Chapter 1534 Nie Yun Sheng: I Can Do It Too! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Friday, March 22nd.

Stepping onto the soil of Jingzhou, Nie Yun Sheng was filled with ambition.

This time, he shouldered a heavy responsibility: to bring Yan Qi's "Shu Li" team and the Morning Dew Games platform under the banner of the anti-Tengda alliance!

Of course, this was a bit difficult, after all, Jingzhou was Tengda's territory.

But it was precisely because of making these small moves under President Pei's nose that it was so exciting!

Nie Yun Sheng felt that the probability of success was still quite high.

On the one hand, there were several game channels in the anti-Tengda alliance, as well as the support of several investment companies. There was absolutely no shortage of money.

And for Yan Qi, he would definitely be short of money to make a game of the level of "Shu Li." The money earned from his previous mobile game, "Blade of Empire," would be difficult to support him in fully developing this AAA masterpiece.

Nie Yun Sheng was offering money and wouldn't interfere too much with him. Surely no one would refuse money, right?

Of course, if Tengda made a move, that would be another matter. After all, Tengda was like a sacred place in the hearts of domestic game developers, and they were not short of money.

But the problem was that since Yan Qi's team had not publicized it, it probably meant that they had not received Tengda's investment.

Could it be because it was right under their noses? Or because Tengda preferred to put money into their own game projects and looked down on other companies' game projects?

In any case, this provided Nie Yun Sheng with an opportunity to sneak attack!

Nie Yun Sheng couldn't help but think of what happened before.

Back then, he, Lu Mingliang, was able to sneak into Shanghai and pull off a trick under their noses, catching Sheng Yun Group off guard during the live broadcast. So why couldn't he, Nie Yun Sheng, do the opposite and launch a counter-attack against Tengda in Jingzhou?

What they can do, I can do too!

With this high-spirited mood, Nie Yun Sheng arrived at the office building where the Morning Dew Games platform and Yan Qi's "Shu Li" team were located.

This time, he would be successful even if he could only bring Yan Qi's team over. If he could also bring in the Morning Dew Games platform, that would be a complete victory.

He wouldn't fail to bring in even one, right? That shouldn't be possible.

Could money really be completely ineffective?

This time, a vice president came with him, and had already communicated with Yan Qi.

It sounded like Yan Qi's attitude was rather perfunctory, but he still agreed to meet and talk.

Nie Yun Sheng felt that this was normal. Sheng Yun Group was, after all, a logistics company. It would be normal for people to think it was unreliable for them to come and invest in games, and it was normal for their attitude to be cold.

As long as they could meet, that was good.

Because after meeting, Nie Yun Sheng would present the game channel merchants and investors who had already established cooperative relationships, so that Yan Qi could see his sincerity and strong strength.

At that time, the success rate of cooperation would naturally be greatly improved.

Before meeting with Yan Qi, Nie Yun Sheng first saw the situation of the "Shu Li" team.

Well, it was indeed as rumored, thriving and full of vitality!

Although he couldn't see the specific game results, this kind of spirit couldn't be faked.

A positive and motivated team may not necessarily be able to produce a successful product, but a team that is emotionally low and severely internally conflicted can never produce a successful product.

However, after seeing the scene in the office area, Nie Yun Sheng had new worries.

Because he found that Yan Qi's team didn't seem to be particularly short of money either?

If it was a very cash-strapped start-up team, then everything would definitely be simple, and the office environment would definitely not be very good.

However, Yan Qi's team obviously didn't have a bad office environment.

Of course, whether a team is short of money cannot be judged entirely from the current situation of the office area. After all, some bosses like to put on a show, and even if they are poor, they must make a good impression. And some bosses are more pragmatic, and even if the company has money, they will not spend a lot of money to improve the office environment, beautifying it as maintaining the spirit of hard work.

This varies from person to person, and whether they are short of money or not must be asked in person to determine.

After passing through the office area, Nie Yun Sheng met Yan Qi in the reception room.

"President Yan, hello!"

Yan Qi stood up and said very politely, "President Nie, hello."

The two shook hands and exchanged greetings, and then took their seats.

Nie Yun Sheng very cleverly first chatted with Yan Qi about the game's situation and development progress, and then asked: "President Yan, what is the estimated investment in this game?"

Yan Qi hesitated slightly: "Uh... a lot."

He didn't want to say the specific number. After all, the research and development expenses were not exactly top secret, but it wouldn't be appropriate to tell everyone that we invested more than 100 million in this game.

Whether to publicize it or not would depend on the publicity strategy after the game was launched.

Nie Yun Sheng asked tentatively, "50 million?"

Yan Qi coughed lightly twice and said nothing.

Nie Yun Sheng was shocked and asked again: "100 million?"

Yan Qi reluctantly said: "I can't disclose the specific amount, but... almost."

Nie Yun Sheng couldn't help but gasp, thinking that this guy was really daring.

Calculated, this was equivalent to a large production costing more than ten million dollars overseas. It was really reckless for a mobile game team to transform so decisively.

But for Nie Yun Sheng, this was not necessarily bad news.

Because it meant that Yan Qi's team definitely didn't have enough money!

Perhaps Yan Qi had invested all the money he earned from "Blade of Empire" and it was still not enough, and he had also found several investors, but no matter what, he must still be short of money.

Since he was short of money, it would be easy to handle.

Nie Yun Sheng smiled: "President Yan's courage is really admirable! Actually, I am here not only on behalf of Sheng Yun Group, but also on behalf of several well-known domestic game channel merchants and investors. We are willing to provide financial assistance, and will not interfere too much with the creation of the game..."

Nie Yun Sheng first described his side's strong strength, and then explained the benefits and described various beautiful prospects.

In short, first tie Yan Qi's team to the chariot, and then slowly talk about dealing with Tengda.

Spreading his cards on the table now would easily scare people away.

Nie Yun Sheng felt that the conditions he gave should be quite attractive, right?

For these cash-strapped game developers, in order to make the game completely, they shouldn't refuse money.

Yan Qi silently took a sip of tea, his expression a little embarrassed.

He opened his mouth several times to interrupt, but Nie Yun Sheng was so engrossed in his speech that he finally stopped talking.

It wasn't until Nie Yun Sheng finished speaking eloquently that Yan Qi said a little embarrassedly: "President Nie, I'm really sorry, but our team... is really not short of money."

To be honest, this was a bit awkward.

In fact, Yan Qi refused as soon as he received the call.

He even wanted to say that this project had already been invested by President Pei, but President Pei's only request was to keep it secret and not disclose the relationship with Tengda to the outside world, so Yan Qi held back.

As a result, Sheng Yun Group misunderstood and thought that Yan Qi was being polite, so they insisted on meeting.

Yan Qi didn't want to meet, but Nie Yun Sheng had personally come all the way to Jingzhou, so it wouldn't be right to refuse to see him.

That's why there was this awkward situation.

Nie Yun Sheng was stunned: "Not short of money?"

Are you kidding me? An investment of more than 100 million! How did a small team that has only made mobile games get so much money?

"President Yan, are there any other requirements? You can bring them up, and we can discuss them slowly."

Yan Qi said very sincerely: "I'm sorry, President Nie, we really... are not short of money."

Nie Yun Sheng blinked, his expression very dazed.

He felt that something was wrong with this script!

...

Even after walking out of the office building, Nie Yun Sheng still couldn't figure out what was going on.

No matter what he said, Yan Qi insisted that he was not short of money!

But when asked where he got the investment from, and how much he got, Yan Qi was vague and hesitant, which was very suspicious.

Nie Yun Sheng was very depressed. After trying and failing, he had to leave for the time being.

He also went to the Morning Dew Games platform, but this time it was even more outrageous, and he didn't even see the person in charge there.

He was stopped at the front desk.

Don't ask why, they just wouldn't see him!

This was quite outrageous, and Nie Yun Sheng had never suffered such a blow.

He was also the president of a listed company, and he had traveled so far, but he couldn't even get a meeting?

What the hell!

The vice president asked in a low voice: "President Nie, what do we do next?"

He never expected that he would come to Jingzhou for a face-to-face meeting, but in the end, he talked about nothing.

Nie Yun Sheng's face was gloomy, and he was obviously a little embarrassed. But after all, he was the one who made the decision, and he couldn't give up in this situation. He had to think of a solution.

"Yan Qi kept saying that he had enough money, but he refused to say which company gave the investment. This is very strange."

"It feels like an excuse."

"I think he is probably still short of money, but he may have a good impression of Tengda, or even be a fan of Tengda, so he has some prejudice against us and is unwilling to take our money."

"Judging from his attitude, the possibility of us investing is not high. But this doesn't mean that we can't use this project!"

The vice president asked: "Hmm? Does President Nie have any other ideas?"

Nie Yun Sheng sneered and said: "This company is in Jingzhou, and Yan Qi probably asked Tengda for investment, but Tengda did not invest."

"We can make a fuss about this point. First, release some news about 'Shu Li', saying that the game lacks development funds and cannot present the best effect. Then, several investment companies and game channel merchants will come forward and say that they are willing to invest in the game."

"Then, we will publicize it, saying that this company is in Jingzhou, but Tengda is indifferent to it. Tengda always says that it wants to revitalize the domestic game industry, but in the end, it only sweeps the snow in front of its own door?"

"At least this can cause a blow to Tengda's reputation in the game circle!"

The vice president asked again: "What if Tengda sees this news and invests because of face?"

Nie Yun Sheng shook his head slightly: "Yan Qi's team is in Jingzhou, and Tengda would have invested long ago if they wanted to invest. Since they haven't invested, they definitely don't have a good opinion of this game."

"Because of some public opinion pressure, invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in a game that they don't have a good opinion of? I don't think this is very likely."

"Even if Tengda really invests, we can say that this is because they are under public opinion pressure and are forced to maintain their image."

"And for Yan Qi's team, he must still be short of money. This matter will be widely publicized, and whether it is within the team or among the players, they will hope that he can accept our investment to ensure the game's completion."

"If things get out of hand and Tengda doesn't invest, then Yan Qi may be forced to reconsider accepting our investment due to internal pressure."

"In short, Tengda has already lost by not investing in the game 'Shu Li'! No matter what happens, we will not lose!"
