Chapter 358: Strategic Cooperation

As a reporter for a game magazine, Lucas returned to the magazine without any expression on his face, and the entire North American game industry suffered the biggest Waterloo this year!

This is the title he had in mind.

But when it came time to really want to write it, his title became "The Birth of Global Online Games".

The E3 Showcase is a carnival of games, and the E3 Showcase is a festival for players.

But this year the festival has another name. The Day of Cybertron.

Almost the entire exhibition was crowded in front of Cybertron Technologies' booth.

I was also fortunate enough to participate in this test of Cybertron.

From a gamer's point of view, there are not many things that can be found fault with this game, not like traditional Eastern games that are incomprehensible, nor like our current Western games. This Cybertron Tech is almost a recreation of the history of a planet! Judging from the experience of the game's exhibitors I interviewed, the game's mission system is very large, and it has a high degree of freedom, and the huge map also provides a high level of replayability. The most important thing is that the graphics in this game are even better than those high-end configuration games that are popular now, and finally their configuration requirements, which is a surprise! Minimal configuration requirements! I have a strong sense of anticipation for this work.

In the end, I have to say that Cybertron Technology is an out-and-out profiteer.

Originally, I only needed one projection device to use Super Butler, but for better game results, they actually recommended that I buy three projection devices. Form an all-round projection without dead angles, which is used for better games. Experiencing this feeling is like playing a game in a real game warehouse. It's full of game content in all directions, and there is no sense of oppression, so it's very comfortable! Damn! My next month's salary!

After the report was written, Lucas received a call from their leader.

After the report was handed over, the leader asked Lucas to send the photos and recorded videos, and asked him to write a story about how he felt about playing games with a projection device.

"Your winnings are doubled this month!" The director was excited.

Sitting in his office, Zhao Li looked at the magazines and newspapers mailed back from the United States.

It's all about games in the United States, and these newspapers and magazines have a list of the games at the E3 show that day.

It's not just a game thing.

The projection device can be used with a variety of games, and the report that brings players a novel perspective experience occupies a large part of the page.

I came with these magazines. There are also those world-renowned game companies, especially those game manufacturers of single-player games, all of them have come.

For example, industry giants such as EA, Vivendi, Ubisoft, and Capcom. All of these manufacturers have come over.

Many people may not have heard their names, but when it comes to their masterpieces, everyone who has played the game will know them.

Need for Speed series, Counter-Strike series, Prince of Persia series, Devil May Cry series.

Many people may not know about these companies, but players definitely know these familiar games.

When all these companies come together. The whole company is very exaggerated.

Each company comes with a large group of staff.

Although there were only a small number of people during the negotiation, this is the first time that more than 100 foreigners have gathered at Cybertron Technology.

Even the last time "Power Saving" was a big hit, those people were just calling. Now all the serious ones have come.

It looks formal.

Looking at the delegates resting in the lounge, Zhao Li scolded them. "In this way, Su Yao, invite them to our conference room. I'd like to hear what the hell is going on, how one big show can bring back so many people. It's simply unscientific! ”

Zhao Li knew that this was because of the effect of his projection device.

The effect of this projection device is only to focus all this attention on one's own hands. How to cooperate, how to carry out future cooperation. This is very troublesome.

You must know that although the monthly output of projection devices has doubled due to the landing of the new assembly line, it is still in short supply so far.

Zhao Li now directly gave Zhou Bing a large sum of money, and he didn't even have time to rest, and the construction of the third, fourth and fifth assembly lines began in an all-round way.

As long as it can be built this month, then next month's production can barely keep up with sales. 、

However, this is still in the case of not increasing sales for the time being, if the share of sales is increased, no matter how much it is increased, it will be unbearable.

After figuring out their intentions, Zhao Li soon knew why these people came.

For example, EA wanted to make their projection device label at the time of release so that it could better experience the game Need for Speed 15.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but it actually does so by advertising them.

Hardware is something that everyone will buy,Although the projection device is just a non-essential,But in fact, its consumer base is much more than the game,Although the group of these gamers,It is definitely the mainstream of hardware purchases,Cooperation can be cooperated,But this condition has to be changed。

When Zhao Li arrived at the conference room, the representatives of these major game companies looked at him eagerly.

At this time, these game companies have been waiting for a long time, and these game companies are very curious, on the one hand, they are curious about what kind of attitude this Cybertron Technology is, and on the other hand, they are also very curious, what kind of conditions this company wants to open, after all, that thing is now on sale.

After Zhao Li sat down, he glanced at these people.

"I already know what you're going to do here.

However, personally, I work with your companies. In fact, Cybertron Technology is a bit out of the picture! Zhao Li looked at these people with a stiff expression.

As soon as he raised his hand to stop these people from talking, Zhao Li continued.

"It's not a company that looks down on you. But if our company and your companies jointly promote it, I'd love to know what benefits we can get! ”

Benefit. Only interests can make people combined. This is the only way to create an alliance.

After pondering for a while, the representative of EA looked at Zhao Li. "Mr. Zhao, you went to that E3 exhibition, not only to start your Cybertron game, but also to play this projection installation of yours. As far as I know, it's almost the same for one person to buy a projection device, but if you're a gamer, you have to have more than three of them to achieve that kind of seamless projection. Some players with a round waist and a fat body even need four. So looking at it this way, in fact, the average player has more purchase potential, why don't you want them to buy it? ”

Zhao Li nodded. "Please continue!"

"Our company has been making games, your company is making games for the first time, releasing this thing that can almost change the game mode, what do you think about your company, I really want to know, Mr. Zhao might as well get straight to the point and see if we can meet your requirements." After all, our Need for Speed series at EA definitely needs your company's products. Because of this product of your company, our Need for Speed will be more realistic. ”

Touching his chin, Zhao Ligao glanced at the white representative. "You're all making games, and you're game publishers. I've been doing games for so many years, so there are some things you know better than me, to be honest. We will only develop this game in Cybertron Technology, in terms of promotional packaging, etc. We can't do the kind of process that your company did, so I'm going to make a condition here. as a condition of an exchange of benefits. ”

After Zhao Li finished speaking, he took out a CD that had been burned and put it in front of these people. "This is our new product, Cybertron. If you need to register your product for the introduction of the projection device, then please help me promote my product! ”

Promoting someone else's product?

"We're at least a strategic partner, aren't we?" Zhao Li smiled slightly, and then looked at these people.

They're not at the helm of a game company, and helping others promote games or something, that's a really painful request.

But in the same way, if they can really catch the line of projection devices, then their games will explode again. It's a hard thing to come by.

This kind of technological revolution is also very rare.

"No problem!" EA's representatives agreed without even thinking about it.

"We have all the channels for you! But in exchange, I need to ...... projection installation"

"In the instructions for the use of the projection device, we will focus on the key products of our company and EA company, which has strategic cooperation. Especially those products with a high degree of fit, such as Need for Speed, SimCity, etc.! Zhao Li said with a smile, and after speaking, he also put an instruction manual with a huge blank page in front of these people.

"I'm very fair, I use your channels, I will also give you my channels, and borrow your channels, and you don't need to come forward to help promote, you don't have to come forward for all the publicity, at least you won't let those players have the illusion that you actually promote other companies' products." After Zhao Li finished speaking, he picked up the projection device and looked at these people. "But there's one more thing I'd like to say ahead of the curve, to install my projection device, you have to install the Fortress operating system first, and some of you don't legally allow me to install my software. How is this calculated? ”

Zhao Li glanced at these people, this is actually a big problem.

However, this problem is their problem, and now that he has the two killer weapons of "Super Butler" and the three-dimensional game, he doesn't believe that these people will withstand the temptation.

As long as these installations are installed by the players themselves, even the gods can't condemn them!

Prohibiting the sale and installing it by others are two different things.

Zhao Li glanced at the representative of this EA company, and they could see clearly that this kind of exchange of interests was just an exchange, but once this projection device was rolled out, the benefits they got were not so half-hearted.

Why not exchange your existing resources for resources that will grow in the future?

"We are also willing to reach a strategic partnership relationship with your company!"

"So do we!"

"We do, too!"

The other companies hesitated for a while, but then they all agreed to the exchange.

Or everyone's resource exchange!

The rest of the matter is the matter of lawyers and assistants, this simple exchange, not only the scope of the exchange, but also the content of the exchange, all need to be discussed, Zhao Li took these representatives to the exhibition center in the city center.

He is now going to show these people the benefits of this projection device, so that these people will be excited when they see this projection device in the future!

At least let them buy them back one by one.

As for the scale of bargaining, Zhao Li has already told the employees of his company the final bottom line, it will be better for these people to do bargaining things, and it is better to take these people to the mountains and rivers, at least at this time, it is not suitable for him to bargain with these people with a red face.
