Chapter 121: Starry Night Game Studio
"I'm tired, I've been spinning fifteen or sixteen hours a day for the past few days, and my skin is getting rougher, Haoyu, how can you compensate me?" Li Yayan looked at Li Haoyu with resentment and said, there are too many companies that have come to Mythical Company to negotiate and act as an agent for more than a week, and Li Yayan, as the president, is inevitably very tired. Li Haoyu is still his hands-off shopkeeper as always, and basically nothing else has been involved except for meeting with the CEOs of several large game companies, no wonder Li Yayan has complaints.
Li Haoyu thought for a while and said seriously: "Sister, let's do it, how about I compensate Brother Dong to you and let him make a promise?" ”
Li Yayan laughed, spat and said: "Lin Zhendong was originally an old lady, Haoyu, you are so bold, I don't dare to beat you if I think Yuqing will help you!" ”
Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Sister, when I went back not long ago, my second aunt specially asked you why you have been single, guess how I answered?" Li Haoyu had to sacrifice this trick, Li Yayan was always helpless every time she faced this trick, and it was worth losing obediently.
Li Yayan glared at him and said, "I want you to take care of it!" ”
Li Haoyu continued: "Sister, there are still two months to go before the Spring Festival, are you going to take Brother Dong back to meet your parents?" ”
Li Yayan said angrily: "Li Haoyu, are you tired of being alive, and you are also here to take care of my affairs?" ”
Li Haoyu saw that Li Yayan was really angry, and hurriedly returned to the topic, "Sister, how many countries have we finalized in the past few days?" ”
"There are more than 20 countries and regions that want to represent Lingyun Sword, and there are seven or eight game companies in South Korea and the United States that need to get our agency, so the competition is very fierce. We've only identified a few countries where the competition isn't fierce, and the total value of the contract is about $800 million, plus the share is about $100 million or $200 million per year. ”
Li Haoyu gasped, the game of Lingyun Sword has made so much money just a part of overseas agents, if all the countries and regions that are intended to be agents are implemented, wouldn't it be possible to earn two billion dollars in agency fees? And that's not counting the price of the share, which would be even more terrifying if you added it.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not too unexpected, the game of Lingyun Sword is currently the first mature social martial arts game in the world, just this can attract the attention of many players, so those game companies must have added a lot of price codes to get the agency in order to get the agency in order to stably get the agency.
All this is cheaper than Mythical Company, you must know that the development cost of the game Lingyun Sword is almost zero, except for a small amount of publicity expenses, the rest is pure profit.
This can be said to be faster than the speed at which money printing machines can print money.
Li Haoyu asked with interest: "Then what other countries and regions have not yet finalized the agency?" ”
Li Yayan said: "The main thing is that South Korea, Taiwan, the United States, France and the United Kingdom have not determined the agency, they have at least three or four companies in each region competing for the agency, Ling Wei means let them bid by themselves, and wait until they feel that they have reached the limit, and then we will determine which company the agency will ultimately belong to according to the actual situation." ”
Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Sister Ling Wei is really powerful, this trick may be able to earn us an extra one or two hundred million dollars." By the way, when will Sister Ling Wei and Brother Guangzhe get married? ”
It has been almost half a year since Yang Guangzhe was transferred to Shancheng, and Wang Lingwei has moved to Yang Guangzhe's dormitory, but she has not heard that they have any plans to get married. Both of them are twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young people, especially Wang Lingwei, I am afraid that she will really become a "leftover girl" in two years.
Li Yayan said: "The two of them have already received the certificate and plan to hold a wedding during the Spring Festival holiday. Said with a smile to Li Haoyu: "Haoyu, if it weren't for you, an unscrupulous capitalist, who have been squeezing Ling Wei's maximum value, and Ling Wei has never been available, the two of them would have been married a long time ago." ”
Li Haoyu is embarrassed, it turns out that this is also related to himself!
"Ding! The Aurora game engine has been fixed! ”
At this time, Xiaoyu's voice suddenly sounded in Li Haoyu's mind, and he suddenly perked up and said, "Sister, I have to go back beforehand, so I won't disturb you and continue to work." Without waiting for Li Yayan to answer, she trotted all the way back to her office.
After turning on the computer and connecting the super game editor with the computer, Li Haoyu said: "Import the Aurora game engine into the computer." ”
"Roger, importing the Aurora game engine, the import is successful!"
This Aurora game engine is the old antique game engine that Yang Guangzhe had kept when he was in Yanjing when he was originally working in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and because there was no company to ask for it, it was sold to Li Haoyu for 500,000 yuan. After Xiaoyu made the game Lingyun Sword, Li Haoyu immediately asked her to start revising the game engine and named it "Aurora Game Engine".
Looking at the extremely complex graphics code in the computer, Li Haoyu gave up himself to compare what had happened to the corrected Aurora game engine after Xiaoyu, and said: "Xiaoyu, what has changed in the revised Aurora game engine?" ”
Xiaoyu said: "Because the Aurora game engine was originally too many bugs, so basically all of them have been modified, and the current effect of this game engine is about 10% more than the frost 3.0 engine, which can be used as both an online game and a stand-alone game." ”
Li Haoyu exhaled, the previous game engine in a semi-scrapped state was corrected by Xiaoyu, and it was immediately three points more powerful than the current best game engine. However, Li Haoyu did not plan to use this game engine in his own company, he planned to sell this engine to other game companies to make a large amount of money.
After copying this Aurora game engine into a mobile hard drive, Li Haoyu took this mobile hard drive to the 12th floor, which is full of game talents he dug up in the United States two months ago, and after reorganization, a studio was formed, called Starry Night Studio, mainly responsible for making stand-alone games.
In this way, Mythical Company has three game studios in the eyes of outsiders, one is the most mysterious Mythical Studio, and the other two are Xishanju and the newly established Starry Night Studio, and the strength of game development is already one of the best in the Chinese game industry.
"Hi Randy, how are you doing in Huaxia?" Coming to the Randy group in Starry Night Studio, which is in charge of the engine part, Li Haoyu greeted Randy warmly.
Randy said excitedly: "I like Huaxia very much, especially since the game engine you gave us last time has finally let them master it all, and that Oak guy has already started to make an epoch-making game with that engine." ”
Oak is the number one person at Starry Nights, he isn't the best at craft, but he's a good co-ordinator and has a unique understanding of all aspects of game production, and the rest of the studio is more convinced.
Li Haoyu took out the mobile hard drive and handed it to Randy and said, "Randy, this is a new game engine, you are an expert in this area, can you see how this engine is?" ”
When Randy heard that there was a new game engine, his eyes immediately lit up, and he snatched the mobile hard drive from Li Haoyu's hand, and after plugging it into the computer interface, he took a closer look at this detailed game engine.
"God, it's unbelievable!"
The more Randy looked at it, the more surprised he became, although the game engine that Li Haoyu came up with was not as good as the one handed to them last time, but it was also better than the frost engine, I really don't know where this mysterious Chinese young man got it.
"Randy, what the hell are you calling here!" A white Western man about thirty years old walked over, he was the head of Starry Night Studio, Oak, saw Li Haoyu and nodded: "Boss, why are you here?" ”
Li Haoyu said: "I just got a new game engine, and I want Randy to help me identify it." ”
Randy said excitedly at this time: "Boss, this game engine you brought is really amazing, if it weren't for the fact that Oak guy used a better engine than it, I must strongly recommend replacing the game engine!" ”
Li Haoyu asked: "If we open this game engine, I wonder if other game companies will be interested?" ”
"Those game companies must have a brain problem if they don't buy some words!" Randy concluded, "This game engine is even better than the Frost Engine, and it can also be used for online games, and the games made with it are not only more beautiful than those made with other engines, but also have great optimization features, and now the mainstream computer configuration can turn on most of the special effects!" ”
Oak heard the door and said with a smile: "Boss, maybe just this engine can bring hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to the company!" ”
Li Haoyu was relieved, turned his head and asked Oak: "Oak, what kind of game does your studio plan to make?" ”
Oak said: "Boss, what we are currently planning to make is a large-scale action single-player game, a game similar to Assassin's Creed, which will be temporarily named ADK. I believe that with the engine provided by you, boss, our game will definitely be able to sell well! ”
After a pause, Oak said embarrassedly: "However, to develop a large-scale game, we still have far from enough manpower in our studio, and the boss hopes that you can recruit more people." ”
Although the stand-alone game industry has collapsed because of rampant piracy in China, most of the stand-alone game companies or departments such as Daewoo and Xishanju have transformed into online games, but the main market for stand-alone games is in Europe and the United States, Li Haoyu believes that with the game engine of Lingyun Sword, it is not a big problem to make a stand-alone game that sells tens of millions of copies.
"Oak, you first contact your friends who make games, and see if they are willing to work in Huaxia, and the salary will refer to you. If I don't have enough manpower, I'll dig people back! Li Haoyu made a decision with a wave of his hand.
