In the face of Robert's questioning and inquiry, Stern turned his face sideways, smiled and whispered: "I'm sorry Robert, this is a collective decision of the NBA top management......"

Robert asked unwillingly, "Didn't you say that it won't affect EA's interests?" ”

Stern was smiling at the public, then turned sideways and quickly put away his smile, and said quickly: "Of course it doesn't matter, you are not from the same platform!" Robert, there are so many people here, you have to pay attention to the image, don't mess up the signing party! ”

Robert was pressed by this big hat, and did not dare to act rashly for a while, and the anger he suppressed made his face even paler, and his face alternated between white and red, a mixture of grievance and anger.

He looked at Yang Yun and found that the other party was still that light-hearted, so he looked at him calmly, looking not anxious at all, not proud at all, as if to say, "What should be obtained is mine, and no one can take away the glory that belongs to me."

"Yang, bastard...... He actually convinced so many people in the NBA hierarchy! Matt, that guy is a bastard too, what bullshit Congressman, didn't he say that he had an exclusive mandate? Stern is even more of a bastard, and if Dragon Teng is authorized, how can EA's interests not be affected? Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open! ”

Robert clenched his fists and glared at Yang Yun and Stern angrily, he was about to run away, if it weren't for the fact that today's occasion was too special, he would definitely immediately turn his face on the spot and ask what Stern and Yang Yun had done!

"Mr. President, is it convenient to disclose the specific content of the cooperation?" A reporter in the audience began to ask, "There are many large-scale game companies in the world. Why only choose EA and Longteng? ”

Stern raised an eyebrow and smiled, "EA is a first-class PC game manufacturer, and they also work with Sony's PS platform. And Longteng's SS console is the game platform with the largest market share in the TV industry. By partnering with them, the NBA can guarantee all-round coverage in the global gaming community, which is a win-win-win for us! As for other game companies, we don't have restrictions on their entry barriers, such as Nintendo, which we also welcome! ”

"Dog/!" Robert scolded in his heart, and he still wants to welcome Nintendo?

"I'll ...... You Stern is standing and talking without a backache! Do you want the whole world to be my enemy? Yang Yun also gave Stern a bad review in his heart. This old guy is too high-sounding, the benefits are all taken by them, and the bad guys have to be Yang Yundang.

Stern is familiar with this kind of talk. To put it mildly, for the NBA, sports and games do not conflict anyway, and it is better to add Nintendo to the supplier directory. NEC。 Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Motorola, that's really covering all the video game fields, all the software and hardware, all contributing to his NBA promotion.

To EA, it doesn't sound like it has any impact at all. There is EA for PC and Sony PS for TV. Players love to play NBA games and are willing to spend money on game discs that will always be theirs and will have to be bought sooner or later.

And Dragon Teng is in charge of developing games for the SS platform, does this conflict with PC and PS? Just now, Stern seized this point and asked Robert, what he meant was: "Longteng has not developed a PS version, nor has it developed a PC version, how will your EA be affected?" ”

Robert, of course, will protest: "Idiot, of course there is a conflict!" If there is an SS version of an NBA game, who will buy the PS and PC versions? And who said that Dragon doesn't make PC games itself? Dragon has always wanted to develop into PC games, how can it not affect the interests of our EA? ”

But Robert can only say this sentence from his heart, if he dares to say it openly, the first one who will not spare him is Sony himself, he will also be ridiculed by everyone, he doesn't even dare to compete, he is afraid when he hears the name Long Teng, this is scared by Long Teng!

And Yang Yun will definitely reply: "We Longteng don't mind fair competition, if you EA and Sony are afraid, it's better to quit early, so as not to waste huge R&D funds, not to mention, but also delay time, and even the capital can't come back!" Wash up and go to bed early! ”

If it really falls to this point, EA won't have to live, it's good to close the business directly, and come out to compete?

Anyway, it's another mess, NBA, EA, Dragon, Sony, these aspects are entangled again, and it's another tough battle to be fought!

The reporters in the audience took turns asking about the contract, and as long as it was not about the details, Stern would reveal one or two.

Yang Yun and Robert didn't speak, they occasionally looked at each other, ten minutes ago, the two of them were at most a small struggle of the flames, but now they have become raging flames, becoming more vigorous, to the point where either you die or I die.

Robert quickly thought about what to do, and now that EA has not signed with the NBA, and Stern's approach is clearly not in EA's interest, he must renegotiate with EA's board of directors.

But he didn't act rashly, because Stern's attitude made him understand one thing, Stern deliberately did not give EA time to react, and tried to sign in front of all the media to force him to sign the contract quickly, and he could not regret it in the future, and everything was subject to the contract.

If he asks to suspend the signing, he has to go back and discuss it again, or simply flip the table and turn his face directly, then Stern will not hesitate to sign the contract with Longteng and abandon EA without discussion.

"What tricks did Long Teng use to make Stern willing to spend such a large amount of money and risk offending our EA to carry this out? Is there any special reason for this? Robert didn't dare to act rashly because he thought of it.

He was not the only one who thought of this, and the only professional organization on the scene that favored sports games asked: "Why did the NBA choose Dragon Cooperation?" Is there any special intention? Can the addition of Longteng influence 1.2 billion Chinese to enjoy watching NBA games and making them enjoy playing NBA games? ”

This is a good opportunity to promote himself, Yang Yun smiled: "I believe that after Longteng joins, not only 1.2 billion Chinese will pay attention to the NBA, but also not only Chinese gamers play NBA games." Dragon Games has 400 million followers in other countries around the world, and we are ready to launch World-Cyber-Games to make it a world-class event for esports and make NBA games a competitive game, and I think this is probably the best way to promote the NBA in our game industry, right? ”

Wow......

The words stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and many people shook their heads to express their disbelief.

In basketball, everyone has only heard of the Olympic Games, the World Championships, then the NBA, the European Basketball League, and now there is another WCG basketball game competition.

"Mr. Yang, is your WCG intended to be a quadrennial Olympic model?"

"No, once a year! E-sports technology is changing with each passing day, four years is too long, and once a year is the most suitable, in fact, everyone can understand it as a game league like sports. ”

"Can playing games be considered sports as well? I'm afraid that no country in the world has such a regulation now, right? ”

"No one rules now, but that doesn't mean that no country will include esports as a national sport in the future. The promotion of WCG is not something that can be accepted by the whole world in a day or two, and it has taken 50 years for the NBA to develop. ”

For Yang Yun, even if he is in his seventies and eighties, as long as the competitive spirit does not die and Longteng does not go bankrupt, WCG can continue to do it forever, so that China will always become the core of the world's video game competition, and it is not impossible to build it into a century-old brand.

But other people don't understand it that way, they only see the 50 years that the NBA has existed, but they can't believe that the future WCG can't see the 50 years, so most people are skeptical.

"Could it be that WCG is going to create a global video game event? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Are you going to have a bunch of kids with a handle and stand in front of a TV and then the winner will win the gold medal in one of these Olympiads? Isn't it a little too child's play? ”

The last question immediately resonated with the audience, and people thought it was incredible, so that a few children could play video games and win the first place in the world? The world's number one is too goldless, this is disrespectful to the title of the world's first, and it is an insult!

Yang Yun knows very well in his heart that people will have a long period of adaptation before accepting new things.

Especially in the current IT industry, the development of the Internet is slow, and the Internet era has just entered the experimental stage, video games and IT software have not yet seen the effect of widespread circulation, and many people are stuck in the old thinking, thinking that games are such an illusory thing that can never be compared with various sports competitions in the real world.

The people who create an era will definitely be questioned, and the times will slowly change the minds of these people, so Yang Yun doesn't have to argue at all, for this question, Yang Yun answered like this.

"I don't want to judge the quality of video game competition, but since I'm in this business, then I'm going to love it. After exhausting my life, I also want to work hard to promote video games around the world. People live in this world, how can they reflect their value if they don't work hard? I guarantee that the NBA game made by Longteng will definitely appear in the first WCG, and as for the global influence of WCG, you can wait and see! (To be continued......)
