Chapter 139 Gambling Agreement
Looking at Fatty G’s solemn expression, Qin Shaoyan said slowly.
“This depends on the development progress of the team. You know, our company does not have enough experience in FPS game development, so we can only fumble slowly.”
“The entire single-player The plot part will take a long time to produce, and we also have to design the online battle function, which will take at least two to three years.”
“This is still going well, maybe five years. Possibly.”
G Fat seemed quite disappointed, "shit!"
"But we will work hard." Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "I am recruiting more developers as soon as possible. If V Society can teach us some experience , this process will be shortened.”
Hearing this, G Pang became energetic again, “This is no problem, you can send someone to my place, and I will help you train for a while.”< br>
"Gabu, you are such a good person!" Qin Shaoyan excitedly held G Fat's hand, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." G Fat said seriously Said, "John, promise me to finish it. I like this game very much."
"No problem." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "Gabu, you think this is a great game, right?"
"It's really great, very attractive." G Fat gave gave a very high evaluation, "If the subsequent plot can maintain this level, it may indeed become a hit."
"So I plan to release it on steam." Qin Shaoyan suddenly He looked at Fatty G with a serious look on his face, "How much do you think its sales volume can reach?"
Fatty G hesitated, it's really hard to say about this thing.
Some games seem to be of quite good quality, but there are many examples of them being flopped upon release.
"More than three million." Fatty G gave a conservative estimate.
"Three million?!" Qin Shaoyan laughed, "Gabu, I am confident that its sales will reach more than five million."
G Fat was a little surprised, " Five million copies? Are you sure?”
“How about we make a bet?” Qin Shaoyan finally started to show his fangs, “Let’s sign a gambling agreement now, and you will give me 10 million. For US dollars, I will launch the game on Steam within three years and guarantee that its sales will exceed five million."
"If the sales volume does not reach five million, I will refund all the US$10 million to you. , V Company can get 30% of the sales share.”
G Fat frowned and started thinking, "How much is the price of the game?"
"60 US dollars."
G Fat shook his head, "Three years is too long, within two years."
Qin Shaoyan lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said: "If you want to bet, bet bigger. With a three-year research and development cycle, I will sell more than 8 million copies. You give me 20 million US dollars, and other conditions remain unchanged. "
"No." G Fat waved his hand, "If you can't make more than 8 million, not only do you have to refund the money, but I also want 40% of the game sales share."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for a few seconds, with a very painful and struggling expression on his face, and finally stood up suddenly, "Deal!"
G Fat said with a smile: "John, you made a big bet."< br>
Qin Shaoyan also smiled, "I am very confident in my team."
"Then I am looking forward to the day when your game goes online." G Fat smiled and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand. , "Do you want to sign a gambling agreement now? I have to call my lawyer over."
"No, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "I will bring the game to the E3 exhibition, let's Go to the site and sign the gambling agreement, so that the hype effect will be better, and it will also be a publicity for Steam.”
Fat G burst out laughing, "John, your idea is great! I like it very much!"
......
Zhang Pingyi shuttled between the banquets with a wine glass, handling it with ease with reporters.
At this time, the reporters were still thinking about the red envelopes and sumptuous food and drinks, and did not bother to ask Zhang Pingyi difficult questions. After all, reporters in this era still have some ethics.
While the reporters were working hard, someone shouted, “The Penguin executives are here!”
The hotel was like an explosion. Reporters dropped their chopsticks, grabbed their cameras and rushed out. They stumbled in the crowded room, overturning the table and breaking cups and plates on the floor.
The hotel lobby manager was dumbfounded, but he didn’t dare to stop reporters and jumped in fear.
Zhang Pingyi immediately took out his wallet, "Manager, I will pay the bill and count the broken things."
After seeing the money, the lobby manager immediately changed his face and looked at Zhang Pingyi. It was like seeing his own father, "Mr. Zhang, you are welcome to come often, I will give you a 20% discount."
Here Zhang Pingyi was cleaning up the mess for the reporters, and over there the reporters had already picked up Ren Yuxin who had just gotten off the car. It's blocked. The camera lenses and microphones wanted to stab Ren Yuxin to death, and there was a chorus of questions.
"Mr. Ren, are you, Penguin, here to discuss cooperation with Valve this time?"
"When will the online version of Counter-Strike be launched?"
"Penguin Have you signed an exclusive agency agreement?”
Ren Yuxin had an uncontrollable smile on his face, but his tone was not relaxed at all, “I’m sorry, it’s not convenient for me to be interviewed. Please give way.”
"We Penguin will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market soon. I will not respond to your questions."
Soon, several people from Sentinel Technology came out and pushed through the crowd to escort Ren Yuxin into the company.
As soon as Ren Yuxin entered the door, he saw Qin Shaoyan and G Fat talking and laughing, and they were having a great time.
Qin Shaoyan looked up and saw that Ren Yuxin immediately smiled, "Mr. Ren, come here quickly, let me introduce you."
"This is Ren Yuxin, the vice president in charge of the game business of Penguin Company. Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically introduced to G Fat, "Penguin has nearly 300 million users. They are preparing to enter the game market recently and are a very powerful partner."
"Three hundred million users?!" Fatty G was shocked, so he shook hands with Ren Yuxin enthusiastically and exchanged greetings.
Under Qin Shaoyan's translation, G Fat and Ren Yuxin expressed their respect for each other, and at the same time expressed their desire to cooperate more if there were opportunities.
Ren Yuxin was very satisfied with this meeting. Last time he was in the United States, he mingled with people from other companies and didn't even have a few words with Fatty G.
The last interview Penguin conducted did not yield any useful information, so it was a wasted trip.
It’s not easy for them to blame Qin Shaoyan. After all, they have done enough to make matchmaking. If they didn’t do a good job, they can only blame themselves for wasting the opportunity.
But they didn't expect that Mr. Qin turned around and created another opportunity for them, and they met alone.
This Mr. Qin is indeed interesting.
"Let's take a group photo together." Qin Shaoyan suggested as he saw Ren Yuxin and G Fat chatting happily.
G Fat naturally would not refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
Qin Shaoyan snapped his fingers, and the photographer waiting aside ran over with his camera in hand.
Then it was time to arrange the positions. Qin Shaoyan quietly made a gesture, and Hong Fei, who was hiding behind, immediately opened a poster of the original painting.
“Click!”
In the flash, several people took photos with smiles.
Qin Shaoyan sent G Fat and George back to the hotel to settle down, then returned directly to the company and summoned Ren Yuxin again.
"Mr. Ren, come here." Qin Shaoyan copied the photos from the digital camera into the computer and opened them.
Ren Yuxin came over curiously, and then his eyes widened.
This photo is a photo of him and Fat G just now, but there is an extra poster in the background.
The poster has the classic shape of SAS, with a line of title written on it, but only the word "anti-terrorism" can be seen clearly, and the rest is blurry.
"Unfortunately, this photo was taken too poorly." Qin Shaoyan said regretfully.
“No, no, no.” Ren Yuxin’s face was full of surprise, “This is the one, very good, very perfect.”
"Oh, Mr. Qin, when did you make posters? I was caught off guard." Ren Yuxin rubbed his hands happily.
Qin Shaoyan copied the photo into a USB flash drive, pulled it out and handed it to Ren Yuxin, "You can take the photo with you. It's up to you how to use it in the future."
Ren Yuxin couldn't wait to grab the USB flash drive. With a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin, if you have nothing to do, please pay more attention to the news on the Internet."
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "Also, please tell Mr. Ma about our cooperation agreement. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin!" Ren Yuxin held Qin Shaoyan's hand tightly, "Mr. Qin, a partner like you is so rare. Let's work together more in the future."
"Well, please cooperate more!"
