Pizhou, Hongguang Town.

Today is the day to go to the market. Not only are there people on the streets, but even the teahouses are full of seats.

The house where the teahouse is located has a typical style of southwestern houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The main body of the door is composed of four door panels. The door panel is removed when opening a store and the door panel is installed when closing the store. The number of door panels must not be too many. There are six doors. In ancient times, only the government could own them, and it was over-ordered when the people used them. The roof was all black tiles, but there were two glass tiles for lighting. This is a modern simple version. In ancient times, the rich used transparent glazed tiles, while ordinary people used special structures to empty a roof, which could not only illuminate the light without air leakage.

There are low wooden tables in the teahouse, and the chairs are bamboo lounge chairs. They can sit upright and drink tea, and can also sit half-lying and take a nap and chat and watch the show.

Most of the customers are elderly people nearby, and each of them brews a cup of tea in front of them. There is no mahjong on the wooden table, mainly Chinese traditional cards, and occasionally one or two tables are playing chess.

Tea is not expensive, and the inferior local tea produced in the province costs 50 cents per bowl, and you can refill unlimitedly.

William Zhu held a cup of tea in his hand and looked at the surroundings. The scholar used the lid to pluck the tea leaves and smiled: "This kind of teahouse is quite interesting. This is the first time I have seen it."

Chen Tao said: "The southwest region is everywhere, but it has basically disappeared in cities, and only towns and rural areas are still preserved."

"That's because you haven't been in contact with village life for a long time," Song Weiyang said with a smile. "I went back to my grandmother's house this Spring Festival, and all the teahouses there were converted into chess and card rooms. In the past, 30 cents a bowl of tea was provided for free, but now tea costs 50 cents a bowl of tea, and you have to pump water for the store to play cards."

Chen Tao was a little surprised: "Really? Prices are rising rapidly."

Song Weiyang said: "The consumer subject has changed. Traditional teahouses are mainly elderly customers, and chess and card rooms are mainly young people. Especially during the Chinese New Year, gambling becomes popular for young people who work and return to the village. For the elderly, a deck of cards can be used for more than half a year, and it will not affect the use if the card is played. Young people should pay much attention to it, especially Zhajinhua, who has to change a new deck of poker almost every hour, mainly to prevent card-keeping and cheating."

"You are really a businessman, and you even have a clear study on the teahouse and chess and card rooms." Zhu William laughed.

Since Shenjian Network Technology Company was established, a reliable helmman is needed.

Chi Yufeng is a very suitable candidate. After all, he can make perfect time and space so big. But he is the CEO of the Education Group and his net worth has exceeded 100 million. How can he come to manage a game company specifically?

So Song Weiyang found William Zhu. This guy liked to enjoy the process of starting a business. He happily accepted the recruitment and threw the banyan tree to his deputy to manage. In addition, Song Weiyang also asked three people from Sohu, Sogou and Jinshan to be responsible for operations, finance and technology respectively, and the management framework of online game companies was established.

In the past half a month, William Zhu had been negotiating in South Korea.

At the beginning, actoz and wemade two companies, Leo, asked for $500,000 in agency fees and 25% of profit sharing. William Zhu was flirting with it in South Korea, and even threatened to cancel the negotiations, and finally reduced the agency fees to $300,000 and the profit sharing to 15%.

Well, when signing the contract, the company B was named "Huyou Entertainment", which is a bag company registered by Song Weiyang in Beijing. It is expected that it will "close" this summer due to unfavorable capital turnover.

William Zhu said worriedly: "We will really not be sued for infringement of the copyright in accordance with the Legend of Mill?"

"Definitely," Song Weiyang smiled, "The problem is how to define infringement. When the Korean company made this game, it was deliberately imitating other games. After the game was brought back, didn't you listen to the programmers of Xishan Studio? Many of the source codes of this broken game are universal, and many other online game products are copied and pasted. If we buy it and operate it directly, plug-ins will definitely be flying all over the world. Junior high school students who are proficient in programming can easily write plug-ins for this game."

William Zhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This game is too bad. Xishan Studio only tested it internally for less than 10 days, and it had already encountered three small bugs and one very fatal big bug."

"It's normal," said Song Weiyang. "The Korean online game market is dominated by "Paradise". Other games are squeezed to death, so they can only be forced to explore overseas markets to survive. Several games sold well overseas, which made Korean companies jealous and couldn't wait to sell them with semi-finished products. This is how eager for quick success and instant benefits are."

William Zhu suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, should we promote the "Shan Hai Jing" project in advance? You can't just do things with so much money, right?"

"No hurry for the time being." Song Weiyang said.

"I can't afford this project. The investment is too large and the cycle is too long." Zhu William Zhu said worriedly.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Just treat it as spending money and playing."

In order to expand the team size of Zulong Studio, Song Weiyang injected 10 million yuan in one breath, and the shareholding ratio instantly increased to 76.66%. Chi Yufeng and the founding team held 23.34% of the shares together. The other party did not feel any dissatisfaction, but was very happy about it - normal people would be happy. After all, they do not know the huge potential of the online game market now, and they will not compete for controlling rights. When Song Weiyang injected the capital again, he still valued Zulong Studio a premium of 5 million yuan, which means that everyone has more money on paper.

The most important thing is that Song Weiyang often spends 5 million or 10 million yuan, which proves that he is confident in making online games, making everyone feel successful.

Now even the company's interns believe that their development prospects are unlimited.

Song Weiyang's capital and status are there. Even if he doesn't do anything, it's like providing team buffs crazy.

Let’s give an example. If you join a newly established company, Ma Xiaoyun is spending endless money behind the scenes. What would you think? You must be full of confidence and have worked hard for your life, because you have a great chance to become a veteran of a future big company!

Song Weiyang's madness is not only reflected in the expansion of 80 new employees in one go, but he even invited experts such as Gaishanlin and Weng Yintao to serve as cultural and artistic consultants for the "Shan Hai Jing" project.

Gai Shanlin is a well-known Chinese archaeologist, historian, ancient rock painting expert, and research expert on "Shan Hai Jing". He was included in the World Who's Who" by institutions in the United States, Britain, Italy and other countries. Six years ago, the US World Journal reported the full page for five consecutive days, listing all the achievements of Mr. Gai Shanlin. He is still receiving special allowances from the country.

Although Weng Yintao's academic achievements are not that outstanding, he is also an expert in ancient Chinese mythology, Chu Ci, Yi Jing, pre-Qin philosophy, Tang and Song lyrics. He has written many papers on witchcraft and mythology, and his research on "Shan Hai Jing" is at the expert level. He has also published a collection of personal poems, including more than 600 old-style poems, and he can also play a guest-star poetry and literature consultant in the game.

In addition to these two, Song Weiyang also invited experts to study ancient Chinese folk customs, and in all aspects, they must strive for excellence.

The game music is even more outrageous. Song Weiyang directly invited Tan Dun. This gentleman just won the Oscar for Best Original Music. The soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was created by Tan Dun.

In order to invite these big names in the industry, Song Weiyang spent 1.8 million yuan and even used his connections, otherwise some experts would not be able to invite him.

If such behavior is spread to the game industry, some people will definitely think that Song Weiyang is crazy.

After all, online games today can’t make a lot of money. No matter how awesome the foreign game is, the agency fee for introducing it to China will not exceed 500,000 US dollars. In just two years, the agency fee will increase to tens of millions of dollars, and even the scrambled games will need to spend millions of dollars to obtain agency rights.

People now only know that they have a great potential in making online games, but they can't guess how terrifying the profits are. After all, even 512k broadband has not been popular yet!
