Chapter 27 Game Copyright Dispute (A has been signed, ask for collection)

Duke was depressed for a while, remembering that the work at hand had not been done, so he put this matter aside, and began to coordinate Kerry to implant the advertising platform into the Sala input method, the original version has reserved the advertising module interface, and soon Kerry will complete the official version of the PC version of Sala1.0 with ads, Duke will copy the completed program into the USB flash drive, ready to be brought to the company tomorrow after the release.

After doing all this, Duke felt that he was still very energetic, obviously still within the validity period of the latte, so he simply began to study the development framework based on Android, and in the afternoon Kerry had already completed the porting based on the Android 2.3 version under the downloaded materials.

Because the Android2.3 version of NDK directly supports C/C++ development, Kerry only needs to modify the relevant parts of the system call in the original application, such as the underlying voice capture part of the module, directly modify it on the basis of the original program, when it comes to API calls, for Kerry's supercomputer, it is too simple, as long as the API description file is downloaded and entered, there is nothing to do with Duke.

It's just that the compatibility of this ported version completed by Kerry is not very good, and it can't run for Android2.3 before the version, and there is no simulation test for the subsequent version, although for the task assigned by Cai Siqiang, this is enough, and being able to run on the mobile phone is enough to explain the problem, so that Gemdale's technicians have nothing to say.

But Duke couldn't sleep at this time, thinking that being idle was also idle, so he calmed down and began to study how to be perfect, and in the case of rules, Kerry can do it perfectly, but for this kind of open-minded activity, the human brain still wins over the computer.

Duke downloaded enough information, Kerry's retrieval is extremely convenient, and soon found a new solution to the compatibility: the original C++ program transformation of the Sala input method, the core algorithm compiled into Android's so dynamic library, so that the application can use the JNI method to make JA-VA calls, through which it can perfectly solve the compatibility problems of old versions of mobile phones such as Android1.5 and Android1.6.

What's more, the program source code generated by Kerry is almost not readable, everything is generated according to efficiency, and if there is no Kerry, even Duke can't understand it, which is very unfavorable for follow-up collaborative development, so that Duke can't get out of it. However, once the core algorithm is compiled into the So dynamic library, Duke can rest assured that he can get rid of this work and completely hand over the upper-layer application development to others to develop, and Duke only needs to make sure that the core algorithm dynamic library is updated.

As a side of secrecy, Duke doesn't need to open source the core code, so it can enable upper-level application developers to do everything they want, laying the groundwork for limited future collaborations with other companies, after all, it's safer to have this revolutionary result in its own hands.

When Duke instructed Kerry to implement the new solution, transform and compile the SO dynamic library, build a new development environment, and re-implement the Sala input method under the new architecture, the effect of the latte gradually disappeared, and Duke, who used his brain excessively, slept until ten o'clock the next day and woke up from sleep satisfied.

Duke took the phone, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that there were dozens of missed calls on the phone, in order to get enough sleep, Duke habitually put the phone into silent mode before going to bed at night, so Duke was completely unconscious when these calls came in.

Duke looked through these missed calls, Cai Siqiang called one after eight o'clock in the morning, it seems that the matter is not a big deal, otherwise with his character, he can definitely blow up Duke's mobile phone; The others were all played by Qin Chu and the Hellfire editor, and these two people seemed to be crazy from eight o'clock, almost every few minutes.

Duke called Cai Siqiang first, and sure enough, there was nothing to do, but to ask about the progress of the transplant, because Gemdale called, and next Tuesday the Gemdale boss would come over to talk about cooperation, Cai Siqiang hoped that Duke could come out with a demo version before this point in time, and as soon as he heard this, Duke immediately patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and he would definitely come up with a demo version at that time.

Then by the way, I reported that the official version with advertisements had been completed, and considering that I got up too late today, Duke sent the version over through the computer, and after washing up and finding something to eat, he began to reply to Qin Chu and Hellfire's phone calls.

Mr. spoke to Qin Chu, and Director Qin said very euphemistically that he had asked the senior management, but the senior management said that it was difficult to accept the proposal of this sharing and asked for a direct buyout. Then I spoke to the Hellfire editor, and I agreed to divide it, but the proposal of three to five percent made Duke depressed again and wanted to run away, and Duke couldn't help but feel a little furious about this share ratio, which was far lower than expected.

"What, three to five percent, big fire, is this your sincerity?" Duke almost yelled at the phone with a grim face. To be honest, Duke is a bit wronged by the Hellfire editor, according to the current market, this proportion is actually not too low, after all, there are too many links in the game industry to spend money.

Although the gross profit of a single successful game is very amazing, but the game company is not only a successful game, but also a lot of it is lost, especially in recent years, after the fierce competition, there are fewer successes and many failures, so that on average, the gross profit of the entire game company is not too high, in fact, in addition to the top few in the game industry to earn most of the profits, many small and medium-sized game companies are actually quite bleak.

"Duke, in fact, this ratio is already a lot, if it is operated well, the gross income of this game should not be a big problem of hundreds of millions of yuan, so it is also three or five million income. Last year, the adaptation rights of online games, the highest seems to have signed for three million," Hellfire heard Duke's grievances and couldn't help but explain carefully.

"Actually, you might as well sell out, so that all the risks are transferred to the game company, and you can also settle down, according to the current trend, it is very likely to sign a three-million." Hellfire is doing Duke's job again. Because according to his estimation with the editor-in-chief, this popular novel is adapted into a game, if it is operated properly, it is very likely to become one of the top ten games next year, of course, the company's investment must be large enough, as long as the game production level is guaranteed, it is a high probability event to become the top ten.

Once it can enter the top ten games, the income of hundreds of millions of yuan is really not a problem, and even the gross income of three or five hundred million is not unimaginable. The only worry that Hellfire and the editor-in-chief are worried about is that the company has limited funds and cannot guarantee that enough resources will be invested in the development of this work, and the development team is only second-rate in the industry, so the investment is not enough, and the production level of this drama is indeed a big problem, so no matter how good the plot is, it will be in vain.

Therefore, Hellfire persuaded Duke to sell the game copyright directly for cash, which is also a kind of risk-averse kindness, after all, this price is also the top level of the current online literature industry, if it weren't for the strong disruption of Shengda Company now, the company is eager to get the copyright, and it is difficult to give such a high price.

"Three million, can I understand that this is your highest offer right now?" Duke asked, hearing Hellfire say this. "Oh, this price is still my estimate, and I need to talk to the boss of the company about how much it is."

When Hellfire heard it, he felt that something was wrong, how could a valuation he casually said become the company's highest offer, no, I have to clarify, so I hurriedly added.

In fact, what is the specific price of the company's purchase, Hellfire has no bottom in his heart, although the boss said that he handed over the matter of taking the copyright to him, but this bottom line has not been clearly stated, and this price is indeed only estimated by him with reference to the top transactions in recent years.

"And when can you give an exact number?" Duke pressed on, not planning to give much buffer time to the Hellfire editors. Although the price quoted by Hellfire is a huge income for Duke, after all, the electronic publishing rights have only been sold for 1.5 million, and now the game copyright has been expected to be negotiated for 3 million, and according to the sharing agreement, Duke can get 1.8 million.

For a writer, there is nothing better than this, in exchange for yesterday before meeting Qin Chu, Duke may not agree to it, but now Duke has been burned by Qin Chu in the fantasy fire of the Chinese version of Warcraft, this game copyright is not just a matter of money, Duke very much wants to cooperate with a very powerful game company to build it into an epic work, and in order to do this, Duke must first solve the problem of priority with the company.

"This" Hellfire was stunned, "I'll report to the boss of the company first and then reply to you, okay" Unconsciously, Hellfire is completely in a weak position, when a newcomer can ride on the editor's head, hung up the phone Hellfire thought of this problem, and was very indignant in his heart, grabbed a bottle of Sprite, drank a big sip fiercely, and waited for the carbon dioxide to disappear into his mouth with fire, Hellfire reorganized his emotions, stepped into the editor-in-chief's room, and began to report and ask for instructions face-to-face.

The editor-in-chief listened carefully to the report of Hellfire, and groaned for a while, before frowning, and said with a sneer, "Could it be that this young man wants to buy back the copyright of this game so that he can sell it for a high price?" This sentence is both like asking Hellfire and talking to himself, Hellfire didn't understand the boss's intentions for a while, so he had to pretend.

"When did the newcomers become so powerful, three million! It's not a penny too much, tell that arrogant boy that this price is our highest price" The editor-in-chief thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said.

This price is indeed a bit high, the company's boss, and he still has to work hard to convince him, but the situation is pressing, this novel is already complete, and the quality is indeed second to none in recent years. Hearing the boss quote the figure of three million, Hellfire finally returned to normal, and it should be fun to talk to Duke at this price.

"Duke, three million, our boss said, according to the highest price in the current online article, the copyright is purchased by our parent company, Duke, this is great news, I have been fighting for you for a long time at the boss, should you treat yourself?" Hellfire dialed Duke's phone with a bit of joy, and of course, his share of the big deal was also very considerable.

Therefore, it can be regarded as a win-win situation, not a win-win situation, and the company's task has been opened and completed perfectly.

"Then we will settle according to three million, and I will pay your company the forty percent of 1.2 million to get the game adaptation rights back." Duke's words were fluttering, but they exploded in Hellfire's ears like thunder, this Duke really dared to think about it. For Duke's statement, the hellfire was speechless for a while, and the joyful sunny day mood just now was suddenly extinguished by this downpour.

"Duke, are you sure you want to do that?" Half-loud hellfire before he asked astringently. "There is no problem, we can sign the contract now." Duke said categorically that he was determined to get the game rights back.

Because Duke suddenly thought that instead of letting others develop this game, it is better to do it himself, whether it is for the understanding of the story or the materials that can be referenced, it is easier to lead the development to create a classic, although he has never studied to develop games before, but he did not play less when he was in graduate school in the laboratory, and almost all the classic games were played at that time.

However, Duke has yet to play an RPG that is commanded entirely by voice, and yes, Duke has already thought of applying his own voice recognition technology to this game, and in this way, the biggest selling point of this game appears. This unique function of voice command alone should become the favorite of many otaku and otaku.

What's more, there are many highlights worth creating in this plot. As for the technical problem, just kidding, with Kerry, who else in this world can be higher than him in technology?

Duke's insistence,In the next two days, finally negotiated with the company to repurchase the game copyright,Just settle with the electronic publishing copyright fee,Duke also greatly saved a tax,Yes,Although this seems to be walking in the gray area of legal and illegal,But people are alive,For this thing that benefits both parties,Before the cost is not delivered,The two sides re-agreed on the details of the copyright transaction,It is easy to deal with this matter properly,Even if the tax bureau comes to check the accounts, there is no problem at all, Who says that the contract cannot be changed?

In this way, Duke gave up the 1.2 million electronic copyright fees he received, but got back the complete game copyright.

ps: I'm speechless, JA-VA was forced to add a line, saying that the word A.V appeared
