Chapter 160: Joint Studios
Li Hongbo and his team set the resurrection point in Baoding, and he wanted to cry without tears when he looked at his resurrected subordinates. In order to make a difference in the game, he established the Blue Sky Studio, and in order to save costs, he did not hesitate to harm his classmates and alumni. After entering the game, he developed carefully, relying on his cleverness to do many tasks, coupled with relying on the advantage of being outnumbered and robbing many players, so that Blue Sky Studio had a certain competitiveness.
Li Hongbo will not kill the player when he snatches the player, and after surrounding the lone player, he will force the player to come up with some benefits, and many players are willing to pay him some money to buy the road after weighing it, so as to avoid the fate of being killed.
This trick is very obscene, some lone players have items or money on them, and they are stopped by Li Hongbo's people, if they are killed, not only the items in the blanket will burst out, but also drop a level, and most people are willing to choose to lose some money and escape the catastrophe.
Li Hongbo does this, and every time he loots, the harvest is much smaller, but he doesn't have to kill people, and he won't be on the blacklist of the official government. After a few months of accumulation, Blue Sky Game Studio finally got a little shaped, and the members were equipped with guns, and they also bought fifty horses to facilitate the robbery.
It was precisely because of the great increase in strength that Li Hongbo had the courage to go to Langfang to participate in large-scale missions, and he gained a lot of benefits from joining the Boxer Rebellion against the advance team of the coalition forces. He was very sensible, knowing that the main purpose of dealing with the Eight-Nation Alliance was to earn experience points, and the risk of dying in this kind of battle was too great, and the game studio did not need to risk it for experience points, so he chose to do some tasks that had nothing to do with the coalition forces.
Li Hongbo consulted a lot of information about the Battle of Langfang, and finally locked on the task of capturing Nie Shicheng's family, and asked his subordinates to find clues to this mission.
The task of kidnapping Nie Shicheng's family is not only known to Li Hongbo, but many players admire Nie Shicheng's personality and choose to give up even if they have a clue to the task. The players in Li Hongbo's studio are all college students, and they have just begun to step into the society, and they still have a simple side, and many people are against doing this task, but in order to get ahead, Li Hongbo has long thrown away the festival, and he ignores the opinions of others.
The emperor paid off, and one of Li Hongbo's players finally received the task, so he took fifteen elites to Shizhai. On the way, he met Chen Hao cleaning up the battlefield, and he was greedy when he saw three good horses, so he took the old way to buy horses, but unexpectedly provoked people who should not be provoked, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses.
Li Hongbo bought 50 horses in order to plunder with his men, and he lost more than half of the battle this time, and he worked hard for decades to return to the pre-liberation period at a time. This is a great blow to Li Hongbo, after a long silence he asked all his subordinates to quit the game, notify the players in the studio to hold a meeting, after everyone arrived, Li Hongbo said sincerely: "Maybe some people think that many of my practices are not humane, but I also do this because the reality is too cruel, no one here is particularly good, if you want to get ahead, you have to think of some ways." I'm a little more strict with everyone so that the studio can develop, and everyone can unite to make a difference. β
"There are a lot of opportunities in the game "War", and we developed well in the early stage, but this time because we provoked Chen Ba to suffer a big loss, the early efforts were in vain. Originally, I was going to be independent in the studio, and we all worked together to build our own power, but after this incident, I realized that I was too naΓ―ve. β
"The game is full of opportunities, but there are also many unforeseen things, and you can't develop without enough resilience to risks. Some time ago, someone wanted to take a stake in our studio, I refused, and now I have decided to accept the other party's conditions, for me to do so, I lost the opportunity to develop independently, but it is a good thing for you, your treatment and development prospects will be better. β
After a few months of operation of the game studio, some people already knew about Li Hongbo's contract to cheat people, so they were obviously suspicious of his words. Soon someone stood up and said, "Squad leader, you said that someone wants to take a stake in our studio, what is the shareholding method?" β
Li Hongbo smiled and said: "The funds of our studio will be provided by the other party in the future, and our studio will not only operate itself, but also cooperate with others." What I can guarantee is that with more money you will double your income, which will be a real benefit to you. The contract I signed with you before may have been a bit harsh, but it is also for the sake of our studio, for the future development, for everyone to get ahead. β
Hearing that the members of the studio could double their incomes accepted Li Hongbo's statement, the anger of those who were originally full of resentment against him also dissipated. The classmates who have always known the truth are dissatisfied with Li Hongbo's cheating on themselves, and now they hear him explain that it is for everyone's future development, and this time he would rather give up being the boss for the sake of doubling everyone's income, which makes many people forgive him.
After successfully convincing the members of the studio, Li Hongbo, who left the conference room, showed a smug smile, these college students who have just stepped into the society are too easy to fool. He gave up the opportunity to be boss because the loss was so heavy that he didn't have more money to invest, not for the sake of the studio members, as he said.
Some time ago, a person named Zhou Shi contacted all the studios in Huayang District, wanting to establish a cooperative relationship with all the studios, provide a part of the development funds for the studios, and suggested that all the studios join forces to form an alliance.
It is rumored that this person named Zhou Shi has an official background and belongs to the kind of person who covers the sky with one hand in Huayang District. He was willing to invest because he wanted each studio to become a part of the force he built in disguise, and the purpose of the studio was to make money, and there was no harm in uniting to develop, and many studios agreed with his suggestion.
Li Hongbo refused, and his Blue Sky Studio was developing well at that time, which gave him the idea of being his own boss in the game.
This blow made him understand that it was okay to set up a studio to make money in the game, but it was beyond his power to become a warlord. First promise Zhou Shi to jointly reduce the risk of the game, and then slowly accumulate the capital of the studio, and then establish a headquarters when there is an opportunity is the best choice.
Li Hongbo obviously wanted to lean on the big tree of Zhou Shi, but when he held a meeting, he said that it was to increase the income of the studio members, so as to resolve the knots in the hearts of the studio members. After Zhou Shi injected some funds, the income of the studio's players doubled, and in fact, it was only the same as the income of other studio members, because the previous contract formulated by Li Hongbo was too cheating.
Li Hongbo has a much deeper understanding of "War", and he feels that there are too many variables in the game, and even Zhou Shi, who has strong financial resources, may not be able to get ahead. Now relying on Zhou Shi's development, if Zhou Shi becomes a hero in the future, it is not bad to rely on the cooperative relationship with him to make money.
Once Zhou Shi doesn't mix up in the game, of course the studio will be estranged from him, as long as he gets the support of the studio members, it will be too late to stand on his own. He quickly called Zhou Shi and said with a smile on his face: "Hello! Mr. Zhou, I'm Li Hongbo from Blue Sky Game Studio. Last time you proposed that all the studios join forces to accept your funding and cooperate with you in the game, and I discussed it with my partner and we all agreed to your terms, do you think we can find time to sign the contract? β
"Huh! Manager Li is very smart! No problem, I'll arrange for someone to come and sign a contract with you, and the first payment will be on your account soon. β
After Zhou Shi hung up the phone, he said to Wang Yu on the side: "Go and find out what is wrong with Li Hongbo's studio." β
After a while, Wang Yu came back and told him what happened in the game, Zhou Shi smiled: "This guy seems to be a very ambitious person, but his ambition was crushed by Chen Ba first this time, so he should be honest in the future!" β
Wang Yu sneered: "Dogs can't change their, I guess this Li Hongbo is a broken capital chain, so he wants to rely on us for development for the time being." Once he's built up a bankroll, he's bound to set up a new business if we don't develop in the game. β
Zhou Shi said lightly: "Not only does he have this idea, all the studios that choose to cooperate with us are the same, they will do things for us with peace of mind when we develop, and rely on us to make money." If we don't mix well in the game, they will definitely choose to set up another door or join other forces, and the so-called hometown friendship is not worth the bullshit. β
Wang Yu said in surprise: "Boss, since you know that they are unreliable, why do you still invest so much money to cooperate with them?" β
Zhou Shi smiled confidently and said: "Because I am confident that I can develop better than them, those people under the pig killing knife are all rabble, and we are still understaffed." I don't have the energy to set up game studios, pull these studios together, I provide them with financial security, improve their ability to resist risks, and can call on their manpower when something happens, which is a win-win deal. β
Wang Yu frowned and said: "I'm still not at ease if these studios are not in my own hands, they are not of the same mind as us, what if we are sold in the game?" β
Zhou Shi said with a cold gaze: "Those gangsters under the Pig Killing Knife don't play games very well, but there are still a few outlaws, if these studios play tricks, give them to those outlaws!" β
Wang Yu suddenly realized, he scratched his head and said: "It's still Boss Zhou, you think about it, in addition to Huayang, there are also many studios in Xifeng County, I will visit them tomorrow to see if I can cooperate." β
Zhou Shi waved his hand and said: "This is not in a hurry, you just leave it to your subordinates, just now Li Hongbo told me that the Boxers may still have a task to deal with Nie Shicheng's family, I believe that the monarch is not good to be involved in the Boxers, you can bring people forward to see if you can get a two-way task to deal with Chen Baxian." β
Wang Yu said with a puzzled expression: "Boss, didn't you tell us not to provoke Chen Baxian again?" Why do you want to go against him now? β
Sansheng shook his head and said: "Through what happened to Li Hongbo, I already know very well what Chen Baxian's character is, this kind of person will be avenged, and the grudge we have with him cannot be resolved at all." Since it is impossible to resolve the hatred, in order not to suffer losses in the future, we can only desperately suppress him and prevent him from having a chance to ride on our heads. β
