Chapter 279: One More City

"Mr. Ding, it's really a bit rude, I haven't come to Hancheng to wash the dust for you, are you free tonight? Our nightlife in Hancheng is also very rich, if you have time, please be sure to give us a chance." ”

Faced with Kim Jong-hyun's sudden invitation, Ding Shi happily agreed.

Although it is good to win "Miracle MU", it is not enough for this to be a semi-finished product, and it is not urgent, the top priority is to take a mature product back, and it is the king to push it to the market as soon as possible.

Kim Jong-hyun made an appointment with a barbecue restaurant called MeX2000 in Gangnam-gu, which is said to be one of the best barbecue restaurants in Gangnam-gu now.

"Good evening, Mr. Kim! I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Seeing Kim Jong-hyun waiting in front of the barbecue restaurant, Ding Shi, who had come to the appointment with Chen Shi, hurriedly walked a few steps up to say hello.

They communicate with each other in English, and although Boss Ding's English is poor, it is okay to deal with it every day.

And the Chen Shi he brought is very slippery in English, of course, Chen Shi will translate when talking about business, so as not to misjudge, which is not only missing a professional translation link, but also easier to reach an agreement on this kind of private socialization, and can say some more private topics.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ding rarely comes to Hancheng, we are shy landlords, and we should express our feelings. "When he knew that Ding Shi would take Chen Shi to the appointment, Kim Jong-hyun only brought an assistant today, indicating reciprocity.

Seeing Ding Shi's arrival, Kim Jong-hyun also greeted him with a smile, this old boy has been mixed in the mainland of China for a while, and it is the door clear that Huaxia is ushered in and sent to this set.

"You're welcome, Mr. Kim, you're so polite. Ding Shi said politely casually, and the group walked towards the store with a lively chatter and laughter.

There are all small cubicles inside, and Kim Jong-hyun has set a four-person table, and after the guests and hosts are seated, the prices of various dishes will generally rise.

After three rounds of drinking, Kim Jong-hyun finally couldn't help but take the lead in bringing up the topic.

"Mr. Ding, we actually have a lot of consensus on the copyright transfer of the game "Paradise", and we very much welcome and look forward to the success of Wangju Company for the introduction of "Paradise" to the Chinese mainland. ”

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Jin, we took a big risk when we introduced the game "Lineage", but in order to maximize the probability of success, we expect to buy out its source code, of course, we hope to be able to respond quickly according to the interests of mainland players!"

"Lineage is a game with a good structure and a good plot core, which is what we like, so we are willing to bring it in at a very high price, rather than having a try-it attitude like Legends, spending a little bit of agency fees and unreal shares.

Frankly speaking, I am not optimistic about the prospects of "Legend" in China. If you were to hand over Lineage to us, we wouldn't be doing it the way they did. ”

After all, he was in Hancheng, Ding Shi expected that these sticks would not have such an in-depth investigation report, and by the way, he would step on a competitor as a bargaining chip to reduce the price, and Ding Shi would definitely not let it go.

"Of course, if you insist on not being open source, we can understand that we chose Miracle MU to focus on building it, and I can't find any shortcomings in this game other than that it hasn't been made yet. ”

Ding Shi once again made a big move.

Can you not mention this stubble, Kim Jong-hyun said with a wry smile on his face, he had already killed 2 bottles of sake, his face was already red and full of drunkenness, but seeing that Ding Shi also drank the two bottles as if drinking water, there was no change at all, Kim Jong-hyun knew that he didn't want to take advantage of the wine today.

Now Ding Shi is sprinkling a handful of salt on the wound again, Kim Jong-hyun really doesn't know how to refute, no way, how about the game "Miracle Mu", how can Kim Jong-hyun, as a competitor, not know.

If you open your eyes and talk nonsense, you have to be blind to the other party, will Ding Shi be a blind person?

No, this time I rushed to make myself the most uncomfortable competitor.

Once the company really loses the copyright fee of the big customer of Wangju, the company loses the ability to compete with competitors at the same capital level.

Without money, the company can't expand R&D investment, although the 2.5D picture special effects are not technically very deep and difficult to overcome, but this is also a new technology, and it needs to be invested in R&D to do it!

At the moment, the most important thing is to do everything possible to get this huge transfer fee, and it is the right way to invest in the development of this kind of game with 2.5D graphics effects.

Kim Jong-hyun weighed repeatedly in his heart, in terms of revenue, the mainland market of the Chinese mainland has hardly started now, and as for whether it can be profitable after operation, I don't know how many years it will take to do it.

If the licensing fee of about $300,000 a year is collected according to the method of "Legend", then the huge amount of $3 million can be recovered in the year of the monkey, and without this money, the company's development speed is greatly lagging behind its competitors.

If not, the only way to develop the source code is to do so? Kim Jong-hyun gradually began to give in to his heart.

Seeing Kim Jong-hyun lowering his head, Ding Shi did not persecute too much.

"Mr. Jin, in fact, to change your thinking, if you sell "Paradise" to us and receive a huge amount of risk-free money in advance, it will be beneficial to your company and not harmful, take 10,000 steps back, in case we succeed in Huaxia, you will not have any loss.

Because this means that the Huaxia market has been cultivated, opening up a gap for your new games to enter Huaxia, and we can also negotiate the follow-up introduction methods, in addition to buying out the exclusive operation of the right to operate and open source, we can also negotiate more cooperation methods. ”

Ding Shi continued to tempt Kim Jong-hyun like a devil, and finally made Kim Jong-hyun unable to hold back.

"Alright, Mr. Ding, let's reach an agreement according to the terms we negotiated before. We have opened the source code to your company, and we hope that your company will work hard to carry this game forward. I hope we have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

"There will definitely be, if we open up the online game market, we will have more demand for online games, and of course we will give priority to cooperating with old customers. ”

Ding Shi stretched out his hand, "Mr. Jin, you made a very wise and win-win decision today. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to clasp it tightly with Ding Shi, although this agreement has not yet been signed in writing, but the last obstacle to signing has been cleared tonight, and the main thing that remains is the wording of some specific articles.

This matter has basically been completed here, but for Ding Shi, this is only a step forward.

Although Lineage is already a full-fledged online game, it was only a Korean version before, so the game must be adapted to China before it can be launched.

It will take some time for this to happen, and NetJu will also need to send a team to the R&D team of "Paradise" to receive and familiarize themselves with the source code.

It's just that Ding Shi, who is holding two big game products at the moment, is already a little ambitious.

Since Shengda rejected his kindness, Ding Shi didn't mind using these two games to let Cheng Daqi understand who is the real bigwig in the Internet industry now!

Although the money spent a lot of money to introduce the two games, from now on, the development fate of this game is completely in their own hands.

Whether it's Kim Jae-deok or Kim Jong-hyun, the new features or new equipment they develop in "Miracle MU" or "Lineage" will provide free upgrade services for at least three years, and then talk about the price of paid upgrade services after three years.

This ensures a high degree of autonomy in game adjustment and optimization,Compared with Shengda's dependence on people's breath in everything,All modifications have to be decided on the stick side, which is much stronger,Not to mention anything else,Ding Shi can be completely autonomous and controllable in terms of time schedule。

After spending a lot of money of more than 5 million US dollars at once, Boss Ding returned to China with two game contracts.

If the plan provided by Liu Ruoyi is wrong, it will be really difficult for the network to turn over, and most of the resources are now invested in online games, whether it will be successful to see this wave!

If this treasure is wrong, the funds will be consumed and you will still not be able to get a stable and strong cash flow, and Boss Ding feels that Wangju is basically about to kneel!

Perhaps by this time next year, the pattern of the three major portals in the mainland can only stand side by side, and the competition network in the future of this portal can no longer be supported, so it can only withdraw.

If you can't find cash, the cows can't afford to burn the door at all, and the industry has basically confirmed it. There is no other way out.

Financing this road, other companies may be okay, but with the temporary suspension of Netju's NASDAQ, Netju is not even thinking about it, of course, the only thing Ding Shi feels at ease now is that he has sold some shares, at least he will not lose to the end.

However, if it is really like Liu Ruoyi's plan to predict that the online game market will be able to reach the billion level in the short term, his own treasure will be right, and two large online online games will knock on the door of this market one after another, and how big the advantage of this one step ahead will be seen in the middle of next year.

One step faster, one step slow, engaging in network business is so exciting, and billionaires become more negative in minutes.

However, the purchase is set to leave, and now the boss Ding has no regrets about the medicine to eat, so he can only go all out to catch up, Shengda company's routine, there has long been a market development team to study, and began to establish a promotion team in the second-tier cities to find out the Internet cafes in the jurisdiction.

Once Lineage is live, the group will turn into wolves and devour targets in minutes.

Now each target promotion area,Begin to summarize their own Internet cafes into a map,Each small black flag is the outlets that competitors have occupied,The small white flag is blank,The Internet café occupied by the network gathering game in the future will be a small red flag,When the small red flag is inserted in the map, it is the time when the network gathering game is powerful。

This time, the network gathered in an all-out gamble on online games, but the implementation was tight inside and loose outside, and there was basically no publicity on the outside.

This is also Boss Ding's strategy, not to put pressure on Shengda Company for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. When it's ready, then it will be launched thunderously and catch Shengda off guard!
