Chapter 171 Problem Contract Chapter 3 Update

The manager was a little surprised.

Is Zuo Zhen talking about Tetris?

Can this game generate more than ten million dollars in revenue?

In fact, this number is still relatively conservative.

Some people in later generations have estimated it.

If Tetris is sold normally, the copyright owner will receive at least 20 million US dollars in revenue every year.

This is the annual gain.

Even after more than thirty years, this game is still as popular as ever.

This is the most suitable game for all ages, and it is also one of the few games in the world that is at its peak right from the beginning.

Although this early game still had many gameplay flaws.

But after some simple adjustments, the gameplay of this game has become almost perfect.

For someone who can make a nearly perfect game from the very beginning, Pajitnov is quite impressive.

"..."

The manager was silent for a long time.

"Comrade Zuo Zhen, is everything you said true? Can this game bring in tens of millions of dollars in revenue?"

"Yes, that's why I said you were tricked by that European businessman. I have seen the popularity of this game with my own eyes."

At this moment, the entire Maozi country's external news channels are almost blocked, and it is already in a closed state.

In such a state, it is impossible for news related to video games to reach Mao Ziguo.

It is difficult for big news to enter this country. How can the news of video games, which is still a marginal industry, be paid attention to by people in Maozi Country?

So what Zuo Zhen said now shocked the manager in front of him very much.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.

If what Zuo Zhen said was true, then the $100,000 in income he had previously obtained from European businessmen was not earned.

But a loss.

What a huge loss!

Lost tens of millions of dollars.

He didn't think Zuo Zhen had any intention of lying to him.

This makes little sense.

The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.

Now he wished he could just pull the European over and question him properly.

but now……

"Comrade Zuo Zhen, I'm really sorry. I just learned about this news. If it weren't for you, I might still be in the dark. Thank you for informing me, but even so, I might not be able to sign with you. contract."

No matter how much dissatisfaction there is in my heart, the signing of the contract is already finalized.

Even if he wanted to regret it, he couldn't.

Breaking the contract is not something he can do.

He himself is very principled.

"No, don't jump to conclusions yet." Zuo Zhen said immediately.

"What's the meaning?"

"So I just said I want to see your contract, and if possible, I hope I can help you recover some losses."

The manager frowned slightly.

Want to read the contract and help yourself recover your losses?

How to recover? The contract is written in black and white.

What means can Zuo Zhen have to change the content in black and white?

But after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Zuo Zhen, please wait a moment. I will arrange for someone to get this contract for you."

No matter what Zuo Zhen said was right or not, at least Zuo Zhen had this intention.

He is willing to help himself recover his losses.

This made him have a great impression of Zuo Zhen.

As expected, they were the iron allies of the past.

Although he also knew that Zuo Zhen might have some intentions.

But if someone tells me the truth directly, it is much more sincere than those damn Europeans.

Soon the contract was delivered to the reception room.

The manager broke the seal of the contract and personally took it out and showed it to Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen immediately took it with both hands, and then looked at it seriously.

In fact, he didn't even need to look carefully.

Because he already knew there was something wrong with this contract.

This is the information he got from his previous life.

If there are no surprises, the contract in this parallel world should be no different from the contract in the previous life.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Zuo Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had confirmed something.

While Zuo Zhen was reading the contract, the manager was always a little worried.

He is not afraid that this matter will come to light and he will be blamed by his superiors.

He just feels that he has caused losses, that he has a heavy responsibility, and that he compares himself to this institution.

At the same time, I feel sorry for Pajitnov, the developer who developed Tetris.

What he worked so hard to create was finally sold at a low price by himself.

He was a little afraid to look into Pajitnov's eyes in the future.

So after Zuo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, he became a little anxious.

"Comrade Zuo Zhen, how are you? Is there anything wrong with this contract?"

Zuo Zhen deliberately showed a relieved smile: "To be honest, I almost despaired just now, but I read it carefully several times and finally determined that there should be some loopholes in this contract."

"What loophole?"

Say it quickly! Stop tempting people!

The manager was quite anxious.

But he still had to look very calm, which made him feel very aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, I still found a trace of a contract problem, and that's where the problem lies."

Zuo Zhen took the contract and pointed to a location above.

The manager looked immediately.

"Authorization Scope: Computer, what's wrong with this?"

"There's nothing wrong with the computer itself, but do you know where this European guy released the game?"

Zuo Zhen paused, and then immediately said: "He published it on the game console, not the computer. Can you understand?"

"Game console? What's the difference between this and a computer?"

"The difference is huge."

"Strictly speaking, a computer is a tool and a platform, while game consoles represent another platform. These are two conflicting options. If the contract is rigorous enough, Then every authorized platform must be clearly written.”

Listening to Zuo Zhen's explanation, the manager's eyes glowed with hope.

"In other words, this contract may be invalid?"

"That's not true. It's just that the contract itself is not rigorous, but the computer authorization probably didn't work."

"But you just said that this game seems to sell better on consoles?"

"Yes, sir, you have finally grasped the point. That means I still have a chance, so I hope to get the license for this game. Of course, I don't want the computer version, and I don't even want the arcade version. Who are you selling the arcade machine to?" All is fine, you just need to give me the license for the game console, mobile portable handheld console, and mobile phone."

Zuo Zhen finished speaking in one breath, and the manager in front of him seemed as relieved as Zuo Zhen just now.
