Chapter 1353: New Cooperation
"That's the problem with drugs, isn't it?"
Zhang Xin's expression was calm: "You can't find the right medicine to match a reasonable nutrient solution? I think this is the real difficulty of virtual reality 2.0 technology." β
"We've developed some formulations of nutrient solutions, and the results are pretty good. The problem is that their raw materials are very expensive. Considering the resistance of the human body, it cannot be used forever. β
Li Xiangze shook his head: "But if this technology can only be applied on a small scale and becomes the exclusive domain of the rich, then it will be meaningless." Many of our bioengineers have already lost their hair for this project. β
When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "As the president of Hanlong Company, shouldn't Mr. Li try his best to make me understand that this technology has a great future? β
"I believe in the foresight of the Divine Authority. β
Li Xiangze also laughed: "What's more, if His Excellency Shenwei really wants to know about these matters, he will definitely not be able to hide them from you." It's not like I'm boasting about it here, and it's going to be useful. β
"Visionary?"
Zhang Xin looked noncommittal: "As far as I know, Mr. Li is under a lot of pressure due to the R&D funding?"
This is because last year, Hanlong invested 12 billion federal coins in this technology. This led to a sharp reduction in the dividends of Hanlong Game Company last year, and also made the major shareholders of the game company extremely dissatisfied with Li Xiangze.
"Regarding last year's R&D funding, I was really too careful. β
Li Xiangze said with gratitude: "Speaking of this, I have to thank His Excellency Shenwei Gong. It is precisely because of your support that I and the management team of Hanlong Company have withstood the pressure at the shareholder level. β
"But what I can do is still limited after all, isn't it? We only hold 10 percent of the shares of Hanlong Games. I believe that if there is still a similar situation next year, then even I will not be able to let you, Mr. Li, continue to stay in this position safely. Soβ"
After Zhang Xin said this, he came to a deep conclusion: "I wonder if Mr. Li has considered separating this project from Hanlong Game Company and setting up a separate company, or reselling all the patents of this project to me?"
Li Xiangze's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at Zhang Xin intently. After a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Your Excellency Shenwei, I think we should come to my office to discuss this matter in detail." β
β»β»β»β»
When the two sat down in Li Xiangze's spacious and bright office, the president of Hanlong Company went straight to the point.
"Your Excellency Shenwei, I want to know, what do you think?"
"As you judged, I was far-sighted. β
The corners of Zhang Xin's lips were fine-tuned, and he sat opposite Li Xiangze: "But I think this project of yours will never be realized without more than 100 billion follow-up research and development funds." Considering your company's weak biotechnology, if you insist on independent research and development, then even if you spend more than 200 billion federal coins, there is little hope. So I suggested to Mr. Li that it would be better to separate this project from Hanlong Games and create a separate company. I can use funds to invest in shares, and our Sunway Academy will provide corresponding technical support. β
Li Xiangze frowned, his eyes resistant, but he did not refuse, but continued to ask: "Then Your Excellency Shenwei Gong, how many shares are you going to occupy in this company?"
"I can value the technology you have now at three hundred billion federal dollars, and invest the equivalent in the company, with the latter having more money, to get at least fifty percent of the shares. β
Zhang Xin clasped his hands in front of his chest: "Actually, I am more inclined to buy, 35 billion federal coins, to buy all the patents and personnel of this project." These two solutions can reduce the financial pressure of Hanlong Game Company, and it is also beneficial to Mr. Li, you can stabilize your business rights, what do you think?"
"But I think you're usurping our research. β
Li Xiangze looked dissatisfied: "These two methods, no matter which one they are, are unacceptable to us,"
"It's a very sincere way to work together. β
Zhang Xin shook his head: "Mr. Li, you have to understand that the patents obtained by Hanlong Game Company are not impossible to bypass. The technical strength of Shenwei Academy is also far above that of Hanlong Game Company. If I were willing, I might be able to get the same R&D progress as Hanlong Games with less money. Therefore, the cooperation between our two sides is actually more beneficial to you. The only thing I gained from this transaction was time. β
Li Xiangze couldn't help but fall into silence, and after a long time, he muttered, "Can you give me some more time to think about it?"
"Okay, make a decision as soon as possible. β
Zhang Xin nodded indispensably, and then asked: "The second thing I came here for is the game of 'Sky Dome World' that I commissioned you to develop, it seems that the progress is not bad, and the main program has been built." I wonder when this game will be available?"
"There are still some details to be done in this game, and there are also many problems with the background and NPCs. After that, there will be an internal test and an open test, and after all the tests are completed, it can be officially operated."
Li Xiangze looked at the 'Shenwei Gong' opposite with a suspicious gaze. For some reason, he felt that this person's attention to this game might still be on top of the virtual reality 2.0 technology.
"According to the predetermined plan, the official launch time of this game should be a year and a half later. Also, those game backgrounds and character plots, in my opinion, still need to be adjusted. It can make this more interesting and better maintain the balance of power. β
"On this aspect, it's better not to change!"
Zhang Xin's face was solemn: "This is the purpose of my coming to you this time, a year and a half is too long, I hope this game will be completed in half a year or even three months, and start a large-scale internal test, in short, the sooner the betterββ"
Li Xiangze's expression was stunned: "But this is not in line with our company's business plan, and it will also occupy great resources, wasting money and manpower." β
"Please understand, I mean, from now on, all your company's resources will be tilted towards this game!"
Zhang Xin looked coldly at the opposite side of the desk: "I will provide the funds, and your company needs to complete it at all costs and use all its strength to promote this game!"
Li Xiangze was directly stunned, at this moment, the cold gaze on the opposite side, as well as the overwhelming momentum, almost suffocated him.
And after waking up, Li Xiangze's breathing gradually became heavy, and he tried all his strength to speak: "This thing you requested, Hanlong Game Company can do it." But I think you'd better give me a reason, Your Excellency. β
"I owe you a favor. β
Zhang Xin's voice was cold and solemn, almost word for word, "Just this game, the number of players has reached three percent of the ancient martial arts heroes. Then as long as I am still alive, without violating my own principles, I can help you solve any kind of trouble whenever and in any form. β
Li Xiangze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "No matter what kind of trouble, even if it offends the Nine Kings Vein?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Xin leaned back and looked conceited: "I may not be able to help you deal with them, but you can still have the ability to make a settlement." β
