Chapter 13: Finally Sold

Li Ming shook his head and sighed: "The position given to you by the Villefort Company is only valid for this year. Next year, even if you can go to the United States, you may only get the treatment of a college intern. You really have to think clearly, information technology is changing with each passing day, and maybe by the time you wake up, your technology and ideas are outdated. ”

"I understand." Wang lived up to the blue sky outside the window, which was a rare sight compared to 14 years later.

It's really time to wait. "It is precisely because my skills and ideas will soon be caught up by European and American masters that I should cherish the short time now. Do what I've wanted to do for a long time. ”

He knows that the exhibition of the European and American game industry can be described as changing with each passing day, while the dying domestic game will completely die out in a few years. If you don't hurry up in the past few years, there is really no hope of turning over.

"It seems that I have no way to convince Mr. Wang. But I hope you'll think about it. With Frenzy in front of you, and with a resume at Villefort, you can even find investors yourself a few years later. You can still do what you want to do at that time, and you can still have resources that you can't imagine now, with less risk. I only understood these things when I joined Villefort. Li Ming said.

Wang Buyi nodded, indicating that he understood. But his heart did not waver in the slightest.

The terminal of the airport shuttle bus is in the city center. Li Ming took a casual look and decided to stay in a luxury hotel with the highest floor from the outside.

Wang Buyi went back to pick up Xia Ci from school, and then went home to get the full version of "Frenzy" and the game engine, and came back to talk about business in the evening.

……

At night. Wang went to the hotel as promised. The three men of Villefort seemed to be unable to wait.

Li Ming loaded the full version of Frenzy into his laptop to check the game's completion.

And Wang Buyi took the contract documents handed over by the legal commissioner and looked at them, and after a glance, he couldn't resist.

The dense small characters on it hurt my eyes to see, and a word is often composed of more than a dozen letters, and the grammar is extremely cumbersome. Wang Bu knew that European and American legal documents were known for being obscure, but he didn't expect to be so cheating. But there is no way, I can only stare at it with big eyes.

The acquisition contract for "Madness" is based on the fact that "Rush" can sell 500,000 copies by the end of this fiscal year, and the remuneration is calculated using a complex formula. That's $280,000, which is a lot more than the price previously reported on MSN.

After paying $280,000, Villefort will receive not only the finished game of Frenzy, but also the brand of Frenzy. If a game can sell millions of copies, the value of its derivatives is amazing, and at least the sequel's ability to attract money is very strong.

"Mr. Wang, what is more important in this full version than the update of the O.5 version?" Li Ming asked.

"The number of NPCs has increased to 1oo. Added weapon parts integration system, which allows you to customize the attributes of firearms. Basically all the elements of the game are enriched. Wang said.

Li Ming still has to make his own judgment. He played in Frenzy for a while, then quit the game, saying, "The degree of completion is very high, as long as you fix the text a little more, you can sell it directly." ”

"Something about the contract." "I don't have a problem with most of the terms. There is only one thing, I want to keep the rights to operate "Frenzy" in China. ”

Li Ming looked at Wang Buyi strangely. As a senior executive at Villefort, he probably knows the game sales figures in various markets around the world. For example, "Half-Life", a sci-fi masterpiece that has been a global hit, has sold 3 million copies in the United States in the past two years, allowing Villefort to become a god in the first battle. But in China, less than 10,000 units were sold.

Li Ming doesn't care about ceding the Chinese operation rights of "Crazy Tide" to Wang Buful, and he won't make money anyway. But he is not the boss and can't make this decision on his own, so Huo contacted the founders of the two companies in the United States to report Wang's thoughts.

"It doesn't matter." The two founders didn't care about this kind of thing, as long as they could get the game down quickly. They have been stimulated by the number of downloads of the O.5 version of "Frenzy" in the past few days. Each hour of growth increases by a thousand. This was such a sight as never before that it was so popular that even the British and French partners knew about it and began to order copies of the game from them.

"They agreed." Li Ming asked the legal commissioner to amend the contract and give up the right to operate in China.

The king lived up to his joy. In this way, after the security software is launched to attract enough users, it is possible to launch the quality-assured "Frenzy" directly.

"Now, let's talk about game engines." Li Ming said.

"I'm not going to sell the engine. After all, selling a golden egg is two completely different things from selling a goose that can lay golden eggs. Wang had already thought about it, and said: "But I'm willing to share it, and I don't need money, as long as you exchange it for the Chinese operation rights of Counter-Strike." ”

This was a condition for the king, and he believed that Villefort would accept it with pleasure.

The role of a game engine is crucial to a game. Because in essence, the game is actually the embodiment of the inner situation of the creator on the screen. A good engine can make the process more perfect. It's like painting with ink, which is always more realistic than drawing with crayons.

14 years later, when foreign manufacturers used next-generation engines such as "Frost", "Unreal", and "e" to make games, domestic manufacturers actually used the engines used to make mobile games for stand-alone games. Even if the domestic producer Long Aotian is possessed, it is impossible to produce a masterpiece with quality comparable to that of foreign countries.

The GO1DSRC engine used by Wang to make Frenzy was originally born in the 9o. Two of Villefort's producers modified it and used it to make Half-Life. As a result of Villefort's continuous improvements, the final official title was CS1.6. At this point, the engine is beyond change, and even the last trace of potential has been squeezed out.

"Villefort got this engine, so he should be able to start working on Half-Life 2 directly, right? If you can release Half-Life 2 next year, maybe Villefort will become the king of video games. Wang said with a smile.

As far as he knows, after the sale of the acclaimed and popular "Half-Life", the Villefort company has been trying to take advantage of the victory and open a sequel to consolidate the market. But at this time, the shortcomings of Villefort's heritage were exposed, and it was always one step behind, and it was impossible to guarantee the formation of a quality advantage over competing products.

It wasn't until CS1.6 had run the road that Villefort made up his mind to abandon the GO1DSRC engine in favor of the "Origin" engine. This is when "Half-Life 2" was finally launched.

Although "Half-Life 2", which came out six years after a gap of six years from its predecessor, is still a big hit, Wang lives up to his belief that if the sequel can appear in advance, then the sales will be even more popular.

As Wang Bucheng guessed, the two founders of Villefort are also anxious about the start of "Half-Life 2". Just like "Frenzy" is worthy of the king, the "Half-Life" series is also the embodiment of the dream of the two, and they want to use all resources to achieve it.

After Li Ming's report, the two founders of Villefort made a unanimous decision almost without thinking about it - to exchange the unprofitable operation rights of "Counter-Strike" in China for the go1dsrc engine, which has been improved to the extreme, and immediately start working on "Half-Life 2".

So far, in the hands of Wang Buful, he has "Tide" with amazing potential, and "Counter-Strike", which is about to become popular all over the country. There is also a faux Diablo ARPG game of no less quality than both.

With three good cards in hand, it's up to him to play next.

Villefort is a new company, Wang is a personal producer, there is no such cumbersome thing as a big company transaction, and it has been decided in one night.

As for the $280,000, Wang did not ask for the equivalent amount to be converted. When the bank opens tomorrow, Villefort's finances will go to the bank to exchange, and then the transaction will be completed.

Several people didn't know anything about this kind of cross-border acquisition, and it took a busy day on Wednesday to get it done, and Wang Buyi finally got the banknotes of two suitcases.

After living so big, it was the first time he had seen so much money.

A full 2.24 million RMB. If you go to Shanghai to buy a house, buy and sell, sell and buy, and make money back and forth, how can you become a billionaire in 14 years?

Wang did not live up to the secret smile, he was actually moved. That's not going to work. If people live without dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?

But first, keep your promises. He bought two catties of pork ribs that afternoon and made sweet and sour pork ribs for Xia Ci.

Then Xia Ci ate again......

……

On Thursday morning, Wang did not bear to send Xia Ci to school again, as usual.

The first three days were all time, Xia Ci would take the initiative to dress up, and then pull Wang Buyi out of the house, but today I don't know what's wrong, I went to the bathroom after breakfast, and I haven't come out yet.

"Porcelain? It's going to be late. Wang Buyi shouted while carrying Xia Ci's schoolbag.

After shouting twice, Xia Ci came out, she pulled her face and asked worriedly, "Am I corrupted by unspeakable evil?" Damn, I was careless when I summoned the Guardian Spirit, I must have been corrupted when I was at school. ”

Wang Bucheng is used to it, looking at Xia Ci's appearance, he knows that the little girl is worried about gaining weight, "If you eat fat now, you can grow taller, and then lose weight when you are 18 years old, and when you are thin and tall, you will be very beautiful." ”

This is actually nonsense, because girls are fat and fat first, and lose weight first and lose breasts......

Although Xia Ci has a strange way of thinking, she still has the nature of a girl, and she pinched her cheeks repeatedly and worriedly, comparing the weight of her face in the palm of her hand, which will be used as a comparison in the future.

"Don't pinch it, it's all red." The king took her hand away. The complexion of Xia porcelain is the same as porcelain, and at this time there are a few red halos, which is particularly delicate.

"It's okay to steam an egg tonight. Something too tasty will reduce my magic resistance. Xia Ci said.

"Okay." Wang did not live up to the nod in agreement.
