Chapter 540: The First Wave of Confrontation with World of Warcraft
"Mr. Allen, we NetEase have been very sincere."
"Sorry, Mr. Ding, there is too much difference between you and Huanyu Technology."
"Mr. Allen, do you really think that Universal Technology wants to represent your World of Warcraft?"
Ding Yingfeng met with Blizzard Vice President Allen again.
"Why not, they can sign us right away."
"No no no, they just said, can't you see that they are raising the price?"
"Raise the price, do you think someone is willing to spend $200 million just to raise the price?"
Allen shook his head and said, "Huanyu Technology has the strength and the funds. I believe they are a very good agency. We will give World of Warcraft to them, and we are more assured."
"If that's the case, then Mr. Allen probably won't see me again."
Ding Yingfeng looked at Allen.
Alan didn't speak.
He took a sip of coffee.
In fact, how could Alan not see Universal Technology's actions.
That's right.
Allen, including Blizzard headquarters, agreed that Universal Technology was raising prices.
Otherwise, he would not be able to make a astronomical price of 200 million US dollars.
But even so, Allen didn't want to break it.
Whether they raise the price or not, this is good for them Blizzard.
Even if it is not an agency to Huanyu Technology in the future, but an agency to other game companies, the agency fee can also increase a lot.
But it seems that NetEase has also seen it.
At this time, it is psychological warfare.
Both parties know that Universal Technology is raising prices, but both parties want to obtain the maximum benefit.
However, whether Huanyu Technology is raising prices or not, Allen will not admit it.
After thinking about it for a while,
Allen said with a smile: "I also see your company's sincerity, so I want to talk to your company. Besides, I don't want to see Huanyu Technology as a dominance. You know, this is not good for us Blizzard. Global operation. But if your company's sincerity is not enough, then we can only represent it to Huanyu Technology."
For Allen's reply, Ding Yingfeng cursed inwardly.
Of course they don't care about Huanyu Technology's price hike, anyway, it's not them who lose.
"Mr. Allen, what you said makes sense. Regardless of whether Universal Technology is raising the price, but they have their own 3D online games. In the future, when Universal Technology operates, the distribution of resources will inevitably be uneven. Even for their own online games , and possibly contain World of Warcraft."
This logic also makes sense.
Although he may not have imagined that the agent at Huanyu Technology would block it in the past.
But Allen's side can also consider that when the two sides compete, Universal Technology will definitely protect their Kyushu.
Because Kyushu is their core.
Agents are agents after all.
However, Allen is a super diplomat master, and still replied with a smile: "Even so, the strength of Huanyu Technology is obvious to all."
Ding Yingfeng heard what Allen meant.
The meaning here is very clear: "Even if Huanyu Technology curbs World of Warcraft and leaves it to them to operate, they also have the strength to surpass all other game companies, including NetEase."
"Mr. Allen, don't go around and make an offer."
In this way, Ding Yingfeng knew that there was no result.
Both of them knew what Huanyu Technology meant.
In the same way, the two also know what the other means.
If we keep talking like this, we won't be able to talk about a result next year.
Instead, it's better to get straight to the point.
The two parties are nothing more than one who wants a little more agency fee, and the other who wants to reduce it.
If both parties take a step back, then cooperation between the two parties will become.
"If Blizzard insists on a $200 million agency fee, then I'll just leave."
Ding Yingfeng said it very clearly.
"$190 million."
Rolling his eyes, Alan quoted his price.
He knows that he can no longer hang Netease's appetite.
If they hang up again, if they do leave, they can only find Huanyu Technology.
Of course, it is not impossible to find Huanyu Technology, but just like their globalization strategy, they don't like Huanyu Technology being the only one.
In the future, the Chinese game market will become larger and larger, and Blizzard has a bright future in the Chinese game market.
If Huanyu Technology becomes a giant like them, it will be really unfavorable for them to enter the Chinese market.
"190 million is too expensive, we can only give $100 million at most."
"$100 million is impossible, my reserve price is 180 million."
"Mr. Allen, you should see our sincerity, $120 million."
"Well, indeed you are very sincere, 170 million."
...
After negotiating the price, the two parties settled on the final figure.
150 million.
It is $50 million less than the $200 million reported by Huanyu Technology.
But compared to the original $7,400, it has doubled.
Moreover, both parties were afraid that the other party would go back on it, so they gave a deposit of 10 million US dollars on the spot.
A week later, the two parties formally signed an agency contract.
Blizzard's World of Warcraft is officially represented by NetEase, one of the three major game companies in China.
[The sky-high price, NetEase agent World of Warcraft. 】
[Blizzard World of Warcraft agency fee, $150 million. 】
[Big money, NetEase beats all competitors. 】
[World of Warcraft, a closed test will be launched soon. 】
Although it was swindled by Huanyu Technology.
But NetEase is not vegetarian.
In addition to being cheated this time, NetEase has also made the news of the sky-high proxy World of Warcraft the most popular topic recently.
World of Warcraft itself is very well-known, and now there is a sky-high price, and countless gamers have paid attention to it for the first time.
Such propaganda has also put a lot of pressure on Zou Tao of Universal Technology.
However, Huanyu Technology can become the first in the industry, that is not a blow.
In the face of the attack of the World of Warcraft topic, a series of topics related to Kyushu are also surging.
The first is a series of game screenshots about Kyushu.
These screenshots have been exposed by Blizzard before in World of Warcraft.
Compared with the delicate and perfect World of Warcraft, Kyushu is magnificent.
This is not to say that World of Warcraft is not atmospheric, but Huanyu Technology has a choice to PK with them.
Of course, it's nothing if it's just a screenshot of the game.
While Huanyu Technology exposed the screenshots of the game, they also updated the Kyushu series.
Where does the Kyushu series exist today? Jiangnan and the others have created them to this day.
In addition to being the Kyushu series, he is a huge world.
At the same time, he is also the world background of Kyushu OL's large-scale 3D games.
Unlike other game backgrounds.
Although the backgrounds of other games are also written, to be honest, the backgrounds of other games are mostly written by a few writers and stories, even if they have hired more powerful top writers, but they are also for the game service.
But Kyushu has the world structure first, and then the game.
Therefore, at the background level, the background of the Kyushu game world is more realistic than the background of a series of games.
However, Huanyu Technology's actions have always been a series of combos.
There are screenshots, yes, Huanyu Technology has also released songs of three major races.
Do you think the song is over?
Do not……
A few days later, the TV series "The Misty Record of Kyushu" hit the sky.
