Chapter 192: Buying a House?

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Buying a House?

Wan Chu’er raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Second Brother, that’s a great idea, it sounds very grand. I’d love to try it, but let’s just dream about it for now. I only have twenty thousand yuan in total."

Xiao Bai, with a look of frustration, said, "Spending a month in the remote area has really made you foolish?"

After several hours of rest, Wan Chu’er was now spirited and no longer let Xiao Bai grouse at her.

"Slap!" Wan Chu’er slapped the advertisement in her hand onto the table.

"Bai Qiyan, you’ve turned against me, repeatedly putting me down. It seems you’re asking for trouble, let me loosen your bones a little," said Wan Chu’er, glaring at him, fists clenched as if she was about to beat Xiao Bai.

Seeing the situation turning sour, and knowing he was no match for her, Xiao Bai hurriedly said:

"Wan Chu’er, if you dare hit me, I’ll take the money and run away, not leaving you a penny."

Take the money and run?

Wan Chu’er thought of a possibility, her eyes immediately lit up, and she relaxed her fists.

"Has that game been launched? Is it very popular? Did it make a lot of money?"

Xiao Bai chuckled, "We are all rich now. Your game has only been on the market for a week, and it’s already set off a trend. A few days ago, a film company came, wanting to buy the rights for film adaptation. Guess how much they offered?"

He held up two fingers, proudly saying, "Two million!"

"And that’s just their initial offer, we haven’t even started bargaining yet."

"The rights for film adaptation are entirely in your hands, our partnership with Dingsheng Technology only covers the game operations. Even An Zihao doesn’t have a share, so if the film rights are sold and taxes paid, whatever is left is all yours. You’re rich now, aren’t you? Doesn’t that mean you can switch to a bigger house whenever you want?"

Hearing this, Wan Chu’er became totally elated. She didn’t expect the situation to improve so well in just one month.

Thinking of the over one million yuan she would soon have and becoming rich overnight, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Bai continued, "But let’s not rush. I plan to continue building momentum for the game, so we can sell it at an even higher price later on."

Terrific idea!

Wan Chu’er quickly brainstormed, excitedly suggesting:

"Let’s have people post more on various forums, stir up some discussions; maybe organize a national contest for game enthusiasts; or perhaps I could go for an interview with a couple of newspapers? A beautiful female developer, that sounds catchy, we should place more ads in the newspapers..."

Seeing her throwing out a myriad of ideas, Xiao Bai chuckled, "We’re already doing everything except your interview."

Eh?

Wan Chu’er glanced at him, then immediately rushed to the computer.

A month away from the internet, she was completely unaware of the online situation.

As she waited for the computer to start up, she suggested, "We could also place some outdoor advertisements in high-traffic areas."

Hearing this, Xiao Bai laughed, "Wan Chu’er, did you only focus on the road when you came out of the railway station today? You actually missed the huge advertisement on the building opposite the station! You really are blind!"

Oh? Wan Chu’er was surprised but then quickly worried, "Doesn’t that mean a lot was spent on marketing and promotion?"

Xiao Bai gave her a look, "To make money, you have to spend money. Don’t say that kind of thing when you go out, or it’ll make us look foolish. Otherwise, why do you think that film company approached us?"

Just then, the computer booted up. Wan Chu’er chuckled and ignored him.

Her fingers flew over the keyboard and mouse, rapidly switching between web pages, her smile growing brighter as she browsed.

During her quick browsing, a post title caught her eye: "Heard the game developer is a beauty?"

On a whim, Wan Chu’er quickly replied: "Not only a beauty, but also the belle of the first university!"

Since female students are rare at the first university, and beauties even rarer, Lin Yufei had often praised her as a great beauty, one fit to be called the campus belle. Therefore, Wan Chu’er didn’t think it was a complete lie, and it could draw people’s attention. Enthusiastic about making things up, she didn’t mind as no one would know it was her own words.

Just then, Xiao Bai came over, saw what she wrote, and couldn’t help scoffing, which made Wan Chu’er cross at him, ready to fight if he dared to comment.

Xiao Bai then said, "Well said! We’re the self-proclaimed campus belle of the first university!"

Wan Chu’er snorted, continuing to browse through other forum information.

Half an hour later, Wan Chu’er was completely convinced that if she wanted to buy a big house, she could afford it. She walked to the sofa again, casually picked up the stack of real estate advertisements.

"Hmm, this apartment has good floor level, I like high-rise buildings, but the layout isn’t that great."

"The traffic location here isn’t too good."

"I wonder how the greenery is in this area?"

...

Xiao Bai, watching her act so pretentiously, burst out laughing.

After a long selection, Wan Chu’er took an interest in a 150 square meter apartment in a very strategic location, peaceful amidst the bustle.

"Second Brother, now that we have money, let’s each buy one, facing each other. Property prices in Beijing are sure to rise, it’s better to buy more now while it’s still affordable."

Seeing Wan Chu’er no longer mentioned living at Jiang Kechu’s place, Xiao Bai thought that indeed, this girl needs to be raised in wealth, her vision broadened, and ordinary people naturally won’t appeal to her.

He cleared his throat and said, "Well, no rush, you pick slowly. We actually don’t have the money yet."

Err...

Wan Chu’er looked at him.

Xiao Bai turned his head here and there, then said, "We will have money in the future, just not in hand yet."

Silently, Wan Chu’er said, "You encouraging me to buy a house like just now, I thought it was just a matter of choosing and then I could straightaway pay and move in. Turns out Second Brother is just painting cakes for me to look at."

She thought again, and it made sense. It’s only been a month, and even if the promotion was aggressive, seeing actual results still requires time.

Moreover, they are still in the stage of investing money, the actual earnings would only be available by year’s end. Their partnership with Dingsheng is a revenue-sharing model, and after splitting with Dingsheng, they had to share with An Zihao again, who knows how much would be left.

The income from the game was not reliable; only selling the film rights seemed hopeful.

She was being impatient.

Xiao Bai disagreed, "How can it be just painting cakes? Can you eat the cakes you draw? Our money is real, it’s just gonna take some time before it reaches our pockets."

Wan Chu’er chuckled, no longer interested in the real estate ads, instead she turned to Xiao Bai and said, "Second Brother, let me know whatever needs to be done, just say the word."
