Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

That depends on everyone's attention and the information they have.

Lin Li gradually discovered the source of the suspected problem.

I am very confident in the future market of ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games), so I dare to invest 10 billion.

Because he was confident he could take it back.

Logically speaking, while others may have confidence, they wouldn't have that much confidence.

After all, so many pirated versions of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece are openly using these IPs, and they're not making a lot of money.

It's like a business.

Lin Li knew that Naruto could still easily become the number one seller in the future. In fact, the Gundam IP, which had never proven itself in his previous life, was just a matter of bad luck, poor management, and terrible development, not a problem with the IP itself.

Therefore, Lin Li dared to take 10 billion, while believing that no one else would take that much money.

But the problem is...

At this point in time, will Penguin really give up so easily?

It's important to understand that Tencent's current performance in the lucrative market of anime-style mobile games is a complete failure, with zero wins.

First, there was their own shipgirl-like game, Bao Si, and then Girls' Frontline, which they heavily promoted, collapsed.

The president of Namco needs to add something visually appealing to his annual report.

Doesn't a publicly listed company like Tencent need these things to stabilize its stock price?

Also.

Since Lin Li was able to get the information that Bandai Namco needed cash, could Tencent also get the real information?

Soon, judging others by his own standards and considering the situation using the logic of conspiracy theories, Lin Li discovered a suspected information cocoon.

Any insider information is just news until it's officially released; it never represents the facts. You can know it, but don't believe it blindly.

In that case, 10 billion might not be enough to cover the copyright issue this time.

Bidding is a game of strategy.

It is a zero-sum game.

There can only be one winner, and in order to win, both sides can only guess the price the other has and try to quote as high as possible.

Lin Li initially thought 10 billion was a sure thing, but now, as doubts began to grow in his mind, he felt that it was no longer a sure thing.

Adding to Zhao Ming's performance, Lin Li became even more conflicted.

Simply guessing who the opponent is won't win this game; you need to come up with a winning price.

How much does the penguin think it will contribute?

How much will they add to this price?

How much should I ultimately contribute?

If you can't guess the penguin's intentions, you'll definitely be unhappy if you lose this round.

If you guessed the penguin's intentions and still lost the game, you'd be doubly annoyed!

Two hours before the bidding began, Lin Li called Yao Meng out.

“10 billion is no longer safe; we need to submit a new application.”

Yao Meng was shocked: "Huh? This...this is already very high. This is just the copyright fee. There are still costs for game development. If we add this and this..."

Lin Li: "Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you a number, and you fill out a new form for me."

~~~

Time ticks

Soon it was time to open the bids.

Since it was an internal bidding process within the company, and only for reference, the bidding process, while formal, wasn't exactly formal.

Lin Li handed over the tender documents submitted by Yao Mengxin directly.

Then I found a seat and sat down.

"Let's wait for the bidding to begin."

Sitting in his seat, Lin Li was still a little nervous.

He was more nervous than others because Lin Li knew how much these IPs were worth, and he also knew that once Tencent acquired the copyrights...

His idea of ​​making a Gundam game will be completely ruined.

However, apart from Lin Li, everyone else was also very nervous, since the outcome would only be known when the price was announced.

The top is 11 o'clock.

All companies submitted their bids, none of which were overdue, and all were compliant and valid.

According to the rules, these tender documents will be immediately unsealed and made public.

The first to submit their bid was from 9game, who joined forces with two other companies that made knock-off Bleach and Naruto games.

7.6 million! 3% copyright revenue sharing

They started with a high price.

In an instant, the smiles vanished from the faces of many small factory workers.

And immediately after.

miHoYo, Perfect World, NetEase, and even landmarks have been dismantled.

6 million, 7.8 million, 8.8 million

The copyright revenue share was all filled in as 3%, which means Lin Li's initial guess was absolutely right; everyone got "insider information."

Now is really the time to look at the price.

Looking at the price alone, NetEase's bid has exceeded everyone's initial expectations.

The announcement of the 8.8 million price tag caused a minor stir, with many commenting that Onmyoji is truly profitable and that NetEase was determined to acquire it, given the high price.

However, Zhao Ming, sitting in the audience, had a smile on his face and was not surprised at all. He even had the mood to look at Lin Li's expression.

Chapter 127 The Brightest Day in the Gaming World

Unfortunately, Lin Li's expression didn't change.

Then, one by one, the documents were opened for bidding.

The price has been hovering around 8 million.

Then came the penguins.

12.1 billion!!! 3% copyright revenue sharing

When this price was announced, everyone gasped in astonishment. Wow, that's really something! Tencent is truly extravagant.

The copyright fee of 12.1 billion is already outrageous.

There's also a 3% royalty fee.

It's important to know that copyright revenue sharing is also based on revenue sharing, so 3% is not a small amount.

While everyone was exclaiming in amazement at how incredibly wealthy Tencent was.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yao Meng gripped her leg tightly with her right hand.

Although his facial expression remained unchanged, he was screaming inside.

Holy crap, this is amazing!

~~~

Zhao Ming also turned to look at Lin Li's expression immediately.

Lin Li remained expressionless, but Zhao Ming felt that the outcome was already decided.

This price was the price he had to persuade headquarters to agree to after many applications. Even if Spark were to include Bilibili, they couldn't possibly come up with that much money.

This time, it's destined that the penguins will turn the tables.

As for whether Tencent can use these copyrights to boost its ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) gaming sector after taking them back, that's not something Zhao Ming needs to worry about.

After hearing Penguin's bid, those sitting near Zhao Ming felt that the bidding was a foregone conclusion, so they shook hands with Zhao Ming and began to congratulate Penguin in advance.

I hope to reach some cooperation with Tencent on some minor copyright issues.

Zhao Ming smiled and agreed.

It's as if he's already acquired all the copyrights.

However, the discussion in the meeting room was not allowed to continue, because the Spark Games tender documents were brought out.

Unpacking.

Publicly displayed prices.

12.1 billion, with a 3% share!

Unbelievable!

Same as each other!

this!??

Does this work too?

The previously hushed discussions could no longer be suppressed.

There was an uproar.

The smile that Zhao Ming hadn't completely faded from his face froze.

Suddenly, Zhao Ming felt a strong sense of disbelief, but at this moment, he was still able to remain calm, since it was just the same price.

Clearly, Bandai Namco Entertainment did not expect such a coincidence.

So after opening the remaining two tender documents.

The president and a few people went to the conference room for a meeting.

Logically speaking, everyone except Penguin and Spark Games should be able to leave now.

But actually.

Everyone, absolutely everyone, not a single one left.

The heart of gossip is burning.

How could I possibly miss such a great opportunity?

Even if I don't win, it depends on whether it's Tencent or Spark.

After his initial disbelief, Zhao Ming quickly regained his composure.

"Haha, great minds think alike. Luckily, this bidding wasn't a formal bidding process, otherwise the bidding would have failed and I would have wasted all my time."

Just as Zhao Ming said, this bidding process was actually just a bidding event that resembled a bidding process.

At the beginning, Bandai Namco also said that they would choose one of the top three to collaborate with.

Therefore, the same price will not result in a failed auction.

But Zhao Ming's words clearly had a hidden meaning.

"Oh? So, Mr. Zhao is very confident that he can win?"

"Although it may sound arrogant, Mr. Lin, Tencent's global influence is undeniable."

Zhao Ming smiled, patted Lin Li on the shoulder, and returned to his seat.

to him.

I was initially startled because I was afraid of the auction failing, but after I thought through the rules, I realized that I was fine.

He felt relieved.

As for whether Bandai Namco will choose Spark Games over Penguin Games when the prices are the same?
