my return 2002

Chapter 185 The shock brought by 100

"Mr. Shen Chen?" Xiao Ding stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes. He couldn't believe it. He is the boss of Inspur Technology. Isn't he too young?

Moreover, Shen Lang's outfit didn't look like he was rich, and it was too casual, it didn't feel as well dressed as him.

Shen Lang smiled at Xiao Ding and shrugged: "It's okay, you're not the first one who didn't recognize me, and you won't be the last."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Shen, I didn't expect you to be so young." Xiao Ding was so anxious that he almost scratched his head. Don't look at the author who usually speaks eloquently and passionately in the book. In fact, most of the authors have some social phobias. .

Shen Lang patted Xiao Ding's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, come to my office to chat."

Xiao Ding secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then came to an office, er, it was simpler than he expected, and it was far from the splendor he imagined.

"Mr. Xiao, sit down, there's no other way, start-up companies spend their money wisely, what a joke." Shen Lang poured Xiao Ding a cup of tea.

Xiao Ding took it over and smiled embarrassingly: "I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I thought that a company like Inspur Technology should at least be Shanda's. I'm making you laugh."

"Haha, Shanda is a listed company, and its scale is more than five times our current size."

"But a Jianyu Jianghu is about to catch up with the entire Shanda's revenue. I believe that it will only be a matter of time before Inspur Technology surpasses Shanda."

Perhaps it was because of the young people, Xiao Ding gradually let go, and his speech became more and more clear.

Seeing this, Shen Lang said to Xiao Ding: "That's it. We are preparing for a new online game project recently. I think [Zhu Xian] is very suitable for game adaptation. I wonder if Mr. Xiao is interested in cooperating with our company?"

"Of course. Interested." Xiao Ding was excited, and finally came to the topic.

Shen Lang nodded, called Wang Tao in, and introduced to Xiao Ding: "This is the person in charge of our game department, and also the person in charge of the Jianyujianghu project team."

Wang Tao and Xiao Ding shook hands and greeted each other.

Shen Lang said sternly: "Mr. Xiao, that's it. I hope that our cooperation this time is not just a transaction of the adaptation rights of [Zhu Xian], but a more in-depth cooperation."

Xiao Ding was obviously taken aback for a moment: "Mr. Shen, what do you mean by more in-depth cooperation?"

"Let's put it this way, I hope that Mr. Xiao can participate in the development of our game. After all, no one understands the essence of this work better than the author of the original work."

Shen Lang looked directly into Xiao Ding's eyes, and his tone was filled with enthusiasm: "Mr. Xiao, what we developed this time is not a game in the traditional sense, but a complete world, even if it is a small game in the game. NPCs should have their own stories. I hope that after every player enters the game, they will forget that this is a game. They are no longer a group of monster-spawning machines. Rejoice in this achievement."

Xiao Ding got goosebumps when he heard it, this kind of game is something he never dared to think about before, maybe it has gone beyond the category of games, this is art.

Most importantly, he also has the opportunity to participate in the creation of a world where every word he writes will be reproduced, even if it is a grass, a tree, or a brick.

Just thinking about it makes him tremble all over, Xiao Ding took several deep breaths before forcing himself to calm down.

"Mr. Shen, I'm very interested in this project, but if it's just me alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete such a huge project."

Shen Lang waved his hand: "This is not a problem. As long as you want, you can ask someone for help. I will pay them according to the highest salary level of the authors of online articles."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding immediately said: "Then I'm fine, I'm willing to join this project."

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, we haven't discussed the copyright of [Zhu Xian] yet."

Xiao Ding rubbed his hands in embarrassment, for a literati, he is not as confident as a businessman when talking about money.

"How about this, 100 million RMB, to buy all the copyrights of [Zhu Xian], Mr. Xiao, what do you think?" Seeing that Xiao Ding had no intention of making an offer, Shen Lang took the initiative to offer an offer.

This price was definitely not low in 2004, and it can even be said to be a huge amount. You must know that Sohu Changyou later bought the adaptation rights of ten novels by Mr. Jin, and it was only 2000 million. That was after 2010.

Even Xiao Ding himself was stunned. Before he came here, the price in his mind was 30 yuan. With this 30 yuan, he could buy a pretty good house in his hometown in Fujian.

What is the concept of 100 million? [Zhu Xian] was released in Baodao Province, which only brought him tens of thousands of dollars in income. In 2004, the term millionaire had just become popular, and anyone who could have 100 million in cash was definitely considered a rich man.

As for the adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" or the entire copyright, Xiao Ding didn't care at all. He didn't just write this book all his life, not to mention that without the promotion of Inspur Technology, the copyright value of "Zhu Xian" couldn't be fully utilized. He can write fairy tales by himself.

"Mr. Shen, are you sure it's 100 million RMB?" Xiao Ding asked cautiously.

Shen Lang smiled and said to Wang Tao: "You go to the legal department to draft a full copyright transfer contract for [Zhu Xian], with a price tag of 100 million RMB, and let the financial department transfer 100 million cash to Mr. Xiao."

Wang Tao went out, but Xiao Ding was completely stunned. He wanted to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming, but he felt a little embarrassed in front of Shen Lang, so he could only look anxiously at the direction Wang Tao left outside the office.

After half an hour, Wang Tao finally came, holding two contracts in his hand, and the financial manager also came in, asking for Xiao Ding's bank card account number and a copy of his ID card.

Only at this time did Shen Lang know that Xiao Ding's surname was Zhang.

Xiao Ding was so excited that his hands were trembling when he signed the contract, he managed to calm down, and then signed his name on the contract stroke by stroke, pressing his fingerprints.

Shen Lang shook hands with Xiao Ding: "Mr. Xiao, happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasant cooperation, thank you Mr. Shen."

Afterwards, Shen Lang chatted with Xiao Ding about the salary for participating in the [Zhu Xian] project. Originally, Xiao Ding didn't plan to ask for salary, but Shen Lang still gave him a monthly salary of [-].

"This project cannot be completed in a day or two. We will develop various expansion packs in the future. It may take two or three years. You can't let you work for me hungry, can you?"

Xiao Ding was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. After receiving the 80 credit information (20% personal income tax), he stayed in a nearby hotel under Shen Lang's arrangement.

In the hotel room, Xiao Ding read the text messages on his mobile phone over and over again, but finally felt uneasy, so he called a taxi, went to the nearby bank, checked at the bank counter, and confirmed that 80 was indeed lying in his account. I was relieved.

After getting the money, Xiao Ding went back to the hotel again, but couldn't fall asleep, so he found an Internet cafe nearby and logged on to his QQ.

The last time Jinhe searched for the Xianxia author in the QQ group, it had already been spread in the circle.

"Fuck, Master Ding is here."

"Kneeling to welcome Lord Ding, Lord Ding heard that your [Zhu Xian] will also be adapted? Is it true?"

Xiao Ding was just 28 years old at this time, and when he was in high spirits, he suddenly had a huge sum of 80 yuan in his pocket. In 2004, apart from the rich second generation, how many young people could have so much money?Inevitably a little embarrassing.

"That's right, I just came out of Inspur Technology, the contract has been signed, and I got all the money."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the QQ group was boiling, and more than that, the members of the QQ group began to forward it quickly, and the news spread in an instant, and almost everyone in this circle heard the wind.

"Damn it, Mr. Ding, how much did you sell? Did you get rich?"

"Niu, Lord Ding, let me say that your [Zhu Xian] is suitable for adapting games. How much did Inspur Technology pay?"

Xiao Ding played proudly: 100
"Huh? Only a hundred? No way?"

"Fuck, are you stupid? One hundred is worth a special trip to Shanghai, it's obviously one million!"

"100 million? Master Ding is awesome, what the hell, is this copyright fee higher than that of Mr. Jin?"

The shock brought by the figure of 100 million in 2004 was undoubtedly huge. At that time, even in first-tier cities, the average salary was only around 100, and 42 million needed to be saved for [-] years without eating or drinking.

Xiao Ding just obtained the copyright of a book, how can he not make these authors envious?When everyone is still struggling to generate electricity for love, they have already achieved financial freedom, and they are also writing books. Why can’t I?
Especially for those leading authors who have already emerged, it is even more exciting.

For a while, Inspur Technology has become synonymous with "stupid people and rich money" among the online article writers, and they all look forward to cooperating with Inspur Technology one day.

Authors are in turmoil, and novel websites are not idle. At this time, various novel websites are still struggling to survive. Singularity launched VIP members to pay for reading last year, but most authors can only earn some pocket money, and the website has no Not to mention Huanjian Shumeng, which is profitable, has not yet found a mature business model, and cannot support a novel website with advertising fees, and has been in a state of losing money.

starting point.

"Old Wu, old Wu, have you heard?"

Wu Wenhui saw Lin Tingfeng running into his office sweating profusely, and asked curiously, "What did you hear?"

Panting heavily, Lin Tingfeng picked up the water in the glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Do you know Xiao Ding's [Zhu Xian]?"

"Can you stop talking nonsense, if you have something to say, if you have nothing to do, wash my cup and pour me a glass of water." Wu Wenhui said impatiently.

"Xiao Ding's [Zhu Xian] copyright has been sold to Inspur Technology, do you know the transaction price?"

"How much?" Wu Wenhui's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

"Well, I'm still a little thirsty."

"If you're not afraid of me spitting in it, I'll pour it for you."

Lin Tingfeng: After thinking about it, I don't want to be a fool. This guy might really be able to do it.

"One million! A full one million!"

"100 million?" Wu Wenhui couldn't close his mouth: "Isn't Inspur Technology too willing to pay?"

Lin Tingfeng said nonchalantly: "Hey, what's that? Didn't you read the data released by Jianyu Jianghu? Last month, the monthly revenue was more than 5000 million. This little money is worth it."

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Wu Wenhui suddenly said to Lin Tingfeng with a serious face: "Hurry up and prepare another copy of the materials for Shanda, and then contact Inspur Technology to see if you can meet with Mr. Shen."

"What do you mean?" Lin Tingfeng lost his previous cynical expression.

Wu Wenhui nodded: "Before, we only had Shanda in our eyes. I didn't expect that Inspur Technology would be so willing to spend money. It cost 100 million yuan to buy a copyright. What if he is interested in our website? And the 360 ​​browser navigation function of Inspur Technology , and can also attract traffic to our website.”

The more Wu Wenhui talked, the more excited she became, and Lin Tingfeng was also very excited. The two hit it off and started to prepare immediately.

When Shen Lang heard the name Wu Wenhui from the lady at the front desk, he always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. When the lady at the front desk added that the other party was the founder of Singularity, Shen Lang suddenly realized.

Shen Lang's heart moved. In 2004, the online literature industry was still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones. At the same time, it was also an era of high-quality products. At this time, most of the authors were generating electricity for love, and what they wrote was what they thought in their hearts. Although Most authors lack writing skills, but it is this non-commercial writing technique that is easier to impress people.

As an upstream industry for creating IP, the online literature industry can well supplement Inspur Technology’s IP resource library, and at the same time, it can get in touch with more outstanding authors.

Moreover, the current Singularity is still very cheap. Shen Lang remembers that Shanda's wholly-owned acquisition of the starting point only cost 200 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 1000 million yuan.

This deal is definitely not a loss, Shen Lang readily agreed to meet with Wu Wenhui.

When the news reached Singularity, not only Wu Wenhui, but the entire founding team and editors of Singularity were very excited. Judging from Inspur Technology’s purchase of the copyright of [Zhu Xian] at a sky-high price of 100 million, this deal should be very promising. After all, Singularity now has a lot of high-quality works in the library.

"Old Wu, we have already had a grand contact before, and now we are talking with Inspur Technology all of a sudden, if we let them know, will it be bad?" Lin Tingfeng was a little worried.

Wu Wenhui waved her hand, "What are you afraid of? We haven't signed a contract with Shanda. Besides, it's good that they know about it. Maybe we can get more favorable conditions."

Speaking of this, Wu Wenhui suddenly came to his senses and slapped his thigh: "That's right, we have to let them know, so that we can have more right to speak."

Shanda, Chen Tianqiao was working, when suddenly the secretary approached him and whispered.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Singularity Chinese Network is in contact with Inspur Technology."

"Singularity? Does it have something to do with us?" Chen Tianqiao asked suspiciously.

The secretary reminded embarrassingly: "That... Mr. Tan wants to acquire this company, and he approached it once before."

"Okay, I see. You call Lao Tan here, and I will understand the situation."
