Chapter 1341 You Call This a Game Update Plan?

Cai Jiadong continued reading the specific cooperation plan.

The first part was to develop a new module for the game "Real Estate Agent Simulator" that could run independently on VR glasses, freeing it from the constraints of a computer.

Originally, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" needed to be run on a computer and projected onto a mobile phone because the game's configuration requirements were relatively high.

But according to Lin Wan's latest plan, the unnecessary parts, such as taking NPCs to view properties, would be completely cut, leaving only the basic function of touring the apartment types.

Of course, a list and a filter menu would be added, allowing players to filter different apartment types in different cities, and preview floor plans to help them find houses that meet their needs more quickly.

In this way, the amount of calculation required would be greatly reduced, and with some adjustments to the screen configuration, the module could be run on VR glasses.

In other words, the VR version would simply serve as a "property type viewer," without tenants or the ability to modify the specific layout of the properties.

If players wanted to experience other features, they would have to play the full version on a computer.

This was equivalent to creating a quick entry point for people with housing needs, reducing their costs.

Secondly, a new department would be established jointly with Tenda Group and Shenhua Group, specializing in operating the rental platform function of "Real Estate Agent Simulator."

This department would need to recruit a large number of operations and maintenance personnel and supervisors.

The operations and maintenance personnel would be responsible for updating and maintaining the platform, while the supervisors would be responsible for supervising and reviewing the information on the platform, regularly deleting false information and banning accounts that violated the rules.

Moreover, all accounts would have transaction records, and the details of each transaction could be traced. Landlords or tenants could use this data to check the other party's past transaction records to see if they were honest and trustworthy or had a history of bad behavior. Previous tenants' or landlords' evaluations of them would be clearly visible.

Some tenants are most afraid of encountering unreasonable landlords when renting a house, and similarly, landlords are also very afraid of encountering tenants who do not take care of their property.

Under the control of intermediary companies, landlords and tenants do not have many channels to understand each other, because intermediary companies are afraid that the two parties will bypass them and prevent them from earning intermediary fees. Therefore, they only allow the two parties to meet once at the time of signing the contract.

But on this new platform of "Real Estate Agent Simulator," landlords and tenants are encouraged to understand each other without revealing their contact information. Resources are tilted toward high-quality landlords and tenants, while unpopular landlords and tenants are warned.

These supervisors are responsible for verifying the authenticity of information and arbitrating disputes between landlords and tenants to maintain the fairness of the platform.

Finally, there was the specific cooperation model with Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartment.

Shenhua Real Estate currently has some residential building projects in various parts of the country, most of which are for sale.

Lin Wan did not intend to change Shenhua Real Estate's operating model, but hoped that they could set aside a small portion of the buildings for rent. Although the rent from this portion of the buildings would basically not make any money, the key was to establish a brand.

If they only sold and did not rent, then Shenhua Real Estate would be no different from other real estate companies.

Even if the quality was better and the property services were more attentive, it would be difficult to create a large enough gap from other real estate companies in this era of generally rising housing prices and supply falling short of demand.

But if they set aside a small portion of the buildings to rent in conjunction with "Real Estate Agent Simulator," it would be equivalent to playing a display role.

It might not have much advantage against other real estate companies, but it would be very easy to take on intermediary companies, right?

As long as it can establish an excellent reputation in the rental market, then this reputation will naturally affect the housing sales market.

After all, many young people are renting houses in the short term, but after starting a family, most of them will still buy houses.

Suppose a young person rents a house from Shenhua Real Estate in the capital and is particularly satisfied after living there for a period of time, and tells his friends that Shenhua Real Estate's houses are of good quality and the service is also good. Then, whether he decides to stay in the capital or return to his hometown, he will give priority to Shenhua Real Estate's houses when buying a house.

As for the cooperation with Sloth Apartment, it was even simpler, because Sloth Apartment was originally a rental brand.

At that time, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" will have a separate section on the homepage for the houses of Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartment, and these houses will also be marked with special highlighted signs.

In short, these high-quality sources of apartments would support the platform, and the platform's resources would in turn support these high-quality sources, and ultimately drive other general sources, allowing ordinary landlords to join this new platform.

In this way, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" does not need to be limited to the game market at all, but can be extended to the real world and make profits in another model!

The game market is still too small after all.

"Real Estate Agent Simulator" itself is limited by equipment. If it is only aimed at game players, then even if you count the entertainment venues that have purchased a large number of VR glasses equipment, such as Moyu Internet Cafe and similar Xingniao Fitness, the best result will be a small profit.

But if it can really enter the rental field and grab food from the Zhujia Group's mouth, then it will not be this small amount of money!

Moreover, if the model of "Real Estate Agent Simulator" can really replace the Zhujia Group, which uses unscrupulous means for profit, then it may still be a great thing for landlords and tenants.

After reading this plan, Cai Jiadong was a little shocked.

You call this a new version update plan for the game?

It's like a company that makes war simulation games suddenly holds a meeting and says that our development plan for the next version is to buy an arsenal and start arming our own troops, and after completing the training, start a real war simulation.

It's outrageous!

A VR game company made a "Real Estate Agent Simulator," and now it actually wants to use the game as a springboard to really enter the rental field?

Isn't this cross-border leap too far!

But Cai Jiadong had to admit that this plan was still feasible.

Who let Chixin Studio be born with a silver spoon in its mouth and have a close relationship with Tenda Group and Shenhua Group?

If this plan can really get the full support of Shenhua Group and Tenda Group, then there is really a great chance of success.

After all, Tenda's Sloth Apartment has enough reputation and visibility, and Shenhua Real Estate has a lot of funds and houses.

In addition, in the current rental market, the landlord and tenants' disgust for intermediary companies such as Zhujia Group has reached a critical point, and this emotion will make Lin Wan's planned new project receive much attention.

Of course, the only risk is whether this platform can always adhere to its principles and bottom line, and whether the dragon slayer will become an evil dragon in the future.

If this new platform really replaces Zhujia Group, will it take the old path of Zhujia Group in the future in order to obtain more profits?

Regarding this point, Cai Jiadong didn't think so.

Because Lin Wan is similar to President Pei in one point: they are both extreme idealists.

The ultimate goal of this kind of person is not to make money, but to change the world and make it a better place.

Moreover, their first profession is game designer, and their ultimate pursuit is to design the best games. As for this rental platform, it is just something they do casually after the opportunity arises, and it is not their main business.

What's more, if this platform really goes bad, then it is probably impossible to defeat Zhujia Group.

Everyone had finished reading the plan.

Cai Jiadong was the first to express his opinion: "I think this plan is very good, I have no objections."

"The only question is... when will we talk to the people from Shenhua and Tenda about this matter? We definitely can't complete such a big thing by ourselves."

Lin Wan said: "I have already called Liang Qingfan, and he is available at any time. As for the Shenhua Real Estate side, they will come over this afternoon."

"So in the morning, we will first have an internal meeting about the functions in the game, and in the afternoon, we will have a detailed discussion about the situation of Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartment."

"Today is Friday, and we still have to rest on the weekend. Time is tight, and I hope we can reach an agreement this afternoon and release the announcement as soon as possible. After all, speed is crucial, and time waits for no one."

"If you have any ideas about the new version, please feel free to speak your mind. After all, the number of players in this game will increase in the future, and we must make long-term plans in advance."

Everyone became excited and started offering their opinions.

"I think we can develop a multiplayer mode in the future, divided by geographical locations in reality, allowing players to play different intermediaries in the same area. Players can complete a certain number of orders every day for a cycle of a few days, and the game time can be completed in about two or three hours. At the end of the cycle, the winner will be determined based on comprehensive data such as profit and reputation, so that those players who are a little tired of playing can also have a sense of competition, and the game can have more fun in the later stages."

"I think we can make the current big map more detailed. The current city is generally based on Jingzhou as a prototype, but other cities have not been involved. We can also develop maps for other cities to allow players to better determine the location of the house they are viewing."

"We can also create a sorting mechanism and a push function, because some tenants may not be in a hurry for a day or two, and they are looking for a new house one or two months before the expiration of the old house. We can let the tenants set their requirements, and push it to them when there are suitable houses."

"I think that in addition to reviewing information and banning accounts, supervisors can also have voice communication with landlords or tenants and serve as customer service, which can significantly improve our service quality."

Everyone offered their opinions, and Lin Wan recorded them carefully.

Some of these opinions may not have a high priority and cannot be implemented in the short term, but they all need to be recorded.

After all, according to Lin Wan's current plan, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" will not be a game in the future, but a rental app with a high market share.

It will definitely need to be continuously updated and iterated.

These contents can be added to "Real Estate Agent Simulator" in the future to make it more convenient and faster.

The entire meeting lasted nearly three hours. Everyone spoke freely, not only reaching a consensus internally, but also accumulating many improvement ideas.

Lin Wan looked at the time: "Okay, the morning meeting will end here first, everyone hurry up and eat."

"This afternoon, we will talk to the representatives from Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartment about the specific cooperation plan!"
