Chapter 1233 Harsh Conditions
Monday, September 24.
Longyu Group headquarters.
While drinking coffee, Eric flipped through the online discussion about "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation".
Although it is just a DLC, the popularity of this DLC on the Internet is so high that it is difficult for Eric to ignore it and learn more or less.
Except for the new hero "Prison Suppressor" linked by GOG, this incident has nothing to do with ioi, but Eric still instinctively felt some panic and fear.
Because the more such things happen, the more powerful President Pei will be!
Finger Company and Longyu Group, so many people, are racking their brains for ioi trying to defeat GOG's countermeasures, but Mr. Pei didn't need to spend too much energy to resolve all the offensive one by one, and he even had spare energy in While launching the counterattack, do something else - like designing a DLC that is well-received.
The more Boss Pei is at ease, the more Eric feels that his strength is unfathomable and too powerful to defeat.
Of course, from another perspective, it may be precisely President Pei's achievements in other games that give GOG a powerful boost.
Initially in the international market, GOG was in a state of being completely suppressed by ioi because the hero's characteristics were too Chinese-style.
But soon, President Pei reversed the trend by acquiring Hurricane Comics and launching a series of new characters that fit the aesthetics of foreign players.
At this stage, both GOG and ioi already have huge user groups, and it is difficult to have a decisive influence just by buying a few IPs.
In this case, the original IP is crucial!
With the success of its other games, Tenda Group constantly uses GOG to link with other games to launch new heroes.
This is true whether it is the new hero "Lark" launched in conjunction with "Mission and Choice", or the new hero "Prisoner" launched in conjunction with "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation".
They not only guide the flow of new games through the popularity of GOG, but also guide GOG through the popularity of new games, or in other words, consolidate the player group of GOG.
This is very difficult for ioi to do.
Although there are many game makers making 3A masterpieces in the world, they are carefully holding their own ace IPs in the palm of their hands, and it is impossible to sell them out.
Even if Zhitou wants to buy it, it can only buy some very marginal copyrights. How can it be like GOG, when Tengda releases a new game, and links a new hero?
Moreover, these new heroes have very unique mechanics due to Pei's meticulous design of different gameplays.
For example, the skills of the new hero "Prison Suppressor" are in line with the novel combat mechanism of "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation", which enriches the gameplay and creates a great degree of topic discussion.
What's more, Mr. Pei's plan is not only a new hero, a new game, but also the related publicity plan and the linkage of various industries are all part of the plan.
This kind of fit is impossible to achieve by just buying IP.
This is the impact of a business wizard and talented designer on the situation...
All these status quo, although it will not cause any extremely well-known blow to ioi, but Eric can vaguely feel that the situation is getting worse bit by bit and unstoppable.
Eric was deeply concerned, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Zhao Xuming.
Eric took a document from his desk and handed it over: "As for the cooperation proposal put forward by President Pei, the headquarters has already replied. This is the condition they put forward."
Zhao Xuming reached out to take it and read it carefully.
Then, a rather surprised expression appeared on his face.
"This... what a harsh condition!"
Although Zhao Xuming is on the side of ioi, he still feels that the conditions given by the top management of Dayak Group are simply too harsh.
It can be called an unequal treaty!
On this document, the senior management of Dayak Group made very detailed regulations on this cooperation plan.
Scope of cooperation: All regional servers worldwide.
Cooperation method: GOG and ioi have added a new section in their respective game clients. After logging in, players can use this section to register an account for another game and bind the two accounts.
GOG parties are required to abide by the following terms:
Expose and publicize the activities of this section in a prominent position on the client and the homepage of the official website, and match with the striking logo of ioi;
For players who register and enter ioi, GOG needs to give rich rewards in the game, including but not limited to rare skins, avatar frames, limited expressions, etc.;
These rewards are not issued at one time, but should last long enough, at least two weeks. In addition, individual rewards must be collected by a small amount of consumption in ioi.
As for the terms that the ioi side needs to follow, it is rather vague.
It didn't say that GOG would be promoted on the client and the official website homepage, nor did it say what rewards would be given to players from ioi to GOG.
Obviously, the rewards are not going to be great, or even dispensable.
This clause is simple: we arrange each other's players to play with each other, but GOG will use great rewards to lure players to the ioi side, and there is a time limit, you can't just register and run, you must be real I've been playing for a while; on the ioi side, it's just doing it casually, and I can't blame me if no player has played GOG in the past.
Zhao Xuming shook his head frequently after reading the document.
"President Pei is not stupid, how could he accept such conditions."
"These three-year-olds can see that there is absolutely no sincerity in cooperation."
Eric nodded: "There is no sincerity, what do you think?"
"The headquarters is also very vigilant about Tengda. President Pei took the initiative to propose this kind of cooperation. In your proverb, it is 'the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken'. It will definitely not be a good thing."
"But if we refuse directly, it will appear that we are too timid to even raise conditions."
"So, simply put forward such a condition that the other party is absolutely impossible to agree to, and persuade him to dismiss him."
Zhao Xuming nodded: "Well, that's right."
"And if President Pei really agrees, we shouldn't lose."
It's like someone has a very cherished heirloom. Someone asks how much it is, and it seems a bit silly to say no to sell it. The best way is to directly quote a sky-high price that the other party can't afford.
For example, this thing is obviously only worth 10 million, and the direct quotation is 200 million.
If the other party retreats in spite of the difficulties, then it can be said that it is not that I will not sell it, but that you cannot afford the price. If you want to blame it, you are not sincere enough; and if the other party really wants to buy, you can also use the Lions University this time. Open your mouth and get a very high premium.
Eric was stunned for a moment: "Do you think Pei will always agree?"
Zhao Xuming shook his head: "I don't know, but who can say such a thing? No one knows how long Mr. Pei's brain circuit is."
Eric was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
"Although I am now empty and simply turned into a microphone, it's not a bad thing, at least I don't have to rack my brains to fight with President Pei."
"I'll send the document to President Pei. Whether he accepts it or not, that's his business."
Eric first sent an email to President Pei, and after waiting for a while, he made a phone call.
"Hello? President Pei, regarding the cooperation plan you mentioned last time, the headquarters has already given a reply, and the specific requirements have been sent to your mailbox."
"Hehe, the terms are a bit too many. If you don't think it's appropriate, then there's nothing you can do. After all, I can't control this matter, it's all decided by the headquarters company."
Eric preempted and blocked the possibility of bargaining.
However, after two seconds, Eric's smile froze on his face.
"What? Totally agree?!"
Eric looked at Zhao Xuming, who also looked at him with the same confused eyes.
They did think of the possibility that President Pei agreed, but it was mostly based on bargaining.
Unexpectedly, President Pei agreed without saying a word!
The time was so short that it made people wonder if he had read the specific terms of the plan carefully.
On the phone, President Pei's voice seemed to have a sense of relief: "Yes, I completely agree."
"When is the fastest time to start? I'll let them arrange it when the time is set."
President Pei agreed so simply, which made Eric a little panicked.
It doesn't feel right!
He hurriedly emphasized: "Mr. Pei, are you sure you have read the terms carefully? I suggest you take two minutes to take a closer look, so as to save our future cooperation from being unpleasant."
