356: Chapter 356 Game Models
His original plan was to first download and play the mobile game developed by that game company to gauge their strength.
However, due to his phone suddenly breaking down, coupled with the fact that he was already out, he ultimately decided to pay a personal visit to the game company.
This game company looked even more run-down than he had imagined.
It was less like a company and more like an abandoned warehouse.
He had to admit, the environment was comparable to the studio he had initially established.
While thinking this, he walked into that warehouse.
"Ding-dong!"
To his surprise, as soon as he stepped inside, a crisp sound echoed from the doorway.
The game company had installed a sensor at the entrance.
"Who's there?!"
Startled, a male voice called out from inside the warehouse.
Shen Yan cleared his throat and asked in return, "Is this Ruan Ruan Game Co., Ltd.?"
As soon as his voice fell,
the man who had spoken fell silent.
After a few seconds,
the man rushed out of the warehouse.
Unlike his voice, an unshaven beard of several days, messy hair, and haphazardly matched clothes all revealed the man's somewhat slovenly nature.
Upon seeing him, the man's eyes lit up as if a wolf had spotted meat.
"Um... may I ask which company's boss you are?"
Hearing the question, Shen Yan raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise; he hadn't expected the other party to guess immediately that he was a company boss.
"Fuchen Enterprise."
As soon as he said that,
the other person's expression clearly became confused.
However, it wasn't long before the man composed himself and said to him, "Alright, shall we go inside and chat first?"
To be honest, Shen Yan didn't expect the man's attitude to be so enthusiastic—so enthusiastic that he started to doubt whether this was actually a legitimate game company.
As soon as they went in, the man brewed him a cup of hot tea and even brought him a pile of candies and snacks that looked like they were for children.
"I apologize, it's just that we haven't had any visitors in a long time, so our hospitality might be lacking."
Shen Yan looked at the candies and snacks on the table with an indescribable expression and said, "It's fine, I see your sincerity. By the way, do you know why I'm here?"
The man blinked and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you here to discuss an acquisition?"
Shen Yan: "..."
This guy really knew.
He cleared his throat again and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shen Yan."
When his words finished,
the man belatedly realized he hadn't introduced himself.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I haven't seen an outsider in too long. My name is Pan Shali; you can call me Old Pan."
Shen Yan smiled slightly and asked, "President Pan, how many years has your game company been in operation?"
Pan Shali scratched his head and replied, "Including this month, it's exactly two years. Alas, I originally wanted to hold on a bit longer, but... there's nothing I can do. I don't have enough capital, and I really can't sustain it anymore."
"Right now, including me, there are only three people left in our company. If you had come any later, there would probably only be two left."
Shen Yan: "... That's quite a small staff."
Pan Shali nodded with a flushed face.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yan continued to ask him, "Since you said you knew I was here for an acquisition, where is your company's report?"
Pan Shali blinked, and a confused light sparked in his eyes.
"What company report?"
Shen Yan took a deep breath. He couldn't believe the man opposite him was expecting an acquisition without even preparing a company report.
"When you want another company to acquire yours, the first thing you must do is compile a summary of your company's basic situation. This summary is called a company report. Have you prepared one?"
Pan Shali gave a constrained laugh.
"No."
Shen Yan fell silent.
He truly believed this game company was just a makeshift operation now.
After pausing for a few seconds, he asked the other party again, "Then how do you plan to get another company to acquire you?"
Pan Shali replied with a serious expression, "I posted a game announcement in the mobile game, and I also went around looking for other companies to acquire us."
Shen Yan pressed his temples.
"And then?"
Pan Shali shook his head and replied, "And then nothing."
Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but ask the other party, "Are you sure your company's name is Ruan Ruan Game Co., Ltd.?"
Pan Shali nodded very affirmatively.
"Of course! How could I not know my own company's name? My daughter named it; isn't it especially pleasant sounding?"
Shen Yan: "..."
Who cares who named it!
He took several deep breaths and asked Pan Shali, "How many games has your company developed in total?"
Pan Shali: "One."
Shen Yan nodded.
"Then do you mind showing me your game?"
Pan Shali looked astonished.
"You haven't played our game? Since you haven't played our game, how did you know our company was out of money?"
Shen Yan replied perfunctorily, "I was passing by and just took a look."
Pan Shali nodded seriously.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Shen Yan: "..."
The word 'speechless' was etched into his heart.
After chatting for a few more sentences,
Pan Shali led Shen Yan to the office and told him to log directly into the computer to enter the game.
"Isn't your game a mobile game?"
Hearing Shen Yan's question, Pan Shali nodded and replied, "Our game has two systems: mobile and PC. However, the mobile and PC versions can be played together."
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
He had initially thought this game company was entirely a makeshift operation, but he hadn't expected their game development technology to be quite advanced.
One must know that many game companies nowadays cannot achieve mobile and PC games operating on the same system.
While thinking this, he clicked to log into the game.
As soon as he logged in, the in-game graphics gave him another surprise.
This game was set in a Xianxia world.
Because it was a Xianxia world, the game's background was exceptionally vast.
At the same time, the map was also very large.
As soon as he entered, he saw the starry sky above and the game models moving without wind beside him.
"Who made these game models?"
Hearing Shen Yan's question, Pan Shali replied somewhat sheepishly, "I did. Because the funds weren't sufficient, they turned out a bit rough."
Shen Yan's eyes widened.
"And you call this rough?"
This was already several times more exquisite than the game models in the PC and mobile games he had played before!
Although he didn't say the latter part out loud, his expression conveyed everything.
Pan Shali said to him proudly, "If it weren't for the insufficient budget, I definitely could have made even more exquisite game models!"
