Wan Chuer’s thoughts had changed, but she didn’t know what she could gain by putting her product out there. As the saying goes, "Shop around before you buy," so she should try out a few game companies.
An Zihao suppressed his excitement, his eyes nervously fixed on Wan Chuer. This game had even more profit potential than the hot pot venture they had just discussed.
If it was well-executed, making a fortune wouldn’t be a problem.
He also knew that several older brothers in the compound started a game company, and according to what he heard through the grapevine, those brothers were doing very well for themselves.
Being able to play games, earn money, and start a company all at once was the ideal situation.
He had no chance to take a slice of the pie—or even get a finger in it—at the game company his brothers started, but now this incredible opportunity had fallen into his lap. If he couldn’t seize it, he would be a monumental fool!
Wan Chuer had a cool expression on her face, clearly deep in thought.
Her contemplation made An Zihao nervous, but he reassured himself. As a country bumpkin with strong coding skills, she might be fine with just burying herself in work, lacking an understanding of business matters. She was surely contemplating how much to ask for.
After a long wait, Wan Chuer finally spoke.
With a faint smile, she said, "I want to see what other game companies might offer for my game before I make a decision."
Oh no, if she really went to other game companies, he definitely wouldn’t even get to taste the soup!
An Zihao became anxious, but it didn’t show on his face. He flashed a nonchalant smile and said:
"I get that you want to shop around, how about this—tell me what you’re expecting, and I can double it, what do you say?"
Mai Qiqi and Jiang Xiaoxiao gasped in surprise—such generosity!
Wan Chuer asked, "What do you plan to do after buying my game? Start your own game company, then rally the troops and begin operations? Starting from scratch is not easy.
Or do you plan to take it to an existing game company, use my game to get shares, leverage their complete team, participate in the operations, and then get a cut of the profits?"
An Zihao’s smile faded, his expression turning grave. It seemed Wan Chuer wasn’t just a naive country girl with only programming skills; he needed to treat this more seriously, or he might indeed lose any chance at this game.
Now being in a favorable position, he absolutely could not let this slip through his fingers!
Since Wan Chuer was not easy to deceive, he had to show sincerity to win this opportunity.
"To be honest, I’m quite optimistic about your game. If you take it to game companies, any person with a sound mind would not miss it—they would surely offer you a high price.
If you are really considering shopping around, you’re being too naive. Business is like a battlefield—if they can’t secure your game, they certainly won’t give the chance to their competitors. What might happen, you can’t predict."
An Zihao’s words caused Wan Chuer’s expression to darken. She was indeed too naive. After all, when it comes to interests, anything could happen. This was a wake-up call. No matter what, she should go and register the software patent first—it would serve as a protection.
Seeing Wan Chuer deep in thought, An Zihao took it as a sign of being swayed by his words and immediately continued, "You’re on good terms with Qiqi. For Qiqi’s sake, I wouldn’t trick you. Why don’t you sell to me? You’ll get a good price, and all the cumbersome details will be handled by me."
