Chapter 079: Capital is not righteous
Ambitious people generally don't waste time on meaningless things.
Therefore, Ren Pingsheng didn't play much in his life, and after he briefly explained his intentions, he immediately took out the proof of funds that he had typed out at the Huacheng branch of Handong Bank, so that Xu Tao could see his strength.
Obviously, the number of seven zeros on the passbook is very effective, Xu Tao's pair of small eyes began to flicker, and he said vaguely while tearing the pigeon's leg with his teeth:
"You are quite rich, but Jinshan is also good to me, without Lei Jun's support, my studio would not be able to open. ”
Ren Pingsheng is familiar with the psychology of negotiators, if the two sides can't talk at the beginning, they will definitely not talk about human grievances, once the word human favor is revealed, the other party must be tempted, but his own bargaining chips are not enough to impress him, so he will use human favor as a disguise.
"What do you know about Jinshan?" Ren Pingsheng decided to avoid the truth and asked rhetorically.
"Jin Shan is a pioneer in the domestic software industry, and also the leader of domestic stand-alone games, Zhongguancun Apocalypse, martial arts love, and the conquest of North Korea...... Who doesn't know that the first game that many people come into contact with is produced by Jinshan. ”
Xu Tao said as he didn't delay what he was eating, he had already killed 4 roast pigeons, 2 baskets of barbecued pork buns and 1 bowl of rice rolls, and now he began to stuff roasted wheat into his mouth again.
"Then why didn't Jinshan become the boss of a domestic software company, nor did he become the boss of the domestic game industry?"
Ren Pingsheng didn't eat too many refreshments, he just drank the tea slowly and said slowly.
"The office market has been divided equally with the golden disc, the game market is the world of Shengda and Luoyi, Jinshan gets up early in the morning every time, and catches up with a late set, do you know why?"
Xu Tao shook his head and said that he didn't know, he really didn't understand.
Before entering Luoyi, he was engaged in the lowest level of society. Aside from gaming, he knows very little about business.
"Jinshan is an excessively precocious company, compared with other domestic enterprises, it has established a standardized enterprise system and rigorous corporate culture early, which is an advantage for a mature industry, but in the fledgling domestic game market, this style can only lead to falling behind step by step, and being beaten step by step. ”
"Every time Jinshan enters a new field, it has to fully investigate and repeatedly argue before making a decision, and when it starts to do it, its competitors are ahead of most of the track, no matter how hard it tries, it can only pick up other people's leftovers. ”
Ren Pingsheng tirelessly analyzed, he wanted Xu Tao to show his knowledge of the game industry, and at the same time, he also wanted to instill in him his own vision of the future.
"This ...... I can only play games and make games, and what you say is too complicated for me to understand. ”
Xu Tao finally stopped his chewing mouth, his small eyes flickered, and his mouth sticking to soy sauce opened slightly, looking silly.
Ren Pingsheng saw through Xu Tao's careful thinking at a glance, this person's understanding of Jinshan is by no means as superficial as it seems, and he must understand what he just said.
This person has lived at the bottom for so many years, and has accumulated rich experience in disguise, and is used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
The more Xu Tao pretends to be stupid, the more he wants to hide his inner desires, and wants to make the other party relax his vigilance in order to get more benefits.
This person should not be underestimated.
Ren Pingsheng knew that what he had said before was in vain, but he was not discouraged, and he decided to stimulate the other party with more straightforward words.
"Then let me put it simply, Jinshan is a follower of the market, not a pioneer, from WPX to martial arts romance, it is always in the mature market opened up by others, competing with opponents who are faster, stronger than it, and more ruthless than it. ”
"It is conceivable that Jinshan can't be the boss in every field, and it may be difficult to even be the second, although this kind of enterprise has a good reputation, but the future is really not big. ”
"Do you want to be an ordinary developer and live with the dividends of Jinshan, or do you want to create a reputation in China and let others admire and worship you?"
"Of course, you have to be famous. Xu Tao continued to eat siu mai again, looking indifferent.
"Okay, then let me ask you, what help did Jin Shan give you in addition to investing in you?" Ren Pingsheng asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the place where we work now is Jinshan, and there are ......."
When Xu Tao said this, he suddenly got stuck, and he didn't seem to be able to give more examples.
"Do you know how many studios there are in addition to Higashiyamaju, Jinshan. Ren Pingsheng seized this opportunity and continued to ask.
"Rainbow, Thunder, Aden, Wonderful, Sword, Zhixiong, Agni ......" Xu Tao said while breaking his greasy fingers.
"In addition to you, there are at least 7 or 8 studios, all of them are old employees with Jinshan, and they are all fighting the world with Lei Jun. ”
"Do you think that Jinshan gives them more resources, or gives you more resources. ”
Ren Pingsheng gently knocked on the table and said slowly.
Since this conversation, Ren Pingsheng has been banging on the table with this rhythm, although the sound of him knocking on the table is not loud, but the rhythm is very annoying, Xu Tao inexplicably feels a little angry.
"I am confident that the quality of my game will definitely be the first in China, and the game still has to be fun, and players will recognize you. ”
Xu Tao put down the roasted wheat in his hand, widened his eyes and said seriously, this may be the first sincere sentence he said.
Ren Pingsheng smiled slightly, and went straight to the road.
"That's a good point, but you've made "Dream Three Kingdoms" fun enough, why Yu Xin still looks down on you, why does Luoyi play you like a dog. ”
"Fuck you, Yu Sanjin is a big fool, he doesn't know anything except for soaking tender models and cheating players out of money. ”
Xu Tao clenched his fist with his right hand and knocked it heavily on the table, making the teacups clang, and the teahouse owner stretched his neck in the distance and looked at it with a worried face.
"Without me, how can there be a network of arts today, raised by a son of a bitch. ”
Xu Tao still scolded and scolded, which shows how deeply scarred he was from the experience in Luoyi back then.
When Xu Tao produced "Dream of the Three Kingdoms", Yu Xin, the founder of Luoyi, was opposed to the project, and Luoyi Company was also very optimistic about Xu Tao, but "Dream of the Three Kingdoms" was a great success, and all other projects of Luoyi Company were slapped in the face.
The success of "Dream Three Kingdoms" did not make Yu Xin look at Xu Tao differently, in his eyes, "Dream Three Kingdoms" was an accident, it fell from the sky, bend down and pick it up.
Then, Xu Tao wanted to improve his treatment in the network art, but was vetoed; Xu Tao came up with a plan for a new game, but it was also shelved; Xu Tao was angry, and only then ran away with "Dream Three Kingdoms".
Although he received Jinshan's investment and is now developing the game he wants to make, Luoyi is still an indelible pain in his heart.
Ren Pingsheng's words, like a sharp knife, stabbed the scar in Xu Tao's heart, making him bleeding and heartache.
To make a person let down their guard, either to do what they like or to give in to their pain, the pleasure and pain will divert attention, make people lose their original defense, and expose their weaknesses.
Ren Pingsheng has laid so much foreshadowing in front of him, just for this moment.
Don't fan the flames while it's hot, but when.
"That's a good point, then what is the difference between you working for Jinshan now and working for Luoyi, when you make the game bigger and make money, when Lei Jun kicks you out, what do you have left?"
Although Ren Pingsheng's tone was very peaceful, his words were as powerful as thunder in Xu Tao's ears.
Xu Tao put down the roasted wheat in his hand, his two eyebrows wrinkled together, and he thought for a long time before he said slowly:
"Lei Jun is a righteous person, he shouldn't do this. ”
Ren Pingsheng gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Hehe, Lei Jun may be very righteous, but capital is not righteous. ”
Xu Tao's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and a roasted wheat fell to the ground, but he didn't realize it, as if he was hit by this sentence.
The experience of creating "Dream of the Three Kingdoms" in Luoyi made Xu Tao deeply feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of capital, no matter how capable you are and how hard you work, as long as the person who holds the capital has a flick of his finger, everything you have will come to naught.
Xu Tao has already tasted the warmth and cold, and he is really afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.
"Instead of pinning your fate on the righteousness of others, it is better to take your own destiny into your own hands. ”
Ren Pingsheng's words, every word were like nails, knocking on Xu Tao's heart.
If he still had a lot of vigilance at the beginning, until now, these vigilances have been completely dissipated by Ren Pingsheng, and now Xu Tao's heart is hovering only that sentence:
"Capital is unjust. ”
Xu Tao raised his head and met Ren Pingsheng's eyes, his face had never been so solemn, and his eyes had never been so focused.
"What do you think?"
Ren Pingsheng understands that half of the purpose of his trip has been achieved, and the next step is to negotiate the details.
Of course, this matter cannot be discussed in the tea house. At Ren Pingsheng's suggestion, the two went to the hotel where he stayed to continue.
Although Ren Pingsheng had taken his eloquence to the extreme, Xu Tao, who was suspicious by nature, still let him spend 2 days, and then he basically reached an agreement.
