The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 736

With the end of the joint press conference between Tianxing Mobile and Atari, the entire mobile phone circle's hostility towards Jiangnan Group completely disappeared. On the contrary, close cooperation followed.

Although many companies were dissatisfied with this share ratio, in the end, 20 mobile phone companies signed contracts with Jiangnan Group one after another... Of course, in fact, Jiangnan Group did not really engage in electronic contracts that are disgusting and offending. matter.

All the companies that clicked on Confirm soon received an invitation from Jiangnan Group, and the two parties formally signed a cooperation agreement at the headquarters of the 00 Game US Branch, and the person responsible for this signing was none other than Leng Zhi, the president of 00 Network. Moe himself.

That's right, when they came to the United States this time, neither Leng Zhiwen nor Leng Zhiruo followed, but Leng Zhimeng rushed over.There are very good reasons.My two elder sisters have been here several times, there is no reason why I am not qualified to come here.

Not to mention that this time it is actually the game business that Leng Zhimeng is directly in charge of, she is even more qualified to come here.Then she came by herself, and Huang He didn't stop her, anyway, Leng Zhimeng couldn't damage anything.

Just as the OO mobile game center was setting sail and was busy signing contracts with these mobile phone companies, on the other hand, it was also negotiating with major game companies around the world, sending invitation letters to these companies.

For example, Namco Games in Fusang at this time received an invitation from the OO Game Center, inviting them to enter the OO mobile game platform.

"What do you guys think of this invitation from OO Games?" Namco still attached great importance to this, and took the initiative to hold a high-level meeting to discuss it.

"I think we can try to enter!" A senior executive said, "I think it is beneficial to join OO Game Center, after all, the mobile game market is a brand new market, a brand new platform, and the income from this platform will be a huge There is no need for us to refuse this income."

"And this matter itself has no cost. Our Namco has accumulated a large number of pixel games in the FC era. These games only need to be slightly adapted to log on to the mobile platform, and the cost is very low."

"But there are a lot of mobile phone users. I checked the current mobile phone platforms that the OO game platform cooperates with, including more than 20 mobile phone companies such as Samsung and LG. The total number of users in the world exceeds 2 million. Only 000% are willing to pay for the game, that is 1 paying players, at least can bring more than 20 million US dollars in profit, isn’t this a beautiful thing?”

"Absurd, I don't think so!" Immediately, some high-level executives stood up and objected, "The game can only be played on the console, and the game on the PC is not a real game, let alone a mobile game. This is against the game." Insult is the biggest joke in the world, we at Namco must not be treated as such a joke!"

Well, this reason sounds ridiculous, but it is a fact, and it will be a reality in 2022.

For example, players of League of Legends think that the game of Glory of Kings is not worthy of being called a Dota game, while Dota2 players think that the game of League of Legends is not worthy of being called Dota. Then Dota players think that those are commercialized scum, only made by Ice Frog , the map released on the game platform of Warcraft is the real Dota, and the others are all liars.

However, players of Warcraft 3 feel that those who don't play duels and go to play some bird maps are not worthy of being called players.

This set of logic is also established when placed on game companies. For example, those who play Blizzard look down on those who play Steam, those who play Steam look down on those who play NetEase, those who play NetEase look down on those who play Tencent, and those who play Tencent look down... Other games outside the league.

So on the game platform, such a chain of contempt is still very serious. For example, those who play consoles feel that games on other platforms are not worthy of being called games, except for their own handhelds.

Those who play handhelds look down on those who play PCs, and think that games that don't require handles are rubbish.

Those who play PC look down on those who play mobile phones, thinking that they are rubbing the mobile phone film.

Those who play mobile phones spend more money than those who play mobile games, and then the first charging party despises the monthly card party, the monthly card party despises the stupid charging party, and the stupid charging party despises...

Anyway, this is an endless cycle.

Cough cough, let’s get down to business, all in all, within the game company at this time, although most game companies have PC games, console games and handheld games, this is the limit for these game companies, and they absolutely cannot Allow yourself to degenerate to the point of developing games for mobile phones.

So when this senior executive spoke, almost half of the senior executives nodded vigorously, expressing that they very much recognized and appreciated this opinion.

"Ahem!" The chairman of Nanmeng Palace coughed and said, "Don't think about these issues, everyone knows that our company must be in poor condition recently, and we urgently need fresh profits to support the company's operations, so We only discuss whether staying on the mobile game platform can bring enough benefits to the company!"

"If this is the case, I don't think this mobile platform will bring much benefit!" The senior executive who expressed his contempt immediately stood up and said, "I will follow what Mr. Yamada said, and he said that there are more than 20 A mobile phone company has joined this platform. But I carefully read the list of these 20 companies, and among the top 10 companies in the world, only the Samsung and LG you mentioned just now, and the rest are some small companies that are not in the mainstream."

"You said that these companies together have 2000 users."

"But the rest of the companies together have more than 2 million global users, but none of these companies have reached a cooperation with the Atari platform, and instead have no response, which shows that these companies are not interested in developing any mobile game platform. .”

"If we rush to cooperate with Atari at this time, will we lose the opportunity to cooperate with more mobile phone companies?"

"So I think that this matter should be cautious, and conclusions should not be drawn lightly!" The senior executive said eloquently.

"That's right, and I also discovered another very serious matter!" Just as the high-level voice fell, the other high-level immediately stood up and said, "Have you noticed that in the documents given to us by Jiangnan Group, our The split is 50%."

"Everyone, do we know how bad this is? We used to cooperate with any game platform for a 70% share, but now it has dropped to 50%. And once we agreed to this agreement, an industry In the future, the sharing ratio of the mobile phone platform will be 50%, which will bring huge damage to the company's interests, and we will lose a lot of profits that originally belonged to us."

"So we must not be fooled by the current small profits. Although there may indeed be some business opportunities in mobile games in the future, then we should fight hard for our share ratio, and we must not fall below 70%. This standard line, otherwise we will be the sinners of the entire game industry!"

After the high-level voice fell, everyone present showed a cautious expression on their faces.Yes, the 50% hole must not be opened, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

"Gentlemen, in fact, I think this is a matter that is not necessary to discuss at all, because mobile phones are not an excellent carrier for games!" Another person said, and when this person spoke, many people at the scene showed expressions of admiration and respect .

Because this is the legendary game producer of Namco, the creator of Pac-Man, and the company's president Takuya Nakamura said, "Everyone knows that I used to be a loyal Atari fan. I was attracted by Atari's games and invested in this industry."

"I have collected all Atari games in my home. Yesterday, I let my grandson experience these games, but he only played for less than 5 minutes, and completely discarded the old antiques I collected. Seriously. The most rubbish game in history, how could such a game be developed, no one would be interested in such a game!"

"Later, I tried to let him experience the FC game again, and the result was better, but he finished it in less than 20 minutes, and went to hold his ps again."

"So everyone, mobile games may indeed have a certain degree of convenience, but because of the functional gap, they are destined to be swept into the garbage dump of history! I don't believe that anyone is willing to pay a lot for such a game."

"Not to mention that in this OO game platform, there are more than 1000 Atari free games. These free games are enough for those who sit on the bus to pass the time. They don't need to pay for mobile games. .”

"I estimate that in the next ten years, the size of this market will not exceed 1 million U.S. dollars, and we may not even have 000 U.S. dollars in the hands of Namco. And in order to earn 20 U.S. dollars, you are willing to give up Is it the glory of Namco?" When Takuya Nakamura said this, everyone immediately shook their heads, and everyone also understood that there was no need for this meeting to continue, and his company had already made a decision.

And the same plot was played repeatedly in front of almost all well-known game companies. After the meeting, these game companies all came to a surprisingly consistent conclusion, that is, there is no need to participate in this mobile game platform.

First of all, the 50% sharing ratio broke the game company's inherent profit sharing rules, and they could not accept such a rule change.Secondly, they instinctively believe that mobile games are a small market.

The assertion of "less than 1000 million US dollars in five years" has spread throughout the circle without knowing how.Although the founder of Pac-Man said that within 5 years, the annual market size would not exceed 1000 million US dollars.

But when it comes to other populations, it becomes that the entire market can earn less than 5 million US dollars in five years.

This kind of argument is rampant, which naturally cuts off the cooperation path of game companies, not to mention that at this moment, those mobile phone companies that have not chosen to join the 00 game platform are also having meetings themselves.
