Chapter 213: I Have a Fork (Medium)

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the foreigner, because Zhang Yang and Tan Yudie were walking together, so everyone couldn't figure out for a while whether the foreigner's target was Tan Yudie or Zhang Yang, after all, foreigners were more direct. Although this foreigner is fifty or sixty years old, he likes a girl, and it is not unheard of to come up to confess, not to mention that the identity of this foreigner is not simple.

Even Tan Yudie thought that this foreigner was coming for her, and she had really encountered something similar, so Tan Yudie's face was immediately full of vigilance, and her right hand immediately held up her arm. looked down at Tan Yudie who was holding his arm, Zhang Yang couldn't laugh or cry, Zhang Yang didn't expect Tan Yudie's thoughts, but Tan Yudie's action was very similar to a woman's action of following her man to the street and meeting another woman.

The question is, this foreigner is a man, are you afraid that I will be snatched away by him? Zhang Yang was full of black lines, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Hi, hello Mr. Zhang." The old man named Fortu came over and said to Zhang Yang with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Fortu." Zhang Yang nodded slightly, this old man did not introduce his full name when he introduced himself, Zhang Yang also knew that his name was Fortu, and he didn't know the specific name.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhang Yang's body, and everyone began to look Zhang Yang up and down, including Tan Yudie, to be honest, Tan Yudie didn't expect that this old man actually knew Zhang Yang! Although Tan Yudie doesn't know this foreign old man, but he can live in a five-star hotel, and with such a large negotiation team, it is obvious that this company should not be so small.

Zhang Yang greeted Fortu, and quickly looked at the group of people next to Fortu, and at this look, Zhang Yang was startled, he actually saw an "acquaintance"! said acquaintance, because Zhang Yang was familiar with him, but people definitely didn't know Zhang Yang, this person was none other than Zhu Jun, the boss of Jiucheng Company!

I'm a fork, what is Zhu Jun doing here? Zhang Yang's head quickly swirled around several thoughts, the rise of ninety percent is a process of acting for a game company, the problem is that it is now 04 years. In 04, when I thought of this, I thought of a game that swept the world! Warcraft!

Yes, it's definitely World of Warcraft, otherwise, ninety percent would not have sent such a huge negotiation delegation, so the identity of this old man is about to come out, it should be the CEO of Blizzard or something, right? Although Zhang Yang used to be a Warcraft fan in his previous life, he just knew Blizzard, and Zhang Yang really didn't know who the president of Blizzard was and what he looked like.

"Thank you so much for what happened last time." Fortu thanked him earnestly again.

"No thanks, it's just a gesture." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhu, let me introduce you, this is what I told you, Zhang Yang, and my friend in China." Fortu turned around and said hello to Zhu Jun behind him. Zhu Jun walked over with a smile and shook Zhang Yang's hand, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang." ”

"Hello." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand and shook Zhu Jun's hand.

"Is this beautiful young lady a friend of Mr. Zhang? Why don't you tell us about it? After the two got to know each other, Fortu smiled politely and spoke. Zhang Yang hurriedly introduced Tan Yudie to them, and Tan Yudie also smiled and said hello to everyone.

"By the way, I was in too much of a hurry last time, and I forgot to tell Mr. Zhang, if Mr. Zhang, you need my help, just speak, isn't there an old Chinese saying that a little bit of grace should be reciprocated by a spring? Again, my name is Jean. Leonard. Fortu is President of Vivendi Group. Fortu looked at Zhang Yang seriously and said.

I'm dizzy! Zhang Yang was speechless directly, he originally thought that Fortu was also the president of Blizzard Entertainment, or vice president, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to kill that he was actually the president of Vivendi Group, it stands to reason that although Blizzard is one of Vivendi's subsidiaries, this level of negotiation is not worth Fortu, right?

Moreover, foreign companies, even the financial and operational affairs between subsidiaries and parent companies are separated, and if it is not a major matter, generally speaking, the parent company will not come forward.

"Well, Mr. Fortu, no, I said it was just a gesture, and it is really too much for you to thank you so solemnly." Zhang Yang shook his head, although Fortu is the president of the Vivendi Group, but the president belongs to the president, and he himself only has a small number of shares of the Vivendi Group, and it is the board of directors who can really make decisions.

Of course, no one can deny Fortu's influence, after all, if those directors did not trust Fortu, they would not let him take the position of president.

It's just that when I think of World of Warcraft, Zhang Yang has a grudge again, the Lich King, the Lich King, Zhang Yang's heart hurts forever, MLGBD Zhang Yang didn't play World of Warcraft at that time because ninety percent patronized the circle of money, and he didn't open the Lich King all year round, as for what was approved by the Ministry of Culture, Zhang Yang didn't believe it at all.

Everyone understands the situation in China, if you really want to approve it, you can actually approve it, otherwise, how did NetEase let the Lich King approve it later? And the subsequent cataclysmic information film approval speed is also very fast, although it is still a little slower than that of foreign countries, but it is much more reliable than ninety percent.

"Okay, then Mr. Zhang doesn't know if I can invite Mr. Zhang to dinner today?" Fortu continued to ask. I am afraid that the repeated invitations of the president of a company with tens of billions of dollars can only be publicized, and Fortu probably does not want to owe anyone favors, so this is why he will do this.

"That's it, if you have to thank me, Mr. Fortu, then let's do it, I heard that the World of Warcraft of Blizzard Entertainment, a subsidiary of your company, is about to be listed in China, I wonder if it can be handed over to me to operate?" Zhang Yang smiled and made a joke. He's just joking, even if Fortu is willing to give Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang can't take it, running such a big game, it's not about fun, the sales channels of point cards, the assumptions of the server, and customer service, and all kinds of things, if you don't have a mature operating company, you are ready to lose money. When he said this, Zhang Yang also paid attention to Zhu Jun's face by the way, and sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yang's words came out, Zhu Jun's face changed.

"Huh? Mr. Zhang: Do you have a game company? Fortu was stunned for a moment, then asked. What do you mean? Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, originally Zhang Yang thought that Fortu would be very embarrassed to refuse, and then he stopped mentioning the matter of returning favors, who knew that Fortu would ask about this matter very seriously.

"Uh, can you really give me the agency of World of Warcraft, Mr. Fortu?" Zhang Yang choked for a moment, whether the company is Fortu or not, he can't be the master, it is completely up to the board of directors to have the final say, what does Fortu mean by asking.

"Of course, it is impossible to agree directly, if Mr. Zhang has opened a game company, then we can sit down and negotiate, I came to China last time because you saved me, and then I came to China again, and I am not afraid to tell Mr. Zhang that these people behind me are the heads of Blizzard Entertainment, and we are talking to Nine Cities Company this time to negotiate the agency of World of Warcraft." Fortu said cheerfully.

As soon as Fortu's words came out, Zhang Yang knew that the contract between Blizzard Entertainment and Jiucheng had definitely not been reached, and it had not even entered the negotiation stage of the substantive surname, otherwise, the two parties would have signed a contract of intent first, and Fortu would not have said such a thing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang was a little moved, although it was impossible for him to get the agency of World of Warcraft, and he couldn't get it, but otherwise, change the owner of World of Warcraft? Anyway, Zhang Yang has played Warcraft for a few years in his last life, and he is completely sad for Jiucheng, and Zhang Yang can't forget the grievances of many Warcraft players at that time!

Although many domestic game companies are almost the same, relatively speaking, NetEase that later accepted World of Warcraft is quite okay, at least in terms of anti-plug-ins, anti-number theft, and protecting game accounts, NetEase is the best among all game companies in China.

Especially anti-plug-in, no matter what game is playable, even if it is a game with prop charges, in fact, its biggest enemy is plug-ins, and NetEase has really done a good job in plug-ins. No one can find fault with this, and NetEase is doing quite well in terms of number theft.

"I see, I didn't expect me to say it casually, and I actually guessed your purpose." Zhang Yang laughed and snorted, but his mind quickly began to turn his thoughts, should he do it or not?

"Does Mr. Zhang own his own game company? Hehe, although I can't make a decision, it's okay to let Mr. Zhang's company join the negotiations, and if the same conditions are met, I will give preference to Mr. Zhang's company. Fortu said with a smile. Although Zhu Jun next to him had a somewhat ugly face, he didn't say anything, after all, they had just made contact with Blizzard Entertainment for the first time, and they had no right to refute it if they contacted several companies at the same time.

Businessmen pursue profits, this is the same for everyone, but Fortu can say this in front of Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun still has a good impression of Fortu, at least it is better than people to contact in private, and then negotiate a contract, and then ninety percent will be thrown aside, which is too tragic.

"Well, I don't have a game company, but my friend does, and if possible, I hope we can still work together, of course, we will negotiate normally." Zhang Yang pondered for a while, and didn't say anything to death, if there is nothing possible, it's a big deal not to participate when the time comes, and it is naturally no problem to leave a talk.

"Okay, then I also hope that we have a chance to work together, then I won't bother the two of you, we have time to call each other." Fortu said with a slight smile.

"Okay, goodbye then." Zhang Yang nodded.

After they left, Tan Yudie looked Zhang Yang up and down with a strange face: "I said, are you a goblin?" How do you know everyone? Even the president of such a company worth tens of billions of dollars knows. ”

"Well, I didn't mean to." Zhang Yang choked for a moment, how did he know that an old man who was casually saved at that time was the CEO of Vivendi Group? This kind of thing is not much more likely than a cannon to hit a mosquito.

"Che, I'm sure again, I was right to bring you over, maybe our negotiator also has someone you know, and you can still help negotiate." Tan Yudie said with a smile.

Zhang Yang was speechless for a while, he is not a god, how can he know so many company CEOs, speaking of which, there are only a few of these people Zhang Yang knows, one is Gao Gang, and the other is Pan Hu, but Pan Hu is still an enemy, if it is a negotiation with Pan Hu, I am afraid that Zhang Yang will be a disadvantage. Fortu, on the other hand, was a complete accident.

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't speak, Tan Yudie seemed to remember something, and quickly asked, "By the way, what about the game?" Do you want to get its agency? Now the domestic online game market is indeed a huge cake, if you want to do it, you now have money in hand, I can invest in shares, and I will leave it to you to operate. ”

"How much can the two of us get together? Buying the franchise of this game is not a small amount. Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, in his previous life, Zhang Yang had checked the price of ninety percent of the dealership of Warcraft.

A $3 million signing fee, followed by a follow-up royalty of $51.3 million, payable over four years ranging from $1.6 million to $3.7 million per quarter. There is also an investment of $6.8 million in the early stage of development and $13 million in the later stage of promotion. The total is close to more than 600 million RMB, you know, the current exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is still more than 8 yuan.

And Blizzard also has to share in sales, so much money is not something that can be played by publicity.

"How much?" Tan Yudie obviously didn't understand this, and as the two walked towards the conference room, Tan Yudie asked. "More than a billion, anyway, it must be indispensable." Zhang Yang didn't elaborate, shook his head and said.

"So much? No way? Can a game earn it back? Tan Yudie had an incredible feeling, after all, whoever heard this number also felt a little terrifying.

"You remove that word, you can definitely earn it back, I don't know if you play games or not, but Blizzard produces it, it must be a high-quality product, this is not for fun." Zhang Yang smiled.

"Well, if you can earn it back, it's not impossible to make so much money, isn't there a bank?" Tan Yudie tilted her head and pondered.

Zhang Yang is a little dizzy, the bank is opened by your family? was a little speechless, and said goodbye quickly: "Forget it, I'll just say it casually." ”
