Chapter 961: Is Face Important?

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

Blackmail! This is naked blackmail!

Wang Zhidong's eyes were filled with anger.

"Boss, just now, the commercial price of winzip was announced on a website in the United States that specializes in selling software, which is US$1 billion!" The technical director hurried over to report.

"What!" Wang Zhidong exclaimed.

This is too perverted.

Sold for $1 billion! This is just a joke.

Indeed, it is indeed a joke to sell a small software for 1 billion US dollars.

This is an exaggeration.

This not only made Wang Zhidong feel exaggerated, but also shocked the American IT community.

Although 1 billion US dollars is not a big number in the United States today. Especially in the IT industry, various mergers and acquisitions have emerged in recent years. It’s no wonder that tens of billions of dollars are easily available.

But the question is, if a little-known piece of software sells for US$1 billion, is this too exaggerated?

Especially before this, it was completely free.

Now for commercial use, it would be US$1 billion. Don't be so exaggerated!

Naturally, the United States does not know what happened on the Chinese side. It just felt like it was too sudden and too exaggerated.

But even though everyone is talking about it and commenting that it is not worth so much money, at least the outside world also recognizes the pricing.

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, as the owner of winzip, it is not impossible to price it at US$1 billion.

People have this right. Even if a stone on the roadside is put up for public auction for US$1 billion, that is everyone's right. As long as there is no fraud involved.

But now, in this way, he is a general.

Wang Zhidong was a bit unable to step down.

"Do we really have to pay so much money?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"Theoretically, it must be proven that it is really worth that much money before it needs to be paid," the legal adviser said. "If no one cares about it, that's no problem."

"Then what should we do if no one cares?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"Then we need to find a third party to evaluate it and then pay compensation!" said the legal consultant. "Of course, all the expenses involved will be borne by us if we lose the lawsuit in the end. Therefore, usually international practice is to deal with this All matters must be negotiated and negotiated!”

Negotiate peace talks? Doesn't that mean he wants to find Jiang Yong?

Thinking of a few days ago, when Jiang Yong came over and was turned away by me, and now I went to find him, wouldn't that be a humiliation for him? He won't go, absolutely not!

The legal advisor looked at the indignant Wang Zhidong and opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.

In this matter, the best option is to negotiate.

As for the talk of losing face, that really doesn’t matter. What matters is money. If you lose face, you can still earn it back.

On the contrary, this loss is real money. And the loss was so huge.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to say anything to Wang Zhidong at this time. You talk too much and don’t like to listen. He is a legal advisor only, not a business advisor.

The final decision lies with Wang Zhidong.

"There are many of them listed for sale on the website now. There should be their contact information, go and talk to them!" Wang Zhidong looked at the marketing director and said.

The marketing director nodded.

Then log in to this website, which is the website that sells "Plants vs. Zombies". Of course, there are now more games on it, including some from ea.

Because of the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies", this website that specializes in selling digital games has also become popular.

Nowadays, many players will log in to these websites to see if there are any games for sale. Naturally, some game companies have seen business opportunities.

Simply selling games in physical stores can indeed give players a more intuitive understanding.

However, it also adds a lot of costs. For merchants,

It's all about profit. Now that there is a better digital gaming platform, they will naturally choose it.

Except for a small platform commission, the rest is completely zero cost. As long as it is developed, it can be put on the market for sale. When players see it, they will pay to download it if they are interested.

For game companies, this is undoubtedly a very good sales method.

Especially for many small companies, this kind of sales platform is very suitable for them. After all, they don’t have such a big market and huge funds for publicity like those big companies.

Such a platform is an exposure window for them, giving them the opportunity to expose more players to their games.

Therefore, platform games soon became diverse.

And because there are many games, there are naturally more players. There are more players, and the big game companies are not to be outdone, and they have also logged on to the platform to sell.

Because there are many big game company platforms, there are more players logging in. Naturally, this formed a virtuous cycle and became the most important online digital game sales platform in the United States.

Of course, it's not just games that are sold, but a lot of software as well. They can all be put on it for sale.

It can be said that this online digital software sales platform called Lisa Online Platform is currently the most well-known sales platform in the world.

As for why those big game companies don’t do this and would rather pay a small commission to the game platform, it’s very simple. If a major game company creates one, other large game companies of the same type will never allow their own games to be logged in.

After all, if you want to log in to a game platform created by a competitor, you will inevitably suffer some discrimination and even weakening of the rules.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. Therefore, this third-party game platform, which has nothing to do with game companies, is undoubtedly the best sales channel.

Of course, there are no competitors. Of course there is. However, Lisa Online, relying on the wave of "Plants vs. Zombies", has already taken the lead.

In the Internet era, once you seize the opportunity, it will be difficult for latecomers to surpass you.

Because the players' habits have determined the market orientation.

Everyone has a habit in life, and it is difficult to change a habit that has been formed.

There is an old saying: There is nothing more terrible than a habit.

So, Lisa is online, no competition. In particular, Lisa runs the website in a fair, open and impartial manner, treating games from large companies and games from small companies equally. There will be no discrimination based on the games developed by your small company. What preferential treatment are there for games developed by large companies?

Everything depends on the game itself to speak, and the ranking is determined by the players.

In this case, it naturally makes it more popular. The profit far exceeds Qin Feng’s original idea when he founded it.
