Chapter 256: Negotiation
Just as Lin Yu had previously envisioned, Smilegate is located on the second floor of a commercial building in Pangyo Technopark, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, which is exactly where it is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing outside the door, Lin Yu showed such an expression, in his memory, this studio was just developed a CF, and now it is indeed a small studio, and the kind of special interviews in later generations, it seems to have improved a lot of places There is a big difference, if you take a cursory look, it is only about two hundred square meters, and there are a lot of staff squeezed together, sitting in front of the computer one by one, and the computer is the design prototype of some tasks, it seems to be Swart?
Lin Yu vaguely remembered the prototype of the CF character, and there seemed to be a person named Swart, but after so many years, coupled with the rebirth, he almost forgot about it.
Of course, in the company, there was a slightly wealthy woman who walked around from time to time, stopped occasionally, and said something in front of the staff with an ear canal, without noticing Lin Yu and Qi Xue coming in, but Lin Yu and Qi Xue who walked in were noticed by many employees inside, and the woman saw that the employees were looking at the door of the studio, and then she was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Lin Yu and Qi Xue at the door, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
At this time, Qi Xue stood at the door, knocked on the door, smiled slightly, and said some Korean, which is nothing more than the meaning of taking the liberty of visiting and wanting to talk to you, this Lin Yu can guess even if he doesn't understand, after all, they met for the first time, and Lin Yu also said that this time it was a completely sudden visit, and he didn't call like the time he went to neople.
After a while, the woman walked out, looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled face, said a call, and then looked at Lin Yu suspiciously, and the international did not recognize Lin Yu and Qi Xue as foreigners for a while.
Lin Yu was stunned, his mouth was almost as open as an egg, and he paused for a few seconds before squeezing out a paragraph from his mouth: "I'm sorry, I only understood Smecta ......"
Qi Xue was also stunned for a moment next to her, and then explained with black lines: "Lin Yu, what did she say you came for?" ”
"Oh, okay...... Lin Yu coughed dryly, "I want to know what your studio is doing now, maybe invest in it, can you let me see the progress of your research and development before that?" ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment under Qi Xue's translation, looked at Lin Yu with a strange look for a while, and then stretched out her hand, Lin Yu smiled and shook hands with the woman, and then Lin Yu exchanged names with the eldest sister in front of her, who was obviously older than her, and then also knew the woman's name, Zhang Ren'e.
After a while, after knowing Lin Yu's coming, Zhang Ren'e nodded, and after a while, she led Lin Yu and Qi Xue over, after the two of them had a rough visit inside, Lin Yu also subconsciously exhaled in his heart, sure enough, even if this game is currently in the first birthplace of smilegate, it has only made preliminary progress, and then there is no substantial breakthrough stage, Lin Yu came a little early, of course, it is not too early, because after a few months, The model of this game, as well as some copywriting, have come out, and the preparation is quite sufficient, and it is only the investment of funds and time left.
"I have to say, this game imitates CS, but it adds a lot of skin gun creativity to it, and the map design is quite good......" Lin Yu looked at the design copy and information of the smilegate company next to him, muttering to himself, it's not that he knew the situation and still said it on purpose, when he really came to visit the smilegate headquarters, he still had a little amazing expression, this game is now just a rough creation of a bone, and the flesh and blood in him still need to be filled in.
Zhang Ren'e spoke, and Qi Xue translated to Lin Yu at the same time: "This is our preliminary plan, you can see, this is the most important map we designed." ”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, the screen on the computer cut the screen, and a map suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yu's eyes, Lin Yu was stunned, and suddenly a lot of nostalgia flashed in his heart.
Transport ship, that's right, this is the map that Zhang Ren'e cut to herself.
The transport ship can be said to be a sentimental map for many novice players, although Lin Yu is not a CF fan, and he has not recharged a penny in it, what is even more strange is that Lin Yu's favorite gun is not M4A1, not AK47, not to mention the an94 that has been criticized by many players but is really sharp to use, but M60 and M16 These two guns, the former have enough ammunition and look very happy, and the latter is simply like the appearance, that's all, unlike most players.
Of course, at that time, the people who played games around me naturally didn't understand Lin Yu's hobby, for most players, the mainstream of rifles is still M4A1 and AK47, Lin Yu's preferences are indeed out of the cognition of the majority of gamers, after all, M16 looks quite good-looking, but it has a characteristic, that is, there is no stable trajectory, with M16 headshots completely rely on luck, and the sound is a bit weak, compared to the very famous M4A1, M16 is indeed a lot weaker, Of course, it is also a weapon for many great gods to abuse novices, and it is often unpleasant to use.
Lin Yu, who is blind in this game, is naturally not a great god, after all, the strongest bronze five player, that kind of picture sense, just thinking about it can come to you, not to mention the rookie version of the operation, the number of deaths in a game is not twice the number of kills Lin Yu is supernormal.
And in the map ranking with the highest appearance rate, in addition to the transport ship that dominates the team competition, there is also the classic blasting map in the CF has also been developed, which is also one of the first attraction maps to come out, such as desert gray, black towns, satellite bases and power supply stations, etc., these are maps with a high appearance rate, although Lin Yu doesn't play this game much, but compared to DNF, CF can also be regarded as a game to solve problems when you are bored, It's a pity that in the era when RMB guns were everywhere in later generations, there were also a lot of CF's true love fans, and there were also a lot of CF local tyrant fans, and it was those local tyrant fans who made this game that was not too popular to become one of the top few domestic online games.
So that even if the CF is not as lonely as before in the future, there are still many people playing, and even more so, there are four or five million fans discussing it every day, and the CF mobile games and so on in the back have also attracted many players, of course, this is also a later story.
After talking about firearms, there are naturally various modes, such as team mode, blasting mode, biochemical mode, annihilation mode, challenge mode, etc., the current CF is in a state of just development, only the team mode and the blasting mode are the two initial copywriting, and the others naturally flashed in Lin Yu's mind, not that Qi Xue translated it for him, mainly after seeing a classic map of the blasting mode, Lin Yu felt it in his heart.
The above is all Lin Yu's knowledge of CF, and in his highest military rank, it is only the third corporal, and it can be seen from here that Lin Yu does not play much of this game, and it is already a good memory to remember so much.
……
……
stayed at the smilegate headquarters for an afternoon, Lin Yu was almost negotiating with Zhang Ren'e all afternoon, and then Qi Xue acted as a translator, sometimes stuck, it seemed that Zhang Ren'e had to say it again at this time, and then Qi Xue apologized again and again, Lin Yu naturally didn't mind much.
Then, Lin Yu said his original intention to buy this game under Qi Xue's strange gaze, and what Lin Yu wanted to buy was all the copyrights of this game after it was developed, all.
After learning of Lin Yu's intentions, Zhang Ren'e frowned, first directly rejected Lin Yu's words, and then tentatively asked how much money he wanted to buy their ideas under Lin Yu's wry expression.
The next day, Lin Yu went there again, and after a day of anxious negotiations, the two sides were compressed from the initial 5 million yuan to 4 million yuan by Lin Yu, and finally, the transaction price of 3.5 million yuan was finally finalized, which is 590 million won when converted into Korean won, a very frightening figure.
At that time last year, Lin Yu spent more than 10 million yuan on DNF, which seemed to be much more expensive than CF's side?
Of course, no matter how much money it is, smilegate must have made a profit, and it is a big profit.
Cheap is inevitable, because at this time, what Lin Yu wants is just a simple preliminary game file, as well as some basic things such as copywriting and setting character models, and you don't need to go through the next development and research, and directly buy a semi-finished product at one time, that's all.
Although a condition has been added to the research and development, but the kind that has been developed, it is estimated that it will not be perfected, real things, such as various skin guns, servers and various modes, guns, etc., have to be dealt with by Lin Yu in China one by one, this is a very troublesome thing, and it is very different from the documents handed over to them by Neople in November last year, which is the real reason for the price gap.
And Lin Yu also asked Mingyu in advance, a person who is more experienced in the development of this kind of game, according to the kind of scene described by Lin Yu, excluding the server, the cost of making such a gunfight online game is about one million, that's all, the game is expensive, not to mention the server, the main thing is to repair it, and the next series of innovative investments have been developed and publicized before the public beta, as far as the two or three million mentioned earlier, it is already a lot of budget plan, Lin Yu's original plan, In fact, it is between two million and three million, but who would know that Zhang Ren'e will bite and not let go?
Not to mention, the 3.5 million finalized by Lin Yu is just a game with three simple modules: team mode, blasting mode, and challenge mode?
As for the other annihilation modes, biochemical modes, etc., in his mind, Lin Yu had to go back and reinvest in research and development.
Just such a template and some copywriting can sell for 3.5 million yuan, and they have already earned at least two to ten times!
Soon after the negotiation, the two parties signed a contract, the contract stipulates that three months later, that is, in October, smilegate will pay the game software and copywriting on time, and Lin Yu will pay the full amount at that time, and Lin Yu needs to pay a deposit of two million in advance, seeing these regulations on the contract, after pondering several times, Lin Yu finally signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Lin Yu let out a long breath, he knew that it would still be a trouble after the documents were returned after three months, but it didn't matter, for him, the memory in his mind was enough, what s, a, b, what red dragon, yao dragon, black dragon, war dragon, what purple rose, blue and white porcelain, etc., all kinds of skin guns that sound tall as soon as they sound, nothing more than having an appearance model, a silencer, and then putting those skins on it, and then putting the skin gun in the game store to sell it, Lin Yu is not worried about this, because this is the task of the next game developer, and what Lin Yu has to do is to tell them this concept, that's all.
After signing the contract, Lin Yu has been in South Korea for about three days, and on the afternoon of the third day, Lin Yu went directly to Incheon Airport.
……
……
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, Qi Xue kept staring at him all the way, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Aren't you afraid that those things were bought for nothing? I don't think those copywriters are worth much, but I didn't expect you to spend three and a half million to buy it, it's just ......" Under Lin Yu's puzzled gaze, Qi Xue sighed with a wry smile, "It's just that there is no place to spend it." ”
Lin Yu shook his head: "You can't look at its surface value, its creativity is at least very good, what I bought is its creativity, as for the copywriting you said, those are also important, but compared to creativity, it is really not too important." ”
It is estimated that when Zhang Ren'e knew that CF would attract a large number of local tyrant fans in China, she would definitely regret selling the copyright of the game for 600 million won, right?
If it weren't for the fact that Mingyu Company didn't have the ability to develop an online game and those talents, Lin Yu wouldn't have gone there at all...... But think about it, if it was before this, his idea was really good, but after today, maybe he would get those things in his memory out, maybe he would really get involved in the lawsuit over South Korea's smilegate, after all, it was already under development, and when the hacker stole other people's related copywriting, etc., it would also make Lin Yu famous soon, and this way of spending money to buy is the safest......
"Well, good luck."
Qi Xue smiled, but she became more and more curious about Lin Yu in her heart, what gave him confidence? (To be continued.) )
