Chapter 514

Shi Yuzhu frowned and looked at Liu Wei, asking, "How do we sell it? What do you think?"

"He Jinrui's resume looks quite impressive, which is his greatest value." Liu Wei explained, "Think about it, he is a producer who came from Qin Shaoyan's team. He participated in the development of the "Warring States" project and is familiar with the entire process from project establishment to launch."

"He switched to our company and participated in the revision of ZT. Now ZT is doing pretty well. There will definitely be people interested in this kind of resume."

Shi Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. "It was him who ruined "Zhengtu". The subsequent revisions were made by someone else. What does it have to do with him?"

"But other people don't know." Liu Wei pointed out the key point of the matter, "Wouldn't it be enough if we just tell the public that 'Zhengtu' was his contribution?"

"What is the most lacking thing in the gaming industry right now? Talent!"

"For a gold medal producer like him who has produced two big projects, there will definitely be people vying for him." Liu Wei showed a meaningful smile, "Then we can just sell his company. Wouldn't that solve a problem and also recover the funds?"

Shi Yuzhu's eyes lit up. He felt that if this matter was handled well, he could not only recover his investment but also make a profit.

He Jinrui messed up his "Zhengtu" which made him extremely unhappy. Now he has to praise this "weirdo" for money. He feels particularly unhappy when he thinks about it.

However, Shi Yuzhu is an excellent businessman after all, and he knows what is important. Personal emotions are useless when it comes to making money.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Shi Yuzhu thought for a moment, "The key is whether He Jinrui can cooperate?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Shi." Liu Wei said confidently, "This matter will only benefit He Jinrui and not harm him. It's a win-win situation. He will definitely not undermine his own plan."

Shi Yuzhu nodded and warned, "Be sure to keep it confidential. Remember to tell He Jinrui to keep his mouth shut and don't let him reveal the secret."

“Also, buyers must choose carefully, especially those with deep pockets.”

"Well, this matter really needs to be carefully considered." Liu Wei nodded.

Now domestic game companies are emerging one after another, and the developed game market has spawned several large companies.

Some companies integrate R&D and operations, such as Sentinel Technologies, NetEase, Perfect World, Sohu Changyou, Giant, and Kingsoft.

Some companies are agent operators, such as Shanda, Penguin, 9you, NetDragon, and Century Tiancheng.

In addition to these large companies, there are also many small and medium-sized companies, but they are not strong and have limited funds.

Even if I'm interested, I can't afford much money.

"Shanda has now shifted its focus from games to selling boxes. I'm afraid they won't be interested in He Jinrui's game company. Besides, they are both agents and have their own research and development." Liu Wei thought for a while, "Those companies that integrate R&D and operations... exclude Sentinel Technology first."

He Jinrui came out of Sentinel Technology, so it is naturally impossible to let him go back. Qin Shaoyan has a very sharp eye.

He may have known that this person was a scammer and that's why he let him out.

"Perfect World and Kingsoft are not strong yet, and they both have their own flagship products, so the purchasing desire is not strong." Shi Yuzhu also added, "What about NetEase?"

"I'm afraid NetEase will find out the flaw." Liu Wei hesitated. "Ding Lei has many capable people under him. I'm afraid He Jinrui can't fool them."

"Then we'll get rid of NetEase," Shi Yuzhu said decisively. "What about Penguin, Sohu, Sina, and The9?"

"Sohu and Qin Shaoyan are very close, and they have products made by Qin Shaoyan. As for 9you... they have made a lot of money from World of Warcraft, so they can give it a try." Liu Wei thought for a while, "In fact, Penguin and Sina are quite suitable."

"Penguin wants to try every project, and it has sufficient funds and users, while Sina is so hungry that it will do anything."

Shi Yuzhu made the decision first, "Let's try Penguin first, and then look at Sina. I'm afraid Sina can't come up with so much money. They just had a bloody battle with Qin Shaoyan and their vitality was greatly damaged."

Speaking of this, Shi Yuzhu was puzzled. It seemed that Qin Shaoyan was everywhere. This guy was really a nuisance.

He gets very angry when he mentions Qin Shaoyan. The last time that Qin Shaoyan squeezed out "Zhengtu", the game was postponed, which gave the other party the opportunity to make a lot of money and even went public directly.

This year, Qin Shaoyan created Weibo, which became the largest and most popular social platform in China, and crushed its predecessor Sina.

The former first Internet company to be listed in the United States did not live up to the expectations. It did not even last half a year and simply surrendered.

Why are you so depressed after not seeing you for a few days?
You have to regain the momentum you had in the past.

Don't be scared, continue to fight with Qin Shaoyan.

"Then let's go with Penguin." Liu Wei also agreed, "We should also sell this company for 100 or 200 million."

Shi Yuzhu smiled when he heard this. "After the sale, I'll use the money to buy YP Technology. This plan is perfect."

Liu Wei also laughed, feeling that his plan was absolutely perfect.

……

At eleven o'clock in the morning, He Jinrui, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was woken up by a phone call.

"Mr. He, Vice President Liu from Giant Network is here. He wants to see you." A panicked voice came from the phone, "Please come quickly."

He Jinrui hung up the phone in annoyance, looked up at the clock on the wall, and felt quite unhappy.

But the other party was his financial sponsor, the vice president of Giant Network, so he couldn't neglect him. He struggled to get up, washed, and hurried to the company.

Liu Wei saw He Jinrui coming late, with no unhappy expression on his face, and asked kindly: "Boss He, did you work overtime again last night?"

"The project is time-sensitive and the task is heavy, so we have to work harder." He Jinrui said with a smile, "Our company's corporate culture is about hard work. Those who don't want to work overtime can't integrate into our team."

Liu Wei smiled. He was familiar with He Jinrui's style. He was the type who worked hard to perform.

Other project teams work 007 hours a day with one day off, but He Jinrui directly stated that we work hours a day without a day off, and work more than twelve hours a day.

He once set a record of not leaving get off work for five days. Except for going to the toilet, he ate and slept at his workstation.

The employees really worked so hard that Liu Wei was stunned. When it came to selling the company, he couldn't bear to part with these good employees.

However, when he thought of He Jinrui, he immediately regained his determination to sell the company.

Because whether the team works overtime or how long they work has nothing to do with He Jinrui. He has a flexible working system and can come and leave as he pleases.

In a euphemistic way, the producer just needs to grasp the direction.

The two entered He Jinrui's office. After they sat down, Liu Wei said directly: "I came to see you this time about your performance in the "Zhengtu" project."

He Jinrui was shocked and immediately felt guilty. He knew very well how "Zhengtu" performed. Now Liu Wei came to him probably to hold him accountable.

However, He Jinrui acted very confident, as if he had nothing to do with "Zhengtu".

"Mr. Liu, "Zhengtu" is performing very well now, and my efforts have not been in vain." He Jinrui said confidently, "I don't know how the bonus is calculated." Liu Wei was shocked when he heard this. How dare you ask for a bonus?

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Liu Wei couldn't hold it in any longer and said with a gloomy face: "What does the success of 'Zhengtu' have to do with you? It was revised by Lin Haixiao and Yue Tao."

"How did the version you were responsible for perform during the first internal test? All the players left in less than a month."

"What does this have to do with me?" He Jinrui immediately defended, "I strongly opposed your summer test, but you didn't listen to me, and now you blame me."

"Summer is the season when users are most active, so it's the best time for testing." Liu Wei laughed angrily, "If not summer, when is it?"

He Jinrui said confidently, "It is precisely because the summer season is the golden season and there are too many competitors that we lose too many users. It is obviously the market that is not doing well. How can you blame me?"

"How do you explain the game test data?" Liu Wei asked, "Why did the economic system collapse so quickly?"

"What does this have to do with me?" He Jinrui's eyes widened, as if he was wronged. "At that time, Lin Haixiao and Yue Tao each had their own opinions. The economic system they planned conflicted with my design concept. Those numerical planners didn't listen to me and messed around. There was no problem with the numerical formula I gave."

"..." Liu Wei was somewhat speechless. "Then tell me, why is the test data of "Zhengtu" so bad in your hands?"

"There are many reasons for this." He Jinrui regained his previous confidence and began to analyze seriously, "First of all, in terms of teamwork, the planning team of "Zhengtu" was resistant to me and secretly disobeyed me in terms of execution. The chief planner and producer did not agree with my ideas, which resulted in many of my designs not being implemented."

"Secondly, the programmers' skills were too poor, and there were several major downtime incidents, which resulted in a very poor gaming experience for players."

“Third, the game engine was used improperly and did not fully demonstrate the efficiency of the engine.”

"Fourth, the level of the art team is too poor. What kind of team did I lead at Sentinel Technology? They all had 3A-level art. The art team at Giant Network is several levels lower. How can you compete with others?"

Liu Wei nodded. "You said it very well. I didn't realize you have this talent."

"But you know exactly what happened."

"This is not my problem..." He Jinrui retorted subconsciously.

"If you keep quibbling, I will immediately have the entire gaming industry ban you." Liu Wei said angrily, "Do you want to try? We at Giant Network can still do this."

He Jinrui seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the look of grievance and unwillingness on his face was clearly revealed.

After a moment of silence, Liu Wei suddenly said, "But considering that we are working together, we are not ignorant of the ways of the world."

"As long as you agree to our conditions, we will not hold you responsible, and we can also help you make some money."

He Jinrui was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "What conditions?"

"We at Giant Network will not continue to invest in your company." Liu Wei said lightly.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. He Jinrui was stunned. If you don't invest, what can I gain? "Didn't we agree on this before? We have an agreement?"

"You're anxious again." Liu Wei said slowly, "Although we won't inject capital, we can help you attract investment."

"To attract investment?" He Jinrui was a little surprised. "Which company?"

"It's Penguin." Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Penguin is a platform that is enough to display your talents."

He Jinrui suddenly became excited, "Boss Liu, what do you need me to do?"

"We will publicize that the success of the 'Zhengtu' project is all due to you. You just need to cooperate with this statement when the time comes. I don't need to teach you the rest." Liu Wei glanced at him.

He Jinrui was immediately overjoyed. What a good thing!

This is a way to gild myself with endorsement, and my status in the gaming industry will rise like a rocket.

"There is a price to pay for us endorsing you," Liu Wei said afterwards.

He Jinrui immediately knew that the real drama was about to begin, but he didn't know what conditions the other party would offer, so he cautiously asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"You still have 51% of the company's shares, right? Take out % and give it to Giant Network." Liu Wei said calmly, "It's a free transfer. Do you agree?"

Isn't this a steal?
Before He Jinrui could say anything, Liu Wei added coldly, "Either be banned or transfer your shares. Think about it yourself."

"We don't want your shares for nothing. We will help you increase the valuation of your company."

He Jinrui's expression changed constantly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"

……

Liu Wei acted quickly and quickly got in touch with Penguin, expressing that he had a gold medal game production team ready to sell.

Penguin was very surprised after investigating this R&D team, because judging from their resumes, this R&D team was of very high quality.

The backbone members of the team participated in the development of "Warring States OL" throughout the whole process. The revision of "Zhengtu" was also the work of this team. Such a team with achievements, technology and experience is hard to find.

Ren Yuxin, who is in charge of game affairs at Penguin, flew directly to Shanghai and conducted face-to-face research on the R&D team.

After chatting with producer He Jinrui, Ren Yuxin felt that this person was indeed talented and had a lot to say, worthy of being taught by Qin Shaoyan.

Ren Yuxin thought this team was worth buying, so he discussed the price with Liu Wei, "How much does Giant Network want before you are willing to part with it?"

Liu Wei sighed, "If it weren't for the company's strategic adjustment, we really wouldn't be willing to let this team go. We spent a lot of money to snatch this team from Qin Shaoyan."

It cost Shi Yuzhu a lot to poach the author of "Heroic Era" at the beginning. Later, the people who poached Qin Shaoyan also made a big fuss. Giant Network spent a lot of money to buy the VIP version of the game engine, so that Qin Shaoyan would not pursue the matter.

"How about this, 90% of the company's shares, you give me 180 million." Liu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "This is as low as it can be."

"One hundred and fifty million." Ren Yuxin was also very happy, "As long as you agree, we can sign the contract soon."

"make a deal!"

Both parties were happy with the deal. Penguin felt that it had acquired a gold medal R&D team, while Shi Yuzhu got rid of a burden and gained a large amount of funds.

With money in hand and more confidence, Liu Wei met with Liu Yuanrui again and proposed to buy shares of YP Technology.

Liu Yuanrui was now faced with a dilemma: should he choose South Korea's NHN or Giant Network?

After much hesitation, he decided to ask Qin Shaoyan for his opinion.
