Chapter 2 Blizzard is Crazy?
"I see."
Yamada hung up the phone with a gloomy face.
"Watanabe-kun, our plan failed this time, and a new company suddenly came out and snatched what originally belonged to us."
"That's $100,000 ......." Kazuo Watanabe frowned.
"The Americans refuse to retreat! The reason he gave me was: it's not that he didn't do it, but that this time the incident happened suddenly, and there is no way to undo it, so he won't return it to us. ”
Yamada's temples were a little swollen, and the sudden change disrupted his plan, and this dark horse that came out of thin air became the biggest winner of this game.
The other party's work was selected by Blizzard, and the two parties should be contacted soon, and the two parties will negotiate the content of the cooperation, and then sign a contract and hold a press conference. Yamada, who knows all these business processes, can imagine all the scenes, and the person who signed the contract should have belonged to himself, Watanabe Kaisha, or in other words, to Sony.
Rubbing his face with the palm of his hand and quickly cutting off the complicated thoughts in his mind, Yamada quickly cleared his mind and looked at Kazuo Watanabe.
"Watanabe-kun, since the incident has happened, we can't continue to dwell on the loss this time, but find a way to make up for it as much as possible."
"What should be done?"
Kazuo Watanabe also understood these truths and asked Yamada.
"I'll go to the headquarters first, and the company should formulate a new countermeasure, after all, Sony intends to officially move into this industry, and it is impossible to give up because of such a setback, Watanabe-kun can rest assured that our cooperation will not be terminated."
"I see, then I'll ask Yamada-kun a lot."
Yamada immediately dialed Sony's corporate headquarters, and then hurried to Sony's headquarters building in Tokyo, where Vice President Hideo Fukuda, who was in charge of formulating and overseeing the strategic plan. Awaits Yamada's report.
Yamada is a descendant of Hideo Fukuda, and it is also his confidant, in order to be able to get a greater say in the board of directors, Hideo Fukuda formulated this strategic plan, and Yamada was also assigned to Watanabe Kaisha to supervise the implementation of the plan, once something goes wrong with the plan, Yamada is a small matter, which may affect the identity of Hideo Fukuda's vice president.
The city of Tokyo, where every inch of land is at a premium, has a population of more than 13 million people, and land prices have risen again and again. It has soared to incredible heights, and many ordinary people have chosen to rent because they cannot afford to buy a house.
Unlike buying a house for the elderly in China, Japan is more accustomed to renting a house, so it is more convenient to move. Americans, on the other hand, are accustomed to borrowing money to spend and slowly repaying it when they are old. This is also the reason for the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008.
In such a city of Tokyo. The Sony building occupies a large piece of land in luxury, which is also determined by Sony's important position in the Japanese economy, and the Japanese government does not mind letting Sony add glory to itself, and some aspects will be properly taken care of.
Merely. With the rise of South Korea's Samsung Electronics, Sony's funds are a little tight, and there are rumors that Sony will sell the headquarters building.
Soon, Yamada entered the Sony headquarters building. This place that he yearns for on weekdays, but he has no intention of watching it at the moment.
On the 13th floor, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a touch of calmness, was waiting for Yamada.
…….
In Blizzard, Wilson, the deputy director of creativity, gave director Parr a resounding slap in the face, and a work that was killed by the director shone brightly in the hands of the deputy director, and the director vigorously promoted the work down, and the board of directors also began to consider Wilson's identity again.
Mike, the president of Blizzard, listened to Wilson in an internal meeting and wondered if he should reconsider Wilson.
"Although this guy was born in Vivendi and has a troublesome identity, he has good ability and vision, and he is also a hardcore player, after so many years in Blizzard, maybe my eyes were blinded before."
As the president, Mack's selfishness and xenophobia are by no means his style, although Wilson is Vivendi's hand to control Blizzard, but after Blizzard buys back most of its shares, Vivendi's control has become dispensable.
On Mike's desk, an animation work was playing on the computer, which was from Huaxia's Unigroup software, and the content was exquisite, so that Mike, the president, couldn't help but exclaim, compared with the Japanese Sony entry, Mike just glanced at it and made a decision on the spot.
After thinking about it for a moment, Mike dialed the secretary's number.
"Hey, put me in touch with Wilson, the deputy creative director, and ask him to come to my office."
Moments later, Wilson pushed the door open, feeling apprehensive and unsure of what his fate would be.
"Wilson, you did a good job this time, from now on, you are the creative director, and you are responsible for the negotiation with Unisplendour Software this time."
Wilson was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been promoted.
"Napal ......"
"I got the news that this guy took a kickback from Sony, this is his resignation letter, and he thinks he should go back and play the game."
Mike took out a letter of resignation from the drawer, and Wilson's heart couldn't help but get excited, he had persevered for so long, and finally entered the circle of Blizzard.
"I'll be in charge of the negotiations?"
"Of course, it was you who found out about them, don't worry, I will let the lawyer team negotiate with you, give them a reply letter first, and you will go to Huaxia in a few days, skilled people deserve our respect and deserve our so."
Mike's smile is a little playful, as a standard Blizzard person, love for technology and games is their first credo, and even when recruiting staff, they require the developer himself to be a senior game fan, obviously, the technical strength of Unisplendour Software has been recognized by him.
"No problem, I'll prepare for a trip to Huaxia in the next few days."
Wilson regained his composure after his agitation.
"Well, after the other party confirms the cooperation, release the news on the official website, these players have been looking forward to the second phase of CG for a long time, and we must give them a surprise."
……
Huaxia, H City.
Shortly after sending the email, Zixia received a reply from Blizzard, informing her that the work had been approved by Blizzard's board of directors, and she was looking forward to the cooperation between the two parties.
Receiving this email, it is impossible for Zixia not to be excited, Blizzard is now a large company, and Unisplendour Software is still far from it, and having potential does not mean that it has the corresponding strength now.
Zixia immediately made a decision, contacted Zhang Yang, and informed Zhang Yang of the good news.
Zhang Yang was now in physical education class, he looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and said after a while:
"Zixia, inform your subordinate employees that our work has been recognized by Blizzard, and we will cooperate immediately, and if the negotiation is successful, all employees' salaries will be increased by 10% this month."
"Up 10%? Are you so sure? You must know that this is our first order, and it is not yet profitable."
"Of course, I am very confident in this cooperation, and I will leave the negotiation to you, I don't know anything about this."
"No problem, anyway, we have to negotiate often in the future, and the company has hired a professional team of lawyers to negotiate with us." Zixia Road.
After finalizing the direction of development, Zixia immediately replied to Blizzard, expressing her willingness to cooperate, and then the two parties prepared to negotiate on the cooperation project and cost, and finally decided that the creative director Wilson would arrive in Huaxia three days later to be in charge of negotiations.
The cooperative relationship was confirmed, and the homepage of the official website of Blizzard and Unisplendour Software hung up this message for the first time, the official website of Unisplendour Software was made by its employees, and the company's logo was a water drop outlined with a brief line, and there were two videos hanging on the official website at the moment, one was to participate in the Blu-ray Forum competition before, and the other was Blizzard's entry, in addition, the official website only had some basic information, which seemed a little bare.
On Blizzard's official website, I don't know how many players browse every day, including the official website of its games, a while ago, Blizzard released the news that it will update the second phase of the game CG, and entered the audition stage of creative works.
Just now, a player in the national server World of Warcraft logged on to the official website and habitually refreshed the next page, resulting in a new news.
"Blizzard is about to officially release the second phase of the game CG, the cooperation involves its three platinum games, Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and World of Warcraft, has entered the negotiation stage, the partner is Huaxia Unisplendour Software Company, Blizzard creative director Wilson will personally rush to Huaxia to negotiate, and strive to start cooperation as much as possible, so stay tuned."
The player rubbed his eyes in disbelief to make sure he was not mistaken, and immediately cheered.
The cooperation with Blizzard turned out to be a domestic software company!
The news was like a bomb dropped in the water, and many players were boiling. Fortunately, foreign players replied to a few messages such as "I'm looking forward to" and "waiting for updates" under the announcement on the official website, which didn't cause much turmoil, but in China, it caused a lot of turmoil.
Azeroth National Geographic reprinted the news for the first time, and the moderators pinned it to the top of the homepage, which quickly caused countless replies from players.
"Cooperate with Huaxia? I'm not mistaken, right, domestic animation?? ”
"Is Blizzard getting a T-in the head or is it crazy, or is it a T-in my head? Is Blizzard going to be jubilant? ”
"Resolutely opposed, Blizzard should pursue quality, not blindly cater to the Chinese market."
Most of the replies below are questioning the technical strength of domestic production, and some of them express support and expectations, and the name of Unisplendour Software Company has also been reflected in the eyes of most people. (To be continued......)
