Chapter 172 Listen to His Opinion, Fourth Update

Zuo Zhen must be grateful that he had seen the Tetris-related copyright dispute before he traveled through time.

The story of this copyright dispute was later made into a live-action movie.

However, that movie had a plot that clearly glorified the United States, almost portraying Maozi in a very dark way, as if the whole thing was completely corrupted.

But the actual situation is still different.

It's definitely not as dark as it is portrayed in the movies.

This should also be considered a part of the United States’ future cultural influence strategy.

It's the same content that Zuo Zhen said to Lao Zhao before.

It seems that I can still use some of my past life experiences to bring convenience to myself in this life.

"So, can I sign a new contract with you now? What I can guarantee you is that you can get very generous returns for a long time to come."

"A long time in the future? Not immediately?"

"Of course not. The sales of games also take time. You won't be able to make so much money right away. What I want to propose is a sharing contract. For every game sold, you will get a share of one dollar. At the same time, you can also obtain authorization funds of US$100,000 from different authorizations, how about that?”

"That... doesn't sound like much."

"But the game has now sold millions of copies abroad."

"..."

"Okay, let's sign it like this. What authorization do you need?"

"The rights to game consoles, handheld consoles, and all future mobile portable devices! And I can give you three hundred thousand dollars directly now."

Zuo Zhen said without hesitation.

These three copyrights are the most important.

The copyright of the arcade machine can also be collected, but the thing itself is not valuable, and there is not much need to invest additional funds for it.

300,000 US dollars were received on the spot, and there would be long-term profits to follow.

This is still a pretty good return.

According to Zuo Zhen, if the game sells one million copies in the future, it will earn one million US dollars in net income.

This is much better than before.

They had only been bought out for $100,000 before.

"Okay, then we can sign the contract now."

Managers didn’t hesitate.

If the person standing in front of him was not Zuo Zhen, but a person from a European and American capital country, it would be difficult for him to make a decision on the spot.

But the person in front of him was Zuo Zhen from China.

Just Zuozhen's identity is enough to prevent him from getting into too much trouble.

If he could choose, he would definitely choose a partner like Zuo Zhen first.

The manager immediately ordered people to prepare a new contract.

This time, he defined all the equipment in great detail and clarity.

A computer is a product that can be programmed and has specific equipment such as a keyboard and mouse.

A game console is a device that can be interacted with using a game controller.

Handheld console...

When it came to the handheld console, the manager was a little confused about how to define it. After all, he had never been exposed to this thing before.

Zuo Zhen gave a hint.

A handheld console is a device that has the basic functions of an electronic game console and can play games anytime, anywhere through a handheld screen.

This device has the buttons that a game console should have.

As for mobile portable entertainment devices, they are mobile entertainment products with more complex functions.

A collection of complex functions that can be used to listen to music, watch movies, read novels, browse the web, and more on your palm.

When Zuo Zhen talked about this mobile entertainment device, the manager was stunned for a moment.

He had never heard of such a device before.

I don’t even know how such a device was created.

In fact, such a device has not yet been born.

This is a later product, that is, things like smartphones or tablets.

However, Zuo Zhen now takes this copyright into his own hands in advance, intending to pave the way for the future.

There are three authorized platform types in total, and 300,000 US dollars can be transferred on the spot.

Zuo Zhen now has his own overseas account.

There are already millions of dollars of funds in overseas accounts, silently waiting for the owner to call them at any time.

This transfer process will be relatively lengthy.

But the manager isn't worried.

He believed in Zuo Zhen's character.

Just from the fact that Zuo Zhen is willing to remind himself and tell himself that Tetris actually has greater value, Zuo Zhen is an honest enough young man.

Such young people are rare!

The manager couldn't help but sigh.

If his own children were like this, he would be very pleased.

"By the way, besides coming here to sign this contract, I actually have another little idea."

"What?"

After the contract was signed, the manager's favorability towards Zuo Zhen was considered to be full.

He had no reservations about Zuo Zhen.

If Zuo Zhen is also interested in other products of their computer science center, he will be happy to connect them.

And Zuo Zhen didn’t just come with funds and cooperation.

Zuo Zhen also took the initiative to tell him some novel knowledge about computer programming.

Those are some experiences summarized by people in later generations. Now that Zuo Zhen has taken them out in advance, it will still be a bit shocking.

If we can build a good relationship with such people, even if Mao Ziguo gradually declines in the future, their computer science center will still be very stable.

After all, there is a Tetris that brings profits all year round.

"I want to meet the creator of Tetris. At the same time, I also hope to have the opportunity to invite him to come to China to help me and give me a job. Of course, this needs to be discussed."

The manager was slightly startled.

Is this someone coming?

But it doesn't seem to matter now.

He nodded slightly: "Of course there is no problem. In fact, as a creator, he also has the right to decide the authorization of his own works, but it will be more complicated..."

Zuo Zhen said: "I understand, I understand, so we don't need to get too entangled in this matter. I just simply respect the man who created Tetris, and I think I would like to give him a bigger one if I can." development stage.”

"Do you want to go to China's development stage? I heard that China seems to be opening up more and more now."

"Yes, we still have a lot of potential there, how about it? Are you interested in following me?"

"Haha, I'll forget it. I'm too old and don't like to mess with it anymore. As for Pajitnov himself...it still depends on his opinion."

"no problem."

The manager in front of me is obviously a very reasonable person.

And he seemed to have a sense of indebtedness to Pajitnov.

So there wasn't much resistance when Zuo Zhen proposed to take Pajitnov away.
