Shadow Weaver

Chapter 61: Recognition is important in the start-up phase
Something that cost so much money must be able to fool Xiaobai and the others, she closed her eyes in happiness, ahaha.

Xu Yichi comforted himself in this way, and floated into the seat like a soul.

At that time, Bai Miaomiao and the other person had already obtained the contract that Lan Xuesheng had arranged in advance, and were quietly exchanging their opinions on the contract.

Lan Xuesheng saw the little girl drifting down from her seat in a daze, and handed her a new contract: "Xiao Xu, do you want to take a look at the contract too?"

"Ah? I... Ms. Lan, I really don't understand this." Xu Yichi pursed his lips. Having said that, he still honestly took the small stack of medium-thick paper pages in his hand.

"It's okay, just take a look!" Lan Xuesheng smiled and took a sip of tea. "I think the contract I wrote is quite simple and clear. Even if you can't understand it all, you can probably understand about 80% to 90% of it."

"I'm afraid that even if I understand 80% or 90% of it... I still can't figure out what's written in it." Xu Yichi complained to herself in a low voice. She had done similar work before - after all, when it comes to details, her brain can only make games, and she can't really turn around anything else.

However...the contract signed by Ms. Lan was indeed more honest than those she had seen before.

As expected of him being their idol, ahaha!
Xu Dazuo simply flipped through the papers and frowned subconsciously, with a hint of surprise flashing uncontrollably in his pupils.

Many of the clauses in the contract were clearly giving them concessions, and the last time she saw something that was clearly giving them concessions...

Uh, sorry, she had never seen such concessions before.

After reading the contract, Xu Yichi was confused. An Qing and the other man read all the terms on the paper word by word, and they also couldn't help but look confused.

After the two of them looked at each other and exchanged glances several times, it was Bai Miaomiao who spoke first. The usually smiling girl in Hanfu now had a complicated expression on her face, and her face was wrinkled.

"...Ms. Lan, are you sure you really want to write this in the contract?" Bai Miaomiao hesitated to speak, and the hand hidden under the table almost tore An Qing's trouser leg.

"What's wrong? Miss Bai, do you have any other suggestions for revising this contract?" Lan Xuesheng smiled, "If you have any opinions, feel free to ask - after all, this is a collaboration between me and your studio in my personal capacity, so I don't have to consider the opinions of those bastards in the company."

"No, we just think this contract is a bit too honest." Bai Miaomiao shook her head sincerely, "You gave us a lot of concessions... so much that there is almost no profit left for you."

"To be honest, this doesn't conform to the rules of general business cooperation... Your temperament is also different from the brand managers we have contacted before."

——The brands their studio had previously dealt with were even small and unknown brands, but those people were so eager to skin them alive in the contract... What's worse, some of them even asked for 285,000 yuan from beginning to end, and their noses were so high in the sky.

"This makes us... a little uncomfortable." An Qing added tactfully, "So, Ms. Lan, would you really not consider modifying the contract a little bit?"

"We feel uneasy holding such a huge investment that we got for free."

——At least you should get more share, otherwise they will be really scared watching you.

An Qing pursed his lips and silently used his hands to rescue his pants that were about to be torn. Lan Xuesheng heard this and bent her eyebrows without changing her expression: "It's okay, no need to change it, just sign this contract boldly - just regard it as my initial investment in your studio." "Initial investment?" Bai Miaomiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this unexpectedly, and the woman nodded in response: "Yes."

"Put it this way, Miss White."

"The average age of your studio's employees is only about 21 or 22 years old - you can't possibly only make this one game in the future, right?"

"This contract is my expression of sincerity to your studio. It is the advance deposit for our second or even third cooperation in the future." Lan Xuesheng blinked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Next time there is such a job of composing music for intangible cultural heritage games, I will come again."

"——We can then sign a proper commercial contract. This time I'll give it to you as a gift. I'll consider it as supporting young people in starting their own businesses... and it'll be a way for me to get back to my younger self."

"You may have heard of Yunse, a zither maker. He entered the industry at the age of sixteen, but quit at the age of eighteen. He wasted eight years outside and returned to the zither world at the age of twenty-six with 'Lansheng'." Lan Xuesheng said sincerely while holding the teacup, "I can see that you are all girls with ideas."

"I don't want to see you being delayed for a few more years because of these little setbacks like I was back then."

"Besides, in the start-up phase... it is very important to gain the understanding and recognition of others - I don't know if anyone has expressed sincere recognition to you before, but at least I really appreciate your game settings."

"That's fine..." After hearing this, Bai Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and gave An Qing an "ok" look, "Then Ms. Lan, let's talk about cooperation next time. You can't force us to make concessions like you did today."

“——Although our Dream Maker is small in scale, we are not a studio that likes to take advantage of others.”

——They are serious people.

Bai Miaomiao tilted her head, and An Qing, who was standing beside her, received instructions and immediately took out the official seal, ink pad, and pen that he carried with him.

Seeing this, Xu Yichi was extremely puzzled as to why her chief planner and financial officer carried all these things with him. However, Lord An didn't want to pay any attention to her. She just signed the two contracts quickly and pushed them in front of Lan Xuesheng along with the ink pad and pen.

"Wow! Young people are so efficient at work." Lan Xuesheng sighed casually while leaning his head on his hand, and his subordinates were not vague at all when signing.

Later, the two copies of the contract were stuffed into two file bags in front of everyone. The woman handed the copy belonging to the Dream Collection to An Qing who brought the bag, and then put her own copy away in the drawer.

"Okay, I'll take this contract and file it when I return to the company in two days." Lan Xuesheng put away the things and clapped her hands lightly, "But we have accomplished such a big thing today, we should have some celebration ceremony."

"Or else..." She said as she slowly looked around the entire piano store, and finally stopped at the two small wooden gift boxes over there -

"Let's cut the mooncakes Comrade Shanji sent!" The woman flexed her wrists, eager to try.

"It just so happens that I want to try what kind of fillings he has in his pancakes this year!"

　There are so many people in the library during the holidays.
