Chapter 540

"President Zhu, at present, 20 game companies have contacted the vice president of Blizzard, but Blizzard has not made a statement."

"They are waiting for a price."

"We think so too. According to the news, Blizzard's opening conditions are very harsh. It not only needs a sky high agency fee, but also wants to get six or four points. We have six or four."

"What about Shanda and Netease?"

"There is no news at the moment, but Blizzard has disclosed that Allen will only stay in China for another week, and he will return to the United States in a week. We estimate that Shanda and Netease will contact Blizzard in these days."

At Jiucheng headquarters, the assistant reported the industry news to CEO Zhu Jun.

Undoubtedly, what they are most concerned about recently is the agency of Blizzard world of Warcraft.

This is a super online game concerned by countless game manufacturers around the world.

Any game company wants to represent world of Warcraft.

Not to mention, as the largest market of online games in the world, China is a competitive incentive.

Previously, more than 20 game agents went to negotiate with Blizzard, which was just a warm-up.

Many people know that Blizzard can't represent these game companies.

In addition to these more than 20 game companies, there are three large game companies.

Nine cities, Shanda, Netease.

The reason why we didn't say Huanyu technology.

Because Huanyu technology is a super game company.

They already have their own 3D games, and it is said that they will compete with world of Warcraft.

So, only these three companies are qualified to represent Blizzard world of Warcraft.

One is that the three companies have made a lot of money by relying on the previous games and have strong strength.

In addition, their operation experience is also very mature.

After his assistant reported a series of news to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun held a company meeting.

The content of the meeting is to win world of Warcraft.

Just the next day, nine cities contacted Blizzard Vice President Alan.

The two sides talked for a whole day.

As for the contents of the negotiations, most of them are confidential.

But one news was revealed.

Nine cities spent $50 million in agency fees for this agency.

This sky high agency fee directly shocked the whole country.

You know, although the agent of an online game has to pay the agent fee.

However, the general agency fee is not high, up to 10 or 20 million, and some even millions.

The main thing is not the agency fee, but the remaining share.

But now, let alone share, the agency fee alone has reached 50 million, or US dollars.

If converted into RMB, the agency fee is RMB 400 million at the exchange rate in 2004.

Such an agency fee not only created a record, but also shocked the whole Internet.

……

"50 million dollars. Zhu Jun is really willing to pay for it."

Shanda president's office.

Chen Tianqiao and Chen Danian frowned.

They had long known that the contest was inevitable, but they didn't expect to enlarge it.

"Nine cities are estimated to be determined to win, otherwise it is impossible to spend $50 million in agency fees."

For the two, they naturally can afford the agency fee of $50 million.

In recent years, Shanda has added agents for dozens of games, and has already made billions.

But the agency fee of $50 million is still a figure that can not be underestimated.

If the agent world of Warcraft operates successfully, the money can be earned back in the future.

But if acting for world of Warcraft is not successful, this is a very risky business.

You know, it's not that the better the quality of the game, the more popular it will be in the market.

Like heaven 2.

At that time, Paradise 2 was also highly praised by the outside world, but acting in China became a dog.

Of course, world of Warcraft is not comparable to heaven 2.

According to the data published at present, they are very excited.

They believe.

As long as the world of Warcraft agent comes back, they can definitely run him successfully.

"Brother, we're still a little late."

Chen Danian sighed.

"It's not too late."

Chen Tianqiao shook his head and said, "at present, Blizzard has not signed a contract with nine cities."

"But Zhu Jun threw so much money, Blizzard should be excited."

"If there are no competitors, Blizzard should sign this contract with nine cities, but there are not only nine cities in China. Moreover, from this news, we know that Blizzard wants to go further."

Who sent the sky high agency fee of $50 million?

It can't be nine cities.

Since it's not nine cities, there's only blizzard.

"Da Nian, you go to blizzard. We bid 60 million and agree to their six or four points."

Make up your mind, Chen Tianqiao said.

"OK, I'll contact them immediately."

With that, Chen Danian left the office.

However, while Chen Danian went to blizzard, Netease also took action.

This time, Ding Yingfeng, vice president of Netease, went to blizzard.

"President Chen, what a coincidence?"

"President Ding, what a coincidence?"

On the way to meet Alan, they happened to meet.

"Why don't you go first?"

Ding Yingfeng asked.

"You can talk first."

Chen Danian also stretched out his hand.

Then they laughed and said, "since we met, let's go together."

“Ok。”

Although there were some accidents, since we met, it was the time to really fight for strength.

It's nothing to see alone.

"Mr. Allen, we have shown our sincerity."

After a conversation, the two sides have offered to each other several times.

The original $60 million insisted by Chen Danian was also mentioned as $70 million after the arrival of Netease.

Dante Yingfeng has been authorized by Ding Lei. No matter how high the price is offered by the competitors, they will be 1 million higher.

Finally, Chen Danian withdrew from the contest, and Blizzard signed a letter of intent with Netease.

"How about Yingfeng?"

"Live up to your mission."

Ding Yingfeng took out a letter of intent and reported to Ding Lei.

"Great."

Ding Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

They will not worry about Netease in the next few years if they can win world of Warcraft.

With the joining of world of Warcraft, they can compete with Huanyu technology in the game in the future.

"However, Mr. Ding, we also paid a high price. The agency fee reached US $74 million and the share was 64."

Before, the agency cooperation signed by game companies was 73 points.

That is, agency company 7 and R & D company 3.

This is more reasonable.

Because R & D companies don't want to do anything and take money for nothing. It's good to get 30%.

In addition, the agency contract can represent multiple agents, not only to China, but also to South Korea.

Sixty four points, which is the exit that Blizzard dared to open.

"It's all right. Winning is success."

Although the cost is huge, they still make money in such a large game market as China.

However, when Ding Lei is preparing to sign a formal agency contract with blizzard in the next few days.

Another game company that no one thought about, entered the venue.

This game company is called Huanyu technology.

They offered a sky high agency fee of $200 million.
