Post-2000 boss: You can be late up to seven days a week!

Chapter 232 Mr. Cao is really my soulmate!

"Eh???"

After hearing what the other said clearly, the two of them stared at each other with their eyes widened, and couldn't help but froze.

Teacher Liu was the first to react and looked at the huge sea in front of him with surprise.

“No profit required???”

This was the first time he heard this condition. If he was publishing a book for himself without profit, wouldn't it be a pure loss-making business? ? ?

How could such a shrewd businessman like Mr. Cao say such a thing? ? ?

Teacher Liu couldn't help but frown, and looked at the huge sea in front of him with some suspicion.

Pang Panghai also coughed a few times and explained:

"That's it"

Pang Panghai said Cao Che's words exactly as they were. Hearing this, Teacher Liu became even more confused.

"But the sales volume of the game is not good either. Why does Mr. Cao want to help me like this???"

If the sales of the game are booming because of the plot, then he can understand to some extent Cao Che's approach, which is nothing more than selling personal favors, seeking long-term cooperation, or consolidating his intention to cooperate next time.

But now the game can be said to be no longer possible, and even a return is far away.

Teacher Liu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled that Cao Che actually helped him in this way.

Pang Panghai listened to Teacher Liu's doubts, coughed a few times, and explained:
"Perhaps it was Mr. Liu that your plot impressed Brother Che?"

"Oh?"

When Teacher Liu heard this, he immediately became interested. Did he not expect that the plot he wrote would have such a big impact on the business genius?
"Appreciate further details!"

Teacher Liu adjusted his sitting position and looked at Pang Panghai with piercing eyes.

Pang Dahai pursed his dry lips and took a sip of the coffee in front of him, looking a little embarrassed.

"I'm just guessing! Teacher Liu, I can't fully understand Brother Che's thoughts, so just listen to this..."

Pang Panghai issued words like a disclaimer.

After coughing a few times, he continued:
"Your three plots respectively illustrate the two possibilities of the present and the future."

Although Pang Panghai did not finally play the game, the plot in the game was directly adapted from the manuscript submitted by Teacher Liu.

As the person in charge of the bookstore, he read all Teacher Liu's manuscripts very responsibly. Naturally, it is not difficult to guess the subsequent plot.

Teacher Liu nodded and motioned to Pang Hai to continue.

"I heard from Guanshan that Brother Che wouldn't be finished until the first plot was over, and then he ordered us to publish a book for you as soon as possible, so he may know what you want to express."

"What do you want to express?"

Teacher Liu was suddenly stunned. What did he want to express?

A revolving door of memories immediately appeared in Teacher Liu's mind.

This first plot is adapted from his first novel, but this is just an idea in his mind.

Why do you want to pick up a pen and write?

Teacher Liu frowned and seemed unable to recall.

Pang Panghai didn't seem to notice anything strange about Teacher Liu, but continued to talk.

"In my opinion, Brother Che wants to find the third of the two futures you gave!"

"Third type???"

Teacher Liu frowned in confusion.

Pang Panghai nodded vigorously.

"Your first story in the game is almost all about tragedies that are common in society, especially the burdens placed on workers like us!"

When Teacher Liu heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Actually, your text group also provided a lot of material, such as intrigues in the workplace and various sadistic tragedies. They also contributed a lot to this part and even added a lot of content to my book. !" Faced with Teacher Liu's modesty, Pang Panghai still shook his head.

"What Mr. Cao has to do now is to change the status quo!"

With that said, Pang Panghai took out a red booklet from his pocket.

"I believe you should have read this book!"

Teacher Liu looked at Cao Che's quotations in front of him and nodded vigorously.

“Mr. Cao’s views are very essential and thought-provoking!”

It was precisely because of reading this book that Teacher Liu treated Cao Che so enthusiastically.

In his view, Cao Che was more than just someone who helped him during difficult times.

He is also a philosopher with a spirit of struggle and criticism in his heart.

Pang Panghai put the book in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of him, his expression extremely serious.

"Brother Che, he may want your views to spread further and longer..."

"Although the novels you write are science fiction, many of them contain opinions and even criticisms on contemporary social issues. In a sense, Brother Che is the same as you!"

"So. This morning, Brother Che decided to promote the plot of the game without reservation and cut off the income from the game to help promote your book."

"Eh???"

Teacher Liu was a little dumbfounded after listening to Pang Hai's words.

“Promote the plot of the game???”

"That's right! Just use video or online live broadcast so that the plot you write can be seen by more people!"

Although Teacher Liu does not usually play games, he has experienced writing texts and getting along with the staff of the text team day and night.

He also has some understanding of the plot.

Just like a novel, if the other party knows the development of the matter and the direction of the plot, then reading the novel will completely lose the sense of exploration and curiosity.

This is also the reason why many movies can only be watched in offline theaters when they are first released online.

This is to protect the basic income of creators.

If the plot of the game is promoted like this, then the sales volume will naturally not be that high.

This is completely a matter of losing money and making a profit.

The problem is, if this shouting was made by Cuttlefish Company, then I might be able to understand it a little bit.

But the other party is making money for himself!
After all, this plot is adapted from his upcoming novel!

This is equivalent to promoting and warming up for him in advance.

Teacher Liu was stunned on the spot. He looked at Pang Panghai with a pale face and said in a trembling tone:

"This game. If I remember correctly, the investment alone cost 10 million, right???"

Pang Dahai shook his head decisively: "No! It's 20 million!"

When Teacher Liu heard this, he almost fell to the ground.

“Twenty to twenty million???”

This does not include labor costs. The funds alone are equivalent to Cao Che spending 20 million to promote his new book.

How virtuous and capable is this!
Teacher Liu suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart. Just now, he was wondering whether the other party wanted to recover royalties or because the sales of the game were sluggish. He felt that he was of little value and wanted to discuss increasing the profit share between the two parties.

But I never expected that the other party not only had no idea in this regard, but even directly cut off the revenue from the newly developed game to help promote the new book.

With such a close friend, what do you want in this life?

Teacher Liu looked at the huge sea in front of him with emotion on his face.

"Mr. Cao. He is really my soulmate!!!"
