Chapter 11 The First Business Order Fund

Just when I needed money, someone sent me a business order.

I just don't know how much money it will have.

[Of course, what exactly is the ad?]
Ding Yi replied casually and prepared to get up and pour a glass of water.

As soon as I put down the phone, the message came again.

[Excuse me, do you have time to communicate via WeChat or phone? That would be more convenient.]
[sure.]
You are the customer, you have the final say, Ding Yi has no objection.

Soon, within a few seconds, the other party called.

After answering the call, a clear male voice was heard from the other end.

[Hello, we are from Changshuang Beer Group, my last name is Liu, and I am the operations manager.]
[Well, your company recently released a free game on the Cyber ​​platform called "Devil's Roulette."]
[Because of the popularity and high heat, the company leaders attach great importance to the prospects and decided to contact your company to advertise and promote our beer products. Do you think it is okay? ]
Yes, why not? As long as the money is in place.

Ding Yi smiled.

To be honest, when he saw it was a beer merchant's bill, he roughly guessed what kind of advertisement it would be.

There are only three kinds.

1: Post dynamic promotions like all the major UP hosts.

2: Organize activities with beer as prize.

3: Game implantation, replacement of textures, etc.

But the specific form it takes depends on what the other party thinks.

But no matter what, it is impossible to force you to watch videos and have crazy pop-up ads like an APP does.

"Of course. Does your group have a specific advertising plan?" Ding Yi replied.

[Yes, please wait a moment.]
As he was speaking, the sound of a mouse clicking was heard on the phone.

Then, Manager Liu spoke again.

[We currently have a preliminary plan, let’s see if your company can accept it.]
[In the game "Devil's Roulette", there is a beer item, which can deflect a bullet and skip a round after drinking it.]
[We hope to replace this prop with our product. We have also consulted professionals, and they said that we only need to change the sticker or something. What do you think?]
Sure enough, it was a change of prop texture, which was within his expectations.

This level of advertising is naturally acceptable.

To be honest, even if the person who came this time was selling drinks, as long as the price was right, he could find someone to remodel it and replace the beer with something else.

"No problem, I can accept it."

[That's great. I'll send you our expected price list and you can see if it's suitable.]
[Since this is the first time we have used this form of advertising, we are still trying to figure out the effect and benefits. Therefore, this is just a test run and we may be more strict with the price.]
While Manager Liu was speaking, Ding Yi had already clicked on the price PDF and started browsing it.

The price on the document is clearly marked.

'The total duration is 14 days, the unit price is 1 per day, a total of 14.'

I have to say, this money is indeed little.

According to data from the Cyber ​​Platform, the number of online users of "Devil's Roulette" has reached 7, with the peak at night being even higher, with nearly 10 people playing.

If advertisements were placed in this kind of game and used as a prop, this number of people would be covered.

This is much better than the random ads in mobile games. At least it won’t be annoying.

But considering that the other party was also trying the waters for the first time and he also needed the funds currently, after thinking about it, Ding Yi did not bargain.

The most urgent task is to make "Rotten Meat" as soon as possible, earn fear points, and then buy "7 Days to Die".

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to agree to this business and do it well, so as to let other industries bear witness and attract more business.

But the necessary remarks still need to be made. This is how the workplace is. Being too smooth will only lead to constant price reduction.

"Manager Liu, to be honest, your group is not the first customer to place a business order with us. Your price is indeed a bit low."

"But your demands are more reasonable than those of other companies and easier for us to accept."

“So we decided to take on the business.”

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then smiled. [We want to see the most result of reaching cooperation with Star Games. Devil Roulette is really a good work. I hope your company can make more good games in the future. We also hope that our cooperation can continue. Win-win is the situation we all want to see.]
[If there are no problems, then tomorrow. Oh no, tomorrow is Sunday, and the finance department is closed. Then can we sign the contract next Monday?]
"Of course, it's a pleasure to work with you."

[It's a pleasure to work with you.]
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yi stared at the computer with a smile on his face.

I have to say that popularity is a good thing, it attracts capitalists.

This cooperation is just the beginning.

If it can set an example, other companies might also come and place advertisements.

After all, there are more props in the game than just beer, there are also cigarettes.

Of course, beer can be replaced with drinks and cigarettes can be replaced with snacks.

Therefore, with this huge popularity, there are ample opportunities.

Although this business order is only worth 14, as long as we do it well, we will have no worries about lack of business.

So, he thought of a way that was both fair and interesting.

That is to make a new prop with special effects for Changshuang Beer instead of simply changing the texture.

Only in this way can the players have a deeper impression and form a subconscious mind.

Next time you buy beer, if you see the same product as the one in the game, you may be more likely to buy it.

This is the effectiveness of advertising.

Time soon came to Monday.

The signing process went very smoothly. After both parties printed out the contract and stamped it, they scanned it into an electronic file and sent it to the other party. The matter was then completed.

In 2024, most businesses worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars basically do not require face-to-face conversations or meetings to discuss in detail with the other party's boss.

As long as the communication is in place, you can directly send the electronic contract, print it out and stamp it with the official seal.

Ding Yi is the legal representative of Star Games, so the corporate account is an additional bank card he opened.

After the password was changed, the finance department of Changshuang Beer transferred the funds that afternoon.

14, no more, no less.

Looking at the first payment of funds, Ding Yi smiled again.

He first asked Manager Liu for the bottle design of Changshuang Beer, and then went straight to the e-commerce platform to look for part-time modeling college students.

After a lot of screening, I finally set my eyes on a personal shop called "Game Modeling".

The reason I chose this company is that in addition to the good customer reviews, it also has a high credit rating, affordable prices, and a lot of picture returns.

According to the details page, the store specializes in game scene modeling.

And they promise that as long as the project is not too complicated, they can complete it as soon as possible.

Therefore, considering the cost-effectiveness issue, Ding Yi gave them the design drawings of Changshuang Beer and asked them how long it would take to model it.

After the evaluation, the other party said that it could be completed in 2 hours, the fee was 120 yuan, the quality was guaranteed, and it could be revised three times.

Seeing this, Ding Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"120 yuan, huh? OK, let's test the waters with this first. If they do well, we'll sign a confidentiality agreement with them and let them create the scenes for the new game."

Just like that, payment, submission of drawings, waiting, and receipt of manuscripts were all done in one go.

When Ding Yi got the beer can modeling file, he checked it and found nothing that needed to be modified.

So, after running it in 8K quality, we incorporated it into the game.

That night, Devil's Roulette received a .2mb update.

　Thanks to the Last White Knight and God-level Devil for their two monthly tickets. Thanks to Not That Lemon Meng for their monthly tickets.
