Chapter 514 Voting
the next day.
In the afternoon, Qiao Xing went to the company. Because she hadn't been there for a long time, the room was filled with smoke and fumes as soon as she entered, as if she had entered some kind of poison gas laboratory.
She covered her mouth with her sleeve, quickly went inside, and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
I went to the toilet again and turned on the ventilation system.
As soon as the windows and doors opened, a draft blew into the room. The three people inside, wearing headphones, were completely unaware of her arrival and were all immersed in their own worlds.
Qiao Xing went outside to the corridor for some fresh air, and waited for the air in the room to change before going back inside.
She went into the room and stood there for a long time, but the three of them still didn't notice her. It wasn't until Tao Yang got up to pour water that he looked up and saw Qiao Xing.
"Oh my god, Qiao Xing is here!" Tao Yang exclaimed, but the other two were wearing headphones and didn't hear him.
"I've been here for ages, what have you been up to? Have you taken on another new outsourcing job?"
"No, this is just wrapping things up. We've almost finished the previous stuff. Once we've finished, we can start planning our future development."
Qiao Xing nodded. "Aren't we supposed to have a meeting?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that. I'll go call those two."
Tao Yang first took off Sun Miao's headphones, then took off Shen Boyan's headphones, saying, "Stop working, stop working, Qiao Xing is here."
After he finished speaking, the two of them looked up at Qiao Xing.
It had been a while since Qiao Xing had been here, and she felt somewhat embarrassed under their gaze.
She stretched out her hand and waved, "Long time no see."
Sun Miao put down his keyboard and walked over to her. "Is your grandfather feeling better? When are you coming back to join us?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Shen Boyan, wondering if he had guessed anything.
However, Shen Boyan was coding and ignored her.
Qiao Xing joked, "Do you want me to come back and cook?"
Sun Miao chuckled, "You've figured that out. After eating your cooking, I can't even eat takeout anymore."
"Then didn't you starve to death?"
"That's right, you have to eat even if it tastes bad in order not to starve to death. Do you know what kind of torture that is!"
Qiao Xing looked Sun Miao over. It seemed that they were really in the final stages. Sun Miao was no longer the half-dead person he had seen at the beginning.
Her complexion improved significantly, she smiled more, and she looked much more lively.
Before Li Ya's project was finalized, Sun Miao gave her the feeling that he might die at any moment, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "I understand, I understand. By the way, about what Tao Yang mentioned yesterday, have you come to a conclusion?"
Sun Miao shook his head. "No, Tao Yang, why don't you show the information to Qiao Xing?"
"What's so interesting? I've said everything I needed to say." Tao Yang said this, but he still went back and took out the documents and handed them to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing took the documents and looked at them. They were two documents: one was the game library he mentioned, and the other was a collection of mini-games.
Which company owns this?
"This company is based in Beijing. We are currently only in contact online. They are not a game company, but a streamer agency. Their platform has many streamers, so we can use streamers or videos to promote these games."
Qiao Xing's eyes lit up. "So they're quite capable. They have resources and channels, so their promotion should be quite good?"
"That's what we thought too. Any trash game can make money if those big streamers promote it."
Qiao Xing nodded, "Then what are you hesitating for? Let's sign a profit-sharing contract."
"A profit-sharing contract is a profit-sharing agreement. You should know what that means, right? And it's 30/70, with us getting 30%."
Qiao Xing knew that he could only share the profits with them after making money from this game.
There's a catch: if the other party wants to deduct operating costs, even if they make money, they can say how much they spent on operations and then share it with Shen Boyan and his group. It all depends on their mood, and they might not get a single penny.
Therefore, it's understandable to be concerned about potential risks.
After finishing his work, Shen Boyan stood up and said, "Let's go to the conference room and talk."
The group arrived at the meeting room, which had no windows and was filled with smoke. The ashtrays on the table were piled high with cigarette butts, and no one had emptied them.
She sighed, trying her best to ignore the mess on the table.
Suddenly, I realized that Qin Ce's decision not to let her come was the right one. It would be strange if the child didn't have problems working in such an environment for a long time.
Shen Boyan habitually took out a cigarette to light it, and Qiao Xing coughed beside him. He looked up at Qiao Xing.
Realizing something, he threw the cigarette back onto the table.
This action left Tao Yang speechless with astonishment, his gossipy gaze shifting between the two of them.
Did I miss anything during the days I was away?
Shen Boyan glanced at him. "Why are you looking at me?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised. You two aren't hiding any secrets from us, are you?" Tao Yang's eyes darted around, his gossip-loving heart burning brightly.
"What secrets are there? Stop making trouble and get down to business."
Tao Yang shrank back and said, "Oh, so what do we do? Do we have to vote on this?"
Shen Boyan said, "You all share your thoughts first, and then we'll vote."
Tao Yang still advocates for revenue sharing, saying it's a gamble to see if a single game can become a huge success.
Sun Miao also agreed with the revenue sharing, since they made the product themselves, just like their own child. Buying it out would be like giving their child away to someone else to raise.
However, Shen Boyan wanted to buy out the contract because he was short of money and he didn't trust the clients. He had been cheated countless times by these outsourced companies, so he thought it was better to be more cautious.
So all three of them looked at Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Um, let me ask, how do they sign contracts for these mini-games? Is it one game at a time, or is it a long-term contract?"
Tao Yang pointed to the document in her hand, "Isn't it written here? It's a long-term contract with no profit-sharing requirements. There are monthly targets for the buyout, and if you can't meet them, you have to pay a penalty."
Qiao Xing flipped through the documents in his hand again, and it was true. The revenue sharing was whatever they did, and they would release as many as they could make each month.
However, if you buy it outright, you have to deliver ten mini-games per month for a period of one year, with each game costing between 20,000 and 30,000 depending on its quality.
But according to her, it's only 20,000, not a penny more.
"Sign for one year, ten models per month, that's 120 models a year, that's 2.4 million a year!"
Tao Yang said, "But if a game becomes popular, it can earn more than this in a month."
Qiao Xing frowned and said, "That's true, but are you sure they'll give us that much?"
Tao Yang also fell silent.
After a while, he said, "So, do you agree with Shen Boyan that you support a buyout?"
Qiao Xing said hesitantly, "Anyway, we don't know these people well, so it's better to be safe. Besides, we're short of money right now, so let's get the money we can see first."
"As for those things we can't see, we'll be able to develop better once we have the money."
