Chapter 153: I’m giving you an extra escape route
They previously expected to stay in Jiangsu Province for four days at most, but now it’s been more than two days.
After entering October, everyone in the studio saw that they were getting nervous - there will still be about four months until the end of the year, and even if it is postponed to March 3rd, it will still be A little more than half a year at most, less than seven months.
And they have to try their best to get everything including but not limited to the game version number, the first promotional video, the contact platform, the first two rounds and the final round of game internal and public beta within these four to seven months. Announcement and other matters, just thinking about it will make me so busy that I will explode.
So, although they really wanted to see a purple clay pot being opened in a kiln... But this is really something "I can't do".
——If they can't do it, they should go back to Xinchuan the day after tomorrow. If it's too late, the gang of monkeys staying in the studio will cause trouble.
"Hey, it's a small problem." Gong Zhou, who had heard their concerns, waved his hand, and he looked like he was wealthy, "Comrade Xiaobai, if you want to see the kiln open later, I can I’ll send someone to broadcast it live for you.”
“Or I’ll just book tickets for everyone in the studio. It only takes a day to fly here to open the kiln and then fly back with the finished products! "
"...Ah, let's just live broadcast. Flying here and there is a bit of a hassle. You're too nervous, Senior Gong Zhou." Xu Yichi twitched her lips in response - really, she shouldn't expect these demon spirits to utter any serious words that conform to human common sense!
——He is just like them demon spirits in flying, able to fly around at will!
Just waiting in and out of the airport is frustrating enough!
And every time she takes a plane, she has to languish for a day and a half without wanting to move after returning. If all this time is added together, it will be more than one day.
“Our task is indeed quite arduous... because the three of us came out to negotiate the contract this time, and the extra work produced was enough to make the guys in the studio jump up and down and scream in agony. "That's it."
Xu Yichi's eyes drifted slightly as she spoke - yes, she was talking about the plot and character draft that had been suddenly overhauled.
She estimated that at this moment, the cook and the artist were already sharpening their knives at home, waiting for the three of them to get off the plane and give them a "love hug".
——If nothing unexpected happens, the knife must be called "love".
“So, it’s better to come directly to you to watch the opening of the kiln – we can do this again when we have the opportunity – let’s live broadcast it first this time!”
“Tsk, okay. , waiting for the kiln to be opened Then I asked them to set up two high-definition equipment for you." Gong Zhou smacked his lips regretfully when he heard this, "Then you guys can leave me an address later - the tea bowls and tea trays in the Long Kiln are waiting for the opening of the kiln. It's cooled down, I'll let it go again They will send you a courier."
"By the way, I also gave you the Xi Shi pot that I made during the demonstration last time. I will also bring you some tea. You kids are fine. You can drink more tea and learn more about our Chinese tea culture!”
“Ah, this is so embarrassing.” Xu Dachang laughed and scratched his head, “The market price of the pot you made is not cheap, right? ”
"How dare we take it for nothing!"
"Hey, it doesn't matter, it's just a small amount of money." Gong Zhou didn't care much, "The Xi Shi pot is not a complicated style, it just depends on the skill of the pot maker." "A pot like this... is probably worth seven figures at most on the market - not as expensive as the investment I signed for you this time."
"Just...seven digits???" Xu Yichi was dumbfounded when he heard the sound, "What is the seven digits?"
Mr. An saw He pulled his fingers and counted again and again. After a long time, his eyes widened in exaggeration: "More than one million?"
"A little more than that, around two hundred. When the market is better, or it is auctioned, sometimes it can go up to three hundred." Gong Zhou shrugged, "It's small money, not much."
" No, no, no, Teacher Gong Zhou, this pot of yours is too precious, we can’t afford it,” Bai Miaomiao shook her head repeatedly, “I really can’t afford it!”
——The key is that we don’t know how to store it at all. After that, how should I return the favor?
Anyway, the investment can still be regarded as mutually beneficial to both parties. If their game is lucky and becomes a hit in the future, Gong Zhou, as the owner, can receive more dividends - even if it does not become a hit, According to the temperament of cultural people like them, it is not a loss to try a new way to promote their own intangible cultural heritage.
But this pot is different. This is not something that can be clearly marked with a price - especially considering Gong Zhou's age and his current status in the purple clay pot making industry, he made it with his own hands. The value of the purple clay teapot is bound to only go up in the future, not go down!
How dare they accept this... this kind of thing?
"You guys~ You young people just love to think too much." Gong Zhou shook his head and led the three of them to the small study next to him. He served them hot tea and then Got the contract.
"You can just take the pot I gave you - don't worry about it."
"But this pot is too expensive, Senior Gong Zhou... ..." Xu Yichi was hesitant - she knew that this pot was really not worth mentioning to old demon spirits like Gong Zhou who had lived for who knows how many years, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
“Your idea is wrong, Comrade Xiao Xu.” Gong Zhou, who had always been smiling, became very serious when he heard this, “I will consider giving this Xi Shi pot to you. , not because of cooperation or not, nor because of anything else.”
"Just because of the two days of getting along with each other, I feel that you children really like me, and I regard you as my own juniors."
"——Elders should give you some good things. Yes, you should do what I said I would give you. Keep it well."
"Besides, Xiao Xu, do you think I just want to give you a pot?" Gong Zhou said with a serious face, "Silly boy, I just want to give it to you. Leave a way out!"
"Life is alive. , No one can say which will come first, tomorrow or the accident - and no one dares to guarantee that every business they do will be a complete success."
"After you get this pot, you can go back and do well. Keep it, just in case one day - I say 'in case' - —If one day someone’s family has an accident that urgently needs money, or your studio has some trouble that cannot be solved, and all the resources and savings on hand are exhausted, we can still hang this pot out and change hands. A 'life-saving money'."
"Two to three million is not a lot." Gong Zhou said calmly, "But it is still a lot. It is enough for you to deal with most of the situations you may encounter - at least enough to support you in that situation for a while. ."
"So, don't push it away, kid."
"Take it."
