Cai Jiadong continued to look at the specific plan of cooperation.
The first was to develop a new module for the game Real Estate Agent Simulator. It could be run independently on VR glasses and be free from the constraints of the computer.
Originally, Real Estate Agent Simulator had to be run on a computer and projected onto a cell phone because the game's configuration requirements were higher.
However, according to Lin Wan's latest plan, she would cut off all the unnecessary parts such as bringing NPCs to look at the houses, leaving only the basic function of looking at the houses.
Of course, she had to add a list and filter menu so that players could filter different house types in different cities. They could preview the floor plan of the house so that they could find a house that met their needs faster.
That way, the amount of calculations needed would be greatly reduced. After some adjustments to the image configuration, this module could be run on the VR glasses.
In other words, the VR glasses version was purely a 'room observer'. There were no tenants inside, and the specific layout of the house could not be changed.
If they wanted to experience other functions, they would have to go to the computer to experience the full version.
That was equivalent to opening a shortcut for people who needed to look at houses, reducing their costs.
Secondly, they would jointly invest in a new department with Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation to operate the rental platform function of Real Estate Agent Simulator.
This department had to recruit a large number of operation and maintenance personnel and supervisors.
The operation and maintenance personnel would be responsible for updating and maintaining the platform, while the supervisors would be responsible for monitoring and reviewing the information on the platform, regularly deleting false information and banning illegal accounts.
Moreover, all accounts had transaction records, and the contents of all previous transactions could be checked. This allowed the landlord or the tenant to use this data to check the past series of transaction records of the other party. Whether the other party was honest and trustworthy or had a bad record, and what the previous tenant or landlord's evaluation of the other party was all clearly visible.
Some tenants were most afraid of encountering unreasonable landlords. Similarly, landlords were also very afraid of encountering tenants who did not take care of their houses.
Under the control of the intermediary company, landlords and tenants did not have many channels to get to know each other. That was because the intermediary company was afraid that the two of them would bypass the intermediary company and not be able to earn the intermediary fees. Thus, they would only let both parties meet at the end of the contract.
However, on the new platform of "Real Estate Agent Simulator", landlords and tenants were encouraged to get to know each other without exposing their contact information. The resources were tilted to the good landlords and tenants, and the unpopular landlords and tenants were warned.
On the one hand, these supervisors were responsible for verifying the authenticity of the information. On the other hand, they were also responsible for arbitrating disputes between landlords and tenants to maintain the fairness of the platform.
Finally, it was the specific cooperation model with Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments.
Shenhua Real Estate currently had some residential building projects all over the country. Most of them were for sale.
Lin Wan did not intend to let Shenhua Real Estate change their operation model. She only hoped that they could rent out a small portion of the buildings. Although they could not earn any money from the rent of these buildings, 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, in this era where housing prices were soaring and the supply was less than the demand, it was difficult to open a big enough gap with other real estate companies.
However, if a small portion of the building was rented out in conjunction with the [Real Estate Agent Simulator], it would serve as a demonstration.
They might not have any advantage in fighting other real estate companies, but wouldn't it be a piece of cake to fight a bunch of intermediary companies?
As long as he could establish a good reputation in the rental market, this reputation would naturally affect the sales market.
After all, many young people might be renting houses in the short term, but most of them would still want to buy houses after they got married.
If a young man rented a house from Shenhua Real Estate in Beijing and was very satisfied with it after living there for a period of time, he would tell his friends that the quality of Shenhua Real Estate's houses was good and the service was good. Then, whether he decided to stay in Beijing or return to his hometown, he would give priority to Shenhua Real Estate's houses when buying a house.
As for the cooperation with Sloth Apartments, it was even simpler because Sloth Apartments was a rental brand to begin with.
At that time, the 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' would open up a separate section for Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments on the homepage. These houses would also be marked with special highlights.
In short, they would use these high-quality housing sources to support the platform, and then use the platform's resources to support these high-quality housing sources. Finally, they would drive other ordinary housing sources and allow ordinary landlords to join this new platform.
That way, the 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' did not need to be limited to the game market at all. Instead, it could expand to the real world and use another model to make profits!
The game market was still too small after all.
The 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' was limited by equipment. If it was only targeted at gamers, the best outcome would be a small profit even if Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and entertainment venues like Starbird Fitness that had purchased a large number of VR glasses.
However, if they could really enter the rental field and snatch food from Home Corporation, it would not be a small amount of money!
Not only that, if the model of the 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' could really replace Home Corporation, which was unscrupulous for profits, it might be a good thing for landlords and tenants.
Cai Jiadong was a little shocked after reading this plan.
You call this a new version update plan for the game?
This was like a company that made war simulation games suddenly having a meeting and saying that their development plan for the next version was to buy an arsenal and start arming their own troops. After completing the training, they would start a real war simulation.
That was ridiculous!
A VR game company had created a 'Real Estate Agent Simulator'. In the end, they actually wanted to use the game as a springboard to really enter the rental field?
Wasn't this crossing of realms a little too far?
However, Cai Jiadong had to admit that this plan was still feasible.
Who asked Slow Movement Studio to be born with a golden spoon in their mouths? They had a close relationship with Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation?
If this plan could really obtain the full support of Shenhua Corporation and Tengda Corporation, there would be a high chance of success.
After all, Tengda's Sloth Apartments had enough reputation and fame, and Shenhua Real Estate had a lot of funds and houses.
In addition, in the current rental market, landlords and tenants' hatred for intermediary companies such as Home Corporation had reached a critical point. This emotion would make the new project that Lin Wan planned to attract attention.
Of course, the only risk was whether this platform could always adhere to its own principles and bottom line. Would the dragon slayer become an evil dragon in the future?
If this new platform really replaced Home Corporation, would it follow the same path as Home Corporation in order to obtain more profits in the future?
Cai Jiadong did not think so.
That was because Lin Wan was similar to Boss Pei: they were both extreme idealists.
The ultimate goal of such people was not to earn money, but to change the world and make it better.
What's more, their first profession was game designers. Their ultimate goal was to design the best game. As for this rental platform, it was just a casual job after the opportunity arrived. It was not a main business.
What's more, if this platform really changed, it would probably not be able to defeat Home Corporation.
Everyone finished reading the plan.
Cai Jiadong was the first to express his stance. "I think this plan is very good. I have no objections."
"The only problem is … when are we going to talk to Shenhua and Tengda about this? We definitely won't be able to complete such a huge matter on our own. "
Lin Wan said, "I've already called Liang Qingfan. He's free at any time. As for Shenhua Real Estate, they'll be here this afternoon."
"That's why we'll first touch on the in-game functions internally in the morning. In the afternoon, we'll discuss the situation between Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments in detail."
"Today is Friday. We still have to rest over the weekend. Time is tight. I hope that we can reach an agreement in the afternoon and make an announcement as soon as possible. After all, speed is important in war. Time waits for no one."
"Everyone, feel free to speak your mind about the new version. After all, the number of players in this game will increase in the future. We have to make long-term plans in advance."
Everyone was excited and began to give their opinions.
"I think we can develop a multiplayer mode in the future. We can divide it according to the geographical location in reality and let players play different intermediaries in the same area. With a few days as a cycle, players can complete a certain number of orders every day. They can complete it in about two to three hours of game time. At the end of the cycle, the winner will be decided based on comprehensive data such as profits and reputation. That way, players who are tired of playing can also feel competitive and make the later stages of the game more fun."
"I think we can make the current map more detailed. The current city is based on Jingzhou, but the other cities are not involved. We can also develop maps for other cities so that players can better determine the location of the houses they want to see."
"We can also do a sorting mechanism and push function. That's because some tenants might not be in a rush for a day or two. They might be looking at new houses one or two months before the expiration of their old houses. We can let the tenants set their own requirements and push them to suitable houses."
"I think that apart from reviewing information and banning illegal accounts, the supervisors can also communicate with landlords or tenants through voice communication and take on the role of customer service. This can significantly improve the quality of our service."
Everyone gave their opinions while Lin Wan recorded them seriously.
Some of the suggestions might not have a high priority and could not be done in the short term, but it was necessary to record them down.
After all, according to Lin Wan's current plan, Real Estate Agent Simulator would not be a game in the future but a rental app with a high market share.
It would definitely have to be updated and iterated.
These contents could be integrated into Real Estate Agent Simulator in the future, making it more convenient and faster.
The entire meeting lasted for nearly three hours. Everyone spoke freely. Not only did they reach a consensus internally, but they also accumulated many ideas for improvement.
Lin Wan looked at the time. "Alright, that's all for the morning meeting. Everyone, hurry up and eat."
"We'll discuss the specific cooperation plan with the representatives of Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments in the afternoon!"
