Shanghai, *** headquarters. 【

"Manager Li, what else is there to talk about?"

Chen Tianqiao's expression is very calm now, as if he had expected everything that happened today.

In fact, the source code of the legend was leaked as early as July. For this reason, there is also an English version of the legend in the UK, but now it is just a private server of the Chinese version.

"After talking about it, Mr. Chen still thinks that we toz leaked the source code on purpose?"

This time, it was "Li Zhixian" from South Korea's toz company who came to *** company, toz company, that is, the online game company that developed the legendary game.Its products include Legend, Millennium, and Afterlife 3 online games 3.

"Isn't it?"

Chen Tianqiao smiled coldly, he didn't seem to have the slightest affection for Toz Company.

As early as 2000, Chen Tianqiao represented the legend of the toz company with a price of 30 US dollars.The agreement signed at that time was two years, that is, it will expire in 2002.For the two-year agreement, Chen Tianqiao didn't think so much at the time.Because he has nothing to consider.Only the legendary product can be represented to *** at such a cheap price.

It's just that I didn't expect that after Tangchao Network became a shareholder of ***, *** company soared into the sky, and its legend was also widely publicized through "Dudu Online", and it became the second largest online game company in China at that time.Up to now, the number of Legendary online users at the same time has remained at around 40, and the peak even exceeded 50.

However, at this moment, because the contract is approaching. Toz Company took this as a threat and directly contacted the *** network, expressing that it would increase the agency fee.If not, once the contract expires, the legend's agency will be transferred to Guangtong.This Guangtong is the Internet company that will emerge from the Water Margin Q Chuan in the market outlook.

Faced with this rational request, Chen Tianqiao directly refused.In addition, directly withhold the sharing fees allocated to South Korea in the contract for July, August, and September.So far, on the surface, Tang Dynasty Company is still cooperating closely with toz, but in fact it is dark-tide-turbulent. Seeing that the *** company is so tyrannical, and he is not weak, Toz transferred all technical specialists back to Korea and no longer provided update services for legends.This is why, for a long time, legends have never been updated.

Until now, the emergence of domestic legendary private servers.

"I think it's because your company doesn't want to cooperate with us toz again, and wants to lose the share fee."

Don't underestimate the toz company's only 3% share of profits.However, the popularity of Legend in China has made *** Network a lot of money.In addition, toz company has become a first-class game manufacturer in Korea from a small game company by taking advantage of the *** company.Moreover, it is precisely because of the popularity of Legend in China that it has also stimulated Legend to act as an agent all over the world.Because all countries in the world have seen that among Korean games, only "Legend" has achieved success in the Chinese market, and other games have performed mediocrely or even poorly.

Because of this, countries around the world are very interested in the agency rights of Legend.

"Joke, the Legend 3 developed secretly by your company has already signed a contract with Guangtong. Can't you explain something?"

There are many "Legendary Series" under toz company. In addition to "Hot Blood Legend", now toz company has developed Legend 3.Basically, Legend 3 is about the same as Legend of Blood.That is to say, the map and characters have been changed, just like the "legendary world" that *** company is developing.

"Mr. Chen, so that means there is no need to discuss?"

"What do you say?"

Why did Chen Tianqiao not want to get rid of toz company? If 3% of the net profit was given away for nothing.Whoever it is, feels distressed.It's just that the contract is signed, so you have to send it if you don't.Taking advantage of the legendary source code leak incident in July, Chen Tianqiao instantly became angry, and directly deducted their share fee, preparing to fight with toz company.

Anyway, Legend has already taken care of it.Even if toz company no longer continues to update Legend of Blood, Chen Tianqiao doesn't care.Besides, the *** network has a lot of technicians, so it can continue to develop on the basis of the legend of blood.As for infringement or non-infringement, then go to court.

"Mr. Chen, you have to remember that according to the terms of the agreement, if Party B is in arrears with the sharing fee for 2 months, Party A has the right to terminate the contract."

At this time, Li Zhixian began to threaten the *** company.

The meaning of this sentence is that once toz company and *** network terminate the agency contract.Then, toz company can transfer the agency rights of Legend of Blood to any domestic manufacturer.For example, Guangtong.Later Ninetowns represented Blizzard's Warcraft, and a series of problems arose after the contract expired.In the end, the agency rights of World of Warcraft successfully fell into the hands of NetEase.

It is rumored that Netease's distribution ratio for World of Warcraft may be 46, and it is also rumored to be 55.In short, it is much higher than Ninetowns' agent World of Warcraft.

It is also found that if the developer's game is popular in a certain area, the developer wants to obtain a greater share of profits.If you agree, then after the contract expires, I will be 88 with you.At that time, Ninetowns became a first-class Internet company in China relying on a game of Warcraft.However, Ninetowns does not have the means of hacking the Internet to keep Warcraft hegemony.

For Chen Tianqiao, this crisis is also a challenge.

"casual."

The source code of the legend has been leaked since July, although the Chinese version has not appeared until now.But this period of time was enough for Chen Tianqiao to prepare.For this reason, this time "Li Zhixian" came to the *** network, and Chen Tianqiao also directly played cards with them, completely breaking off the agency relationship.

……

Tsinghua University, 6 p.m.

At this time, Chen Jiayi received a call from Chen Tianqiao.

"Mr. Chen, how did you go with toz?"

Hearing from Zhang Zixian that Chen Tianqiao was negotiating with South Korean toz company, Chen Jiayi's first sentence was to ask directly.

"Maybe toz company will interrupt Legend's agency rights to *** Network."

Chen Tianqiao didn't answer immediately, but after thinking about it, he opened his mouth slowly.Maybe, he was also thinking about how to explain it to Chen Jiayi.Although ***Network has always been managed by itself, ***Network should still give an explanation to the headquarters for such a big event as a breach of contract and an agency incident.

"Well, let me tell you about the whole thing, including the private server incident that occurred today."

Chen Jia nodded, not surprised.Because Chen Tianqiao of later generations also did the same.

Chen Jiayi replied so calmly, but Chen Tianqiao was taken aback.However, Chen Tianqiao soon woke up.Who is Chen Jiayi? In the international market, he competes with major companies in the world. He plays too much.Not to mention the recent e-commerce, even when the Tang Dynasty company was first established, Chen Jiayi used a lot of methods.I'm afraid it's not Chen Jiayi's turn to care about such a trivial matter.

Afterwards, Chen Zaiqiao reported the whole story to Chen Jiayi.

"I see."

After hearing Chen Tianqiao's explanation, Chen Jiayi finally understood.

On the one hand, toz company wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Internet before the private server appeared.When the other party was dissatisfied, he also wanted to take advantage of this private server incident to completely get rid of the toz company and stop the sharing fee.

"Hearing that you are so calm, I'm afraid Mr. Chen already has a way to deal with it. Tell me."

Chen Tianqiao has two more classic battles in later generations, one is the "empty glove white wolf" tactic when Chen Tianqiao started his career.The other is to use the domestic private server incident to completely get rid of the control of the toz company.This is also the first classic business war in China where an agency company defeated a game development company.

"This time we broke up with the South Korean toz company. I am afraid that the Korean toz company will unilaterally terminate the agency contract with *** Network tomorrow. However, the legendary client is already in ***, and his termination of the agency has no effect on us. I am afraid that Afraid, toz company will sue *** Network..."

After all, although Internet laws are not very sound.However, *** company signed an agency contract with toz company, which is directly effective and protected by law. *** No matter how horizontal the network is, it is impossible to operate it by yourself, and the developer will not be paid agency fees.

"Taking advantage of this private server crisis, we decided to act first and sue them."

At this time, Chen Tianqiao directly stated his strategy.

"It's a good one to strike first."

Regardless of whether toz company leaked the legendary source code by itself, he has the responsibility of not leaking it.And, he's a first-party skeptic. The *** network acted first, and sued toz for leaking the source code, which made ***'s operation miserable.Even if there is no evidence to directly prove that the toz company has indeed leaked the source code, it can still continue to operate the legend by relying on this paper complaint.

Moreover, it is impossible for other companies to take back the agency rights of Legend of Blood from toz, because no one can join in this lawsuit until the outcome is decided.If the time drags on, there will be some international lawsuits, and it may take another year or two.When the time comes, toz will probably succumb to any share of fees that Falun Dafa gets.

In fact, this is exactly the case. After Chen Tianqiao of later generations sued toz company for leaking the source code, toz company reached a settlement agreement with *** and renewed the legendary agency contract for another two years.

Chen Tianqiao deserved to be Chen Tianqiao, even the arrival of Chen Jiayi did not change Chen Tianqiao's wisdom.However, although Chen Tianqiao's measures are good, they only solve the agency problem between *** company and toz.In other words, at this step, Chen Tianqiao can keep Legend of Blood from being represented by other online game companies.However, Chen Tianqiao still hadn't resolved the matter of the legendary private server.

"So, what is *** going to do about the legendary private server?"

If the private server of the legend is not handled well, even if the legend is kept, the *** company will have to drop a lot of profits.Fortunately, the masters of the later generations were smart and directly copied a legendary world.Many users who lost their passion for legends were drawn into the world of legends.However, this is not the solution.

If the private server is not eliminated for a day, with the proxy method of ***, it will still fall into the vicious circle of private servers.

This vicious circle, to put it more vividly, is to represent a game, and then, after about a year of operation, private servers appear in the market, and the official server is over.Continue acting as an agent, release private servers, and finish the official server...
