Brown said that five years, almost exactly to 2000, Yang Yun calculated in his heart, if nothing else, several heavyweight PC games will be launched one after another in the next few years, Longteng occupies half of the market in the global PC game industry, and it should not be a big problem, so he also nodded with a slight smile, full of confidence.

This young man really has courage and courage, and Stern finally digested this sentence, and finally put his mind at ease, shocked and amazed by Yang Yun's approach.

Longteng intends to hold an e-sports tournament for gamers all over the world, and chooses NBA basketball games as an official event, with the intention of creating an Olympic competition in the e-sports world, which is indeed the best way to promote the NBA through games.

"Yang! Did you know that 7 years ago, I went to China once? Stern recalled.

Yang Yun was a little puzzled, and he shook his head.

Stern smiled: "Seven years ago, in March 1989, I came to China. It was raining that day, and I waited for an hour at the entrance booth of the CCTV compound with my umbrella, hoping that CCTV would broadcast the NBA TV program......"

This history, like a secret news, Yang Yun was dumbfounded when he heard it.

In order to expand the NBA's influence in China, Stern went to CCTV to seek cooperation, hoping to broadcast the NBA game video on CCTV, because there was no appointment, he patiently waited in the CCTV transmission room for more than an hour, and finally waited for Li Zhuang, the person in charge of CCTV's program outsourcing.

He patiently explained to the person in charge what the NBA is and what video broadcast is, and there is no charge for the broadcast program. Every week, the NBA mails a box of one-week game highlights from overseas to the capital for free, and the annual NBA All-Star and Finals. He was willing to pay out of his own pocket to invite the CCTV sports channel to produce a group to broadcast live......

Yang Yun sighed and said, "There is an old saying in China. Where there's a will there's a way! This sentence is sent to you! Expanding the influence of the NBA in China and sending Chinese players to the NBA is something I have always been committed to doing. I've bought La Liga clubs, I've bought NBA teams, and I've sponsored China's national fitness, all of which stem from my love for sports. You can rest assured, after granting the game adaptation rights of the NBA to Dragon, I will definitely do even better! ”

Stern looked at Yang Yun's expression and became kind again: "This Chinese is not simple, he is a person who does great things. I blindly promised EA to refuse to contact Longteng before, and it seems that I was really impulsive. ”

Although Stern thinks so in his heart, he is very optimistic about Yang Yun's WCG, but there are some things that he can't completely decide, such as agreeing to sign an exclusive contract with EA is the result of discussions with many senior executives in the NBA, not that he now says that he can agree to authorize Longteng, and there are still many procedural things to go.

There is another thing that Long Teng needs to do, which is very tricky, or very untable. This is also something that Stern is unwilling to do, and it is one of the important reasons why he wanted to hide from Dragon Teng before.

"Because of EA, we are under pressure from multiple councillors, so we can't open up more game adaptation rights. At most, one more company can be allowed to join, which is our limit. But we can't announce this decision to the outside world. I hope Mr. Yang can consider it for us. ”

Stern made the request in a roundabout way, and pointed out the key points. Then he looked at Yang Yun with blazing eyes, as if smiling. It's like a test.

Old fox!

After figuring it out, Yang Yun and the others secretly scolded in their hearts, Stern This is a typical two-sided sale, he doesn't want to offend Long Teng, he can give Long Teng a chance, and he doesn't want to offend EA too much, so he only allows Long Teng's family to join at most.

And these people represented by Brown, Stern also didn't want to offend, his words were a subtle suggestion that KTT and other game companies should not be busy, NBA executives have pressure from lawmakers, and they must maintain enough interests for EA, allowing Longteng to join is their bottom line, so how to drive away other competitors, let Longteng be the bad guy!

In this way, Longteng will have to bear the infamy, they are the second company to be licensed by the NBA, and it is also the last, in the future, if any game company wants to make a basketball game, it can be in the form of cartoons, in the form of exaggerated anime, but not in the form of Live that is infinitely close to the live-action version.

Live is the unique right of Longteng and EA, so other competitors need Longteng to persuade them to give up, and the wicked are all Longteng to do!

"This old fellow! It is said that Stern has been strong in the NBA all his life, and it is really difficult to get along! He was able to turn the NBA, an underdog sport in the 80s, into a sport that influenced the whole world, and he really had a few brushes! Just now, he pretended to be pitiful and played the sad card on me, it seems that he was preparing for this request! Hmph, all I can say is that businessmen don't have a reliable ......"

Yang Yun thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons of all parties, and finally agreed.

The most effective way to persuade other game companies to give up is to say cruelly, "Whoever dares to make a live game in the NBA is against me", but this kind of coaxing and ruthless statement is very easy to attract hatred.

So this requirement, Yang Yun agreed quite reluctantly, he can achieve the monopoly and hegemony of a certain sub-category, but he can't stop other people from following the trend like moths to the fire, Long Teng, as an industry leader, must first restrain his words and deeds.

It seems that I can only think of other ways, try to see if I can kill EA with an overwhelming advantage, and then deter others?

"Old fox, while you are calculating me, aren't you worried that I am also calculating you? When the NBA becomes my WCG game and WCG becomes popular all over the world, it is not certain who will say when the time comes! After Yang Yun figured this out, he finally let go of his knot and signed a memorandum with Stern.

These are all conditions put forward by Stern to Yang Yun, and Yang Yun said that there is no problem at all, and the two sides cooperate happily.

As for KTT's Brown, he was originally a wingman of the dragon's own, and the game peers that Brown contacted became a foil this time, and he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to compete for the official NBA license for a random reason, and all three parties were happy.

Get Stern, and there is still Rutgers, the agent who doesn't make oil and salt, this kind of little person can be bought with only money, but how EA managed to make Rutgers willingly refuse to meet with Long Teng, Yang Yun and Jiang Shaoyun don't know.

There was a charity auction at the banquet, Yang Yun was not interested, he said to Jiang Shaoyun: "You stay here to spend money, I'll go to the stadium to watch the ball, and find someone by the way!" ”

He's going to take care of O'Neill himself!

The NBA All-Star Game generally lasts for 3 days, the first two days are the sophomore vs. first-year freshmen, the All-Star team practice game, fan interaction, three-point shooting, dunks, and skill contests, etc., until the last day is the main game of the East-West confrontation.

Today is the freshman match, Yang Yun didn't have much effort to find O'Neal who was playing on the sidelines, he was pulling a sophomore player, trying to disguise himself as a rookie, wanting to exchange jerseys through guò to achieve the purpose of playing in confusion.

The camera gives them a close-up close-up, and the microphone is handed over.

"Hi buddy, your number 32 jersey is exactly the same as mine! Let's swap! O'Neill put his arm around the second-year rookie's shoulders and lifted him enthusiastically.

The rookie couldn't help but laugh: "But our names are completely different!" My name is Billy and your name is O'Neill! ”

Half of O'Neill's body leaned on Billy's body, and he frowned and said, "Who cares?" I'll find a way to get the name on the number......"

Billy is 198CM tall, plays organizational guard, and was almost out of breath by the 150-kilogram O'Neal, but he didn't dare to offend the best center in the NBA now, the two laughed in the camera, O'Neal made witty remarks and rich expressions, making the game that had not yet started full of joy.

After O'Neal played the treasure, he finally returned to the sidelines and sat down, but unfortunately the position was a little far away from Yang Yun, and in the players and coaches on the opposite side of the court, Yang Yun could only look at each other regretfully, waiting for the game to start, and looking for a chance later.

Unexpectedly, just when the first- and second-year rookie competition was about to start, Robert of EA came to Yang Yun's side with a ghost.

"Yang, what is the outcome of your negotiations with Stern?" Robert was intrigued and seemed really unaware.

Yang Yun deliberately said with a gloomy face: "Since you are so familiar with him, why don't you ask him?" ”

Robert was in a better mood, patted his leg and smiled, "I don't have to ask to know the result." ”

"Then you're still asking me?"

"I just want to see your aggrieved expression with my own eyes! Yang, three years ago, you forcibly took away those Chinese employees from EA and plagiarized our EA's R&D technology, I believe that sooner or later you will be punished! Now that the NBA hierarchy doesn't support you, and the NBA stars don't control you, what qualifications do you have to compete with me? You are not welcome in the NBA, so don't expect to make NBA games! ”

Robert's initial laughter eventually turned into a vicious curse, and he wanted to provoke Yang Yun with it, and he looked at Yang Yun's embarrassed and angry appearance.

EA had waited a long time for this moment, and Robert was now thrilled at the thought of the angry appearance of Long Teng knocking on the door and being blocked from the NBA.

He saw Yang Yun and Brown and Stern leaving, so he followed and questioned Stern, but he only got the promise that the NBA would guarantee the interests of EA from Stern, so he came directly to the court to find Yang Yun's bad luck with a trace of doubt.

Now seeing Yang Yun's expression, Robert was in a great mood, and he finally put his mind at ease! (To be continued......)
