Chapter 139 Gambling Agreement
Looking at Fatty G's solemn expression, Qin Shaoyan said slowly.

"This depends on the development progress of the team. You know, our company does not have enough experience in FPS game development, so we can only fumble slowly."

"The entire single-player plot will take a long time to produce. We also have to design the online battle function, which will take at least two to three years in total."

"This is still possible if things go well, maybe within five years."

Fatty G seemed quite disappointed, "Shit!"

"But we will work hard." Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "I am working hard to recruit more developers. If V Society can teach us some experience, this process will be shortened."

Hearing this, G became energetic again, "This is no problem. You can send someone to my place and I will help you train for a while."

"Gabu, you are such a good person!" Qin Shaoyan excitedly held G Fat's hand, "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Fatty G warned seriously, "John, promise me to finish it. I like this game very much."

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "Gabu, you think this is a great game, right?"

"Three million?!" Qin Shaoyan laughed, "Gabu, I am confident that its sales will reach more than five million."

Fatty G was a little surprised, "Five million copies? Are you sure?"

Qin Shaoyan lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "If you want to bet, bet bigger. With a three-year research and development cycle, I will sell more than 800 million copies. You give me million US dollars, and other conditions remain unchanged."

Qin Shaoyan also smiled, "I am very confident in my team."

"More than three million." Fatty G gave a conservative estimate.

"Then I'm looking forward to the day when your game goes online." Fatty G smiled and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand, "Do you want to sign a gambling agreement now? I have to call my lawyer over."

Fatty G hesitated, it was really hard to explain this thing.

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a few seconds, with a very painful and struggling expression on his face, and finally stood up suddenly, "Deal!"

"It is indeed great and very attractive." G Fat gave high praise, "If the subsequent plot can maintain this level, it may indeed become a hit."

Fatty G burst out laughing, "John, your idea is great! I like it very much!"

Fatty G said with a smile: "John, you made a big bet."

"So I plan to release it on Steam." Qin Shaoyan suddenly looked at G Fat with a serious look on his face, "How much do you think its sales volume can reach?"

"No, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "During the E3 exhibition, I will bring the game to the exhibition, and we will sign a gambling agreement on site. This way the hype effect will be better, and it will also be a publicity for Steam."

Fatty G frowned and started thinking, "How much is the price of the game?"

"If the sales volume does not reach five million, I will refund all the US$30 million to you, and V will get % of the sales share."

Some games seem to be of quite good quality, but there are many examples of them being flopped upon release.

"$60."

Fatty G shook his head, "Three years is too long, within two years."

……

"How about we make a bet?" Qin Shaoyan finally started to show his fangs, "Let's sign a betting agreement now. You will give me 10 million US dollars now, and I will launch the game on Steam within three years, and promise It sold over five million.”

"No." Fatty G waved his hand, "If you can't make more than 800 million, not only do you have to refund the money, but I also want 40% of the game sales share."

Zhang Pingyi shuttled between the banquets with a glass of wine in hand, dealing with reporters with ease.

At this time, the reporters were still thinking about the red envelopes and sumptuous food and drinks, and had no intention of asking Zhang Pingyi difficult questions. After all, reporters in this era still have some ethics.

While the reporters were busy eating and talking, someone shouted, "Penguin's executives are here!"

The hotel was like an explosion. Reporters dropped their chopsticks, grabbed their cameras and rushed out. They stumbled in the crowded room, overturning the table and breaking cups and plates on the floor.

The hotel lobby manager was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to stop reporters and was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

Zhang Pingyi immediately took out his wallet and said, "Manager, I'll pay the bill and count the broken things."

The lobby manager's expression changed immediately after seeing the banknotes. He looked at Zhang Minyi as if he were his own father, "Mr. Zhang, you are welcome to come often, I will give you a 20% discount."

Here Zhang Pingyi was cleaning up the mess for the reporters, while over there the reporters had blocked Ren Yuxin who had just gotten off the car. The camera lenses and microphones wanted to stab Ren Yuxin to death, and there was a chorus of questions.

"Mr. Ren, are you Penguin here to discuss cooperation with Valve Company this time?"

“When will the online version of Counter-Strike be launched?”

"Has Penguin signed an exclusive agency agreement?"

Ren Yuxin had an irrepressible smile on his face, but his tone was not relaxed at all, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to be interviewed. Please give way."

"We Penguin will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market soon. I will not respond to your questions."

Soon several people from Sentinel Technology came out, pushed through the crowd, and escorted Ren Yuxin into the company.

As soon as Ren Yuxin entered the door, he saw Qin Shaoyan and G Fat talking and laughing, and they were having a great time.

Qin Shaoyan looked up and saw that Ren Yuxin immediately smiled, "Mr. Ren, come here quickly, let me introduce you."

"This is Ren Yuxin, Penguin's vice president in charge of game business." Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically introduced to G Fat, "Penguin has nearly 300 million users. They are preparing to enter the game market recently and are a very powerful partner."

"Three hundred million users?!" Fatty G was shocked, so he shook hands with Ren Yuxin enthusiastically and exchanged greetings.

Under the translation of Qin Shaoyan, G Fat and Ren Yuxin expressed their respect for each other, and at the same time expressed that they would cooperate more if there were opportunities.

Ren Yuxin was very satisfied with this meeting. Last time he was in the United States, he mingled with people from other companies and didn't even have a few words with Fatty G.

The last interview Penguin conducted did not produce any useful information, so it was a waste of time.

It was not easy for them to blame Qin Shaoyan. After all, they had done a good job in matchmaking. If they didn't do a good job, they could only blame themselves for wasting the opportunity.

But they didn't expect that Mr. Qin turned around and created another opportunity for them, and they met alone.

This Mr. Qin is indeed interesting.

"Let's take a group photo together." Qin Shaoyan suggested as he watched Ren Yuxin and Fatty G chatting happily.

Fatty G naturally would not refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Qin Shaoyan snapped his fingers, and the photographer waiting aside ran over with his camera in hand.

Then it was time to arrange the positions. Qin Shaoyan quietly made a gesture, and Hong Fei, who was hiding behind, immediately opened a poster of the original painting.

"Crack!"

In the flash, several people took photos with smiles.

Qin Shaoyan sent G Fat and George back to the hotel to settle down, then returned directly to the company and summoned Ren Yuxin again.

"Mr. Ren, come here." Qin Shaoyan copied the photos from the digital camera into the computer and opened them.

Ren Yuxin came over curiously, and then his eyes widened.

This photo is a photo of him and Fatty G just now, but there is an extra poster in the background.

The poster has the classic shape of the SAS, with a line of title written on it, but only the words "anti-terrorism" can be seen clearly, and the rest is blurry.

"It's a pity that this photo was taken too poorly." Qin Shaoyan said regretfully.

"No, no, no." Ren Yuxin's face was full of surprise, "This is the one, very good, very perfect."

"Oh, Mr. Qin, when did you make posters? I was caught off guard." Ren Yuxin rubbed his hands happily.

Qin Shaoyan copied the photo into a USB flash drive, pulled it out and handed it to Ren Yuxin, "You can take the photo with you. It's up to you how you use it in the future."

Ren Yuxin couldn't wait to grab the USB flash drive, with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin, please pay more attention to the news on the Internet if you have nothing to do."

"Okay, I'll wait and see." Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, "Also, please tell Mr. Ma about our cooperation agreement."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin!" Ren Yuxin held Qin Shaoyan's hand tightly, "Mr. Qin, a partner like you is so rare. Let's cooperate more in the future."

"Well, please cooperate more!"
