Chapter 16: Chapter Sixteen: The Less Experience You Have, the Lower the Price You

The female secretary Qinya left the office, gently closing the door behind her.

After she was gone.

Gao He took a pair of gold-framed glasses from his desk drawer, put them on, then reached for the file resting on the table.

The file contained little content.

Gao He finished reading it all in no time.

At this moment.

He finally understood why this background check was only barely ten pages long.

To be honest.

The content in the file differed greatly from what he had previously assumed.

Before seeing this file, Gao He had thought that the core team behind a game of such quality, even if not from a major game studio,

Should at least be a professional studio of about a hundred people.

Who could have imagined that the core team behind this game consisted of only three people?

And

All three were fresh graduates, complete novices…

After staring at the file for a moment, a knowing smile suddenly appeared on Gao He’s face.

This situation,

Though somewhat surprising, made perfect sense upon closer thought.

Only these young people, unworldly and full of ideals, untouched by market forces and capital, could have created such a game.

But

For him, this was not just not a bad thing—it was a tremendous advantage.

The younger the core team, the less social experience they had.

Thus, the conditions they proposed during negotiations would naturally be relatively low.

This is easy to understand.

For instance, several million RMB might mean nothing to a mature team of hundreds.

But for a tiny team of only three, it would be a substantial sum.

Therefore, with very little cost,

He might obtain exactly what he wanted.

Thinking of this,

Gao He set down the file, picked up the phone again—this time not calling Secretary Qinya, but notifying his driver, Old Chen.

Five minutes later, in the underground garage.

“Boss Gao, it’s so late—are you going to meet someone important?”

As Gao He approached, Old Chen opened the rear door and asked casually.

“To Lanshan Apartments.”

Gao He was easygoing; he simply told Old Chen the destination after getting in.

Lanshan Apartments?

Old Chen paused slightly upon hearing the address.

He knew the place somewhat.

It was a low-end apartment complex; most residents there had modest incomes.

“Boss Gao, it’s so late—your contact might already be asleep!”

After hesitating a few seconds, Old Chen glanced at Gao He through the rearview mirror and ventured:

“That place is said to be unsafe. Why not let me go pick them up for you?”

Hearing the suggestion, Gao He laughed and waved his hand: “Old Chen, just drive me there—I want to talk to them face to face.

As for sleeping, they won’t be asleep yet.

A group of young people with dreams never go to bed this early…”

On this point, Gao He was certain.
