Chapter 503: Pearson Group Doesn't Welcome You!

The peer reprimanded him for being indecent, this sentence is true no matter where it is placed.

Robert was choked by Chuck's words, very embarrassed, but couldn't refute it, Chuck said the truth, EA does have ideas about TSR, if he dares to open his eyes and say nonsense, if he really cooperates in the future, he will definitely be laughed at and generous, that is to slap himself in the mouth.

David also blushed, he did think about giving up SSI, and instead of working hand in hand with EA, especially after Chuck proposed to settle the exclusive licensing contract peacefully, Davy thought most about how to pull EA in to cooperate, for him, SSI is too small, not strong enough for EA, Ximu Studio is the most suitable designer of DND games.

Chuck propped his hands on the table and smiled strangely: "First thing, not long ago, the headquarters decided to suspend a new game that SSI was making, and it was because this game and the new game of Dragon Teng conflicted, homogeneous, contemporaneous, and with the same content, so the headquarters made us give up." But until now, HQ hasn't been sure if Dragon will actually launch this game! ”

"Huh? How scared you are to the point where you don't dare to compete with them head-on? David's eyes widened in disbelief, could it be that Dragon's prestige in the video game world was really so terrifying.

Robert frowned, not long ago, SSI's military war game habits, Longteng's special moves, he guessed something, and asked tentatively: "Is it a submarine game?" ”

Chuck nodded, raising his eyebrows, he was also a little resentful: "Yes." Our submarine game development progress has stopped! Do you know the truth? We've been working on the game for months, and we've changed the game plan three times. Advisers were brought in from the army, but the headquarters said stop when they said stop! ”

Robert's fist slammed into the table. Letting out an unwilling low snort, he knew that Long Teng would definitely want to write strange tricks to come out, but he didn't expect Yang Yun to use the purchase of physical submarines to add points to his game, which is unique in the global game production industry, and Long Teng is so famous that it can really stop the progress of the game that SSI is developing!

Chuck released a second bombshell before the two of them could think of anything: "The second thing, when I was talking to the headquarters just now. The meaning from above is actually not as simple as giving up the accusation against Long Teng. There are some things I don't mind revealing to you, but there are plans to sell our SSI studio! ”

Dizzy!

David no longer knows how to express his feelings at this time, he only knows that no matter what, SSI will no longer be his partner, and after tearing his face, there is no possibility for everyone to be friends.

It's just that he didn't expect that just a suggestion he put forward would make SSI the object of being abandoned by Pearson!

"Oh no!" Robert exclaimed, screaming, and he thought of something very serious: "Don't tell me. Pearson will sell you to Dragon! ”

David's heart was shocked, and he instantly thought of the terrible consequences!

Pearson Group will sell SSI as a whole to Longteng, then TSR's DND license agreement will be transferred to Longteng, and Longteng will renegotiate the sharing contract with TSR. Even if the DND rules are completely abandoned or hidden, all the initiative will be held by Longteng, and the TSR, which is holding an important economic lifeline, will be greatly threatened!

Let you live. Then Yang Yun let go and occasionally made a DND game. Earn some money to send TSR away and sustain their livelihood.

Let you die. Then Yang Yun will hold on tightly, in a year or two, let DND games not appear in PC games at all, all that appears is Longteng's own rules, plus the two companies have a very high degree of overlap in board games, it may not take a year or two, TSR will lose enough fresh blood to replenish, and they will definitely go bankrupt quickly.

After all, TSR, a sunset company, is not qualified to compete with the dragon in the sky!

EA's Robert is also dead-faced, if SSI is really taken into the pocket by Longteng, then what has become of their EA?

Are they jumping up and down, jumping the most happy, wooing this, bewitching that, inviting helpers, making no achievements, and finally making wedding dresses for others?

"Chuck, is this the exact news of the sale of SSI, or is it just an intent for the time being? Are EA eligible to purchase SSI? What are the requirements? Robert asked, pulling himself together.

Chuck looked at the expressions of the two of them, and was in a very happy mood, and replied with a smile: "Everything is up to the headquarters, and I don't count what I say." So I thought, are you looking for the wrong person? I'm just a less important person in charge, what difference does it make if I work for Pearson or I do things for Longteng EA? I'd rather use this incident to enter the dragon and give SSI a new lease of life! ”

The two of them found the wrong ally, the ally was too weak to help them at all, and they threatened to rebel at every turn, and now they even planned to take the initiative to send their heads.

The two found the wrong opponent, and it was self-inflicted humiliation to choose Long Teng as a competitor.

David and Robert were very depressed, and the carefully prepared plan didn't sound like it was worth mentioning at all, but because of their interference, SSI was forced out of another path, and they didn't want to see this result!

"If nothing else, I still have a job!" Chuck sent the guests off, and David and Robert had to leave with bitter faces.

Hit a wall in Australia, Robert continued to fly to London, England without giving up, he wanted to do his best to persuade the British Pearson Computer Application Management Company to preemptively acquire SSI, he couldn't allow Longteng to win the DND license, EA's West Wood Studio's current mature work is only the DND rules of "MONOCULUS Killing Machine", which can no longer be robbed!

Like entering a demonic barrier, hatred is especially easy to deceive people's eyes.

It's just that Robert and they didn't expect that Yang Yun had already woven a big net and sprinkled it in the water early, quietly waiting for harassers like Robert to come - Longteng's purchase restriction policy was for this purpose.

Restricting the purchase of players, directing players' dissatisfaction to a competitor who cannot be spoken, and shifting the pressure to TSR and related competitors is the tactic of Longteng to respond to all changes.

On May 2, the gamers who stood in front of the Dragon New York store and protested with cardboards, their anger was mainly aimed at the shady scenes of the game industry.

"Need a game, refuse to limit purchase", the player's request is really simple, they just need a good game, who cares which company makes this game, who cares about the story behind the game? In all fairness, if it weren't for the fun of their games, would players have bought in for this big achievement on video game consoles?

This time, they just gathered to protest with cardboards, and next time it might be dozens of people marching on the streets.

The voice of the people must be heeded, Jiang Shaoyun of Longteng's New York headquarters immediately rushed to the scene to reassure the players and explain to the media covering the march that he is also a good actor, putting himself in the position of the victim and showing some of the unfavorable remarks collected before, which is really an indescribable grievance, but it can't be said clearly.

The incident was truthfully reported in the evening news on May 2, and it was inconvenient for Long Teng to disclose the specific details, but countless industry experts were willing to stand up to help uphold justice, and began to refute the claims that "Diablo 1" plagiarized DND rules one by one, trying to prove that the two were not substantially infringing, at most they could only be said to have borrowed some ideas.

Robert had only been in London for a day, and he had finally made an appointment with the relevant person in charge of Pearson Computer Application Management, and before he had put forward the idea that EA wanted to buy SSI, the other party just politely received him, and then refused to discuss the cooperation between the two companies.

What's going on again? Could it be that I have flown from the United States to Australia, and from Australia to London, most of the world, and I can't even express myself when I meet them?

"Our EA company is really very sincere...... Robert still wants to continue to fight, he has been flying continuously, he has long been exhausted, and now he is hurtful and sad, he doesn't even have the right to speak, he is about to collapse, who will tell him, what is going on in this world?

The other party interrupted him and replied mechanically: "I'm sorry, we have already negotiated with China's Longteng Entertainment Game Company and signed a transfer and sale agreement for SSI Studios, and EA has no chance of cooperation!" ”

Robert almost spurted a mouthful of blood, was that too fast?

"But when I spoke to you the day before yesterday, weren't they all for sale? Why did you sell it to Longteng just after I came over? ”

This is what Robert hates the most, he just left SSI two days ago, and when he was on the phone with the UK, the other party said that he welcomed all powerful companies to come to negotiate, but after two days, he changed his mind, and after fooling him to the UK, he told him that he had sold it, what kind of thing is this? Isn't that funny?

The person in charge of Pearson looked at Robert strangely and asked rhetorically: "The dragon has vacated a good price, why don't we sell it?" ”

Robert stiffened his neck and said loudly, "How do you know that EA can't afford to pay for it?" What the dragon vacates, I am willing to give double! You don't have tenders, you don't negotiate, you don't have anything, you guys are unfair to EA! ”

The person in charge of Pearson slapped the table heavily and said very unhappily: "SSI is our own property, we can sell it to whoever we want, and we don't need to report it to EA!" Besides, Longteng promises to help Pearson Publishing Group develop the Chinese market, can you EA really pay this double price? Bite off more than one can chew! Please, you're not welcome at Pearson! ”

Aggrieved, angry, and chilled, Robert's spirit was emptied in an instant.

was called around like a dog, and kicked away at the very least, and thought he was overwhelmed, how humiliating should this be?

Robert stood up violently, his body shook and trembled, he must fight back! (To be continued......)
