Chapter 382: Finding a Surrogate

The game box is now more and more like a tool for selling games, but the core function of the beginning is always a battle platform created for fair battles. If Hearts of Iron has multiplayer mode, it would be a great fit to put in a game box.

The Swedes had not heard of this form of cooperation and did not react at all.

The Swedish bearded man asked for a long time: "Maybe you need half a million dollars, or even more, are you willing to pay?" ”

Wang Bu nodded and said, "Yes." An excellent strategy game that reflects the history of World War II, and it's worth the price I paid to add a multiplayer mode to make it more fun. However, if you use my funds, then only I will be able to sell and operate the multiplayer version. ”

"Understood." The Swedish beard nodded, not making a decision immediately, but put away the business card very preciously.

They didn't expect that the Chinese would be interested in such a core game. They expect to sell up to 200,000 copies of this type of game in the North American market, or even less. For example, "Euro Storm", which has been on the market for three months, has been very flat in sales, and has sold 150,000 copies so far.

This result is so-so, far from being "excellent". But it is really strange that he can also be valued by the king.

Wang Buyi continued to walk around and walked around the two small exhibition areas. Manufacturers that can be placed in small exhibition areas by the exhibition party have more or less some problems with the games on display.

Some are not creative enough, repeatedly fry cold rice, and squeeze stable profits from a fixed user base. Some of them don't have enough money and strength, although they want to make new game genres. But it can't be done.

For those who are creative, Wang Buyi handed over his business card and verbally said several cooperation plans. A number of investment plans were even promised.

Those production crews have already met a lot of investors in their own countries and listened to a lot of empty talk. Even if you hear what Wang Bu said, you just listen to it.

Wang Buyi is not joking, as long as he says his investment intentions, he really wants to invest.

For a manufacturer like P Society, Wang Bubu feels that it is worth spending any amount of money in his pocket. Their planning ideas and procedural logic skills in making strategy games are absolutely second to none.

In these two smaller sections. You can also see a lot of new technology trends. Nokia has set up booths. I took out a prototype phone for the game. Wang looked at it curiously, the picture quality of the prototype is limited by the current display screen, it can only be black and white, and the quality has reached the level of black and white "GameBoy".

In the future, mobile phones will definitely become the new gaming platform. But now this game for mobile. I can't attract manufacturers to make too complex games for them. There is no content. The platform also failed to succeed. Wang Buyi has no impression of this mobile phone.

After shopping. Wang also has a more intuitive insight into the current game industry. The thriving big factories in the southern region, the two major console camps in Japan, and the game industry in South Korea that is being promoted by the government. There are also countless small manufacturers who want to succeed.

There are many opponents in the race against Celadon Technology. Once Wang Buzhu falls behind, he will be like Carmack, and it will be difficult to regain the glory of the past.

……

After Wang returned to his booth, Zhou Yi came up and asked, "Great God, have you found a game like "Counter-Strike"?" ”

The popularity of "Counter-Strike" is really amazing. Unlike other games, which end in a few months. Counter-Strike's player base, while declining from its peak, has been consistently high. It's an incredible achievement.

Except for Wang Buful, Celadon Technology never expected that a game as simple as "Counter-Strike" could bring such huge benefits.

If Wang Buyi picks another "Counter-Strike" this time and brings it back to China to operate, wouldn't it be a refreshment?

"That kind of game can be found casually. I have my eye on a few companies with potential, but I don't know if they are willing to cooperate with us. Wang said. I thought of the most impressive P company.

Wang Buyi said again: "I walked around just now, but I found one more thing, I have to hire an agent in the United States." ”

Walking around the four districts, Wang Bucheng saw so many companies and so many games in the world. There are very few who can stand out, and most of them are unknown. Wang Buyi therefore had a deep sense of crisis.

No one from other manufacturers can get up. What about the king? A bunch of people are holding back and protesting everywhere, is this still necessary?

"Agent? Are you going to get those stupid X's outside? Zhou Yi was so excited that he blurted out a dirty word.

"Indeed, it's not okay to let them mess around like that." "I want to hire a reliable person this time, who is familiar with American law, not impulsive, sympathetic to our current situation, and has a very reliable personal character," Wang said. It's too difficult to require. ”

Wang does not live up to the standard, it is simply looking for a saint. It is necessary to be completely with the king, and to be born and raised, understand the rules of American society, and be completely reliable. Wang is not ashamed, it is better to find a fairy.

"I've got a candidate!" Zhou Yi said: "I know that there is a Chinese-American female writer in the United States, named Zhang Chunru. She used to write books about the history of the anti-Japanese war, but they didn't sell well. It wasn't until our game hit the U.S. market that her book started selling well. It should be able to understand us. ”

"What about the character of the man?" Wang asked. Who can rest assured that a stranger is holding the money he has given him, unregulated?

She has been writing books on the history of the Japanese resistance for a long time. It's not profitable, so why insist on it? So with that alone, I feel like she can be trusted. Zhou Yi said.

Wang Bu thought for a while and said, "In this way, we will invite her to Los Angeles for dinner and talk face-to-face these days." You can help contact her. ”

"Okay!" Zhou Yi nodded, and went online to find the information of the female writer.

After finding the publishing house, Zhou Yi called, introduced himself in very poor English, and said the request to find Zhang Chunru. After the publisher understood it easily, it was very straightforward and immediately agreed to help contact it.

……

When "Far Eastern Battlefield: Chapter 2" was released at the beginning of the year, Zhang Chunru happened to write the book "Eight Years of 400 Million People", which earned her three million dollars alone. Combined, the books she had written before made less than a tenth of the book's money.

But selling too much has also had very serious consequences, which have angered Japan's right-wing groups, or rather, many of Japan's big chaebols.

A mega-corporation like Sony is not actually a chaebol. The real chaebol, through holding and acquisition, extends its tentacles to all parts of the world, controlling countless industries such as real estate, retail, catering, and culture. For them, any bad coverage of Japan in the United States will affect the decline in overall profits.

Not to mention the losses caused by works like "My Resistance Against Japan" and "Eight Years of 400 Million People".

Every chaebol will maintain one or two "non-profit organizations" in the United States, under the guise of increasing cultural exchanges, but the core task is to eliminate the negative situation of the chaebol. cracked down on a lot of celadon technology, Zhang Chunru and other people who "don't know whether to live or die".

Now, Celadon Technology and Zhang Chunru are the thorn in their eyes and the thorn in their flesh.

Celadon Technology is located in China, and they can't harass it directly. After a few words with Villefort, the two founders ignored it. The Japanese group wanted to attack Villefort, but as soon as they made a move, they stabbed the hornet's nest. How crazy the fans who have developed through "Half-Life" are, people who have not experienced it may not know, and they are crazy, and even those Japanese groups are afraid.

Villefort had no choice but to crack down on the reputation of the Chinese company. It just so happened that the Chinese company was said to have a "government background", and it also offended one side of the force, and the two sides merged together.

In addition to cracking down on celadon technology and "My Anti-Japanese", she also had to deal with Zhang Chunru, the female author, so that she didn't dare to write such a book again.

Zhang Chunru is now under great pressure and does not dare to stay at home. Every day, he drove around the United States, hiding from harassment, and sleeping in different motels at night. Only contact the publisher.

She was in a motel in California. The phone next to me rang and hung up. After an interval of five seconds, it rang twice and then hung up. When it rang again for the third time, Zhang Chunru was convinced that it was the publisher's phone and answered it.

The publishing house said that Celadon Technology had come to her. Zhang Chunru immediately agreed. Her work has been able to reach the best-selling list thanks to games produced by the Chinese company.

Although she didn't know what the Chinese company was looking for her, Zhang Chunru still wanted to meet her. So he contacted Zhou Yi and agreed to meet at a high-end Western restaurant in Los Angeles in the evening.

……

All the employees of Celadon Technology know that Wang Bubu is ready to find an agent to counteract those protesters and the masterminds behind the scenes. When I went out in the car again, I saw the protesters outside, and the feeling of helplessness in their hearts disappeared, and there was no anger.

The bus took a group of people to the high-end western restaurant. There is no need to make a reservation at that restaurant, and you can sit as long as there is a seat when you go. Wang Buyi took someone in and ordered the meal first, and waited for Zhang Chunru after a while.

Zhang Chunru was about thirty years old, and his spirit was very weak, so he just said hello and looked left and right. At first, her seat was facing away from the door, facing Wang. caused her to fidget, but from time to time she jerked back in horror as she spoke, to see if someone was staring at her behind her.

Zhou Yi and several employees looked at each other, but they didn't expect the candidate for the agent to be so timid?

"Let's switch places." Wang Buyi stood up and suggested, and changed positions with Zhang Chunru.

After Zhang Chunru could see the door directly, he was less nervous. But he was distracted, and when he spoke, his eyes kept on the people outside.

She was afraid that someone would suddenly rush outside and pour a basin of pig blood on her. This had happened before and had caused her great harm.

Wang Buyi probably had an understanding in his heart, and felt that Zhang Chunru's current state was very suitable to be the agent. (To be continued......)
