The wonder of life is that there will always be many unexpected things happening, and even Liu Yun, who is open from God's perspective, will not be able to guess the outcome of many things.

Li Hao said with some embarrassment: "I remember that there will be a commercial performance next month, with Li Siyue and Tian Fu. ”

His words came to an abrupt end here, but Liu Yun understood what he meant, and the couple who broke up was very likely to have a narrow path and would meet unexpectedly.

"I believe that Tian Fu has a very bad impression of me now. Li Hao smiled wryly.

Listening to her tone, it seemed like this, after all, Han Yingying was her friend. Liu Yun replied truthfully.

Li Hao disturbed his head a little distressed, and his face was full of depression.

"Su Su's father, I don't know why he retired early. Now that I have no power in my hands, there are fewer people who come to flatter and flatter. It is said that she has lost some money doing business outside, and she is not living as well as before. ”

Li Hao hesitated for a few seconds and said truthfully.

Liu Yun was silent, he knew that all this had nothing to do with him, so he didn't talk.

"By the way, Tian Fu's popularity is getting higher and higher now, compared with Siyue, which one of you is better at development. ”

Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he replied after a moment of silence: "The voices of the two are recognizable, one is clear and the other is soft, but Tian Fu's music foundation is better, and he has a beautiful singer-songwriter's personality." ”

Li Hao's face was a little complicated, and he asked this question a little bit of a drunkard's intention not to drink.

The more popular the singers, the more successful their agents will be, and the easier it will be to negotiate a contract for variety shows or advertising.

This kid is secretly competing with his ex-girlfriend.

Liu Yun didn't say a word clearly, he gave Li Siyue four golden songs, and the popularity of singing is higher than Tian Fu's, but whether there can be songs of the same quality in the future depends on her team and personal luck.

As for Tian Fu, since there is no hebe in this time and space, Liu Yun can still secretly take out the songs of her previous life after flying solo one by one and slowly give them to Tian Fu without shame, and even turn the songwriter into her, and continue to be a woman.

When I think of this sweet-looking, with a hint of tallness, a little stubborn girl.

Liu Yun couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, every time he went to Yanjing to meet her, every time he separated, she would not hesitate to throw herself into her arms, and have a hot kiss until the sky was wasted.

However, the relationship between the two is limited to this, and there is no further step, but Liu Yun feels that he is walking a tightrope and may take that step at any time.

……

Li Siyue's national tour continued, and Li Hao followed her as an assistant, running all over the world.

Liu Yun just went to the debut in Shanghai and returned to Ningjiang, and there were a lot of things in the company to deal with.

Liu Shihua came to Liu Yun's office with a solemn face and said, "Mr. Liu, the representative of Blizzard has arrived. ”

Liu Yun squinted his eyes slightly and replied, "I understand, let him in." ”

Liu Shihua glanced at it with complicated eyes and sighed secretly.

He didn't understand why Warcraft was so tough since it was so profitable, and the boss just took a step back in a friendly way to make money.

Soon after, Blizzard's representative, who is also the marketing director, Owen, accompanied by Liu Shihua, walked in.

"Mr. Liu, hello. Owen stepped forward and said hello.

Liu Yun's original face was a little grim, but after Owen came in, it was immediately cloudy and sunny, and he smiled: "Mr. Owen, it has been two and a half years since we last met, and everything is like yesterday." ”

After hearing this, Owen showed a hint of complexity in his eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, that negotiation is still vivid. It was also from that day that Blizzard and Yoyo officially started their cooperation and established a deep friendship. ”

Deep friendship? Liu Yun replied only in words that only Chinese people could understand: "Hehe." ”

"Of course, I hope this friendship lasts forever. He added with a smile.

More than two years ago, Blizzard was full of superiority in the face of this nascent Internet company. Now that I have come to Yoyo again, there is a feeling that I am in a different world, and things are not people.

In that short period of time, Yoyo has changed dramatically, and Blizzard's executives know that they can no longer look at the company in the same way that they did more than two years ago.

Owen remembered a Chinese proverb: If you don't go for three days, you should be impressed. Youyou and the young Mr. Liu in front of him are really impressive.

He sat down in front of Liu Yun, and Liu Shihua sat next to Liu Yun.

The two sides exchanged a few words of greetings and polite words to each other, and then entered the topic.

Owen asked, "According to Director Liu, your company wants to agree on a sharing agreement for the next two expansion packs at once?"

Liu Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, your company has an expansion film for almost two years. It would be too much of a hassle if every expansion had to be re-contracted. ”

Owen asked again, "The agreement that Liu Yun wants only refers to the next two expansions, or all the expansions." "He needs to confirm again.

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and continued: "For the next two, I think it is appropriate to revise the sharing agreement every four years, and two years is too little. ”

Owen looked at Liu Yun and said very seriously: "I remember that the contract between Yoyo and Blizzard should expire in 2009, has Liu always thought about renewing the contract?"

Liu Yun smiled and shook his head, and said: "No, don't forget that we still have one year of priority to renew, and the contract expires in 2010, and there are still four years to go." So it's a bit too early to talk about a contract renewal. ”

Liu Shihua, who was on the side, picked up the steaming teacup and took a sip gently.

He felt a bit of gunpowder between the two of them, which made him feel restless.

Owen laughed dryly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Liu, this supplementary agreement was signed by both parties based on a friendly atmosphere, and should not be used as a means of threat. ”

These Yankees turned their hands into clouds and turned their hands into rain, which is really shameless.

Wasn't it a threat to use the update of the expansion to get yourself stuck in the first place?

However, mixing right and wrong is what they are good at, just like when they used a bag of laundry detergent to insist that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and then started a war.

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Director, we have a strict spirit of contract, and all actions are strictly implemented in accordance with the contract." ”

He spoke, with a big grin, harmless appearance of humans and animals.

Owen clenched his fists quietly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

He understands that Blizzard can use the expansion as bait to deter Yoyo at all times.

But the other party also holds a contract of up to 6 years, and can counter Blizzard at any time and let them cast a mouse.

The popularity of Warcraft in the past two years has made them believe that there will be a large number of Internet companies in Huaxia with real money and silver in line, lining up to consult agency matters. They saw that Yoyo was reluctant to accept Blizzard's conditions, and they also moved the idea of changing agents, but the high liquidated damages were only formulated to restrain Yoyo, but they didn't expect to trap themselves as a cocoon.

The most unbearable thing for Owen is that Yoyo's attitude has become more and more arrogant, and he is no longer as humble as before. In this cooperation, they began to gradually compete for the initiative. The other party has never realized that it was the great Blizzard that gave you the agency of "World of Warcraft", so that you can have enough to eat.

Now this young boss, the tone of his voice, he does not feel the slightest trace of respect and modesty.

What is called "Yoyo has a strict spirit of contract, and all actions are strictly carried out in accordance with the contract". Is he satirizing Blizzard's lack of contractual spirit?

"Mr. Liu, in view of the special national conditions of China. Only through cooperation can our two companies achieve mutual benefit and maximize the benefits. Your Chinese ancients once had a saying: do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness. ”

Owen pondered for a moment, then made his point. This is also the opinion of Blizzard.

Liu Yun raised his head and glanced at the other party, and silently lowered his head slightly, frowning slightly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart continued to expand.

The implication of this is that if there is no special national situation in China, foreign game companies cannot operate directly in China, and they will not look for agents. Nowadays, the benefits are unevenly distributed, and Blizzard, as a game developer, gets far less financial rewards than Yoyo as an agent.

In their view, this day is not tolerated! In the eyes of the expensive Blizzard, they eat meat and drink soup leisurely, which is the most ideal result. World of Warcraft is Blizzard's best title to date, and it's the culmination of their ingenuity. They deserve a greater share of the benefits.

Liu Yun listened to the other party's words, and gradually frowned: "At that time, no matter what the market prospects of this game were, your company could get an agency fee of up to $12 million per year, and all the risks and advertising agency fees were borne by Yoyo. There is a saying in the business field, the greater the risk, the greater the return, and this is the benefit we deserve. ”

Owen said confidently: "Mr. Liu, with the excellence of World of Warcraft, your company does not have much risk at all. ”

Liu Yun squinted his eyes slightly, unable to suppress his annoyance, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Ridiculous!"

Liu Shihua, who was sitting quietly on the side, frowned after the boss became angry.

Did it just turn around? The worst happened.

Owen looked at Liu Yun with complicated eyes, and secretly said in his heart that Mr. Kaplan, the president, once said that although the boss of Yoyo is much younger than Zhu Jun of Jiucheng, his personality is more calm and introverted, and he is not as arrogant and high-profile as the latter. He looked away, and the guy in front of him was obviously also a high-flying person.

He felt that no matter how arrogant Zhu Jun of Jiucheng was, he wouldn't dare to blacken his face in front of him and bang on the table angrily.

After Liu Yun finished his anger, he quickly regained his composure and said: "This game of Warcraft is so good, so good that even if it remains at level 60 in the next few years, it can still bring a steady stream of profits to our company." ”

Liu Shihua's eyebrows continued to jump, "Boss, you're adding fuel to the fire." ”

After Liu Yun finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair with a big grin, held the teacup in his right hand, and continued: "I believe that the two expansions in the future will be excellent and successful, but in terms of classics, they are still not as good as the current level 60 version. ”

"So I never worry about making money. ”

Owen gritted his teeth, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak. At this moment, he actually came up with the idea that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat.

Because of the high liquidated damages and the long contract period, Blizzard, which originally thought it had taken advantage, was firmly tied by it.

Liu Yun continued: "Mr. Owen, the new expansion film "Burning Expedition" has basically passed the approval of the Ministry of Culture, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. As long as we reach a new sharing agreement with you, we can follow the pace of the US and European servers. ”

Owen calmed down and replied, "Mr. Liu, there are still big differences between us. What's more, Warcraft's profits occupy such a large proportion of Yoyo. If you are so domineering, then after the contract expires, we will not consider continuing to cooperate with you. ”

Liu Yun tapped his fingers on the table and smiled slightly: "Four years is too long, I only seize the day." ”

Owen pressed step by step: "A mature, wise person at the helm of a company will think long. Yoyo can certainly continue to earn high profits with the level 60 version of Warcraft, but after four years, if you lose Warcraft, you will lose more than 90% of your profits, or even more. ”

"We have analyzed the rest of the products under Yoyo, which are all projects that need to burn money, and there is no prospect of making a profit!"

Liu Yun just smiled indifferently, turned his head and patted Liu Shihua's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, this American friend is very concerned about our Youyou, and he has also specially analyzed the business conditions of several other subsidiaries, and even made suggestions." ”

The boss suddenly spoke to him, he couldn't help coughing, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, and there is a certain truth in the analysis, but there is no absolute in everything." However, I think these subsidiaries are independent of each other, and whether the other few are profitable or not has little to do with the game company. ”

Of course, he has to stand in the boss's position without hesitation.

Liu Yun turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Your company is a great game company, but it is only a game company, and you should not jump to conclusions about industries other than games. What's more, 4 years later, no one can say whether Yoyo's profits will still be as dependent on Warcraft as they are today. At least I don't think that's going to happen. ”

He thinks that there is really no need to wait until 2010, as long as it is next year, the three new games "Zhu Xian", "Crossfire", and "Dragon Babu" will be launched successively, and the person who should panic is your Blizzard.

"The next two expansions, $20 million, 20% profit share, are my conditions. This is already a very sincere offer for Blizzard. Mr. Owen, let's talk to the headquarters when we get back. Director Liu, send-off. He calmly gave the order to evict the guest.
