Manager Liu shook his head: "It's not clear yet. I'll find out later if I ask."
The two talked for a few minutes before Wu Bei knocked on the door and came in.
Wu Bei was wearing casual clothes. He looked like a college student and was elegant. Seeing him, the president and Manager Liu were startled. Wu Bei first introduced himself: "Are they Manager Liu and Mr. Hou? I am Wu Bei."
The two stood up quickly and said enthusiastically: "Master Wu, it's us."
Wu Bei sat down carelessly and said straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush. I like playing games and I'm attracted to the brain-computer interface game you developed. I want to buy it."
Mr. Hou and Manager Liu looked at each other, and Mr. Hou smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, we spent almost 20 billion on developing this game. We really can't bear to sell it."
Wu Bei: "If you really can't bear it, you two won't see me anymore. Just make an offer. If the price is right, I will consider it."
Mr. Hou coughed and said: "The price must at least cover our input costs..."
Wu Bei: "I want all the teams and members related to the game, including all patents and factories related to brain-computer interfaces."
Mr. Hou frowned slightly: "There are more than 3,000 people related to this game, many of whom are senior R&D personnel of our company. Mr. Wu wants to take them all away, which may not be acceptable."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Large companies never lack talents."
Mr. Hou thought about it for a while and said: "It's not impossible to agree to Mr. Wu's conditions. But the price will definitely not be cheap, 23 billion. If you can accept it, we..."
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Wu Bei didn't even counter-offer and agreed immediately, "I'll ask Ouyang Zhiyuan to sign a contract with you later. By the way, I heard that the project members of this game are in a special office building. That building is
From your company?”
Mr. Hou said: "No, it's rented. The rent is about to expire and we are preparing to move out.
, change the place."
Wu Bei: "No need to move, just work in the same place."
He paused and said, "Do you have a place to experience the game?"
Manager Liu quickly said: "Yes! There is a special experience hall on the first floor of the office building."
Wu Bei: "I want to see it."
Manager Liu: “No problem, I’ll take you there!”
On the way to the office building, Wu Bei asked Ouyang Zhiyuan to come to Sihai and ask him to sign a contract with Huihuang Game Company.
After driving for ten minutes, we arrived at the office building of the game project. The lobby on the first floor was decorated in the style of a game background.
Wu Bei has known about this game since he was a sophomore in high school. He really wanted to play it, but unfortunately he couldn't afford a game cabin. However, many videos about the game have been released and he has watched a lot, but the quality of the game cannot be said.
This game is called Xiuxianzhuan. Players can upgrade by killing monsters and completing dungeons to continuously improve their level. They can also choose to join a sect to obtain more resources. However, after joining a sect, they have to do things for the sect.
You need to clock in every day.
Hearing is better than seeing. This time Wu Bei finally had the opportunity to lie down in the game cabin. When the door was closed, more than a dozen magnets were automatically attached to his head and connected with his brain waves.
Soon, Wu Bei felt a weak force trying to connect with his spirit. If he were an ordinary person, he would have entered the virtual world by now, but Wu Bei is a practitioner, so he is still awake.
However, in order to experience the game, he still allowed this energy to connect with his spirit.
About half a minute later, his spirit fell into a starry sky, a picture appeared in front of him, and then three
A huge word flew from a distance, "The Legend of Immortality".
Immediately afterwards, a white line appeared in the universe and gradually separated, revealing the world inside. Green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant, countless ancient buildings built on the mountains and suspended in the air, and rare birds and animals can be seen everywhere.
Even a monk like Wu Bei who was used to big scenes couldn't help but secretly applaud.
The screen was fully unfolded. Wu Bei was already standing in a small village. A girl named Azhen came from a distance. She was very beautiful and said with a smile: "Welcome to the game of Xiu Xian Zhuan, I am your guide.
My name is A-Zhen."
Wu Bei reached out and touched Duan Zhen's chest. It felt good and very real. It was almost impossible to tell whether it was virtual or real.
Azhen let out a sweet cry and said, "I hate it, don't touch others."
Wu Bei: "Azhen, what should I do next?" ??
Azhen: "Let me first introduce you to the Immortal Cultivation Continent."
After listening to her talk for a while, Wu Bei had some understanding of the background here, and he said: "Azhen, I want to join the sect."
Azhen: "To join the sect, you need to upgrade your talents and experience to a certain level first." Then she told him how to gain experience and add attribute points.
After having a general understanding of the game, Wu Bei experienced it for a while and quit.
The game cabin opened, and Manager Liu was still waiting for him outside. He quickly asked: "Mr. Wu, how do you feel?"
Wu Bei: "Well, you did a good job. Manager Liu, I still have something to talk to you about."
Manager Liu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he was going back on his word?
But he still smiled and said: "Okay, please come and sit in my office."
Manager Liu's office has three bedrooms and one living room. It is very large and has a dedicated fitness area and rest area, as well as a
A large living room.
He personally made a cup of tea for Wu Bei and said: "Master Wu, if you buy this game, you can modify the content according to your preferences in the future."
Wu Bei: "Did you produce that kind of brain-computer interface yourself?"
Manager Liu: "Yes. More than 40% of the money we invested was in the research and development of brain-computer interface game cabins. However, due to the high production cost, we only sold more than 10,000 game cabins in total. Each
Each one will lose hundreds of thousands."
“Can’t the cost of game cabins be reduced?”
Manager Liu: "The main reason is that the output is too small. If the annual output can reach 100,000 units, the cost can be reduced by 40%. If one million units can be sold a year, the cost can be reduced by another 80%."
Wu Bei: "So, if we produce one million units a year, the cost will only be a few hundred thousand."
Manager Liu: "Yes. This is still the early stage, and the cost will become lower and lower in the future. If the market takes off, within three years, the cost of the game cabin will drop to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. However, even if it is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan,
Not everyone can afford it. Our original plan was to increase the cost of the game cabin to several thousand yuan in ten years."
Wu Bei: “What is your production capacity?”
Manager Liu: "Our earliest production line was planned with an annual output of one million units. But unfortunately, only a small part of the production line is used."
Wu Bei: "One million units, that's okay."
Then he asked: "Manager Liu, are you interested in joining my company in the future and continuing to be responsible for this game?"
Manager Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Wu, are you willing to use me?"
Wu Bei: "You are also one of the people in charge of this game, and my godfather is your friend. He knows you very well and says that you are a very smart person who is willing to do practical things."
