Carl looked helplessly at Andy, who had occupied his office. Andy flipped through the company's financial statements while listening to the work report of the CEO of the game company on the phone.
"I'm sorry, Blair, you know, I've been going crazy with the paparazzi lately, I need to go out and hide, and as for some of the problems that arise in the development of the game, we can solve them in a video conference, and I believe in the capabilities of the two development teams. ā
Andy closed the financial statements, rubbed the Jinming acupoint, listened to the question Blair said on the phone, the corners of his mouth twitched, and replied: "OpenGL game engine problem, I just know a rough idea, um... In this way, you set up a game engine development team in the company, whether it is recruiting or looking for a headhunting company to poach people, let the new department be established as soon as possible, the future home game console market will be bigger and bigger, we can't always use other people's engines, our own development is the king. YES, ONCE THEY ARE FORMED, LET THEM SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF OPENGL FIRST, MINECRAFT IS THE TOP PRIORITY, AND I HOPE TO HAVE THE FIRST VERSION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. ā
"Boss, Minecraft is on sale as a PC version, should we find technical support to prevent piracy?" Blair suggested.
"No, no, Blair, I understand what you mean, but for our new company, anti-piracy will do more harm than good, and what we should be thinking about now is to create greater value, make a name for yourself, so that players can play better games, let them play the games they want to play, instead of adding some messy anti-piracy system to reduce the gold content of the game itself and make players feel disgusted. ā
Andy knows that no matter how many new DRM anti-piracy technologies are launched by Denuvo in the future, they will be cracked, the most important thing is that this system affects the normal operation of the game very much, so that players are unhappy that they will not play, unless the game you make is unique and irreplaceable, rather than spending money to buy anti-theft technology, it is better to form a battle platform at that time, which is the best anti-theft means.
"When we get one or two versions perfected, we can set up a battle platform, which is the best way to prevent theft, okay, let's do it, if there is something to call. Hanging up the phone, Andy quickly turned to the last page of the financial statement, saw the numbers on it, groaned slightly, and looked up at Carl.
"Aren't the royalties of novels settled semi-annually?
"Hehe, isn't this to strengthen cooperation between each other, they are afraid that you will be poached by other publishing houses, so naturally they will not default. Carl explained with a sly expression, handed Andy another file, and continued: "This is the advertising revenue of the first season of the Got Talent from the UK, 2.5 million pounds. ā
"Ha~~~ So the advertising revenue of independent TV stations alone is 78 million US dollars, 2.5 million pounds is more than 4 million US dollars, hey, it is really incomparable. Andy complained a little depressed.
"Hehe, it's already very good, this is a trickle, every season will receive an advertising share, the most depressed should be the TV station, I just called NBC, they will also put the first season's advertising share into the company's account as soon as possible, about 5 million, plus royalties, this time, our company's fixed income has reached tens of millions of dollars. Carl said with a red face of pride.
"Well, it just so happens that I'm short of money now, so let's transfer 5 million to my account first, and then transfer 5 million when NBC's money arrives, and put the remaining 1 million on the company's account for daily expenses. Andy thought that he still had less than 5 million funds in his account, and felt that his hand was still a little tight, so he decided to draw 10 million and transfer it to his own account.
Carl's fat face twitched slightly, the money was withdrawn by Andy just before he could cover the heat, and it was really a bit of a pain in the RAU, okay, anyway, the original role of this company was Andy's cash machine, and he nodded a little stupidly.
"Damn, how do you look at your expression, you are still reluctant? Dead fatty, I have already given you an annual salary of one million, what do you want to do? Besides, I am really short of money, I will be very short of money before 08 years, so no matter what plan you have for the company, you have to wait, once the time passes, I will not draw blood from the company again. Andy saw Carl's constipated expression and scolded angrily.
"Cut, the copyright fee of the two variety shows is 30 million, and before you even left the account, you intercepted it into the account of the investment company, and now you want to take away 10 million, it's strange that I can be happy. Karl pursed his lips and said with a look of disgrief.
Andy understood that Carl regarded the copyright company as his own business, and he was helpless and depressed about Andy's blood-pumping behavior, so he could only smile and sigh: "Carl, I understand your feelings, but I'm really useful, so let's go to record in the afternoon, I will stay in the company with the profits from this single EP, how about it?"
Carl's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "A word is a certainty! I have read a few novels, I want to buy the copyright, and add the company's reserves, after all, the company can't just operate your novels if it wants to develop, and I inquired, several film companies are packaging and selling the rights of some old movies, and I want to take them down, what do you think?"
Andy looked at Carl with some surprise, listening to his enthusiastic company planning, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he became this copyright company The original intention was to serve him personally, to put it bluntly, he didn't want to spend money and energy to develop, let Carl manage, but also because the only person around him who could be trusted was him at that time.
Now it seems that Carl is really attentive, and the development route he proposed is also very stable, not following the example of other Hollywood companies to invest in films, but choosing to acquire the rights of some obscure novels and old movies.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with your train of thought. In this way, you are a little tired, now that the influence of the talent show has spread, you contact the TV station of the country that is interested in buying the copyright, continue to sell the copyright, the price can be appropriately reduced, it is best to let the major countries in the world see the variety show, the money from the sale will stay in the company, and I will write a license to you in a while. ā
"Haha, great, thank you for your support, Andy. "Carl doesn't really care much about how much money the company can bring him right now, he's looking for success in his career, he wants to be big, powerful.
In a country where interests are paramount, controlling resources means power to a certain extent, and others will respect and flatter, now that Andy has handed over resources to him, how can he not be excited.
A seemingly simple authorization document that contained Andy's trust and the authority assigned to him, so he was very excited and moved.
