Chapter 114: The Lion Opens His Mouth
On the way to Xinwang Zen Company, Wei Kun talked to Chen Hai from time to time, and his subordinates took notes to record the contents.
The two of them mainly revolve around the amount of the previous Korean terminal game licensing adaptation fee, for example, 37wan just announced "Legend of Gold" under the banner of "Legend Genuine License", according to the industry grapevine, this authorized adaptation fee of 37wan paid Shanda 20 million yuan, it can be said that from the beginning of this project, "Legend of Gold" has been burdened with a serious burden.
As for why the licensing fee is given to Shanda, not to Wemade, the game developer of "Legend"? Because Shanda Games has the complete exclusive rights to the bloody legend IP in Chinese mainland, Wemade can only watch Shanda eat and wipe out the last cent of the value of "Legend".
It is said that feelings are priceless, but feelings also have a price in the game circle.
"Miracle MU" still can't be compared with "Legend", although these two games in China are also the memory of a generation of gamers, but in Wei Kun's heart, the price of this feeling has to be put in quotation marks.
Taking these two games as a simple comparison, "Legend" exceeded 100 million registered users in China in 2004, and the highest number of online users was one day in October 2002, when the highest number of simultaneous online users was more than 670,000.
And what about Miracle MU?
Although it is the memory of the same generation of players, there are 12 million registered users, and the highest number of people online at the same time is about 300,000.
She Beichen is not a gamer, compared to playing games in her spare time, she prefers to go out shopping with her friends and girlfriends, travel and take pictures, and she doesn't know anything about games, but when Wei Kun chats with her subordinates about games, she listens very seriously.
It turned out that when she was a child, she watched other people's play "Legend" was so popular abroad, and it turned out that the agency, licensing and adaptation fees for a game were all calculated in tens of billions of won, and the game she had never noticed was so profitable!
All this is very new to her, compared to shopping and drinking afternoon tea, the string of numbers in Wei Kun's mouth is particularly attractive at this time.
After a series of negative news from 2007 to 2008, Webzen was acquired by NHN, the largest network operator in South Korea, and in July 2010, Webzen and NHN Games merged to form a new Netzen company, the company's address has not changed and is still in Guro 3-dong, Guro District, Seoul, which is the goal of Wei Kun's trip.
The vehicle stopped in front of a building, got out of the car and entered a seven-story building, and the Netzen company was on the first and second floors of Block B of this building.
Before the appointment with the Netzen company, the cooperation agreement was negotiated through the branch of webzen China Netzen in China, and the lady at the front desk confirmed the time and people were correct, and then invited everyone to wait in the conference room on the second floor, and called a colleague to take her place, and she led the way in front.
After getting on the elevator, the two subordinates couldn't help but whisper and sighed, "It's worthy of a big company, and the environment looks different." ”
"No matter what, it's also the R&D manufacturer of "The Ninth Continent", can the scale be small?"
In 2010, Tencent announced that it was the agent of the new work "The Ninth Continent" of the Netzen Company, and the publicity offensive was overwhelming, and it went through the first technical test from March 2011, to the internal test of the deleted file, and then to the current non-deleted test, it can be said that "The Ninth Continent" is also a small fire in China.
I had only heard of the company before, but I didn't expect to be able to come and feel it in person, which made the two subordinates particularly excited, not long after graduation, they still fantasized about the dream of developing a large-scale MMORPG terminal game in their hearts, and it was also a good experience to be able to go overseas to feel the atmosphere of such a big factory as Netzen.
Chen Hai, who was walking in front, heard the whispered discussion of his subordinates, and couldn't help glaring at them, it was okay to discuss, but what was the envy hidden in these words? Although the development difficulty of web games is indeed not high, the road is taken step by step, and the rice is eaten one bite at a time, how can you become a fat man in one go?
"Wait a minute, our director will come right over. After the front desk lady helped everyone make tea, she left a sentence before leaving.
"What did she just say?" Wei Kun asked.
She Beichen replied, "She told us to wait for a while, and the director will be there in a while." ”
"Oh. Wei Kun nodded, indicating understanding.
Wei Kun drank tea while looking at the game company Netzen, and experienced the atmosphere inside the company with the eyes of the boss of the game company.
After waiting in the conference room for about four or five minutes, the door was pushed open from the outside, and several people walked in, and the one who walked in front should be the director of Netzen, a middle-aged man in his forties, with slightly gray hair on his sideburns on both sides, and when he saw Wei Kun get up, he stretched out his right hand and said a word.
Everything depends on She Beichen to translate.
"This is Mr. Kim Chang-geun, the acting director of Netzen. He introduced Wei Kun to the visitor, and She Beichen introduced Wei Kun's origin to Jin Changgen.
"Mr. Kim Chang-geun praised you for being very young and promising. ”
"Thank you. ”
The two complimented each other, sat down, and the two parties happened to face each other, officially starting the-for-tat duel of the "Miracle MU" licensing adaptation fee.
At the beginning, Wei Kun first showed Jin Changgen his company's strength in the development and operation of domestic web games, 69wan game platform has a total of 25 million registered users, monthly active users of more than 1.5 million, although not as good as 37wan, Youzu these old companies, but the self-developed game "Legend of the Tyrant" monthly turnover of nearly 23 billion won is the best report card.
"Mr. Jin Changgen has no doubts about 69wan's self-research ability, "Miracle MU" as a tenacious terminal game has an indelible position in the hearts of Chinese online game players, and we will actively carry out in-depth cooperation with you, including but not limited to "Miracle MU", ......"
She Beichen translated the words of Director Kim Chang-geun.
Wei Kun is tired of hearing the big talk, in fact, what he is most concerned about is Netzen's pricing of his "Miracle MU" licensing agency fee.
"5 billion won to authorize the exclusive adaptation right, the time limit is 5 years, if the game work is not released and operated within one year, then Netzen can take back the exclusive adaptation right of "Miracle MU"......"
She Beichen couldn't help but be stunned when translating these requests made by Wangzen Company, this is not millions of won, and the company is in hundreds of millions.
Hearing She Beichen's words, Wei Kun frowned slightly, the price was higher than he expected, or Wang Chan opened his mouth.
5 billion won, according to the current exchange rate, this is not a small amount, compared to the adaptation rights of the browser game of "Legend", the adaptation fee of nearly 30 million yuan is a bit too expensive, and five years is too short.
"In this way, the exclusive adaptation rights of 5 billion won are no problem, but the time is 10 years, including but not limited to PC web adaptation rights......"
"No, no, no!" Jin Changgen shook his head after listening to She Beichen's words.
A long tug-of-war began......
