Investment in the Studio

Completed the matter of Doctor Gao.

Zhang Ze contacted Lin Xiaomei.

When Zhang Ze sent a message to Lin Xiaomei, Lin Xiaomei's finger happened to be resting on the chat box page of a news office on the first floor of an office building in Hanjiang City.

She also wants to send a message to Zhang Ze.

But I don't know how to speak.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze took the initiative to find her, and she immediately became visibly happy.

"Great, Boss Zhang, I was just thinking about discussing sponsorship with you."

"Our studio has always been powered by love. Usually, the video revenue from various platforms cannot even cover our food expenses, let alone the salaries of my assistants, lighting engineers, photographers, and rent."

"Boss Yue has been missing for many days. If we can't get new investment, our studio really won't be able to survive!"

Lin Xiaomei's idea is simple.

Zhang Ze is the most potential investor she has ever seen. Although Zhang Ze himself may not understand financial investment, he himself opened Haunted House and is an industrialist.

What do industrialists represent?

Represents the most reliable source of funds.

Their studio can make appropriate choices, such as reforming its main business and, in addition to the original news work, specifically interspersing Zhang Ze Haunted House's publicity.

This kind of publicity is much stronger than Chen Ge's original word-of-mouth publicity.

In modern society, we are no longer in an era where the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

"Well... how much does it cost?" Zhang Ze asked tentatively first.

He has saved more than 200,000 yuan during this period, which is neither too much nor too little. The main reason is that he doesn't have many places to spend money.

Ever since he became Fierce Ghost, he has had almost no material desires.

Just like Yang Jian of Mystery Revival, it has been corroded by Fierce Ghost for a long time and has indeed become different from ordinary people.

"The rent is 12,000 yuan a month, 3,000 yuan for water and electricity, and each person's salary is 7,000 yuan, not counting bonuses and so on. And the normal network operation requires 8,000 to 10,000 yuan a month in operating expenses."

"About...50,000 yuan a month."

Lin Xiaomei made a table for Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze After a quick glance, they are indeed very reasonable.

There's no way a small studio can produce Commissioner Smith, right?

"Is this really all there is?"

"Well... there are also some professional equipment, as well as business cooperation with other institutions, but there is no need to spend on these for the time being. If necessary, I will mention it to you?" Lin Xiaomei was a little afraid to say, she was really worried about Zhang Ze's idea of recovering the investment.

Zhang Ze thought for a while.

With his current funds, Haunted House's operating conditions.

It's really affordable Mystery Case Tracking Studio.

But after all, he took over the entire studio. He didn't use love to generate electricity. He had to make some changes.

Lin Xiaomei sees this.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to become our investor, we will change the original news section and open a special Haunted House promotion, and there will also be other publicity channels. To put it simply, it is hype."

"What is the most eye-catching thing about Haunted House? It is nothing more than bringing tourists close proximity to horror and excitement. Your Haunted House uses the most advanced virtual reality technology, coupled with traditional Haunted House scenes, and some real cases as endorsements, the publicity effect is absolutely great!"

Zhang Ze thinks so too.

Just wait for Lin Xiaomei to take the initiative.

"Okay, come to me Haunted House today, or should I go to your office? Let's talk carefully."

"Come to our office. It just so happens that you can feel relieved after seeing the scene."

The next thing will be easier to handle.

During the day, Haunted House officially opened for business.

Zhang Ze handed over the work to Shen Yue, Old Zhou and Li Yang, then took a taxi to the center of Western Outskirts, where Mystery Case Tracking Studio is located.

Lin Xiaomei was dressed in professional attire and had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing Lin Xiaomei again, Zhang Ze got straight to the point:

"I have considered your plan. There is no problem with the investment. I can even add more capital investment as appropriate, but there is a prerequisite. I must see your business capabilities."

"Hmm?" Lin Xiaomei raised his eyebrows.

True gold is not afraid of fire.

She wanted to see what problems Zhang Ze could pose to her.

"I plan to hold a Haunted House Speedrun Championship, but I have no experience in organizing or promoting competitions, so I take this as an opportunity. If you can run it successfully, I will invest in your studio in the future."

"How about it? The conditions are very simple."

Zhang Ze finished.

Lin Xiaomei was stunned for a moment. When Zhao Haiyang, the lighting engineer behind the office, heard this, he immediately became excited and urged Lin Xiaomei to make a decision quickly.

"Yes, of course I agree."

"It's just a competition. How many awards did we win in college before? This is nothing..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xiaomei, whose face was obviously much more serious, "What's more specific?"

"The competition is based on points. My Haunted House has a total of four scenes, namely Crow's Nest, Midnight Police Station, the Ring, and Second Ward. Each scene is assigned points according to the degree of horror I designed. You can get points by clearing the scene within the specified time. The one with the most points in the end wins."

"This score is determined by me. For example, Second Ward has a total of four small scenes. Each small scene will be given a final score based on the player's performance and the horror of the scene to ensure procedural justice."

"You are responsible for promoting the competition, and I am responsible for organizing the competition."

Zhang Ze said that, in addition to testing Lin Xiaomei's business capabilities, there is another more important point.

System Daily Quest.

[⑦(Daily): Unlock the third scene of Haunted House. Your Haunted House is on the right track. Open three scenes to get special rewards. Roulette Draw times × 1, mysterious reward × 1.] (Completed)

⑧No. Daily Quest was updated a long time ago.

It's just that Zhang Ze hasn't had the time to do it.

"Where's the bonus?"

"Bonus? Give me 50,000 yuan first." Zhang Ze hesitated and said.

Fifty thousand...

The amount of money is not small, but if you want to host a large enough event, it is still not attractive enough.

"Well... actually, the idea of speedrunning Haunted House is very good. We can completely implement it according to the specifications of e-sports, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract people based on money alone. You need to make some innovations in the content." Lin Xiaomei said.

"For example?"

"Like... a gimmick."

Lin Xiaomei went to the laptop and quickly typed out a plan and showed it to Zhang Ze. After reading it, Zhang Ze's eyes lit up.

As expected of a professional.

This is real journalism!

"Okay, let's follow your plan."

"Take a week to warm up first. The specific competition will be today in a week! I will transfer the initial funds to your account later, so you can feel free to do it!"
