Chapter 90: Blizzard is dragging?

"I can see clearly: in fact, China has been a road for 20 years, and everything that wants to spend foreign exchange and let foreigners earn Chinese's money will be tried to obstruct it in every possible way. Especially when this thing is not a necessity of life, it is a luxury spiritual consumption, then it is especially stuck.

However, if you let foreigners make money, buy foreign goods, and the ultimate goal is to make more money from foreigners, just like the company in the bonded zone that imports foreign chips and processes them and then sells finished electronic products back to foreign countries, the state will support you, and it is no problem to spend as much foreign exchange as you want - the so-called harmony and disharmony are just a ruler, loose if you want to loosen it, and tighten it if you want to be tight. ”

Coming out of the Ministry of Culture and sitting in the car, Gu Mojie put his arms around Fei Liluo's waist and sighed self-deprecatingly.

The domestic government is always only interested in one thing, and spending foreign exchange is particularly enjoyable: when you spend foreign exchange, it is to earn more foreign exchange.

Fei Liluo gently leaned on Gu Mojie's shoulder and asked softly, "Is there a countermeasure then?" Director Yang is willing to give us this wind, which is already righteous. ”

Gu Mojie sighed: "How can it be so easy, let's grasp this tone first and get in touch with the people of Blizzard first." Let's see if there are any adaptation licenses or anything like that you can buy, and fool Director Yang's fig leaf over. ”

……

Two weeks later, the domestic gaming industry is boiling.

"Ninety percent of the food s! Pig Juncao mud horse! We're going to burn the expedition! ”

"Did you hear that? It's the mongrel of Zhu Fungus, who refuses to raise the price for Blizzard with a share, and then Blizzard won't sign an agreement with him for an expansion film! ”

"That's right! Upstairs is not Chinese! Let the Americans lie there and make a lot of money from the Chinese, do you still feel cool? You traitor! ”

"3 of you're a five-hairer bought by Zhu Yan! Lao Tzu loves to play, and he loves to let Blizzard make money, what's wrong? How can a second-class trafficker also have human rights? If Hatsune Entertainment is the kind of backbone that does Chinese originality, so there is still diǎn confidence, why do you have a dog like a pig fungus, and you are also worthy of barking?? ”

From Azeroth National Geographic, to forums, to World of Warcraft. At the end of February 2007, at this time, diǎn had already been completely scolded.

≡dǐng≡diǎn≡小≡語,.※.▽os_(); In January, after all, everyone was still busy with the New Year, a few days later than abroad, and they were not very sensitive. At that time, the North American server was the first to open, followed by the European service, the Thai service, and the Taiwanese service, and the Hanbok on February 2 was actually the final end of this wave of upgrades - the reason why the Hanbok was delayed to February 2 was because Koreans also had to celebrate the Spring Festival, so the approval process was slow.

Even the penultimate hanbok has been opened, and it has been open for a month, and there has been no movement in the national costume, and the domestic homeless who are extremely anticipating finally can't help it. The anger that had been brewing for a long time erupted, and all kinds of gossip that was not favorable to ninety percent flew all over the sky.

Blizzard President Mike. Mo Han flew to Hujiang in person with great sincerity, ready to force ninety percent of Zhu's army to accept his alliance with the city as a victor - the angry public opinion on the Internet has long been known to him.

Mohan was not a man of luxury, and when he arrived in Hujiang, he only chose a four-star business hotel in Pudong to stay in, while he was ready to wait and see the local rumors again, and then start negotiations the next day.

As soon as the secretary finished helping him clean up his salute, he received a phone call. The female secretary was a little surprised, but then quickly understood.

"Boss, the people from the Hatsune Group want to talk to you about the establishment of a joint venture company to operate the subsequent version of 'World of Warcraft', can you see it?"

Mohan was a little surprised: "Hatsune Group? Is it the Hatsune Group that came up with the naked-eye 3 virtual projection concert? ”

"Yes."

Sure enough, someone came to the door! Unexpectedly, but there is no shortage of surprises.

At the beginning, Mohan thought that the first thing he would find was NetEase's Ding Sanshi, who had previously done an intelligence investigation, and the Blizzard think tank concluded that at present, in Chinese mainland, the most interested in cutting off the "World of Warcraft" and the most powerful partner is NetEase.

However, it turned out to be Gu Mojie who came first.

Mohan was not particular about it, so he booked a conference room in a business hotel and negotiated with someone from Hatsune.

When the people from the Hatsune Group arrived, Mo Han personally went out to greet him, and at the end of February, in Hujiang, before he had changed his winter clothes, Mo Han saw a set of eye-catching windbreakers from afar, and immediately reacted to who was coming.

"Huh? r.? Oh, it's a blessing, I didn't expect Hatsune to be so sincere, and you actually came to talk about it in person. Now the American people call you the 'Zuckerberg of the East,' so young. Dozens of paces away, Mohan opened his arms and made an exaggerated welcome gesture.

"Mr. Mohan is familiar with my photographs?" Gu Mojie stretched out his hand, pulled down his white gloves, and shook hands with the other party, "I didn't expect me to be so famous in the United States." ”

Of course, the two sides spoke English, and Gu Mojie didn't need to use a translator.

Mohan shrugged in an American manner: "You shouldn't wear this Armani set anymore - in the last month, a large number of photos analyzing the cufflinks and style details of your trench coat have been shared on ABOO like crazy." Everyone knows that the most popular female singer in Japan is currently enjoying the cherry blossoms in the snow. Then a vote of people passed through the photo of Guò and scattered, and the dozens of clothes that had been preserved by Mr. Giorgio Armani over the years fell into whose hands. From former President Clinton to Gates, photos of those trench coats have been ripped out. ”

"Treasure ...... I mean, Miss Kwon is Korean, we're just friends, let's stop talking about that. Gu Mojie stopped the other party from continuing to chat, and he didn't expect to be able to distinguish between Koreans and Japanese with the arrogance of Americans.

The friendship between the artists and the merchants could not be explained, so they simply did not explain it.

A few people entered the conference room, sat down with the guests, and quickly got to the point. Gu Mojie said straightforwardly:

"Mr. Mohan, I know you're a game-loving person, and I'm not going to play as much as I do with pure business people. You're talking to Zhu Jun, but he's not going to accept the 60% share of your lion's mouth—and neither will I. But I want to tell you the good news from another angle, the condition that you have been seeking to 'establish a joint venture company in China with less than 70% Chinese ownership and operate the World of Warcraft land service' is 90% impossible, but I may be able to do it. ”

"The Chinese are still so direct with you?" Mo Han felt a little funny, he was already very direct, but this kind of negotiation between the company boss and the company boss directly king to king, I really haven't seen Gu Mojie's confident road.

"Who's to say that 90% of them won't accept it? Besides, even if he can't accept 60%, a few percent lower is not negotiable. As for the conditions for the operation of the joint venture company you mentioned, of course, it is very good, and it is indeed what we have always pursued, but in China, if we really want to change operators, I don't know if you can do it. ”

Gu Mojie lit a sulfur match, took a box from Felilo, and then picked up a cigar in the conference room in such a big way, which made Americans frown.

"I know you're expecting Lao Ding." Gu Mojie brewed for a while, highlighting a long puff of smoke,

"But he can't, or even if he does, he'll have to use a lot more joints than I do. Can Warcraft afford to wait? This game, for every month of delay in China, may lose 500,000 paying users, and half of them may be irreversible - that is, even if you come back to play the server in the future, they will not come back to play. Blizzard's entire brand value in China will decrease with the wait.

I know that Blizzard likes to play bounce tickets and think this is hunger marketing, but what Chinese hate the most is bounce tickets, which is determined by China's national conditions. Mr. Mohan, maybe you don't know enough about China, Chinese netizens are much less patient than Americans, they are accustomed to all kinds of cool diǎn piled up of yi-lewdness, online games with free time and free props, and urban-rural style music, and pay attention to the refreshing rhythm of 'I want it, I want it now'. What you want to suppress first, maybe just suppressed for a while, it was directly abandoned for treatment - don't challenge the national nature of the Chinese, otherwise even if it is Blizzard's brand, it will not be popular in China for a few years, you will not want to carry the ideal to death. ”

When Mo Han heard this, he changed color: "Then what else is there to say, 'The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other'." Is it because of the free garbage that you Chinese get so popular, and our noble Blizzard will have to cater to it three times or four! We don't have anything to talk about with you thinking! ”

"Can't stand it? Don't be impatient, I know you're a ** sex businessman, and you're a bunch of paranoids when it comes to gaming. Gu Mojie shrugged, seeing that Mo Han had the meaning of justification, he directly and rudely stopped the other party's defense, "You must want to say: The fans who can't stand the wait for the boutique and lose are not rational and noble hardcore fans, Warcraft only needs hardcore fans - isn't it?" All I can say is that this idea is ridiculous.

I know that Warcraft and other game companies have different attitudes, and other game companies require employees not to necessarily play games, as long as they empathize with the development of games and poke the players' cool diǎn; And Blizzard has always demanded that employees themselves must be avid players. This concept is good, but unfortunately, it also has an expiration date. I believe that the performance in the past few years has not been as hot as it was at the beginning, you know what I'm talking about. ”

"You...... You ......" Mohan tried to argue several times, but finally found that there was nothing to say. What Gu Mojie said was a very rough and rough truth, at least it seemed to be the truth.

"Anyway, you can talk about your conditions first, but no matter what you say, I will wait for Ding Sanshi's conditions and compare your conditions with his." Mo Han firmly bites the last advantage of the seller's market, he firmly believes that World of Warcraft is the only irreplaceable in this world, and this matter has to be begged by Gu Mojie to make a good price.
