"Fifteen for fifteen?"

This time it was Brother Li's turn to laugh.

"Xiaoyuan, it's not that my brother is stingy, but this time you are a little too greedy. I'll admit that your faraway games have a lot of potential, and the two games you're working on now are also excellent, but Xiaoyuan, you're putting your faraway games on the same level as Blizzard. You make the same valuation of a new company as a company that is already internationally famous, Xiaoyuan, you Brother Li and I are not stupid enough to do that. ”

I have to say that Brother Xiao Li was laughed at angrily.

Zhou Fangyuan's proposal was tantamount to underestimating him, and it could even be said to be insulting him.

"Brother Li, do you really think so?"

Zhou Fangyuan didn't rush to defend himself, but looked at the other party very seriously.

"From the time you know me to now, tell me, when did I ever be a fool for you? I invited you to join Blizzard, and you also saw that Blizzard has this potential and value. I invite you to do this contest together, and as you can see, this contest has a lot to offer. Do you think I'm going to deliberately spoil the relationship between the two of us because of some small shares?"

Brother Xiao Li also looked at Zhou Fangyuan and did not speak.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Zhou Fangyuan was the first to speak.

"I'll give you an analysis of Blizzard. ”

He suddenly turned to Blizzard itself.

"The strength of Blizzard lies in their dedication and serious mentality in making games, and there are not many companies that can do it for ten years, and Blizzard has been able to hold on for so long and have always advocated providing players with fun games, which is commendable. Its achievements today are inseparable from this concept. But Brother Li, don't forget, focus, seriousness, and hard work...... It all takes time and effort, and Blizzard's size is here, which means that it can support the development of up to three games at the same time, and once this limit is exceeded, Blizzard will become very stressed, and it is inevitable to take care of one or the other. And Blizzard's development strategy also determined that they could not afford to fail multiple times.

The previous game market, including the European and American markets, was in its infancy. There are few games and few high-quality products, which means that any game made with heart, as long as there are no big problems, can be recognized by the market. But now that the game industry is growing and growing, a lot of capital will soon pour into it, and there will inevitably be a variety of games in the market in the future, and who can guarantee that their games will always be loved by players?

If it is other companies, they have the support of a large consortium behind them, of course, they can develop multiple lines at the same time, fail one and then open another, and fail several times in a row will not hurt the muscles and bones. But Blizzard is different, unless we are willing to keep pumping money into them for them to splurge, Blizzard's R&D progress will only stay on the same level forever, it may be reduced, but it will definitely not improve - unless they are willing to change their original intentions.

But once the original intention changes, Blizzard is not Blizzard.

This point was decided from the beginning of the creation of this company, the creator determined the company's temperament, Blizzard's temperament is slow work and meticulous work, they can't work fast, can't do rough work, this is Blizzard's biggest advantage and biggest drawback.

But the distant game is different, now the distant game has two different teams, and I myself, never tend to be absolutely refined or absolutely shoddy, which means that the remote game can be developed slowly, or we can spread our hooves and chase wildly, we can completely follow the market. Coupled with our huge domestic market and the scarcity of game companies...... Brother Li, I just want to tell you that the asking price between me and you is definitely not a sky-high asking price, but I am full of confidence in my company and my company's games, and I believe that it will not be long before the profitability of distant games will surpass Blizzard.

Of course, you won't believe it, so let's make a bet. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile on his face.

He does have a lot of faith in Far Away Games, so if he were asked to trade a large amount of Far Games shares for a small amount of Blizzard shares, he wouldn't agree. But he still has to bless Blizzard's shares, because his ultimate goal is to fully control Blizzard, not only to spend money to buy, but also to accept the share exchange.

But at the same time, it is absolutely impossible for Brother Li to agree that he will buy the shares that cost them hundreds of millions of dollars at a price close to that of cabbage, so Zhou Fangyuan said so much for two purposes.

First of all, let Xiao Li realize the difference in nature and the different potential of the two companies, and enhance the status of distant games in each other's hearts. Of course, just a few words can't have a miraculous effect, so the second purpose comes, and that is the VAM agreement.

Let Brother Xiao Li take the initiative to enter the hub and agree to the VAM agreement proposed by Zhou Fangyuan.

Zhou Fangyuan's thoughts, of course Brother Li could see it clearly, but although he could see it clearly, he was still interested. That's right, with his understanding of Zhou Fangyuan, although he is smart, he will definitely not lose money on the big festival, and as a partner, he will definitely not pit himself. So he really has so much confidence in his company? Believe that his company will definitely be able to defeat Blizzard? You must know that Blizzard is now a world-famous big company, why does he think that Yuanfang Games will definitely be able to defeat Blizzard?

"Okay, how are you going to bet. ”

Brother Li is really interested.

"As much as I'd love to compare the number of user registrations, it doesn't seem to be desirable right now. Because Blizzard's games can enter our Huaxia at will, and it is more troublesome for Huaxia's games to enter other countries, so I still have to use Blizzard's mature Battle.net system after all.

Well, taking the European and American markets as an example, Diablo II was launched at the beginning of this year, and it didn't take long to sell 2.5 million units. Let's use the newly developed Plants vs. Zombies of the distant network to compare, the other party is a large-scale stand-alone game, and we are just a small game, while borrowing the Battle.net platform, I will let them divide a special third-party area to separate Plants vs. Zombies from 'Blizzard'. Speaking from the data on Battle.net, if we can match Diablo II in sales this year, will it prove that my company has a lot of potential?"

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

This bet is actually quite unfair, he only talks about sales, but not the influence of both parties.

You must know that the name of Blizzard represents boutique, and as long as you carry this name, you can attract a large number of players to enter. "Plant" borrows the Battle.net platform, even if it is not related to Blizzard, since it is on this platform, it will naturally be beautified by Blizzard's name, players sometimes don't care so much, they trust Blizzard, they will trust everything about Blizzard, and now Blizzard has launched such a small game, even if it is developed by a third party, but everyone will think: Look, it can be recognized by Blizzard!

Will the sales be bad then?

And what's the use of sales alone? Companies look at market capitalization, all the attributes that increase their value. The success of a game does not mean anything, Blizzard has been successful with so many games in a row, no matter how awesome the game is, even if "Plant" is a hit, it cannot be said that the distance will definitely be on an equal footing with Blizzard.

However, Brother Xiao Li doesn't insist now, he said that before, but he just felt that the gap between the two sides was really too big, and Zhou Fangyuan wanted to replace it at an equal price, he definitely couldn't accept it. After all, the two games of Far Away Games have not yet been listed, and a game company that has not even launched a game has the qualifications to exchange shares with Blizzard?

But if the distant game can really make some weather, then even if the gap between the two sides is still very large, Brother Xiao Li can accept the equivalent replacement.

The reason is simple, because he doesn't care about the money at all, he cares about the results of his investment.

Blizzard is like this, it itself has stood in the top few of the global game industry, no matter how much it improves, the space is quite limited. However, the future of the game is still very bright, it is just getting started, if you can get a stake when you are still very young, and then watch the other party continue to grow, this kind of satisfaction is not comparable to ordinary investment.

He will definitely suffer a loss if he replaces it at the same price, but he doesn't care about this money, he cares more about the sense of success.

"Okay, just according to what you said, Xiaoyuan, if you really want to prove that your distant game has this potential, you can do it, if you can really do it, if you don't say it, the equivalent replacement will be the equivalent replacement!"

Brother Xiao Li patted his chest and said boldly.
