Chapter 21 Fifteen Minutes
The weather is a good day, perhaps because of the long drizzle of days the day before yesterday, and it took several days of intermittent rain.
The sky is clear and blue, and even the summer at the end of August has been washed away a little, with a hint of sweetness in the air.
But Liu Shanshi just couldn't be interested, and he couldn't be even happier. He took a taxi to Zhongzhou No. 7 Middle School and finally found the Beijing Flavored Noodle Restaurant that Qi Ming mentioned.
He deliberately was half an hour late. When he first appeared at twelve o'clock, he saw Qi Ming sitting there as soon as he entered the noodle shop.
I ordered a large bowl of fried noodles and sat there, consuming it with oil all over the corners of my mouth.
"I woke up late in the morning and didn't have time to eat, so I ordered a bowl first." Qi Ming smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, seeing Liu Shanshi walk in, his face was depressed and lazy, no difference between eggplant made from frost, Qi Ming looked up and glanced at it, and said politely, "We Zhongzhou is not as good as Dijing. It is not easy to find a bowl of sour noodles that is reasonable. However, I went to this noodle restaurant for three years and had eaten it for three years. I dare not say that the taste is too authentic. At least I feel that it can enter your mouth."
As they spoke, a middle-aged waitress called out and ordered Liu Shanshi a bowl of fried noodles. Then he picked up the menu and ordered several dishes in one breath.
Two cold dishes, two hot dishes, and two large bowls of fried noodles with sauce. In addition, Qiming ordered four bottles of beer.
"Actually, there is no need to be so polite. Just find a place." Liu Shanshi just picked up the cold beer and planned to take a sip of it to moisten his throat.
As a result, Qi Ming took the initiative to pick up the beer cup, reached towards Liu Shanshi's cup without saying a word, and clinked it with him first.
"Actually, I have never had a good meal together for so long." After saying that, Qi Ming dried the beer in his cup.
Liu Shanshi sneered. He didn't intend to give Qi Ming a face. He drank one-third of the glass of wine and put it aside.
"If you want to be polite, there is no need. I came here all the way, not to listen to your cheap words."
Qi Ming poured wine and filled him with it, "I'm not just trying to get close to you. This meal should have been arranged long ago. It's just that I'm doing my best to do my own thing, but we both are busy with our own things and really don't care about it."
Liu Shanshi picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth and wrapped it up, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Boss Liu should have made a lot of money recently?" Qi Ming put a mouthful of fried noodles into his mouth. The end of the noodles was swept around the corner of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were covered with the sauce.
"Haha, it's even worse than your "Counter-Strike"." Liu Shanshi snorted coldly.
"I can't do it. I'm just a student. It's good to crack games and develop game modules. I just leave just to make a vote." Qi Ming picked up the paper and wiped his mouth.
After saying that, Qi Ming took out a soft jade stream and handed it to Liu Shanshi. He didn't care whether he answered it or not, but put it in front of the other side. Then Qi Ming took out a lighter and ignited the one in his hand.
A breath of smoke was sucked out, and in a blink of an eye, the smoke was scattered all over my body.
"Have Boss Liu watched the game module of "Counter-Strike"? I would like to give my opinions?"
Liu Shanshi said angrily, "Now half of the computer rooms in Zhongzhou are equipped with your games. What else do I need to give?"
"Men, I am very rich, but I am not interested in snatching leftovers from others." Liu Shanshi became more and more angry when he thought about this. He couldn't help but slap the table, "But one code will be the same. We agreed at the beginning that you would never interfere in selling "Half-Life".
Qi Ming said indifferently: "I'm selling "Counter-Strike".
If it weren't for the waiter bringing the fried noodles to the sauce, Liu Shanshi would have almost overturned the table.
Listen to this is human words?
"Are Boss Liu interested in "Counter-Strike"?" As soon as he slapped someone, Qi Ming quickly handed over another sweet date.
Perhaps he had guessed that Qi Ming had discussed this before he came, so Liu Shanshi was very calm. He used the chopsticks to mix the fried noodles in front of him weakly, and did not respond directly to Qi Ming's words. He just muttered, "What's the point? You want the Chinese toon sprouts without Chinese toon sprouts, and you want the green bean mouth to have green bean mouth. Sprinkle a few half-dead mung bean sprouts and feel happy, so he was so embarrassed to call this fried noodles. It's far worse than the small bowl we made ourselves."
Qi Ming smiled and said, "I will have to go to university in two days. I really don't have the intention to focus on this. What's more, a student, how much appetite can I have, and I can't chew too much, and then I will break my belly."
Liu Shanshi continued to sneer: "There are also things you can't eat, don't you have a big appetite?"
Boss Liu stopped eating fried noodles without taking a few bites. After all, he was still focused on "Counter-Strike". He looked at Qi Ming and said, "How much has your crypto-encrypted "Counter-Strike" sold?"
"It's not much." Qi Ming smiled and said, "It's only more than one hundred nods."
When Liu Shanshi heard this, his heart was filled with a lot of coldness. He picked up a wine glass and poured a big mouthful of it into his stomach.
Then he burped his mouth and said, without saying anything, he thought in his mind that the market in Zhongzhou is so big, it would be nice to have a hundred computer rooms. Qiming sold more than 100 copies, which was basically equivalent to being digested by the entire Zhongzhou market.
Just when Liu Shanshi was depressed but still pretended to be calm and composed, Qi Ming said quietly, "Although Zhongzhou is so big, there is not only one Zhongzhou City in the world."
After saying a word, you can clearly see that Liu Shanshi's eyes shone a little. He raised his head and looked at Qi Ming. It happened that Qi Ming was also looking at him playfully, just opposite the dining table.
The moment when the eyes met, Liu Shanshi finally understood that the meal Qi Ming arranged today was probably not for nothing.
In fact, Liu Shanshi had already planned before coming. Whether it was the earliest six cracked games, it only made the market taste the sweetness. The real hard food was the game module of "Counter-Strike". This was truly felt from the fact that the computer rooms on the market were full and crowded.
In the shooting game, "Counter-Strike" is definitely not the originator, and there are "Return to the German Headquarters" and "Thor Hammer".
But why it has not been promoted is not because the market is immature. Having contacted by high-end players does not mean that low-end players can accept it.
As soon as Qi Ming's "Counter-Strike" appears, it is tantamount to opening up the entire online game market.
"You continue to say, I want to hear your ideas." After all, when it comes to doing business, there is no hatred, only interests.
"I will sell the game and the secret key to you, and the price can be negotiated. I said that I only planned to make a quick money from the beginning, so I didn't have the heart to run it at all. But Boss Liu, you are different. You have some skills, and the key is also resources. This game is definitely more profitable than me in your hands."
After saying that, Qi Ming lit a cigarette and gave it to Liu Shanshi one.
When thinking about problems and making decisions, shouldn’t one point be exposed?
With a click, Liu Shanshi took the lighter and ignited the soft Yuxi handed over by Qi Ming. He took a deep breath, and the pros and cons on the balance in his heart were constantly weighing the pros and cons.
Qi Ming vomited smoke and chased after him again: "Boss Liu, I'll give you fifteen minutes to consider. Do you think about what the computer room across the country will look like in the next half month?"
After four bottles of beer at noon and two bowls of not-so-authentic fried noodles were in their stomachs, Liu Shanshi finally understood the meaning of this meal. It turns out that Qi Ming had said so much before, and the two of them talked about Tai Chi for noon. Qi Ming was waiting for him here.
Qi Ming smoked silently, swallowing clouds and fog, and time was passing by little by little. Calmness and peace were by no means disguise, but from the inner determination.
On the one hand, he knew the value of "Counter-Strike" in his hand. He could even sell it to Zhaoshanshi and Wangshanshi without selling it to Liushanshi.
The second is that Liu Shanshi is already a little difficult to make a living at this time. If he gives up "Counter-Strike", he can only return to the imperial capital with the little money he earns. Although he has failed, he will definitely not be able to return with glory.
After all, after working for more than a month, he did not let himself live a night of wealth. After returning, he and Su Feifei had to live in Shijingshan. After all, the little money he earned could not allow him to squeeze into the Fourth Ring Road, so the psychological gap is so big.
Of course, Qi Ming was also eager to take action. On the one hand, he knew that cracking games should not seem to be a quick money. But in fact, it was just a quagmire. Now his ankle was at most stuck inside. But when other cracking experts in China began to enter this field, the profit would be less and less, and it would be difficult for him to get out of it.
The gangsters, wanderers and 3dm in later generations fought to the death of cracking games, and weren’t the two gangs of Chinese and cracking? After the market was saturated, most young players began to have the awareness of playing genuine games. By then, cracking and Chinese were really using love to generate electricity.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Liu Shanshi's cigarettes were not stopped, smoking one by one.
When he got the third one, he had already made a decision.
"You'll tell me a price."
"I don't want much, this number." Qi Ming said, crossing his hands in front of Liu Shanshi.
Compared to Qi Ming's price, Liu Shanshi suddenly felt that his heart was not so painful. Because this was indeed a price that both parties could accept. Qi Ming asked for 100,000 yuan, obviously he did not intend to make himself work in vain for more than a month. He not only retained the profits but also gave him face, which was considered a perfect thing.
What's more, the market value of this game is far beyond this number. As long as it is promoted to the outside world with Dijing as the center, it will definitely make more than 100,000 yuan in less than a month, and it will not be a problem to even double it.
"Reasonable, go to the bank with me and I will withdraw money for you." Liu Shanshi said.
...
A few days before I came to see Liu Shanshi, Qi Ming applied for a bank card for himself. He deposited the previous 20,000 yuan. Now Liu Shanshi happily transferred another 100,000 yuan into the card.
Unfortunately, the bank did not have an app at that time, otherwise looking at the six-digit numbers above, it would be a very fulfilling thing. No wonder it is said that people did business twenty years ago, and they were almost barbaric business, and they did make money quickly when they made a fuss.
In fact, Qi Ming was not surprised that Liu Shanshi gave money so happily, nor did he have too much psychological gap. He also wanted to ask for one or two million in one breath, but Liu Shanshi couldn't take it out at all.
Even if Qi Ming has passed a few days ago, according to the holding rates of the six games on the market, he can calculate Liu Shanshi's profit in more than a month. Liu Shanshi can accept it for 100,000 yuan. No matter how high the profit is in the future, he will probably find it difficult to accept it.
What's more, Qi Ming himself did not intend to become a fat man in one go. He really sucked up all Liu Shanshi's blood in one go. This Yin-Yang man may become more angry when he thinks about it after he returns. He may even be able to do something that is too anxious to jump over the wall.
Back to the Internet, Liu Shanshi confirmed the authenticity of the game module and secret key, and kept smoking silently. At this moment, there were probably many things he was thinking about.
Qi Ming pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Brother Liu, I'll talk more before leaving. You should know that you have to take action as soon as possible. You have obvious advantages within a month, and it's not even exaggerated to say that the time, place, people and all are occupied. It's hard to say in a month."
"I understand." Liu Shanshi nodded. His attitude towards Qi Ming at this moment was no longer like water and fire when he had lunch.
"Okay, you are a smart person, so I won't say that there are so many. We will not change the green mountains and rivers, and we will see you again if we are destined to be together." Qi Ming said as he took the initiative to extend his hand.
Liu Shanshi hesitated and looked at Qi Ming's hand raised in the air, but he chose to use it symbolically and politely.
After the Internet business came out with the wind, Qi Ming did not rush home. He took a taxi and rushed to Taoyuan Road. He came to the gate of the SECU, found a newspaper booth and called Li Zhiheng's dormitory, and called the technical house.
A few minutes later, Li Zhiheng walked out with a popsicle and smiled when he saw Qi Ming.
"Which gust of wind blows you brother?"
Qi Ming didn't say much, but took an envelope and handed it to Li Zhiheng in a mysterious way. "This is the final payment, including the previous 10,000 yuan, which we had agreed on the Internet before."
Li Zhiheng held the thick envelope and pulled it open and looked at it as red as a golden light. He felt so itchy in his heart. He wanted to take it out and count it.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Qi Ming said, taking out a new sketchbook and throwing it into Li Zhiheng's arms.
"What's the good idea this time?" Li Zhiheng opened it and took a look.
I didn't see anything at the beginning of the period, but the more I turned back, the smile on his face became stiff and solidified a little bit, and eventually turned into shock.
Qi Ming said at this time: "I know that including the deposit before, the total amount is less than 20,000 yuan. You have worked hard and killed a lot of brain cells. So this sketchbook is given to you, and it is my idea. You don't have to rush to make it. Before you go to graduate school, it is best not to appear in this sketchbook on the market."
Li Zhiheng threw away the unfinished popsicles in one breath and said, "Why don't you keep this thing yourself?"
"I have to go to Shanghai to study in college, and the focus will definitely not be on this," Qi Ming smiled and took out a cigarette. He didn't care whether Li Zhiheng was a rookie, and handed him one. "You have computer technology. Although we can't talk about similar interests and friendship, we can still talk about it. I thought about it all around you and gave it to you. As for how much money you can make, it depends on your own ability."
"I have to treat you to a big meal." Li Zhiheng said that although he was a technical mate, how could he not know that Qi Ming gave this thing to him to win over him.
It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.
Li Zhiheng has read the content of this sketchbook. Although he has not studied it carefully, he can still predict the value. He wants to invite Qi Ming to have a meal, whether it is out of gratitude or laying the foundation for future relationships.
"There is no need to eat. Today is probably the last time we meet in Zhongzhou. I will have to go to school in a few days. If I can meet again in the future, I will definitely choose the best restaurant."
