Chapter 169: Don't Play anymore
After the announcement of Yubi's new policy, the CQ department and the Lianzhong department were churning, and Cheng Ran heard it at first glance, although it was not as surprised as everyone within the company, but he still felt surprised.
In fact, the union of Yubi and Puzheng Company behind Sesame Open Door happened in the previous life, but it was a few years after this point, but now it is in advance, in addition to the factor of his butterfly flapping its wings, the two parties finally moved towards union, and it also shows in disguise that history is actually the embodiment of the law of objective things.
In the era of piracy everywhere, Sesame can open the door and shout "buy a genuine copy for 10 yuan", with a low price that is almost the same as piracy, and a more stable quality than piracy, it is the existence of a unique brand in all kinds of small disc sales points and software boxes of small stalls.
Not only is its vitality extremely vigorous, but also because its channel sinking penetration is very strong, ordinary software vendors are beyond the reach of the dust, from the software counters of Xinhua bookstores in the city to the computer repair shops in counties and towns, and there are traces of it everywhere.
So much so that it once became the uncrowned king of China's household software distribution companies, and even once advertised in CCTV, Dragon TV and other TV media, and was very well-known. Even later, he filed a lawsuit against Boss Ma on the issue of Alibaba's trademark ownership.
At the beginning, some game manufacturers did license some games to Puzheng Company for distribution and sale, but in fact, there is no shortage of some unlicensed latest game software under their trademarks, or software that is still sold after the license expires, and no one can prove that when piracy is rampant, pirated sesame is really sesame open. Therefore, this software vendor can also be called the "pseudo-genuine" that is most like the genuine.
Its founder, Yao Zengqi, was known as a "prodigy", was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 15, and became the first batch of doctors at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 25. It was only in later generations that tax evasion was involved in the Xiamen smuggling case, but this tax evasion was meaningful, and in order to evade 800,000 taxes, 6 million bribes were spent on state tax personnel.
Yubi is the leader of the genuine distribution channel, and Sesame is the uncrowned king of the "pseudo-genuine" distribution channel, and the latter has a larger network than the former.
Of course, in the future, if it weren't for the growing development of the Internet in China that compressed the space for Yubi to publish games, Yubi would not have lowered its position to make this decision, selling many backlogs of games, and struggling to maintain operations.
And the reason why the current Yubi is willing to cooperate with the "pseudo-genuine" Sesame Open Door shows that because of the shock adjustment of the top management of Yubi, coupled with the popularity of their CQ spiritual game, the top level of Yubi China has changed its strategy.
Cheng Ran thought about it, this could mean ...... Yubi wants to make an online game.
It's really, running to intervene.
They may make their own online game, or represent a popular game in Europe and North America, so they need to get a bigger channel in China at a smaller cost, so what can be more bloodless than announcing a channel to cooperate with Sesame?
When he came to CQ's building, Cheng Ran was faced with a group of CQ executives with dignified faces, and even Cheng Qi and Ren Qi came over when they heard the news, and when they asked, Cheng Qi said that Li Mingshi called him to come over and discuss together.
Cheng Ran knew that on the one hand, CQ's virtual community had leveraged the power of Lianzhong, and on the other hand, Lianzhong was also actively pursuing a profit route.
Li Mingshi, Zhao Qing, Lin Xiaosong, Xu Zhen, Chen Yuzhong, Cheng Qi, Ren Qi. Everyone gathered together and began to deal with the news as an opponent for the first time CQ.
"Let's get started. Cheng Ran nodded to everyone.
Li Mingshi began to explain the situation, "The person who came to Yubi is a big man in the distribution department, called Lu Ying, the assistant of the French president, this time their French boss managed the production department in one fell swoop, so Yubi made an internal adjustment, and Liu Bo was dug up, so now Yubi knows more about our situation...... She knows that gaming is our biggest source of revenue, if not the only one at the moment......"
Li Mingshi's expression was very ugly, and someone in the team that made the game at hand actually dug a corner for Yubi.
Lin Xiaosong pierced the ten fingers of his palms on the wrong stack on the table from the beginning, and his thumbs picked each other, and at this time he spoke heavily, "The problem is on my side, because the matter with Teacher Zhang has been on Huazhang's side recently, so CQ here is my mistake, the girl named Zhang Rong was recruited by me, in less than three months, originally I just arranged for her to be the front desk, and at the same time take care of the company's documents, and the spiritual domain needs personnel on the line, thinking about exercising, I transferred her to the docking with the Yubi channel...... Unexpectedly, she matched people and pushed out Liu Bo from the second group of the project. Now that the people are gone, it's my responsibility to neglect the work here. ”
Xu Zhen and Chen Yuzhong both smiled bitterly, and Xu Zhen, who had a relatively straight personality, said, "Lao Lin, I can't blame you...... Blame me for the tricks I was asking you to hire a nice front desk and boost the morale of a bunch of bachelors...... As a result, Liu Bo's boy, what is it, don't let me see him again, or I'll teach him how to behave!"
Xu Zhen is good at everything, but he is that mouth, and he often exports dirty in the company, so that he is an alternative in CQ company. At this time, it is estimated that the more I think about it, the more I can't get over it, and the foul language on my lips is a big scolding. so that everyone present will interrupt him.
Everyone is sharing the responsibility, although the person in charge of channel communication was shaken by Yubi's side, and then poached a technology from everyone's hands, which still has an impact on CQ's morale.
Cheng Ran didn't seem to care much about these, and said to Li Mingshi, "What did the people of Yubi tell you?" ”
"They are very interested in the technological engines used in our Spirit Realm, but Liu Bo is not that high-level, otherwise she probably wouldn't talk to me. The overall intention is to hijack us with channels, and they are even willing to sell channels for free, wanting to take 30% of CQ. It has the right to participate in the decision-making and production of the spirit game. ”
In fact, when the representative of Yubi came to talk to him, he was polite and polite, with a posture of win-win cooperation, but in fact, there was a needle hidden in the cotton, and it was inevitable from beginning to end, they were stuck in the neck of CQ's only capital entrance, and even the only channel.
Transfer channels, and because it is sold through channels first and then return to the account, in the future, Yubi can completely do not share this part of the account, and can even return the payment to CQ in the form of monthly settlement, so as to obtain CQ's shares.
Li Mingshi asked one more question at the time, and that's it. Yubi thought that Li Mingshi didn't think it was enough. Therefore, one more sentence can also be invested in the acquisition. The specific details can be discussed later, but in the case of capital contribution, the founder of CQ must give up a number of corresponding rights in accordance with the rules of capital contribution.
Li Mingshi asked what if we thought these plans were not feasible, and the assistant of Yubi smiled and said that the company has company regulations, and Mr. Li should not embarrass me.
In fact, it is implying that if we do not agree with these plans and do not agree to accept control, then it is likely that this matter will break down. If we don't want to make a fuss, then we have to passively accept higher channel costs. And this fee is as high as 70 percent. I calculated that in this way, a large part of the revenue from the Spiritual Realm game would be plucked. Fortunately, Liu Bo has not been in the company for a long time, and he has only been involved in the spiritual domain project, which makes Yubi not know that although we have a lot of pressure on the growth of the server, we may not have to wait for the rice to be cooked. We've got our back. ”
Li Mingshi looked at Cheng Ran.
At this time, the bottom of my heart is no less than a punch. The digging of the technician of the spiritual domain project in hand allowed Yubi to grasp the initiative in negotiations. I even knew about their situation, but in fact, this was indeed the weakness of CQ, Liu Bo was recruited by him for game development, and his original ambition was to develop games and join the production of large-scale games. In this regard, Yubi has a natural attraction and advantages, and what is CQ? To put it bluntly, the development of game business is still a bit unprofessional. In the eyes of serious game practitioners, of course, Yubi is more attractive, so a little bit of a price that people can't refuse, with the prestige of a well-known company in the industry, of course, pulled people away.
The competition between companies and companies sometimes lies in the attraction of talent.
This is a profound lesson that Li Mingshi has felt. Yubi can be said to have made a deep impression on him.
On the other hand, Li Mingshi also feels the shame from the bottom of his heart, as the "Li Daxia" in the technical world, Li Mingshi is also a god-level existence, and the spiritual game has made him even more famous recently. This made Li Mingshi feel a rare sense of shame and anger.
This feeling of being pinched by someone's neck is really uncomfortable.
Cheng Ran seemed to see the darkness in Li Mingshi's eyes at this time, he stretched out his hand, patted Li Mingshi's shoulder sitting next to him, and said, "Remember this feeling, and remember these things that happened, it won't be smooth sailing, we will also go through a lot of such situations, being poached, being betrayed, and maybe even the wave we thought would toss us in turn...... But it doesn't matter. I've always felt that, just like I did a question, it's not a terrible thing to get it wrong, but the most important thing is to see my shortcomings and find out what I haven't done well. So the mistake allows us to find a way to make up for it. ”
"It's good to make adjustments in time. ”
Lin Xiaosong nodded, "In the future, I will formulate some detailed rules for internal management to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again." ”
Xu Zhen scratched his head, "Then what do you say next? Don't retaliate, or Xiao Cheng will always say something, I won't take someone to beat Liu Bo up!"
There is a big one, you give the order, I will go and get the people immediately.
Of course, everyone can't take Xu Zhen's words seriously, and they must hold him down and won't let him really move like this. However, he still has a good saying.
What's next?
Cheng Ran said, "It's impossible to give them shares, even if the channel is free to use, and it can't give us money." I may be able to talk about it well, but this kind of falling into the well is uncomfortable. Then, as they say, the channel fee is high......"
The people were stunned and speechless.
I wonder if Cheng Ran has no concept or what? The first sentence is still like that, like a general who defends the territory, why did the latter sentence betray the country to seek glory?
The architecture that everyone has worked so hard to make, countless sleepless tests, constant modifications to user feedback and bugs, and all kinds of user scolding, the results made are just casually taken to people to get a layer of wool?
I'm sorry for the nights you have stayed up and the scoldings you have suffered.
When everyone's faces were solemn, Cheng Ran paused.
"We don't play with them anymore." ”
