Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 15 - Fishing

Hearing Shen Siyuan affirming that they could undertake this project, Ding Youguang was even more excited.

"But there's something I don't understand?" said Shen Siyuan.

"Go ahead."

"Why did you come to me? It doesn't seem like I can help you much, does it?"

"That's not true, Brother Shen, you don't realize your own value."

Upon hearing this, Ding Youguang immediately chuckled with a sly look.

"Oh, what value do I have?"

Shen Siyuan didn't even realize his own value.

"Firstly, you must know, I have no money."

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"Hmm, and then?"

"And this project, at the very least, needs a planner, a programmer and an artist..."

As he said this, Shen Siyuan began to understand why Ding Youguang had come to him—he was eyeing the free labor of Shen Siyuan's team.

"I can't afford to spend money trial-and-erroring, so I can only look for free options."

"Fuck, I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch," said Shen Siyuan.

"What are you talking about like that? Just tell me if we can do this or not?"

Shen Siyuan had no rebuttal.

"You go talk to the programmer and the artist. If the game really takes off, we'll split the profits equally. If it fails, it's just a waste of some spare time. Anyway, we usually just play games or binge-watch shows, time isn't that valuable..."

"This field is still an undeveloped blue ocean. We still have a chance if we get in now..."

"How much for the channel's share, and what kind of game are you thinking of trying out?"

"A thirty-seventy split. As for what game, it's up to you to decide. You definitely have more ideas in this area than me," said Ding Youguang sincerely.

Ding Youguang had just shown him the monthly turnover, which was data from the channel and hadn't deducted the share.

If the four of them were to be involved in this project, then each person could earn a minimum of forty to fifty thousand a month, or even as much as a hundred thousand at most. This was far more than a monthly salary, and it'd be easy money.

"Do we have a company, do we need to sign a contract?" said Shen Siyuan.

Since it involved money, it couldn't just be a verbal agreement.

"I have a company. I registered it before and never canceled it. Don't worry, we'll definitely sign a contract. What belongs to you won't be lessened by a cent," Ding Youguang immediately assured, patting his chest.

"Alright, I'll find a chance to talk to Zhou Zhengdao and Li Qunfang."

These two were the programmer and artist of Shen Siyuan's team, respectively.

"Will Li Qunfang be willing?" Ding Youguang said with some concern.

As the programmer, Zhou Zhengdao often went drinking and dining with Shen Siyuan, so their relationship was naturally good. Moreover, his technical skills were quite strong. He had participated in the development of various game projects in the online gaming department, and his expertise ranked at the top throughout Guanghui Animation.

But Ding Youguang wasn't familiar with the other party, which was one of the reasons he had approached Shen Siyuan.

As for Li Qunfang, she was a quiet young lady who didn't talk much and rarely interacted with others apart from her immediate desk neighbors. She loved the two-dimensional world, enjoyed cosplay, and seemed to be in a completely different dimension from Shen Siyuan and his team.

"No big issue," said Shen Siyuan very calmly.

"Then what do you think should be our first game project?" Ding Youguang asked.

Clearly, his words carried a hint of testing. Everyone had their own value. Zhou Zhengdao and Li Qunfang's values were clear. Without either of them, the project couldn't go on. So where did Shen Siyuan's value lie?

"Fishing, we can set up another points ranking and organize a lottery." Shen Siyuan said calmly.

"How's that?"

"What's the most played game by gamers in video arcades?" Si Yuan countered.

"Fishing?"

Si Yuan nodded, "Not everyone plays fishing, but it's definitely one of the most played games."

"Besides, fishing is simple to operate, just up, down, left, and right plus a confirmation button, and these controls can indeed be played with a remote control."

"In arcades, everyone plays fishing for points, for Game Coins, which ultimately can be exchanged for physical rewards. So we can't just let users play to pass the time; we need to bait them with something, like the top ten in the points ranking getting cash prizes every month, or the first place getting an iPhone..."

"Isn't this just gambling?"

"Right, but we are legal. What do you think our Operations Department is for? What activities do we run during holidays? Lotteries, playing the odds, this is what ensures our revenue..."

"Fishing is just a casual game; it doesn't seem to have many profit points, right? If we do this, won't we lose money?" Ding Youguang's mind was still very sharp.

"We can sell VIP memberships. For VIP1 users, they get double the points for fishing, and so on and so forth. The higher the VIP, the greater the points multiplier. Then, the player with the highest points each month can win a prize of 10,000 yuan. Don't you think people would top up their accounts to compete on the leaderboard?"

"Moreover, we can control the leaderboard ourselves, this is too easy for the programmers; we are both players and referees, it's all up to us..."

"Hehe~, Brother Shen, you're so sly, aren't you?"

"Psh, nonsense, these are all marketing techniques."

"Let's eat... let's eat..."

Ding Youguang's face was glowing red, feeling he had found the right person.

His reason for partnering with Shen Siyuan was initially for his connections.

Besides that, he took advantage of his planning skills, because in the end operations and planning aren't that different. Both are proficient in game content design, and since their project isn't big and the demands aren't too high, Si Yuan could definitely manage it.

But in just a short time, not only did Si Yuan come up with concrete plans, but he had already considered the profit points in advance, which made him even more confident about the project.

After eating, Si Yuan went to buy some cold noodles and a cola, then the two of them headed back to the company.

As they parted ways in the company, Ding Youguang whispered to Si Yuan, "As soon as possible."

The company, in principle, doesn't interfere with employees starting their own businesses, but using the company's resources for personal gain was definitely not allowed.

Hence, secrecy was needed until the venture was successful, which was also why Ding Youguang didn't want to talk about it in the corporate WeChat.

Upon entering the operations department, most of the people were already asleep at their desks, with only one or two still playing games.

Li Wenjuan was also asleep on her desk, and Si Yuan tiptoed over to place the cold noodles on her desk.

However, he saw a portion of freshly cut fruit and a cup of coffee on her desk.

Clearly, these were not something she had gone downstairs to buy herself, someone had brought them for her.

Li Wenjuan had many admirers; several sycophants in the company were nearly hooked by her.

That was also one of the reasons why Si Yuan was not interested in her. If you don't like someone, say it clearly, what's the point of always leading people on?

But Si Yuan simply regarded her as an ordinary colleague, without going deeper into any relationship.

And as for those admirers, didn't they truly understand in their hearts? But they all pretended to be confused, thinking they would be the final winner.

Si Yuan's movements were very cautious, but still, it woke up Lin Manzhi who was sleeping next to him.

Seeing it was Si Yuan, her eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up her phone and pointed to it.

Si Yuan was puzzled, but when he opened his own phone, he saw that she had pushed her bestie's WeChat over to him.
