People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 206: 50 to buy the copyright of Snake

After being praised by Su Cheng, Guan Jiahui was as proud as a arrogant little public servant.

"Tomorrow, I will give you a surprise." Su Cheng said with a smile.

Now that Guan Jiahui's painting skills have reached the level he wants, it's time to give her "Chibi Maruko-chan".

In fact, there is another comic in Sioux City that is very suitable for Guan Jiahui, and that is "Crayon Shin-chan".

However, Nohara Shinnosuke was so sexy that Su Cheng thought about it and decided not to give it to Guan Jiahui.

"What surprise?" Guan Jiahui became curious after hearing this.

"You will know tomorrow. After you have eaten, do you want to continue playing computer games?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I think, I want to play that Super Mario. Damn it, I must pass the second level tonight!" Guan Jiahui can't wait to play the game right away.

Even though she is so interested in computer games, she is actually just a scumbag. She only passed the first level with the help of Su Cheng.

"Okay, let me see if you can pass the test. If you can, I will reward you with royal enjoyment tonight." Su Cheng said with a smirk.

Guan Jiahui couldn't react for a while. After a while, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Bad Brother Su Cheng, don't you want me if I can't pass the test?" She rolled her eyes at Su Cheng.

The computer started up. Although Guan Jiahui was originally a computer novice and had never touched a computer, she now started playing the game very skillfully.

This is the benefit of the computer revolution. Even people who have never been exposed to computers can easily get started and play their favorite functions.

At this time, the phone rang in the living room outside.

"You go play by yourself first, and I'll answer the phone." Su Cheng said to Guan Jiahui.

"Brother Su Cheng, go ahead, I can play it myself!" Guan Jiahui had already started the game, staring at the game screen and saying without looking back.

Su Cheng shook his head and smiled. It was just like when he was in junior high school in his previous life, he went to those black Internet cafes to surf the Internet. If he had any money, he would go to the Internet cafes to play games.

"Hello, I'm Su Cheng, who are you?" Su Cheng picked up the phone and asked.

"Boss, it's me, Yang Chaoye, and I have good news for you." Yang Chaoye said with a smile on the phone.

"Oh? What's the good news?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.

"Two days ago, the matter you asked me to purchase the copyright of "Snake" was settled. I directly asked my friends from the beautiful country to find relevant professionals to negotiate the price with Gremlin Company. Gremlin Company offered 50 US dollars to transfer the ownership rights. Sell ​​it to us. I thought the price was relatively low within your psychological price range, boss, so I agreed directly without asking you." Yang Chaoye replied.

Su Cheng had to admire him. He was worthy of being the vice president of IBM. His contacts in the beautiful country were so extensive that he could do anything easily.

$50 to acquire all the copyrights to this small game that will be popular for decades?

Su Cheng was a little surprised. He originally thought it would cost at least millions of dollars!

"Why is the price so low?" Su Cheng asked.

"Boss, this price is actually not low. This game was born two years ago and can only be played in arcades. Although Gremlin developed this game, it is relatively primitive and the money it makes is not that much. Nowadays A sudden extra 50 US dollars is like pie in the sky for their company." Yang Chaoye replied with a smile.

Su Cheng understood instantly.The current version of "Snake" does not have strong monetization capabilities.

Unlike later generations, this game can be played not only in arcades, but also on computers, handheld consoles, and even mobile phones. You can make a lot of money by just placing some advertisements.

Nowadays, it is simply unrealistic to rely on such a small game and expect it to make a lot of money through a simple arcade machine.

Today's arcade games are not like those of later generations, where dozens or hundreds of games are gathered in one arcade.

Limited by the development of storage technology, nowadays basically an arcade machine can only accommodate one small game.

In other words, if you want to play "Snake" in arcade rooms in Europe and the United States, you have to buy an arcade machine.

And the price of an arcade machine is not cheap.

Therefore, the sales volume of "Snake" is actually not very good.

And because "Snake" has been released for two years now, Gremlin feels that its potential has been basically exhausted. Suddenly someone comes to spend huge sums of money to buy this game from them, and they are naturally very willing.

"You have done a very good job. The potential value of this small game will be very high. Look at the "Snake" on our computer. Compared with their company's "Snake", it is a revised version of the game. Isn’t it more fun? I’ll buy the entire copyright of this game for 50 yuan, and I’ll only make a profit without losing money. Is the contract signed? The contract must be signed before our computer launch event!” Su Cheng said.

"We haven't signed it yet. We have relatively few staff in the beautiful country. Now they are all focused on arranging the press conference here in New York. Gremlin is headquartered in Los Angeles. One is in the east and the other in the west of the beautiful country. It can't be Letting my friend sign on my behalf is against business rules." Yang Chaoye shook his head.

"Let's do this. I'll ask someone from Hutchison Whampoa to sign on my behalf first, and then transfer the copyright of this game to the Su Group." Su Cheng thought for a while and said directly.

Hutchison Whampoa has a lot of business in the beautiful country, so it has a lot of employees. There are also people in charge here in California, so it is the fastest and safest way to let Hutchison Whampoa help sign this game. Method.

Whether it is Hutchison Whampoa or the Su Group, they all belong to Su City, so there is no problem in doing so.

"That's okay. Boss, please tell Mr. Wei Li personally. It's not very convenient for me to talk to him here." Yang Chaoye thought for a while and said.

The meaning is completely different when Su Cheng mentions it and when Yang Chaoye mentions it. When Su Cheng mentions this matter, the boss is just explaining something to him. But if Yang Chaoye mentions this matter, it will be compared to the Su Group. I owe Hutchison Whampoa a favor, so Yang Chaoye naturally hopes that the boss will mention it in person.

"Okay, I will tell Mr. Weili about this later and let the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa in California contact you." Su Cheng nodded.

"Then I'll trouble the boss." After Yang Chaoye finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

At this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, Wei Li should have gone home.

Therefore, Su Cheng directly called Weili's home.

The person who answered the phone was Weili's wife. As expected, Weili was at home.

After knowing that Su Cheng was Wei Li's boss, she called Wei Li over.

Su Cheng told Wei Li about the matter in detail.

"Don't worry, boss, this is a trivial matter. I will contact the person in charge of the beautiful country in California and ask him to contact Mr. Yang Chaoye."

Upon hearing Su Cheng's intention, Wei Li agreed directly.
