"Are you talking about the one in Beijing, the boss of the Wangyuan Shengtang company established last year, whose surname is Meng?"

"Eh, do you know?" Zhou Jingqi asked curiously, "How is it?"

"Yes, interested, so interested!"

It's really sleepy and sent a pillow.

Mao Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said to Zhou Jingqi: "You send Mr. Meng's phone number, and I will tell him in person." ”

"Okay, by the way, how about my gift?

"Okay!"

"Then you won't be allowed to trouble me in the future!"

"That's not going to work. Mao Yi said: "One yard to one yard, do you know, I have a headache now and don't know how to explain to Yaya." ”

"Cut-the body is not afraid of the shadow, don't you just mess around?" Zhou Jingqi said with a wicked smile.

"Fuck off!" Mao Yi hung up the phone angrily.

Soon, a phone number arrived.

Mao Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and made a call.

"Hey?" came the voice of a calm middle-aged man.

"Hello Mr. Meng, I am Mao Yi from Bilibili, and I was introduced by Zhou Jingqi. ”

"Oh, hello Mr. Mao. Meng Xianming was stunned for a moment, and then asked enthusiastically: "May I ask ...... you?"

"Well, how about we meet at your company tomorrow?"

"Oh, that's disrespectful. Meng Xianming said with a smile.

Mao Yi asked Lin Zhiling to take charge of the purchase plan for "Flash Kombat" and half a bottle of fairy vinegar, and then asked her to buy a ticket to Beijing tomorrow.

After Lin Zhiling left, Mao Yi began to write and draw.

However, no matter how he writes and paints, he can only find out helplessly in the end, although domestic games have also released many games over the years.

But in terms of popularity, it is not high.

Either that's a niche product with no sequel at all.

Instead of launching these old games, it's better to develop new ones.

Develop new game ......

In fact, after having the remake of Diablo 2, Demon's Souls, and Warcraft 3, there is no need to be obsessed with triple-A games at all.

As long as other games can attract a subset of players.

So......

These three games ......

Mao Yi had a sense of proportion in his heart.

Early the next morning, Mao Yi and Lin Zhiling left for Beijing.

After some twists and turns, I met the boss of Netelement Shengtang, Meng Xianming.

"Boss Mao is really young and promising. After Meng Xianming saw Lin Zhiling, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook hands with Mao Yi with a smile and said.

"Hello Boss Meng, I'm Mao Yi from Bilibili, and this is my secretary Lin Zhiling. Mao Yi didn't shy away from anything, and said with a smile.

At first, I thought it just looked alike, but it turned out to be really Lin Zhiling, which made Meng Xianming really stunned.

I smiled awkwardly, but I didn't know what to say.

Mao Yi smiled and said directly: "Boss Meng, I don't know if you can take me to see the games your company is developing?"

"This ......"

"Don't worry, even if the cooperation fails, I can sign a confidentiality agreement now. Mao Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, what's so embarrassing?" Meng Xianming said with a smile, and then pressed the call: "Let Secretary Liu print a copy of the confidentiality agreement." ”

Mao Yi, Lin Zhiling: "......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please bear with me Boss Mao, after all, we're making games...... Always keep it secret. ”

"Yes. ”

The agreement came quickly.

Mao Yi and Lin Zhiling signed their names.

Meng Xianming enthusiastically took the two to the game production department.

As soon as she entered, Lin Zhiling frowned slightly.

Crowded.

This is Lin Zhiling's first impression of Netelement Shengtang.

On average, each employee has less than 10 square meters of floor space.

Or to put it another way, just a tiny desk.

Then there was a place of more than 30 square meters, where there were some water dispensers and the like, and a billiard table was also placed, obviously, this was the activity area.

As soon as the three of them entered, they caused a small exclamation.

Many employees were looking at Lin Zhiling with stunned expressions.

Lin Zhiling looked at Mao Yi and sighed in her heart.

Originally, I didn't have an intuitive feeling about Mao Yi's welfare for employees, but now after seeing the conditions of Netelement Shengtang, Lin Zhiling suddenly understood why Hidetaka Miyazaki was so satisfied.

It's not just hardware!

What's more important is the atmosphere!

Mao Yi ignored the exclamation, but under the leadership of Meng Xianming, he went to understand the development progress of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".

As Mao Yi estimated, the progress at this time has been developed to 50%.

The main world has been built, and all that remains is some later plots that have not been completed.

Compared with the "Ancient Sword Strange Tales" in his memory, Mao Yi found that it was almost equivalent to 15% of the complete body.

It's normal, this game is the first game in China to collectively refer to the follow-up plot as DLC.

Nodding, Mao Yi put down the document with a smile, and then left with Meng Xianming.

Looking at Lin Zhiling who was leaving, a huge exclamation sounded in the office behind him.

Soon, the news that Lin Zhiling was suspected of becoming the secretary of a certain boss spread all over the Internet!

Ignoring the disturbances of the outside world, the three of them returned to Meng Xianming's office again.

"Boss Mao, I don't know ......" Rubbing his hands, Meng Xianming asked tentatively.

"Boss Meng, then I'll tell you the truth, how much do you plan to sell Netyuan Shengtang?"

"Huh?" Meng Xianming was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Mao, I'm afraid you misunderstood, I didn't plan to sell the Netyuan Shengtang ......"

"What does it matter?" Mao Yi asked with a smile: "I just watched, the development progress of "Ancient Sword Legend" has been as high as 50%, in other words, if you are short of money now, it means that you can't make this game, and once you choose to refuse, then the cost of Netyuan Shengtang over the years, the salary of employees, will all be in vain, admittedly, this game does have merit, if it is made, it may also be able to gain a lot of money, but ......"

Mao Yi stopped and didn't say.

Meng Xianming's face became ugly.

Obviously, a game that isn't made is scrap!

Crowdfunding is not popular for domestic games.

Even if there is crowdfunding, I am afraid it is not enough at all.

This made Meng Xianming very uncomfortable.

"I can invest 30 million. Mao Yi said: "I have learned that Mr. Meng's company's capital injection is 14 million, and I will triple it, which can ensure that Mr. Meng will produce the game, and Mr. Meng's comeback only needs to merge NetElement Shengtang into Bilibili, of course, including all studios and the like, which is the case, that is, it is equivalent to the existence of NetElement Shengtang as a branch of Bilibili." ”

"Mr. Mao......" Meng Xianming interrupted: "But what is the difference between doing this and investing in my game alone?"

"Of course there is a difference. Mao Yi said with a smile: "Only my own people, I am willing to let "Ancient Sword Strange Tan" as the first batch of games to land on the national steam." ”

"What!" Meng Xianming was stunned.

But then came ecstasy!

Steam is now a world-class digital gaming platform.

For historical reasons, Huaxia has not passed the steam division of the National Bank for a long time.

This has led to the fact that many domestic games are subject to development costs and cannot recover their costs.

In fact, as early as 07 years, domestic stand-alone games entered a cold winter period.

Even Meng Xianming himself doesn't know where the future of domestic stand-alone games is.
