Little Genius

"Excuse me for a moment."

A lightbulb lit up in Shen Miaomiao's mind, and she felt like she had found a new direction to strive for in life.

She nodded apologetically to the representatives from rival companies and temporarily stepped away from the crowd, heading to the restroom.

Close the door, lower the lid, lock it!

Click!

The world finally quieted down.

Shen Miaomiao, sitting on the toilet lid, let out a long sigh of relief.

She needed a quiet environment to think.

Excellent!

Just now, the idiotic questions from her rivals had given her a brand new idea!

First!

For small game companies like them, the motion-sensing cabin industry was almost a guaranteed money-loser.

To begin with, the cost of purchasing a motion-sensing cabin game development engine was a significant expense!

She didn't know the exact amount, but she had heard through the grapevine that the usage fee for a mature motion-sensing cabin game engine could be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, per quarter!

Invest money!

Secondly, producing a motion-sensing cabin game wasn't something two or three people could simply handle.

The sheer scale of the project meant it was impossible to complete without a team of dozens!

Invest money!

Finally, the current market share for motion-sensing cabin games was overwhelmingly dominated by major corporations.

Therefore, to carve out a niche in the market, they would naturally have to compete with these big players in every aspect.

And that still meant investing money!

In short!

The first step to entering the motion-sensing cabin race was to pour in a substantial amount of capital.

Ranging from hundreds of thousands at the low end, to millions, or even tens of millions!

And the most crucial part!

This money wasn't guaranteed to be recouped!

On the contrary, for some small manufacturers, even if they were willing to invest, they would most likely end up losing all their capital.

Just like that rival company representative who asked a question earlier.

Want this!

Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly!

Isn't this a textbook example of a losing business?!

It's perfect for me!

Of course!

If the plan were that simple, Shen Miaomiao wouldn't have needed to come to the restroom to think.

Yes.

In addition to her intention to enter the motion-sensing cabin race, Shen Miaomiao had gained inspiration from another idiotic company's question!

That was the "horror game" genre!

You see!

In today's game market, there were only a few mainstream genres.

And the types of games suitable for motion-sensing cabins were even fewer!

As for the horror game genre, it was rarely seen even on regular platforms nowadays, let alone on motion-sensing cabins.

Anyone who had studied market economics knew this.

If a product had almost disappeared from the market, there was usually only one reason—

No one was buying it.

No market, no profit, naturally, no one would bother making them.

Hmmmm!!!

Shen Miaomiao, still sitting on the toilet lid, wore a subtle expression.

A money-draining industry that was highly likely to incur losses.

Combined with a niche game genre with no market.

Oh ho.

Isn't this a project destined to lose money?

Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but get excited.

If this wave of loss is successful, it will be a huge loss!

Even if she invested conservatively, it would still be at least a million!

Even if she invested one million, only half would be lost!

"That's still five million...!!!"

Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but gasp softly, her big eyes sparkling!

I'm really a little genius!

Shen Miaomiao thought of the fifty-yuan bill she had framed and waved her fist!

Don't worry! Fifty! I will definitely reach new heights!

This Development Festival Exchange Event was very fruitful for Golden Wind.

Thanks to the 'brainstorming' from fellow industry friends, Shen Miaomiao got a new inspiration for losing money in the restroom.

As for Gu Sheng, he got his wish and consulted with many fellow industry designers about the haptic suit issue at the exchange event.

Through the discussions, Gu Sheng learned that in this world, haptic suit technology had actually been realized ten years ago.

However, at that time, due to its extremely high cost and low compatibility, it was usually only available to high-end users.

It wasn't until a few years ago, with the joint research and development of several world-leading electronics brands, that haptic suit technology finally achieved mass production breakthroughs, starting to extend from the high-end market to the mid-range market.

And as the market penetration gradually expanded, electronic information resources compatible with haptic suits also experienced an explosion.

Watching movies, binge-watching shows, education, shopping, gaming, and relaxation... all could be achieved with haptic suits.

Thus, major game developers, sensing the opportunity, entered the market one after another.

And the game formats for haptic suits gradually solidified in this earth-shattering capital war—

Shooters, racing, and sports, the "gun, car, ball" trinity divided the world and competed globally.

As for other types of games, like Galgames, card games, and rhythm games, although one or two would occasionally pop up, they couldn't make much of a splash.

No horror games?

After understanding everything, Gu Sheng was still a little surprised.

Because from his experience, haptic suits and horror games were a perfect match!

But for some unknown reason, this seemingly perfect pairing didn't have much market in this world.

Gu Sheng kept the doubt in his heart, planning to go back and discuss it with Lu Bian and Da Jiang in detail.

It could be said that this 'intelligence gathering' was very successful.

This was a personal gain.

As for the company's gains, they were even greater.

With the reports from various game media outlets.

The day after the exchange event!

Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao became the talk of the domestic gaming circle!

"Truly a New Force! The Chief Designer of Golden Wind is So Young!"

"Shocking! The Creator of Three Hit Games is Still a Student!"

"Young? Childish? Let's Uncover the True Strength of Golden Wind's CEO!"

"This Exchange Event Showed Me the True 'New Wave' of the Gaming Industry"

"..."

Various reports poured in, and player comments flooded the internet!

'Good heavens! Gu Sheng is the same age as me!'

'Don't you feel ashamed saying that?'

'My rating: kkrrj'

'So this is the champion of quirky ideas, he's actually a bit handsome'

'Indeed, I always thought a designer who could make abstract games like Who's Your Daddy would be quite eccentric themselves, but I didn't expect Brother Sheng to be so cheerful'

'He's a sunny and cheerful big boy, so to speak'

'I really didn't expect Brother Sheng to be so young'

'Why else would they call him a new force'

'Speaking of Golden Wind's CEO... she looks so chibi, a bit cute'

'Hahahaha chibi, you mean those two buns on her head?'

"Gotta say it, she's a bit like the Lotus Prince."

"You're really something else, calling her the Lotus Prince, haha haha ha!"

"How dare you! How dare you mock our Lord Lotus!"

"No joke, you're not wrong. Lord Lotus's dad is basically the Heavenly King Li in the business world."

"..."

Comments scrolled across the screen. Gu Sheng, half-reclined in his boss's chair, watched with great amusement.

He grabbed a handful of chips, popped them into his mouth, and took a big gulp of cola. Pure bliss.

He was really enjoying himself!

Click.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on his office door.

Chu Qingzhou poked her head in and looked at Gu Sheng. "Director Gu, do you have a moment? CEO Shen wants to talk to you about the new project."
