Chapter 306: Press Conference
The plagiarism of Dandantang quickly spread throughout the company. No matter how calm Ling Feng is, this matter still has a lot of impact on the company. Everyone was indignant, uncomfortable, and felt as disgusting as eating flies.
But fortunately, the technical department finally got the evidence of the other party's plagiarism, and Mr. Shen also returned with a full load and officially submitted a lawsuit to the court.
The press conference came as scheduled.
The venue was crowded with well-known domestic media, and everyone wanted to see what kind of attitude this newly rising game company should take to meet this plagiarized storm.
On the central stage of the venue, Su Yanming sat in the middle as the vice president and spokesman, with Song Tianjun and Shen Xiu on both sides, and two notaries sitting on the very edge. And the protagonist of this big drama, Ling Feng, was mixed in the crowd of reporters in the audience.
After everyone sat down, Su Yanming patted the topic gently.
"Everyone, be quiet...... I am Su Yanming, the vice president of the player company, and I am also the host of this press conference...... The purpose of our press conference this time, I think everyone here has already understood a little, I won't talk nonsense here, I would like to invite Shen Xiu and lawyer Shen to speak. ”
Shen Xiu naturally took over the topic.
"Hello everyone, I am the legal counsel of the player company, Shen Xiu...... For the long-established network company's recent launch of "Crazy Bullet Hall". This game not only plagiarized our company's bullet hall in many aspects such as gameplay, graphics, values, and character images, but we have taken conclusive evidence for this and formally submitted a lawsuit application to the court...... Here, our company calls on industry peers, infringement is absolutely intolerable, it is more despicable than private servers and plug-ins, no matter which company our company is infringed by in the future, we will fight with it to the end, never back down, and safeguard the interests of creators. ”
As soon as the words ended, the reporters were eager to ask questions. Shen Xiu randomly selected a female reporter.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, as far as I know, it is difficult to distinguish this kind of game infringement case in a short period of time, it is not only difficult to adduce evidence, but also more difficult to adjudicate, I wonder if your company really has the determination to persevere? After all, such a case is not a trivial matter for a new company. ”
"This beauty is very good, and it is precisely because it is not a small matter that we pay more attention to it. To be honest, this plagiarism incident did shock us, but no matter how hard it was, we will keep going until we win the case. Because we always believe that justice is on the side of the original. Su Yanming took the microphone and said.
"Thanks for the answer. ”
......
After answering a few sharp questions one after another, Su Yanming was still unhurried, and the rhythm was always firmly controlled by him. Ling Feng sat in the audience and nodded with satisfaction: It seems that during this time, he has worked hard.
"We will ask questions about infringement here, and after the press conference, we will reserve time for everyone to ask questions. Su Yanming made a stop gesture, and then pointed to the big screen behind him, "Now please enjoy, the player company is about to launch an epoch-making work, LOL." ”
As the music played, the lights dimmed and the big screen played a beautiful game trailer.
For this short few minutes, all the employees of the company worked overtime and it took a month to complete the production...... Fortunately, everyone's efforts were not in vain. All the reporters without exception had surprise written on their faces, and the urgent desire in their eyes announced how successful the video production was. After a while, everyone took out their camera equipment to record.
It wasn't until the lights came on again that everyone reluctantly put down the shooting equipment in their hands.
"How is it? Are you looking forward to this new multiplayer online battle arena game?" asked Song Tianjun as he looked at the reporters in the audience.
"Expect!" was so unanimous in everyone's answer.
"I hope you're not flattering us. Su Yanming suddenly laughed, "However, I am personally very satisfied with everyone's affirmative answer...... I'm announcing that in the first week of the game's official open beta, all Internet cafes that join the Foundation Project will be free to play!"
The Internet café is free to play for a week plan, which is jaw-dropping!
None of the reporters here thought that a small company would dare to vigorously promote the game in a free format, and I am afraid that this news will boil again on the Internet.
Seeing that everyone hadn't reacted yet, Su Yanming continued: "Why don't I play a little game with everyone...... Let's guess, after our game is officially launched, how long will a similar work appear in the domestic market, and the media that guesses correctly will be rewarded!"
As soon as the small bet came out, everyone burst into laughter. Everyone thought that Su Yanming was using humor to ridicule the infringement of Dantang just now, and did not take his words seriously.
"The bonus is 1 million in cash!" Su Yanming coughed and deliberately accentuated his tone.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their eyes stared at Su Yanming, who had a serious face. This also includes Song Tianjun on stage.
"How much is it? Mr. Su, you're right!"
"Mr. Su, you mean what you say, don't you joke with us anymore?"
"I didn't hear it clearly just now, can you trouble Mr. Su and can you say it again?"
......
Everyone, you say a word to me, and you are so chaotic that you can't hear what they are saying at all.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, I repeat. Su Yanming smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, "Everyone here is a well-known domestic media, and I am here to make a bet with all the media on behalf of the player company...... As long as someone guesses correctly, the same type of game will appear in the domestic market in the future, regardless of whether it is plagiarized or not, as long as it starts public beta and successfully operates, we will donate 1 million cash to his media company free of charge...... As for whether this bet is true and valid, please don't worry, we have professional lawyers and notaries on site to ensure that everything I say is true and there is no joke...... There is also the signed document of our President Ling, you can rest assured that we will not default on the debt. ”
After listening to this, all the reporters gasped and looked at each other. It seems that the player company is planning to play for real this time!
Just as everyone was thinking, Ling Feng stood up and asked Su Yanming loudly.
"Mr. Su, this matter shouldn't be as simple as you say, right? Otherwise, the 1 million cash would be too easy, right? There are so many media here, and every one of them says a number, and there is always one who can guess correctly...... Isn't that right?"
After Ling Feng's reminder, everyone immediately reflected.
"yes! He's right, it can't be that simple!"
"Yes, the sky will never drop pies for no reason, it's not good, there's fraud in this!"
"It's just that the simpler it seems, the more complex the reasons behind it!"
......
Seeing Ling Feng open his mouth to remind everyone, Su Yanming was stunned for a moment, but he still reacted quickly, squinting and laughing.
"This reporter is right! I don't know which media you are from!"
Su Yanming's question was also everyone's question, and then everyone's eyes looked at Ling Feng.
"Mr. Su, I am the person in charge of 'attitude', and the concept of our media is: there is an attitude, but also temperature!"
"Oh?" Su Yanming deliberately lengthened his tone, and silently repeated in his heart, there is an attitude, and the sentence must also be warm. "Yes, but I haven't heard of your media!"
The others also looked at Ling Feng with the same doubts, and silently thought in their hearts: Why haven't I heard of this media?
"That's because we just signed up a while ago, so it's normal for people not to know. Ling Feng was neither humble nor arrogant.
The duo's double reed instantly made all the media remember the 'attitude' of this company...... In the end, after everyone knew the truth, it suddenly dawned on everyone that this person named Ling Feng was really good at doing business, and he was simply a plan!
"Okay, 'attitude' is it? I remember you as a medium. After Su Yanming finished speaking, he pulled the topic back with a smile, "Actually, this bet is very simple, and it is not as complicated as everyone thinks." As long as you are willing to make a front-page headline for our new game for a month, and add a job advertisement by the way, you can participate in this gambling contract...... How's that going? Isn't it a good deal?"
Everyone looked embarrassed: What is a good deal? Is it good to be a white wolf with empty gloves? Let the well-known media in the country publicize it together, but only 1 million will be paid. This game company will also do business, right? Why do you still make games with this kind of mind, isn't it good to go directly to the financial industry?
Su Yanming saw that everyone was hesitant and was ready to add pounds!
"It seems that everyone is not satisfied with this condition, right? Then I will add another one...... All the media participating in this gambling contract, our LOL will not be the hottest in China in the next three years...... So how about we compensate all the media participating in this gambling contract with 10 million in cash each?
The venue fell silent in an instant, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be clearly seen.
At this time, the notary picked up the microphone and stood up, "I declare that this VAM contract is true and valid!"
"I'm participating on behalf of 'attitude'!" Ling Feng said as he walked to the stage, "I bet that new types of games will appear in 50 months!"
"Okay! There is boldness! Is there any other media to participate in this VAM contract, which will be valid for three days......"
Before Su Yanming finished speaking, everyone took out their mobile phones to contact the person in charge...... Some people walked around the corner, and some people walked out of the venue directly, not wanting to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
......
It wasn't until Ling Feng signed the contract that Su Yanming turned off the microphone and asked in a low voice, "Which one are you singing about?" Why don't you discuss it with me in advance about such a big thing as opening a media company?"
"If I had discussed with you beforehand, would you still have such a wonderful performance today?" Ling Feng looked at him and asked, "I also did it on a whim, and I really rushed everything together." ”
"It's all your money anyway, whatever you want, even if you toss them all, it has nothing to do with me. Su Yanming waved his hand and said impatiently: "Forget it, let's not talk about it first, are you so sure that this game will be a big hit? In case it fails, do we really have to compensate each family 10 million? Even if the company is demolished, I'm afraid there won't be so much money!"
"If you believe me, you can honestly put your heart in your stomach. Ling Feng glanced back and said with great confidence: "There are other media here...... Let's finish this scene first, and then go back to the company for the rest. ”
"Okay. ”
"Mr. Su, didn't you know about this gambling contract in advance?" Song Tianjun wondered.
"I don't know, it wasn't until the moment before I came to the stage that Mr. Ling gave me this document and asked me to read it according to it. ”
"I see. ”
Song Tianjun watched Ling Feng walk out of the venue and fell into deep thought.
