My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 54 Mist
After Niu Tieming introduced the senior executives from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment who were present, Zhou Kuang counted them and found that there were almost ten of them in total. He was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Niu Tieming just wanted to introduce the current achievements of Megvii Games to his own leader, but he didn't expect that not only people from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment were present, but also people from the parent company Antarctic Group.

This is quite interesting!

Zhou Kuang smelled an unusual scent and kept wondering about the reason behind it.

But what he didn't know was that Niu Tieming's acquisition of 5% of Kuangshi Games' shares had caused quite a bit of controversy within the Antarctic Group.

At the beginning, it was indeed the people within Antarctic Interactive Entertainment who first reacted. To be precise, it was Niu Tieming and his group who, after watching the actual machine demonstration of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", insisted on investing in Megvii Games.

However, something went wrong later, and somehow, someone reported it to the Antarctic Group.

And even more surprising things are yet to come.

Logically speaking, Antarctic Group had no control over this matter, after all, it was just Antarctic Interactive Entertainment's own investment behavior. However, no one expected that Antarctic Group would take a decision on this matter so quickly.

Antarctic Group’s attitude is: respect Antarctic Interactive Entertainment’s views, but oppose this investment.

Their opinion was to give up this extremely risky investment and instead engage in preliminary cooperation with the other party.

If the other party can really complete the project and reach that level, it will not be too late for them to invest.

The subtext is that Antarctic Group believes that Kuangshi Games is a fraud and has set itself up too high. There is a high probability that it will fail to achieve its goals and eventually be ruined.

After all, Megvii Games' historical record is not good, and many people on the Internet have very similar ideas to them.

Therefore, they judged that the risk of this investment was extremely high.

This is exactly the opposite of the view within Antarctic Interactive Entertainment.

But at that time, Niu Tieming had already brought his men to Kuangshi Game.

After some negotiations between the two sides, he was about to leave the reception room, intending to ask his superiors for instructions on whether to continue to make concessions or stick to the bottom line.

They didn't expect Zhou Kuang to insist on the 5% figure at first.

And the negotiation authority that Niu Tieming had at the beginning was not as low as 5%.

Unexpectedly, Niu Tieming heard instructions to "stop".

This wasn't because his superiors were going back on their word and wanted him to stop. Rather, they were clearly advising him not to get involved in the conflicts and struggles between some people at headquarters.

This incident is definitely not directed at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, nor is it directed at certain people in Antarctic Interactive Entertainment. They just happened to be involved in it.

This kind of extremely sudden instruction from the superior company should have been avoided by anyone with a sensitive sense of smell.

After hearing this, Niu Tieming was so upset that he had no words to say.

You are still sitting in the headquarters of Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, and you can be a chameleon at any time.

But at this time, he was already in Kuangshi Company. Whether he continued to talk or withdrew immediately, he could not get away.

In other words, he was forced into the center of the battlefield without knowing it. If he wanted to desert, both sides would simply assume that he was their enemy.

After thinking it over again and again, Niu Tieming made a choice reluctantly.

Not only did he not stop, but he intensified his efforts and quickly signed the contract before anyone had the chance to stop him.

In order to avoid any further complications, he agreed to Zhou Kuang's 5% request without even discussing it.

Because at this time, it doesn’t matter whether the contract is about 5% or 10%. What matters is the outcome of the battle between the bigwigs above.

Therefore, he might as well sell Zhou Kuang out, perhaps he could help him later. With little intelligence, Niu Tieming could only trust his intuition.

This is also why, during this period, Kuangshi Games has been able to continue to receive resources provided by Niu Tieming without any effort, because the person who most hopes for his success right now is probably Niu Tieming himself.

Niu Tieming looked at Fu Zhenping on the other side with bitterness in his heart, and then immediately looked away.

Fu Zhenping is the CFO who was parachuted into Antarctic Group and is also one of the people in Antarctic Interactive Entertainment who is most opposed to this investment.

He represents the interests of a section of the Antarctic group.

"Meishi Independent Games Company is a subsidiary newly established by Meishi Games this year..." Ma Tu opened the prepared PPT and introduced the background of Qingyan Studio to everyone from Antarctic Interactive Entertainment.

"Qingyan Studio is the only studio in Kuangshi Independent Games, specializing in independent games."

"All employees of Qingyan Studio are veterans who have worked at Megvii Games for more than three years."

“Our studio staff are experienced and full of team spirit…”

Fu Zhenping narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him.

A subsidiary? An experienced employee of Megvii Games?
What a joke!
Just as Mr. He said, Antarctic Interactive Entertainment’s working style is a complete mess!
How can they make good money with such subordinate companies!
It is imperative for Antarctic Group to update its organizational structure.

Anyone who prevents them from doing this is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and will be crushed under the wheels of history.

He sneered, shaking his legs.

Next, Ma Tu began to present content about "Vampire Survivor".

It includes the game's design concept, initial plan, marketing methods, sales strategy, etc., which can be said to be every detail.

Niu Tieming listened to Ma Tu's presentation very carefully, nodding his head in approval from time to time.

Some of the vice presidents standing by seemed indifferent, while others also looked interested.

Such unique games are rarely seen within Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, because these games may be rejected by their review department during the planning stage.

Mr. Jiang, the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Distribution, raised his hand and asked, "You said you were planning to sell it on Steam, right?"

"That's right." Ma Tu nodded, and Zhou Kuang turned around and looked at Mr. Jiang who asked the question.

The other person looked at him with a hint of scrutiny and pushed up the black-framed glasses on his nose.

"If you ask me whether I support it or not, I definitely do."

"But I'm more worried about whether I can recoup my costs just through Steam."

"As far as I know, no independent game in China sold over one million copies last year."

"Have you considered the number of domestic Steam players?"

"Also, how do you consider localization in other regions?"

"I would like to learn more about your monetization policy."

After listening to the other party's series of questions, Ma Tu was sweating profusely.

Why isn't this person speaking according to the lyrics? I didn't prepare this part!
Fortunately, Zhou Kuang was behind him.

Zhou Kuang coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then stood up.
