Chapter 155: Negotiations

In the final analysis, Jung Young-seok's influence in Naxon is no better than that of Cho Cangting, whom he regards as a loner. The technical content of pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info cartoon casual games is relatively low, and there is basically no chance of winning industry awards. From the perspective of Naxon's decision-makers, since the project of Lodumani Studio has no chance of honor, then your duty is to make money for the company, if you can't win awards and can't make money, then what is the use of the company supporting you?

To be honest, in fact, Zhao Cangting's evaluation of the airship is a bit exaggerated. Although the popularity of this game has indeed dropped sharply, it is not to the point of "not making money", regardless of the R&D costs, if the operating costs are calculated alone, the current income of the airship can still keep the project and the team running. According to the assessment of the marketing department, this game can barely last for at least about a year before it really makes ends meet.

If there is a year as a buffer, Jung Young-seok will have at least three or four chances to revamp it, and maybe he will be able to break a new path and bring this half-dead game back to life.

But Jung Young-seok also knows very well that this is just his wishful thinking. Whether you can make money depends on who you compare with, in addition to its own products, Naxon has also acquired and represented a large number of various types of online games, and there are many projects with better revenues than their own airship.

Perhaps in the eyes of the company's decision-makers, rather than letting this game that has shown signs of decline continue to operate, it is better to fire this uncompetitive sub-team and free up resources such as servers, customer service staff, and advertising to other games.

Although in the matter of targeting Threesome Studio, Lee Eun-seok, the producer of Hellcat Studio, is an ally of the same trench as himself. However, there is also a substantial competition between the two studios, Lodumani and Hellcat, and if the company really wants to cut the airship project, it is basically impossible to count on Lee Eun-seok to help, and maybe people will happily add fuel to the fire.

So on this issue, Zheng Yingxi really doesn't have the confidence to carry it to the end with Zhao Cangting.

The Lodumani studio itself has already been marginalized in Naxon, and the removal of another sub-team would be a serious blow to Jung Young-seok's own prestige and the morale of all members of the studio.

Moreover, if it is really necessary to dismiss the airship team, it is impossible to dismiss all of them, and some of the more capable employees still have to be retained, so the other three teams have to be adjusted...... As a result, the other three teams will inevitably have a lot of people's hearts for a while.

If it is not done properly, it may cause the entire studio to be demoralized, or even collapse like dominoes.

Jung Young-seok is not a stupid person, how could he take this risk by gambling on the premise that it is not a last resort?

After thinking carefully about all kinds of possible situations, Zheng Yingxi's attitude quickly softened, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, and said cheekily: "Director Zhao, you are right, in fact, we didn't have any conflicts before, this incident should be just a misunderstanding......

Zhao Cangting sneered and exchanged a look with Kwon Yong-hwan, since this guy Zheng Ying-seok showed a soft posture, then he could sit down and talk.

really completely tore his face, and put the proposal to take coercive measures against the running airship to the council for a vote, first of all, it may not be passed, and secondly, even if it is passed, it will not be of substantial benefit to Zhao Cangting and the threesome studio, it is just a bad breath. But the price is to form a deep grudge with Jung Young-seok and Lodumani Studio, and it is not cost-effective to weigh the gains and losses.

To put it bluntly, even if the Lodumani studio can be weakened now, the resources freed up will not be distributed to the threesome studio, and in the end, it is not cheaper for the fisherman of Hellcat.

Before coming to Lodumani Studio to find a venue, Zhao Cangting and Quan Yonghuan had a head with Che Guanglong. What made Zhao Cangting very pleased was that Che Guanglong did not express his intention to fight with Zheng Yingxi or Lodumani Studio, but only asked to make a gesture of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and let the other party stop the small movements behind him, which was the only requirement, and everything else was left to Zhao Cangting to decide.

In this way, Zhao Cangting and Zheng Yingxi have more room for negotiation.

"First of all, the Lodumani studio's side must ensure that all unfavorable actions against the threesome studio are immediately stopped, which is the basis for solving the 'misunderstanding'. Zhao Cangting said with a cold face, "If there is a next time, I don't have the patience to come to discuss with you again, let's meet directly on the council." ”

"Director Zhao, don't worry, it's a misunderstanding, we don't have a contradiction, we are all game development studios under Naxon, how can we deliberately target you?" Zheng Yingxi smiled and reassured.

In the face of Zheng Yingxi's lazy style, Zhao Cangting was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, the words have been made clear, the big deal is really to fight to the death, and I am not afraid of the other party's backtracking.

"Secondly, please Zheng Productions put together a compilation of Lodumani Studio's game promotion materials for me. It is necessary to include relevant information such as the contact person of the advertising platform, the advertising producer and the specific price and cost, I hope that Zheng Production can cooperate a little, if you have any tricks in this information......"

Zhao Cangting didn't finish his words, and looked at Zheng Yingxi meaningfully, with an expression of "you can try it if you have a kind" written on his face.

This is obviously in preparation for the promotion of the Korean version of "Six Tribulations: Records of the Gods and Demons of the Flood Desolation". In fact, the Korean version of this project has been largely completed, after all, there are three full-time translators in the threesome studio, except for helping to do some oral translation for the communication between the Celestial Dynasty employees and Korean employees when needed, all the other working time is spent on the Korean version of the game, so the progress is almost synchronized with the Chinese version, and the third proofreading is currently underway.

So as long as the closed beta on the Celestial Empire side goes well, the Korean version of the closed beta can also be put on the agenda.

Speaking of which, although Zhao Cangting's father is the former president of Naxon, he will not handle the specific promotion of a certain game at all in his position; Quan has been working in the R&D department of Naxon Company, and basically has nothing to do with publicity and promotion; Zhao Cangting's own experience in game development is not much more than a blank sheet of paper, so naturally there is no need to mention it. To sum up, the biggest shortcoming of the threesome studio is that the channels for publicity and promotion are almost equal to zero.

Of course, Zhao Cangting can ask for help from Xu Min, the representative director of the alliance, or Jin Zongze, the head of R&D at Neople. It's just that as a subsidiary acquired by Naxon, the overall strength of NEOPLE is far from that of the head office, including the channels for publicity and promotion. Compared with Lodumani Studio, which has the most senior projects under Naxon, there is a certain gap in the influence of the advertising platform, the level of advertising production companies and the price treatment that Neople cooperates with.

Moreover, the partnership between the advertising platform and the advertising production company is not exclusive, even if Lodumani Studio shares its own publicity and promotion channels with Threesome Studio, it will not lose the slightest to itself, it is purely to see if Jung Young-seok is in the mood to help with this.

If it were normal, no matter how Zhao Cangting lowered his body and pleaded, Zheng Yingxi might not be willing to give this face, but today Zhao Cangting took Zheng Yingxi's sore feet, and this matter does not require Lodumani Studio to pay any substantial price, so Zheng Yingxi also pinched his nose and agreed.

"No problem, give me two days to sort out and summarize the relevant information, and then send it to Director Zhao's office. ”

After agreeing to two conditions in a row, Jung Young-seok felt that the matter was almost over, and was about to send the two uninvited guests out of the door with an unhappy face, when Kwon Yong-hwan spoke quietly.

"Young-seok, did you say this was a misunderstanding?"

Jung Young-seok nodded busily.

"So in other words, it wasn't you who instructed it, but the people below who did it without permission?" Kwon Yong-hwan said step by step.

Zheng Yingxi's face became ugly again, I also admitted the punishment and admitted it, what kind of trouble do you want to make so unforgiving?

Quan Yonghuan didn't care about him, and said straight down: "Since this is the case, this kind of guy who is arbitrary and makes trouble without permission will not be able to teach him a lesson." So the Qin Xiuhe who went to the threesome studio to dig people, don't let me see him in the lodumani studio again in the future. ”

Zheng Yingxi hesitated and turned his head to look at Zhao Cangting's expression.

"Uncle Quan's meaning is what I mean. Zhao Cangting smiled and nodded.

Jung Young-seok hesitated for a moment and sighed heavily. That's it, compared to a team and a person, it is naturally needless to say which is more important. It's a big deal to appease Qin Xiuhe, expel him first, and then recruit him back when there is a turnaround for a while.

Who made him do things like this, and caused me so much trouble!

Zheng Yingxi naturally wouldn't have thought at this moment that all of Qin Xiuhe's actions were the result of his unilateral forced demands.

Zhao Cangting and Quan Yonghuan turned around and left satisfied. Jung Young-seok sent them out the door with a stiff smile on his face while cursing the two men and the damn threesome studio in his stomach.

At the safety exit of the corridor, the members of the Lodumani studio, who were standing in twos and threes chatting to kill time, saw Director Zhao and Senior Agent Kwon walking into the elevator and walked back to the office one after another.

The nervous Qin Xiuhe was stopped by Zheng Yingxi at the door.

After turning his head to see that the other subordinates had entered the door, Zheng Yingxi said in a low voice with a straight face:

"Xiuhe, I've wronged you, let's go home and rest for a while......"

P.S. Today, Xu Xian posted a picture on ins that is suspected of exposing the relationship, oops...... If that's the case, the outline will have to be overhauled......
