This game is awesome

We agreed to be idiots together. Why did you secretly increase your intelligence, boss?

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while and gradually got down to business.

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Qingshi."

Gu Qingshi blinked and sat obediently in front of the old professor.

A smart hunter should be good at utilizing all his advantages.

"I'm older, so I'm taking advantage of you, Xiao Qingshi." The old professor laughed, "I also played Victoria, it's very interesting and entertaining."

"But..."

Gu Qingshi's face froze and she looked at the old professor pitifully.

The old professor was about to say something unpleasant, but when he saw Gu Qingshi blinking at him, he swallowed his words and condensed them into a short sentence.

“It’s just a little lack of professionalism…”

Gu Qingshi smiled and said, "Professor Grandpa is a professional in this field, but ours is just a game."

Of course the old professor knew that what he said was not quite right, but Dean Wang was watching him. He had issued a military order to implement an innovative teaching model, and Old Wang was watching him and drinking tea.

The old professor picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea, but when the teapot was lifted mid-air, not a drop fell.

Dean Wang was stunned, put down the teacup, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Xiao Meng, come and help the old professor make some tea."

Li Xiaomeng hurried over to make tea.

The tea was ready, and she looked at the steam rising from the teapot in a trance. No, why did she feel like she was the only outsider in this room?

.......

.......

Gu Qingshi listened to the old professor talk about "innovative teaching model".

"I see. You want to make a professional version of Victoria for students to learn some economics, right?"

Gu Qingshi understood why the old professor specifically wanted to see her.

If she wants to develop a professional version of the game, she must get the consent of her studio boss.

Professor Zheng also thought about sending it directly via email and both parties signing a contract, but after thinking it over, he decided that this was not a good idea.

Because: the college has no money.

The old professor repeatedly asked his friends who worked in the Internet industry and roughly confirmed the development cost of a game of the level of "Victoria".

The starting amount is three to four million, and the maximum is twenty to thirty million.

This is too expensive for their college. Even if they cut it in half, the price is still not suitable.

And even if they have the money to buy it, they may not be willing to do it. If you have the time, wouldn't you make more money by developing a new game? Who will make the cost of a development cycle for you?

So the old professor's purpose in inviting Gu Qingshi to the school was very simple.

1. Explain the reasons and persuade them to cooperate.

2. Appeal to their emotions and negotiate the price face to face.

He didn't say it explicitly, but the old professor had a simple idea. If it really didn't work out, he would at least meet the person and have a meal with him. He would also be considered to have gotten to know a young talent. Even if the deal didn't work out, there would still be friendship.

Gu Qingshi thought about it and did not say yes or no. Instead, she asked first: "Professor, no matter how professional Victoria is, it is also a game and it is bound to have many problems. Is this kind of game really suitable for teaching?"

Seeing that Gu Qingshi seemed to be refusing, the old professor said earnestly, "Of course it's not included in the regular course. It's mainly for students to practice and understand some theories. For example, the supply and demand of the market, these are relatively abstract, and most students find it difficult to apply this knowledge in practice before internships. But now we can see the fluctuations in market supply and demand in the game, which is a good teaching method."

"There are still many students in schools whose thinking is stuck at the level of high school. They study hard and learn by heart. They know the theory by heart, but they are at a loss when it comes to applying it. I want to see if I can use games as a channel to improve this situation."

The old professor spoke very sincerely and picked up the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Gu Qingshi.

Gu Qingshi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If we take over, how much development funding do you estimate?"

Yes, how can you impress people with such empty things as ideals and ambitions?

"I, an old man, will not fool you, Xiao Qingshi. The funding approved by the college for the innovative teaching model is only 500,000 yuan."

The old professor looked a little embarrassed.

Five hundred thousand is a bit too little to use for developing a game.

Seeing that Gu Qingshi didn't say anything, the old professor was a little disappointed.

Gu Qingshi put down the teacup.

"We, Fanxing, have accepted this job."

Chapter 28 [NGI: So much fun]

The old professor almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"But there is a prerequisite. First, you must provide several gentlemen who have made some achievements in macroeconomics or other related fields as our consultants. After all, our studio is not a professional one, and some questions still need experts like you to answer."

This proposal was very reasonable, and Gu Qingshi chose to give in to give the old professor and the college enough face.

The old professor glanced at Dean Wang.

Dean Wang nodded.

"No problem, old man, I will lead by example."

After getting the reply, Gu Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Secondly, we hope to develop in-depth cooperation with you, and we need your students to assist us. The labor contract and salary and benefits will be the same as those for regular workers." Gu Qingshi winked at Li Xiaomeng.

Li Xiaomeng hurried over, whispered a few words to Gu Qingshi, and handed the list to Dean Wang.

These people are actually the poor interns who were exploited by Li Xiaomeng.

Gu Qingshi felt that she was not a devil. She could only exploit others when they had no money. Now she should compensate them anyway, right?

Moreover, these eight people have been doing numerical development for Victoria for a month and are more or less familiar with the work. It would be more convenient to convert them into regular employees than to recruit and train new people.

Dean Wang glanced at the names of these people and immediately agreed.

If it wasn't a bit embarrassing, he would have wanted to ask Fanxing if they were still short of people!

Forget about paying money, even if they don't pay a penny, the professors in their department will just wave their hands and some of them will join in as free labor.

What they lack the least is manpower.

The two sides reached an agreement on the development of the professional version, and the atmosphere eased.

Gu Qingshi drank tea and chatted with the old professor, making the old professor smile happily.

Only Li Xiaomeng was serving tea and water, wishing she could pick up her JK boss and escape from this sea of ​​suffering.

......

......

Taking on the development of the professional version was actually a huge challenge for Gu Qingshi, even more difficult than developing "Victoria".

When developing Victoria, Gu Qingshi had a very clear idea. Because she had the game from her previous life as a reference, all she needed to do was get out what was in her mind.

But for the professional version, Gu Qingshi had no reference.

She is just a practitioner in the gaming industry. How could she get access to a real "socio-economic simulator"?

However, risks and opportunities coexist.

This is the first case of in-depth cooperation between a game developer and a university in China, and even in the world!

First case!

Gu Qingshi didn't know whether this would become a milestone in the development of the industry. However, she knew very well:

Victoria is going to be a hit!!!

Once this news gets out, and as the game has just been released and the popularity is still not fading, it will definitely add fuel to the fire of Fanxing.

Gu Qingshi hummed as she took the interview video edited by Li Xiaomeng and boarded the return flight.

As soon as the plane landed, An Zhuce called.

"Hello, Miss An?"

"Boss..." An Yan's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.

Gu Qingshi was puzzled and thought that something strange had happened to her game again.

But she is not afraid this time, after all, she has the cooperation with the University of Finance and Economics as a stabilizing force.

"Sister An, please relax. I won't eat anyone..."

After a while, An Yan calmed down and said excitedly: "Boss, our game is a hit!"

Gu Qingshi nodded with satisfaction, "Yeah, yeah. I know our game will be a huge hit soon."

Gu Qingshi hasn't reacted yet.

An Yan was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you already know?"

"Of course I know. I just reached a cooperation agreement with the University of Finance and Economics. Once the news gets out, we will become completely famous!"

An Yan was confused.

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

Gu Qingshi came to her senses and realized that An Yan had been in Le'an all the time. How could she know about the cooperation with the University of Finance and Economics?

So how did our game become so popular?

This review of Gu Qing poetry is confusing.

An Yan listened to Gu Qingshi's silence and said directly: "The rating on the evaluation website is out, 9.6 points!"

"9.6 points?"
