The next day, Lu Maoshi and others, under the recommendation of Zhou Quan, met with Caspar Ferguson, a high-ranking official of the Soviet Electronics Export Company.

Caspar Ferguson was a little surprised by Lu Maoshi's purpose.

And companies came to the USSR to buy game rights?

The Soviet Union did not communicate with the West and RB, whether it was the American Atari game console or RB's fc red and white game console, there was no shadow in the Soviet Union.

Unexpectedly, it is surprising that a Chinese company would come all the way to Moscow to buy the rights to the game.

Caspar Ferguson told Lu Maoshi and others that he would wait for them to study Tetris before the two sides negotiated.

Just after Lu Maoshi and the others left, Caspar Ferguson and others hurriedly investigated what game "Tetris" was.

But soon, they were disappointed.

"Who is willing to pay for the rights to this simple PC game?" Caspar Ferguson looked at the game interface on the computer, his expression stunned.

Anyway, he doesn't understand.

The rest were also confused.

"You say, how much does this game sell? The other party said that they wanted to buy all the rights to the game. Caspar Ferguson asked, looking at the group.

An official laughed: "Just this little game, I think it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if it is a big profit!" China itself is now very poor, and the per capita salary is only a few tens of yuan. If we make a high offer, I'm afraid we will scare the other party away. At the moment, the economy of our Soviet Union is not very good, and having these hundreds of thousands of dollars, although it is a drop in the bucket, at least it is somewhat useful. ”

After speaking, many people present nodded in agreement.

However, he said that after Lu Maoshi went back, he immediately contacted Zhao Ye and reported the current situation.

"Boss, Tetris is not famous in the Soviet Union, and very few people know about it, if we hadn't offered to buy Tetris, the other party wouldn't have known that there was such a game." Lu Maoshi smiled, "The Soviet Union is a game desert, and the official can't see the value of the game, so I think we have a good chance of buying Tetris." ”

"Well, that's for the best!" Zhao Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and then thought of the huge impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union a few years later, and he couldn't help but have a plan, and the idea of hollowing out the surplus value of the Soviet Union came to his mind.

"We can't give money directly, but materials, and take this opportunity to establish a stable trading system between the two sides. In the future, will I create the legend of the canned airplane?"

"Of course, it is nothing to exchange canned food for airplanes, but mainly to take the opportunity to obtain Soviet talents, technology and advanced production equipment."

"Maybe you can also speculate on rubles, let's say, borrow rubles from Soviet banks, and then buy Soviet resources, or exchange them for foreign currency. Especially after the Soviet Union, the woolly bear country used shock therapy, and sure enough, within a few years, the economy of the woolly bear country went into shock, the ruble depreciated to worthless, and he only needed to spend a very small amount of dollars to exchange a large amount of rubles, and then repay the loan. In the meantime, I've made a lot of money!"

Zhao Ye smiled a little unkindly, Western countries are fishing for a lot in the Soviet Union, why don't they do it themselves? It is better for wealth and talent to come to you than to go to the West!

"Mr. Lu, the next time you talk to the representatives of the Soviet Union, you can tell them that we are willing to use materials to pay for the copyright purchase of Tetris, and we are willing to establish good trade relations with the Soviet Union, and provide the Soviet Union with all kinds of materials for a long time, including clothing, canned food, food, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and a large number of light industrial products......

In the eighties and nineties in China, the products of many state-owned enterprises did not sell well and were piled up in warehouses in large quantities.

Wujiang could buy these materials at a very low price and resell them to the Soviet Union at a high price.

It not only saves a lot of money from Wujiang Company, but also revitalizes domestic enterprises.

In the future, it will be able to exchange some technology or production equipment with the Soviet Union, which is simply a big profit.

Lu Maoshi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood Zhao Ye's intentions, the Soviet Union is currently in a recession, there is a shortage of materials, and a large number of goods such as clothes and bread have frequently increased in price, so they prefer to get "cheap" materials.

At the end of the conversation, Lu Mao felt more confident.

The next day, the crowd again came to the USSUSuch.

The two sides soon came to the conference room and began the first round of negotiations.

Caspar Ferguson was the first to speak: "After research and discussion by our professional team, Tetris is a very classic PC game, it has great commercial potential, how much money is your company going to spend on this game?" ”

Lu Maoshi said without hurry: "Nowadays, there are only a handful of people who can afford to buy a personal computer, and the number of users is small, what is the market for casual games like Tetris, and users will get tired of playing it after a few more times." Our company bought it just for a gimmick, that is, to give away game software when users buy computers. ”

After a pause, Lu Maoshi said, "So, our company plans to bid $300,000 to buy Tetris!" However, our company intends to pay for $300,000 worth of material items, including food, clothing, toiletries, etc...... I wonder if the USSR Electroexportexport will be acceptable? ”

Caspar Ferguson and the others looked at each other, and of course they raised their hands to welcome the payment with food, clothing, and other materials. But in terms of price, they are not very satisfied.

So, the two sides began to bargain.

Caspar Ferguson and others felt that the fact that Chinese representatives had traveled thousands of miles to Moscow to buy Tetris showed that they had a strong desire to buy the game.

Don't think about sending them away for just $300,000.

However, Caspar Ferguson and others do not see Tetris as having much value.

Even if the lion opened his mouth, he only shouted the "sky-high price" of $1 million.

Half an hour later, both sides gave way.

The Soviet Union sold all the rights to Tetris for $750,000.

Looking at Lu Maoshi and the others smiling bitterly and reluctantly accepting the $750,000 offer, Caspar Ferguson and others thought they had won at the negotiation table and smiled one after another.

It didn't take long for both parties to sign a formal contract.

At the moment of signing and sealing, Lu Maoshi breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed the boss's instructions.

Caspar Ferguson and others are still complacent, but they don't know that they have lost a huge cash cow!

The next morning, Lu Maoshi and his party took a train back to China, and the Soviet Union was not very safe after all.

Zhao Ye got the news and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are two games on the handheld game console, "Tetris" and "Pokemon", so why not worry?

With the explosion of video game consoles and handheld game consoles, the demand for Kirin 1 is bound to increase greatly, and the scale of the fab is bound to expand, so as to meet the increased production capacity.

The expansion of wafer factories will require the purchase of various production equipment, and the domestic semiconductor industry chain will benefit from this.

It can be said that it affects the whole body.

Therefore, Zhao Ye is now vigorously developing game consoles and handheld game consoles, which is actually promoting the development of the domestic semiconductor industry!
