Chapter 147 Mr. Ma, please cooperate with me

Fatty G was very angry and cursed the Koreans for a long time, but he quickly calmed down and ordered his secretary to continue contacting the Koreans.

"John." Fatty G turned his head and looked at Qin Shaoyan, looking at him with suspicion, "Do you want the authorization for the online version of "Counter-Strike"?"

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then denied it very simply: "NO!"

"I never thought about making Counter-Strike Online before."

"Really?" Fatty G frowned, as if he didn't believe it.

"Fake!" Qin Shaoyan said with dissatisfaction, "I'll reiterate to you, before today I never thought about making an online version of Counter-Strike, OK?!"

"Do you need me to swear to you?"

"That's not necessary." Fatty G breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't get me wrong, John, I don't mean anything else."

"You can just tell me if you want."

Before Fatty G could react, Qin Shaoyan had already called Ma Huateng.

"I apologize to you."

Fatty G frowned, "Do you know much about Koreans?"

"..." Fatty G looked at Qin Shaoyan speechlessly and said perfunctorily, "I'm already doing it."

Qin Shaoyan sneered, "In the Chinese game industry, Koreans have always had a bad reputation because they have no business credibility and go back on their word."

"NO!" Qin Shaoyan said categorically, "This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place. Gabu, I told you because I was afraid that you would be deceived by Koreans."

"Okay, I forgive you now." Qin Shaoyan still looked very angry, "Those Koreans went too far. They used the guise of V agency to deceive my friend."

"China's domestic agency operators have suffered greatly, and this is not an isolated case, it is a common phenomenon."

"At that time, I felt that the Koreans were not trustworthy. They had bad records, so I came here to ask you for confirmation, and I guessed it right."

Fatty G was shocked after hearing this, "Walterfak, how can these people be so despicable."

"If you weren't my friend, I wouldn't care about this!"

Qin Shaoyan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said, "I'll let the person involved tell you directly. Mr. Ma of Penguin is also a victim."

"This is entirely due to the low level of Korean R&D. What's even more egregious is that the Korean side has been shirk-passing in the face of these problems, resisting fixing bugs, and even not abiding by the contract in terms of game maintenance."

"Korean people often push shoddy online games to Chinese operators. These online games not only have many bugs, but are also riddled with cheats."

Fatty G was a little curious, "Which friend?"

"Penguin's boss, Ma Huateng, is the chat software with 300 million users. You met their vice president in Yanjing." Qin Shaoyan explained, "He told me the news about the Koreans."

"You actually misunderstood me!"

"Mr. Ma, have you rested?"

Qin Shaoyan stood up and started to walk out angrily.

Qin Shaoyan, who had already reached the door, stopped, sat back down, and said with a straight face: "I will forgive you as long as you give up half a life."

When Fatty G saw that Qin Shaoyan's expression was wrong, he quickly stood up, held him back, and comforted him: "John, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."

"Not yet." Ma Huateng was a little confused, "What's wrong, Mr. Qin?"

"Go find an English translator immediately." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I am now in the office of Gabe Newell, the boss of V agency. He is sitting next to me. I asked him to clarify with you personally about NEXON. matter."

"Ah?" Ma Huateng was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to act so quickly. Just yesterday after talking about the licensing of NEXON Company and the online game version of "Counter-Strike", Mr. Qin immediately found the parties involved to clarify.

"Oh, Mr. Qin, you are such a person..." Ma Huateng sighed with a complicated mood, "You are too serious about what you do. It's not like I can't trust you."

"This is a matter of principle." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Since we have signed an agreement, I have to clear things up for Mr. Ma."

"Moreover, Mr. Ma should know better than me how virtuous Korean companies are. There is no future in cooperating with them. I can't just watch Mr. Ma be deceived and make the same mistakes again. Triumph is a lesson learned from the past."

When Ma Huateng heard about the triumph, he immediately felt angry.

Penguin represented the Korean online game "Triumph", but was tricked by the other party. The Korean side didn't even want to provide technical support.

After this battle, Penguin was so disgusted that they began to plan to acquire the team's self-developed products.

Qin Shaoyan continued to argue, "I originally had a good discussion with V Agency, but South Korea's NEXON company came over to stir things up and told you that they had obtained the authorization. Isn't this a fraud?"

"When we cooperate, we must first kick out this troublesome Korean company. You can cooperate with me later."

Ma Huateng said quickly, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will fully cooperate with you, just tell me what to do?"

Qin Shaoyan was also very pleased to see Brother Ma being so successful, "Just tell Gabe Newell how the Korean company deceived Penguin."

Brother Xiao Ma happily agreed, the two of them briefly said a few words, and the English translation was in place. Qin Shaoyan turned on the speakerphone and introduced G Fat and Xiao Ma to each other. The two greeted each other through the interpreter.

"Mr. Ma, have people from NEXON approached you and claimed that they have the authorization for the online version of Counter-Strike?" Qin Shaoyan took the lead in setting the pace.

Mahuateng said without hesitation, "Yes."

Then Brother Ma briefly told what happened.

After hearing the translation, Fatty G became furious and almost roared: "Our company and NEXON currently have no cooperation and have never reached any agreement. They are just a bunch of liars!"

Ma Huateng nodded in agreement, "This kind of thing is too bad! This is commercial fraud."

Qin Shaoyan added another sentence, "Mr. Ma, tell Mr. Newell about the misdeeds of Korean game companies in China."

Ma Huateng, who was already full of complaints, finally found an opportunity to vent his anger and told the story in a more jealous manner.

Fatty G was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Qin Shaoyan sighed, "The victims are not only Penguin, but also companies such as Shanda and NetEase. If you need it, Gabu, I can ask them to come forward to testify."

"No need." Fatty G waved his hand. He now understood the ethics of Korean game companies.

Qin Shaoyan said hello to Mr. Ma, hung up the phone, turned to G Fat and said, "The Koreans are not good partners. Their R&D capabilities are very poor, and they allow cheats to run rampant. Counter-Strike OL fell into their hands." It can only be destroyed."

"Although Counter-Strike is not my biological child, he is still a child of Valve. You can't just watch your child be led astray."

Qin Shaoyan is not a mindless hacker of Korean games. The R&D level of the early Korean game industry was generally very poor. After all, it started to rise in 98, and a few years were not enough to mature the entire industry.

Moreover, the Korean game industry is expanding rapidly, with a large number of newcomers entering, starting without any R&D experience.

In addition, Korean online games do not pay much attention to plug-ins and are poor in anti-cheat. In order to save server resources, a large amount of data is directly placed in the local client, allowing plug-in producers to easily tamper with the data.

For example, CF plug-ins are rampant. For example, the Tower of Eternity is directly called the tower of plug-ins, such as Dropout City and Warriors.

Qin Shaoyan added fuel to the fire, "After NEXON gets the authorization, it will definitely sell it to Chinese agents to make money. I know the Chinese game market better."

"They will try their best to increase their income by selling attributes, such as selling weapons with better attributes. As a competitive game, if the attributes are unbalanced, is it still a competitive game?"

Fat G's face was uncertain. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "John, if I want to sell the online game license but don't want the game to be destroyed, what can you do?"

"Then you can make it yourself." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "This thing is not that difficult. It will take a year or two to improve it, so that you can control the quality yourself, and you can continue to make money after handing over online games to agents. "

"How can a competitive online game make money?" G Fat asked, "without destroying the balance of the game."

Qin Shaoyan immediately sat up straight and said energetically: "We can sell new firearms and skins, as well as character models. Counter-Strike only has a few guns and characters. Everyone is tired of seeing them. Let's add some new weapons and characters. "

"Don't directly pay money to obtain these characters. Instead, put them in a blind box and draw them based on probability."

"Imagine that everyone else has an ordinary AK, but you have a gold AK in your hand. Isn't that cool?"

Fatty G nodded and said in agreement: "It's really cool."

"Look, it's very simple." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "As long as you want to make money, there is always a way."

The two were chatting happily when G's fat secretary came in and said cautiously: "Boss, the Koreans said they won't come today."

Fatty G's face turned dark immediately, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Why? There must be a reason."

The secretary hesitated for a moment, "They said something unexpected happened today and it was inconvenient to meet."

"Fake!" Fatty G waved his hand, "I understand."

After watching the secretary leave, Fatty G fell into deep thought.

Qin Shaoyan was in a good mood. The Koreans were basically cool here with G Fat, so there was no need for him to do anything else.

After a while, G Fat suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Shaoyan seriously, "John, how about our cooperation? Let's develop Counter-Strike OL together."

"Walter?!" Qin Shaoyan was shocked.

What a co-operator, I never even thought about doing this.

"Let's cooperate." Fatty G said with a happy face, "You and I, you have a lot of novel ideas, which are very helpful for developing online games."

"How's it going, John?"

"Let's work together, just like we did when we were working on the steam platform. We can make money together."

"..."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

G Fat excitedly patted Qin Shaoyan on the shoulder, "John, I really like working with you. You think so too, right?"
