The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 5 Plants vs. Zombies
  Lin Shuwen opened the new folder 3 as Luo Ming said and found the game called "Plants vs. Zombies".

"Well, Luo Ming, I'll have some fun first, and I'll call you later."

"Okay." Luo Ming responded and hung up the phone.

He sighed and slumped on the big sofa in Lin Shuwen's house without any image.

"What the hell is this!" Luo Ming complained.

Luo Ming came through 20 days ago, and this world seems different from his previous life.

Because history took a turn with Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji lived for 55 years and was emperor for almost 30 years. The Ming Dynasty existed for more than 500 years, and the subsequent history also changed a lot, until modern times. The Ming Dynasty was overthrown and the warlords separated their regimes, which gradually overlapped with the modern history of the previous life.

The time now is 2013, and the technological level is similar to that of Luo Ming's previous life in 2013. There are also Internet giants like Penguin, Alibaba, and Baidu. Even the mobile phone he is holding is the rice 4s that was just released in April this year. .

So much so that Luo Ming thought at first that he had worked too many overtime hours and was reborn in the year after graduating from college!

But soon Luo Ming discovered the differences between the two worlds. First of all, the games he played were completely different from those in his previous life. He had never heard of these games.

Where has my big CF gone?
  Baby, no, it’s still called DNF now, that’s gone.

LOL is still around, but occasionally a few heroes have different names.

Then Luo Ming searched Baidu and found that many popular games in previous lives did not appear.

As a coder who has been in the gaming industry for almost 10 years, Luo Ming feels this is a huge opportunity.

In his previous life, a small game with no technical content such as "Sheep Killing a Sheep" could become popular all over the Internet overnight. Luo Ming brought in a few games with excellent reputations, didn't he just take off?

Just do what he said, Luo Ming directly chose to resign, and while taking orders in computer forums to support himself, he started making "Plants vs. Zombies".

As for why I chose this game, I'm a little embarrassed to say it, because this game was "borrowed" from the company where I just graduated from Luo Ming University.

In his previous life, Luo Ming also graduated from college in 2013. After graduation, he joined a little-known small game company.

The first task after joining the company is to work with the team to make "Plants vs. Zombies" a mobile game.

"Plants vs. Zombies" did have a genuine mobile game, but it did not become popular in China because at that time, various copies of "Plants vs. Zombies" mobile games were already rampant.

This one done by Luo Ming is also one of them.

Because he had done it in his previous life, Luo Ming knew enough about "Plants vs. Zombies", and the game was really popular.

It may be controversial to say which game is the originator of tower defense games, but if you want to say which game is the most influential tower defense game, then "Plants vs. Zombies" is definitely the one.

"Plants vs. Zombies" was released in 2009, and its revenue in 2022 will still be 10 billion yuan.

The IP value was valued by Citibank at 123.72 billion yuan.

Luo Ming feels that this game can shine in any world and will not be acclimatized. This is one of the reasons why Luo Ming chose "Plants vs. Zombies".

"Ding ding ding~" The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted Luo Ming's thoughts.

Luo Ming quickly picked up the phone, and his own voice rang in the receiver: "Luo Ming, I played your game. It's really great and very interesting."

"Thank you."

"I'm telling the truth, not being polite." Lin Shuwen said in a serious tone.

"Thank you for your compliment." Luo Ming's thanks were more solemn this time. “Luo Ming, can I invest in your game?”

"you?"

"Yes, I have been in business for more than a year, and I still have some money in my hand. Anyway, you are going to meet with the venture capital company tomorrow, why not give me the opportunity, so that the money does not go to others!"

After all, Luo Ming had been working hard in society for so many years. When he heard this, he knew that Lin Shuwen was afraid of messing up tomorrow's meeting, so she proposed to invest by herself.

"Ms. Lin, I don't think you need to do this. We might be able to exchange it back tomorrow. If we can't exchange it back, this investor won't be the only one tomorrow. I can find other investors."

"Luo Ming, I'm serious. I admit that I said I wanted to play your game at the beginning because I was afraid of disrupting your career plan, so I proposed to play your game as a good excuse to invest in you.

But it’s different now. I really think your game is very fun and has the potential to become popular. I really want to invest in you. "

Luo Ming was silent after hearing this.

After a while, he said: "Well, if we can't get the exchange back tomorrow and the talks with the investors fail, Miss Lin, please invest in us!

But Miss Lin, the money we need is quite a lot. Are you sure you have it? "

"How much money do you need?" Lin Shuwen asked.

“My partner and I want to set up a formal studio, and he can provide a fixed office location, and the rest will cost money.

For example, computers with good performance, recruiting some employees to help us with game development and post-operation, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Just tell me how much you want!"

"Initial estimates require 200 million!"

"I will invest 500 million in you."

"Five million!" Luo Ming was shocked: "Do celebrities make so much money? Didn't you just debut for a year?"

"This is all my savings. I give you so much money because I want to completely bind our relationship. Luo Ming, can you understand?"

Luo Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed. He understood what Lin Shuwen meant.

Who knows what happened to them crossing each other this time? How long will it last and will it change back?
  With everything unknown, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen must now consider how to live each other's lives well.

"Okay, then if we can't get it back tomorrow and you can't reach an agreement with the investors, I'll accept your investment. Don't worry, you won't regret investing in me."

Luo Ming's words sounded to Lin Shuwen with strong confidence, as if he was sure that he would succeed.

This is also true. The only investment accepted by the famous game company Mihuyou in the previous life was 100 million, and they used 15% of the shares in exchange for this 100 million.

But Mi Huyou's future is uncertain, but Luo Ming is standing on the shoulders of giants. What reason does he have to doubt himself?

"Then Luo Ming, we need to exchange "intelligence" about each other, and at least have some understanding of the people around us." Lin Shuwen suggested.

"Okay, but before that I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"When I participated in the event today, there was something wrong with the server backstage. I..." Luo Ming told Lin Shuwen about singing "Light Years Away".
