Getting custom field value from another page

I have created a Custom Field named ‘slides_number’. I would like to get the value in my homepage but this page works differently so I don’t have a page created in admin panel for home. So I have set the ‘slides_number’ custom field to a different page with ID=194.

Then, in mi view, I show a slider which needs to take the value f ‘slides_number’ to know how many posts to show. I do this:

$slides_number = get_field('slides_number', 194);
      // Get the latest highlight news
      $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'posts_per_page' => $slides_number,
        'meta_query' => array(
          array(
            'key' => 'sfeatured',
            'value' => 'super-sfeatured',
            'compare' => '='
          )
        ),
        'orderby'=>'date',
        'order'=>'DESC'
      );
      $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

But ‘slides_number’ doesn’t get any value. What am I missing?
