Chapter 275: Buying Out the Source Code of an Online Game?

Speaking of this, Mr. Ding found Shengda Company to talk about mergers and acquisitions, but now Shengda Company, which has made considerable progress in market development, directly refused.

Financing can be had, 100 percent and 20 percent can be negotiated, and the valuation should be at least tens of millions, don't be too expensive, this has to be denominated in US dollars!

This attitude and offer almost didn't make Boss Ding vomit blood, but fortunately, Liu Ruoyi's plan had predicted this possibility, and directly let him go both ways, talking about mergers and acquisitions, and looking for spare new game software.

After the idea was clear, of course, this person who was not difficult for Boss Ding, and soon Boss Ding's team found "Paradise" similar to the legend!

Under the influence of Liu Ruoyi's plan to predict the prospects, Lao Ding, who had already had his own ideas and was stimulated by Chengda, went crazy this time, and directly negotiated with the manufacturer to buy out the source code at any cost!

Shengda Company negotiated the introduction of "Legend" with a copyright fee of 300,000 US dollars and an agreement of 2 accounts, and the boss of Wangjuding directly raised the price to 3 million US dollars!

Wangju wants to buy out the copyright and source code of "Paradise" in the mainland of China, and can develop new props and new copies on this basis!

This offer directly startled the Hallyu companies, because this is close to their development costs!

Frightened, the Hallyu company thought that something earth-shattering had happened in the mainland game market, and the online game was on fire, but it sent someone to inquire, and it was not the case at all.

In the entire mainland of China, online games are relatively large-scale, and Shengda's "Legend" is still being vigorously promoted, and now it has just begun to be promoted.

Although it is said that these investigators still have helpers such as the leading party, these helpers themselves are not veterans in the industry, at most they have collected and heard that "Legend" is promoted in mainland Internet cafes, which is considered to be very in-depth.

The Korean investigators summarized all aspects of the information, and this routine is not the same as the internal online game promotion model of the Korean Wave, is it not in the wrong direction?

In this way, it seems that the mainland game market is still in its infancy, so after this report is put back, there is naturally not much to be optimistic about the mainland market.

After getting such a report, the developers of "Paradise" were a little moved, if there was a golden sand flowing next door, they would definitely not choose to sell out to kill the chickens and eggs, but use "Legend" to keep a share.

But when you think of the huge gap between 300,000 a year and 3 million, that's a huge amount of money to build a new online game.

It's just that the network gathers to ask for the source code, and this requirement is more pitiful, not only to eat eggs, but even the hens are ready to be served together, and the special requirement of network gathering is different, which makes the K-pop developers a little painful.

Because of this factor, the negotiations went back and forth for several rounds without results, and Boss Ding, who watched Shengda's "Legend" become hotter day by day, couldn't sit still, and flew over for an interview in person.

"Mr. Kim, our sincerity has been made very clear, and if Mr. Kim still does not agree, I have to regretfully terminate our negotiations. ”

As soon as Boss Ding arrived, he first released his attitude.

"We don't have to be a game, and as we all know, you don't have to say that Lineage is the only good game in your Hallyu game. If we can't reach a consensus, we have to choose the right product. ”

As soon as Kim Jong-hyun, the boss of the game developer of "Lineage", heard Boss Ding's words, he knew that his most difficult moment had arrived.

Although he still has the right to choose, there are very few customers like Wangju, and if he misses Wangju, there may not be a second one who is willing to spend money to buy, and in this difficult era, there are not too many customers who can pay $3 million to buy.

If the negotiations really break down, forcing the company to choose a competitor's product, so that the competitor gets such a huge transfer fee, then the company will face an even more difficult situation.

When the rival company has abundant funds, it can update its game products faster, so as to achieve greater market competitive advantage, which makes the company's situation very unfavorable.

If this really happens, it will definitely not be what Kim Jong-hyun wants to see.

"Mr. Ding, I understand your company's position, but do we really have no second solution?

We continue to maintain and optimize the source code, which is actually a more economical way, you don't need a lot of manpower to get familiar with the code and modifications, and you don't have to maintain such a research and development team to swallow up a lot of research and development expenses, we think this is a win-win situation. ”

Kim Jong-hyun continued to work hard, "Actually, we can refer to the model of "Legend" and still sign the agreement at the same price. ”

"That's not the case, Mr. Jin, because the cultural backgrounds and player habits of the two countries are fundamentally different, we need to launch weapons and even very customized things such as plots that are suitable for the habits of mainland players more quickly, and you can't quickly understand and meet this need. ”

"I think you already know that you are all competitors "Legend" has taken the lead in the mainland mainland, if we still take the same way and follow them step by step, believe me, the online world is a winner-takes-all, you can get a maximum of 300,000 licensing fees a year, it is amazing, and it is unpredictable whether this game can run in the mainland for two years in the future. ”

"We spent a lot of money to set up a server system to run the game, and in the end it failed because the game was not as good as the competition, which was certainly not our purpose, and if so, we would have just stopped working on the project. ”

"Mr. Jin, please rest assured, if we have succeeded in this game, and your company is not the only one with such a game, then if the follow-up game is quickly launched in the mainland to test the waters, we can also use the sharing method to promote your new game in the future. It is in the interests of both companies that we should work together for the long term. ”

Ding Shi's words seemed to be heartfelt, and he seemed to impress Kim Jong-hyun a little.

But in fact, Kim Jong-hyun's online game is currently "Paradise" the most competitive. So Ding Shi's words were actually words to comfort him, and there were not many opportunities for follow-up cooperation at all.

Unless Kim Jong-hyun comes up with a more powerful new game. But this is not something that can be taken out immediately, unless Kim Jong-hyun gets the huge purchase rights fee of Netju and quickly launches the new team to develop some planned games as soon as possible.
