Chapter 18: This Matter Is No Use Talking to Us; You Have to Talk to Fish Brother!

After Lin Su agreed to help, things went much more smoothly.

Although she was only a freshman who had enrolled less than a year ago, she had joined the student council early on and become the deputy head of a certain club.

Such a status might not be of much use outside the school.

However, within the small environment of the school, it was very effective; at the very least, her relationship with teachers was much closer than that of ordinary students.

Moreover, the recording studio at Yun City Drama Academy was occasionally opened to students for free, allowing voice acting majors to gain experience.

So.

After some communication from Lin Su, the matter of the recording studio was resolved smoothly without any major turmoil.

After entering the recording studio smoothly, Qin Qin Xiaoyu did not dare to delay too long and, leading a group of voice actors, officially began work.

His time was limited.

On one hand, he had to finish recording the required voiceovers before the game's release and then replace everything back in the game.

On the other hand, the school had only given them one day.

Fortunately, the content of the first version was relatively not too much; this time was barely enough for Qin Qin Xiaoyu.

As for the content of the subsequent versions.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu was not in a hurry, after all, once the game officially launched and generated some revenue, it would still be time to rent a recording studio.

What?

What if, after the game launched, it didn't earn money as expected?

Qin Qin Xiaoyu had certainly thought of this situation, but he felt it shouldn't be so melodramatic as for such a thing to happen.

The game hasn't launched yet, but it has already surged to the top of the trending searches; players' anticipation is basically maxed out.

Who could refuse an Anemo Archon who spends all day saying "Ehe" and slacking off?

Moreover.

The success of the game "Genshin Impact" had already been proven once on Earth in his previous life.

The gaming environment of this Parallel World was slightly different, but judging from the current reactions from all sides, it wasn't deviating particularly ridiculously.

Just as Qin Qin Xiaoyu was busy with the recording.

On the other side.

At the entrance of the studio located in Lanshan Apartments, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking refined suddenly appeared.

That's right!

This person was Gao He, the head of Hongshan Investment, who had already visited once in the middle of the night yesterday.

At this moment, he was standing at the door, observing the situation inside with interest.

The office space was very humble, and the area was not very large. None of this was beyond his expectations; it was much the same as he had imagined on the way here.

Knock!

Knock knock...

After observing for a while, Gao He gently knocked on the door and asked, "Sorry, may I disturb you?"

His tone was quite polite, and a gentle smile was on his face.

Cai Qiu and Chen Wei, who were busy perfecting the official website, heard the knocking, stopped their work simultaneously, and looked towards the door.

Since they established this studio, except for the property management coming to collect electricity bills and the landlord coming to collect rent, there were basically very few visitors on ordinary days.

And this middle-aged man in front of them, they had never seen before.

So both of them were now looking at Gao He standing at the door with puzzled expressions.

"Um... are you looking for someone?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Cai Qiu hesitantly asked.

"I am Gao He. May I ask, is this the MHY Studio?"

While speaking, Gao He had already walked into the room and took out two business cards, handing one each to Cai Qiu and Chen Wei.

"Yes!"

Chen Wei nodded, took the business card with a puzzled look, and then began to examine it carefully.

Meanwhile, Cai Qiu, standing nearby, now felt somewhat uneasy.

The studio they originally established was not called MHY; it was a name Qin Qin Xiaoyu had just changed recently.

Although neither he nor Chen Wei knew why Fish Brother suddenly wanted to change to such a strange name, they did not oppose Qin Qin Xiaoyu's decision.

But this name had only been used for a few days; except for submitting the studio information once when applying for the game license, almost no outsiders knew about it.

Could this person be an official auditor, and was there some problem with the game license?

But that didn't seem right!

The reply had clearly passed the audit; even if there were problems, the most they would do is notify by phone to make corrections; there was no need to come in person.

"You should have three members, right? Is it convenient to ask where the other companion is?"

After waiting for a moment and still not seeing the other main creator shown in the materials, Gao He casually asked.

When discussing cooperation, it was definitely necessary to wait until the other party was all present.

Otherwise, if he convinced these two, and the other one returned later and suddenly changed their mind to increase the demands, that would be a troublesome matter.

"You mean Fish Brother, right? He has something to handle and probably won't come to the studio today."

Chen Wei answered simply and continued, "By the way, Mr. Gao, you haven't said your purpose yet!"

Chen Wei had already read the content on the business card once.

Although they were all tech geeks, they had at least heard of the famous Hongshan Investment and the name Gao He.

A faint guess had formed in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he opened his mouth to test the waters.

"The game 'Genshin Impact' was developed by your team, right?"

His little tricks were obvious to a seasoned operator like Gao He, but he didn't beat around the bush; he smiled and continued:

"I studied overseas for a while and was exposed to two-dimensional culture for a time. I happened to see this game you made, and it really suits my taste, so I wanted to come over and talk with you."

Gao He's words were very straightforward, yet they were not devoid of the art of verbal negotiation.

First, his interest in their game was entirely out of personal hobby; as for future commercial value, he mentioned not a single word.

Second, he merely came to talk, without proposing that they must cooperate or take shares; the purpose was naturally to create a tense atmosphere.

Many young startup teams, upon hearing that Hongshan Investment had taken notice of them, and with no direct statement of intent to invest,

would first feel inexplicably nervous themselves.

In order to secure investment, the conditions they proposed generally would not be particularly excessive.

This was one of the important reasons why Gao He could usually acquire promising projects at extremely low prices.

However.

What left Gao He stunned was that his method, which had worked flawlessly for him all along, simply did not work today.

After hearing his words, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei exchanged a glance; although there was initially an expression of excitement and thrill on their faces,

they soon answered in unison: "President Gao, this matter is useless to discuss with us; you must go talk to Brother Yu. He probably won't come to the studio today. How about... you come back tomorrow..."
