"Chengda, Penguin, Dog City, Pig Farm ......"

Seeing the list of agents on the other side of the Pacific who are interested in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" game, not only Stern, but also Charlotte is a little confused.

——There are not a few famous enterprises in the future!

However, Charlotte also knows that unlike North America, where the IT industry has developed for many years, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean because the Internet industry is just emerging, the future giants are just small fish and shrimp at this time.

Moreover, because the previous Internet economic bubble burst, there are not a few companies on the other side of the strait that have been affected.

In fact, due to the relative immaturity of the cross-strait economic system, the joints between many industries have not yet been fully opened, which makes it even more difficult for Internet companies on the other side to make profits.

But at this time, there was a richest man engaged in the Internet industry on the other side.

- Of course, it's not ET and it's not Pony.

——The two future horse bosses are still developing obscenely at this time.

The richest man is Chen Xqiao.

Although in Charlotte's time and space, the Chengda founded by this gentleman will become weaker and weaker in the future, and almost transformed into an investment company after 2015, its impact on the history of the cross-strait Internet industry is very huge-

It can be said that in the future, the Batman (BAT) triumvirate on the other side, its main areas and profit models combined, plus Tudou Youku or something, are basically the "Internet Disney" plan originally conceived by Chen Xqiao.

It's a pity that although this gentleman is respected as the No. 1 strategy master in the Internet industry on the other side, his company's realization ability is very average, so that his idea could not be implemented until it was later overtaken by the BAT Big Three.

— and then realized his vision for him.

However, at this time in 2004, Chen Xqiao was still very good-

Relying on the online game "Legend", he can be called the first brother in the Internet industry on the other side of the Pacific at this time, and once became the richest man on the other side.

- This is already legendary, and the process of its development is even more "legendary" -

When he first got the agency rights of "Legend", his company's capital chain was close to breaking, and in order to run an online game, in addition to the agency rights and the game itself, server and network bandwidth are also necessary.

In this case, he first borrowed the server for nothing, and then borrowed the bandwidth for a period of time by borrowing the server for nothing......

This kind of empty glove white wolf method is the same as the history of the other richest man in real estate on the other side, which makes people stunned and terrified at the same time-

After all, in the 80s on the other side of the strait, it was not an easy thing to be able to get a batch of supplies at will, rent a train and transport them to HK.

In contrast, it may be that the "small goal" of "100 million" really has a small goal......

- After all, it's not just about ability, it's more about context......

Of course, the North American side is actually not far behind on this poisonous chicken soup issue-

You must know that when countless IT people's idol classmates first made their fortunes, when they got the initial version of the DOS system from IBM, his mother was on the board of directors of IBM......

In short, on the other side of the Pacific in 2004, because of Chen Xqiao's incentive, countless Internet companies realized that online games were a feasible way for them to achieve profitability.

"If you have a game in your hand, you can make money!"

- This is not only a slogan, but also, to some extent, a true portrayal of this era.

However, there are not many game developers on the other side of the Pacific in this era.

In this case, the agents who have turned from all walks of life to be game agents are eyeing overseas products -

The neighboring stick country is naturally the first choice, after all, there are successful examples;

The game industry in the country of Maruko, which is not far away, is developed, and they will naturally not let it go;

Although there are greater cultural differences between European and American games, in this era where you can make money with a game, there are many interested agents.

In particular, Ghost Party Studios' "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is a movie-game linkage, which is very conducive to publicity now that the last part of the movie trilogy is about to be released.

Not to mention, the game of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 has already been in open beta in North America and has caused a sensation, and in this case, fools know that the opportunity to introduce this game to make a lot of money is huge.

Therefore, many companies with vision and strength on the other side of the strait have smelled the smell and come over......

"But which one is the best agent?"

Charlotte knows how big the online game market on the other side of the Pacific will become, and unlike the gradual explosion of the film market, the expansion of the game market on the other side of the strait is almost explosive.

So, when Stern in the game department didn't know how to choose an agent across the Pacific, he took it over with half interest and half attention.

In fact, because it has only been on the rise for a few years, most of the game affiliates on the other side of the Pacific are novices, and they are far less likely to be eliminated from the market after 2012 in Charlotte's original plane.

At this time, it was still 2004, and the Internet industry on the other side of the Pacific was still in the era of competition, even the famous pig farms and penguins in the future were not very strong at this time. And their ability to operate and promote the game is completely not behind other opponents.

- In this regard, on the contrary, Cheng Da, who has successfully operated "Legend", is relatively more experienced.

"But the problem is that there are vested interest groups within Chengda, which may interfere with the promotion of new games!"

Charlotte's thinking circuit is a little darker.

However, as a master of deception, he √ understanding of human nature and society, which made him understand that this possibility is inevitable -

If there are multiple competing project teams within an enterprise, it is easy to interfere with each other.

Especially when the company can only have one main development direction -

It's like growing up.

In Charlotte's original time and space, this company has been spinning around in the "Legend" category because of the success of "Legend", and other projects, whether it is agency or self-development, are not successful.

But when these projects or people are poached to other companies, there are not a few successful ones.

- Like Shi Yzhu's "Journey", the production team dug it from Chengda.

- Charlotte can't say that Journey is a fun game, but it's undoubtedly a commercial success.

...... In short, because of possible malicious competition within Chengda, Charlotte abandoned the company with the most experience in game operations.

Among the remaining companies, the actual gap at the moment is really not large.

"Why don't you just get a higher price?"

Charlotte considered whether to be more simple and rude, but saw that the best bidder on the other side of the Pacific was actually a company called Sheng Xuanming......

"Forget it!"

- After all, as a time-traveling otaku, Charlotte has still played "Age of Exploration Online".

——And Sheng Xuanming is the strange company that killed the future of this big IP game in the Pacific market.

"Let's choose a company that can get ahead in the future!"

Charlotte thought helplessly.
