I am the king of hard rice

Chapter 413 The Little Annoyance of Five People Living Together
There is always an end to the journey, but life goes on.

At twelve o'clock in the evening on April NO.12, everyone arrived in the capital by plane and returned to their homes.

This journey has come to an end, everyone has different gains, and the one who has gained the most is undoubtedly Li Peifeng.

Not only did he officially turn Lao Zhao into his fiancée, but the five-in-one emotional relationship became more stable.

At the beginning when Li Peifeng proposed to Zhao Qingge, the three girls Wu Xuhuang were really angry about it, but when they returned home, the anger almost disappeared.

After all, it's just a mere marriage proposal, and it's not worth getting angry at all. The two will get married in the future. If they get angry now, won't they die of anger when they see the scene of the two getting married?
And ignore it.

When I figured out that the saying "Good days are yet to come" is a lie, and life can only bring people a series of unsolvable problems, I fell into an ocean of incomparable peace.

The next day, Wednesday, everyone returned to their busy routines, those who should go to work, and those who should go to school.

Li Peifeng still planned to stay at home and type, but after a while, he received a call from He Yimeng.

"I have contacted the several mobile game companies you mentioned, and the prices are too high. Considering everything, I think it is better to start one directly, or buy a game development studio with relatively strong capabilities, and then use it as a The skeleton is built step by step..."

After He Yimeng resigned from Trinity, she put all her energy on it.

Li Peifeng has been traveling for more than a week, and she has not been idle every day. The first five days are supplementary lessons in the mobile game industry, and the next few days are spent contacting acquisition targets and negotiating one by one.

The final answer given to Li Peifeng was also well thought out. Even the specific plan and the acquisition target of the studio were prepared. Li felt reasonable after hearing it, so he directly adopted it.

"Okay, according to what you said, when buying or recruiting people, if you need me to come forward, please contact me."

"Of course I need you to come forward, are you home?"

"Well...how about I go find you now?"

"Come here, I'm going to visit that studio in the afternoon, and you should go with me too."

"no problem."

When he came to Baoyu Community again, Li Peifeng didn't hide his head and show his tail like that directly. He drove directly to He Yimeng's building and walked into her house openly.

"I see that the garage is not open, and you closed the counseling room?"

"I don't have time to take any more cases, another consultant is off today, so it's closed."

Wearing pajamas, He Yimeng opened the door and went straight to the bedroom: "Come with me, I'll show you the information about that studio."

As early as eight or nine years ago, developing mobile games was a fertile land where game designers of any level could be competent.At that time, all you needed was a smartphone, an understanding of the Xcode integrated development tool and enough ideas and creativity to join this exciting field with huge potential.

From game design blueprint to market launch, even an individual or a small team of several people can complete a mobile game within a few weeks to several months, so there are countless mobile game development studios in China.

To put it bluntly, at that time, mobile games were the outlet, and pigs could fly by standing on the outlet.

However, with the development of the smart phone era, mobile phone hardware is constantly changing and upgrading, and capital is valued, more end-game production companies have also begun to set foot in the field of mobile games, and other factors have led to a geometric multiple increase in the development cost of 3D mobile games , Players' tastes are becoming more and more picky, and the difficulty of operation is also increasing.

Although there are still some creative games, combined with amazing luck, games run on a low budget can also set off trends and create cultural phenomena, but the probability of winning a lottery jackpot is too low.The chances of success for small mobile game development teams and developers are disappearing. Only mobile game companies with stronger funds, willing to spend a lot of money on production, and willing to spend a lot of money on marketing can gain a firm foothold in this more introverted market.

Therefore, many mobile game production studios are facing the crisis of closing down. The old games they once produced are no longer popular in the market, and the monthly turnover is decreasing day by day. New games that meet the appetite of contemporary players, or the problem of breaking the capital chain due to the increase in development costs, the project is shelved.

Most founders don't want their hard work to be completely wiped out, and they want to find a new owner for it when there is no loss, and they can cash out a fortune and turn away.

The Magnum studio that He Yimeng showed Li Peifeng is like this. It has a scale of more than 30 people. It once developed an RPG type 3D mobile game three years ago. At its peak, it achieved a monthly turnover of one million , but only lasted for less than half a year. Due to operational problems and changes in players' tastes, the turnover declined rapidly.

The founder of Magnum is also a game developer with a dream in mind. After the first game made a certain profit, he immediately started a new project, increased the budget, and recruited troops to do a big job.

However, after a year of painstaking research and development, the new game was released, but the market response was very cold.

The production cost has risen tenfold, and the results achieved are not even half that of the first game. It was difficult to maintain for two years. The founder of Magnum was disheartened and resigned to his fate and wanted to sell it.

"This studio has a certain amount of RPG production experience and technology, and although its two mobile games are still in operation, they are both in a state of making ends meet, and they are not far away from shutdown. Therefore, the price of acquiring it will be relatively low , all that needs to be considered is the cost of equipment and personnel, I estimate that two or three million can be won."

"When the acquisition is over, we will recruit some more people, and "Sword and Law" can basically be launched!"

Li Peifeng nodded while watching: "When did you make an appointment with him?"

"At two o'clock, go directly to the studio, which is about ten kilometers away."

Li Peifeng withdrew his gaze and looked at He Yimeng carefully. The ends of his white hair were a little withered and yellow, and his complexion was not very good-looking. Obviously, during the week when he was out for fun, He Yimeng had spent a lot of time and energy on this matter. He couldn't help but feel distressed and moved. He said: "Mengmeng, thank you for your hard work."

"Don't just play lip service."

He Yimeng said flatly: "Think about it carefully, how many shares should I share at that time, as long as I am worthy of my hard work."

Li Peifeng pretended to be generous: "What is mine is yours. I will give you as much as you want. How about this, I will work hard first, and give you some love for interest."

"Give it up, I don't need that kind of worthless thing at all!!"

The louder you growl, the more you need it.

Li Peifeng ignored He Yimeng's struggles, poured in the energy of love, and made lunch afterwards. While eating with a ruddy complexion, He Yimeng asked calmly, "How do you feel about this trip, and what about the marriage proposal?" Sample?"

Li Peifeng hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "It's okay, everything went well."

……

"You two... Are you Ms. He?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Li, my partner."

"Hello Hello."

Perhaps due to the reason that they are proud in love and frustrated in the workplace, the two did not go well with the acquisition of Magnum Studios.

After arriving on time at 40 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Peifeng and He Yi dreamed of the boss Xu Long, a middle-aged man in his early [-]s, wearing jeans and a white shirt.

Under the leadership of Xu Long, the two visited a circle of studios. The employees worked as usual, with normal expressions, and occasionally peeked at the visitors. Although the voice of the discussion was very small, Li Peifeng knew everything about it.

They also knew that the studio was looking for investment, and when they met Li Peifeng and He Yimeng, they were all surprised that the buyer was so young.

"It doesn't look like an investment, it should be the rich second generation who wants to play tickets."

"We can't talk again."

"Don't make wild guesses, it doesn't seem to be the rich second generation, because that handsome guy looks familiar to me..."

"Don't tell me, that beauty looks familiar to me!"

Both Li Peifeng and He Yimeng are well-known, some people recognize it, some people don't, Xu Long belongs to the latter, seeing them so young, I thought they were the rich second generation who just graduated from university and wanted to find something to do , so with not-so-fluent eloquence, he tried his best to fool the two into investing in Magnum Studios.

That's right, from an acquisition to a shareholding.

Most entrepreneurs, if they are not really forced to do nothing, do not want to hand over their business to others, and Xu Long is the same. Seeing two suspected rich and ignorant people taking advantage of him, he just wants to get some money Come on, continue to control Magnum Studio by yourself, and develop a new project to bring it back to life...

Li Peifeng and He Yimeng looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking, but they also tacitly let Xu Long continue to act, listening to him draw big cakes, boasting how powerful his employees are and how his new project is. How creative.

When Xu Long spoke dryly and felt something was wrong in his heart, He Yimeng said with a half-smile: "Boss Xu doesn't seem to have any sincerity, I remember I was talking with you on the phone about the acquisition, why? After we arrived, did you change your tone again?"

Embarrassment flashed across Xu Long's eyes, and he laughed and said, "It's an acquisition. I'm willing to transfer 40.00% of the shares. How is this not an acquisition?"

"My partner may not have made it clear to you before that what we want is a wholly-owned acquisition, not a shareholding."

Li Peifeng calmly introduced himself: "I am an author of online articles, and the purpose of acquiring a game company is actually to operate the copyright of the work..."

Mr. Li briefly talked about his own ideas, and then bluntly stated that he could only acquire a wholly-owned investment, because you, Xu Long, are the founder of this company, and staying here will cause inconvenience to the subsequent management of the company, and then asked He Yimeng Said: "I think Boss Xu is still very reluctant to part with his company, let's go directly to the second one, there is no need to waste each other's time."

How can there be a second one for them to look at?

Time is in a hurry, so it would be great for He Yimeng to find such a studio that is on the verge of bankruptcy and has the conditions to develop RPG mobile games, but she knows that Li is acting, so she hummed cooperatively and got up to leave.

"Wait, wait, the two of you sit first, and it's not impossible to consider wholly-owned capital."

Xu Long saw that the negotiation was about to collapse, so he sighed and tried to persuade him to stay, and started the real negotiation.

But he insisted on the price of 500 million and refused to let go. The reason is that the studio is strong, and the two old games that are in operation still have a little turnover every month. As long as the publicity is proper and the gameplay is updated, they will surely be brought back to life.

Li Peifeng was satisfied with the price of 500 million, but He Yimeng shook his head repeatedly.

She had done enough homework before coming, and the highest estimate for the work of 'Menglong' was 300 million, but Xu Long's price was half higher, so this white hair started a fierce bargaining mode...

"We can give up the two previous mobile games of Magnum, and you can take them away, Boss Xu. After all, even if we take over, we will directly shut down their services and stop operations, and fully develop our own projects. Frankly speaking, what we value is only You have a mature team in your studio. We don’t need anything else, so I think 200 million is already a fair price.”

"If you are dissatisfied, we can only make another choice, or dig them in on the day Menglong disbands? Sorry, what I said was a bit harsh...but you have been in the business world for so many years, you should still be able to accept the reality right?"

Xu Long couldn't accept it at all, not because he couldn't accept the reality, but because he couldn't accept the price of 200 million.

The conversation reached a stalemate, He Yimeng really wanted to leave after leaving a word.

"The maximum is 260 million. This is our bottom line. If you are interested, call me again. If you are not interested, forget it. Goodbye."

He Yimeng left very decisively, although Li Peifeng wanted to agree in his heart, but he didn't show it, and followed He Yimeng calmly and left.

"500 million is high, but 400 million can still be considered... You directly opened [-], why are you so confident? What if he doesn't sell it, do you have a backup option?"

"Just two hundred and six. He will definitely contact me again within two days. Do you know why?"

"why?"

He Yimeng said: "First, there are not many people interested in acquiring this company, and the price we offered should be regarded as the highest. Otherwise, when he heard my final offer, his first reaction should not be hesitating. Instead, he frowned and dismissed. Second, I asked the property owner of this office building, the rent for the [-]th floor, which is the floor of Menglong, is due at the end of this month."

"Menglong rented an area of ​​[-] square meters. The rent here is [-] yuan per square meter per day, which is [-] yuan a month. This is not a big amount of money, but for Menglong who is struggling to maintain operations at the moment, it can be less. An expense is a sum. Besides, if Xu Long still wants to persevere, he has already paid the rent, so it won’t be delayed until now.”

"666!"

Facts have proved that He Yimeng's deduction is correct.

Before two days had passed, at noon the next day, Xu Long met with the two of them again. After another long conversation, they finally signed a contract at a price of 280 million and reached a wholly-owned acquisition transaction.

The layoffs that the employees in the studio were worried about did not happen, because Xu Long and the two new bosses immediately held a meeting to appease people after reaching the deal, promising that there would never be layoffs or salary cuts. Continue to expand enrollment to cope with the normal operation of the "Sword and Law" mobile game project.

"I will send you the outline of this book in a moment. The task of all of you at this stage is to read it as soon as possible."

Li Peifeng continued to add: "Of course, it's better to read the text that is now published. I suggest... read the original version! In order to prevent you from privately saying that I am a boss who cheats on public affairs and seeks money from his subordinates on the first day of taking over, In the evening, I will treat you to a big meal, and the meal price is [-] yuan per person!"

"Clap clap~"

The applause was very warm, and the employees were relieved. Some people who had heard of "Sword and Law" and understood its influence had already begun to imagine the achievements of this project.

"Does Mr. He have anything to add?"

He Yimeng shook her head lightly: "Let's adjourn the meeting."

"I just read dozens of chapters of Mr. Li's book yesterday. I can only say that I hate seeing each other so late, and I am shocked. If it is developed into a mobile game, it will definitely achieve great achievements in the future."

Back in the office, Xu Long sighed with regret: "Unfortunately, I can no longer participate in this project."

Li Peifeng smiled and said: "If you stay as the founder, Yimeng and I will have concerns. Please understand."

"Understand, understand."

Xu Long sighed, and then forced a smile: "Then I... say goodbye to them, and let them concentrate on working for the new employer in the future."

After he left, Li Peifeng turned his attention to He Yimeng.

The other party was wearing a one-piece dark gray suit and a pair of canvas shoes under his feet. He was stylish and capable. However, what Li Peifeng deserved most was He Yimeng's hair. The original three thousand black silk had been dyed back to black hair. Just today Dyed in the morning.

Li Peifeng was very surprised when he first met, and asked her why she dyed it back, and the answer was very simple: "I will have to manage it in the future, and it is not appropriate to wear a white hair."

It looks more serious, but less cute, what a pity!

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen enough?"

He Yimeng sat in front of the computer, sending the outline of "Sword and Law" to his subordinates, his eyes fixed on the screen without squinting.

Li Peifeng walked behind, massaged her shoulders and neck, and said, "I think you have worked so hard. You gave up your good psychological counseling, and I started a mobile game across industries with just one sentence. You will definitely worry about it in the future, so bear with it." I couldn’t help but look twice... By the way, I want to change the name Menglong, what do you think is better?"

He Yimeng took a deep breath: "You can call it whatever you want, as long as you don't press it so that I can call it out here."

Li Peifeng raised his eyebrows: "No way, my massage technique is very normal, I didn't forget to go at all."

"As long as you touch me, I can't help screaming! Let go, stay away from me in your human form, and don't test my willpower!"

Li Peifeng hates iron and steel: "You... you are a boss, why are you so weak? No, I have to test you!"

……

Young people may not understand the subtlety of time. It flows through everyone in the same way, but everyone spends time in different ways.

For Li Peifeng, who spends 160 hours a week, 160 hours in a awake state, his attitude towards time is more calm and calm.

In addition to code words every day, Li Peifeng occasionally goes to his mobile game company, or visits two other companies responsible for the animation and comics of "Sword and Law".

But more time and energy are still devoted to the girl by his side.

To stabilize and deepen the emotional connection with others is what Li Peifeng cherishes the most.

Under his management, the four girls living together have never had any major quarrels, but as the saying goes: How can one live without touching the bottom of the pot?
Even between two lovers, living together is still stumbling, not to mention one man and four women living in a villa?
Even if Li Peifeng tried his best to avoid it, small fights would be unavoidable.

In particular, after Zhao Qingge was proposed, his mentality seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. To put it bluntly, he became more possessive, and the hostess' mentality increased, which indirectly made the number of such small fights less frequent. Before the trip, it is still frequent...

The cause of the incident was that after everyone had eaten, Zhao Qingge said to Li Peifeng in an orderly tone, 'You should go to bed today, go back to the master bedroom', meaning let him sleep in the same room and bed with him.

It seemed that he wanted to get closer to Li Peifeng, but in fact, Lao Zhao wanted to keep Li in his hands so that he would not go to the other three girls' rooms in the middle of the night to do bad things.

Li Peifeng didn't say anything about this, and the three who lost their interests were unwilling, and Xu Maning was the first to speak in a strange voice: "Some people plan to occupy the latrine again and stop shitting."

Wu Wenyue also said: "Maybe it's because I got used to sleeping together during the two days of traveling, and I can't get used to the absence of a man on the bed."

Huang Tianxuan said with a smile: "That night in Sapp..."

The night of staying in the caravan under the Sapp Snow Mountain was still a thorn in Zhao Qingge's heart. When Huang Tianxuan mentioned it, her face immediately turned dark, and she sternly shouted to shut up.

Li Peifeng could bear this attitude, but the three of them were not used to it, so they raised their volume and shouted back on the spot.

"What's wrong? What are you yelling at?"

"Taking back your wedding ring, isn't that just asking you to marry me? I'm going to divorce sooner or later. Why are you so arrogant? Forgot how we discussed it at the beginning?"

"She didn't discuss it with us. I think she intends to monopolize it."

"Shameless, you are still his mentor, forget it? You don't want any teacher's morality, right? I'm ashamed for you!"

One mouth cannot say more than three mouths, Zhao Qingge didn't open his mouth to fight back, got up from the table and went upstairs to the master bedroom, and came down again with a big book in his hand, and took a picture of the thing called 'house ownership certificate' On the table, a loud voice said: "This is my house, if you continue to quarrel, please go out!"

This is a trump card, but the three girls' aura remained undiminished, either sneering or disdainful, and Xu Maning even looked at Li Peifeng and asked: "She kicked us out, don't you care? If you don't care, I will leave. We have a lot of houses. It seems that who would like to be here?" It's like living here!"

They quarreled a lot, Li Peifeng coaxed a lot more, and was a little impatient, but he continued to eat calmly: "None of you need to leave, I'll leave after dinner, I'll just go find a hotel outside and stay overnight .”

Xu Manning's tone froze, she didn't expect Li Peifeng to react like this, but Wu Wenyue curled her lips: "You still need to go to the hotel? Just find a wild woman's house and sleep at home, this place can't keep you warm anymore!"

Huang Tianxuan frowned: "Peifeng, is this your attitude towards solving problems? Now that you're showing your original shape, what will you do in the future?"

Zhao Qingge was really angry, staring at Li Peifeng expressionlessly without saying a word.

Li Peifeng glanced at her, then glanced around again: "Is it okay if I don't sleep? I won't be sleepy today."

"What about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"

Zhao Qingge paused word by word: "What about after you marry me? Are you still planning to split the room?"

"At that time, I actually wanted to book a special big bed for five people..."

"!!"

The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous, Li Peifeng knew he had slipped his words, raised his rice bowl a bit, and slammed the rice into his mouth.

"Li Peifeng, tell me clearly!"

With a livid face, Zhao Qingge wanted to ask him what he meant by ordering a big bed, but Li Peifeng's cell phone rang.

Video call, caller, Yu Huizhi!

"Hello, Mom?"

Li Peifeng quickly connected, and the camera scanned the faces of several girls one by one, and their expressions also unified into unnatural smirks.

"Hello Auntie."

"How is your health?"

"You are all right."

Yu Huizhi responded politely, and when she saw Li Peifeng's face reappeared in the camera, she tentatively asked, "Fengfeng, what are you...doing?"

"eat."

Yu Huizhi muttered, 'I thought we were arguing', and then smiled: "The TV series "The Evil Boss" has been released, and the ratings are quite high. Have you all watched it?"
