i really just want to play games

Chapter 125 Reaching Cooperation
There was nothing to say that night. The next day, Chen Tiancai arrived at Sony Road. Yes, this road is where Sony's headquarters is located, near Ginza, the most prosperous and expensive area in Tokyo.

Chen Tiancai waited in the conference room for a while, and Mr. Miyamoto, who was negotiating with him at E3, brought several people to the conference room.

Suo Dafa is a huge enterprise, so its behavior is quite old-fashioned, but old-fashioned can be regarded as rigorous. The entire negotiation process is relatively cumbersome, and Chen Tiancai has been in the stage of reading documents, asking questions, and then negotiating.

For this kind of business negotiation, Chen Tiancai is not actually an expert, but he has been influenced by it since he was a child, and he has his father as an example.

Therefore, he pinpointed the steps of carefully reading the contract and signing slowly.

But in fact, the conditions of Suo Dafa are not harsh, and the water in the game industry is not as deep as the surface. So far, Suo Dafa and Zange Network have signed a game login platform contract.

The contract was something that Miyamoto and his gang had signed countless times, and Chen Tiancai knew about it beforehand, so he signed it happily after seeing that there was no discrepancy.

Mr. Miyamoto was not angry because of Chen Tiancai's slow movements. On the contrary, his years of professional career made him appreciate Chen Tiancai's cautious attitude.

Now that the preliminary cooperation has been reached, the next step is the exclusive development project.

The amount is still 2000 million knives, and Zange Network is developing a limited-time exclusive 5A game for Suo Dafa's PS3 platform.

There is no limit to the type of game, but Suo Dafa has the right to modify it, and it also includes a limited time exclusive when the game ends in the future, and the sharing money for logging in to other platforms.

Although 2000 million knives is not a small amount, compared to other large 3A, this fund is not a lot.

The current situation of Anthem Network is in an embarrassing situation. "Anthem 1" has no income for a long time, and the income of "Hunting Crisis" is only enough to maintain all the current expenses of Anthem Network. Light' Lab.

Although Chen Tiancai has already signed the authorization contract of the world engine with Tengyi, the large sum of money will not be paid in a short while, at least three months.

Judging from the operation situation in a few months, "Hunting Crisis" will enter the stage of its first sharp decline in revenue, and then Anthem Network will begin to lose money.

But it only takes about one or two months, and the six or seven small goals of Tengyi can be accounted for, and Zange Network will not have a shortage of funds.

However, Chen Tiancai does not intend to let Praise Network fall into such a situation, so it is crucial to ask for the money from Dafa now.

In fact, the profitability of Zange's online games has always been very strong, and it can even be counted among the forefront of new game developers.

But Chen Tiancai has always spent money lavishly. Not only are the benefits for employees good, but he also throws a lot of money into the laboratory.

Although this is not the best strategy for running the company, Chen Tiancai is not pointing to Zange Network or playing games to make a fortune.

His goal is to make a good game, so it is worth paying more.

Otherwise, he would go straight to university to study business administration or something, and then go abroad for a few more years, and then go home and take over the family business. Why bother to start a new stove and start the hymn network.

Although Chen Tiancai's current situation seems a bit embarrassing, it is very common in today's market to suffer losses in the first few years or even ten years of a new company.

What kind of shared bicycles are far away, burning countless money, and in the end, chickens and eggs are beaten.

Recently, there are video portals such as Balabala, which are still losing money after more than ten years of establishment.

In addition to solving the shortage of funds, the reason why Chen Tiancai accepted Suo Dafa's exclusive development agreement was actually because he wanted to spread the hymn network.

The current game development department of Zange Network is the online game combination stand-alone 3A group.

But if you want to speed up game development, in addition to expanding personnel, the best thing is to add one or two game development teams.

The exclusive development agreement provided by Suo Dafa was like a timely rain, which just provided Chen Tiancai with such an idea.

After getting the money, Chen Tiancai will recruit about ten technical backbones from Zange Network's current employees, and then recruit sixty to seventy new employees to set up a team dedicated to developing games for Suo Dafa.

Although the game developed for Suo Dafa will be exclusive, Chen Tiancai will be left with a group of well-trained employees after receiving the money. These are the assets of Zange Network, and it will be easy to develop other 3A games at that time.

"With my current energy, I can manage three to four game groups."

After assessing his abilities, Chen Tiancai happily reached a preliminary agreement with Mr. Miyamoto.

Suo Dafa will give 1000 million dollars in advance to establish a new project on Zange Network, and then pay the remaining 1000 million dollars after the game development enters the official track.

And if the quality of the game meets the standard in the middle, Suo Dafa will also make a second investment according to the situation of Zange Network or Chen Tiancai's request.

As a game company with several well-known studios, there is no doubt that Suo Dafa has a lot of money.

And through Chen Tiancai's observation of the studios under Suo Dafa over the years, Suo Dafa is very lenient towards these studios, and there is basically no forced rush to work.

And this is why high-quality first-party games continue to emerge in the Suo Dafa camp.

At the same time, Suo Dafa will also dispatch several employees to participate in the development of this independent game after the game project is approved.

This is obviously a kind of supervision, but in fact it is also a kind of technical support. After all, Suo Dafa has been in the game industry for more than ten years, and their technical reserves are naturally among the best in the industry.

Therefore, Chen Tiancai still welcomes Suo Dafa's employees.

Even though Praise Network has achieved very good results now, Chen Tiancai still feels dissatisfied, and it would be best to steal from Suo Dafa.

After the contract was finalized, Mr. Miyamoto and his subordinates were also very happy. After all, it is not easy to find a game company with potential.

During the E3 trip, the game quality of "Legend Chang'an" has completely proved the strength of Anthem Network. Therefore, although Mr. Miyamoto said nothing, he is still very optimistic about Anthem Network and Chen Tiancai.

Although doing business with people from the island country is a bit rigid, the efficiency is pretty good. After all, the gaming industry is a fast-paced industry. If Suo Dafa can become the leader in the industry, he will naturally be free of the procrastination and unwillingness to take the blame that many island companies have.

At the same time, there was no post-contract dinner. After signing the contract, Chen Tiancai was taken by Mr. Miyamoto to have a meal in the staff restaurant of Suo Dafa, and then returned to the hotel.

Tomorrow is the launch of TGS. This time, in addition to "Hunter Crisis" 3.0, the games presented by Anthem Network also include the trial play of "Anthem 2" and the trial play of "Legend Chang'an".
