Chapter 341: Undisciplined Koreans
Estimating that the propaganda should be effective, Hang Yu asked Zhou Guangyue to negotiate conditions with the South Korean side again.
Obviously, relying on publicity alone can't make Lao Ma back down, but the cross-server company is also willing to pay 10 million agency fees first, and it can be promoted for free on the cooperative company, Jiang Yan's Weibo.
Previously, the cross-server company had been negotiating with the South Korean side in the name of NetDragon, and the Korean side was not aware of the power of Weibo. After deliberately learning about it, the Korean side was immediately attracted by the user base of Weibo and preferred the cross-server company more.
But considering that Tencent also has QQ, the Korean side still did not agree immediately, and went to Lao Ma to negotiate. Of course, the South Korean side's behavior of waiting for the price to sell has made all major Chinese companies very dissatisfied, after all, no one likes to be played as a monkey.
Shanda was not very interested in DNF, so he simply withdrew from the competition, and then Jiucheng also withdrew from the competition. Both companies have preferred targets, such as Nine Cities, which values an online game called "Miracle World", and also says that it is the pinnacle of 3D online games.
Basically, cross-server and Tencent are fighting, Tencent learned that the cross-server company also raised the upfront agency fee to 10 million, and used Weibo as a promotional condition, and immediately realized that Jiang Yan Company had joined the competition.
"It turned out that this kid Hang Yunshan was playing tricks behind him, and he made it clear that he wanted to disrupt our plan to enter the online game field. Lao Ma guessed that Hang Yu was the mastermind behind the scenes, and his teeth were itching, and then he also put forward conditions: Isn't it just publicity, we Tencent can also use QQ and other products to bind publicity.
Tencent QQ's user base is larger than Weibo's, and there are many gamers, although they play casual games, but overall it's better than Weibo, and South Korea immediately favored Tencent again.
However, the Korean side is also a little depressed, that is, cross-server and Tencent only mention conditions such as publicity, and no longer mention money. Especially after the conditions of the two companies were synchronized, the cross-server side suddenly pressed it and said that it would be considered again.
Considering that it means that the cross-server company may add more money, so the Korean side can only wait slowly.
"Chairman, we only add conditions other than money, I'm afraid Tencent will not give in so easily. In terms of publicity, Tencent is better than us, and the South Korean side is now more inclined to them. Zhou Guangyue said.
"You can't easily add money, otherwise it will really turn into a war for getting rich, and in the end let the South Korean side pick up the cheap. To make the Korean side feel that 10 million agent prepaid is already a lot, we need to consider it carefully. Hang Yu said.
"The problem is not the attitude of the Korean side, but the bottom line of Tencent. Zhou Guangyue said.
"Although the publicity has not been fully effective, I believe that Tencent's bottom line must have been lowered a lot. You should delay for another week and try to have as much contact with the Korean side as possible, which shows our sincerity and the advantages of our two companies. But the actual benefits must be grasped steadily, not easily promised, and I will give you instructions in a week. Hang Yu said.
"Okay, I see. Zhou Guangyue said.
Zhou Guangyue continued to play to his strengths, no matter whether Hang Yu's orders were good or bad, he would complete them wholeheartedly. His idea is very simple, there is still a chance to succeed in cooperation, and even if it fails, he can reveal this paragraph as soon as possible and go to represent a new game.
In the following week, Zhou Guangyue took the initiative to contact the Korean side every day, and was very enthusiastic to analyze with them the advantages of the alliance between NetDragon and Jiangyan, as well as his own love and sincerity for DNF.
Seeing that he had such a good attitude, Han Fang thought that the cross-server company was really keen on DNF, and on the surface he was polite to Zhou Guangyue, but in his heart he regarded this sincerity as a bargaining chip, hoping to squeeze out better conditions.
Zhou Guangyue had already seen the hypocrisy of the South Korean side, and secretly wondered how Hang Yu would break this deadlock. Unconsciously, a week passed, and the Korean side gradually became a little impatient, because Zhou Guangyue said it nicely, but when it came to money, he bit it very tightly.
The Han side is not a fool, and faintly noticed that Zhou Guangyue was talking about it, so he took the initiative to make a request.
"They said that 10 million prepayment is not the key, but how much money we will give them every year after we act as an agent for DNF. The South Korean side's demands are excessive, on the one hand, it wants a fixed agency fee, and on the other hand, it also needs a 30% share. Zhou Guangyue said.
"I want a fixed agency fee, probably because I am worried that DNF will not be popular in China. I am afraid that DNF will make money if it becomes popular, so I want to share it, and it seems that the Korean side has thought very well. Hang Yu said.
"I don't think we can accommodate them in everything, we have to take risks, we will pay for the failure of the operation, and let them pick up the cheap if the operation is successful, how can there be such a cheap good thing in the world." Zhou Guangyue talked with the South Korean side for some days, and he saw through the faces of the South Koreans.
"Let them choose between a share and a fixed agency fee, depending on the length of the contract. Up to 10% or 10 million fixed fees over two years, and 15% or fifteen million fixed fees over three years. If you sign for five years, you can share 20% or 20 million agency fees, and if you sign for 10 years, you can share 30% or 30 million yuan a fixed fee per year. Hang Yu said.
"The longer the time, the better the conditions, aren't you afraid that the DNF will lose in China?" asked Zhou Guangyue.
"Since I asked you to fight for this game, I am naturally more optimistic about it. Think about it, if we succeed in operating DNF, but the Korean side is not satisfied with our conditions, and we want to sell it to someone else when the contract is renewed next time, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? If you can get it for ten years at once, you may lose a lot, but if you succeed, you will make a lot of money. Hang Yu said.
"Uh, okay. Zhou Guangyue was still skeptical in his heart, but he didn't like to say more, so he did it.
Don't underestimate Hang Yu's condition, so that the multiple-choice question will be thrown to the Korean side, and it will be their turn to be embarrassed.
Because the ten-year signing is very attractive to the South Korean side.
Whether it is South Korea or Tencent and other companies, it is not certain whether DNF will succeed in China. They will consider a very important condition, that is, the longevity of the game, usually a game can be popular for three or four years is very good.
There are so many games around the world, and there are a lot of game updates every year, and the technology is also becoming more and more optimized. How many years can a 2D arcade game last? This is a question that the Korean side itself is worried about.
If you can sign it directly for ten years, then the lifespan of this game will be directly determined to be ten years. Because even if DNF dies in a few years and loses money, the cross-server company will have to pay them as usual.
"Why did the cross-server company come up with such a condition, a ten-year contract, it's incredible. As soon as Zhou Guangyue's conditions came out, the Koreans themselves wondered if DNF was so good, or was the cross-server company engaged in a conspiracy.
