Chapter 14: An Interesting Meeting

In the afternoon of the same day, Electronic Arts and SONY, who directly replied to Long Tu who refused to negotiate, both re-issued a request for a meeting, but Li Xiaoming refused: "We are not as strong as them in terms of heritage, but we have to beat them to call them dad in the future, take care of their wool, and let them get out." ”

……

Early the next morning, the delegation of V Society came to Longtu's conference room as scheduled, and this meeting was much easier.

Li Xiaoming took the lead and said enthusiastically: "Welcome to everyone of V Society again, please forgive me for the inconsiderate reception yesterday, I hope you don't care, after all, the plan proposed by your company really interests us too much, and we have to put down the matter of entertaining you to seriously study your company's proposal." ”

A chubby member of the V Society stood up and nodded to Li Xiaoming and the others, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, Huaxia is really a magical place, yesterday fortunately we had free time, which allowed me to taste the famous Chinese food for a long time, oh yes, let me introduce myself, my name is Gabe_Newell." ”

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu were shocked when they heard this name: "Damn, the famous steam founder G is fat!"

This guy is only now starting to seriously look at the legendary man in front of him, and his face, which is 20 years younger, makes both of them a little dazed.

Li Xiaoming hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to G Fat's side, stretched out his hand to shake his hand warmly, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gabe, I didn't expect you to come in person, I was really sluggish yesterday, today we will finish our business and we will definitely invite you to taste the special food of our Rongcheng." ”

"Oh, Lee, you're so gracious, things can always be talked about, why don't you tell me what kind of dinner you're going to treat me to?"

"Haha, Mr. Gabe, don't worry, you'll know in the afternoon, I promise to make you linger!"

"Really, I'll see!"

"Satisfaction guaranteed!"

After a short conversation, the two returned to the negotiation itself.

"Mr. Gabe, yesterday we carefully analyzed the cooperation agreement you proposed, and we found it very interesting, but we would like to ask a few questions in person. ”

"Please. ”

"That's right, your company proposed that our "Legend" business could be operated by us and you to jointly fund the establishment of an overseas joint venture company, and we are only responsible for financial and technical support, and you are responsible for all the operations and all matters of the new company, right?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what we mean on the Legends project. ”

"In other words, we are only one of the shareholders of the new company, and we do not have decision-making power, right?"

"Of course, after all, we are more professional in the market in the United States. ”

"Excuse me, what percentage of voting rights can we reach?"

"According to our idea, you and I will jointly invest $10 million to set up a new operating company, and your voting rights will not exceed 34%, and your dividend rights will be 50%. ”

"Does it mean that according to the law, we will give up a veto?"

"Yes. ”

"This is a controversial point, we don't have much objection to the dividend right itself, but in terms of voting rights, we think it should reach 49%, after all, the game itself is developed by us, and we know better about the game's setting, profit method and direction. ”

When G Fat heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Oh no, no, Li, this is impossible, you must know that the shares of V Society are not all owned by me and Mike, if you reach 49%, you will become the de facto largest shareholder, which is not in our interests." ”

Li Xiaoming will not fall for this fat man, and said: "But you also said that you are a local enterprise, you should have more advantages in this regard, not to mention, you are not negotiating in your personal name, but with V Society as the main body, then you are actually 51% absolute holding!"

"No, no, Lee, you know, 49% of the voting rights is too much, and I can't go back and convince those shareholders. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Gabe, how much is more appropriate for you?"

Gabe said tentatively, "Why don't you ...... According to the ...... in the agreement"

Li Xiaoming hurriedly waved his hand: "Mr. Gabe, don't, this is also an unacceptable condition for our side." We know what you're actually interested in, so maybe we can talk a little bit more about it, don't you think?"

Gabe's eyes lit up, and then he quickly pretended to hesitate and said, "This, Li, I didn't get the full authorization this time, and we may need to report this to the other shareholders before we can decide." ”

Li Xiaoming said magnificently: "No problem, you can stay in Rongcheng for a few more days, let's just go and eat more delicious food, isn't it? I'm also thinking of eating and playing everywhere, I just have an excuse for you to come, haha!"

"Haha, Lee, then we'll thank you for your hospitality in advance!

"Okay, Mr. Gabe, I'll contact you in advance in the afternoon, goodbye!"

……

"Huh......" Li Xiaoming let out a long breath after the people from the V Society left.

"Hey, I can't see it, and I can talk about it easily. Zhang Li said with a smile.

"It's easy to fart, this guy is an old monster, if I hadn't revealed what they were more interested in and could make concessions, it wouldn't have been that simple. ”

"This is also a problem, is it really okay to give in on [Rainbow]?"

"What's not to do, a strategic cooperation agreement, hehe, who takes advantage of whom!" Li Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Are you going to play the same game with Daddy Ma again?" Zhang Li asked.

"Of course, it's much more interesting to bet on the future than to take advantage of it now. ”

Li Xiaoming was very excited: "In the future, there will be distribution platforms all over the world! What's the big deal about a Huaxia distribution platform market cooperation, we can't develop so many games anyway, and I won't lose money if I let them out." Market for market, hehe, it's kind of interesting. ”

……

After dinner in the afternoon, the group was ready to meet the game company from Europe.

Speaking of which, this game company is also familiar to everyone, and it has a branch in the magic capital of China in this era, it is called Ubisoft.

Speaking of this company, its masterpieces are more famous.

Ubisoft not only launched games such as "Lehman" and "World Football" in China after the sinicization, but also introduced many companies that have had friendly cooperative relations with it to China - "Resident Evil", "Might and Magic", and later the "Call of Duty" series, etc., which are simply the favorites of gamers.

Among the representative teams this time, Ubisoft is also the only team with Chinese people.

And this time, among all the companies, Ubisoft is the only one that has been in contact with Longtu before.

If Longtu is now the leading figure in the domestic online game industry, then Modu Ubisoft is the leading leader in domestic stand-alone game publishing.

Previously, the company had sent a team to Longtu to learn from the crackdown on auxiliary and piracy.

However, before, the boss of the magic capital Ubisoft was still Lan Jili, and now it is Ms. Ge Ling.

Therefore, it is expected that Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu are interested in the company, and it is strange that they are not interested.

As Ubisoft and his entourage entered the conference room, Li Xiaoming also greeted him familiarly: "Assistant Lu Jiaqi, long time no see! Yo, Mr. Lu Weilu is also here? Hello, hello!"

Ubisoft and his entourage also replied to Li Xiaoming and the others familiarly, a happy scene, and there was no trace of the bloody wind and rain of the subsequent negotiations.
