Chapter 159: EA (2)

Online Genesis UO, I don't know how many players still remember this name, if they can remember, I'm afraid they are all the ashes in the ashes of online games.

The name UO is unheard of for new online gamers, and not many of them have seen it even among veteran gamers. But those hardcore players who have experienced the rise of large-scale online games, I don't know how many "kittens" who have had 14.4kbps because of UO's crazy move to drop/load UO, and once waited all night in order to be able to board 6's small private server that can only accommodate dozens of users.

Thinking of these, Qin Yuanfeng also sighed.

The world's first online game, with him, there is a legend, there is a miracle, there is World of Warcraft...... There are countless "multiplayer online games" in the future. ”

The top of Richard's head was slightly bald, this was the result of long-term exposure to the computer, the signature high nose bridge of Europeans and Americans, the double eyelids were as heavy as if they had been cut out, and he had a mustache, and he shook hands with Qin Yuanfeng with a smile on the same face.

"Mr. Qin's feat really makes me admire it very much." The three of them sat down with a smile, and Larry opened his mouth with a smile: "I have opened a number of popular games in a year, and I have been regarded as the first business owner by Sega, even surpassing Konami." It's amazing. ”

He changed his words: "I don't know what Mr. Qin is doing when he comes to EA today?" ”

Qin Yuanfeng smiled slightly in his heart, and sure enough, the other party was very anxious.

He didn't have an appetite, and cooperated with EA, one is to pave the way for himself to cut off Nintendo, and the other is to enter Europe and the United States in the future, and he can have ready-made channels.

Only he knows what kind of behemoth this company, which now looks like a medium-sized company, will become in the future!

"I want to take a stake in EA." He did not shy away from looking at the two: "The two companies have formed a strategic partnership, and according to the market value of EA, I want to invest in a 5% share." ”

Larry's eyes lit up, more capital, who would refuse?

However, he did not immediately agree, why the other party wants to invest in EA, this is the point.

There is no pie in the world that is eaten for nothing, and if you want to get it, you must pay.

"Why?" Larry groaned, "To be honest, I don't think the two companies have any business intersection. We focus on the computer side and firmly believe that computers will become mainstream in the future. Your company, on the other hand, specializes in video games, and the genre of the game is completely different. ”

"I need European and American channels. You need the channel of the host. Qin Yuanfeng pondered and said what he had been thinking about all night last night: "I can introduce Sega's MD to EA." ”

Larry's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Yuanfeng brightly, the other party's words could be said to have really scratched his itch!

EA is now doing computer games, but he will definitely have a lot of games on the video platform in the future, and the opportunity comes from the 89 years Sega officially entered the European and American markets with MD, and it became Sega's largest game provider in Europe and the United States!

Without it, the two companies' production concepts are very close, and they are both known for their popularity and excitement, and at this moment, EA, sports games have laid a foundation. This type of game has a lot of fans, but it happens to be the genre that Japanese game manufacturers are the least good at making.

And now, because of the small number of computers, they are not the mainstream, and they have been jealous of the big cake of video games for too long, but Sega has not responded, so they can only stare at it, this time Qin Yuanfeng came in person, and the strength of the two companies is similar, so they naturally can't wait.

Larry's eyes narrowed, Qin Yuanfeng is a game developer, they are also a game developer, according to reason, they are competitors, if one competitor introduces another competitor, either he has a sick brain, or he has other plans, and the picture is not small, and the value is even above the EA itself!

What is he trying to figure out? His gaze swept over Qin Yuanfeng silently, and the other party's smile was still the same, and he couldn't see a trace of Ni Duan.

"Mr. Qin." Larry finally spoke, leaning lazily against the sand, his fingers crossed over his chest, and said in a deep voice, "That's not your real reason. ”

"Man, if you want to cooperate, you have to show sincerity." He leaned forward, stared at Qin Yuanfeng and said, "We can sign an agreement, if you can introduce the sequence of MD for EA, then EA can allow you to invest 5% of the shares." But first you have to tell me why. ”

"Don't say the reason again." His eyes narrowed slightly, looking like a kind person, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "I want to listen...... is the real reason. Your referrals attract me, my channels attract you, and we can indeed complement each other, but I don't want to drag EA into trouble. Do you see what I mean? ”

Qin Yuanfeng looked at him quietly, and nodded after a while: "When will you sign the contract?" ”

"This is just an intention, not a formal contract. We can sign it right away. Larry nodded at Richard, who actually pulled out a thin stack of contracts from his briefcase.

It seemed that before they came, they had estimated Qin Yuanfeng's purpose, and it was very accurate.

Qin Yuanfeng handed over the contract to the two of them, and half an hour later, the two of them came in and nodded, the contract of intent was very simple, and at the same time had a certain legal effect, and there was no problem.

And he also knows that EA is indeed sincerely seeking cooperation in video games, and the two major console manufacturers in this world, Nintendo's production philosophy and EA are completely incompatible, and their products are likely to not get the best channel. But Sega is different, the two companies signed a formal contract almost within a week, which can be said to be Lang's concubine.

Qin Yuanfeng and Larry solemnly signed their names, took out their official seals and stamped them, Larry snapped his fingers, and immediately someone from a senior law firm came in to notarize.

An hour later, the notarization was completed, and no one in the audience was impatient. When everyone left, only these three people were left, and Larry did not laugh because of the channel of climbing to Sega, but opened his mouth cautiously: "Mr. Qin, your appearance is too cautious. Now, I would like to know, what are you up to? ”

"It's not like I'm plotting." Qin Yuanfeng said lightly: "It's that I'm thinking about EA." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"It's simple. In this world, only Sega and Nintendo's consoles can be sold. As for the Atari? Don't laugh, this is not their time for a long time. Qin Yuanfeng smiled casually: "However, if your company is on Sega's side, it will definitely become Nintendo's opponent." Nintendo's means, Yamauchi's temper, I think your company should have heard a little. ”

"That's a tyrant." Richard, who had never spoken, sighed and spoke: "The entire video game industry is under his control, if it weren't for this MD to give us a glimmer of light, we wouldn't have rashly joined the video game war." ”

Qin Yuanfeng nodded, although the contract can be violated at any time, but the spirit of the contract is the foundation of the United States, and they value the attitude of the contract, which is more important than other countries.

After signing the contract, although this layer of insurance is not very reliable, if there is, it can be said. He's going to work with EA, and unless Larry is a fool, he won't fail to see his intentions.

Rather than others seeing that they are suspicious of him, it is better to spread it out.

"MD is now the hottest model in the world, but it has not officially entered Europe and the United States. According to the usual practice, the first batch of goods will be sent to Europe and the United States after half a year. Qin Yuanfeng said solemnly: "This batch of goods will be scrambled by major sellers and electronic merchants in Europe and the United States, after all, MD is currently selling hot in Japan, and Japan, as the most advanced country in the world in electronic entertainment, can use its model to speculate on the sales of Europe and the United States." ”

"However, even if it is my introduction, why would Sega have to introduce your company to the Sega sequence? There are Ubisoft and Atari abroad, and compared to them, your assets are not the best. He said in a deep voice, "So, you need a letter of nomination, a certificate of nomination that will really impress Sega!" ”

Larry nodded slightly, the other party was right, the competition in video games is extremely fierce, and the acceptance of sports games in Japan is not high, and their games have no precedent for porting computers, which is a risk for Sega.

"Could it be that Mr. Qin gave us this letter of nomination?" Larry said with a smile, but his intuition told him that this had a lot to do with what Qin Yuanfeng was plotting.

Qin Yuanfeng smiled and said softly, "Unfortunately, I just heard a piece of news. ”

"Nintendo, at this exhibition, is very coveted for a game, but unfortunately, they don't get the real rights." His gaze turned cold: "However, they want this game again, so they ...... There are some very shady practices. ”

"And Nintendo, in January, announced the news of the handheld gB, and unfortunately, I just learned that they wanted to use this game as the highlight of the handheld."

He licked his lips, gritted his teeth and smiled, "Mr. Larry, do you remember when gB announced that it would be released?" ”

Larry's heart was already galloping like a thousand horses, and he swallowed his saliva before saying, "Next year." ”

"There's also news that the company is in a copyright lawsuit with Nintendo. How long do you think this kind of lawsuit can be fought? Qin Yuanfeng folded his hands together, pinched the joints, and made a crisp sound: "Do you understand?" ”

The room was silent.

Larry and Richard's faces were complicated. They estimated that Qin Yuanfeng had a plan, but they didn't expect that this plot was so big!

After a long time, Larry gasped: "You...... Think...... In CES, the world's top electronics conference, in full view...... Snatched the fruit of Nintendo?! Aren't you afraid of Yamauchi's revenge?! ”

Qin Yuanfeng nodded slightly, and sneered: "In Chinese terms, this is called cutting off the beard. ”

He didn't speak again, but looked at the two of them.

It has been pointed out that if the interception is successful, then the gB sales will be greatly hindered! Because no matter how fun a game is, it needs the precipitation of fame, Nintendo is bound to put this game on Fc first, and only when it is popular can it be possible to roll out gB sales.

This is the routine of Nintendo's real history.

He has a beard here, which can be said to have broken Nintendo's biggest plan next year! Even reviving Nintendo's handheld ancestors will have a huge impact!

Larry did not refuse, but kept exchanging glances with Richard.

There is no doubt that this petition is extremely tempting, and once successful, Sega will definitely give greater authority!

After all, Sega and Nintendo can't compare, they have a very friendly attitude towards third parties, and if they don't, I'm afraid that all third parties will fall to Nintendo.

But in this way, it means that there is absolutely no room for maneuver with Nintendo! It will face a relentless blow from giants that occupy more than 7o% of the share of the video game industry!
