Chapter 41.

Chen ZiYi didn’t care that she was in the middle of an evening study session right now, she got up and went back to her seat to take all the homework and laid it out in front of Cheng Ming, saying graciously, “Copy it.”

Good students do everything right, and if anyone else dares to walk around randomly in the evening study hall, they will inevitably be criticized.

Since it is Chen Ziyi’s homework, Cheng Ming is not like copying Jing Jing’s homework, there is a need to avoid, deliberately write the wrong solution to the problem, there is no need to correct the error, copying is finished.

“You’re done copying, right, so tell me how you did this question next?”

“It’s easy, just use the formula.”

Cheng Ming had no intention of giving Chen Ziyi a proper lecture and perfunctorily wrote a simple formula.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Chen Ziyi said with a slight thought.

“That’s what’s next then ……,” Chen Ziyi took her pen and started solving the problem.

没有写出具体的步骤，就唰唰唰地几行，关键的东西倒是全写出来了。

I can’t believe she understood it. Is that genius?

It’s a real pisser.

All in all, the deal was pretty pleasant.

After class, Cheng Ming skipped straight to get away from the plague that was Chen Ziyi.

When I got home, my sister was still up, and there was something really weird about this elementary school kid’s routine.

But Cheng Ming seems to have been staying up late playing Little Busters video games since he was in the second grade.

The routine is even more irregular now, so there’s really no point in criticizing my sister.

The first thing Cheng Ming says when he comes home is neither “I’m home.” Nor “Why are you still up?” But rather, “Have you brushed your teeth?”

Cheng Li said with a straight face, “No.”

“Go brush your teeth before you watch TV.”

“Later.”

“You’ll fall asleep later and the TV won’t run.”

“Then wait for the commercials.”

“Go brush your teeth now.”

Cheng Ming hard to hold his sister to go to the restroom to wash up, but in return, his sister was punched and kicked.

Cheng Ming who returned to the room customarily opened qq first to see Zhao Lei’s progress, and sold more than ten more copies than yesterday, which was already quite a good achievement.

Poor people’s children early to be a family, Zhao Lei in his age is more precocious, in fact, also a year late to study, than Cheng Ming is still a year older, the action is also good, sparing enough, but still not enough to solve the urgent need.

Just today there were several more friend requests, from those reacting to bugs to those crying poor.

Said he is a student, just play the game to spend money, really can not afford to buy plug-ins, can not permanently free.

This kind of person, Cheng Ming can see too much, this is the so-called white whoring party.

The floor of the plugin thread has been capped at a rather exaggerated level, and a new thread will have to be started to keep the heat on, or it’ll become a spam thread.

But it’s still time to raffle off the activation code.

Cheng Ming sorted out all the bugs, fixing them tonight, updating the plugin version, and then starting a new thread before raffling it off.

With the idea decided, Cheng Ming began to busy himself, and late into the night, the penguin avatar in the lower right corner flashed with a friend request.

Used the initial avatar that came with qq, and the level wasn’t high, and the nickname was “gentle and elegant”.

“Hello, are you the developer of Stone Age Elf Little Helper?”

What a respectful greeting right off the bat.

“That’s right, it’s me.”

“I’m the person in charge of plug-in production and sales, there are three games on the market whose plug-ins are all from our studio, are you interested in cooperating with us?”

Finally came ah, Cheng Ming waiting is this, not in vain Cheng Ming in the forum busy work.

The way to make a quick buck is to contract out the plugin to agents who have distribution channels and access.

If you can’t beat it, you can buy it. Cheng Ming’s extras are definitely without competitors in the short term.

With Cheng Ming’s excellent extras, and the channels they have built, they will soon be able to collect their costs.

Cheng Ming wants to sell to the whole country from Nanming City as a starting point, not a year and a half is not possible, but also need to spend a lot of energy.

After the layers of profit sharing, the gross profit to him should also be pitifully small.

“Aren’t we competitors? How can we cooperate?” Cheng Ming replied back in a layman’s tone.

“Brother, are you really ignorant or are you faking it? Although your plug-in is indeed superior to the ones on the market, the lads on my side including myself are amazed, wondering which company’s technical bulls you are, or lecturers and professors in the university, and how could you set your eyes on such gadgets as plug-ins? But it will take us a month or two to eat through this plug-in of yours, and by then your plug-in will be worthless.”

Cheng Ming wasn’t a three year old, he wouldn’t be easily intimidated by him and spend a month or two eating through his hang-ups.

Maybe it could, but what’s the point, don’t they want to maintain and update their plugins?

Eat through the old version of the plugin, what about the new version of the plugin? What about plug-ins for new games?

“Then there’s nothing more to talk about between us, I’m going to go release a new version of the elfin little helper.”

Although Cheng Ming was in great need of the life-saving money of one hundred and forty thousand dollars, he must not be in a hurry. He could not reveal a tiny bit of I am very short of money, and even more so, he could not be known about the bottom line price of one hundred and forty thousand dollars.

Otherwise you will be at a disadvantage in the negotiation and bargaining process.

“How about this? I’ll be the general agent of your plug-in, and we’ll split the revenue 70-30, how about it? If a plug-in sells for fifteen dollars, I’ll take ten and a half dollars on my side, and four and a half dollars on yours.”

“Seven for you and three for me? Empty gloves?”

“Brother, you’re pure profit, my side of seven, still have to pay my men, in the end it’s good to have one or two in my hands.”

If it was usual, with this split, Cheng Ming, who was trying to save trouble, estimated that he would let him wrap things up.

But Cheng Ming, who is in desperate need of money, wants the other party to buy out his plug-in at a price.

“This share is too low, not enough, and I still don’t know how your team’s sales ability is, I’m building my own sales network on my side, I estimate that I will be able to cover the province in a month, there are two other people who contacted me before you, they are also peers, they want to act as an agent for my plug-ins, I’m going to sell both the program and the source code to them at a price of half a million dollars, but they said that they want to think about it. “

It’s okay for me to go it alone. If you don’t buy it, someone else will, giving the other person a certain amount of pressure and a sense of urgency.

“Shit, half a million dollars, are you crazy?”

Even after taking the screen name Gentleman, this person on the other side of the screen was shocked by the amount and wanted to curse for a moment.

“Do you think that the plug-in that can accompany the game Stone Age until it is shut down is not worth half a million dollars? The Stone Age is now inseparable from plug-ins, or many Korean games on the market are inseparable from plug-ins.”

Cheng Ming was certainly not quoting a price off the top of his head, half a million dollars, no more, no less.

Even the amount after the pressure will not be lower than his bottom line amount.

“This is true, a group of us are also ready to make a profit when we see this business opportunity.”

“Korean MMOs all share the same characteristics, a pale story background, a shapeless quest system, and the purpose of the game is to constantly level up and seek out extreme equipment. The purpose of many people playing the game is to level up higher so they can fight for more extreme equipment.”

“In terms of time and money consumption, there is not much difference between using or not using plug-ins, only the consumption of energy is different. In a sense, plug-ins are using the artificial intelligence of robots to replace manual labor, which according to the general values of people nowadays, should be a manifestation of ‘progress’. For the company that makes MMOs with repetitive practicing, upgrading, and treasure hunting, this is undoubtedly the greatest irony.”

“While Blizzard’s planners are thinking about how to adjust that little bit of imbalance in Interstellar, domestic MMO companies are working on how to get players to spend more time practicing, and players want to use plug-ins for no other reason than to go beyond the game itself to get some kind of exclusive benefit.”

Though gamers nowadays kinda eat this up, mainly because there are so few games that can be played, and this kind of numerical online game is the fastest way to enjoy the ‘coolness’ of the game.

“For half a million dollars, you’re not just buying a plug-in for the Stone Age, you’re also buying a powerful plug-in developer, and I’m going to be making all kinds of great plug-ins in the future.”

“Awesome, I’ll admit you kind of convinced me, but I’m not the only one who can say forget about it, I still have to talk to my studio buddies, and it’s true that we can’t come up with half a million dollars, we’re still thinking of making half a million dollars off of this and then go do something else. If we have half a million dollars who wants to do this kind of unseemly hook.”

“The matter of money is negotiable, the main thing is that I want to find a group of like-minded people to do it together, before two people want to represent my plug-in, and he said this thing, they only noticed the meat in front of them, and do not think about the subsequent development at all, and feel that I am spoiling things by giving them the plug-in for distribution.”

The first half of the sentence is true, Cheng Ming also really want to find some people to give him to share the pressure, a lot of ideas are not he alone busy, reborn again, he does not want to end up in the end of the teenage bald.

“Okay, then we’ll be in touch afterward.”

“I’m basically online at midnight.”

“We’re here too.”

Sent over a bitter smiley emoticon.
