Chapter 383

.

The negotiations between Dream Entertainment and ASUS had reached a stalemate. ASUS and MSI wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they were unwilling to pay a higher price.

Shi Lei was not willing to suffer any losses.

Xu Wenyang coughed and said apologetically, "Mr. Shi, please wait for a moment. Mr. Lin and I need to discuss this."

Shi Lei nodded his head nonchalantly. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window facing the lake. He gazed at the sparkling Lake Cui, his thoughts drifting to the distant capital.

"Little Ink, are you really in Jing City? If you are, why can't I find anything about you? " Shi Lei thought to himself. If Lingyumo was really in Jing City, why couldn't he find any traces of Lingyumo?

Lingyu was the director of the Western Cybersecurity Bureau. He could erase Lingyumo's information from the Internet. However, it was impossible for him to stop Shi Lei from finding Lingyumo.

Xu Wenyang and Lin Xiantong were discussing how to increase the price of the beta tester code for World of Heroes.

"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Xu Wenyang asked Lin Xiantong. He knew what Lin Xiantong was capable of. Lin Xiantong was able to become the CEO of Microstar.

Lin Xiantong frowned and said softly, "Brother Xu, please wait for a moment. I am calculating!" Lin Xiantong was very good at calculating. He was calculating how much MSI would earn in 60 days if the global sales were to increase by 05%.

"Fifteen days is a little short. Looks like Shi Lei is not familiar with the global market. Even if the sales volume exceeds 05% in 60 days, and the rest of the time, if the sales volume increases by more than 75%, then the price of each invitation code can be … "

After secretly calculating in his heart, Lin Xiantong raised his head and looked at Xu Wenyang. He raised two fingers, indicating that he was willing to make a loan of 7555 yuan.

Xu Wenyang coughed as he spoke to Shi Lei's back. "Mr. Shi, ASUS and Microstar have already discussed this matter!"

Shi Lei turned his head and looked at Xu Wenyang. "Mr. Xu, what's the result of your discussion?"

"We're willing to pay 7,555 yuan for every invitation to the World of Heroes beta test!" Xu Wenyang said solemnly.

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows. Two thousand per invitation code? That's barely the same as AMD?

Xu Wenyang looked at the silent Shi Lei and became slightly anxious. Could it be that the high price of 7555 yuan was still not enough for Shi Lei?

"This price is acceptable!" Shi Lei sighed. He knew that this price was probably ASUS and MSI's bottom line. It would be extremely difficult for them to raise the price.

Xu Wenyang and Lin Xiantong's eyes were filled with joy.

However, just as they were rejoicing, Shi Lei said, "Although I accept your price, it's still too low. I also have my own requirements."

Xu Wenyang and Lin Xiantong looked at each other. Then, Xu Wenyang asked, "Mister Shi, do you have any requests?"

"First, Dream Entertainment will not guarantee the sales of ASUS and MSI's products. Second, we will only sell 95,555 invitation codes for the World of Heroes beta test. That is to say, ASUS and MSI can only get 75555 invitation codes each. Third, all the invitation codes will be valid until April 85th. That is, until April 85th, regardless of whether you send out all your invitation codes, our cooperation will automatically be terminated. Dream Entertainment's lottery system will be offline. "Shi Lei listed out his requirements one by one.

Xu Wenyang frowned and was about to refute when Lin Xiantong beat him to it. "No problem, Mister Shi, we agree!"

Xu Wenyang looked at Lin Xiantong in surprise. His eyes were filled with questions.

Lin Xiantong looked at Shi Lei calmly and waved his hand at Xu Wenyang, indicating that he should keep quiet.

Shi Lei looked at Lin Xiantong, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart. This Lin Xiantong was indeed an expert who started from the bottom and worked his way up to the position of CEO step by step. He was more than a little better than Xu Wenyang!

"Hahaha, Mister Lin, Mister Xu, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Shi Lei smiled and nodded. This cooperation was equivalent to a sale. Dream Entertainment would sell the invitation codes for the World of Heroes beta test to ASUS and MSI at a price of 7555 RMB each. They would not be responsible for any after-sales service.

Lin Xiantong nodded. "Mister Shi, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Lin Xiantong looked at his watch and said, "Mister Shi, since it's still early, why don't we sign the contract first? The contract is simple anyway. The earlier we get it done, the better we can celebrate in the afternoon! "

"No problem!" Shi Lei agreed. "Let's go. We'll go to Dream Entertainment and sign the contract first!"

Lin Xiantong and Xu Wenyang sat in Shi Lei's Audi A9L and went to Cui Hu Building. They secretly signed the contract in the meeting room of Immortal Painting Company.

As a game development company, Dream Entertainment did not have its own meeting room. Since they were a subsidiary company, they usually used Immortal Painting Company's meeting room.

After signing the contract, Lin Xiantong and Xu Wenyang notified their companies and asked ASUS and MSI's finance department to make the payment to Dream Entertainment's account.

95555 invitation codes for the World of Heroes beta test. Each invitation code was worth 7555 RMB. Just this transaction alone made them 35 million RMB in profit!

Shi Lei did not withdraw the 35 million RMB immediately. Instead, he left it in Dream Entertainment's account and prepared for the next step of the plan.

The World of Heroes beta test was scheduled to start on April 85th. Although they had already obtained AMD's supercomputer as the main server, they still needed to set up servers in the main cities of Xia Xia.

AMD's supercomputer was indeed very advanced. However, it was not enough. They still needed a large amount of broadband access. Dream Entertainment was located in Shuangqing City, and AMD's supercomputer was also located in Shuangqing City. Therefore, the local players in Shuangqing City would have a very low network delay when connecting to the server.

However, players from other regions would need to connect to the main server in Shuangqing City. This would cause quite a bit of network delay, especially during peak hours. This would definitely affect the normal progress of the game.

To overcome this problem, other than increasing the bandwidth of the main server, they also needed to set up corresponding regional servers to supplement the main server.

The intercity network between cities was responsible for the connection between the regional servers and the main server. The speed was much faster than normal players.

Therefore, to ensure that the World of Heroes could be accessed smoothly throughout Xia Xia, Dream Entertainment had to set up a large number of regional servers in Xia Xia.

For example, in Xichuan Province, they needed to set up at least three to five regional servers with Rongcheng City as the center. After all, Xichuan Province was much larger than Shuangqing City. The situation in other provinces was not much different. They all needed the support of regional servers.

The cost of setting up these servers was definitely not cheap. Whether 35 million RMB was enough was still a problem. Shi Lei originally planned to invest 655 million Xia Xia dollars in World of Heroes. A large portion of it was prepared for the regional servers.

Shi Lei planned to discuss the issue of setting up regional servers with AMD. Dream Entertainment and AMD were in the honeymoon phase of cooperation. They could obtain the required servers from AMD at the lowest price.

At noon, Shi Lei, Xu Wenyang, and Lin Xiantong ate and drank at the Star Picking Pavilion in the Green Lake Hotel. After that, Xu Wenyang and Lin Xiantong left in a hurry. It seemed like they were preparing to launch the sales of their products as soon as possible with the invitation code for World of Heroes.

Shi Lei shook his dizzy head. Under Xu Wenyang and Lin Xiantong's persuasion and persuasion, Shi Lei reluctantly drank half a glass of beer.

For Shi Lei, half a glass of beer was a lot!

Shi Lei asked Xu Jiayi to send him some strong tea to sober up. After drinking two large glasses, he drove back to Jingya Court. Shi Lei still remembered that he had to return to Jingya Court to continue writing the source code for the God of War System.

However, when he reluctantly drove back to Jingya Court, he unlocked the behavioral dynamic recognition engine of Server Number One in his room. Then, he collapsed on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It had to be said that it was a miracle that Shi Lei was able to safely drive back to Jingya Court!

Server Number One used the latest behavioral dynamic recognition engine as a defensive measure against external reality. Although Shi Lei had unlocked the behavioral dynamic recognition engine, if the person sitting in front of Server Number One was not Shi Lei, they would still not be able to operate Server Number One. Instead, Server Number One would be automatically locked.

That was because when operating Server Number One, if the dynamic characteristics of pressing the keyboard or moving the mouse did not match the dynamic characteristics preset by Shi Lei, then Server Number One would automatically lock. Then, a fake operating system would be simulated for the operator to use and record all kinds of operation data to determine the operator's ultimate goal.

With such a security measure, even if Shi Lei was unconscious, there was no risk of Server Number One being operated by someone else.

However, Server Number One was actually being operated!

On the screen of Server Number One, streams of data kept flashing. However, Server Number One's endless defense did not send out any alarms at all.

In the room, a cold and soft voice sounded.

"Discovered carrier …"

"Testing is in progress …"
