The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 9: Negotiation

The price made Lu Wu’s heart beat quickly. It was an irresistible offer.

Although Lu Wu was penniless, he wasn’t a myopic person. He knew that if this game becomes a hit, it would generate profits way beyond that.

Moreover, he couldn’t sell it even if he wanted to. The underworld was real. The entire game was created by the battle artifact bound to Lu Wu’s body. No one else could use it.

“Honestly speaking, our team has no intention to sell this game. If you’ve played it, I am sure you are very clear on how advanced it is. If we only compare its realism, it basically trashes all other VR games in the market. So, in our opinion, our game is worth way more than that.”

Lu Wu had clearly presented his stance.

“Actually, we can still discuss the price further…” Wu Guoyi could not help sighing.

“How about, no!” Bei Li, with a mouth stuffed full of food looked up, too, and said while chewing.

He thought that the developer of this game should be a young man who is easy to tempt with money. But he didn’t expect Lu Wu to be this firm. This triggered Wu Guoyi to think about how he should maximize his profit on the platform next.

“Why don’t you release your game on our platform, and if you promise to become exclusive to us, I can give you this amount,” Wu Guoyi pointed a finger up.

“Then, what benefits do you want?”

If a game is released on a major platform, they would usually be charged a percentage of their revenue. Just like how the apps on the app stores are charged a percentage of each micropayment as service fees.

“Nothing else! If you release exclusively on our platform, I can give you a hundred million!”

Wu Guoyi’s condition was indeed attractive. Lu Wu understood what Wu Guoyi was after, and that was traffic on his platform.
