Offside game

Hearing Su Yi say this, Luo Juan could guess that they must have contacted more than just her company. After careful consideration, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a sly one, haha. How about this, although the maximum split is 50/50, for our first cooperation, we'll give you 60% of the revenue, 60% of the net profit after sales. This is already the most favorable condition in China."

The revenue sharing ratio was indeed very generous, and Su Yi was quite satisfied. Therefore, he said, "Okay, I agree to this revenue sharing ratio. I will grant your company the PC game sales rights for the Chinese region, including mainland China and Taiwan."

Hearing Su Yi say this, Luo Juan shook her head and said, "We want global sales rights."

"But as far as I know, your company only has a sales network in South Korea and Southeast Asia, and has not even entered the Japanese market."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Juan looked at Su Yi and said, "We need at least the sales rights in Asia, including Japan."

"Okay, I agree. When can we sign the contract?"

“We also want priority signing rights for your next game,” Luo Juan continued.

Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "I can only guarantee that if the next game still uses the agency sales method, I can give you priority signing rights in the Asian region."

Luo Juan smiled and said, "To be honest, I admire you more and more. I agree that we can officially sign the contract at our company tomorrow. I hope our cooperation will be successful." Her expression was very serious as she spoke.

"That's what I think too." The two smiled at each other and casually chatted about other topics. Luo Juan wanted to know about their studio, but Su Yi evaded the question, not saying anything substantial.

Luo Juan arrived by car, a cute red Volkswagen Beetle. As they left Starbucks, she offered to drive Su Yi home, but Su Yi, seeing it wasn't too late and wanting to wander around, politely declined.

The next morning around 10 a.m., while Su Yi was still in his room working on the instant messaging software, he received a call from Luo Juan, who invited him to Tiandi Software to sign the final contract.

Su Yi, carrying the T20, took a taxi to the Tiandi Building, where Tiandi Software was located. Tiandi Software occupied the top two floors of the building, and upon entering, he was surprised to find Luo Juan personally waiting for him below. Su Yi was somewhat flattered. From the way the Tiandi Software employees treated Luo Juan, he could tell that her identity was special, further confirming his suspicions. After settling into the designated reception room, Luo Juan presented him with two printed contracts for review. Su Yi carefully examined them, pointing out several inappropriate parts. The final version was immediately printed and brought over. Seeing that there were no problems, Su Yi signed the contract and handed it to Luo Juan. Luo Juan immediately signed her name as well. Thus, the contract was now in effect.

Luo Juan extended her hand to Su Yi and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Su Yi said the same thing, holding her soft little hand, feeling very comfortable.

Then Su Yi handed over the complete game installation master disc to Tiandi Software.

Before leaving, Luo Juan hoped that Su Yi could attend the press conference they were holding specifically for this matter, but Su Yi didn't want to face the public so soon and declined, citing that he was still in school and had other work to do. Luo Juan didn't force him.

Just as Su Yi stepped out of the Tiandi Building, his phone rang again. A middle-aged man's voice answered: "Hello, is this Mr. Su? My name is Jian Dongming, from Yubi China. I just arrived in Beijing. Could we schedule a time to meet?"

Su Yi arranged to meet with the people from Yu Bi China that afternoon. After the meeting, Su Yi apologized to Jian Dongming and told him that he had given the Asian sales rights for "The Evolution of History" to Tiandi Software.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Jian Dongming's face, but noticing that Su Yi emphasized the sales rights for the Asian region, he asked how the sales rights for other regions would be handled. Su Yi opportunely suggested that they could discuss sales agency arrangements for regions outside Asia with Yu Bi Company. After understanding the general agreement with Tiandi Software, Jian Dongming immediately consulted Yu Bi's headquarters. After some haggling, they essentially accepted Su Yi's conditions. After all, the fervor surrounding "The Advancement of History" had swept across the globe, not just in China.

Ultimately, Ubisoft International acquired the global PC game distribution rights for "Evolution of History" excluding Asia, with Su Yi receiving 60% of the profits.

Su Yi then realized that Jian Dongming was actually the vice president of Yubi China. After signing the contract with him according to the terms of the contract with Tiandi Software, he also handed over a complete version of the "Evolution of History" installation master disk.

The following day, Tiandi Software held a press conference in Beijing, announcing that it had obtained authorization from Pangu Studio to begin selling the full version of the currently popular online game "Evolution of History" in Asia. They also revealed the differences between the full version and the demo version released online. Sales would begin simultaneously in all Asian regions ten days later.

That afternoon, international gaming giant Yubi held a press conference at its Paris headquarters, announcing that it had acquired the global sales rights for *Evolution* in all regions except Asia. The company will uniformly sell the official version, which includes language packs for various countries including English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. They claimed that this version, unlike the online demo version, will bring surprises to all players.

The release of these two announcements immediately attracted attention in the gaming industry. On one hand, it was a game favored by two well-known game companies; on the other hand, *Evolution of History* had consistently topped game charts on various gaming websites worldwide for several weeks and was unanimously praised by numerous game critics. Therefore, *Evolution of History* became one of the most anticipated games among players recently.

At this time, Su Yi had already returned to his home in Dongdu and received a call from Ji Feng.

"Master, where have you been these past two days? I can't get through to you on the phone, and there's no one at your house."

Su Yi knew he had received several phone calls while he was away from home as soon as he returned. Of course, most of them were from Ji Feng, but another number called twice; it was from An Jing's family.

"I had some business to attend to and was away for two days. What happened?" Su Yi replied.

"Yeah, I have something great to tell you. Have you heard of the Lechang gaming platform? It's really popular lately, almost as hot as 'Evolution of History.' By the way, Master, have you played 'Evolution of History'? It's so much fun, I've been playing it all the time. But don't worry, I haven't missed any of my daily training. The Lechang gaming platform is also great. I heard about it from a classmate and downloaded it. It's so smooth for playing CS and StarCraft online, no lag at all. Now I can finally play CS online with others, it's awesome! You should download it and try it out. After you register, tell me your name so we can play online. By the way, my name is Wind Child." You could tell Ji Feng was very excited, saying so much all at once.

Su Yi verbally agreed, but inwardly he was secretly amused. His disciple had no idea that he was the one who had orchestrated all of this. He wondered what kind of expression his disciple would have when he found out; it would certainly be quite a sight. However, he decided to keep a low profile for now and didn't plan to tell anyone.

He first went online and discovered that in a short time, the Lechang gaming platform had entered the download charts of various websites. There were even forums online dedicated to the Lechang gaming platform. Many people met other players and exchanged gaming tips there. Earlier, there were also many forums dedicated to "Historic Evolution." These forums already had considerable traffic.

Using the Kosei, Su Yi searched online for all the suggestions and opinions about the Lechang platform, then compiled and analyzed them. He prepared to upgrade the Lechang gaming platform. If his initial idea for creating this platform was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, now, seeing its popularity, he was considering how to further develop its potential.

By this time, he had finished developing the instant messaging software called "Liaoliao." Su Yi planned to integrate it with the Lechang gaming platform to achieve more powerful functions. Then, he would fix some bugs and shortcomings pointed out by everyone, incorporate some creative suggestions, and launch the official version of the Lechang gaming platform.

Su Yi wasn't busy with the rest of his work, so he picked up the phone and dialed An Jing's home number. He suddenly felt a deep longing for the girl and desperately wanted to hear her voice.

Anjing's mother answered the phone again. Su Yi's heart sank and he felt a wave of disappointment. He still said, "Auntie, is Anjing home? I'm her classmate."

"Oh, wait a moment, I'll go call her." Hearing her say that, Su Yi suddenly became excited, faintly hearing her quiet mother calling her.

"Hello?" The phone was picked up, and a quiet, smooth voice came from the receiver.

"Xiao Jing, I am Su Yi."

Hearing Su Yi's voice and that affectionate address, An Jing was suddenly immersed in Su Yi's gentleness. It seemed like it had been a long time since she had heard it. Looking around the living room, her mother wasn't there. She smiled and said softly, "Yi, I went to my aunt's house a few days ago. When I came back, my mother told me she had called me, so I guessed it might be you, but no one answered when I called you."

Su Yi felt deeply apologetic. Listening to An Jing's quiet words, he could almost see her adorable, slightly reproachful expression. He gently replied, "I had some things to do and was away for two days. I just got back and called you." The tender and romantic atmosphere that gradually developed between them was quite enjoyable for both of them. Su Yi asked, "By the way, Xiao Jing, when are you planning to go to Yanjing?"

“Yes, school starts soon. I haven’t bought a ticket yet, Yi. I want to take the train. I’ve never ridden a train before.” Anjing said this. Actually, her father had told her about this before and planned to buy her a plane ticket to Beijing, but Anjing wanted to go to Yanjing with Su Yi. Considering Su Yi’s situation, she told her father that she wanted to take the train, even though it would be more tiring. Now she said the same thing to Su Yi.
