The weather was a good one, probably because it had been raining for several days in a row, and it had been falling intermittently for several days.

The sky is clear and blue, and even the heat at the end of August has been washed away a little, and the air has a hint of sweetness.

But Liu Shanshi just couldn't raise his interest, let alone be happy, so he took a car to Zhongzhou No. 7 Middle School, and finally found the Beijing-style fried sauce noodle restaurant that Qi Ming said.

He was deliberately half an hour late, and when he just came up at twelve o'clock, he saw Qi Ming already sitting there as soon as he entered the noodle restaurant.

I ordered a big bowl of jajangmyeon and was sitting there, eating with my head down, the corners of my mouth full of oil.

"I got up late in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat, so I ordered a bowl to eat first." Qi Ming sneered.

At this time, seeing Liu Shanshi walking in, his face was dejected and lazy, no different from frosted eggplant, Qi Ming glanced up, and said politely, "Our Zhongzhou is not as good as Dijing, and it is not easy to find a bowl of fried noodles with reasonable sauce, but this noodle restaurant, I went to school for three years, and I have eaten it for three years, and the taste is not too authentic, at least I feel that I can enter your mouth." ”

While talking, Qi Ming called a middle-aged waitress and asked Liu Shanshi for a bowl of fried noodles. Then I took the menu and asked for several dishes in one go.

There are two cold dishes, two hot dishes, and two large sea bowls of fried noodles. In addition, Qi Ming asked for four bottles of beer.

"Actually, there's no need to be so polite, just find a place." Liu Shanshi just picked up a cold beer, intending to take a sip to moisten his throat first.

As a result, Qi Ming took the initiative to pick up the beer cup, stretched out to Liu Shanshi's cup without saying anything, and touched a glass with him first.

"Actually, I've known each other for so long, and I really haven't had a good meal together." After speaking, Qi Ming first dried the beer in his cup.

Liu Shanshi sneered, he didn't plan to give Qi Ming face, he drank a third of a glass of wine and put it aside.

"If you want to say polite words, then you don't have to, I didn't come all the way to listen to your cheap words."

Qi Ming poured wine and filled him up, "I'm not just trying to get close to you, this meal should have been arranged a long time ago, and it can be regarded as my friendship as a landlord, but we are busy with each other, so I really don't care about it." ”

Liu Shanshi took a pair of chopsticks and salad pig ears, put them in his mouth and crunched them and wrapped them, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Boss Liu should have made a lot of money recently, right?" Qi Ming put a mouthful of fried noodles into his mouth, and the end of the noodles was thrown around the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were all covered with fried sauce.

"Heh, it's worse than your Counter-Strike." Liu Shanshi snorted coldly.

"I can't do it, I'm just a student, whether it's cracking games or developing game mods, it's just to earn a vote and leave." Qi Ming picked up the napel and wiped his mouth.

After speaking, Qi Ming took out a nephrite stream and handed it to Liu Shanshi, regardless of whether he took it or not, he put it in front of the other party anyway. Then Qi Ming took out the lighter and lit it in his hand.

A puff of smoke came out, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Ming's body was filled with smoke.

"Has Boss Liu watched the mods of Counter-Strike? Comments? ”

Liu Shanshi said angrily, "Now half of the computer rooms in Zhongshi City are fully loaded with your games, do you need my opinion?" ”

"My son, although I have a lot of money, I have no interest in snatching leftovers from other people's mouths." As soon as he mentioned this, Liu Shanshi became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but slap the table, "But one yard is one yard, we said at the beginning, you will never interfere in selling "Half-Life". ”

Qi Ming said nonchalantly: "I'm selling "Counter-Strike". ”

If it weren't for the waiter bringing the fried noodles at this time, Liu Shanshi would almost have flipped the table.

Listen to this human talk?

"Is Boss Liu interested in Counter-Strike?" As soon as he slapped someone, Qi Ming hurriedly handed over another sweet date.

Maybe he guessed the matter of Qi Ming's meeting before he came, but Liu Shanshi was very calm. Holding chopsticks and stirring the fried noodles in front of him weakly, he didn't respond positively to Qi Ming's words, but just muttered, "What the hell, if you want toon sprouts without toon sprouts, you want green beans without green bean mouths." Sprinkle a few half-dead mung bean sprouts and the beauty in your heart, and I'm embarrassed to call this fried noodles. It's far worse than the small bowl we make at home. ”

Qi Ming smiled and said, "I have to report to the university in two days, I really don't have the heart to focus on this." What's more, I'm a student, how much appetite I can have, I can't chew too much, and then I will burst my belly. ”

Liu Shanshi continued to sneer: "There is still something you can't eat, don't you have a big appetite?" ”

Boss Liu didn't eat fried noodles without a few bites, in the final analysis, his mind was still on "Counter-Strike". He looked at Qi Ming and said, "How much did your encrypted Counter-Strike sold?" ”

"Not much." Qi Ming sneered: "There are more than a hundred nods." ”

When Liu Shanshi heard this, his heart was cold, and he picked up the wine glass and poured it into his stomach.

Then he wiped his mouth and burped and said, he didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that the market in Zhongzhou is so big, it would be good to have a hundred computer rooms. Qi Ming sold more than 100 copies, which was basically equivalent to being digested by the entire Zhongzhou market.

Just when Liu Shanshi was depressed in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm and calm, Qi Ming said faintly on the side: "Although Zhongzhou is so big, there is not only one Zhongzhou City in the world. ”

After saying a sentence, it was obvious that Liu Shanshi's eyes lit up a little. He raised his head and looked at Qi Ming. It happened that across the dinner table, Qi Ming was also looking at himself playfully.

The moment they looked at each other, Liu Shanshi finally understood that the meal that Qi Ming arranged today was probably not for nothing.

In fact, Liu Shanshi had already calculated before he came, whether it was the first six cracked games, in the final analysis, it just gave the market a taste of sweetness, and the real hard dish had to be the game mod of "Counter-Strike". This can be felt from the fact that the computer labs on the market are full and overcrowded.

Among the shooting games, "Counter-Strike" is definitely not the originator, and then there are "Return to Wolfenstein" and "Thor's Hammer".

But why it hasn't been popularized is not because the market is immature. High-end players have been exposed, but it does not mean that low-end players can accept it.

As soon as Qi Ming's "Counter-Strike" appeared, it was tantamount to opening up the entire online game market.

"You go on, I want to hear your thoughts." In the final analysis, there is no hatred, only profit.

"I'll sell you the game and the key in a package, and the price can be negotiated. I said that I only intended to make a quick buck from the beginning, so I didn't bother to run a business. But Boss Liu, you are different, you have someone with technology, and the key is resources. This game is in your hands, and it must be more profitable than mine. ”

After speaking, Qi Ming lit a cigarette and gave it to Liu Shanshi.

When thinking about problems and making decisions, shouldn't you take a risk?

With a click, Liu Shanshi took the lighter, lit the nephrite stream handed over by Qi Ming, and took a sharp sip, weighing the pros and cons on the balance in his heart.

Qi Ming lightly exhaled the smoke and chased after him: "Boss Liu, I'll give you fifteen minutes to think about it." Can you think about what the computer labs in the country will be like in the next half a month? ”

Four bottles of beer at noon and two bowls of not so authentic fried noodles in his stomach, Liu Shanshi finally understood the meaning of this meal. Qi Ming said so much before daring to love, the two of them talked about it for noon like playing Tai Chi, and Qi Ming was waiting for him here.

Qi Ming smoked silently, and he could feel it between the clouds and the mist, and time was passing little by little. Calmness and peace are by no means disguises, but come from inner certainty.

On the one hand, he knew the value of "Counter-Strike" in his hand, and he could sell it to Zhao Shanshi and Wang Shanshi without selling it to Liu Shanshi.

The second is that Liu Shanshi is already a little difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and if he gives up "Counter-Strike", then he can only return to the imperial capital with the little money he earns.

After all, he has been busy for more than a month, and in the end he didn't let himself live a life of getting rich overnight, and he and Su Feifei had to live in Shijingshan when he went back. After all, the little money he earned couldn't make him squeeze into the fourth ring at all, what a big psychological gap it was.

Of course, Qi Ming is also in a hurry to make a move, on the one hand, he knows that cracking the game doesn't seem to be fast. But in fact, it's a quagmire, and now I'm stuck in my ankle at most, but when other domestic cracking masters start to get involved in this field, the profits will be less and less, and it will be difficult for me to get out.

The ranger in later generations.,Wanderer and 3DM,These three fight to the death to crack the game.,Aren't the two gangs of people who are tired of sinicization and cracking?。 After the market is saturated,Most young players begin to have the consciousness of playing genuine games again.,At that time, cracking and sinicization is really generating electricity with love.。

Time passed minute by minute, and the cigarette in Liu Shanshi's hand did not stop, smoking one after another.

When the third one was drawn, he had already made a decision in his mind.

"Tell me a price."

"I don't want much, that's the number." Qi Ming said and crossed his hands in front of Liu Shanshi.

Compared with Qi Ming's sky-high asking price before, suddenly Liu Shanshi felt that his heart didn't hurt so much. Because it's really a price point that is acceptable to both parties. Qi Ming opened his mouth for 100,000 yuan, obviously not planning to let himself work in vain for more than a month, not only retaining the profits, but also giving face, which can be regarded as doing things absolutely well.

What's more, the market value of this game far exceeds this number, as long as it is promoted externally with Dijing as the center, it will not take him more than 100,000 yuan in a month, and it will not be a problem to even multiply it several times.

"Reasonable, come with me to the bank, and I'll withdraw the money for you." Liu Shanshi said.

...

A few days before he came to see Liu Shanshi, Qi Ming applied for a bank card for himself. The previous 20,000 yuan was deposited in it, and now Liu Shanshi happily transferred another 100,000 yuan to the card.

It's a pity that the bank didn't have an app that year, otherwise looking at the six digits on it, it should still be a very fulfilling thing. It's no wonder that it is said that people did business twenty years ago, and it was almost a barbaric operation, and it was indeed a quick way to make money.

In fact, Liu Shanshi gave money so quickly, Qi Ming was not surprised at all, and there was not too much psychological gap. He also wanted to ask for 1.8 million in one go, but Liu Shanshi couldn't take it out at all.

A few days before he came, Qi Ming actually calculated that according to the current holding rate of the six games on the market, he could almost calculate Liu Shanshi's profit for more than a month, 100,000 yuan Liu Shanshi is acceptable, and no matter how high the benefits are in the future, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to accept.

What's more, Qi Ming himself didn't plan to become a fat man in one go, and he really sucked up Liu Shanshi's blood in one go, I'm afraid that the more he thinks about it after he goes back, the more angry he becomes, and it is possible to do something like a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.

After Liu Shanshi confirmed the authenticity of the game module and the secret key, he smoked silently, and he was probably thinking about a lot of things at this time.

Qi Ming pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother Liu, if I have a few more words before leaving, you should know that this thing has to be shot as soon as possible." Within a month, you still have an obvious advantage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the time and place are favorable. It's hard to say after a month. ”

"I understand." Liu Shanshi nodded, his attitude towards Qi Ming at this moment was no longer like eating at noon.

"That's okay, you're a smart person, I won't say more, let's not change the green mountains, the green water will flow forever, and we will see you in the rivers and lakes." Qi Ming said and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Liu Shanshi hesitated, looking at Qi Ming's hand raised in the air, but he still chose to take it symbolically and politely.

Coming out of the Internet with the wind, Qi Ming didn't rush home, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early. I took a taxi and went to Taoyuan Road, came to the gate of CUHK, found a newsstand, made a phone call to Li Zhiheng's dormitory, and called this technical house.

A few minutes later, Li Zhiheng walked out with a popsicle, and smiled when he saw Qi Ming.

"What kind of wind is this that blew you here, brother?"

Qi Ming didn't say much, he took an envelope and mysteriously handed it to Li Zhiheng, "This is the final payment, counting the previous total of 10,000 yuan, this is what we said on the Internet before." ”

Li Zhiheng pinched the thick envelope, tore it open and took a look at the red light inside, which seemed to be like a golden light, and he felt an itch in his heart, and he wanted to take it out and count it.

"I've worked hard for you these past few days." Qi Ming said and took out a new sketchbook and threw it into Li Zhiheng's arms.

"What's the best idea this time?" Li Zhiheng opened it and took a look.

At first, he didn't see anything boring, but the more he turned back, the smile on his face stiffened and solidified a little, and finally turned into shock.

Qi Ming said at this time: "I know that counting the previous deposit, the total is less than 20,000 yuan, and you have worked hard and died a lot of brain cells." So I'm giving you this sketchbook, and it's a little bit of my idea in it. You don't have to rush to make it, before you go to graduate school, it's best not to show up in this sketch on the market. ”

Li Zhiheng threw away the unfinished popsicle in one go, and said, "Why don't you keep this thing for yourself?" ”

"I have to go to Shanghai to study at university, and the focus must not continue to be on this," Qi Ming smiled and took out a cigarette, regardless of whether Li Zhiheng, a rookie, was used to smoking or not, and handed him one, "You have computer technology, although we can't talk about like-minded and friendship, but we can still talk." I thought about it for a while, and it was best for you to give this thing to you, and as for how much money you can make, it depends on your own ability. ”

"I've got to treat you to a big meal." Li Zhiheng said that although he was a technical nerd, how could he not know that Qi Ming handed over this thing to him with the intention of wooing himself.

The so-called teaching a man to fish is better than teaching a man to fish.

Li Zhiheng has read the content of this sketchbook, although he has not studied it carefully, but he can also expect the value of it. He wanted to invite Qi Ming to a meal, whether it was out of gratitude or to pave the way for future relationships.

"There's no need to eat, today should be the last time we meet in Zhongzhou, and I have to report to school in a few days." If I can meet it again in the future, I will definitely choose the best restaurant. ”

After speaking, Qi Ming behaved very calmly, whether it was his tone or demeanor, he did not show the slightest childishness. This made Li Zhiheng even more deeply admired, the young man in front of him who was about to enter his college career.
