As a new 3D upgrade of the once popular online game "Miracle MU", "Miracle World" was once given high hopes by countless players, but in the end it also suffered a huge Waterloo.

Some people commented that this game is actually quite good, but the fault is that the player's taste in 2007 was too picky compared to 2002, and it is also a 3D online game, "World of Wonders" cannot avoid comparing it with "World of Warcraft", and the result is crushed in all aspects.

Whether it was Netzen at this time, or Jiucheng, or even all gamers, they didn't expect that this masterpiece, which had gone through several years of research and development, would fall at a rocket-like speed after it was launched under the watchful eye.

Everyone didn't expect this, except for Liu Yun, who had a God's perspective.

In this way, he dug a pit for Ctrip unknowingly, and made the other party jump into it willingly.

If "Miracle World" pounces at that time, Liu Yun can also shirk his responsibilities in a dignified manner.

Because this is a highly anticipated masterpiece for all industry insiders and gamers, it is not his opinion alone.

However, Liu Yun still needs to continue to lie and make Lao Liang believe it.

Sure enough, the other party was still a little puzzled and said: "For what reason did Liu always recommend this very promising game to me, why did Yoyo give up the agency plan." ”

Liu Yun shook his head and replied very directly: "Who said we gave up, if the competitor is Jiucheng, we will definitely stick to the end, if it is Ctrip, we can make a deal, not to mention ......"

What's more, Lao Liang squinted his eyes slightly, and his expression was cautious.

"The public beta time of "Miracle World" is roughly next year, and our company's self-developed "Zhu Xian" will also be launched next year, the time point is very close, from the energy, as well as human and material considerations, we are not allowed to distract the two games at the same time. ”

"Also, I have a rather mysterious point in mind. ”

Lao Liang was curious and asked, "What?"

Liu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Luck!"

"Luck?" Lao Liang is face is black line and foggy water.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "Sometimes, people in business are very superstitious. Mr. Liang, if you think about it carefully, from Shanda, to Jiucheng, to NetEase, and then to our Youyou, no company has 2 popular online games at the same time. Although "Demon Domain" is quite successful, its popularity is far from that of Warcraft and Fantasy. ”

This is pure nonsense and nonsense, but facts speak louder than words. Today's Internet companies, there really is no one who can hold two popular online games.

Many bosses can't help but wonder if this is really a curse, and a popular game will drain the company's potential luck.

This situation was not broken by the penguin two years later, and Tencent, which owns "CrossFire" and "Dungeons and Warriors", also relied on the huge profits brought by these two games to start the game empire mode.

followed by NetEase, which snatched love from Jiucheng and grabbed the agency of "World of Warcraft". However, due to the high cost of agency fees and profit sharing, although Warcraft is still popular, the profits brought to NetEase are far less than the original Nine Cities, nor are they as good as those two games for Tencent.

"I thought about winning the agency of "Miracle World", but because of "Zhu Xian", there is a lot of overlap with Warcraft, so I hesitated. If this game is run by Yoyo, there is no problem in making money, but due to the limited energy, it should not reach the height originally expected, so it is better to make a deal with you than this. Liu Yun said very seriously, and his tone could be described as extremely sincere.

Liang Jianzhang thought for a while and said, "If we give up, Youyou will compete with Jiucheng?"

Liu Yun laughed and said, "Of course, Jiucheng is our competitor, and there is no deal. ”

Lao Liang roughly estimated in his heart that his confidence in "Miracle World" came from the once popular "Miracle MU", and he was envious of this nine cities in Shanghai.

"The lower limit of the economic benefits that "Miracle World" can bring should be the operation of "Miracle MU" at the beginning, and if it is operated seriously, it is not a big problem to earn hundreds of millions of profits a year. "He was tempted. Because Ctrip requires a large source of capital, in addition to financing, online games are the best way to do it.

Lao Liang still has worries in his heart, coming from Jiucheng. Not long after the company entered the first-tier Internet enterprise, it retreated to the second-tier ranks because it could not find a new growth point for the time being.

However, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. The economic volume of the nine cities is there, and the cash flow is also there. Lao Liang was a little weak-hearted, afraid that he would not be able to compete with the other party.

Liu Yun understood that since he wanted to trap the other party, he had to show goodwill, and he had to vomit a little blood, so he said with a smile: "Negotiate agency matters with foreign game companies, or we are better at it." In this case, how about we come forward to talk to the Korean Netzen and then transfer the agency to you?"

With the strength of Yoyo now, perhaps as soon as he came forward to compete, the heart of Jiucheng was three points colder.

After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree.

"But in terms of this price, you can't just ask for it. Lao Liang also had worries in his heart.

Let's talk about it, but the money is still paid by Ctrip.

Liu Yun said with a smile: "How much is the bottom limit in Mr. Liang's heart, let's reveal it first." ”

Lao Liang frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Liu Yun continued: "I know it thoroughly, Netzen must have learned the lesson of "Miracle MU", after all, Jiucheng only paid 2 million US dollars at the beginning, and there was no profit sharing, but they made a lot of money. So the agency fee for "World of Miracles" can't be cheap, and I estimate that it will cost $6 million. ”

Lao Liang frowned, the price was a bit expensive, but he could accept it, so he said: "6 million US dollars, no matter how expensive it is, I can't accept it." ”

Liu Yun waved his hand and said: "In the booking business market, when I cancel the discount and resume the regular price, as long as I can guarantee 20% of the market share, and you withdraw from the hotel reservation market. Then if the agency fee exceeds 6 million US dollars, I will pay for you in excess of the excess!"

Lao Liang was happy in his heart, he could agree to this condition, and a 20% market share could not threaten Ctrip's leading position. What's more, the hotel reservation project has been burning money, losing money, and can't understand the end, and now it is wise to choose to quit, and there are enough funds to pay for the game's agency fee. This step is a natural one.

It's just that Liu Yun said again: "If you don't engage in price wars, other competitive means can always be." ”

Lao Liang was slightly stunned and said: "Of course, market economy, free competition." ”

With Ctrip's deep-rooted position in the booking business market, as long as the other party does not engage in price wars, they have nothing to fear from other means.
