Damn it! I'm surrounded by them!

"This lady."

"Since you don't agree with our opinion, let's take a look at the contract."

As he spoke, Gu Han pushed the contract in front of the female manager.

Anyway, all that can be taken out are photocopies.

Even if something unexpected happens, don't worry.

"The contract contains the amount we have to pay and also sets out the obligations you have to fulfill."

"On our side, the game will be online in another month."

"After going online, you will not only be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the server, but also for backing up the data of all players in our game."

“Generally speaking, the maintenance cost of a shared server is more than that of a dedicated server.”

"Moreover, after our game goes online, a large number of players will flock in, which will inevitably put considerable pressure on the server."

"In recent years, temporary maintenance has often occurred because the server has been overwhelmed."

"Some games even need maintenance every three days within a month of going online."

Zhou Sheng sat aside, listening quietly to the conversation between Gu Han and the female manager.

It can be seen that Gu Han did some homework.

The gaming industry is completely new and unfamiliar to her. If she wants to deal with related issues well, she must understand the knowledge in the industry.

She doesn't need to be proficient in it, but she should at least understand it.

It is obvious that Gu Han has spent a lot of time and energy on this project behind the scenes.

This also made Zhou Sheng's trust in her soar.

She is serious and responsible when working, and becomes a well-behaved little cutie outside of work.

It's hard not to love a girl like this.

While Zhou Sheng was lost in thought, Gu Han was entering numbers into the calculator on his phone while speaking to the female manager.

"Based on the existing promotion model, we estimate that when the first internal test is launched, about 100,000 people will flock to the game server."

"Based on your current server maintenance and management, as well as the operating environment, it is difficult for you to handle so much traffic."

"And this will also increase your maintenance costs exponentially."

As he spoke, Gu Han wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of white paper.

"This number is my conservative estimate."

"Moreover, these figures do not include the subsequent damage caused by the load capacity of the Wok server, the subsequent data backup, and the compensation paid by other users."

The female manager took a look at the number and her eyes widened instantly.

"so much?!"

Gu Han smiled and nodded.

"As I said earlier, this is a conservative estimate."

"After the actual launch, your maintenance costs will only be more than this."

"If an accident occurs during the process, this number may increase several times."

After Gu Han said this, the female manager was obviously shaken.

She knows best the server's carrying capacity.

One hundred thousand traffic is absolutely fatal to those old servers that are already half buried in the ground.

If things go wrong, it might be burned out on the day the server is launched.

Electricity bills, maintenance fees, and compensation for possible data loss after overload operation.

The female manager did a simple calculation in her mind.

Then, the number was three times more than the number on the paper.

The rental fees that Gusheng Software paid them only barely covered this figure.

Just as Gu Han said, if an accident happens, they will most likely have to pay compensation.

In the gaming industry, especially for those who rent servers, accidents happen every day and have almost become a daily routine.

Thinking of this, the female manager began to frown.

Chapter 87: The Next Target, Theme Song

"This lady."

"We have considered various factors and decided to give up this cooperation."

"Of course, since Gusheng Software was the first to breach the contract, we will pay you a corresponding amount of liquidated damages."

"You don't need to bear any risks, nor do you need to invest any subsequent manpower or material resources, and you can get such a generous penalty."

"If I were you, I would choose to give up the contract."

Done.

Gu Han put her legs together and elegantly tilted them to the side at a small angle.

Then he sat up straight, turned the paper with the numbers he had written on it around, and pushed it in front of the female person in charge.

"Please think about it carefully and decide what to choose."

"It is to continue this cooperation which has a high probability of losing money and bear the corresponding risks."

"Or should I just step on the brakes in time and accept the penalty at no cost?"

The female head is no longer as domineering as before.

He picked up the contract and looked at the number given by Gu Han.

Leaning back in the soft chair, he read through the contents again and again, calculating all the possible losses behind each risk.

Then, he wrote some numbers on the paper.

After finally summing up, they came up with an astronomical figure that the female manager could not afford no matter what.

After putting down the contract.

The female manager narrowed her eyes, thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision.

She sighed and asked her employees to draft a contract to cancel the cooperation.

He shrugged and said to Gu Han.

"you win."

"When the contract is brought over later, you can take a look at it."

"No problem, we can sign."

Gu Han smiled like a flower and spoke in her clear and pleasant voice.

"Haha, you're welcome."

“Although the business world has always advocated the so-called zero-sum game.”

"But I believe that cooperation is the eternal core of business."

"After all, no matter how capable a person is, it's impossible for him to be proficient in everything in the world."

"Every profession has its own specialization. If any company wants to go long-term, it will eventually have to cooperate deeply with people in the corresponding field."

"Although we didn't cooperate this time, as long as we are still in this field, there will definitely be opportunities again."

"On behalf of Gusheng Software, I sincerely hope that we will continue to cooperate one day in the future."

After saying that, Gu Han stretched out his right hand.

The female person in charge smiled bitterly, shrugged, and shook the hand back.

"Little girl, you are very eloquent despite your young age."

“The future is unpredictable.”

Gu Han replied with a smile.

"You are too kind."

------

After canceling the contract, Gu Han got back 40% of the deposit for Gu Sheng Software.

That is 40,000 yuan.

Although this amount of money is not much for a game project, even a little bit of money still counts.

These 40,000 yuan were a small addition to the already tight funds.

Of course, the most important thing is that behind these 40,000 yuan lies Gu Han’s work ability.

After pushing the door and leaving, the two people smiled at each other.

"Master, how did I perform?"

"I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Zhou Sheng was very satisfied with Gu Han.

At the same time, he secretly thanked Jian Ning for giving him such an excellent assistant.

“It’s beyond my imagination.”

"When the female manager talked to me just now, she was arrogant and had no intention of communicating at all."

"But as soon as you made a move, her attitude immediately softened."

"It's amazing."

"I always thought that you were only good at those big-time number games. I didn't expect that such a difficult person would be dealt with by you in the end."

Gu Han was very pleased with Zhou Sheng's praise.

His eyes narrowed into beautiful crescents and his body couldn't help but sway with joy.

"Hehe~"

"I am your apprentice."

"The master is so outstanding, how could the disciple be bad?"

As he spoke, Gu Han did not forget to rub Zhou Sheng gently.

Then he continued.

"Besides, this matter is not actually your problem."

"When I was in Yinshan, I met people with all kinds of personalities."

"There is a group of people who don't like to communicate with men and question their professionalism."

"Compared to men, they prefer to communicate with women who are well-dressed and well-spoken."

“And the woman in charge is just such a person.”

"Later, I also asked Yinshan's leader. People like this are likely to have been betrayed by men, or hurt by men when they were young."

"In short, there are many reasons that lead to this kind of personality."

"I saw what she was thinking, so I came forward to negotiate."

“Seeing that she had a good impression of me, I was able to successfully drag the situation into a profit and loss in terms of numbers.”

Zhou Sheng is becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Han.

Unexpectedly, she, who looks innocent and cute, is actually so experienced in observing people's expressions.

Is this the talent that comes out of Yinshan?

Perhaps, there are many advantages in her that Zhou Sheng has not had time to discover.

It won’t be too late to discover it slowly in the days to come.
