"Grandmaster of Combat?" Weed was confused. "Aren't you a Mage?" Weed used an Appraisal spell to confirm that he was a Mage.
Gu Fei shook his head, "I'm not interested in making money in the game. I don't need it either."
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. 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. 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. Studios nowadays hoped for a 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 game company to enter certain games. It could be seen that even the game company recognized the studio after it entered the standard path.
Weed had heard many of Gu Fei's words. They were all old-fashioned and old jokes. He had no idea 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.
The lime industry in White Stone City, the private boat industry in Waterside City, and the lantern and torch industry in Xia Wu City were all flourishing.
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 their studio's income account, 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 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 deal. Together with his previous income, he had more than a million gold coins.
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."
"RMB … RMB …" Hundred Generations Jinglin opened his mouth. A few million RMB was like a dream to him.
Weed was very satisfied with Encyclopedic Statesman's reaction. He thought to himself that Encyclopedic Statesman was indeed a guy who had never seen the world. He could be scared by just a few million. It seemed that the profit of a studio was indeed unimaginable to ordinary people. Even the Five Strongmen were no better than this. Weed wondered how Slim Waist Dance, who was known as the number one pay-to-win player, would react in the face of such a situation. As Weed thought about it, he 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 cooperated 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 would be 495 million gold coins. The gold coin market has been quite stable recently, and we set the price of 100 gold coins at 30 yuan. So, 495 million gold coins would be 148.5 million. "
"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 calculated a number of over 100 million just now, but Qianli didn't seem to have any reaction even though he was drunk. That made him feel a little uneasy. Can't he be moved by such a huge number? What's his background?
"148.5 million …" Hundred Generations Jinglin was still mumbling, "I don't need that much …"
"You wish. That's the final income of the entire project, and we don't know how many people will get a share of it! "Gu Fei asked Weed," If we split it, how much will he get? "
Weed immediately came to a realization. Is this guy putting on an act because he hasn't decided on how to split the profits? Unfortunately, Weed couldn't decide how to split the profits, and 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. At this moment, he didn't rashly make a 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 the fourth street of Moonlit Night City, and the environment is not bad. Why don't we go there and talk about it while we eat? "
Currently, the food in the game was still mainly meat barbecue. 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 barbecue, and were clamoring to eat cumin flavored ones. This really stumped countless barbecue experts. Countless culinary experts went into the wild forest to taste the weeds, hoping to chew cumin flavored ones.
"Now? We haven't eaten yet! "Gu Fei said.
"Isn't this the right 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 troublesome, and they took the game too seriously.
"Oh … I see! Then the two of you should go eat first, and we'll contact each other later, okay? "Proud Emperor didn't force them. At first, Qianli was drunk, and was about to walk away, but after hearing such a large number, he didn't bring up the matter of refusing. Once he loosened his mouth, the next thing would be the problem of profit distribution. While this guy went to eat, he could negotiate with the higher-ups and ask what the bottom line was. As Proud Emperor talked to the two, he kept calculating in his heart.
Proud Emperor and Weeds weren't wrong about one thing. In terms of the game, Gu Fei and Hundred Realms Jingren were indeed country bumpkins, and they didn't expect a studio to be able to make so much money. Gu Fei had dealt with Remnant Dream's group of people from afar, and Wandering 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 Wandering Sword's group. Could this be the difference between a big company and a small workshop? After the two added each other as friends, Gu Fei and Hundred Realms 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, rested for a while, and then returned to the game. Hundred Realms 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 Realms Jingren said.
"You have my number?" Gu Fei was puzzled.
"Ask your dad!" Hundred Realms Jingren said.
"Oh …"
"What about them, did you contact them?" Gu Fei returned to the main topic.
"They greeted me, and I said I'll wait for you. They said they'll go to that barbecue shop on that street, and they'll wait there. Do you know how to get there? "Hundred Realms Jingren asked.
"If I don't know, why don't you ask?" Gu Fei randomly grabbed a player, and after asking for directions to the fourth street, he set off with Hundred Realms Jingren.
On the fourth street of Moonlit Night City, Ying Qi'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, and 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, and when it saw the two of them coming over, it faintly said, "Please come in." Then it led the way.
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, and the business was really good. Gu Fei looked up and glanced at the price list on the wall. On it, there were frightening names such as "Grassland Wild Boar", "Horned Wolf", "Three-Eared Grey Rabbit", "Red Tail Snake", and other frightening names. Behind the meat, there was not only the price, but also the monster's level. The higher the level, the more expensive the price. It turned out that the people here weren't actually eating the meat, but the level.
Ying Qi and the owner of the tavern in Cloud City, Little Ray, were both smart, and had even set up a private room outside of the main hall. However, it was clear that Ying Qi had more people, and the overall layout of the barbecue shop was clearly meticulously designed, unlike Little Ray's Bar that dared to open with 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, and it let people know what it was for as soon as they walked in.
The head of weeds led the way and brought the two to a private room in the corner. When Gu Fei entered, 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 Bai Jinglun. Ao Huang and weeds sat opposite of them, and the new player sat in the main seat.
"The two of you." The person also took the initiative to greet them, "Let me introduce myself, I am the director of Ying Qi Studio, Cloud City, Moonlit Night, White Stone, Red Rock, Sunset Rain, and Bright Dawn."
"Oh, hello." Gu Fei and Bai Jinglun greeted the person. At this moment, Gu Fei caught a flash of disdain in the eyes of Ao Huang and Weeds when Wu Ye introduced himself, and immediately understood. This studio was really systematized. It was obvious that if Ao Huang and Weeds could sign this deal, it would be an amazing achievement in their hands. Bonuses and promotions were all possible because of this. Wu Ye claimed to be the director of the six cities, and it seemed that he was Ao Huang's direct superior. At this time, he actually interfered, and it was obvious that he wanted to steal the credit of his subordinates. No wonder Ao Huang and Weeds showed their dissatisfaction on their faces.
This kind of power struggle within the company was the same as the disputes between guilds in the game. It was a mess, and it was impossible to distinguish between right and 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 of the people who survived under a system would eventually be assimilated by the system. If they clenched their teeth and refused to adapt to the system, they would either be eliminated or become the main character …
This unexpected discovery made Gu Fei realize that this cooperation was no longer the usual kind between players that ultimately served the purpose of entertainment. If they really wanted to negotiate such a huge deal, 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, I believe that Ao Huang and Weeds have already explained the prospects of the efficient leveling method to the two of you, right? Now, I want to hear what both of you have to say. Everyone, don't be shy. Speak freely. " Wu Ye didn't hesitate and immediately began to bluff. Moreover, his attitude was quite high.
Although Gu Fei and Bai Jinglun had the technology to develop the efficient leveling method, Wu Ye believed that if they didn't have the promotion of the studio, it would be impossible for them to achieve the situation of the entire game by themselves. 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 deal without the two of them, and similarly, the two of them couldn't display their full potential without them. Both sides were indispensable. It was inevitable that the two of them would raise the price if they were begging for cooperation. Therefore, Wu Ye 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, Wu Ye had another thought: How did Drunk Qianli and Bai Jinglun 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.
Wu Ye's idea wasn't wrong, but it was a pity that they didn't understand the thoughts and values of Gu Fei and Bai Jinglun, the two martial artists, which were different from 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 tempting to him. On the other hand, although Bai Jinglun lacked money, his highest pursuit was also spiritual rather than material. Therefore, to him, enough money could be tempting, but no matter how much money he had, the temptation wouldn't be magnified. When he heard the number 148 million, Bai Jinglun said, "I don't need that much." Ordinary people might think that he was really silly, but in fact, it was the values of martial artists that led him to say such silly words. To them, satisfaction, happiness, and joy couldn't be bought with money, so what was the use of money? Money was just a means to ensure life.
No matter how high Wu Ye's attitude was, could it be higher than Gu Fei's attitude of indifference? When he heard Wu Ye's question, he turned to look at Bai Jinglun. Gu Fei didn't have any pursuit, so when it came to practical matters, Bai Jinglun, who had needs, had to make the decision. As a result, Bai Jinglun gulped and looked a little nervous. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he said to Gu Fei, "Say it …"
Was Gu Fei someone who dilly-dallied? Seeing that Bai Jinglun was going to entrust him with full authority, he didn't stand on ceremony. "We don't have any opinions, we just want to hear your conditions."
"Conditions? Ha … "Wu Ye laughed. He felt that the two of them really didn't know the art of negotiation at all. Weren't they showing their eagerness by being so direct? This kind of guy might be able to be bought off at a very low price. With that thought in mind, Wu Ye also began to give a long speech. After briefly describing how they operated, he began to pour out his grievances to the two. When winning people over, he boasted that his studio was unparalleled in the world. When it came to substantive negotiations, he 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, it could be summed up in one sentence: We're in a difficult situation, and you have to understand that since we're cooperating, we should show sincerity. Now that we've sincerely offered a price, it's time for you to show your sincerity.
At this time, if they were tricked, they would be too embarrassed to offer a higher price, as if offering a higher price would mean that they weren't sincere and had let the other party down. It would be like adding snow to snow and pushing the other party into a fire pit.
After saying so much, Gu Fei turned his head and asked Bai Jinglun, "How much do you need?"
"Wait, let me calculate. My current consumption of three meals a day, daily expenses …" Bai Jinglun leaned on the table and calculated.
Gu Fei despised him. "F * ck, should I ask how long you're going to live?"
