"Miao Miao hopes that I can give more consideration to this cooperation and increase the cost as much as possible,"
"I am also a little hesitant and don't know whether it is appropriate to take this step now."
"The first negotiation has come to an end for the time being."
In the King's Villa, Gu Sheng spread his hands and said to Lao Shen.
"Um……"
After listening to Gu Sheng's words, Shen Wanlin took a sip of tea and pondered for a moment.
A Sheng's worries are justified.
Today, although in the gaming industry, their Golden Wind is already enough to be called a success.
But don't forget, they are still just a medium-sized gaming company.
The entire company, if added together, has a size of only a few billion.
Moreover, the company is now in its growth phase, and the investment in its core gaming business will certainly increase.
It is not a safe move to "sponsor" an unprecedented event at this time.
Besides.
Miaomiao also proposed increasing the investment cost.
This makes this project, which already has uncertain returns, even more dangerous.
"...But then again, Miaomiao's suggestion does make sense."
Shen Wanlin said:
"For you guys right now, a million or eight hundred thousand investment in publicity and promotion is really just a drop in the bucket,"
"It's a lot of work, but the results are minimal,"
"If you want to be a big banner, you have to use tiger skin."
Yes.
In this matter, Shen Wanlin actually rarely agreed with the opinion of his darling daughter, and seemed to be very appreciative, with a look of relief that "my daughter finally got it".
"As for whether this project is worth doing,"
At this point, Shen Wanlin looked at Gu Sheng with a serious expression:
"Baby, in fact, in business and other matters, there are many times when you have to take a risk to succeed."
"Your project was also an extreme sport at the beginning. No one was optimistic about it, and no one paid attention to it. But you guys made it a success."
"Now, although it's a joint competition and different from a game, it's similar in nature,"
"If you find a good gimmick, like the eight peak events you have, you will have no problem finding success,"
"Besides, you will all leave sooner or later, so why not leave now? After all..."
Speaking of this.
Shen Wanlin took a sip of tea:
"It just so happens that there is someone to share the project risk with you."
A few words!
Gu Sheng suddenly understood what was said!
Shen Wanlin supports this project.
In fact, just as he said, this step must be taken sooner or later.
If a company wants to become a world-class gaming company and build a huge gaming empire, it cannot just have the "gaming" industry.
Although Konami has always been their biggest competitor in Asia and even globally.
But there is no doubt that Konami's industrial layout structure is worth learning from.
And that’s not all.
During the learning process, Gu Sheng also needs to abandon Konami's haphazard investment style, actively isolate bloated and redundant industries, and establish a comprehensive business model with "games" as the absolute core, with branches and leaves spreading out and blooming in all aspects.
Just like now.
With "Peak State" as the main trunk and sprouting branches, it is possible to cultivate the branches and leaves that extend into "extreme sports games".
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded slowly:
"If that's the case, I probably know how to increase the hype and costs..."
…
"What is the Soap Box Challenge? What is a 7,000-meter skydive?"
Three days later!
The second cooperation negotiation between Tencel Bull and Golden Wind began.
From the Tencel side, Matt and Xu Zhixing still attended the meeting.
But the people who attended the meeting from Golden Wind were Gu Sheng and Tetsuya Moritani.
Yes.
Because of the three times of praise by the official media and the strong influence of publishing the interview this time, yesterday, Shen Miaomiao was invited to attend a meeting in the province as a representative of outstanding young entrepreneurs in Binjiang City.
have no choice.
After all, Gu Sheng couldn't create a clone, so he couldn't talk and negotiate at the same time, so he stayed in Binjiang to conduct more important cooperation negotiation meetings.
And this time!
Gu Sheng brought his detailed plan for the "Golden Bulls Joint Challenge".
result.
The first project left Matt and Xu Zhixing stunned.
Soap Box Race
"this……"
Matt looked at the strange name of this challenge with a complicated expression:
"I seem to have heard of this activity,"
"This activity was popular in the eastern United States in the 1930s and 1940s to enrich children's entertainment activities,"
"The specific gameplay is to install axles, wheels and steering wheels on the soap box. In the competition, the contestants slide down from the top of the hill to complete the competition,"
"But Mr. Gu's challenge... should just be named, right? What about the specific form?"
"ah……"
After a slightly awkward groan, Gu Sheng gave an awkward yet polite smile and shrugged:
"The form is the same,"
"It is to let the contestants dress up their cars in various strange shapes, and slide down the slope within the specified size and weight limits and without power."
"Finally, the contestants will be scored based on their performance on the track, their average speed, and the novelty of their car's design,"
“The winner will receive a reward.”
After saying that.
Suddenly, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Matt opened his mouth in surprise, Xu Zhixing frowned in confusion, and even Moritani on the side gave him a confused look.
……ah?
no!
Not wait!
Xu Zhixing opened his mouth and closed it again, raised his hands and put them down again, and he could not speak.
We have been talking about extreme sports, right?!
Is this thing the limit?
oh.
limit.
Extreme sand sculpture!
A children's entertainment activity that originated from the 1930s!
But now it is to be set up as our extreme sports challenge project?
This is so fucking unbelievable!
Ridiculous! This is absolutely fucking ridiculous!
"We... um..."
Xu Zhixing had a strange look on his face, as if he was constipated. It seemed that he wanted to curse in public, but felt it would be rude.
After a long while, he managed to utter:
"...What is the danger of this...?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that,"
Gu Sheng slapped his forehead and said seriously:
"No brake."
Xu Zhixing: …
What the fuck???
Is Peak Kingdom really created by your company?
Big brother!
You are my big brother!
Could you please wake up!
Didn't you design the Peak Eight Items? !
Look at what those projects are!
Skydiving in the Himalayas! Avalanche rappelling in the Alps! Rock climbing at Angel Falls!
And now, we get to do extreme sports in real life!
You tell me that the most dangerous part of our extreme sports is——
A bicycle without brakes?!
This fucking...
Xu Zhixing didn't know what to complain about anymore.
My grandma pushing a wheelchair through a red light is more extreme than you!!!
Xu Zhixing didn’t know what to say!
The most annoying thing is that Moriya Tetsuya, his old friend, actually raised his eyebrows and nodded with interest after carefully thinking about Mr. Gu's proposal:
"Wow, that sounds interesting."
Ahhhhh!
Are you a sand sculpture company?
Oh no! It's Sand Sculpture Unlimited Company!
Xu Zhixing felt like he was going to pass out.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng also knew that this activity seemed a little difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Looking around the conference room, only his close friend Moritani-san could understand.
It took a long time to slow down!
Xu Zhixing forced himself to suppress his ridiculous anger and rubbed his temples.
"Or... is your company really no longer considering the ridge rappelling project?"
"Oh, Mr. Xu said this. I'll consider it. Of course I'll consider it." Gu Sheng nodded.
Hearing this!
Xu Zhixing's eyes lit up!
Good, good, good!
Just consider it!
It's much better than your sand sculpture project, at least it looks like a human being.
"So what does your boss mean...?"
Xu Zhixing asked tentatively.
"Open the mountain,"
Gu Sheng smiled:
"The Devil's Track is too difficult, and the Normal Track is too routine,"
"Our CEO Shen wants to open up a new mountain track with an investment of about $30 million and a quarter of time,"
“Use this as a track for the challenge.”
Xu Zhixing: …
I don't want to fucking talk about it.
real.
Tired.
Destroy it.
What kind of people are these...
The vice president is a jerk! The president is a loser!
Even the usually wise Mr. Moritani became bizarrely stupid after joining the company, and actually agreed to such an outrageous project as the soap box racing!
This company is toxic.
Xu Zhixing’s head was buzzing.
He wanted to leave right away, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Matt beside him asked curiously, "What about this 7,000-meter extreme altitude skydiving? Where is the limit?"
Xu Zhixing rolled his eyes so much that they were about to reach the sky.
Old Ma, are you sick? Why are you flirting with him?
What else can you expect from a 7,000-meter skydive? Just as the name suggests! Jump from a height of 7,000 meters and open the parachute to land!
What else?
What else can you do without an umbrella?
"Its limit is that it doesn't have a parachute."
The next second, Gu Sheng's voice sounded:
"It's like fish-flavored pork shreds without fish, or wife cakes without wife."
"This skydiving... doesn't have an umbrella either."
After saying.
Xu Zhixing paused for three seconds.
Then he stood up suddenly, walked backwards out of the meeting room, and looked at the sign outside the meeting room -
【Golden Wind Meeting Room No. 1】
He turned around and looked at the automatic door at the entrance with the huge "Golden Wind Game Company" logo printed on it.
“That’s right…”
Xu Zhixing felt like he was fucked.
I didn't go the wrong way, did I?
This is the Golden Wind, not a mental hospital, right?
Or am I crazy???
He looked at the people with surprised expressions, and then looked at the sign above his head.
Xu Zhixing raised his hand, apologized, and walked back to the meeting room:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I really didn't understand you just now. You just said skydiving at an altitude of 7,000 meters... What's that?"
"hehe,"
Gu Sheng smiled:
"That's right."
"A few days ago, our core player of Peak Nation, Octane, the only title winner, sent us a private message,"
"It was said that one of his extreme sports fans found him and hoped to contact us to sponsor an unprecedented extreme sports challenge—"
"Skydiving without a parachute at an altitude of 7,620 meters."
Oh.
Xu Zhixing almost laughed out loud.
What kind of hell joke is this?
Is it so refreshing to talk about suicide?
As if he had noticed Xu Zhixing's absurdity and unreasonableness, Gu Sheng smiled and waved his hand to explain:
"Of course, he didn't seek death just for the sake of dying,"
"According to the setting, where he falls, there will be a 50mx50m high-strength fiber safety net to catch him and help him complete the challenge."
Yes.
This 25-year-old guy named "Ike Garcia" was inspired by the [Awakening of the Earth - Crossing the Swallow Cave] in the Peak Eight Events, and wanted to take on an unprecedented extreme challenge in the real world.
Take a plane and jump from an altitude of up to 7,620 meters. Protected by three professional parachutists and recorded by a high-altitude photographer, you will complete a precise parachute-free fixed-point skydiving feat and land perfectly on a 50x50 safety net bag .
At this point, Gu Sheng shrugged:
"But unfortunately, this sport seems to be too dangerous, and no sponsor is willing to sponsor him."
So we have to be the wronged ones, right?
Xu Zhixing's face has turned green!
It was as if after experiencing the scorching heat, it suddenly jumped under the ice layer covered with floating ice!
Has your Golden Wind's corporate style always been so extreme?
One event, two projects.
The biggest danger of the previous project, children's entertainment, is that the car has no brakes, which can be called a fighter among stupid patients.
The latter event was a life-or-death experience, with the only guarantee of safety being a narrow net bag. He could be called the MVP among the suicidal players.
yes!
I admit that the voice I complained in my heart just now was a little loud!
But there is no need for you to come up with such a hellish project as "skydiving without a parachute"!
now.
Xu Zhixing finally understood why the event planned by Golden Wind was called Extreme.
It’s not the athlete who reaches the limit.
It’s the sponsor’s blood pressure.
silence.
Silence is the golden wind today.
After listening to Gu Sheng's introduction, Xu Zhixing felt like his brain was about to shut down, and he looked at Matt with confusion.
He didn't notice at all that Tetsuya Moritani sitting opposite him was giving Gu Sheng a thumbs-up under the table!
Yo! What a great guy Gu Sang!
Tetsuya Moritani nodded affirmatively.
This is such a cool idea!
These two activities, like ice and fire, will definitely make this event a hot topic in the pre-promotion stage!
The soap box racing is incredibly fun, and the skydiving without a parachute is downright thrilling!
and!
If successful!
Moritani couldn't even imagine how much topic this stunning real-life "peak challenge" would bring to Golden Wind!
Of course!
While expecting huge publicity gains, they will also bear huge public opinion risks.
How to choose——
It depends on the Tencel Bull...
