Chapter 62 The First Bucket of Gold 2

  "Two hundred thousand RMB, and it's after tax!" Zheng Zhi Chen slowly said out the price for Liu Yi Fei.

  Twenty thousand yuan in '94, although not a lot of money, is still quite a bit for an idea, especially when it's a high school student. Zheng Zhi Chen has every reason to believe that if he mentions this price, Liu Yi Fei will be shocked and quickly agree.

  Wang Tian was also smiling at Liu Yifei, the price was what he and Zheng Zhi had discussed earlier, and they thought it was enough to move Liu Yifei, just waiting for Liu Yifei's expected reaction.

  It's just that when you have great confidence in something, the reality often strikes you mercilessly. Liu Yi Fei's current expression was a testament to this phrase. He smiled faintly and said: "Twenty thousand, it looks not bad, but for your game, using my creativity to make up for your shortcomings should at least increase its value by twenty percent. I estimate that the revenue of your game will be at least one hundred million yuan, and twenty percent of that would be the value brought in by my creativity, which is about two million yuan. You're only giving me twenty thousand... isn't this a bit disproportionate?"

  Wang Tian and Zheng Zhi Chen were both extremely surprised, Zheng Zhi Chen subconsciously picked up his wine glass and brought it to his mouth, without even realizing that the glass was empty, and said: "Do you think our game will make so much money?"

  "Not bad!" Liu Yifei didn't know how much Da Yu company had made from the Xian Xia Qi Xia Chuan, but he knew that at that time, Xian Jian Qi Xia Chuan had touched the hearts of countless players, and its sales record had dominated the charts for two years, so it must have made a lot of money. And as someone who had been reborn, he didn't know how these modern people would know either. He smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the gameplay of your game is very simple. If we only talk about the gameplay, there's nothing particularly attractive about it. I think this is also the reason why you haven't released it yet. But if you add my story to it, I think your game will definitely be extremely successful."

  "The most important thing about a game is its gameplay, the storyline is just some words, how many people will go and watch?" Wang Tian once again expressed a different view, but it was not sarcastic, but rather a genuine disagreement with Liu Yifei's idea.

  Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a way to maximize his own interests. He clenched his fist, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, and said slowly: "I think it's better this way now. I don't want much either, just 500,000 yuan from you guys. However, after the game is released, if players like the game because of its storyline, you have to pay me a 5% royalty. But if they like the game because of its gameplay, then you don't need to pay me another penny."

  Liu Yifei's estimate of the game's revenue just now left both of them stunned, and at this time, neither of them felt surprised by Liu Yifei's sudden proposal of 50,000 yuan. Or rather, 50,000 yuan was already within their expectations, it's just that they had suppressed the price at the beginning, and now they have different opinions on the share proposed by Liu Yifei.

  Zheng Zhi Chen thought for a moment and said: "This point is really too vague, in the end we can't define it clearly, and it's easy to cause disputes later."

  Liu Yifei smiled faintly and said, "I am my own condition, you can consider it, and I also have a more suitable story for your development. If this cooperation goes smoothly, I will continue to cooperate with you in the future." This is not bragging, as Liu Yifei had played several games produced by Dayu Company afterwards, so he could naturally provide them with help.

  "This...". Zheng Zhi Chen and Wang Tian exchanged a glance, saying: "This requires us to consider it carefully, and this involves the distribution of dividends later on. We really can't make an immediate decision."

  "Hmm, I'm in no hurry." Liu Yifei remained extremely calm.

  "Then... can you show us your lower half now?" Wang Tian had been itching to ask this for a long time and brought it up again.

  "Alright!" Liu Yifei handed several more sheets of letter paper to Wang Tian. With things having reached this point, Liu Yifei also knew that he should give them the final bait, and he completely believed that his story would move them thoroughly.

  Wang Tian took the letter and immediately began reading it with Zheng Zhi Chen. As they read on, their excitement grew, as if they were deeply intoxicated. When they reached the last page, both of their eyes had become slightly red-rimmed, and for a long time, they couldn't bear to put down the letter.

  Zheng Zhi Chen shook his head, trying to calm down his emotions, and said: "I have to say, your story is really touching, it's simply thrilling, truly not inferior to a thrilling novel. I couldn't think of how you could write such a great story, the most important thing is that it fits perfectly with our game, it's really too wonderful."

  Wang Tian nodded and said sincerely: "Liu brother, now I really admire you. Our several planners put together can't come up with such a moving story, but you alone are better than all of us combined. If you can join our Da Yu, it will be the luck of our Da Yu."

  Liu Yifei smiled slightly, feeling a bit proud and also a bit embarrassed. If in his past life he had received such attention from the Dayu company, he would have been thrilled to death. But now it was all just because of the golden finger of rebirth, not because of any ability on his part. "I'm still a student, studying is my top priority."

  "That's quite a pity, however..." Wang Tian changed the subject and said: "Isn't this ending too tragic? If you set a grand reunion as the ending, don't you think it would be better?"

  Liu Yifei had given careful consideration to this ending. Although he was also disappointed with the ending when playing the game, it was precisely this disappointment that allowed him to savor the thrilling emotions endlessly. After the release of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the reaction caused by the ending was huge. If changed, Liu Yifei couldn't be certain if there would still be such an effect. He shook his head firmly and said: "I think this ending has more impact, it will make Zhao Ling'er's character clearer and more unforgettable. What I provide is just my idea, as for how much you adopt, that's your business."

  Liu Yifei believes that in the end, this game will still follow its original path, and his own appearance is just a repetition of the creation process of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but the beneficiary is one more person - himself.
