Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 111 From a joke to a tangible reality

Having interacted with these startups for a while, Qin Ming understood their concerns about dealing with government officials. Perhaps fearing that Chen Bainian might feel burdened, Qin Ming quickly added, "Xiao Chen, this is a great opportunity."

With media coverage at the provincial level and recognition as a "young entrepreneur," your company will be much more successful in many aspects going forward.

For example, communication during the game license application process, as well as other industry qualification applications, industry policy support applications, and even your future talent introduction and settlement.

With official backing, things get done much more efficiently.

Chen Bainian instantly realized that this was a great opportunity to turn the company's potential brand influence into tangible benefits.

Having struggled and struggled for many years in his previous life, he understood all too well the help that endorsement could bring.

"Understood, thank you for the guidance, Brother Ming." Chen Bainian thanked him sincerely, "Then how do I need to cooperate?"

'

"The provincial TV station will coordinate the specific interview time and outline with you. Just prepare as usual." Qin Ming said, then cracked a joke to ease the tension, "Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. There will be quite a few people interviewing for this project, and you're not the only one in our park."

You won't get much screen time, maybe less than a minute, so just take it easy.

"Understood, Ming-ge." Chen Bainian smiled.

After finishing our business, it was time to see the guests off.

However, looking at Qin Ming in front of him, Chen Bainian remembered what he had just talked about with Zhou Lihui and casually asked, "Brother Ming, does our Art and Creation Town have a venue that can accommodate about a hundred people for activities?"

Qin Minggang had just picked up his teacup to moisten his throat when he heard this question. He looked up and asked in return, "What kind of event are you organizing?"

"Our studio just joined the CIGA China Independent Game Alliance," Chen Bainian explained. "They want to bring GameJam to Lin'an, which is a high-intensity game development competition that takes about two days. I was thinking that if the park could help coordinate the venue, this event could be held directly in our park."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes lit up: "Game Jam? Is that a competition where a small team gets together and works out a game prototype in two days and one night?"

"Ming-ge has looked into it?" Chen Bainian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Our park is mainly focused on cultural and creative industries. We've hosted some teams before and heard people mention it." Qin Ming nodded, his tone becoming serious. "This is a good thing."

This kind of competition can promote innovation and attract talent, which is very much in line with the ideas of our Art and Innovation Town.

If you decide to hold the event here, the management committee can help you coordinate the venue.

He thought for a moment, then continued, "There's a venue near the management committee office building. It's hosted a few job fairs before, and it can easily accommodate a couple hundred people, but—"

Qin Ming paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "If there's no rush, the Xiangshan Art Commune across the street should be almost finished being renovated in about two months."

There's an exhibition hall over there; it's spacious, with better facilities and a better environment, making it more suitable for these kinds of cultural and creative activities.

.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Chen Bainian's heart stirred.

"Thank you, Ming-ge," Chen Bainian said first, then followed up with, "Will the Xiangshan Art Commune across the street be ready for use this summer?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Ming noticed him looking at him and immediately realized, "You guys are planning to expand the venue again?"

Chen Bainian nodded.

The open office area outside currently only has about thirty people seated, which is still some distance from the maximum of fifty.

However, once joining CIGA is finalized, there will be more and more activities and functions to take on in order to expand influence.

A company doesn't necessarily need to break down operations, business, marketing, and public relations into separate departments.

But a department capable of doing these tasks definitely needs to be established.

Some things, however, require a place.

More importantly, "Potato Survivor" has already exceeded expectations in sales and word-of-mouth after only one day of its release.

Once the payments come in, the development department needs to expand, and the product department for the official website and subsequent platforms also needs to be established.

These are all people we absolutely need to hire.

So, the initial estimate of a maximum of fifty people was actually a bit conservative.

"Yes, Ming-ge," Chen Bainian replied frankly. "Our team is growing, the project is progressing, and our influence is gradually expanding. This place can probably only support us until the end of our next major project cycle, after which we will need a more spacious place."

After hearing this, Qin Ming laughed heartily: "That's a good thing! It shows you're developing very quickly!"

After saying that, he stood up and patted Chen Bainian on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you have any needs, the park will definitely give priority to high-quality enterprises like yours."

The art community across the street, or other better vacant office spaces, will be available for you to choose from.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

About two months ago, when Chen Bainian and Xu Haoran first came to the park to look at the site.

At that time, "Getting Over It" had only been online for a week, and its sales had just exceeded 100,000.

He immediately sensed that this young man was extraordinary.

But unexpectedly, in just two months, the longevity game has developed so quickly.

After seeing Qin Ming off, Chen Bainian did not immediately return to his workstation. Instead, he went to the west side of the open office area, pushed open the glass door, and went to the terrace.

The wind at the end of April carried a hint of early summer warmth, blowing across the terrace and brushing against my face.

Chen Bainian leaned on the railing, looking towards the Xiangshan Art Commune on the other side of the river.

The green fences are being dismantled piece by piece, revealing rows of renovated gray-white buildings inside.

He suddenly remembered his conversation with Xu Haoran two months ago.

"I wish we were on the other side."

"Then let's work hard and be the first company to move in."

At that time, it was probably just a joke, a possible vision for the future.

And now, this vision is becoming a tangible reality.

On the morning of the second day after the release of "Potato Survivor", he received Zhou Lihui and Qin Ming.

One represents industry recognition, and the other represents official attention.

The two things collided, and it made him see some things more clearly:

The little boat that had just set sail, Longevity Games, was moving even faster than it had anticipated.

Scenes from my past life flashed through my mind again.

Having worked in the industry for over a decade, he has witnessed too many stories of skyscrapers rising, grand banquets being held, and then the buildings collapsing.

Some teams may seem to be doing very well now, but in the end, they don't lose to the market or competitors, but because they get carried away and ruin themselves.

In this life, he lived one more time than others, so he could see both the opportunities ahead and the pitfalls beneath his feet.

The long-term gaming business needs its helmsman to remain clear-headed at all times.

Xu Haoran walked up to him at some point and gently patted his shoulder: "What are you standing here daydreaming about?"

"I was thinking that once the other side is finished, when we move over, we need to find a window that can see this side," Chen Bainian said, turning his gaze away.

Xu Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Well done, Mr. Chen, you've got a long-term vision."

Chen Bainian smiled, didn't reply, and turned to walk back into his office.

In the open office area, the clattering of mechanical keyboards filled the air.

The young people on the team are focused on handling the follow-up work.

Some people were quietly discussing player feedback, some were discussing the development of the new version, and others were making arrangements for tomorrow's interviews.

He returned to his workstation and sat down.

On the computer screen, the sales curve for "Potato Survivor" continues to climb.

Outside the window, the Xiangshan Art Commune is taking shape.

Everything is just right.
