Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 677: Scatterbrained Game Designer
"That's even worse," Jiang City said bluntly, "the drink and tea formulas of Mishu Ice City are indeed public.
But any shop daring to learn from Mishu Ice City's formula will end up losing everything, because they simply can't match the costs.
In the end, you can only produce something similar or even inferior, and yet sell it at a higher price. How do you compete like that?"
The capital competition in the modern catering industry has moved away from formulas; it's entirely a battle of equipment and cost control systems.
The TV drama trope of an old family shop being fought over by big capital because of a secret formula will never happen.
Because unstandardizable formulas are worthless.
Capital would rather build a moat with equipment and cost, brand construction, rather than relying on formulas.
Just like cola.
Even though the cola company has been marketing their formula for decades, even if other companies got the formula, they couldn't offer a price as low as cola's.
It would be better to create one's own special drink, using high prices and high profits to ensure survival.
Many expensive domestic old-brand drinks survive using this very strategy.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, local specialty beverages can't compete with cola at all.
"Actually, the most awesome thing about KFC should be their egg tarts," Jiang City continued, "the egg tarts are specially customized with air curtain cabinets by manufacturers, and they are the most expensive equipment in the entire KFC.
The tarts made with this whole setup, those better tasting will definitely be much more expensive; those cheaper won't taste as good as KFC's tarts.
If Kuxing could develop a signature beverage like KFC's egg tart, they'd definitely rake in the money."
"Then you go ahead," Chen Yiyang thought if Jiang City kept going, he would never stop.
Looking at the time, it was time to get off work.
So Chen Yiyang quickly interrupted Jiang City and hung up the phone.
Even though he was a billion-dollar billionaire.
Chen Yiyang's life after work was not very perfect either.
He was lying comfortably in a customized computer cabin that cost hundreds of thousands, playing a search and escape game.
But when retreating from the evacuation point, a line of words popped up on the screen saying the number of people at the point exceeded five, it was overloaded, and he didn't escape?
Chen Yiyang was dumbfounded.
When did this rule come about?
He quickly checked and found that the game's planner had issued a notice overnight and then made the change overnight.
Damn it.
Chen Yiyang just felt that the planner of this game was crazy.
A search and escape game not allowing evacuation, are you kidding me?
It's just like LOL or Arena of Valor games.
Originally agreed that the five winners would earn points.
Then the planner changed it so that after winning, only four would gain points, and the worst performer in the winning team would lose points just like the losing team.
Who could tolerate that?
Chen Yiyang, already fuming, thought about calling someone from Tengxu to get in touch with the game's planner.
But holding the phone, he thought again. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
For someone of his status, reaching out to ask them to correct something like this.
Isn't that just asking for humiliation?
After all, no matter how much money he had, unless he was Tengxu's CEO, they could just ignore him.
Whether they change it out of courtesy or not.
It wouldn't sound good if this got out.
Who knows, someday the game company might even use this as a marketing story.
"Look, even a big boss like so-and-so plays our game, begging us to change the settings.
But our game's planner stands firm for the players' interests, resists the temptation of money, refuses to change."
If this crappy game doesn't want to survive, I might as well make a similar game myself.
Then I can change it however I like.
As for a reliable production team, it's not like I don't have one.
Yingkumi is a good choice.
Although Yingkumi is a mobile game company, their games are basically made for both platforms.
I can borrow Yingkumi's team to build a framework, then recruit some talents from the shooting game industry to make a game.
So Chen Yiyang immediately posted a status on his social media account.
"Playing Tengxu's certain search and escape game is a bit annoying, thinking of making a similar game myself.
Is there anyone with talent in this field willing to join the team I plan to form for this?
Also, if you have any creative ideas for related types of games, you can email my company's address."
After posting this status, Chen Yiyang went to find something else fun to do, not taking it seriously.
After all, it was just a simple idea at this stage.
To implement it, detailed discussions with Yingkumi's professional team are needed.
The next morning, when Chen Yiyang woke up, he checked his phone for today's opportunity news.
This was information about being a broker for a small textile manufacturer, much like how he used to help melon sellers sell watermelons when he was in Jin City.
But with his current wealth, doing this was too strange.
So Chen Yiyang ignored today's opportunity news.
Then he noticed that someone had called him several times overnight.
But back then, Chen Yiyang was playing a game of 'guess the model by touching them' with a group of models.
So he didn't check his phone at all.
Seeing the number, Chen Yiyang found out that the calls were from Wu Changxun.
So he called back.
"Hello, Brother Wu, is there something up? Why did you call me several times last night?"
"I don't have any issues. But Little Brother Chen, are you encountering some trouble?
We can talk about anything, right, we've been brothers for so many years, why the sudden sneak attack?
By the way, I'm already in Lin'an, and I'm about to reach your place, let's talk when I arrive."
"Bizarre."
Chen Yiyang could only instruct the housekeeper to tidy up the meeting room and prepare a pot of tea, waiting for Wu Changxun to come over.
Soon after, Wu Changxun arrived.
"Brother Wu, this is your first time at my new house, right?"
When Wu Changxun last visited Chen Yiyang, he was still living in his previous small villa.
Now that he's moved to a new place, this was Wu Changxun's first visit.
"Now this house truly matches your status," Wu Changxun praised as he stepped in, looking at the space and decor.
Chen Yiyang's current villa, the ground floor is about the size of a standard football field.
But actually, for him, it's still too small.
He had also purchased a plot of land with the excuse of building a vacation tourism hotel to create an estate for himself.
The entire project is currently under construction.
Once it's completed, Chen Yiyang plans to build a racetrack, a horse farm, a real-life CS theme park, a super large swimming pool, and an ancient-style garden at home.
Then he'll get to play whatever he wants.
