Chapter 108: A Studio That Doesn't Make Money
The two walked into the office building, but it was not as lively as they imagined, the floor was quiet, and they didn't even see a figure.
"They are on the sixth floor. Le Yao explained to Nangong Yu.
"Have you been here before?" Nangong Yu asked Le Yao curiously.
"That's right, we also wanted to buy this studio before, so we sent me to negotiate with them, but I didn't expect them to be too dead-eyed!" Le Yao said helplessly.
Nangong Yu nodded, thought in his heart, and the two walked up.
It's quiet on the sixth floor, but unlike the desolation below, there are thick papers on the desks.
A group of people sat at the table seriously, staring at the computer in their hands.
They didn't even notice the arrival of Nangong Yu and Le Yao.
"Ah, didn't I tell you that our company doesn't agree to be acquired?Why are you here again?" The little girl at the front desk suddenly raised her head and yawned, and then saw Le Yao and said.
"You guys are working so hard, you must be paid a lot!" Nangong Yu pointed to the people who worked hard in the studio, "asked the little girl at the front desk. ”
"No salary!" The little girl at the front desk yawned, then put her hand on the keyboard again, and said to Nangong Yu weakly.
But although the little girl at the front desk looked very tired, when she put her hand on the keyboard, her eyes were very resolute and meticulous in her work.
Nangong Yu walked to the side of the little sister at the front desk, looked at her computer screen, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The computer screen of the little girl at the front desk is not a report or something like that, but modeling!
"You, you're actually modeling, aren't you the front desk?" Nangong Yu asked her with wide eyes.
"Is there a problem?" the little girl at the front desk yawned again as she spoke, "There are few people in the studio, so I was asked to be the front desk, in fact, I am the modeler of the studio." ”
The little girl at the front desk was talking, and suddenly another man walked in from the door.
The man had thick heavy circles under his eyes and a haggard expression.
"How's it going? Got the investment, boss?" the little girl at the front desk asked when she saw the man come in, greeted him, and then asked.
The man shook his head helplessly, did not speak, and continued to walk inside.
The little girl at the front desk showed an expected expression, and then continued to work.
"Wait a minute, can I invest in your studio?" Nangong Yu stopped the man and asked him.
The man stopped, turned his head and looked at Nangong Yu with some doubts, not only the man, but Le Yao also looked at Nangong Yu with a puzzled expression.
"Come to my office and say it. The man nodded, and then walked into his office with Nangong Yu and Le Yao.
After walking into the office, the man poured two glasses of water for Le Yao and Nangong Yu respectively, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "The company's funds are limited, and there is no money to buy tea, so you can drink it first." ”
"My name is Guo Cheng, do you have something to do here? If you want to buy our studio, don't say anything more. Guo Cheng introduced himself to Nangong Yu, and then said.
"Actually, I'm here to prepare to buy your studio!" Nangong Yu said to the man straight to the point, "But after meeting you, I changed my mind. ”
When Guo Cheng heard Nangong Yu's words, he looked at him sideways, and even Le Yao looked at Nangong Yu with a curious expression.
"If I were to buy your studio now, you wouldn't agree to it, would you? No matter how much it was. Nangong Yu said to Guo Cheng.
"That's right, our studio has put a lot of effort into this game, and there's no way I'm going to sell the studio and end making it. Guo Cheng nodded and said seriously.
"But you don't even have the funds, I just asked your front desk, she doesn't even have a salary, and she works two jobs by herself. Nangong Yu continued to say to Guo Cheng.
"It's a bit difficult for our studio, but I won't owe the wages of the employees, I'm ready to sell the house, and I won't owe them their wages!" Guo Chengsheng blushed and said categorically.
"But you don't have to buy a house now, because I'm ready to invest in you!" Nangong Yu said to Guo Cheng with a smile on his face.
"What?" Guo Cheng looked at Nangong Yu in disbelief, "Now that the stand-alone game market is declining, do you really want to invest in us?"
"That's right. Nangong Yu nodded, and then said, "But there is one condition, that is, when you finish this game, you will join my game studio." ”
"I need to discuss this matter with the members of the studio!" Guo Cheng frowned, and then said to Nangong Yu.
"Okay!" Nangong Yu nodded, and Guo Chengli ran out of the office.
Subsequently, Guo Cheng walked into the office with more than a dozen people, Nangong Yu, seeing that although these dozen people were tired, they exuded a firm gaze in their eyes, and they couldn't help nodding in their hearts.
"Let me talk about my conditions first!" Nangong Yu glanced at everyone and then said.
"I will invest in your studio to complete the follow-up development, I will be responsible for all the expenses, and I will pay you your salary according to the normal standard.
But once you're done, I'm going to buy your studio. Nangong Yu said.
Hearing Nangong Yu's words, everyone lowered their heads and thought about it.
"Aren't you afraid of losing money when you invest in the games we developed?" asked the little girl at the front desk.
"Actually, I'm not investing in games, I'm investing in you people!" Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "After all, I don't even know what your games are. ”
"That?" The little girl at the front desk looked at Nangong Yu with some curiosity.
"I said, I'm investing in your people. Nangong Yu explained, "I have seen your attitude towards developing games, and I believe that with your attitude, the games you make will definitely not be bad!"
"Our game will definitely not be bad, trust us!" The little girl at the front desk nodded, seemingly satisfied with Nangong Yu's answer.
"So what games are we going to make when you buy us? Aren't you going to ask us to make those skin-changing mobile games?" said a programmer with glasses.
"No, my wish is to make a single-player game with Chinese characteristics!" Nangong Yu said to the programmer with a high hairline.
Then Nangong Yu began to explain his idea of the game to everyone.
First of all, I talked about Chinese characteristics from stand-alone games. It also extended from Chinese characteristics to Chinese classical mythological works, and then talked about foreign classical mythology and excellent works, and everyone who listened to it widened their eyes.
"Yes, your idea is very good, but it's still a little bit worse than our game. The little girl at the front desk smiled, and then applauded twice and said.
Nangong Yu didn't care about the words of the little sister at the front desk, smiled at him, and then said to everyone, "How about it, have you thought about it?"
Everyone gathered together, looked sideways slightly, whispered a few words, and then Guo Cheng walked towards him and stretched out his hand to Nangong Yu.
"You have a lot of appetite for us, so we decided we could buy us now. Guo Cheng said to Nangong Yu with a smile.
"Oh?" Nangong looked at Guo Cheng with a smile, as if waiting for his explanation.
"Because you want to believe in us and invest in our games, and you also want to make good games, we appreciate you. Guo Cheng looked at Nangong Yu with a smile and said.
"Okay!" Nangong Yu nodded, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he didn't prepare a contract, so he began to draw up a contract on the spot.
"The new game we make, the proceeds will go to the new studio!" Guo Cheng said embarrassedly looking at Nangong Yu.
"You don't have to do this, you can just treat me as an investor, and just give me dividends after the new game is released!" Nangong Yu said to Guo Cheng.
"You believed in us, invested in our games, and helped us get through this, and I thank you so much. Guo Cheng scratched his head, "And this is also the will of everyone in our studio." ”
"Hahaha, it seems that you guys are really innocent and just want to make a good game!" Nangong Yu laughed and said.
After a while, the little girl at the front desk printed out the contract and put it on the desk.
Nangong Yu and Guo Cheng solemnly signed their names on the contract.
This is Nangong Yu's first studio, so I can't help but feel a little excited.
After signing the contract, everyone returned to their jobs and worked seriously when they saw that they were fine.
"There should have been many companies that have offered to buy your studio before, why didn't you agree?" Nangong Yu pointed at Le Yao, who was sitting next to him, and asked Guo Cheng curiously.
This is Nangong Yu's question all along.
"Because in the eyes of all companies, single-player games are a money-losing project, and the condition for them to buy our studio is that we immediately stop the project we are working on, which we will definitely not agree to!" Guo Cheng smiled helplessly and said.
"Can you show me your game?" Nangong Yu asked Guo Cheng curiously, and after listening to Guo Cheng and the others boasting about their games, Nangong Yu couldn't help but be curious in his heart.
At the same time, Nangong Yu also wanted to see the true strength of Guo Cheng and others.
At this time, Guo Cheng glanced at Le Yao who was sitting next to him with some embarrassment, and Nangong Yu and Le Yao instantly understood what was happening.
Le Yao is a person from a different studio, and it may even be a hostile studio.
Generally speaking, games that have not yet been released must be kept completely secret, and it is impossible to reveal the slightest information.
At this time, Le Yao pursed her lips in her seat, and suddenly looked up at Nangong Yu and said, "Let me join your studio!"
