Knowledge spreads wider when it is shared; industries thrive when capital is invested.
This incubator was ultimately not named after Blue Star, but was explicitly named "Morning Star".
He hoped it would become a star in the early morning, visible to young people who were just waking up, and ideally, it would also provide some direction.
The first batch of partners of Morningstar Incubator were the Star Show Competition team from the IPP platform.
The Star Talent Competition was originally designed to discover more game design talent, and it selects outstanding individuals every year. Most of these people are recruited by various companies, but many others choose to start their own businesses...
Morningstar Incubator can clearly provide a better platform for the latter.
In addition, the person in charge from the Royal Game Academy of the Sixth Star Province has also established new contact with Blue Star.
In response to the latest policies of the Sixth Star Province to encourage college students to start their own businesses, the Game Academy will also provide a lot of convenience and assistance. As a result, many students have chosen to start their own businesses directly after graduation.
The game academy takes this work very seriously, but there has never been a formalized process; the counselors simply follow up on it.
Now that an incubator has been established, spearheaded by the renowned company Bluestar, the person in charge was overjoyed and immediately followed up on the progress, while also expressing their willingness to provide manpower assistance.
In this way, the incubator managed to scrape together its initial funding and manpower.
Mingyan casually took a look and then lavishly bought a plot of undeveloped commercial land in the suburbs, intending to use it as the site for an incubator.
In response, Xia Cheng tapped him on the head: "Who buys land outright with cash? What about your loan?"
Mingyan asked blankly, "Since I already have enough money for the full payment, why do I need to borrow money from the bank?"
"..." Xia Cheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to begin explaining the normal land purchase process.
This popular science explanation might start with currency devaluation and go all the way to financial leverage for the old fossil... Even if I explained it all, I'd say he probably still wouldn't understand it for a while.
After a long pause, Xia Cheng finally said sadly, "Never mind, as long as you're happy. I'll try to keep an eye on things when we spend money at home in the future."
The reason Xia Cheng used the phrase "money being spent at home" was entirely because he had already handed over all his bank cards...
However, it is obvious that Mingyan, who doesn't even care about how much money he has, would certainly not look at Xia Cheng's account.
As for the so-called "family funds," the AI butler has been automatically managing the accounts—according to the agreement between the two, 30% of each person's personal income is regularly deposited into the family account for joint use.
And so far, this money has almost no use...
No, maybe the two of them would use it when watching a movie or having a meal.
This bank card is like a surging Yellow River when you deposit money, but when you spend money, it's like digging an ant hole at the bottom of a reservoir. You could probably spend it all before the stars go out.
Having no other choice but to accept Mingyan's suggestion, Xia Cheng finally held up the bank card and said helplessly, "How about this money is used for your financial management practice... Whether you want to buy a house or land for investment, or buy some funds or insurance, or go into venture capital, or simply speculate in stocks, what's your favorite way to manage your finances?"
Mingyan paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Investing in finances... I'm thinking of using it to make a new game."
Xia Cheng: "………………"
Ah, this answer is both unexpected and reasonable, giving one a touch of sadness as if seeing a standard ending, yet also a strange kind of cuteness?
It seems there really isn't a better way to make money in this world than "investing in making games for Earth".
Chapter 147 The Rise of the Mohist Sect
Mingyan has been extremely busy lately.
By the time he came to his senses, it was almost the end of June, and he was about to enter a new round of busyness.
This period coincides primarily with the release of the first expansion pack for "Xia Ke Xing," titled "The Rise of the Mo Sect," and the upcoming launch of "Auto Chess," a new gameplay mode for "League of Legends"...
Both sides were busy, so busy that Mingyan pulled out his cot again, and he slept in the Blue Star Building six days a week.
This made him think in a daze: it's time to build another employee dormitory building behind the Blue Star Building.
In the beginning, Blue Star Studio only had a few people, so there was no need for this.
The studio now has nearly 500 people across all its projects, making it a truly large studio. Building an employee dormitory is a natural next step.
It just so happens that Xia Cheng recently assembled a team to work on the basic site and equipment construction for the Morningstar Incubator. We could easily borrow a few more people from him…
While pondering these matters, Mingyan's mind was also multitasking, thinking about the Legend of Mir Auto Chess.
This isn't the first time League of Legends has incorporated card game elements; the Dragon Slayer Studio also created a gacha game called "Idle Heroes" using the same IP.
Of course, such a small game doesn't have the same lifespan as "League of Legends". Several years have passed, and most of the players who were going to leave have already left. The servers are no longer as full as they used to be.
Inspired by the game "Xia Ke Pai," the project team has decided to integrate the new auto chess gameplay directly into the game, allowing players to enjoy it as a special mode.
The development of Xia Ke Pai is now going smoothly, and it has basically separated from the development team of "Xia Ke Xing".
This small group of seven or eight people is currently focused on updating the Xia Ke card game.
Mingyan also transferred several programmers over there and had them create a new system that allows players to log in to Xia Ke Xing via their mobile phones and then play Xia Ke cards.
This is a new concept; logging into a PC game using a mobile phone is an innovation that many people have probably never even imagined.
This new mini-program is simply called "mini Xia Ke Xing" and has already been put into public beta testing on mobile devices.
Player feedback has been generally very positive!
In the interstellar era, "cell phone" is actually what we call it; most interstellar people call it a "personal terminal."
Functionally, it's almost the same as a mobile phone; it can be used to do everything that electronic devices can do.
However, in appearance, it is a semi-transparent object that can float freely in the air, and most people let it fly with them.
