The future will naturally be seen in the future.

However, after the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Peng, who wanted to relax for a few more days, and it was best to work after the Lantern Festival, had to come to Lao Bai's studio after receiving a phone call......

"The STAF engine is also a relatively mature game engine."

After meeting for the first time after the year, after a lively time, everyone sat down, Chen Fengzhi introduced to Sun Peng: "In the past few years, there was still a company to use, but later because the R&D investment could not keep up, it slowly fell behind...... However, if you want to talk about the foundation, there are still some things, and they are not bad, and what is missing now is a sum of money for them to continue to improve. ”

Holding the information handed over by Chen Fengzhi, after just looking at it twice, Sun Peng threw it aside.

It's not that I don't want to read it, but I can't understand it at all.

He was not interested in learning more about this company, so he thought for a while and asked, "Of course, domestic companies are the highest priority, but are you sure that as long as this engine continues to improve, it can meet our needs?" ”

"Of course, we're sure!"

After looking at each other with Chen Fengzhi, Chen Maolin nodded seriously and said, "I have heard of the STAB engine when I was in the UK before, and I have also seen the games made with it, and to be honest, it feels pretty good." This time, I took a closer look at it and felt that they were quite ambitious at the beginning, but it's a pity that ......"

After a pause when he said this, Chen Maolin then smiled and said: "The original R&D cost was too high, but the engine itself was not very perfect...... However, if there is sufficient capital investment, I believe that it will be able to bring it back to life in two or three years. ”

When he said these words, Chen Maolin's attitude was quite calm.

He is not talking nonsense, but after careful investigation and understanding, he came to a conclusion. Chen Maolin just regretted that his boss was really a layman, so he didn't even look at the information he carefully prepared, which made Lao Chen feel a sense of loss in his heart.

But......

"Is the company willing to sell? How much does it cost? ”

Sun Peng's next sentence made Chen Maolin suddenly lift his spirits.

"If you sell it, you must be willing to sell, otherwise you will smash it!"

After considering his words for a while, Chen Maolin smiled: "First, their company is not in good shape, and it is difficult to invest money to improve this engine; Second, now the engines of not only Europe, America and Japan are very mature on the market, but also the engines of several domestic companies have caught up, even if they invest money, they may not be able to win the future competition, so as long as the price is right, it will definitely be sold! ”

At this moment, Chen Fengzhi smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that the price is a little high, and it costs 80 million Huaxia coins, and our psychological expectation is 50 million, and everyone has not talked about it." ”

After listening to Chen Fengzhi's words, Sun Peng also understood the purpose of their calling himself.

If it is a mature game engine, it can be used, and 80 million is definitely quite cheap; However, if it is necessary to continue to invest a lot of financial resources and manpower in research and development, and it will take two or three years to meet the needs of Lao Bai Studio, then the price of 80 million is a bit high in Chen Fengzhi's opinion.

So at this time, it is up to the boss to make a decision.

However, compared to Chen Feng and them, Sun Peng only cares about two questions: "Two, I just want to know if if we buy this engine, compared to re-developing it ourselves, will it be possible to greatly shorten the research and development cycle?" In addition, is this game engine suitable for our "The Legend of the Old White Heroes"? ”

Sun Peng's gaze finally fixed on Chen Maolin's face.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Maolin nodded very certainly: "The engine itself is fine, it is carefully selected by us, as long as it is perfected, it will definitely be suitable for our game." And if we buy it, it will shorten our development time by at least a year and a half...... At least a year and a half, and if we invest enough, we can shorten the R&D cycle by up to two and a half years......"

"So what else do you want? Buy it! ”

When he heard this, Sun Peng didn't seem to have anything to look like, and waved his hand directly: "Isn't it eighty million?" Just give them to them! Hurry up and get the rights to the game engine...... By the way, if their team wants to come, they can do as much as they can! You should consider the treatment, so that the family is both willing and motivated in the future! ”

“……”

Looking at each other again, Chen Fengzhi and Chen Maolin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sure enough, it's still that style!

I don't consider the cost performance at all, it's cost-effective or not, I just hear that it can shorten the R&D cycle and wave a buy word directly, which makes people feel that so much preparation work before them is useless!

However......

Why does such a boss make people feel so happy?!

"Alright, boss!"

In the end, Chen Fengzhi spread his hands and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, and I will try to complete the transaction within a week...... These 80 million should be regarded as our cheekiness to help you spend some of the box office dividends you just earned! ”

"Hahaha......"

Hearing what his partner said, Chen Maolin was immediately happy: "Old Chen, are you still thick-skinned?" Should it be said that thin is good, right? Just for the "Han Bo and Lingshi" that is being released now, I heard that our boss's dividends are hundreds of millions, and 80 million is a fraction, right? ”

"Phew, change isn't money?"

Sun Peng was not happy here, and blinked his eyes and said happily: "And I am using the main business to supplement the side business, whether I can see the return in the future depends on whether you people give it or not!" ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Maolin and Chen Fengzhi's expressions became serious at the same time, especially Chen Maolin nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, boss, now our Lao Bai Studio has been fully started!" In the next three months, the game studio will expand to at least 300 people, and there will be an outsourced team of at least 15 people, ensuring that "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 1" will be completed as quickly as possible! And ......"

After a pause when he said this, Chen Maolin continued: "After the acquisition of the STAF engine, Lao Chen will also organize people to improve it as soon as possible, I believe it should not take more than three years!" ”

"Up to the most, two and a half years!"

Thinking of the amount of money Sun Peng has invested in the game engine, Chen Fengzhi said with confidence: "My side is ready, in addition to the original team of STAF, there are also industry elites invited from home and abroad to join, so I am confident that it can be completed within two and a half years...... Maybe it won't be able to catch up with the second part, after all, we still have to consider the issue of proficiency, but "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 3" will definitely be able to use our own engine! ”

The words of the two bigwigs made Sun Peng's blood boil a little, and he laughed and said: "If it can really be all realized, it will be great!" Anyway, don't think about saving money, as long as you can ensure the quality, you can increase the number of people if you can solve the problem by increasing the number of people, and if you need to outsource, find the best company to help! In two and a half years, I hope to see a really good game, and a game engine that is suitable for martial arts, and preferably one that can be used by future Chinese martial arts games......"
