”‘Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal,’ released in 1996, collector’s edition. I can’t believe we have a copy. Actually, during my childhood, I had a copy, but I didn’t take care of it and threw it away.
”‘Warcraft II’ was awarded the ‘Best Multiplayer Game of The Year’ by PC-Game, and ‘Best Online Game of The Year’ by CNET. Blizzard Entertainment started being successful from there…
”Look, behind the packaging, there’s a preview of an upcoming game. That would be ‘StarCraft,’ which would become a future hit. Oh, and there’s also a part promoting ‘Diablo’—but why is it so small?
”Seems like Blizzard Entertainment didn’t have high expectations for ‘Diablo.’ However, it turned out to be a dark horse. Eighteen days after it launched, it had sold one million copies.”
When it came to these games, Potter was not shy anymore. He spoke with confidence, and was knowledgeable on every disc.
After flipping through them, he said, ”Alright, sirs. I would like to buy these, with confirmation that it’s all the original discs in them.”
”After negotiating the price,” Hans said, ”you can open them for validation.”
Potter asked, ”How much would you like for them?”
Hans placed down his coffee cup and said in a firm tone, ”I believe 25,000 is a reasonable price. Look at how well they have been maintained. With the age—”
”Alright,” Potter said amiably, ”if they are the original discs, then 25,000 it is.”
Hans was about to let loose of a wave of logic and arguments, but in the end, he bottled it all up.
Li Du couldn’t help but laugh; he had seen that look from Hans before.
When they had first started working together, they picked up a Harley Davidson motorcycle from a unit and sold it to Cylinder Head. He was also like this: when Hans had stated his initial price, the other party accepted it immediately.
In fact, that was a negotiable price. The lowest he would go was 20,000.
However, the higher the better. Hans shrugged to Li Du and said with a bitter laugh, ”I should have just said 50,000.”
Potter clearly was one of those born with a silver spoon in his mouth; one could tell just from his clothes.
He wore an Armani casual shirt; just this piece of clothing could possibly be worth the combined cost of all the clothes Li Du had worn in his entire life.
Potter opened the games and checked the discs. He had a laptop in his bag. After putting the discs in, it revealed that they were functioning properly.
He randomly picked a few, and after validating that none of them had any issues, he said, ”Nice working with you guys—tell me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
It was indeed a pleasant deal.
Hans shook hands with him and said, ”Thank you, buddy. I’m happy to have found a suitable owner for these discs. Forgive my bluntness, but only a handful of people are worthy of having them, and clearly you are one of those few.”
Potter smiled politely and said, ”I like to collect games discs and comic books. If you have any comic books that are worth collecting, you can also come and find me. I’ll give you guys a good price.”
”Deal!”
