At first glance, when he heard that Tim actually proposed conditions with him, Yang Yun's first reaction was also angry, whether it was Sam, a technical talent, or Tim, the founder of the company, it was not a big deal, could the founder be amazing? The joke is just that Yang Yun knows that there is such a group of people, so he recruits them by the way, and he is too lazy to find someone to replace them, and he really regards himself as an indispensable talent?

Even if it's a CA company, so what? He hasn't developed "Total War" yet, and now he's still working hard for others, and he's still developing rugby games for EA-Sports, why is he so confident that he refuses to be a dragon and put forward conditions?

thought a lot for a moment, but when Yang Yun saw that there was no treachery, cunning, and bargaining in Tim's eyes, there was no trace of businessman's treachery, cunning, and bargaining, but the kind of very sincere, casual, and very understated look, which seemed to be evident and had a trace of expectation, indicating that CA was also interested in cooperating with Longteng.

Yang Yun suddenly felt that this person was very interesting, and the little displeasure immediately disappeared.

It seems that Tim, the founder of CA, should have such a personality, he is the kind of typical European style of doing things, he follows the rules, there is one thing to say, and he will never try to fool if he can't do it, he is not exaggerated, he is not hypocritical, he first puts forward the conditions, we can cooperate well, and if we can't cooperate, we don't force it.

Many businessmen in Europe and the United States are like this, which is very different from the habit of Chinese businessmen who calculate their gains and losses day by day, most of them honestly abide by the contract and contract, and it is rare to sign a contract and then dig out the hollow to find loopholes, and be anxious and always keep an eye on the situation. So when Yang Yun realized this, he felt extremely relieved. He liked to deal with such businessmen the most.

"It's okay to call me Yang, and call Mr. a raw character." Yang Yun smiled.

"You can call me Tim too!" Tim Ansel is neither humble nor arrogant.

Yang Yun asked, "You just said." What is the other form of cooperation between our two companies? No, I'm not going to agree to hand over a game that was the originator of the game, a platinum game, and a game that will sell well all over the world in the future, to a joint venture company. So, since Sam is very important to the Ansel family and to CA, and I appreciate Sam very much, can I just buy your CA company as a whole? Then you will not be separated from each other. Right? ”

Burst......

Pete and Sam almost squirted out the tea, and when they heard Tim's condition just now, they planned to use water to cover up their embarrassment, but they were choked by Yang Yun's more unreasonable request.

Who are these people? One does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the pebble to hit the stone to put forward non-point requirements, the other to bully the small and straightforwardly take money to open the way, we are a game company, not the Wall Street out of the gang do not understand any games, only know the modern business management of the traders! The two looked at each other and felt very helpless.

And both CEOs are programmers who are engaged in technology. Having designed a number of best-selling games by hand, when did you develop the habit of not doing this kind of foreplay and going straight to the theme to smash Huanglong? Wouldn't this turn into a money transaction for Chiguoguo?

The conditions put forward by one side are too harsh. The other party directly smashes the opponent with money, this kind of game is not fun, it is really boring.

Pete and Sam looked at the other two who were staring at each other with wide eyes. I don't know what to say, it's quite boring. But neither of them could change either side of the negotiations.

Next, Tim still looked at Yang Yun very sincerely. Shaking his head, he said, "It's not very good Yang, CA is my brainchild, and I don't have any plans to sell it for the time being." We just finished working with EA last month, and the final payment has been received, we have enough funds to scale up, we will recruit enough people to develop new projects, and we will ......"

Yang Yun interrupted him: "But what does the expansion and development of CA have to do with us? Dragon is just a few experienced programmers working on a new game for me. I am willing to give preference to acquaintances I know and give priority to recruiting friends introduced by Longteng employees, but the premise is that they must become Longteng employees. Of course, if CA is unwilling, I will not be reluctant, Longteng very much welcomes CA to release SS platform games, and we are willing to give CA generous treatment. ”

Tim wasn't angry: "Actually, there are many companies that have asked me to buy them, such as EA, Ubisoft, and even Disney, but I didn't agree to all of them. Yang, you know, the value of CA can't be very high until we make a great game, we are a growth company, and no one can predict how high we can achieve in the future. ”

Yang Yun picked up the water cup, took a sip of it to himself, and said: "Well, no one can say what will happen in the future, but don't take other people for fools, now the capital predators prefer venture capital, rather than waiting for you to become famous and then spend a high price to buy." If CA really makes a good game, the company's assets are hundreds of millions of dollars, of course Longteng will give up buying, it is better to spend this money to invest in the development of similar games, and then sell them on the Longteng platform! ”

The two of them seemed to be talking to themselves, each saying their own requirements and thoughts, both standing on their own side, not caring about each other's feelings, and the words they said became more and more unpleasant.

Pete and Sam didn't know what to say for a long time, and Tim was clearly on the weak side, and if CA didn't submit, he would have to wait to be imitated by Yang Yun, and then use the vast influence of the Dragon Platform to replace him.

If this is the case, even if legal means are used to hold Longteng accountable for plagiarism, the effect is very limited, before Longteng is judged to lose the lawsuit, CA is likely to be defeated by Longteng, the plaintiff is bankrupt, who will continue to pursue the defendant?

Yang Yun looked at Tim's frowning appearance, but he was actually thinking about his own countermeasures in his heart.

If CA comes out with "Total War", if Longteng really launches a similar "World War", and then uses the SU platform, or the next-generation DC platform to compete for game fans, with a huge base of users to ensure efficiency and profits, and compete for fans of the same type of games, isn't this the same as the unscrupulous Chinese enterprise Penguin Company in later generations?

In China, because of a large number of basic users, Penguin can be said to be invincible, and any good game entering the Chinese market, Penguin will intervene to make similar games with high imitations, and squeeze down those fun indie games, such as replacing "Happy Farm" with Penguin Farm, killing "Bubble Hall" with Penguin Hall, crushing "Running Kart" with Penguin Speed, and overturning the former boss with a controversial FPS shooting game.

Yang Yun has always disliked this approach from the bottom of his heart, and the vast user base should be nuclear weapons in the hands of superpowers, which should play a deterrent role, rather than being launched frequently and used as ordinary bombs to hit the enemy.

Otherwise, the power of this nuclear weapon is too great, there is no competitor to resist it, Penguin has been doing this for a long time, it will really cause public indignation in the IT industry, and everyone is disgusted, but they themselves are unconscious, using nuclear bombs to open the way, what industry to make money and what it does, unscrupulous very.

So he himself has been adhering to this principle all these years, although Longteng is constantly making those world-class classic games in advance, but he has never done a fun game from another company, and he immediately followed a similar game and then beat others to death.

He either made it at the same time as his competitors, or he simply bought them out, and he always tried to make the game different from the original in his memory, and the only way to do it was to make a "Dakar Rally" against "Need for Speed", which was actually a left-handed fight right-handed, and it was completely different from the professionalism.

Saying this kind of thing to Tim is also just scaring and scaring the other party, and he is a game platform company to embarrass a simple game manufacturer, which is not equal at all.

If the interlocutor is Ken Kutagi, the threat will become a reality, and Ryuteng will instantly transform into Das-Sony (Kill Sony).

"So, if I don't plan to sell CA, Longteng and CA won't be able to save the relationship?"

"No, Longteng welcomes CA to release SS versions of various PC games, and can also co-develop certain sports games, such as rugby, Longteng welcomes CA very much."

"Can you tell us a little bit about the type of game you're going to invite Sam to? Before it was made, you knew it had to be a platinum game? ”

"Of course, I'm very confident. And not only will they become platinum games, they will surely become popular games all over the world in the next few years! ”

"I noticed, you mean them, not it? Are you saying that there are a lot of games that you want to leave to us? ”

"Of course, how can Dragon Teng only make one game? Are CAs interested in joining? I'm willing to open the door to CA at any time......"

The two chatted like no one else, and they looked like opponents at the negotiating table, and even when the slow French meal was served, the two still did not reach a consensus.

But everyone agreed on a bottom line, if CA is willing to sell in the future, it will definitely notify Longteng to take over as soon as possible.

Although there was no agreement, everyone tasted food, drank red wine, talked and laughed, chatted about the game industry, enjoyed the future development trend, and gossiped about the troubles of well-known entrepreneurs in some industries, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Yang Yun shook hands with Tim Ansel, patted Sam on the shoulder, and after sending the two into the hotel taxi, he looked at Pete: "Although I didn't gain anything today, I'm still very happy." ”

Pete was a little regretful: "If Sam and they don't want to join, then I'll find another way." ”

Yang Yun laughed: "It's better to be like this, in the past few days, you can help contact Eidos in the UK, CDV in Germany, Nival in Russia, and we have sent invitations to all small game production companies in Europe, spread hero posts, and meet and persuade one by one?" ”

Pete was dizzy, this move was really ...... It's so ruthless!

But this is not like Mr. Yang's style! (To be continued......)
