Chapter 116: Acquisition of Demonic Industries

Flying around the world on the third day of the game's release is really not a good note.

However, Luo Bai can't help it, as early as half a year ago, the negotiation began to be completed, and the acquisition of the Magic Industrial Studio has reached the end.

At this point, he, the original founder, had to fly to the ocean to have a good business docking with the boss of Modong Industry.

As a loser in the game industry, the owner Andrew didn't have too many ideas, and after Luo Bai accepted his offer, the conversation between the two sides was also very pleasant.

On the wine table, he expressed his heartfelt admiration and encouragement for the idea that he was about to enter the 3D production.

Magic Industry is one of the many game studios in the entire Beacon Country, but compared to most of the independent game studios on the market, because the boss Andrew himself has enough capital, he aimed at the level of "3A masterpiece" as soon as he came up.

After purchasing a large number of equipment and tapping a large number of talents, the final finished product sold poorly.

Not to mention that the studio fell apart in the end, anyway, the main business departments were also cut down, and in the end, the entire studio only retained the most basic "CG production", "character modeling", "motion capture" and other departments.

Now the main business on weekdays is to do some small factory 3D game CG outsourcing.

It's not that no one wants to pack up the rest of the magic industry and take it away, but the conditions given really can't satisfy this guy who has lost a lot of money.

The conditions given by Luo Bai are quite kind, and Andrew, who has been working hard to support the magic industry for more than a year, is also disheartened, and the two sides hit it off, and the last shortcoming in the entire beginner's game has finally been filled.

"Luo, sure enough, starting a business is not a good decision, at that time, I was honestly drunk and dreamed of death, and I may not be able to spend all the money in this life......"

Andrew poured bitter water on Luo Bai in a drunken state, and Luo Bai just smiled helplessly.

At the end of the dinner, this drunken guy who couldn't stand on his feet, at the last moment when he was taken away, reminded Luo Bai:

"Luo, the people in the department below are very dissatisfied with my behavior of selling the magic move to you, if you want to get it into operation as soon as you buy it, you may need to think of some ways."

"Thank you for your advice."

Luo Bai responded.

Following.

I have to say that Andrew's reminder is still very reasonable.

In the face of Luo Bai's arrival, although the dozens of employees currently existing in the magic industry expressed their welcome to the new boss on the surface, they seemed to take care of Luo Bai when he asked about the main work at hand in the team and the core technical problems in the studio.

In this regard, although Luo Bai's heart was full of anger, he did not attack on the spot, until after finally completing the visit to the magic industry, Luo Bai shook hands with An Chui, the current person in charge of the entire magic industry, and left here.

"I don't understand, why did Andrew sell the magic to that damn yellow man? It's terrible. ”

It wasn't until he saw Luo Bai's taillights disappear from sight that Greenland, Anchai's deputy, muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, be careful what you say, Lo is our current boss after all, not to mention, he's also a game producer himself, and the winner of the TGA Game of the Year award."

Ann Chai elbowed Andrew against his side waist,

"The reason why I acquired Modong this time is that I want to enter the 3D game market.

Andrew's last time was not light, and the reason why he didn't disband the magic movement on the spot was because he was not very willing. ”

"Come on, we all know how lucky Ori was to win that award at that time, not to mention, he had no experience in making 3D games at all.

Now he wants to get the studio up and running, and he can only rely on us. ”

Greenland pursed his lips disapprovingly, still full of disdain for Luo Bai.

This time, An Chai didn't say anything more.

In essence, the idea in his heart is the same as Greenland, yes, in his eyes, Luo Bai is just a lucky person who has developed several popular games, and he has no experience in making 3D games before.

It's not much different from Andrew before.

If he didn't want the magic industry he had just spent a lot of money to become an empty shell with only equipment, then he could only rely on him and Greenland.

……

"Luo, it seems that you didn't have a smooth trip."

Andrew happily opened a bottle of fine red wine to Luo Bai.

Just got rid of a mess at hand, can you be in a bad mood?

"It's not going well, all the employees are more repulsed by my new boss, looking at the faces of Anchai and Greenland, I want to fire them directly."

Luo Bai smiled helplessly and said very calmly.

"No, no, Luo, you can't do this, if An Chai and Greenland are fired by you for no reason, all the employees will make trouble.

At that time, the union will definitely intervene in this matter, which may face a large fine and some things that you don't want to see at all. ”

Andrew directly denied Luo Bai's rough behavior, and then poured Luo Bai a glass,

"You need to find some little tricks to chase this guy, so that a professional lawyer can protect your property."

Here it comes.

Since Andrew reminded himself yesterday, Luo Bai knew that he would definitely come to the door again, and Andrew knew this in his heart.

Although I don't know what the other party wants, after all, I only saw the business level of Magic Industry that met my own requirements at that time, and I didn't consider that there would be such a huge hidden danger in this studio.

Moreover, because of the possible intervention of the trade union, the original idea of wanting to directly and brutally solve everything and recruit new people has also been frustrated.

Let's take it one step at a time.

"Mr. Andrew, can you elaborate?"

Luo Bai asked sincerely.

"That's right, since my last project completely failed, after the magic industry shrunk, from the original 'game studio' to the later 'outsourcing studio', the initial revenue is actually still okay.

Because of the previous investment at no expense, at present, in the production of CG, motion capture, etc., the technology of Magic can be said to be very good.

There are still many small factories that are willing to ask us for help.

But then the revenue gradually began to decrease, and gradually decreased to a point where I couldn't stand it.

On the one hand, it is because the game industry here has closed down a lot due to reports, complaints and other related factors, which has affected our business volume.

On the other hand, I suspect that Anchai is using the studio's resources to bypass the company and do some of the outsourcing business that he has received, and because of this, it is also affecting the delivery of the company's normal business. ”

Andrew did not sell Guanzi, but directly told Luo Bai and Pan.

This kind of honesty still makes Luo Bai feel very comfortable.

But......

"Mr. Andrew, with all due respect, if you really want to check, this kind of thing should not be difficult to check.

Whether it's from the employees below or the game companies on the market, there are so many ways to find evidence. ”

Luo Bai was right.

If it's really like Andrew said, Ann chases this guy too roughly.

As long as you want to investigate, you will definitely be able to find evidence.

"I just don't think it's necessary."

Andrew shook his head helplessly,

"An Chai is a smart person, he can see that I don't want this mess of Magic for a long time, but after all, outsourcing can still make money, if you really send him in, the entire studio's business will collapse, and then Magic will not be able to sell at a price.

Not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, Andrew exhaled,

"I don't have many connections in the gaming industry, and I don't want to owe such a big favor for such a small thing.

At present, many people in the team have directly or indirectly accepted the benefits of Anchai, and everyone will not report Anchai for this kind of thing. ”

Whether it is the East or the West, it is actually a humane society.

It's just that a nice noun "letter of introduction" was added over there as a cover-up.

Luo Bai can understand Andrew's helplessness, he just wants to leave the scene safely in the end.

I also understand why An Chai is so fearless.

The magic studio is a studio that Luo Bai just bought at a large price, as long as Luo Bai doesn't want the studio to stop, he can only pinch his nose to recognize this matter, and admit that An chased part of the dominance within the magic movement.

Moreover, worse than Andrew's situation, Luo Bai's nationality makes him naturally vulnerable when facing this kind of thing.

"Mr. Andrew, can you see the information and specific profits of the outsourcing that the magic power has passed through your hands at present?"

"Absolutely."

Looking at the smiling Andrew, Luo Bai suddenly understood why this guy would choose himself instead of another beautiful national company that was almost the same as his original offer.

He probably took a fancy to his connections in the gaming circle.

Even if he had an idea in his heart, Luo Bai didn't make his own opinion, but after separating from Andrew, he specially called Xiao Weirui and informed him of the problems that existed here.

"Mr. Luo, I'll contact you with a professional lawyer right away......

Xiao Weirui's words were interrupted by Luo Bai before she finished speaking:

"Mr. Xiao, no need, I'm still more or less connected in the game circle here, but I may stay here a little longer than I imagined, and I still need to pay more attention to the relevant movements of the Hollow Knight.

In addition, I remember to carry out all the plans I made before when I am not there. ”

Xiao Weirui was silent for a while, and simply replied on the other end of the phone.

After ending the call with Xiao Weirui, Luo Bai opened his mobile phone address book and looked at it for a long time, and still called Robert.

"Oh, my dear Lo, this call you made me is bothering me to play Hollow Knight!

How? Did the acquisition of Modong Industries go well? How about we find a place to have a drink today? ”

This point is obviously during work hours, and Luo Bai knows that Robert is just joking with himself, but this joke does make people feel happy.

Luo Bai's visit to the Lighthouse Country to acquire Magic Industry this time could not be concealed from the well-intentioned people in the industry, especially the appearance of the Hollow Knight, which further enhanced Robert's rating of Luo Bai and his original intention.

"The acquisition went well, but there was a little other trouble, and it may not be clear on the phone, are you free Robert, I need your help."

Luo Bai didn't have any twists and turns, he knew that Robert didn't like this.

"Of course I'm free, let's have a drink tonight, I'll find a place.

But wait for me to make a chair and save it......"

"Wouldn't you, you're really playing Hollow Knight?! I thought you were making me laugh! ”

Luo Bai exclaimed.

"Oh my God, Luo, what are you kidding, of course I'm playing the Hollow Knight, it's so much better than I thought, hell, it's just too hard."

"But challenging yourself makes you stronger, doesn't it?"

"Yes, you're right, like you're going to venture into 3D next."

The banquet in the evening was very pleasant, and after learning about some of the internal situations in the magic industry from Luo Bai's mouth, Robert promised Luo Bai that he would definitely find out the specific flow of Anchai's private work as soon as possible and get evidence.

For a while, it can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.

In this matter, Luo Bai was not embarrassed with Robert.

Networking is something that needs to be used at a critical time.

And the reason why Robert did his best to help him was because he saw the huge potential contained in him.

Both sides have what they want, and it's a win-win.

After the dinner with Robert, Luo Bai got on the plane back to the magic industrial lair.

After a simple sleep on the plane, when I got off the plane, it was already dawn.

Luo Bai's comeback once again won the welcome of all the employees of Magic Industry led by An Chai, at least on the surface.

greeted An Chai, the two parties came to the office, An Chai, closed the door gently, but there was still such a disapproving relief on his face.

"Ann Chase."

An Chai, who was called by Luo Bai, nodded lightly:

"BOSS, MAY I CALL ME TO THE OFFICE, IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG?"

This time, Luo Bai was also not patient, staring straight to the point with An Chai's eyes and asking:

"An Chase, I heard from Andrew that you are secretly using the company's resources to do some private work, and because of this, you have delayed the normal operation of the company's business, I want to ask, is there such a thing?"

For Luo Bai's questioning, An Chai's face did not have the slightest fluster, he just pretended to be puzzled:

"Boss, what are you talking about? I don't understand. ”

"Then let's be when you don't know about it."

Luo Bai sat on the boss's chair, crossed his hands and looked at the stubborn guy in front of him,

"I know why you hate me, it's nothing more than in Andrew's hands, you can make some small moves unscrupulously, he is afraid that this will affect him to get rid of the magic industry, and although he doesn't make much, he still has to earn, so he turns a blind eye to your behavior.

But my takeover will undoubtedly bring certain variables to your current good life. ”

"BOSS, your unwarranted speculation is an insult to my personality, if you still say that, I think I'll sue you!"

An Chai had a cold face, and expressed great anger at Luo Bai's "slander".

"Let's talk about other topics, An Chase, about the future business aspects of Magic Industry."

Luo Bai stared at An Chai's eyes several times, raised them high, and gently let go of the topic.

Now Robert's side is still collecting evidence, and he can't take the guy in front of him without evidence.

An Chai's face turned slightly pale, and he changed a smile again:

"Boss, what do you command?"

"In the future, Magic Industry will cut all outsourcing business for the outside world, and from now on, it will only be responsible for docking with my 'Chuxin Game Studio' in Yanguo, and Modong Industry will be regarded as the 3D business production department of Chuxin Game Studio.

In addition, recently, Chuxin Game Studio will have a 3D game project coming out, and Magic Industry needs to complete the game development needs in the second half of this year, and even the whole year next year. ”

Luo Bai's calm elaboration made An Chai's face change.

Yes, that's the real reason why he hates Luo Bai's acquisition of Magic.

It's not just Luo Bai, he hates all the guys who want to buy Magic Industries.

Because these guys will definitely bring an impact to the good thing that he is hiding in the dark and sneaking around to make money, he needs to make money.

"Boss, are we moving a little too fast?

With all due respect, at present, there is no formal communication between Magic Industry and your Chuxin Game Studio in Yanguo, and it will take time for the two sides to cooperate with each other.

Isn't it a bit bad to cut all the outsourcing business directly in a hurry? ”

Ann Chai gave a convincing enough reason.

Cooperation is cooperation, but outsourcing business cannot be lost.

"It doesn't matter."

Luo Bai calmly looked at An Chai in front of him,

β€œI Have Dollar!”

Falk Squid!

An Chai had already greeted Luo Bai's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart at this moment.

If you really cut down all the outsourcing business, and then directly declare that you will never do it again, what am I going to eat?

He had a cold face:

"If you are so authoritarian as boss, I have nothing to say, I can only say that this is not the working environment I want, and I feel that there is no future at all in working in such an unfree working environment.

Please allow me to resign. ”

Resign? Is this angry talk? Or do you want to threaten me to retreat?

But how could it be possible to get you to quit? Your mouth is full of oil behind your back, how can you run away so easily if you don't send it in?

"I hope you can still think about it......"

The sudden softening of Luo Bai's words relieved An Chai, who had just been a little unscrupulous because of the anger surging.

He was really afraid that Luo Bai would just resign him without hesitation, at least for now, there is still the possibility of talks between the two sides.

Having said that, the two sides didn't have much desire to chat, Luo Bai just waved his hand, and An Chai also left the office with interest.

Luo Bai asked An to chase back and think about it, and things seemed to have eased up.

But all this is just the calm before the storm, and secretly there may be some kind of rough waves.

Luo Bai, who was sitting in the office, touched the ceramic body armor he was wearing, leaned back against the sofa chair and thought about the other party's reaction next.
