Chapter 80: Burning Money

The game Ye Fei said is a "legend" that fascinates hundreds of millions of players around the world.

In Ye Fei's memory, not long after the online game Legend was launched, the CEO of this game company became the richest man in the country with a net worth of tens of billions, and the experience of this boss was also called a legend at that time.

And when he went to the Internet café to look for Dandan, he actually had the idea of finding someone to help him make the same game.

In 1998, although the Internet café was always full, most people went to the Internet café to play some stand-alone games, even if they went online, at most they only chatted with people in the web chat room, and the real online games have not yet appeared.

Even if some companies already have such an idea now, it is at most in the process of game design and development, and it will be a year or two before it is actually launched, so Ye Fei wants to make his game appear on the market as soon as possible before these people.

So Ye Fei asked: "Niu Ping, how long do you think it will take to develop such a game before it can be launched, of course, I am talking about the actual launch, excluding the deleted internal beta, and the time of the public beta." ”

Seeing that the words that came out of Ye Fei's mouth became more and more professional, Gu Yingying listened to it in a fog.

Even Niu Ping began to doubt at this time.

He asked Ye Fei: "Mr. Ye, are you ...... Did you study this major before? Or have you been exposed to these things in some countries with more developed networks in Europe and the United States? How else would you know so much? ”

Ye Fei also suddenly realized at this time that what he said was a bit too much.

So he hurriedly patted the computer and said: "Isn't it that I use this computer to dial up the Internet these days, and I have seen a lot of these news on the Internet, where have I been to any developed countries in Europe and the United States, and I have not even gone out to our own motherland." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Gu Yingying: "Look, this is the benefit of computers, you can see a lot of things on the Internet that others don't know." ”

Gu Yingying heard these two people talking like listening to the book of heaven, so she could only nod her head blankly and express her approval, but she was still resisting in her heart.

Even in the face of Ye Fei's question, Niu Ping hadn't thought about it yet.

So he thought for a long time before replying: "If you want to design and develop a game that Mr. Ye said, hundreds of people will work together, and I estimate that it can be done in about a year." ”

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "One year...... It's been a bit of a long time. ”

"But Mr. Ye, the development of the game is not as simple as you think......" Niu Ping immediately explained.

Ye Fei didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted him and said: "I know, but a year is too long, so I decided to increase investment, you want to run the company for me within a month, the number of people must be more than two hundred, I ask this game to be launched within half a year, can you do it?" ”

Niu Ping frowned and pondered.

And Gu Yingying finally couldn't help it at this time, he said to Ye Fei: "Xiaofei, are you crazy, a company of two hundred people, half a year has not been profitable, and the wages of these employees alone can drag down our group." ”

But Ye Fei didn't seem to care about what Gu Yingying was saying at this time, just waiting for Niu Ping's reply.

Niu Ping suddenly raised his head and said, "What if...... If it's 200 people, then I think I should be able to do it, and I will do my best! ”

Ye Fei clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Okay, then start working tomorrow, you don't have to choose the company's address, I will rent you two floors below this floor of our group tomorrow, you just have to let it go." ”

Looking at Gu Yingying again, her angry face was already red at this time.

So Ye Fei said to her with a smile: "I calculated, it may only take a few million in the early stage, and our company will be able to start." ”

"Start? When you start with a few million, it may just be the cost of rental, the cost of various equipment in the company, and the first month of the company's employees, right? ”

Ye Fei nodded awkwardly.

Gu Yingying asked again: "After that, even if this company will make money after half a year, what will happen in this half a year?" ”

"I've thought about it, and our other companies will soon be operating normally, and when the time comes, the profits of coal yards, steel mills and iron ore mines, there will be no problem in subsidizing this company."

Gu Yingying shook her head and said: "You want 200 employees in this company, and they are all computer talents, I think the salary will not be low, in the first half of the year, the cost of various expenses will add up, and it will definitely be thrown into tens of millions, you ...... Are you really sure? ”

"I'm sure, and I'm looking forward to it right now!"

After speaking, he also looked at Niu Ping, who was clasping his fingers and didn't know what he was trying to write.

Niu Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded to Gu Yingying: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Ye explained my goal, and I will do my best to complete it." ”

Although Ye Fei saw Gu Yingying shaking her head and sighing at this time, the expression on her face could also be seen that she was already willing to let herself take the risk of doing this.

Before this, what Ye Fei was most worried about was that Gu Yingying disagreed, after all, they were two people, and Gu Yingying also held the financial power.

So seeing Gu Yingying's acquiescence, Ye Fei finally relaxed, just waiting for Niu Ping to create a miracle for him.

However, unexpectedly, Ye Fei's estimate was still a little different.

Because it has only been half a month, tens of millions of funds have been invested.

The reason is that when Niu Ping began to recruit the company's employees, he had extremely strict requirements for the employees' academic qualifications and even qualifications, so that the wages of employees would naturally not be low, and even the monthly salary of 20,000 or 30,000 returnees has recruited more than a dozen, these people are the core talents in foreign network companies, so although others seem to exaggerate this kind of salary in China, they don't give people this treatment, don't want to recruit such talents at all.

Despite this, Ye Fei gritted his teeth and continued to invest.

Gu Xiaocong and a few people also heard Gu Yingying say that Ye Fei would use the profits of several other companies to make up for the company's losses in the early stage in the future.

So every time these people came to Ye Fei for a meeting and passed by this company, they stomped their feet with hatred.

Ma Yuanlong looked at the hundreds of young people in Niu Ping's company sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, why do I feel like I'm dripping blood every time I pass by this company." ”

"Who is not, who of us is not distressed, raising more than 200 people, just sitting here every day and typing on the keyboard, there is no income at all in the first six months, and it is still unknown whether he can make money after that, I really don't know what this Xiaofei thinks in his heart." Gu Xiaocong also complained.

But what they didn't expect was that when the company didn't even start to make a profit, they had completely changed their attitude towards the company when the first game appeared.
