Lin Shu did not directly describe this truth in words.

There are so many games that I have learned to sell feelings this year, so many that they are almost covered. It is not surprising that in the last 45 years of piracy, too many cultures have died from piracy; In the past 25 years when piracy games have been rampant, too many ideals and passions have died in reality.

And later, the game group that was able to survive and did not change jobs learned to sell feelings...... Or rather sell pitiful. If you don't have the movie ticket you bought, our career will have no future; If you don't have a lot of genuine sales, we won't be able to do the next round of research and development.

Lin Shu didn't like this way, because that gesture seemed too pitiful and wolf-like. He's never been one to make such a gesture – there's no harm in putting on such a gesture in business, but he doesn't have a publicity department at the moment, so he shouldn't make such a project himself.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have ideas.

For Lin Shu, the original game platform is not the only project he can use as a □□, but it is the project he chooses to fight piracy. This is the most suitable step to bring more people into the industry - to lower the level of commercial game production, and at the same time to expand the number of professional or amateur practitioners, is the most effective way for him to revive the single-player game industry and promote the development of copyright in advance.

The rest of the development is quite logical.

On June 17th, the future game engine level1 was launched, and that night, the major forums quarreled over the platform and charging standards. But even so, the amount on Lin Shu's books is still growing at an alarming rate.

On June 18, the charging standard for the engine was very condemned, and this was exactly what Lin Shu expected, he silently watched the development of the situation, even if he was personally attacked, he did not say anything.

On the evening of June 18th, the quarrel entered the □□, although some people have already said that the game platform has not made a double charging mechanism, but it has not been taken seriously.

That evening, Lin Shu posted a message on his official Weibo, not justifying the way he charged, but posting a statistician Weibo related to the development of the game industry in the past 25 years.

He lists hundreds of games that have appeared in the past, each with a development date, release date, and the last time the game group or game company disbanded. Some can't be accurate to the day, some can't even be accurate to the month, but that's enough to express his intentions.

All companies or groups that no longer exist are marked in red, while the few surviving domestic companies are marked in black. But in fact, the whole picture actually shows the cruel scenery of the motherland.

At the same time as the remaining game groups and game companies, Lin Shu also turned to those companies that survived and turned to online games or other companies. Some official Weibo retweeted it, and some didn't.

But the influence is enough.

The subsequent reversal was naturally expected, and there was no dispute about the future engine for a long time, because the original data was transferred for free, and the fact that the original serial number became the engine serial number was quickly spread in the next few days. Lin Shu skillfully took advantage of this short-term misunderstanding and part of the concession, reversing the situation while brushing up on the favorability and topicality of the game group of only two people.

In addition to brushing the brand favorability, this turmoil also quickly sealed the mouths of some people to prevent the other party from attacking Lin Shu with the charging model anymore - because in essence, the new charging model created by Lin Shu actually has great profit prospects and is easy to attract attacks.

But Lin Shu took the initiative to create a flaw for himself, creating the illusion that it was possible to charge twice twice, attracting everyone's attacks. This has a lot of benefits for him - one of them is that after this attack is reversed, the person who is slapped in the face will then lose the position of attacking the future game group with the same arguments.

Sure enough, after this reversal, the sales model of the game platform, which was the easiest to attack, has attracted almost no criticism. First, because the pricing of the sales program actually seems to be relatively reasonable and cheap, and secondly, because in the previous fight, Lin Shu obviously had the upper hand in this regard, which inevitably made most attackers much more cautious.

And Yang Ziqi watched almost the entire fighting process.

In fact, from the launch of Lin Shu's platform, Yang Ziqi saw the subtle meaning from this design, but it was only a vague intention, and it was not very clear and mature.

He was also one of the first to buy and download all the activation codes on the platform and try out all the features. But in the process of trying, the shock of the whole engine to him was far greater than when he played "Three Kingdoms Ideal".

In particular, when he found that using the engine to make a game was not only simple enough for ordinary people to use, but could even be uploaded to the online platform for sale through the settings in the game.

The previous doubts about the exquisite Cheng Dù of the game "Three Kingdoms Ideal", and the incomprehension of Lin Shu's free upload of such a game, were all answered at this time.

As a large game company, even if Yang Ziqi is only the technical director, he can also be keenly aware of the role that such an engine and a platform can play, as well as the potential behind it.

Yang Ziqi finally realized that Lin Shu, who could only be called a child, was ambitious...... It's much bigger than I expected. From the very beginning, what he was trying to do was not to make a game profit, but to create an entire field.

That night, Yang Ziqi went to Beichen's boss at this time with the whole procedure, and after some discussion, the other party urgently convened Beichen's management at this time and held an impromptu meeting.

The meeting lasted less than an hour, and then Yang Ziqi left Binhai City and drove onto the highway to Huxi City.

Lin Shu, who had been observing the situation and planning the follow-up process the night before, had been planning late, and when he yawned downstairs the next morning, the first thing he saw was Yang Ziqi sitting in the living room of his house.

After seeing him go downstairs, Yang Ziqi only hurriedly exchanged a few words, and couldn't help but get to the point.

"Lin Shu, 20 million, buy "Three Kingdoms Ideal" and the engine that comes with it, as well as related technologies, are you willing to sell it?"

At that moment, to be honest, Lin Shu was a little stunned by Yang Ziqi's straightforward attitude.

Not only Lin Shu was stunned, but even Liang Yuehua was stunned. It's also thanks to Lin Jinhua's lazy personality and a night owl, he is still sleeping upstairs at this time, otherwise Lin Shu doesn't know what kind of reaction he Lin Jinhua will make.

After a while, he took the milk from Liang Yuehua's hand, sat down on the sofa, and then said to Yang Ziqi: "Mr. Yang, 20 million...... Not the lowest offer, right? ”

Lin Shu naturally understood in his heart that the value of this engine was far more than 20 million, not to mention the encryption technology and transmission technology involved in it. But he didn't think that Yang Ziqi also understood the true value of the engine and its related technologies.

Yang Ziqi may understand that such an engine and platform are very valuable, but unlike Lin Shu, he has more speculation and uncertainty about the future, which leads him to leave some leeway in the valuation of engines and platforms.

Yang Ziqi didn't expect Lin Shu to ask such a sentence, and he was stunned for a moment before he replied: "Actually, it is the highest offer that the company is willing to give." ”

"Give the highest offer at the beginning...... Mr. Yang, don't you leave some room for negotiations? Lin Shu asked with a smile.

Yang Ziqi was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't think it's meaningful. He paused before saying, "I'm not age-discriminate...... In fact, I think it should be a compliment. Lin Shu, you are not like those children I usually see, you are very smart, very smart, but I think you are only ten years old after all. 10-year-olds...... There is always something different from adults. ”

"So I'm not going to play adult with you," he said. Rather, I don't think that will work for you. Your world is different from ours after all, I've been through it so I know. I think you probably know a little bit about negotiation because you're a smart kid, but the more you do that, the less I think it's necessary. ”

Lin Shu understood what he meant. Yang Ziqi feels that even if a child knows the skills of negotiation, he will not recognize the meaning of negotiation itself. Because the child's world, at least in concept, must be straightforward. He doesn't necessarily agree with that.

And Lin Shu has always been relatively smart, so Yang Ziqi didn't think that coaxing at the end of the period could make much of a difference, and it would be bad if it backfired, so he gave up this practice from the beginning.

Lin Shu was silent for a while, but he laughed.

He wasn't really a child, but Yang Ziqi was right about one thing - no matter what kind of negotiation skills Yang Ziqi used on him, it was useless, although the reasons were not the same as Yang Ziqi thought.

He said slowly to Yang Ziqi: "Mr. Yang, although you may not understand this...... But I'm not going to sell my first game, my first project, for 20 million. ”

He didn't say that Yang's valuation was lower than his own valuation of trading platforms and crypto methods, because it didn't make sense to say that. He can't force people to look at the value at this time in ten or twenty years, that's not realistic. From this point of view, Yang Ziqi's valuation is high enough - it is estimated that most of it is because the engine is perfect, and they are currently unable to crack the encryption method used by Lin Shu, and realize that building such a platform is indispensable for such a strong encryption method.

Yang Ziqi listened to it, and he was indeed a little surprised. He thought for a moment, and then said to Lin Shu: "Lin Shu, one thing I must admit is that the engine you have built and the platform you are currently building may indeed be worth more than 20 million. But this true value is in fact an ideal form...... Because in the process of realizing this value, you still need to solve many problems - soon, not only Beichen, but more large companies will find the value of such a platform, and they have the financial resources, technology, and manpower...... I only speak from Beichen's standpoint, if we want to build a similar engine and a similar platform, we don't even need to spend 20 million. But we have far more influence, publicity, and operational capabilities than yours. ”

Lin Shu was unmoved, and said, "In that case, Mr. Yang, why don't you just spend 20 million to imitate an engine and platform?" ”

Yang Ziqi choked suddenly.

Lin Shu smiled, and without waiting for the other party's answer, he answered the question himself: "Everything you said is actually true. I don't have as much money, material, or manpower as you. But in fact, I have an advantage that you can't replace with all your financial, material, and human resources. ”

He smiled and said, "I have time." ”

"How long will it take you to build such a platform? Trimester? Six months? A year? No, it's not enough, because you don't have experience with such a type of system. You have to spend a lot of time preparing the project, designing the mechanics, calculating the numbers, and troubleshooting bugs, because you've never tried a system like this. Of course, because we already have our future system, you barely have an object to refer to, but I'm very confident in the encryption method I'm using, and even if it's not uncrackable, I don't think you can crack it anytime soon. ”

"And for me, that's the advantage."

When he walked out of the Lin family, Yang Ziqi was a little lost.

He felt that he had lived to a dog for the past twenty years.

If he hadn't lived on a dog, how could he have a moment when he felt that he was not as good as a child who was more than ten years younger than him? As a result, not only did he fail to convince Lin Shu, but the other party broke the core of this negotiation.

Then Yang Ziqi saw another child head-on.

At some point, there was another child standing at the door of the Lin family, who looked about the same age as Lin Shu, with handsome facial features, although not as beautiful as Lin Shu, but he could already see the handsome appearance in the future. His hair hangs down to his ears, which is often cut by children at this time, but it is not as regular as ordinary children, but it shows a bit of fashion and fashion.

Although he was young, he wore a very appropriate shirt, vest and suit trousers. In this already hot June, people always feel a subtle sense of disobedience.

Although Yang Ziqi was in a trance, he couldn't help but be stunned.

When the boy saw him coming out of the Lin family, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and looked at him with doubts in his eyes for a while.

Yang Ziqi thought about it and thought that it might be Lin Shu's classmate, so he didn't think much about it. It's just that after he got into the car, he casually swept his eyes in front of the door, but found that the other party had not yet pressed the doorbell, but one hand grabbed the hem of his vest, and he seemed to be very nervous, but he was stunned.

This kid looks very shy, completely different from Lin Shu, who has grown old to a terrible age at a young age, and he doesn't know how he became a friend.

Thinking like this, Yang Ziqi started the car.
