Chapter 69

Director Qin originally stammered and couldn’t speak clearly, but then he argued, “President Chu, in fact, many excellent games abroad have invested hundreds of millions of yuan, far exceeding the R&D budget…”

Zhang Jianian was frightened. He was very afraid that President Chu would be fooled by Director Qin. He had asked for a huge sum of money for “Win the War”. It was like what she would do. Director Qin’s price was too ridiculous and it was almost 100 million after rounding it up.

“Hmm…you mean the money you want isn’t too small?” Chu Chu was indeed interested in “Win the War”, but she wasn’t a fool to invest money.

She said earnestly, “The problems that can be solved with money are not real problems. If you can solve a problem without money, then you’re really capable.”

Director Qin uttered mercilessly, “You have a typical Party A’s way of thinking…” (Party A in contract)

Liang Chan desperately motioned to Director Qin, hoping that he was a little bit eager to survive.

How could he talk like that?

Chu Chu ruthlessly admitted, “But I am Party A now.”

It wasn’t that Chu Chu had never done a project. She knew too well that the people below loved crying poor. After all, she had cried poor and cut other people’s budgets. The investment in the film and television industry was even greater, with 200 million being cut into 100 million, 100 million being cut into 50 million, 50 million being cut into 20 million and similar things abound.

Director Qin said, “You can’t just let the cows produce milk and keep the cows from eating grass. This will only cause a decline in domestic games.”

Chu Chu also didn’t make concessions, “But I only want local milk. You can’t keep talking about imported milk from foreign countries.”

Director Qin: “…”

Director Qin: I am speechless, almost convinced by your genius logic.

Chu Chu wanted to make “Win the War”, but the price was really too much. The time in the book was different from the real world. This money could now be used to film two TV shows, or to participate in a B-round financing company, which was basically one-fifteenth of her total funds.

The duel task did require her to snatch the “Win the War” team, but the income model of the game wasn’t yet clear and it was easy to waste money.

“I’m a reasonable person, otherwise you can tell me where the money is spent,” Chu Chu said calmly, afraid of stimulating Director Qin’s emotions. She couldn’t just listen to Director Qin’s offer and take out the money without asking.

It was rare for Director Qin to be excited and he took up the challenge with a fighting spirit, “Okay.”

As soon as Director Qin was about to speak, Chu Chu added, “You have to not only explain to me, but also other people in my team.”

Liang Chan hesitated when he heard that. He was aware of Director Qin’s poor speech ability and suggested, “President Chu, it’s better for me to do it…”

“Since if I pay with my heart, the players will see it, so if you explain with your heart, you should also make us feel it?” Chu Chu turned to look at Director Qin.

“I can speak.” Director Qin had retreated a bit, but now he mustered up the courage, “I will introduce ‘Win the War’.”

In the conference room, Director Qin looked at the room full of elites and swallowed nervously. He didn’t expect that one day he would ask for investment in “Win the War” on stage. He opened the PPT, coughed slightly and then began to explain, “Let me briefly introduce the various sections of ‘Win the War’ R&D investment…”

It was the first time he was speaking to so many people. Sweat was dripping from his forehead and he was a little dizzy.

Upon seeing that, Chu Chu encouraged him, “Be strong. It’s not easy to cheat money.”

Director Qin: “…”

He was comforted by these inexplicable words and no longer felt nervous.

Of course, he quickly dispelled the trace of gratitude in his heart for President Chu and wanted to fly her every second. There was no other reason. President Chu was simply asking for details critically, slashing the budget of “Win the War” frantically. Zhang Jianian had never seen her being so harsh.

Zhang Jianian: As expected, no one can stop the boss.

President Chu told him at first that if he wanted to make ‘Win the War’, but had no money, he could figure it out. Then she asked Director Qin the purpose of various expenses. Zhang Jianian even suspected that she was bullying the child and deliberately prevented Liang Chan, who was fluent in communication from speaking and chose Director Qin, who wasn’t good at it, to come on stage.

President Chu simply played the harsh Party A perfectly. Every question was probing around the edge of Director Qin’s anger.

“I don’t quite understand the value of this part of the investment…”

“How long do you calculate in a cycle? Is there a theoretical basis?”

“How to check and accept the R&D results of each stage? How to ensure the progress of the project?”

Director Qin: “…”

Director Qin: President Chu personally verified the famous saying ‘As long as Party A makes things difficult with their heart, Party B will always see it.’

Later, whenever Director Qin recalled this tragic experience, he would enter the game and play. Because of it, he later secretly added a female BOSS named “Miss.C” in “Win the War”, with the character lines “Paying with heart is better than paying with money”, “There is nothing in the world that cannot be slashed”, etc. The nirvana skill “Storm Eleven Slashes”  was considered by players to be the big boss behind the metaphor.

At this moment, Chu Chu had just finished the reality version of “Storm Eleven Slashes” for Director Qin. She cut off one-third of the budget and nodded with satisfaction, “Now I think it can be done.”

Although Chu Chu’s original idea was to cut half of the budget, a lot of expenses deemed necessary after hearing Director Qin’s explanation and cutting more would indeed affect the quality. She accepted this round of negotiations and Director Qin didn’t misrepresent false prices and was more pertinent. Cutting the budget was a process of testing each other. She came to know Director Qin through these behaviors.

Director Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was worthwhile that he worked hard to convince President Chu as he had achieved initial results.

Chu Chu turned her head and asked Zhang Jianian, “What do you think about us investing in the game and signing a supplementary agreement with Light World Entertainment?”

Liang Chan and Director Qin showed joy and looked forward to Zhang Jianian.

Zhang Jianian looked stiff and he said with difficulty, “Can I make some suggestions for your decision?”
