What can you do?

For a while, this really gave Zhang Ning some headaches.

CF is indeed suspected of plagiarizing CF, which makes it impossible to completely clear up.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ning didn't think of a way.

In the end, there was really no way, Zhang Ning had no choice but to give up.

Forget it, don't think about it, they can scold if they want, anyway, just run the game yourself.

In later generations, CF has always been said to be plagiarizing CS and the like, and many people say that CS is the soul and CF is garbage. However, it turns out that there are fewer and fewer people playing CS, and more and more people playing CF.

Alas, this is really fame and profit.

On the one hand, it is very difficult to protect one's reputation, and on the other hand, to conform to one's own interests.

Zhang Ning, who had no choice, had to pretend to cover his ears and no longer listen to any media, nor read any media reports.

"I'm sorry, we're going to close here."

The next night, Zhang Ning and his entourage were tired from a tiring day at the North American Game Show and were about to get ready to rest.

It's just that there are two players sitting at the computer desk of the trial game all the time, and they don't want to stop at all.

When Zhang Ning shouted three times in a row, the other party had some unfinished intentions, stopped, and looked at Zhang Ning.

"Your CF is really a genius game, more than the CS geniuses."

"Thank you."

Zhang Ning maintained a friendly posture and replied with a smile, "It's just that I'm a little sorry, we're going to get off work." ”

"I know, but I'd like to have a few words with you, I don't know, okay?"

"Absolutely."

Zhang Ning was very curious, looking at the two people in front of him, could it be that these two people are so-called peers?

Moreover, it seems that this European and American man with glasses and a very Sven appearance is a little familiar with him.

It's just that after all, Zhang Ning didn't recognize who he was.

"Recently, I've noticed that it seems that Villefort Software keeps saying that CF plagiarizes CS, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything to you. I'm just feeling unfair to you, and CS probably doesn't want your CF to steal their limelight, so I deliberately suppress you. Moreover, I don't think that even if it is a lawsuit, their CS can get much benefit. ”

"Thank you for your understanding of our CF."

"You're welcome, but anyway, CF does have a lot of things like CS, doesn't it? If Welfort Software has been attacking you, and even the media has been thinking that your CF has plagiarized their CS, then, even if CF is popular, it is estimated that your reputation will be greatly affected. Moreover, it is not conducive to global promotion. I think CF is a game that can become popular all over the world, and he doesn't deserve such unfair treatment. ”

The other party is very talkative, and his vision is also very accurate, which makes Zhang Ning appreciate it very much.

"May I ask who you are?"

Such a discerning figure, Zhang Ning definitely believes that he is by no means an unknown person.

"My name is Bertha."

"Bertha."

Zhang Ning silently recited a few words of Berta's name on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly, Zhang Ning knew who this Berta was.

"I didn't expect Mr. Berta to be the CEO of Shell Hill."

"Haha, I'm just a player right now."

Being recognized by a Chinese, Berta seemed very happy.

"Actually, I'm also a gamer."

"Well, it looks like we should have a lot in common."

Berta was endless, chatting with Zhang Ning about his views on various games.

Half an hour later, Berta stopped discussing the game with Zhang Ning again.

He was depressed because, no matter what aspect of the game he discussed, it seemed that he had lost.

However, what made Berta even happier was that he felt that he had met a true genius.

"Looks like we should find a quieter place."

Berta's eyes flickered, and he admired Zhang Ning incomparably.

“ok。”

Without refusing, the two went to a coffee shop near a North American game exhibition area.

"I'd love to know, what is your CF charging model? Wait, don't say it so fast, I guess. ”

Berta took a sip of his coffee and thought slowly.

"I just tried your game, and I found that your game has two concepts: level and equipment. Of course, what surprises me even more is that your game doesn't seem to be a traditional single-player game, but an online game, no, even a traditional online game. However, later I found out that you seem to have another mall, do you want to launch a prop charging model? ”

Beyond, the world's largest game publishing company, Bota, CEO of Xuele Mountain, quickly summed up the CF fee model.

"Awesome, you guessed perfectly."

"It's not that I guessed correctly, it's that we've released too many games. However, the charge for this kind of prop, especially the charge for decorations that don't disrupt the balance of the game, I think this kind of setup is simply fantastic. I believe that if the operation is successful in the future, this will become a major mainstream of game fees in the future. However, I think it's a bit too monotonous to just charge for props. Or can we maximize the benefits? ”

"Maximizing benefits?"

"Yes."

Berta nodded, then added, "Have you ever thought about the client charges?" ”

"You're talking about selling cdkey for a fee."

Key charging is also commonly known as disc charging, and the disc contains the client of the entire game.

I bought a disc and I was able to copy the entire game to your computer and play it.

Of course, there are also cases where you don't need to pass the guò client, you only need a string of paid activation codes, and after activation, you can also enter the game.

Regardless of whether it is a disc or an activation code, they call it the cdkey charging model.

That is, the traditional one-time selling the game to you.

"Almost."

Berta nodded again and added, "In other words, your CF can have two charges, one is the first client fee + the other is when the player enters the game, and then charges for items. ”

"Isn't that too expensive?"

"It's not expensive at all."

Berta replied affirmatively, "Mr. Zhang, our Xueleshan company has been operating games for more than ten years, although it cannot be called the largest game company in the world. However, we ask ourselves, we are definitely the company that best understands the consumption psychology of European and American players. Moreover, for a long time, European and American games have always been based on the principle of client-side fees. As for your item charge, it's just an automatic charging service added after the client that doesn't disrupt the balance of the system. ”

As he spoke, Berta looked into Zhang Ning's eyes, "If Mr. Zhang thinks this is unlikely, we, Xueleshan Company, are very willing to act as your company's CF, and promise to promote your CF to the whole of North America." ”

Zhang Ning suddenly understood this.

It turned out that this Berta actually came to himself to represent his CF.

Of course, someone came to act as an agent for CF, and Zhang Ning was naturally happy.

The North American market is so big, and I haven't even completely managed the domestic market, how can I get North America.

However, Zhang Ning did not understand one question.

"I am very happy that Mr. Berta is so optimistic about our CF, and of course, I am also willing to represent the CF to Xueleshan. I also believe that with the capabilities of your company, our CF will become popular all over the world. However, I was wondering, aren't you afraid that the Villefort company will sue you? You know, the laws of your North American federal courts have always been very strict. Moreover, with the major media constantly hyping the CF plagiarism CS incident, how should you deal with Xueleshan Company? ”

Hearing Zhang Ning ask, Berta showed a mysterious smile of his.

"I knew Mr. Zhang would ask."

After speaking, Berta took out a document from his briefcase, "This is the sequel development contract that Half-Life gave us, and we can develop game products of the same type as Half-Life." ”

Looking at this contract, Zhang Ning's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "In other words, CS is the follow-up to Half-Life, and so is our CF." ”

"You're so smart."
