Chapter 268 Provocation and Counterattack (Update 1)
The Druid Entertainment representative couldn’t believe it and lined up in person, and after experiencing it, he left the game cabin in a daze.
Unlike other people's confusion and comfort, his heart was more filled with fear.
This is a brand new track, one they have never been exposed to before.
Everyone knew that virtual reality technology was coming, but everyone couldn’t believe that the day was now.
Sitting on the roadside, the representative no longer wanted to worry about his showcase, because there was something even more terrifying here.
He seemed to see a giant dragon emerging that created the world. The existing cornerstones of the gaming industry were collapsing. Gaming companies would go bankrupt in large numbers. If he wanted to survive, he would either join that giant dragon or be better than the other party in terms of gameplay.
The latter has almost no hope, because the business strategy of large companies in recent years has been to stick to the 3A field, reduce costs through the reuse of resources and code, and cover the previous large investment with large sales.
If they give up, the company's cash flow will collapse and it will be finished.
But the former means taking the initiative to hand over the right to speak and merge into the other party's system, which is also a very difficult thing.
They need to abandon the existing scoring system, classification system, narrative style, etc.; they must strictly review all elements in the game and integrate them into the Chinese system.
The thought of an established game company having to bow to a new game company filled the representative's heart with anger and despair.
Sitting not far away, he watched the queue of people getting bigger and bigger. Tourists began to gather outside while waiting and discussing eagerly. The anchor who came looking for the voice was exaggeratingly describing the magic of this game cabin and the games in it. .
To the representative, their discussions and laughter were like the death knell of the gaming industry, ringing in his heart.
This can’t be done!
Standing up, he first sent an email to the senior management of Druid Entertainment and told the situation here.
Knowing that those old stubborns would never believe the situation here, he walked towards the staff of Qilin Industries who was responsible for the reception and asked in a humble tone: "Excuse me, how much does one of your game cabins cost?" "
Four hundred thousand US dollars, not including shipping. "The receptionist said with a smile.
This price made the representative feel heartache, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I'm ordering one, please send it to the United States..." "The minimum
delivery to the United States is ten units, and an additional 50% shipping fee and customs duty are required. And we don't accept the goods. Payment is due, please pay in full."
The representative almost fainted.
Finally, he left the showcase tiredly.
Six million and six million U.S. dollars were transferred in exchange for a contract for ten game cabins.
The extra 15% is the expedited fee, in exchange for Kirin Industrial giving priority to completing their orders.
And because the money cannot be transferred to the company's account, the representative can only advance it himself and pray that the company's senior management can help him settle the account quickly.
"Just think of it as tuition." He comforted himself.
Five days later, when ten pieces of equipment were delivered to Druid Entertainment, the company's senior management had no idea where the equipment came from.
They were still busy dealing with the company's acquisition and the company's stock price. It wasn't until the representative sent them an email full of "fxxk" that they remembered that the representative had mentioned this matter before.
When trying to find previous emails sent by representatives, their first reaction was that it was impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
It is impossible for virtual reality to appear first among those rubes in China.
That is the forbidden area of games and the hell of art. Chinese players are only qualified to play card-drawing mobile games.
As for Fangcheng Studio...
it was an accident, like a huge bubble that would disappear on its own after a while.
With this arrogance, they did not take the game cabin seriously, but placed it in the employee lounge as a bed. After all, the cushions inside were quite comfortable.
This situation would have lasted for a long time if an employee hadn't turned on the power to the game cabin out of curiosity.
After powering on, the ten game cabins were immediately full!
These employees almost regard the lounge as their own home. Employees who usually rush to work when they arrive are now working overtime all night every day, just to enjoy the happiness of virtual reality when others are not around.
In addition to this, another significant change is that the consumption of the company's free coffee has been reduced to one-fifth of its original size.
The usage time of the game cabin is strictly planned. Each person's usage time is calculated from the time he enters the game cabin. If you drink coffee in advance, it will consume a lot of time in the process of falling asleep, thus reducing the game time.
There are countless other changes. Even those senior executives who only value capital realize that something seems wrong.
After using their high-level privileges to experience it, they finally understood what a terrifying thing the East had created.
This is not a game console, this is a nuclear weapon!
The ultimate device capable of blowing up all gaming platforms.
Although the company's CEO, Randyk, knows nothing about games, he understands people's hearts.
It can be seen from the reactions of employees and the emails sent by Prussian representatives that this thing is really extraordinary.
He originally wanted to ban this thing first, but other senior officials immediately stopped him after learning about it.
Don't.
Never!
The employees below can tolerate your misbehavior, after all, the salary you give is quite high.
But if you touch this thing, then you have to consider some crazy people performing rice-style Iai for you.
Looking at his confidant, Landick asked the others to leave the conference room first, and then asked seriously: "Tell me frankly, how powerful is this thing?"
"Can't you try it yourself?" his confidant asked in confusion. .
"I don't want to waste my precious time on games." Randyk said. "You know, for me, the development of the company is more important. I have to focus on higher things, not games. ."
"...It's amazing. This is a revolution in the gaming industry. It is estimated that within three to five years, we will all be finished."
"That's it..."
Landick thought for a while, and then confidently said about his The confidant said: "I have two plans..."
When Landick's plan was sent to the representative in Prussia, the representative was stunned when he saw plan A and plan B given by the other party.
It’s been almost ten days and you only gave me this!
Desperation filled the heart of the representative, making him realize that he had better change jobs as soon as possible.
However, before changing jobs, he still upheld good professional ethics and found Fangcheng Studio, which he had packed up and prepared to leave for Bei Mi.
In the hotel room, he met Fang Cheng, Xu Qingling and Gao Tianyun.
What surprised him was that the two people were not very old, but no one would have thought that the elegant young man was a gaming genius, and the other was a console genius.
Compared with their young people, who are still immersed in LGBT parades and various leafs, the representatives felt a strong sense of helplessness.
Sighing, he held the water glass in front of him and said in a dry tone: "You two, it's nice to meet you. I am the representative of Druid Entertainment. I have a business to discuss with you this time." "
Yes. Do you want to buy more machines?" Gao Tianyun asked excitedly, "How many machines do you want to buy this time? I can give you a discount for more than a hundred machines." "
No, I can't afford it. I mean, we want Acquire you."
Fang Cheng and Gao Tianyun looked at each other, feeling incredible.
Even Fang Cheng didn't understand why the other party came so suddenly.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Cheng asked: "Then, what is your purchase price?" "1.3 billion..."
"U.S. dollars?"
"RMB...600 million of which will be exchanged for shares of the same value in Druid Entertainment. Pay..."
Xu Qingling on the side sighed, feeling that this matter was really a child's play.
The representative had already heard Xu Qingling's sigh, but continued: "This includes all the patent rights of the game cabin and the copyright of all games of Fangcheng Studio."
Xu Qingling turned her head and said to Fangcheng: " Boss, let's go. I don't think there is any need to talk."
"Wait a moment." The representative raised his hands and made a standard Gallic military salute. "I personally don't want to go to this step, but the company's senior management Let me convey something that must be conveyed. If you do not agree to the acquisition, then we will take necessary measures."
Fang Cheng looked at the other party, suddenly had an idea, and then counted on his fingers.
After doing the calculation, he frowned.
That's it?
Shaking his head slightly, he said to the representative: "It doesn't matter, please do it."
At this moment, the representative suddenly shuddered.
He felt that all his thoughts were seen through, all his thoughts were invisible, and all his secrets seemed to be exposed. This feeling of losing privacy made him extremely panicked.
What frightened him even more was the confidence Fang Cheng showed.
The other party didn't care about the blow he was about to suffer next, and the whole thing seemed not worth mentioning to him.
Standing up in fear, he stammered: "Mr. Fang, this is not what I meant. I personally like your game very much. I..." "
I said, it doesn't matter. Xu Qingling, Gao Tianyun, we Let's go, it's time to go back to China."
Watching the three people leave, the representative wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything.
Sitting down slumped, he felt that Landick really deserved to die.
Why are you messing with them?
Fangcheng ended the team building ahead of schedule and took the employees back to China early.
As soon as he got off the plane, Fang Cheng received a call from Teacher Shen.
On the phone, Teacher Shen asked doubtfully: "Fang Cheng, what did you do abroad this time?" "
Nothing, just participating in the game exhibition normally."
"Then why, Bei Mi has taken all your games off the shelves? What?"
"Maybe I can't afford to play anymore."
"...Why are you so relaxed?"
Teacher Shen sighed, feeling that Fang Cheng hadn't figured out the point yet.
Playing with his hair subconsciously, he said to Fang Cheng: "Fang Cheng, you may not know that the game market in North America is very big, and you are planning to go in the direction of virtual reality in the future. The cost of this direction is not low, and only globalization can Only then can we get back our money. Losing the Beimi market is a big loss. I suggest you explore this issue carefully." "
The cost is not high at all, I can guarantee that. And I don't care about the Beimi market in the first place, so it doesn't matter. "
It's really not high?"
"Don't worry, for me, there is no problem at all."
"Okay, I believe you. But if you have any questions, you must contact me in time. I don't have anything else, and I still have some connections." "
Thank you, I will."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Cheng found another call coming.
After answering the phone, Fang Cheng heard his father's voice: "Fang Cheng, have you been sanctioned?" "
...What do you mean?"
"I heard that all your games have been taken down by Bei Mi. You won't Did you make some game that you shouldn't have made?"
Fang Cheng looked at his phone and felt that the news spread quite quickly.
Unexpectedly, even his old father knew about this.
I thought my father was here to comfort me, but then Father Fang said excitedly: "Does this give you a reason to take action? My request is not high, as long as the area of the Beimi gangs shrinks by 99%!" "...
such a thing Even if I don't take action, it will happen. And as I said, I prefer to use gentle means to solve problems."
"That's fine, do it well, this will make me lose face."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Cheng felt There is something wrong with the father's focus.
Why do you look so happy when I was sanctioned?
Subsequently, acquaintances called one after another to inquire about the situation and promised to help.
Tang Mo, Chen Rang, Lao Wang, Coach Lin, Hoffman, and even the new boss of Tianyi all called to inquire about the situation and promised support.
After finally explaining the situation, Fang Cheng unknowingly got to know many people.
Opening the game inn's webpage, he found that the forum was discussing this matter.
Players in Beimi were the first to discover that "Tianmo" had been removed from the shelves. Afterwards, all games of Fangcheng Studio disappeared from the Beimi area on the water vapor platform. The reason was that "for policy reasons, the games of this studio will not be displayed."
Players who had downloaded the game before were unable to play it normally. This caused many overseas players to ask what happened and what the so-called policy reasons were. Unfortunately, there was no feedback.
Later, a North American player broke the news that someone lobbied the North American game censorship agency. The game "New World" was banned because it promoted red ideas, and all the games of Fangcheng Studio were also removed from the shelves.
Moreover, the ban is very strict this time. Even if the players change regions, as long as they are in North America, they will not be able to see them.
Some players had no choice but to look for pirated copies, but unfortunately they couldn't find them at all.
Although they sympathize with the experiences of North American players, domestic players are more worried.
Without the large market of Beimi, Fangcheng Studio's game sales will inevitably be reduced, and the income of the entire studio will also be reduced a lot.
But Fang Cheng doesn’t care.
Games are a tool for him to achieve enlightenment, money and the like don't matter, and he had no intention of going overseas.
However, he will not let the other party go just yet.
Facing Huang Ping on the side, he asked: "Which is the most important game IP of Druid Entertainment?"
"The "Dark Dungeon" series." Huang Ping said quickly, "It has reached 4."
Then, he realized What? He asked excitedly: "Boss, could it be that we..."
"Well, for the next game, let's make it a competing product."
