Chapter 342: Ten Year Contract

Several representatives of the South Korean side thought about it and finally thought that the cross-server company should want to seize the initiative.

As soon as this condition came out, the cross-server company, which was originally passive, immediately turned active.

At this time, it is not the size of the Chinese company that looks at it, but the size of the South Korean delegation. However, it is clear that the South Koreans are relatively narrow, and they are still hesitant to put such "good" conditions in front of them.

The South Korean delegation repeated the old tricks and went to Tencent and NetEase to reveal the latest conditions of cross-server companies. Ding Lei, the CEO of NetEase, said at the time that he was "incomparable" as soon as he heard about the ten-year contract and the fixed fee of $20 million a year.

Ding Lei is very suspicious that the president of the cross-server company, "Zhou Guangyue", has a brain in water, a 2D arcade game, such an ancient model, such a remote operation mode, and dares to sign for ten years.

Ten years is enough, the key is that the time is so long, and the conditions are still the best.

"Crazy!" After sending the South Korean delegation away, Ding Lei couldn't help but complain.

20 million US dollars is not a small amount, in case the DNF fails, it will be 200 million US dollars in ten years, equivalent to 1.6 billion yuan. Even if DNF's results are good, it is estimated that it will earn hundreds of millions of dollars after two or three years of popularity in China.

In 07 and 8, hundreds of millions of dollars were definitely a huge amount of money.

In fact, Hang Yu made a move and deliberately said that the ten-year contract was the US dollar, because he knew that the US dollar exchange rate would fall in the future. In other words, in the future, the actual benefits that the South Korean side can obtain will gradually decrease a lot.

In the end, several NetEase game companies also withdrew from the competition one after another, and collected funds to compete for other games. Only Tencent's old horse did not turn his face immediately after hearing this condition, but thought of Hang Yu, a young man.

Several other game companies don't know who is behind the cross-server, but Lao Ma knows, and he has a certain understanding of Hang Yu. Why did Hang Yu put forward such a seemingly incredible condition, Lao Ma always felt that there was a problem inside, so he didn't quit immediately.

When the Korean side saw that Lao Ma could still sit still in the face of such conditions, he was naturally happy to wait. Because several Koreans themselves were also confused and didn't know how to choose, they wanted to wait for Tencent's reaction.

It's just a pity that before Lao Ma can figure out Hang Yu's "conspiracy", other high-level executives of Tencent can't sit still. They had been influenced by the hype and had become suspicious of 2D games, and the conditions of a ten-year contract were absolutely unacceptable.

Not to mention ten years, 20 million dollars a year is difficult to accept!

"We don't have to waste any more time, we can choose other goals. ”

"According to our previous plan, even if we don't make money, we have to represent a large-scale online game, but this does not mean that we must represent DNF, there are still many options in front of us. ”

"If you only sign for three years, the price of $20 million is acceptable, but ten years is indeed too long. According to our analysis, the lifespan of a very popular online game is usually about three years, and it will be reduced by one year in the Chinese market. If a popular online game can live up to five years, it is already a particularly long life. ”

"Ten years later, the world doesn't know what it's going to become. ”

“.........”

After some discussion, Tencent's top executives finally decided that this condition could not be higher.

In other words, they can't come up with better terms and continue to compete with cross-server companies. When Tencent announced that it would withdraw from the competition, the South Korean side was stunned for a while, and finally understood the current situation.

In fact, they don't care what conspiracy the cross-server company is engaged in, the conditions are there, and it is their business to choose or not. The only question left is whether to choose five years or ten years, and whether to choose a share or a fixed agency fee.

The Korean side also believes that the lifespan of a game cannot be longer than five years.

So they quickly decided to choose a 10-year contract, and if DNF yellowed in a few years, they could continue to get money. It is safer to choose a fixed fee, the total assets of NEOPLE are less than 1 billion, and it is very good to earn 1.6 billion in ten years.

If they choose to share, DNF will lose money and they won't get a dime.

"CHAIRMAN, THE NEOPLE DELEGATION HAS MADE A CHOICE, THEY WANT TO SIGN A TEN-YEAR CONTRACT WITH A FIXED AGENCY FEE OF $20 MILLION A YEAR. The other party emphasized that if the DNF loses money, or the operation is suspended, we still have to pay this fee. Zhou Guangyue said.

Although other game companies were forced to retreat, Zhou Guangyue was not happy at all.

Because he also felt that the ten-year contract was too long, and 20 million US dollars a year was equivalent to paying more than 10 million yuan every month. Can DNF earn more than 10 million yuan a month? And it will persist for 10 years, Zhou Guangyue thinks it is impossible.

Even if you make such a profit a few years ago, if you lose money five years later, the money you earn will have to be given to the Korean side.

This deal, no matter how you think about it, is a loss!

"NO PROBLEM, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT ONCE THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED, NEOPLE CANNOT MEDDLE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE CROSS-SERVER COMPANY, LET ALONE TERMINATE THE CONTRACT, REGARDLESS OF HOW DNF OPERATES. Hang Yu said.

"In other words, we're going to buy out for 10 years. Zhou Guangyue said.

"Yes, you must pay attention to the content of the contract and do not allow any conditions that could break the contract. Hang Yu said.

"In this way, in case DNF loses money, we don't have a chance to throw this hot potato out, so it's better to leave a way back. Zhou Guangyue couldn't help but make a suggestion.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this at all, the agency game is just one of our company's businesses, even if it loses money, I'm not afraid. But if this game becomes popular, I don't want the Korean side to suddenly find a reason to take back the agency. Hang Yu said.

Zhou Guangyue came back to his senses at this time, and looked at this problem from the perspective of the cross-server company to the entire Jiangyan company, and finally understood why Hang Yu would put forward such a condition.

Indeed, $20 million is a huge amount of money for the cross-server subsidiary. But for the entire Jiangyan company, Hang Yu is fully capable of gambling on this, and if he loses, he will hurt a little.

"I see. Zhou Guangyue said.

"Even if you don't look at Jiang Yan Company, just look at the cross-server itself, you can also act as an agent for other games. I don't believe it, there are a few more games, none of which can gamble on the treasure. Hang Yu deliberately showed a gambler's attitude.

"That's right. Mr. Zhou declined to comment.

After figuring out Hang Yu's thoughts, Zhou Guangyue was no longer suspicious, but worked the contract, blocking all possibilities that could terminate the contract. After listening to Hang Yu's words, even he had a mentality that he might be able to bet on treasure.
