Chapter 343: It's You Who Plays (Part I)
"Then I wonder if your company has any requirements for detailed contract terms?" Mike is not stupid, he naturally knows that no matter which company it is, he will not be stupid enough to give away benefits to others for nothing, at least the Star Group has no reason to do so, unless the chairman of the Star Group is an idiot and the CEO is a waste, maybe there will be this possibility. 、
"Of course, there must be requirements, but as we just said, if your company puts forward such conditions, then our company has the right to use all the image rights of the game signed with your company, of course, we will not slander, destroy the reputation of Blizzard, and have any impact on Blizzard." Zhang Yang said.
"Is that all there is to it?" Mike looked at Zhang Yang and felt incredible, after all, this kind of thing can't have only such a condition, right? Is the Star Group a little too stupid? For Mike, the use of his company's game characters is actually not a big deal, no matter which company's game is, are there any internal characters and materials that are not used after the launch?
How many will pay Blizzard royalties? Basically, there are so many people, and Blizzard can't sue them one by one, so in Mike's opinion, it doesn't matter, but for Zhang Yang, this is the most critical point for him to implement the next step. Although it is said that such eagerness will definitely make the other party suspicious, but it is not okay not to mention this condition, sooner or later it will have to be mentioned, Zhang Yang simply made it clear.
And if Blizzard doesn't agree, the Star Group will naturally not sign this contract, Zhang Yang will grasp it now, Mike has taken a fancy to the special effects production level of the Star Group, and more importantly, this production is free.
"The main conditions are nothing else, secondly, we just hope to reach a long-term partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, which is also beneficial to both of us, Star Group has the obligation to help its allies promote the game, and Blizzard Entertainment has the obligation to help Star Group promote Star Group products, do you think there is anything wrong with this?" Zhang Yang said with a calm face.
Chen Xiaowei's hand next to her trembled slightly, but her face did not change at all, and no one noticed the change in Chen Xiaowei, but Chen Xiaowei had already screamed in her heart, treacherous! Incomparably treacherous! After being the CEO of Star Group for so long, Chen Xiaowei naturally understands the ambition of Star Group, or the ambition of publicity, Star Group will not be satisfied with the development of one product at all, and it will definitely be a diversified company in the future.
With this contract, how many products does Blizzard advertise for Star Group, and how many products does Star Group promote for Blizzard? With Blizzard's status in the game industry and Blizzard's reputation among players, these players are undoubtedly young people, and these young people will definitely be potential users of the high-tech Star Group's products.
For example, at present, the photon defense software of the Star Group, World of Warcraft players all over the world are basically using it, not only in China, under the propaganda of Jiucheng, players who are ready to play World of Warcraft have downloaded Photon Defense, but players in other countries around the world have also downloaded Photon Defense, and more than in China!
In fact, our computer hardware, whether it is a brand machine or a self-installed machine, the hardware performance that the system can play is about 50%, and it can reach 60% is a good system.
And photon defense software can make this hardware play up to 70% or more! It can be seen from this that the excellence of photon defense, in fact, not only players are playing, but also some other high-tech companies in the world are also researching photon defense, and there is no doubt that photon defense optimizes the system.
However, it is a pity that although Zhang Yang is not cunning, the technical staff of these companies have no way to crack the protection measures of the software for the time being, and there is no way to crack it, so naturally they cannot study how photon defense does this. So don't look at the current Star Group seems to be not very famous in the ears of ordinary users, but in the major high-tech companies, in fact, the Star Group is already quite famous!
The latest Nebula software launched by Star Group has no plans to be listed, but it does not mean that Nebula Software cannot be promoted, so as soon as Zhang Yang's words came out, Chen Xiaowei immediately reacted, and directly scolded Zhang Yang in her heart for being treacherous, who said that this guy can't negotiate? This is very negotiable!
Page 2 reads as follows:
Maybe other people don't care about this, because in their opinion, the development of the Star Group will not be fast, so after Zhang Yang said this, Chen Xiaowei is sure that Mike's side will think, but thinking is thinking, Blizzard will definitely not think too much! At least in Blizzard's view, the current Star Group is just a new company with a registered capital of 50 million and total assets of less than 100 million!
But Chen Xiaowei stayed in the company for a while, and even Chen Xiaowei herself didn't realize that she was full of confidence in this group, and as for what kind of land the Star Group could go to in the future, even she was full of longing.
"This can be, but we need specific negotiations, of course, the Star Group has given us such a big concession, and we can't let the Star Group suffer, if our negotiations are successful, you
Our products, Blizzard, will officially issue a statement to promote your products, such as the photon defense software currently under your company, and we will select it to become a must-have for Blizzard's games, and even if we deepen our cooperation, we can play in the game
The package is embedded with a photon defense function. Mike is probably embarrassed by the flamboyant concession, and it is very rare that he also takes the initiative to give up a little profit.
Of course, let it out
This bit of stuff is not a loss for Blizzard.,Photon Defense will definitely continue to use it as long as people who have used it.,Blizzard recommends this.,The good thing to say is to be responsible for your own players.,No player will scold them.,If you use the feeling.
If it's quite good, the first of these players will not boast that the software of the Star Group is easy to use, but that Blizzard Games is considerate of the players, and the second will be the turn of the Star Group.
It seems that Blizzard has made a little concession, but in fact, this concession is much more beneficial to them than Star Group.
However, negotiation is naturally the best win-win situation, and of course it is not without benefits for the Star Group. "Haha, it looks like we have a good start to negotiations, so we can start a new round of negotiations on the details." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Yang set the tone here, Mike and they discussed it in a whisper a few times, and after confirming that there were no problems, then everyone began a new round of negotiations on the details, which naturally mentioned Blizzard about Warcraft
The new expansion of the world, Burning Crusade, Blizzard means that the Star Group will make a promotional video for Blizzard about the new expansion of World of Warcraft, and then wait for Blizzard to promote this expansion, and then release these promotional videos, and then again
Videos of other Blizzard games were released.
However, the Star Group naturally will not agree to this, because in this way, the publicity of the World of Warcraft is naturally maximized, especially the promotion of the new video is naturally quite good, but it cannot reach the maximum extent for the Star Group.
After all, what Star Group cares about is not how well your game is promoted, but that the effect of my video production is recognized by everyone around the world, as for what the flesh of this video is, Star Group doesn't care, even if it is said to be a C. AV of manga characters is OK.
But naturally not for Blizzard, the two sides did not have so much entanglement in other aspects, and many terms were passed easily, including the article proposed by Zhang Yang, as long as the Star Group helped Blizzard make a game, then the Star Group has the right to use all the characters of Blizzard's game freely.
Note! It is free to use, that is, the Star Group can use the characters of Blizzard games as other commercial projects, and there is no need to apply for special Blizzard. Mike: They're not stupid, and naturally they've noticed this
point, but for them, they really can't think of what commercial purposes the Star Group can do with these game characters of Blizzard At this point, after fighting for some benefits with the Star Group, Mike and they gave up
Finish.
After all, the Star Group has paid a lot, and Blizzard simply said that in addition to these intangible copyrights, the others really didn't pay any price! However, both sides still stated that Star Group could not use these characters to tarnish Blizzard's image.
Naturally, the Star Group has no opinion on this point, but when is this video promoted, the two sides have a big disagreement, mainly because of this time, the Star Group wants to release it as soon as possible, but Blizzard doesn't quite agree, and the two sides are mainly entangled in this.
Page 3 reads as follows:
As for Star Group making these games C. How long the video will take, Mike deliberately ignored it, while the Star Group knew it in their hearts, and both sides tacitly did not mention this issue. But Mike: Their hearts are still quite shocked!
After all, Star Group didn't mention this, and also asked for the release of game videos in advance, obviously Star Group understands the time it takes to make game videos, otherwise, they wouldn't ask for that. In other words, in other words, Star Group is sure to make this game video in a short time!
The negotiations reached an impasse, and the morning passed like this, and at noon, it was naturally the Star Group to make the east, inviting everyone from Blizzard Entertainment to dinner, Chen Xiaowei's attention was very good, since the foreigner's way is not good, then use the Chinese way! Talk about things at the wine table!
For the enthusiasm of the Star Group, Mike and they were naturally quite happy, both sides were in a hall, set up three tables, and the main personnel were all seated at one table. Zhang Yang came up and toasted Mike and them a few glasses of wine, foreigners are used to drinking red wine, but this is China, Zhang Yang let them serve liquor, and Mike They are not easy to refuse.
However, he resolutely said that he would not drink more, so as not to delay the afternoon negotiations, and Zhang Yang nodded with a smile and agreed. After coming up, Zhang Yang gave a few girls a look, and then asked for a few bottles of Wuliangye to take to the hotel
Drinking red wine goblets inside, one person poured a full glass of white wine for these foreigners, and before Mike and them could react, Zhang Yang said very formally with Ying's father: "In our China, there is a particular one, that is, Yuan."
If you are a guest, the host must entertain well, otherwise, it will be the host's poor hospitality, which is the biggest insult to the host, but because we have to negotiate in the afternoon, I won't let you drink more, but this first cup is open to the table
Wine is a must. I'm the master, I'll drink three cups first, you decide for yourself. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yang didn't give Mike time to react, and directly drank the liquor in the goblet in front of him, and then Zhang Yang poured the cup in front of him full, and then everyone looked at it dumbfounded.
After drinking, Zhang Yang looked at Mike with very serious eyes and said, "Because we have to negotiate in the afternoon, I won't let you buzz more, it's up to you now." ”
Chen Xiaowei's eyes have completely changed, just like they are looking at an out-and-out beast! A bottle of Wuliangye just pours such three goggles! Zhang Yang just dried up a bottle without saying a word, and his face didn't change color and his heart didn't beat, if it wasn't for the liquor that the waiter had just brought and they had just opened, everyone thought that Zhang Yang was drinking white water.
Is liquor drunk like this? Tan Yudie and the others were also a little dizzy, this liquor was called by Tan Yudie, although it is not the highest degree in the middle of Wuliangye, but it is not the lowest, enough liquor is not fake, right? Why didn't you find out before that Zhang Yang's drinking was so exaggerated?
Mike and the others looked at each other, and Zhang Yang's words were all there, and they looked at each other for a while, and naturally they were embarrassed to say no? People drank three, and they even said respect or disrespect. "Well, well, let's have this one." Mike and the others immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him, then signaled to Zhang Yang, and drank it directly.
Seeing Mike and them it, Zhang Yang's face finally began to become weird, deleted. , although I don't know how much these foreigners drink, but after being hungry all morning, I came up with more than three taels of liquor, and I didn't get dizzy. As for him
...... himself, it seems that Zhang Yang has been drunk by his grandfather since he was a child, in Zhang Yang's words, not long after Zhang Yang was full moon, his grandfather secretly dipped his chopsticks in the white wine to feed Zhang Yang, saying that it was a man who couldn't drink enough.
