Chapter 59:
Penguin, a gaming company that relied on copying to crush original works.
Naturally, it didn't have the trust of netizens.
Because of this, they stopped cursing at Da Wei!
At this moment, Tang Yu smiled faintly: "Da Wei, I believe in you."
Hearing this, Da Wei trembled all over. He was a little moved.
He looked at Tang Yu with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you."
The other employees of Bu Fan Studio were also moved to tears by Tang Yu's words "I believe in you."
"May I ask, how much are you planning to invest this time?" Da Wei stabilized his emotions and returned to the main topic.
Tang Yu smiled and stared at Da Wei as he asked: "Before I tell you how much I'm investing, I want to ask you first—what does your studio have that's worth me investing in?"
As soon as these words came out, the viewers were all dumbfounded.
Wait!
Weren't you here to invest?
Why are you suddenly making things difficult for them?
Da Wei's face instantly turned bitter. He stammered for a while before finally saying in a low voice: "I love games very much, and so do my employees. We need investment, but… we cannot guarantee that we can make money for you!"
After saying this, his face turned red.
If it were a normal person raising investment, they would definitely paint a big, beautiful picture for the investor.
Whether they could make money or not was secondary—first learn to brag, get the money first.
This was actually the same routine as some new energy vehicle companies in China.
But Da Wei was an honest man.
He didn't want to deceive this kind young man named Tang Yu.
Tang Yu was also a bit amused and helpless. He didn't expect Da Wei to be so honest and straightforward.
No wonder his studio couldn't survive.
In this society, honest people can never develop.
"I know you all love games. That's also why I came to you."
"The reality is, in today's gaming environment, small game studios really have a hard time making a profit. Many studios are even losing money just to keep operating."
At this point, Tang Yu gave a mysterious smile and said word by word: "But I now have a game concept. As long as this game is made, I guarantee that the return rate will be absolutely astonishing."
"How astonishing?" Da Wei looked at Tang Yu and asked.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable trust toward Tang Yu.
Tang Yu stretched out one hand and opened his palm.
Da Wei's eyes immediately widened.
"Five times return rate?"
The employees around Da Wei all exchanged glances, confusion in their eyes.
As game developers, they understood too well how much investment a game required.
To break even, the game needed to at least be a small hit.
To make a profit, it needed to be a medium hit.
And to achieve more than five times the return, only a massive hit could do that.
When Tang Yu said this, it was either because he had extraordinary confidence, or he was a complete outsider with blind confidence.
Since Tang Yu was a streamer, they subconsciously assumed he belonged to the latter.
Because he didn't understand the cruelty of the gaming industry, he had the blind confidence of an outsider.
Tang Yu shook his head and said to Da Wei with utmost seriousness: "Fifty times."
BOOM!
The moment those words came out, Da Wei's mind exploded.
He even felt like laughing.
What did a fifty times return rate even mean?
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Looks like you know nothing about games."
The other employees of Bu Fan Studio also showed disappointment on their faces. Outsiders were ultimately outsiders.
In the live room, the viewers also shook their heads one after another.
Originally they thought Tang Yu was really going to make a big move in the gaming industry.
But now it seemed, this was just a young man talking big without thinking.
Even as players, they knew that in today's market, no game could achieve a fifty times return rate.
Not even Penguin's massively popular large-scale competitive game, LOL, could do it.
{This brag is a bit too big!} {Yeah! He really doesn't understand games at all!} {I originally thought he could bring some vitality to the current lifeless gaming circle! But it turns out… sigh!} {Haha! You guys had too high expectations of him. Just watch with a normal mindset.} {.....}
At the same time.
Penguin Headquarters!
Marketing Director Zhao Xiaoxin was drinking coffee while watching Tang Yu's live stream.
When he heard Tang Yu's claim, the coffee in his mouth nearly sprayed out.
The beautiful secretary standing beside him quickly handed him a tissue.
"Director, what's wrong?" the secretary asked with concern.
Zhao Xiaoxin shook his head with a smile. He pointed at Tang Yu on the screen: "This guy is an idiot!"
"Earlier when the Douyin CEO and Tiger Cat CEO made a bet with him, I started paying attention to him."
"I didn't expect to see him make such an idiotic statement today. Dying of laughter."
"If a game can achieve a fifty times return rate, I'll go live and eat shit."
The secretary glanced at the screen. Seeing Tang Yu's handsome face, her eyes lit up slightly.
But to cater to her boss, she also mocked: "Hehe! Just a naive kid! What does he know? Director, don't waste your time on him."
"Originally I thought, since both the Douyin CEO and Tiger Cat CEO were interested in him, he might be a genius. I was paying attention just to see what kind of game he would release later."
"If there really was a good idea, I wouldn't mind stealing it."
"But now it looks like there's no need at all. What a waste of my time."
Zhao Xiaoxin stopped talking after saying this!
On the other side.
Tang Yu also knew that no one believed him right now.
But he didn't care.
He continued speaking to Da Wei: "My game concept is very good, but relying on me alone, it will still be a bit difficult to produce it in a short time."
"So that's why you want to invest in our studio?" Da Wei's eyes lit up as he asked.
Tang Yu: "...."
Wait!
I've already hinted so obviously—why can't you understand?
"Ahem…" Tang Yu coughed twice and decided to be direct. He said to Da Wei: "I'll provide the money and the concept. You guys just need to work on it."
Hearing this, how could Da Wei not understand what Tang Yu meant!
The other party wasn't here to invest!
He was here to acquire!
Da Wei fell silent.
Bu Fan Studio was something he had built with his own hands. Now he had to hand it over.
To be honest, it hurt a lot.
But…
If he didn't sell, Bu Fan Studio wouldn't be able to continue operating anyway.
After thinking it over, Da Wei realized he had no other choice!
