Chapter 258: Acting for World of Warcraft
Zhang Yang really doesn't want to offend these guys, it's not that he's afraid, it's unnecessary.
Although Zhang Yang looks at these guys very unpleasantly, he can't get rid of them.
I really can't do it.
"If we work with them, we make a profit.
However, the housing prices in Shencheng will get higher and higher, so it's up to you to get an idea. Ye Xinyi elaborated on her thoughts.
The benefits of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages.
If it were someone else, I guess I would have nodded early.
Isn't it foolish to push out the benefits of door-to-door delivery.
But this time it's flamboyant.
"No, to be tactful." After thinking about it, Zhang Yang still refused.
Although it is possible to obtain huge benefits, Zhang Yang also has his own ideas.
House prices can go up, but not by a big margin.
Zhang Yang can't control other places, but the housing prices in Shencheng must be controlled.
Especially Huifeng New District.
Zhang Yang is a native of Shencheng, and he doesn't want to make many people unable to afford to buy a house.
Moreover, if the new area wants to develop, it needs people and a huge passenger flow.
Once these guys are involved, it's hard to say if there is anybody.
"Got it." After hearing Zhang Yang's decision, Ye Xinyi had a bright smile on her face.
In fact, she also hopes that Zhang Yang will make such a decision in her heart.
Don't be blinded by interests.
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
Zhang Yang is not a gentleman, but he can't make any money without a bottom line.
"I know, you're busy, I'll leave it here." After getting Zhang Yang's answer, Ye Xinyi also knew what to say next.
The car headed towards the blizzard, Zhang Yang was next to Zhang Qian, Wang Qiang was sitting in front, and there were several cars behind, bodyguards, and lawyers.
Straight to the door.
When the boss of Blizzard heard that Huaxia's game company came to the door, he knew where the so-called came from.
During this time, it was not that Huaxia companies came to talk about cooperation, but they were not negotiated.
Blizzard refused to cooperate.
They all want to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and they are not stupid.
Now that new customers have come to the door again, of course, they are welcome.
Talk about cooperation, which can maximize benefits, with whichever one.
Oliver. Norman, at the helm of Blizzard.
He is very confident in his company's game World of Warcraft.
In other places, the agency rights of World of Warcraft have been sold, except for Huaxia.
Huaxia is the top priority, and if he can't find a good collaborator, he won't sell the agency easily.
Nowadays, there are only nine cities in Huaxia.
Oliver. Norman wasn't very happy with Nine Cities.
He thinks that the boss of Jiucheng is too petty, and if he really wants to give him the demon **, it may not be a good choice.
What he values is not only profit, but also reputation.
Oliver. Norman intends to make Warcraft a classic, a classic forever.
So Oliver. Norman has been waiting.
If there was no Huaxia game company that satisfied him, in the end, he could only give the Huaxia agent of Warcraft to the boss of Jiucheng.
Because I don't have a choice.
The boss of Jiucheng can be regarded as a capable person.
In 1999, Boss Zhu founded Jiucheng, due to the lack of main business of the company, it can only make a living by doing small forums, and it is very difficult to monetize.
Three years later, Boss Zhu spent 2 million US dollars + 30% profit sharing to buy the agency of the online game "Miracle Mu" in country H, imitating the routine of Shanda's agency "Legend" and getting the domestic online game market.
The picture quality and gameplay of "Miracle Mu" are one grade higher than that of "Legend".
One year after Jiucheng Packaging went public, it won 20 million players, more than 800 sets of servers, 300,000 people online at the same time, and a profit of 600 million a year, second only to 800 million "Legend", the obscure Jiucheng became the second pole of China's online games overnight.
got the first pot of gold, and Boss Zhu, who had tasted the sweetness, still set his sights on online games.
Online games make money, which is more reliable than real estate.
Real estate also needs a loan, and the risk is relatively large, but once you choose a good game, you can make money lying down, and you don't need him to develop it, how simple is it?
So he gambled again.
That's right, it's a big gamble.
Take a big gamble on World of Warcraft.
Some netizens commented that Boss Zhu was able to become the "first brother of online games", which was completely shit luck, and Blizzard was even "blind" to give him the agency of World of Warcraft.
In fact, otherwise, Boss Zhu was able to successfully win the agency of World of Warcraft, relying on daring to gamble.
Tsundere's Blizzard put forward extremely harsh proxy conditions: there must be an independent carrier-grade computer room, the servers in the computer room can only operate World of Warcraft, the server capacity must support 6,000 people online at the same time, and the agent must not interfere with Blizzard's operations.
At that time, none of the domestic online game companies had an independent computer room, and they all rented other people's servers, and wanting to represent World of Warcraft meant spending a lot of money to buy servers. In addition, an agency fee of no less than 10 million US dollars is paid to Blizzard every year.
Someone calculated an account, more than 10 million agency fees + independent computer room + 15% profit sharing, and only 45% of the profits that could fall into the agent's pocket in the end were earned by Blizzard.
Even so, the World of Warcraft agency is still highly sought after, with more than 25 online game companies participating in the competition in Huaxia, with 8 remaining in the second round and 4 in the third round.
The final winner is Boss Zhu, who won the four-year agency of World of Warcraft at a high price of 13 million US dollars + 22% profit share + 70 million US dollars for the construction of an independent computer room, and the industry said that Boss Zhu was crazy.
If you include the pre-game publicity costs, Nine Cities spent nearly 100 million US dollars for a World of Warcraft.
In order to make money, Jiucheng accelerated the listing plan, and 8 months after winning the agency of Warcraft, it successfully landed on the NASDAQ and became the "first stock of Huaxia online games", and the listing raised a total of 103 million US dollars.
A gamble is a gamble.
Once it fails, bankruptcy is a certainty.
In fact, Zhang Yang also had a headache, when he knew that Blizzard had gathered a lot of Huaxia game companies, he knew that it was impossible to pick up cheap!
It is estimated that the other party is also waiting for the price to be cleaned.
Damn.
But what can Zhang Yang do?
If you want to win the agency of Warcraft, you can't be less than $13 million + 22% profit share + $70 million in independent computer room construction fees.
22% profit share is a bit too much, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to pay so much.
Zhang Yang remembers very clearly that World of Warcraft's annual income in Huaxia is not less than 2 billion US dollars, how could he see so many funds all owned by Blizzard?
$100 million plus 10% royalty.
I don't know if the other party will agree.
If you don't agree to continue to increase the price, it is absolutely impossible to give the other party more than 15% of the share.
Soon, Zhang Yang and Oliver. Norman met.
When he saw the flamboyance, Oliver. Norman didn't expect the boss of the game company to be so young?
Huifeng Games, Oliver. Norman hadn't really heard of it.
"Mr. Zhang, I believe you know what the current situation is, but you have a lot of game companies in Huaxia, and they are all waiting for our news." Oliver. Norman looked at Zhang Yang with a smile on his face.
This guy's meaning is already obvious, don't waste your tongue, just make an offer.
It's like eating him.
Zhang Yang was very depressed.
Special meow, I was really eaten by this guy.
The agency of World of Warcraft, he is bound to win.
"200 million US dollars, five years of Huaxia agency." After thinking about it, Zhang Yang directly gave a price.
That's not a low price, Oliver. Norman was also stunned when he heard this.
200 million US dollars, can this kid take it out?
That's not a small amount.
He was a little skeptical.
"Oliver. Mr. Norman, if you can, you can pay now. Zhang Yang strengthened his confidence.
If this guy really agrees, he will definitely pay immediately.
200 million US dollars to buy the agency rights of Huaxia for five years is simply too cost-effective.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, we won't sell all the agency rights." Although Oliver. Norman was tempted, but still didn't want to sell ownership.
"That's okay, 30 million US dollars agency, give you 10% of the share, and 70 million US dollars to build an independent computer room."
Zhang Yang once again said a price.
Although he was disappointed, Zhang Yang also knew that Blizzard would not sell the Huaxia agency.
Naturally, this is the case, and we can only retreat.
“no。
Mr. Zhang, the price you gave is indeed very high, but someone is not lower than you. "Oliver. Norman didn't hide it.
As for who he said, Zhang Yang naturally knew it.
Boss Zhu.
Boss Zhu acted as an agent for four years, but he wanted five years.
"50 million dollar agency fee, this is the limit we can afford, if Oliver. Norman is not satisfied, and we have nothing to do! Zhang Yang said with a wry smile on his face.
Actually, he pretended.
He's going to get Oliver. Norman knew that this was the limit of what they could afford.
After hearing this condition, Oliver. Norman also pondered.
To be honest, Zhang Yang is the company that has given the most.
If this kid can really come up with so much cash, it is okay to cooperate with him.
That Boss Zhu can't come up with so much cash, which is also Oliver. Why Norman didn't want to work with him......
