Additional Expenses

"No matter what, we spent tens of millions to acquire it. How could we forget that?"

Ye Chen laughed out loud.

Then he said seriously, "It is true that the game 'Samsara' is your hard work, but it is also my hope! I really look forward to the day when 'Samsara' sweeps the country!"

"Mr. Ye, we have the confidence that we will not let your acquisition go to waste! Although the current market is dominated by mobile games, we all firmly believe that as long as the Samsara PC game is released, it will definitely attract countless players to join the PC game. The glory of the PC game in the past will come again because of 'Samsara'!" Xu Yingjie nodded heavily with confidence.

"That's fine. What stage has the research and development reached now?" Ye Chen asked.

"Fifty-five percent progress, a ten percent increase from when you acquired it!"

Although three or four months have passed, the progress is only 10% more than before.

But Xu Yingjie was not embarrassed at all.

Because this progress is already super fast in the industry. Of course, this speed is also based on burning money.

The first phase of funds that Ye Chen had injected before, excluding the company's operating expenses, the 15 million was basically burned out.

That's why the core member just said that Old Xu was mumbling about whether he should call Mr. Ye.

This includes wanting to ask Mr. Ye for money!

Xu Yingjie originally thought that Ye Chen, as an outsider, would feel that the progress was too slow.

Just as he was about to explain.

Little did he know that Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Ten percent progress growth, this efficiency is pretty good! The 15 million that was injected into the company's account at the beginning, has it almost been burned up?"

Xu Yingjie, who was not embarrassed just now, now became embarrassed, "Yes, the progress of research and development is proportional to the progress of spending money! Mr. Ye, to be honest, if you didn't come today, I think I would have to call you to ask for funds, because there is really not much money left on the account now!"

"It's okay. Although I don't know how to develop games, I know that the more time passes, the more money will be spent on R&D. It's definitely not something that can be done with just tens of millions of dollars! I've also read the R&D plan you gave me when we acquired the company last time. I know that the subsequent budget for the first version you plan to have is another 100 million. So, I'll increase your budget to 200 million. You can upgrade your R&D and try to speed up the development as much as possible!"

Ye Chen said seriously.

"Two hundred million?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Yingjie and others' eyes widened immediately.

"Yes, money doesn't matter. The main thing is that I want to see results quickly!" Ye Chen said.

"Mr. Ye, if there is sufficient research and development funds, for example, if we have 200 million yuan in funding, 'Reincarnation' can be released in no more than a year!" Xu Yingjie said with a dry mouth.

"Is this a military order?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"It's better than a military order!" Xu Yingjie said in a sonorous voice.

"Okay, I will inject 200 million yuan into the company's account in the next few days. Don't let me down!" Ye Chen said.

"I promise, you won't be disappointed!"

As he spoke, Xu Yingjie stepped aside to make way for Ye Chen, "Boss Ye, do you want to see our prototype at 55% of the progress?"

"Well, let's take a look!" Although Ye Chen didn't understand these.

But that doesn't mean he is opposed to understanding.

As he sat down on the chair.

Xu Yingjie and others immediately gave him various explanations.

When it comes to some more professional and obscure content, try to explain it in a way that is easy to understand.

That's all for this round of explanation.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

Because this is exactly the same as the 'reincarnation' in the previous life, with almost no difference.

Although the 'reincarnation' in the previous life has undergone several upgrades.

From the first generation of reincarnation, to the second generation, to the third generation, and finally to the seventh generation.

Each generation of upgrades and improvements further consolidates the unshakable position of "Reincarnation".

As a hardcore player of "Reincarnation", Ye Chen, who tries to use the game to numb his overwhelming longing for his wife and daughter, can be said to have a thorough understanding of every generation of upgrades in "Reincarnation".

However, he did not intend to interfere with the track of the replacement of "Reincarnation". After all, many hardcore veteran players in his previous life said that the reason why "Reincarnation" was so successful was because of its replacement of generations. Every generation replacement would make people indulge in it, and every generation replacement would bring back players who had given up playing for various reasons.

Based on this, Ye Chen did not want to use the memory of his previous life to propose a "perfect improvement" to Xu Yingjie's team, but let it be updated step by step...

The most important point is that the era of holographic helmets is still far away.

Don't rush to make 'reincarnation' perfect too early.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, there is one more thing that I haven't had time to tell you before. We have already developed the mobile game of 'Samsara'! It is developed based on the general framework of the PC game. Our idea is, should we release it to the market? Let the players start with the mobile game first, and when the PC game is released, we can seamlessly connect with it! If this is the case, when the PC game is released, we can also save a lot of publicity and promotion costs!"

After seeing the satisfied smile on Ye Chen's face.

Xu Yingjie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then thought of the mobile game and said quickly.

"Huh? Mobile game? When did you make it?" Ye Chen was stunned when he heard that.

"It was just completed yesterday! It took less than two weeks in total. But don't get me wrong, Mr. Ye, we are not taking up the development time of the terminal game to do this. Since we have the general framework of the terminal game, we don't need to spend a lot of effort. Even though it took nearly two weeks, it didn't affect the progress of the terminal game!" Xu Yingjie explained.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment.

In the previous life, there was no mobile game in "Reincarnation".

Now in this life, will mobile games become a variable?

Also, generally, PC games evolve into mobile games.

Is this an over-evolution from mobile games to computer games? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

"If the mobile game comes out, will it affect the PC game?" Ye Chen thought for a while and asked.

"Mr. Ye, don't worry. We have already considered this issue. We will never do something like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons! So you can rest assured that the emergence of mobile games will pave the way for PC games. The benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages. No...it should be said that there are no disadvantages at all, because there are still big differences between the two!" Xu Yingjie explained repeatedly.

That's all.

Half-jokingly, he continued, "I'm just worried that Tencent will copy it!"

"If Tencent copies it in order to pave the way for the PC game, it may not be a bad thing for us!" Ye Chen laughed.

Then he didn't wait for Xu Yingjie to respond.

"Well, you send me the game first, I'll try it out first, and then I'll make a decision!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
