A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 504 Talking about Cooperation

After receiving Shanda's official reply email and the contact information left, Lu Cheng directly deleted the account he created and cleared all previous traces, as if the account he created had never appeared.

This action was to express his sincerity and to clear the traces. It was also to tell Shanda officials that he could invade their database at any time and add or delete information at will.

Two days later, Lu Cheng asked for leave from his counselor and took a bus to Shanda's headquarters in Shanghai.

We set out in the morning, took a few hours' drive, arrived in Shanghai at noon, found a place to fill our stomach, and arrived at Shanda's headquarters in the afternoon.

After he gave his name, a receptionist came soon and led Lu Cheng upstairs. There was no scene of the security guard looking down on others.

However, when the receptionist saw Lu Cheng, even though they were prepared, they were still a little surprised by Lu Cheng's youth.

Following the secretary all the way to the office of Shanda's boss Chen, I saw a man in his thirties, slightly fat, wearing a black suit, sitting in the boss's chair, looking down at a document in front of him.

"Chairman, Mr. Lu Cheng is here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianqiao looked up and glanced at Lu Cheng, then smiled and said, "You look very young, I heard you just started college?"

"Boss Chen is also very young. He is less than 30 years old, but he has created an online gaming miracle, making an online game popular across the country and even the world."

Hearing this, Chen Tianqiao was slightly stunned. He looked at Lu Cheng again and found that the young man in front of him did not seem to be an ordinary college student. Instead, he looked like an experienced old man. His aura was even stronger than that of himself, the high-spirited boss.

Boss Chen, who originally wanted to use his years of business experience to intimidate the other party and find out what the other party wanted, gave up the idea at this moment: "I heard that Mr. Lu studied architecture, but I didn't expect that he is so proficient in computers. Can you tell me how you developed this plug-in?"

Lu Cheng laughed and said, "Boss Chen, there are many loopholes in the Legend game, and it is normal for cheats to appear. For a popular online game, the appearance of cheats is also inevitable. In fact, as the Legend game becomes more and more popular and the number of online players increases, the rare equipment in the game will become more and more valuable.

When someone starts spending money on a piece of equipment or a magic book in the game, middlemen will naturally appear, and there will naturally be a demand for plug-ins. If your company does not take precautions early, once plug-ins are allowed to run rampant, it will inevitably affect the balance of the game and even cause the legendary game to lose some users. I don’t think I need to elaborate on this, right? "

Boss Chen nodded: "We will naturally consider these. So, Mr. Lu is here to sell game patches?"

"You can say that. If Boss Chen is sincere enough, maybe we can have other cooperation. God always favors the first person to try something new. Boss Chen seized the opportunity of online games and naturally enjoyed the first wave of dividends brought by online games. But I think Shanda's future strategic deployment will definitely not rely solely on a single legendary game..."

Seeing that Lu Cheng did not talk about business, but instead talked about the future development and strategic deployment of Shanda Group, and what he said was basically consistent with Boss Chen's vision for the future, he was a little surprised.

In the past two days, Chen Tianqiao specifically asked someone to inquire about information about Lu Cheng. He learned that Lu Cheng's parents died when he was 16, and he lived alone. He successfully got admitted to Tokyo University. He even learned that Lu Cheng was selling paintings on the street.

Before Lu Cheng arrived, Chen Tianqiao guessed that this young man would be extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him. This freshman who just entered college was so far-sighted. He didn't look like an 18-year-old young man at all. He was more like a businessman who had been working in the business world for many years and had rich experience and keen vision.

So, after listening to Lu Cheng's words, Chen Tianqiao changed his address: "Mr. Lu, I have to say that your ideas are indeed very advanced. But the legendary game is now in full swing, and it will be a gold mine in the next few years, or even longer. How can you conclude that Shanda is eager to find a new game?"

Lu Cheng laughed and said, "Boss Chen, let's not beat around the bush here. Boss Chen was brave enough to risk everything to get the agency rights of Legend, so he must have a sense of crisis. Since I came here, I sincerely want to cooperate with Shanda Group. Of course, if Boss Chen feels that it is not necessary, I can find someone else.

The door to the online gaming era has been opened, and there is no shortage of speculators following the trend in the market. I believe there will be more people willing to have a chance to share the pie.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Some of your ideas coincide with mine. Even a senior like me who has been in the industry for many years can hardly believe it. Since Mr. Lu has chosen Shanda and Chen, I will certainly not let you down. Let's talk business now?"

Afterwards, Lu Cheng and Boss Chen began to discuss business, which inevitably led to a round of bargaining.

Lu Cheng provided Shanda Games with a complete set of anti-cheating patches, and also brought out a refined KartRider game, which immediately attracted Chen Tianqiao's attention.

Boss Chen quickly discovered the potential value of this game with his unique vision and asked, "How is Mr. Lu going to cooperate? In the form of profit sharing, or directly selling this game to Shanda?"

"If the price offered by Mr. Chen is reasonable, we can sell it directly to Shanda."

Chen Tianqiao clapped his hands and said, "Shanda Group is willing to buy out this game for 500,000 yuan."

Lu Cheng chuckled: "As far as I know, your company spent 30 US dollars to represent Legend. Boss Chen must know better than me how much profit this game has created for your company. , isn't that too insincere?"

"Legend is a large-scale game, and this KartRider is at most just a casual game. It has not yet stood up to market testing. Five hundred thousand is already a high price."

"Then why don't we sign a bet agreement. After KartRider goes online, if the number of online users reaches 500,000 within a year, your company will pay me 4 million. If the number of online users reaches more than 800,000, you will pay me 5 million."

After hearing Lu Cheng's offer, Boss Chen fell silent.

Today's online game market is still a blue ocean. Legend alone occupies 60% of the market, and the rest of the games are not worth worrying about at all.

Although the gameplay of this KartRider is simple and not as complicated as the legendary one, it is extremely playable. It will definitely attract a large number of users after it goes online. With a little operation, it will surely become a big hit.

Now is a good time to seize the market. If Lu Cheng sells this game to other companies, he will definitely take a piece of the market.

Finally, after some bargaining, Lu Cheng sold the game to Shanda for 3.5 million yuan, and also included an upgrade plan for the next three years.

In addition to this game, plus a set of anti-cheating patches that Lu Cheng made for Shanda Group, when Lu Cheng left Shanghai a week later, he already had more than 5 million in cash in his account...
