The downstairs of magic box culture office building.
Wu Junxian personally sent Karen and wood to the company gate.
Looking at the two people sitting on the bus, he waved with a smile and said "walk slowly".
The security guard sitting in the guard booth noticed the scene, pulled his colleagues and whispered.
"It seems that the overseas version of this tribal conflict is going online."
"You know all that?"
"You are stupid. When did our company have overseas business? Now suddenly, two foreigners come, not for the tribal conflict, but for the cool Silk Road overlord? "
"Your brain hole is a little big," the colleague said with an incredulous look on his face. "Can you, as a security guard, know if the negotiation is finished?"
"Is that possible? If you look at the expression on President Wu's face, can that be the end of the conversation? "
Seeing that they were about to get on the bus and leave, the security guard quickly took out his mobile phone and took a picture secretly.
Just taking a picture is not the end of the matter. He poked his finger at the screen and whispered in a low voice.
"No, I can't eat this melon alone. I have to send a circle of friends as soon as possible."
At the same time, sitting in the taxi to the hotel, wood had an expression that he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
Looking at the calm expression on the boss's face, he finally made up his mind and said.
"Boss."
Looking at the first draft of the agreement in hand, Karen glanced slightly and said in a relaxed tone.
"What's the matter?"
After thinking about the wording for a while, wood said cautiously.
"I didn't expect you to agree to their terms."
Seems to expect his men will ask this question, Karen light smile, tone no change to continue to say.
"The share of four to six is really harsh, especially when we are four. But if the total income is considerable, the share ratio is not unacceptable. In fact, it's a good thing for us not to pay 100 million at one time. At least our publicity budget will be more generous. "
"I don't think the problem is the proportion of shares, but their additional terms," wood continued, with a trace of resentment. "There is a minimum guarantee agreement on the basis of four to six shares. They have almost lost all the risks to us!"
If it's just a sharing agreement, it doesn't matter. Almost any agency will be happy to accept these terms without additional agency fees.
After all, for them, the pure share agreement is almost guaranteed.
If you make money, you will give it to some overseas manufacturers. If you don't make money, you don't have to worry about losing the agency fee. Once the server is shut down, everything will be fine. Anyway, IP is not your own, so you don't have to worry about it.
In addition to Xia and some European countries, the protection of virtual property in most countries of the people's Federation of China is not strict enough to the extent that the game can not be closed.
However, the problem is that on the basis of the sharing agreement, magic box culture has added a minimum guarantee agreement, which stipulates that if the annual sharing income is less than 50 million, the part less than 50 million will be made up by Bulldog company.
This agreement can no longer be described by the overlord clause. It's just a scamp of chiguoguo.
In the same way, if the profit is more than 50 million, it will be paid according to the proportion of 46. If the profit is less than 50 million, it will be paid according to 50 million. After two years, it will be 100 million. That is to say, all the benefits will be taken by the Xia people, and all the risks will be taken by them.
At that time, when he heard that Wu Junxian put out this clause, wood almost lost control of his emotions, got angry on the spot, lifted the table and left.
He thought the boss's heart was the same as his own, but he didn't expect that after a heavy face of thinking, Karen nodded and agreed.
"I can understand your confusion, but you have to know that business itself is a risky thing."
Looking at her old friend who had worked with her for many years, Karen stopped and continued.
"If it's another game, I certainly won't talk with them for so long, but this game is different. In the largest player exchange forum in North America, hundreds of topic groups about tribal conflicts have been registered. The players in the forum would rather play the game with hundreds of delays and agents who pay tens of dollars a month, and update their experience in the topic group with enthusiasm... Do you think we can live up to their expectations
Wood was dumb and didn't know how to answer.
Eyes back to the hands of the draft agreement, Karen light smile, relaxed tone does not change.
"To be serious, if I had only 80% confidence that this game could become a popular mobile game in North America before I came here, then it has now reached 90%."
"... may I ask why?" Wood could not help asking, "is it just because... They insist on sharing?"
Said Karen, shaking her head.
"How can it be? There are many game companies that are confident of fans. How can I influence my judgment because of their subjective feelings about their own games? What really interests me is general manager Hao of Yunmeng group. "
"Mr. hao?"
"Yes, the man who was praised as a genius by Xia Guo's netizens," said Karen with a faint smile. "Half a year ago, my understanding of this name was in a paper in a professional computer journal, which mentioned a research on magic numbers."
"You mean... The genius who improved the hardware performance by modifying the underlying functions?" Wood looked surprised and whispered, "I thought it was the same name."
"It's either the same name or the same person," Karen continued. "Of course, his genius is not only in programming, but also in his amazing investment vision and his talent for designing games. I have studied this person's information carefully. In less than a year, the valuation of Yunmeng group has reached hundreds of millions. This guy's experience can be described as a legend. "
"But... What does this have to do with the game we're going to represent?" The expression on wood's face became more and more confused. He began to have some difficulty in understanding what the boss wanted to say.
"It's too much of a relationship," he continued with a slight sigh. "Do you remember the change of Wu Junxian's attitude in the past two days, who has been communicating with us about the agency agreement? I remember very clearly that when I first opened a 100 million quotation market, his reaction was poor, and he didn't say the word "deal" on the spot
"However, after the negotiation with his parent company, his attitude has changed 180 degrees. He not only started to hold on to the sharing agreement, but also proposed a minimum guarantee contract that few people would agree to."
"I've thought for a long time about what made his attitude change 180 degrees, and the final conclusion is only one."
"That's the beginning of Mr. Hao's initial design of this game. This game is prepared for the international market, but Xia Guo's domestic distribution is only for hands-on training. In other words, the overseas version of the tribal conflict plan has always been on Mr. Hao's desk, but he didn't inform Mr. Hao of the magic box culture in advance. "
"So what kind of minimum guarantee agreement, the share of 46, is just to drive us away."
Wood could not help but continue.
"Since they don't want to see us at all, why should we be so hot and cold?"
"That's what I call risk. Of course, it might be more accurate for them to call it a variable. "
In the face of the subordinate's incomprehensible sight, Karen's face with a bright smile, said slowly.
"After seeing that agreement, normal people will retreat... But I'm not the kind of person who plays by the routine."
The eye twinkles a fine awn, he continues to say with the tone that hit the nail on the head.
"Now that Mr. Hao has made up his mind, we will retreat after seeing this harsh agreement."
"Then I'll be the variable in his plan."
