I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Please have some tea!" the front desk lady of the lsp team placed three cups of coffee on the table.

It took nearly two hours, but Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi had tried out all 14 games, and what was most distinctive was that these 14 games not only had PC versions but also mobile versions. Moreover, as they were all implemented through VR glasses, aside from different platforms, all the data and gameplay were completely interoperable.

This completely solved the current market issue where computer and mobile game data couldn't be synchronized, and it was nothing short of a groundbreaking innovation.

In this way, they not only occupied the PC gaming market but could also engage in fierce competition in the mobile gaming market.

It was simply the embryonic form of a massive gaming empire!

"President Zhang, we're very curious as to why you would choose to partner with us?" This seemed like a pie falling from the sky, and even now Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"It's simple, because you have the capability to maximize the value of a game," Zhang Menglong said.

In terms of game operations, Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi both had a wealth of experience, and Zhang Menglong's team just happened to be in need of such talent, which is why he chose to share this plan with the two of them.

"But the most important point is this, both of you are from Huaxia, and our goals align, it's that simple!"

"How much is the agency fee for the games?" Ma Hua asked with a serious tone.

It came down to the most critical issue. Zhang Menglong had chosen them as game operators, and to put it nicely they were operators, but more critically, they'd become instruments for Zhang Menglong's profit-making.

In reality, within the relationship between game developers and operators, the developers usually hold a more passive position.

The reason is simple, a good game that nobody buys is worthless! Why are players willing to spend money and 'Krypton Gold'? The presence of operators is indispensable.

According to Tengxun, as operators, they took almost 70% or even more of all profits!

That's because most game developers lack operational capabilities. As for those who have it, they simply don't need any game operators; they can set up on their own, handling both operations and development.

For Zhang Menglong though, this was not an issue at all. He himself was an excellent brand name. If he wanted to sell a game, a single advertisement like "The Game Recommended by the World's Richest Man" could blow up the entire market.

The reason Zhang Menglong wanted to hand over these matters to them was simply that he was too lazy to deal with it himself.

But this changed their positions entirely.

If Zhang Menglong wanted to operate the games himself, he could dominate the entire market. Gradually eating into the game market that NetEase and Tengxun had built over the years was just a matter of time.

If they were unwilling to cooperate or to accept Zhang Menglong's profit-sharing ratio, their end would be simple. In a short few months or at most a couple of years, NetEase Games and Tengxun Games might just be taken over by Zhang Menglong, turning into NetEase Adult Products and Tengxun Spa and Bathhouse.

Therefore, in the matter of profit sharing with Zhang Menglong, they understood that they didn't have much room for negotiation.

"I don't care how you operate or how you charge, but I want 50% of all profit."

"You only want 50%?" This figure was far lower than their expectation! They even thought that Zhang Menglong might aim high and ask for seventy or even eighty percent!

"Hahaha, you two have lost quite a bit of money recently. When I, Zhang Menglong, eat meat, it's only right that I let you have a sip of the broth!"

A 50% share, that was far more than a sip of broth.

They had absolute confidence that as soon as their games launched, they could obliterate all blockbuster games within three months to become the new blockbusters themselves.

How much market share was there in the global gaming market?

50% would let them take off directly!

By then, the market value of Tengxun Games and Wangyi Games, even if it increased by several times, would just be a matter of time.

"Also, I'm not just providing you with games, but also advertising support," Zhang Menglong said, "I want the best advertising results, I don't care if you hire the most expensive stars or engage in the most lavish ad traffic placements, I want the whole world to know about my game within a month!"

"Mr. Zhang, if you do it this way, you probably won't make much money off this game," Ma Hua said.

"I never said I wanted to make money," Zhang Menglong laughed, "When I started making these games, it wasn't for the money either."

"What? You don't plan to make money from games? Then why develop these games?"

"Why else? The lousy games on the market get on my nerves after playing for a while, and there are so many idiots, the gaming experience is just too poor. If I develop a few games myself, they can all follow my plan, and I don't need too many players, just me and my friends playing would be enough."

"Damn!" Ma Hua couldn't help but curse.

Zhang Menglong's purpose was indeed pure!

Because the games on the market didn't cater to his tastes, he decided to develop his own!

To develop these games, he even went to the lengths of using a supercomputer!

The joys and sorrows of humans really do differ.

"Mr. Zhang, to be frank, based on our operating strategy, it's possible to beat those games in a year or half a year, but if we want to create a sensational effect in a short time, we'll inevitably need some publicity stunts. As long as the topic is explosive enough and cuts to the core, we'll achieve the best results."

"Like what?"

"For example, the first 100 people to download the game could receive a limited edition VR device, or some attractive gaming merch."

"Publicity is a good idea!" Zhang Menglong thought for a moment, "But your approach won't work, people won't know what kind of game it is and the stuff you give won't be appealing."

"Besides, if it's just for the first 100 downloads, people will uninstall it right after downloading. Everyone is so busy, who would waste time trying out a new game? Car loans and mortgages don't just disappear, right?"

"Wait!" Zhang Menglong's eyes lit up, "Since we are going to spend money, let's go all out."

Zhang Menglong continued, "We can add a type of item in the game that can be obtained once a certain progress level is reached, and these items can be used to exchange for various things!"

"Limited edition equipment, game skins!" Ma Hua immediately said.

"What limited edition equipment and game skins, those things don't have the slightest attraction for me!" Zhang Menglong said, "What are people striving for nowadays? Just money. What's the most direct form of money? Real estate and women, we can't give away women, that's illegal, but we can give away real estate!"

Zhang Menglong took out a piece of paper and started writing, "First prize, a villa worth 50 million yuan, limited to 1 person; second prize, a large flat worth 20 million yuan, limited to 10 people; third prize, real estate worth 5 million yuan, limited to 50 people; fourth prize, a sports car worth 2 million yuan, limited to 100 people; and consolation prizes, cars worth up to 1 million yuan, limited to 500 people!"

Zhang Menglong pushed the paper towards them, "Advertise using this standard!"

"Brilliant!" Ma Hua said, "This prize will definitely have an incredible appeal. We can just arrange a few insiders to act as plants, but the topic will absolutely take off!"

"Plants!" Zhang Menglong slammed the table, "Do I, Zhang Menglong, need plants to do things? These prizes must be fair and just, and all redeemable!"

"What? You're not just doing it for publicity? You're serious?" Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi stood up immediately.

"Sorry, I'm rich enough to be capricious! If they provoke me, I'll smash them with money!"
