not a love-themed game, but their sales were very average."

"If you just want to make a small profit or don't want to make money from it at all, then you can do this project, but if you expect to make a lot of money from it... then I dare not take it, because it is basically impossible to do." Tang Yong said.

Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "Believe me, this game will make a lot of money. It may not be an astronomical amount, but its return on investment may surprise you."

Tang Yong frowned, "This is impossible."

Zhou Hao sighed and suddenly changed the subject: "Old Tang, have you ever thought about why the game you were working on before failed?"

Tang Yong shook his head. "We have many opinions internally, but they are not unified."

"You are in the middle of the game, so it's normal that you can't see clearly." Zhou Hao said: "I also took some time to play your game these two days... In fact, there are only two words to describe it - outdated."

"Your team may be qualified in terms of technology, but your game concept is really outdated. From the plot writing to the game structure to the gameplay, they are all old stuff from more than ten years ago. To put it bluntly, they are like a can."

"They taste almost the same. People can eat the exquisite canned food produced by big factories. Why would they want to play with canned food produced by a small workshop like yours?"

Tang Yong opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

“The fundamental reason is that you have never carefully understood the market.”

After a few words of scolding, Zhou Hao began to give them some candy. "But in my eyes, this is not a shortcoming. As a technically driven team, you have solid basic skills. As long as someone can help you find the right direction, you can take off on the spot."

Pointing to the text, Zhou Hao continued: "This is the first prescription I give you. What is market demand?"

Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Tang Yong couldn't help scratching his head, "Why are you so sure it will sell well? Do you have any explanation?"

"It's very simple. Because the cost of marriage and love is increasing day by day, some opposing emotions have begun to show obvious signs of rising."

Zhou Hao sighed and said, "There is a popular term in the e-commerce circle now, called the dog-licking economy. Have you heard of it?"

Tang Yong thought about it and shook his head.

"If you don't know, go back and learn more about it." Zhou Hao continued, "In the social context where the cost of marriage and love continues to explode, this kind of electronic love product that satisfies the YY fantasies of otakus has huge market potential."

"There has never been a product like this before. As long as someone dares to be the first to try it, they will surely make a fortune."

Tang Yong frowned and thought for a long time, but finally couldn't help but said, "But making this kind of game will affect the reputation of our studio..."

"Eat your fill first and then think about your face. Doing this is neither against the law nor against public order and morality. Why are you being so hypocritical?" Zhou Hao said unhappily, "But this thing really can't be done for a long time. Just stop it immediately after harvesting a wave."

“Only when we have a healthy cash flow can we start normal operations, and that’s when we can show our strength.”
