Blackmail! This is naked blackmail!

Wang Zhidong's eyes were full of anger.

"Boss, just now, on a website in the United States that specializes in selling software, the price of Winzip for commercial use was announced, $1 billion!" said the technical director.

"What!" Wang Zhidong exclaimed.

That's perverted, isn't it?

Sell a billion dollars! That's a joke.

Indeed, a small piece of software, selling for $1 billion, is indeed a joke.

This is an exaggeration.

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

Although 1 billion dollars is not a lot of money in the United States today. Especially in the IT industry, in recent years, various mergers and acquisitions have emerged one after another. It's no surprise that tens of billions of dollars can be used at every turn.

But the problem is that you have a little-known little software that sells for $1 billion, which is not too exaggerated.

Especially before that, it was completely free.

If it is commercially available now, it will be $1 billion. Don't be so exaggerated!

Naturally, this is not clear from the United States, what is happening in China. It just feels too sudden and exaggerated.

However, even though everyone has talked about it and commented that it is not worth so much money, at least the outside world agrees with this price.

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, as the owner of WinZip, the price of $1 billion is not impossible.

People have that right. Even if a stone on the side of the road is put up for public auction for $1 billion, it is the right of others. As long as there is no suspicion of any fraud in between.

But at this moment, in this way, it is the general.

made Wang Zhidong a little unable to get off the stage.

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

"Theoretically, you have to be able to prove that it's really worth that much money to pay. "If no one cares, it's fine." ”

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

"Then we need to find a third party to value it and pay it out!" said the legal counsel, "Of course, all the costs in between, if we lose the case, we will have to bear it." Therefore, it is usually an international practice to deal with this kind of matter through consultation and peace talks!"

Doesn't that mean that you want to go to Jiang Yong?

Thinking that a few days ago, Jiang Yong came over and was chased away by a closed door by himself, and now he is looking for him by himself, isn't that sending him to the door to humiliate him! He won't go, he will definitely not go!

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

In this matter, the best choice is to negotiate peace.

As for saying that face is not faceless, this is really not important. It's the money that matters. Face or something, you can earn it back if you lose it.

On the contrary, the loss is real money. And the losses are so great.

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

The final decision is still in the hands of Wang Zhidong.

"It's a lot of it now on the website for sale, you should have its contact information, go talk to it!" Wang Zhidong looked at the marketing director and said.

The marketing director nodded.

Then log on to this website, which is the site that sells Plants vs. Zombies. Of course, there are a few more games on it these days, including even some games from EA.

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

Nowadays, many players will log on to these websites to see if there are any games on sale. Naturally, there are some game companies that see business opportunities.

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

However, at the same time, it also adds a lot of costs. For merchants, it is all about profit. Now that there is a better platform for digital gaming, they will naturally make the choice.

Except for a little platform commission, the rest is completely zero cost. As long as it is developed, it can be put up for sale. Players will pay to download it if they see it and are interested.

This is undoubtedly a very good way for game companies to sell.

Especially for many small companies, such a sales platform is very suitable for them. After all, they don't have such a big market and so much money to promote like those big companies.

Such a platform is a window of exposure for them, giving more players the opportunity to get in touch with their games.

So, it didn't take long for platformers to become more varied.

And because there are so many games, there are naturally more players. The number of players has increased, and those big game companies are not to be outdone, and they have also logged in to the platform to sell.

Because there are many big game company platforms, there are more players logging in. Naturally, this created a virtuous circle of becoming the most important online digital game sales platform in the United States.

Of course, it's not just about selling games, it's about a lot of software as well. can be put on it for sale.

It can be said that today, 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 give a little commission to the game platform, it's very simple. If a big game company gets one, then other big game companies of the same type will never let their own games log in.

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

This kind of thing will never happen. Therefore, this kind of third-party game platform, which has nothing to do with various game companies, is undoubtedly the best sales channel.

Of course, there are no competitors. Naturally, there is. However, Lisa Online, with the wave of "Plants vs. Zombies", has long seized the opportunity.

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

Because, the habit of players has determined the market orientation.

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

There's an old saying: there's no more terrible habit than a habit.

So, Lisa Online, there are no competitors. In particular, Lisa operates the website in a fair, open, and impartial manner, and treats both large and small companies equally. There's no discrimination because of a game developed by your small company. What are the preferential treatment for games developed by large companies.

Everything depends on the game itself, and the player decides the ranking.

In this case, it naturally makes it even more popular. The profit is also far beyond the original idea of Qin Feng to create this time.
