Back to 2003

This statement is very direct, but it is true.

The negative effect of "Eternal Sword" in China has affected the operation of "Eternal Sword 2" to a certain extent.

"Our bottom line is: agency fee is 500 million, and profit sharing is 20%!"

The two sides fought against each other for a long time, and YM Entertainment finally said the bottom line.

“This price is simply unacceptable!”

Zhao Zhuoyan cleared his throat and began to bargain: "According to my estimation, the agent fee quoted by China Broadcasting Entertainment, which you were previously optimistic about, will not exceed 300 million at most. In fact, this is a conscientious offer... Our bid of 400 million is enough to prove that we Full of sincerity.”

But YM Entertainment is also unwilling to lower prices.

The two sides began a slow tug of war.

Many large-scale project cooperation usually involves long-term negotiations, and it is not possible to succeed in one or two times.

But Tang Qinghua didn't have this time.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, he went to the restroom first and suddenly said after coming back.

"Dear President Li, I just contacted the chairman of our company and the final decision is: the agency fee can be 500 million, but the revenue sharing cannot be changed up to 18%, and during the closed beta period, we need you to check the game Fine-tune it, or you can provide part of the source code and we can modify it ourselves."

"This is the resolution of our company's board of directors. We have no right to change it. We can only wait for the good news from President Li... We will fly back to China tomorrow afternoon. Before that, we welcome calls from President Li at any time. Thank you."

He directly retreated to advance and ended the negotiation.

There is no need to worry about hundreds of thousands or millions, but the share ratio cannot be increased. Once the Yitian Sword agent is successful, these millions will be completely negligible, but a few percentage points may be a difference of tens of millions per year.

……

Declining YM Entertainment's lunch invitation, the three of them left the other party's company directly.

"Little boss, are we being too impulsive in doing this?"

Qiao Ya seemed a little uneasy: "Frankly speaking, the conditions offered by China Broadcasting Entertainment are actually no worse than ours. YM Entertainment may not choose us... In that case, wouldn't we be making a futile effort?"

"If they were smart, they wouldn't choose China Broadcasting."

Tang Qinghua seemed very confident: "If they choose China Broadcasting Corporation, it means they are not very smart. A game made by such not very smart people will probably not be a good game... So don't get entangled, we can negotiate it." Talk, if we can’t negotiate, we have other options... With Feiniao Games and Feiniao Forum here, are we still worried about not having a game agent?”

"Hey, didn't you say you were very optimistic about Heavenly Sword 2 before?"

Zhao Zhuoyan couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Did I say that? When did I say..."

Tang Qinghua began to turn his face and refused to admit it.

……

The three of them didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, they called Park Xiangyu out and asked this half-hearted translator to take them around Seoul.

Although Seoul is not too big, as the capital of the cold country, there are still many places to visit. The four of them strolled leisurely for most of the day. In the evening, under the leadership of Park Sang-woo, they went to have an authentic cold meal. Then we returned to the hotel to rest.

……

The next morning.

Still not receiving the invitation from YM Entertainment, Zhao Zhuoyan and Qiao Ya were a little anxious. Seeing Tang Qinghua calmly tidying up, their female nagging habits kicked in and they began to talk about him non-stop.

……

At noon, the two women were completely disappointed.

It seems that YM Entertainment finally chose China Broadcasting Corporation.

After all, Tang Qinghua was the boss, and it was useless for the two women to talk to each other. He had long been invulnerable, so he could only put away his salute obediently. After having lunch in the hotel, he dragged his suitcase out and followed Tang Qinghua back home.

"Mr. Zhao—"

The moment I walked out of the hotel, I was greeted by a familiar voice. It was President Li of YM Entertainment.

President Li and several senior executives greeted him with a smile: "We have thought deeply about it, and finally decided to cooperate with you... I hope our cooperation will be a complete success, and Heavenly Sword 2 will be a big hit in China!"

"Thank you, President Li, for your trust!"

Tang Zhao Qiao looked at each other and smiled.

"Then please ask Mr. Zhao to move over, sign a cooperation agreement, and have dinner together to celebrate the conclusion of the cooperation."

Now that the cooperation is confirmed, President Li seems very enthusiastic.

In the afternoon of the same day, the agency matters for "Eternal Sword 2" were signed. Feiniao Entertainment obtained the agency rights for "Eternal Sword 500" for five years with an annual agency fee of 18 million and an 2% profit share. In order to show its sincerity, the game is exactly After operation, YM Entertainment is willing to release part of the server code so that Feiniao Entertainment can fine-tune the game according to the gaming habits of Chinese people.

Opening up the server code is definitely a sign of sincerity.

In fact, it is not open. As long as the server is in the hands of China, the code will still be leaked, but that means illegal, and this means permission. Don't underestimate this, it will have a huge impact on the future of the game.

Three days later,

The three returned home successfully.

The agent negotiated and everything was relaxed.

The two women found something to do, and seemed to be more energetic at work. They started recruiting people when they returned. First, they recruited a large number of programmers who knew how to play games, and formed a game development and management team. Second, they released information about the internal beta test of Heavenly Sword 2. At the same time, Start operational work.

……

Only then did China Broadcasting Entertainment get the information.

Moreover, their domestic company got the news first and then informed the negotiation team in the cold country.

"A bunch of losers, what are you still doing in the cold country? Are you eating pickles?"

The executives of China Broadcasting Entertainment were furious.

"What? The agency rights have been taken away by Feiniao Network? This is impossible. We were discussing together two days ago. Before that, we had never heard that Feiniao Network was interested in Yitian Sword 2!"

The representatives of China Broadcasting Entertainment were stunned.

After two negotiations, they both stabilized their prices and thought victory was in sight. They were waiting for YM Entertainment's third negotiation, but suddenly such bad news came, which almost made people crazy.

"By the time you find out, they will have signed the contract."

The top management also hates that iron cannot become steel: "Everyone, come back!"

The opportunity that belonged to Zhongguang Entertainment in the previous life was snatched away by Tang Qinghua. Yitian Sword 2, which was originally a top-notch game, will shine perfectly in the hands of Feiniao Entertainment in this life.

……

After wandering around Xidu, Tang Qinghua was ready to return to Jiangcheng.

But before leaving this time, he actually found Zhong Tingting and came up with an outrageous idea.

"What did you say? Are you crazy?"

Zhong Tingting immediately announced, eyes wide with anger: "Youth.com is doing well in Xidu, why do we need to move our headquarters? Besides, our main business is in Shuzhong, what benefits does the move bring to us? Here, we have many preferential policies. Can I enjoy it elsewhere?”

"Listen to me first—"

Ever since what happened last time, Tang Qinghua was a little afraid of her.

"Say what you say, I won't listen -"

Zhong Tingting became hardened and unreasonable: "Youth Network is firmly established in the West. I'm not going anywhere... If you want to go, you can go alone!"

"..."

Tang Qinghua stared at her perfect face: "What if we go to Jiangcheng?"

"Not going anywhere... What did you say? Go to Jiangcheng? Why go to Jiangcheng? What other bad ideas are you planning?"

Zhong Tingting was stunned for a moment.
