My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 33 Negotiation
"That's good."

"I'll get straight to the point."

"We appreciate the project your company has just announced."

"The Netherworld Mountains and Seas."

"A very nice name."

"We came here today to see if there is any way we can collaborate and make this project a success."

After hearing Niu Tieming's words, Zhou Kuang nodded. It was exactly as he expected.

"Thank you very much for coming. I am indeed interested in cooperation..."

Upon hearing the "somewhat" interest, Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's investment manager's eyelids twitched.

Which of the previous companies was not overjoyed when they heard that Antarctic Interactive Entertainment wanted to invest?
The boss opposite was actually speaking in a pretentious manner.

However, considering the popularity and quality of the other party's game, he does have the qualifications to be proud of it.

However, that was just a promotional video, and the game hasn't been released yet.

If Antarctic Interactive Entertainment wants to, there are ten thousand ways to make them fail. Now it depends on whether the other party knows how to act.

“We have always hoped to do something more beneficial to the industry ecosystem.”

Hearing the other party's words, Zhou Kuang tried hard not to roll his eyes.

"We not only invest in mobile games and online games, but we have also been working in the single-player and console game markets."

"We have invested in many stand-alone game studios abroad."

Niu Tieming is not wrong in what he said. Antarctic Interactive Entertainment can be found in many foreign stand-alone game studios.

"In the past, this market in China has always been very small, and we have been investing in, cultivating, and supporting small and medium-sized teams."

Niu Tieming nodded to the deputy director of investment, who then took over and said, "We want investment."

"Investment is fine, but..."

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Director of Investment showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Let me be frank." Zhou Kuang relaxed and said, "After investing, will you interfere with product decisions and the company's daily operations?"

"will not."

The deputy director spoke with extraordinary decisiveness.

Zhou Kuang nodded, thinking that the other party had already anticipated this question.

Not interfering is indeed the consistent style of Antarctic Interactive Entertainment.

"Absolutely not. You can just pretend we don't exist. Many companies can prove this," Niu Tieming added.

"So you guys want to snatch the distribution and operation rights after the game goes online?"

Zhou Kuang suddenly opened his mouth and started to speak, leaving Ma Tu, who was unable to speak, dumbfounded.

Wow, is this so direct?

Yang Ji remained silent, secretly looking at the people from his old employer opposite him.

However, he felt that these senior executives would definitely not remember that there was someone like him.

Niu Tieming laughed when he heard this question. Looking at the young and handsome face of the boss opposite, he sighed in his heart, "He is indeed a young man, arrogant and full of youthful vigor."

Everyone has this period.

However, if you are not passionate, can you still be called a young person?
"No," the Deputy Director of Investment said succinctly, "We just want to make friends."

Niu Tieming turned around and gave the deputy director a look, who nodded, understanding that it was time to get down to business.

“We want a 20% stake.”

"What can you give me?"

"money."

"I don't need money."

Of course Zhou Kuang needs money, but if it is just for money, he has countless ways to raise funds. Selling 20% ​​of the shares just for money is the stupidest way.

"Of course, it's not just about money," Niu Tieming said. "You guys are using the Unreal Engine, and we also use it to develop many of our internal projects."

"We can provide you with unwavering technical support. We can communicate more in the future. Please feel free to ask for any needs you may have."

The parent company of Unreal Engine is invested by Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, and all technical resources related to Unreal Engine in the Chinese region are also controlled by them.

"Besides, we can also help with publicity!"

Hearing this, Zhou Kuang's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Was this a threat to him?

“If you don’t invest, can you help?”

"Boss Zhou is joking."

“If you invest, what else do you require?”

"We hope to carry the Antarctic Interactive Entertainment logo."

"impossible."

"We can talk."

"That's out of the question."

"Okay, then we can discuss this further..."

"How can you ensure that? You can ensure that you won't regret what you just said?"

“We can put every single one of those into the contract.”

Everyone had smiles on their faces, but they had already exchanged several rounds of secret exchanges between them.

Antarctic Interactive Entertainment is indeed a company of its own in the domestic industry. If we join their circle, there will naturally be many benefits.

When it comes to promotional resources, their social software alone can basically be said to be unrivaled in the world.

There is basically no need to worry about funds. Money is probably the easiest thing for the other party to obtain and the thing they care the least about. Antarctic Interactive Entertainment basically just throws the money around.

As long as you nod and agree to Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's investment, all these will be within your reach.

The 20% request is just an exorbitant price asked by the other party, and it can be easily negotiated down to a single digit.

In that case, even if the other party wanted to compete for the distribution and operation rights, it would be impossible.

After all, the shares of Megvii Games are still wholly owned by him.

On the contrary, if you do not join, you may be regarded as a hostile camp by the other side.

in the country, it is impossible to bypass Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, at least in the gaming industry.

Join us or become our enemy.

It must not feel good to be targeted by such an industry giant.

After thinking it through, Zhou Kuang raised his head and saw the person opposite him waiting patiently for him to think.

The employees around him also patiently waited for his final decision.

He held up the five fingers of his right hand.

"5%. The most I can give you is 5% of the shares."

“What about 18%?”

"Only 5%."

"16% or so, let's each make some concessions."

"5%."

The Deputy Director of Investment turned to look at his leader, feeling a headache.

He had never seen such a stubborn boss, nor had he seen such a good negotiator. He was determined from the start and would not give in at all.

Niu Tieming touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "10%."

“Just 5%!”

Seeing his boss being so upright, Ma Tu felt worried for him. If the talks failed, who knew what Antarctic Interactive Entertainment would do?
The other party can kill these little ants with just one finger.

Seeing Zhou Kuang like this, Niu Tieming felt helpless.

"Let's think about it."

"Ok, no problem."

Zhou Kuang took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with them one by one.

He was not worried that the other party would leave on their own initiative. He knew that Antarctic Interactive Entertainment needed a high-quality stand-alone game to change its reputation in China.

Even though it doesn't have their logo, it's just a pure investment.

It doesn't matter even if the other party refuses, he doesn't have to have them.

Considering the other party's bad reputation, Zhou Kuang might be more inclined to other options!
