Chapter 85 Concession
The office building of Feifan Island Company has very high floors, giving people a sense of openness.
The fact that Su Xiaocai was able to rent such a large storefront in Capital Star was enough to prove that he had a solid network of connections.
The student union president admired Su Xiaocai very much for starting a company as a freshman and running it very successfully.
In his own planned life, starting a company was something he could only consider after he turned 40.
Leaning on the comfortable single sofa, the student council president enjoyed the future. Even if he couldn't be a boss, being an employee of Feifan Island seemed not bad either.
They didn't have to wait long before a man of unknown age came in with two cups of tea.
Put it in front of them, "I am Mr. Yu's secretary, my last name is Luo, he is still busy, on the phone, maybe wait two minutes."
"It's okay, it's okay. We're not in a hurry." The student union president understood very well that the game was so popular that Yu Haiming must be busy. The general manager, or the president, was willing to receive them in person, which meant that he had no intention of neglecting them.
After a while, the door of the conference room opened and a man who looked younger than Secretary Luo walked in. He was wearing casual clothes and had a relaxed look.
Such a relaxed working state, the student council president took a second look.
As soon as the man sat down, the student union president knew that this was Yu Haiming.
There is very little personal information about Yu Haiming on the Internet. Just a few words, saying that he has an average education but good abilities, and that's it.
Yu Haiming sat opposite them on the other side of the table.
"Hello, Principal Min, President Mo, I'm glad you're here."
The student council president said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Principal Min didn't say anything. It was the student union president who was negotiating. The student union president stated their purpose.
They wanted to buy the account at a discount. "At present, all the simulation cabins in the school have downloaded the Extraordinary Island Project. We are very sincere in the discussion."
The student council president understood that given the popularity of Feifan Island, there was no need to sell it at a discount, but with so many students requesting it, he didn't want to disappoint them, so he tried to get more discounts.
If you can’t get a discount, try to get more accounts.
"We have tens of thousands of students who have applied. I wonder what your lowest price is, Mr. Yu."
Yu Haiming bounced the question back: "How much do you plan to bid?"
President Mo has encountered too many questions like this. The other party has no shortage of business and the supply is in short supply, so it is the most difficult to lower the price.
The school doesn't care. The vice-president just sits there and does not get involved in the student union's affairs.
President Mo made up his mind and said, "Fifteen hundred." He reduced the price to 50%.
Anyway, the students will buy it, and the school is just a matchmaker.
Yu Haiming smiled gently.
"What are you laughing at, Mr. Yu? Is the price too low? You can negotiate the price you want." President Mo also felt that he had bargained a little too low, but the bargaining mode was similar. If you come up with a price with lower psychological expectations first, you can give each other more room to maneuver.
"No, I just think you are too conservative."
Principal Min and President Mo looked confused.
"Five hundred." Yu Haiming took the initiative and said, "I'll give you five hundred."
The two were stunned. Is there anyone who would take the initiative to lower the price?
In the bright office, Yu Haiming, whose complexion looked rosy and healthier, poured tea for the principal and students of similar age.
"You're welcome, Manager Yu." President Mo would never have thought that a businessman would voluntarily give up so much profit.
He wanted to know why.
"We established our company to make money. But Boss Su's original intention was to train excellent commanders in the school, so that they can grow step by step and become towering trees without having to grow up hard on the battlefield."
This is also the reason why Yu Haiming follows Su Xiaocai wholeheartedly.
If her game were put by other companies, the technical cost would actually be very high, and even if it sold for 5,000, it might not make back the investment in a year.
The server also needs to be optimized to run, and the cost is also huge.
Without the hundreds of millions of dollars of investment from several shareholders, it would be impossible to open up markets on other planets.
The accounts have not been settled yet and the business is in the red, but Su Xiaocai is able to remain calm and not be hasty or slow.
President Mo clenched his fists. This way, even poor students could buy an account by tightening their belts.
"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by consumers?"
"You can scold as much as you want. Feifan Island is not afraid of such discussions. If you are capable of passing the military training, you can still enjoy this great benefit." Yu Haiming said with a smile: "Next year, I am afraid that the quality of students applying for the military training will be even higher."
"I wish you good luck." It was so pleasant to listen to Yu Haiming speak.
Vice President Min felt relieved. With an amount of 500 yuan per account, the school did not need to allocate funds to loan to students. Any student could afford it.
Yu Haiming said, "Director, don't worry too soon. This price is only for the school simulation cabin. Once you leave the school simulation cabin and use a private simulation cabin, your account will be frozen and you will have to pay the difference before you can play. That is a restriction. You have to consider whether the students can accept it."
No matter how many simulation cabins a school has, the time students have to play is limited.
Principal Min was very confident, "There is absolutely no problem with this."
Students just want to have an account. Whether they pay the money later is their own business.
"Can you provide an account of 20,000 yuan first? The school will solve the school's problems."
Yu Haiming nodded and said decisively: "Okay."
President Mo: "What if I ask for 30,000 accounts?"
That’s too much. Yu Haiming said directly that there was no answer.
President Mo sneered, the other party was already very generous.
He doesn't even have to argue with reason, and the matter can go smoothly just by talking back and forth. Don't go too far.
They wrote the first draft of the cooperation contract early in the morning.
Chairman Mo looked at Yu Haiming's young face and said presumptuously, "I don't know how old Mr. Yu is. He doesn't look very old."
"I'm already twenty-two."
The 23-year-old was choked, it turned out that Yu Haiming didn't just look young, he was really young.
President Mo laughed dryly and said, "You are young and promising. I am one year older than you."
"Thank you for your kindness, boss." Yu Haiming smiled slightly, like a shy boy.
President Mo: "You must be very capable."
Yu Haiming accepted President Mo's praise.
The next day after signing the contract, Yu Haiming directly issued 20,000 accounts to President Mo.
President Mo posted this link in the school forum and students can purchase it with their student accounts.
It was also explained that this was the lowest discount price that Su had proactively given to other students, and that it was only available in the school simulation cabin. If one wanted to use it in a private simulation cabin, one would have to pay the difference themselves.
When the 20,000 accounts arrived, the students were delighted. Some even wanted to find Su Xiaocai and give her a big hug.
It is impossible to hug someone. Many people are happy too early.
For a super-large school, 20,000 accounts is like throwing a pile of sand and stones into a lake. You see ripples, and then they are gone.
The entire mecha department and the command department were notified in advance by the instructors and took the initiative to seize the opportunity.
After a round of competition, there were only over 2,000 vacancies left.
The students were so angry that they were about to cry.
Several students who received military training complained on online platforms, saying that their schools were terrible. They went to negotiate business but did not even apply for a few more places.
He seems to be complaining, but in fact he is showing off, making all the game lovers extremely envious.
"Woke up early and saw the crit."
"Oh my god...what's going on in our school? Look at Junpei's speed. Junya, what are you doing?"
"I'm so angry. Junpeite is not a human being anymore."
"I'm going to drive my bastard son to study and take the military training exam."
"Who doesn't want to take the exam? It's like if you can take the exam, you can pass it."
"The boss is from the military training school and he took the initiative to seek benefits for the military training school. That's great."
"Boss Cai, please come out here. Jun Pei can give 500 yuan, why should we only give 3,000 yuan?"
"Don't get us wrong, Caicai. Only if you use the school simulation cabin will the price be 500. If you use a private simulation cabin, you have to pay the difference."
"That's right, Cai Cai is a kind person. She has considered a lot for students from poor families. If they have a simulation cabin, they don't care about the two thousand yuan."
"Junhui, goodbye. Taro, goodbye. Junyue Mengxiang, goodbye. I will join the military training next year, so don't worry about me."
"I am also going to the military training. The competition for the military training will be terribly fierce next year."
"As an early admission student, I accepted military training and came to Olive Branch. Don't envy me."
"I was stuffed with a lemon, what a terrible honors student."
"Envy, jealousy, and the desire to kill."
"Your school is really capable of taking action. We, Junya, have urged the student union desperately, but the student union remained unmoved."
It's not that the student union of Junya doesn't want to make any changes, it's that both the president and the vice president won't allow it. They look down on a company started by a student, and have no interest in its works. They only like to look at those that are ranked top in the world.
Regarding students' applications, they all say that they are not doing their job properly.
As a result, the whole school is now filled with growing resentment.
Ruoting considered Feng Wansha's suggestion and transferred to another school.
His grades were good enough to get into military training, and it was Jun Ya who spent a lot of money and reason to get him into the school.
It's a pity that he signed an agreement and had to study in Junya for four years.
Even if you transfer schools, you have to pursue graduate studies after graduation.
The rise of one game will inevitably lead to the decline of other games. Last summer, the game in which Su Xiaocai won the first place using the account Qingqingzaiwu experienced a slight loss in traffic.
If we only look at the capital area, we can say that the loss is serious.
It is foreseeable how much impact the expansion of Feifan Island will have on their market.
In order to retain customers, they had no choice but to lower prices, but if the technical problems were not resolved, they would not be able to compete with the Feifan Island Project.
Recently more and more people have been contacting the staff of the Extraordinary Island Project.
There are countless people who invite Yu Haiming to change jobs.
Yu Haiming ignored them all.
No staff left.
The people Yu Haiming chooses are all smart people who can see clearly why other companies come to poach people.
Even if they are poached, they will not be able to provide any useful information and will instead be put in a dilemma.
It is better to work peacefully in this company that is about to take off.
As outside companies are unable to intervene in the Extraordinary Island, which is a piece of iron barrel, for the time being, they can only wait for the opportunity.
……
One month after school started, Su Xiaocai packaged Mangxue's thesis, all the previous experimental data, and the video of killing the Zerg mutant warriors, and sent them to Professor Li.
"Professor, please help me see if this paper can be published on the official academic forum."
Professor Li almost burned his head.
When the military sent him a research project, he wondered if the military had been beaten too many times by the Zerg people and deliberately sent him the project to make things difficult for them.
Who would have thought that it was prepared for Su Xiaocai, who had already achieved results.
No matter how busy Professor Li is, he can only help his favorite student to read the paper first.
The more Professor Li read it, the more shocked he became. This was a completely mature paper with great depth.
The Zerg are a race in the universe. They are strong and have unparalleled combat power, but they cannot be perfect.
So humans rely on wisdom to temporarily tie with them.
But that’s not enough. Although human technology is advancing, insect people are also constantly evolving.
Su Xiaocai believes that there must be some animals and plants in the universe that can effectively attack the insect people.
She analyzed many research subjects before finally choosing Mangxue.
From plant characteristics and habits to step-by-step experiments and experimental records.
This experiment was carried out for several years and achieved ideal results.
Genetically speaking, Mangxue is still Mangxue, but after being optimized generation after generation, it has become more targeted against Zergmen.
He needs to see the actual object and report it.
Generally, for this type of cultivation patent, you can publish a paper first and then apply for it.
Once the publication is successful, a patent application can be obtained faster.
To publish on the official forum, you need a recommendation from a qualified teacher.
Professor Li thought about it and informed the principal so that the school leaders would not be kept in the dark.
On the other hand, Su Xiaocai got information about the forum recommended by Professor Li.
"When do you plan to graduate? Do you plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Why don't you speed up your course learning and directly apply for a postgraduate degree in agricultural science?" These were Professor Li's exact words.
Of course Su Xiaocai was willing, but she didn't know if she had the time to complete her postgraduate studies.
So she told Professor Li the truth about her situation and asked him if he would be willing to accept a graduate student who was often out of sight. If he didn't mind that, she would be totally fine with it.
Professor Li was fuming and glaring. How could this be possible? She was too arrogant because of her favor. She was not as cute as she was when we first met.
But the message he sent out was, "Okay, prepare to skip a grade. I will personally teach you in your junior year next year."
Su Xiaocai: "That may not be possible. I'm really busy this year and would like to follow the normal process." The seniors are so cute, so I'd better let them go.
Professor Li was a little angry, which was rare. He didn't know what she was busy with. If she graduated earlier, she would not be so busy.
He completely forgot that being a graduate student is not easy either.
The paper was submitted to the military, who responded quickly and reported it back to Lieutenant General Bai.
When Lieutenant General Bai saw Su Xiaocai's name, he nodded with satisfaction, had the seeds brought back safely, and sent professors or students to study.
The military has a lot of insect-man corpses. Instead of spending a lot of effort to destroy them, it would be better to use them to plant flowers.
He directly approved the project reward, which could only belong to Su Xiaocai.
We must not let the young students feel disappointed.
On the other hand, the official academic forum received Professor Li’s paper.
Normally, every paper has to be scheduled and will not be posted on the forum until at least next month.
After reading it, the review editor realized the value of this paper and believed it would become a big hit and give people more ideas on how to deal with the Zerg.
He hurriedly went to the editor-in-chief and said, "Editor-in-chief, please take a look at this article and see if it can be put up for publication first."
The editor-in-chief frowned and opened his mechanized half palm and waved it with a somewhat awkward movement. He was a scientist who had retired from the battlefield and had been in charge of the logistics of the insect research laboratory.
After half of his palm was eaten by the insect man, he developed a psychological trauma and was unable to face those things, so he retreated.
The mechanized part of the operation was not going as planned, so he squinted his eyes and examined the editor in front of him.
The editor was frightened by his gaze, "Boss, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm checking to see if you've accepted bribes."
"Bah, the whole office knows me, I'm the most fair and honest person." The editor tried to defend himself, "I'm a bachelor, I have no debts, no family, I don't go whoring or gambling, why would I be greedy for that money?"
"I didn't say you took bribes." The editor-in-chief doesn't like to cut in line. People who are engaged in academics are all a bit proud.
"Editor-in-chief, please take a look first. I have contacted the military on purpose. This person's stuff has caught the military's eye. They want it and have contacted the school to ask for it."
There was an incident in the past where the military contacted students privately, but the students mistakenly thought that they wanted to seize something. Since then, whenever the military wants something, they basically contact the school.
Hearing that the military wanted it, the editor-in-chief took it and read it with some doubt.
Once you see it, you can't stop.
He finished reading the paper with fascination. He admired the scene of the blooming Red Rose devouring the insect-man mother variant. It was only two minutes long, but it was full of unparalleled charm.
"This paper comes at the perfect time." This video must not be leaked, but the paper must be published in advance.
“Notify the publishing team and prepare to put a homepage banner next week. Contact relevant experts now and review this person’s paper.”
Publishing an academic paper requires rigorous and multi-faceted examination, and one week is a very tight time.
The paper is reviewed by more than one editor and they rotate. The editors of academic forums are all quite professional and can easily determine whether the data is falsified just by taking a look.
Of course, whether there is any fraud or not needs to be judged by a professor, and the person himself needs to be found to verify the situation.
……
At this time, with the help of Wisdom 03, Su Xiaocai controlled the robotic arm and focused on assembling parts.
The basic architecture of the mecha has been released. Different from the general mecha design, its architecture is more complex.
Utilizing special folding technology, all components are freely controllable and retractable structures that can adapt to any terrain.
Lieutenant General Bai is a master of tactics and surprise. The more versatile his mecha is, the richer his tactics are.
Grabbing the upright iron rod and returning to the ground, Su Xiaocai walked a little further away and looked at the prototype of the mecha. She was very satisfied with its design, but felt a little helpless about the current technological mastery.
If she had the money to build a series of experimental instruments or purchase expensive equipment, this mecha would definitely not stop there.
There is another mecha under construction next door, but the progress is a little slower. They are all customized mechas for Lieutenant General Bai, customized for Admiral Bai.
Lieutenant General Bai recently plans to have military maintenance technicians come to learn so that they will know how to repair the damaged mechas.
Su Xiaocai welcomed it, but she had no time, as she was already treating her 24 hours a day as 48 hours.
There is also the term metal fatigue in mechanics.
Besides, her body must adjust itself.
Not feeling tired doesn’t mean you won’t have backaches. If you focus on doing one thing for a long time, your muscles will easily become sore.
