"Grandmaster of Combat?" Weed was confused. "Aren't you a Mage?" Weed secretly used Identification to confirm that he was a Mage.
Gu Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in earning money in the game and I don't need it."
Weed smiled. The professional gamers in their studio knew that normal people didn't see them as a proper profession. In reality, the online gaming industry was booming and gaming studios that relied on online gaming to survive were already an important part of the entertainment industry. They entered the game and used the resources in the game to covet the players' wallets together with the gaming company. The monthly profits weren't as bad as normal people thought. Although in the early days, some studios only cared about profits, wantonly infiltrating the game and destroying the economic environment in the game, which also had a lot of negative effects on the game, as the industry became more and more formal, this business method of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs had long been eliminated. Nowadays, studios hoped for a good and harmonious environment in the game more than the players. This was especially so for a famous studio like Inge. They were a proper company with a legal business license. They even had to pay a high fee to the gaming company if they wanted to enter certain games. It was obvious that even the gaming company recognized them after they entered the standard path.
Weed had heard many of Gu Fei's words. They were all old-fashioned and didn't know that the online gaming studio industry had a bright future. This was especially so in a brand-new game environment like the parallel world. The players' needs in the game were even more plentiful, and there were countless ways for studios to earn money. It was no longer the simple and boring methods of farming gold, farming materials, or opening up gold groups in the earlier online games.
White Stone City's lime industry, Waterside City's private boat industry, Xia Wu City's lantern and torch industry. Which one of them wasn't doing well?
Previously, Weed had met a guy who thought that his income was high enough to be a pay-to-win player in the game. However, after asking him, he found out that the guy's income wasn't even comparable to that of a porter who sold white lime in Age's studio. From then on, the Weeds were even more confident. Those people who didn't think much of them, as long as they brought out any of their studio's income accounts, it would be enough to shock them. How much business was this efficient leveling method? Would the number one assassin in the parallel world pee his pants if he told them the profit he had estimated?
These thoughts flashed through Weed's mind. He decided to tell them a number to shock the two bumpkins. He said casually, "Hehe, do you think anyone would complain about having too much money? Just play some games and earn a few million yuan of pocket money from him. Why would the two of you refuse? "
Before Gu Fei could say anything, Hundred Generations Jinglin patted his pocket and said, "It's only a few million gold coins. I already have it." This guy took the money that Gu Fei didn't want from the last business deal. Together with his previous income, he had more than a million gold coins in his pocket.
Hundred Eras Strategist was proud of himself, but the other party thought that he was indeed a country bumpkin. Then, with a disapproving look, he lightly said, "I'm not talking about gold coins, I'm talking about RMB."
"I'm not talking about gold coins, I'm talking about RMB." "RMB …" Hundred Generations Jinglin's mouth was wide open.
Weed was very satisfied with Hundred Generations Jinglin's reaction. He thought that Hundred Generations Jinglin had never seen the world before. How could he be scared by just a few million? It seemed like the profit of a studio was really unimaginable to ordinary people. Even the Top Five couldn't compare. He wondered how the number one RMB player, Slender Waist Dance, would react. While thinking, Weed stole a glance at Gu Fei. He was a little annoyed when he saw that Gu Fei was still smiling calmly. He felt that Gu Fei was pretending to be reserved, so he decided to add fuel to the fire. He said, "Uh, I'm actually quite conservative with this number. After all, we haven't really started working together yet, so we haven't done detailed market research. However, let's make a rough estimate. There are currently more than 50 million players in the parallel world. As long as we promote the efficient leveling method to 10% of them, that would be 5 million players. According to your current price of 99 gold coins per person, that's 495 million gold coins. Recently, the gold coin market has been rather stable. Ying Qi's price for 100 gold coins is 30 dollars, so 495 million gold coins would be 148.5 million gold coins. "
"148.5 million!!!" Hundred Reincarnation Jinglun sucked in a cold breath.
"It's RMB," Weed reminded him again.
"What's going on?" Hundred Generations Jinglin didn't have enough brain power to process it.
"You started a small business with a few buddies, but at this time, a big company is optimistic about the prospects of your exclusive business, so they want to merge with you and expand the business. Is this what you mean?" Gu Fei explained and asked the weeds. "That's right.
"Uh, something like that!" Weed nodded. He had just calculated a number of over 100 million, but Thousand Miles Drunk didn't seem to have any reaction, which made him feel a little uneasy. How could he not be moved by such a huge number? Who's this guy?
"148.5 million …" Hundred Generations Jinglin was still mumbling, "I don't need that much …"
"Wishful thinking. That's the final income of the entire project. Who knows how many people will get a share of it! "Gu Fei asked Weed," If it's divided, how much will he get? "
Weed immediately understood. So this guy is putting on an act because he hasn't decided how the profits will be divided? Unfortunately, Weed couldn't decide how to divide the profits. He didn't dare to say anything for fear that it would affect the future negotiations. At this time, the higher-ups naturally needed to step in. Although Proud Emperor was only the person-in-charge of the Moonlit Night City branch, he still had some authority to carry out his business. He didn't make a rash promise, but said calmly, "If the two of you are interested, why don't we sit down and talk about it slowly? There's a barbecue shop on Moonlit Night City's Fourth Street. The environment is not bad. Why don't we go there and eat while we talk? "
Currently, the food in the game was mainly barbecued meat. Although there were many types of frying, cooking, and cooking, the ingredients needed were also very complicated. How could there be such things in the game? Many players were already tired of eating barbecued meat. They were clamoring to eat cumin flavored meat. This really stumped countless barbecue experts. Countless culinary experts went into the wild forest to taste the wild grass, hoping to chew out a cumin flavored one.
"Now? We haven't eaten yet! "Gu Fei said.
"Isn't this a good time to eat?" Proud Emperor said.
"I'm not talking about the game …" Gu Fei wiped his sweat. Communicating with this group of players was really annoying. They took the game too seriously.
"Oh … So it's like this! Then the two of you should go eat first. We'll contact each other later okay? "Proud Emperor didn't force them. At first, Thousand Miles Drunk didn't think much of it and was about to leave. Now that he heard such a large amount, he didn't mention the matter of refusing. Once he loosened his mouth, the next thing would be the problem of profit distribution. While this guy was eating, he could also negotiate with the higher-ups and ask what the bottom line was. As Ao Huang spoke to the two of them, he was constantly calculating in his heart.
Proud Emperor and Weeds weren't wrong about one thing. In terms of gaming, Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren were indeed country bumpkins. The two of them didn't expect a studio to be able to make so much money. Gu Fei had interacted with Remnant Dream's group of people from afar and Southbound Sword's group of seven. They seemed to be working hard and their income didn't seem to be very prosperous. However, looking at these two guys in front of him, their tone and confidence were really different from Southbound Sword's group. Could this be the difference between a big company and a small workshop? Afterwards, the two of them added each other as friends. Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren continued to discuss this matter on the way back to the city. When they reached the revival point, they both went offline. Gu Fei hurriedly ate a meal and rested for a while before returning to the game. Hundred Eras Jingren was even more anxious than him and was already waiting in the game. At this moment, he was at the revival point waiting for Gu Fei to come online.
"You're finally here. I was about to go offline to call you." Hundred Eras Jingren said.
"You have my number?" Gu Fei was puzzled.
"Ask your dad!" Hundred Eras Jingren said.
"Oh …"
"What about them? Have you contacted them?" Gu Fei returned to the main topic.
"They greeted me and I said that they were waiting for you. They said that they would go to that barbecue shop on that street and they'll be waiting there. Do you know how to get there? "Hundred Eras Jingren asked.
"If I don't know, why don't you ask?" Gu Fei randomly grabbed a player and asked for directions to Fourth Street before setting off with Hundred Eras Jingren.
Fourth Street of Moonlit Night City, Inky's Barbecue Shop was also a relatively famous place. When the two of them walked onto the street, they saw the very eye-catching "Barbecue" flag. As they walked over, they sent a message to Proud Emperor, "We're here."
The door of the barbecue shop immediately opened. The two of them saw Weed walking out and looking around. The two of them hurriedly waved their hands and hurriedly caught up. Weed's expression seemed to be far less excited than before. Seeing the two of them coming over, he indifferently said, "Please come in." Then he led the way in front.
The barbecue shop was filled with the smell of barbecue and all kinds of red wine. This kind of eating and drinking at the same time was much more popular than the tavern, so the business was really good. Gu Fei raised his eyes and glanced at the price list on the wall. On it were surprisingly "Grassland Wild Boar", "Horned Wolf", "Three-Eared Grey Rabbit", "Red Tail Snake" and other frightening names. Behind the meat was not only the price, but also the monster's level. The higher the level, the more expensive the price. It turned out that what they were eating here was not the taste of the meat, but the level.
Inky and the owner of Cloud City's tavern, Xiao Lei, were both smart enough to set up a private room outside of the main hall. However, it was clear that Inky had more people. The overall layout of the barbecue shop was clearly meticulously designed, unlike Xiao Lei's tavern which only had a table and a few stools. The style of the entire shop was different from the taverns that players most often came into contact with. As soon as people entered, they would know what this place was for.
Weed led the way and brought the two of them to a private room in the corner. Gu Fei went in and took a look. Not only was Ao Huang inside, there was also another player. On the other hand, Ao Huang's complexion was just as gloomy as the weeds. However, when he saw Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jinglun coming in, he immediately raised his face and smiled warmly, "You two have come, please take a seat."
"Okay!" Gu Fei nodded and sat side by side with Hundred Eras Jingren. Ao Huang and Weed sat opposite them, and the new player sat in the main seat.
"The two of you." This person also took the initiative to greet them, "Let me introduce myself, I am the director of Inky Studio, Cloud City, Moonlit Night, White Stone, Red Rock, Sunset Rain, and Radiant Dawn."
"Oh, hello." Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren greeted this person. At this moment, Gu Fei caught a flash of disdain in the eyes of Ao Huang and Weed when Five Nights introduced himself, and immediately understood. This studio was really systematized. It was obvious that if Ao Huang and Weed could sign this deal, it would be a great achievement for them. Bonuses and promotions were all possible because of this. Five Nights claimed to be the director of the six cities, and it seemed like he was Ao Huang's direct superior. At this time, he actually interfered, clearly trying to steal the credit of his subordinates. No wonder Ao Huang and Weed showed their dissatisfaction on their faces.
This kind of internal power struggle within a company was the same as the disputes between guilds in the game. It was all a mess, and it was impossible to distinguish right from wrong. Ao Huang and the weed were currently looking down on Wu Ye's actions, but who knew if they would also do the same thing when faced with such a huge transaction when they sat in this position? Most people who survived under a system would eventually be assimilated by the system. Those who clenched their teeth and refused to adapt to the system would either be eliminated or become the main character …
This unexpected discovery made Gu Fei realize that this cooperation was no longer the kind of small business between players that ultimately served the purpose of entertainment. If such a big business was really to be negotiated, they might have to sign legal documents to restrict the behavior of both parties. Gu Fei didn't know much about games, but he still knew these common sense.
"Uh, regarding the prospects of the efficient leveling method, I believe Ao Huang and Weed have already explained it to the two of you very clearly, right? Now, I want to hear what both of you have to say. Everyone, don't be shy, speak up. " Five Nights was not hesitant. He immediately began to bluff, and his attitude was quite high.
Although Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren had the technology to develop the efficient leveling method, without the promotion of the studio, Five Nights believed that it was absolutely impossible for them to achieve the situation of the entire game. Although it was Ying Qi who looked for the two of them first, it didn't mean that she was begging them. They couldn't complete this business without the two of them, and similarly, the two of them wouldn't be able to display their full potential without them. Both sides were indispensable. It was inevitable that the two of them would raise the price when they appeared as if they were begging for cooperation. Therefore, Five Nights first put on a high attitude to let the two of them realize the value of their studio, so that they wouldn't think too highly of themselves. At the same time, Five Nights had another thought: How did Thousand Miles Drunk and Hundred Eras Jingren develop the efficient leveling method? If they could directly grasp the key to it, they could completely kick the two of them away. Even if the conditions were limited, they might be able to take the initiative.
Five Nights' thoughts were not wrong, but it was a pity that they completely didn't understand the thoughts and values of Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Jingren, the two martial artists, and ordinary people.
Gu Fei didn't lack money at all, and his personal pursuit was spiritual rather than material, so no matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be a temptation to him. On the other hand, although Hundred Eras Jingren lacked money, his highest pursuit was also spiritual rather than material. Therefore, to him, enough money could be a temptation, but no matter how much money he had, the temptation wouldn't be magnified. When he heard the number 148 million, Hundred Eras Jingren said, "I don't need that much." Ordinary people might think that this person was really silly, but in fact, it was the values of martial artists that led him to say such silly words. For them, satisfaction, happiness, and joy couldn't be bought with money, so what was the point of having money? Money was just a means to ensure life.
No matter how high Five Nights' attitude was, could it be higher than Gu Fei's indifferent attitude? Hearing Five Nights' question, he turned to look at Hundred Eras Jingren. Gu Fei didn't have any pursuit, so when it came to practical matters, Hundred Eras Jingren, who had needs, would have to make the decision. As a result, Hundred Eras Jingren gulped and looked a little nervous. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he said to Gu Fei, "Tell me …"
Was Gu Fei the kind of person who would drag his feet? Seeing that Hundred Eras Jingren was going to entrust him with full authority, Gu Fei didn't stand on ceremony. "We don't have any opinions, we just want to hear your conditions."
"Conditions? Ha … "Five Nights laughed. He felt that these two really didn't know the art of negotiation at all. They were so direct. Wasn't this showing their eagerness? This kind of guy could probably be bought at a very low price. With this thought in mind, Five Nights also began to give a long speech. After briefly describing their operating methods, he began to pour out his grievances to the two. When winning people over, they boasted that their studio was unparalleled in the world. When it came to substantive negotiations, they kept saying the truth, making people feel that their studio was simply on the verge of collapse. There were many real and fake reasons, but in the end, they could all be summed up in one sentence: We're in a difficult situation, and you have to understand. Since we're cooperating, we should show sincerity. Now that we've sincerely put out a price, it's time for you to show your sincerity.
If they were tricked at this time, they would be too embarrassed to offer a higher price, as if offering a higher price would mean that they weren't sincere, and they would be letting the other party down. It would be like adding snow to snow and pushing them into a fire pit.
After saying so much, Gu Fei turned his head and asked Hundred Eras Jingren, "How much money do you need?"
"Wait, let me calculate. My current consumption of three meals a day, daily expenses …" Hundred Eras Jingren leaned on the table and calculated.
Gu Fei despised him. "Damn, should I ask you how long you're going to live?"
