Chapter 164

This call from the United States is from Mihn Lee, the father of counter strike, which worked with Lin Feng before. On the phone, Mihn Lee told Lin Feng that because Lin Feng recommended them to develop online games and networked counter strike when they cooperated with each other, after consideration, the valve game development team has just developed online. In view of the pleasant cooperation between the two sides, we hope to discuss with Lin Feng about his agency right in China.

At the same time, Mihn Lee also wants to introduce the founder and current CEO of valve to Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng can come to the United States as soon as possible.

Hearing the news, Lin Feng was in high spirits. He didn't expect to talk to Mihn Lee casually at the beginning, hoping that he could develop counter strike into an online game. However, a year later, he really developed it into an online game and was the first to contact himself.

Now "Counter Strike" is hot all over the world, and it has officially become the official event of the first WCG (World E-sports competition) just held by Samsung of South Korea this year, attracting thousands of Game Masters to participate. Although there was no team in China at this time, counter strike was in full swing in China and loved by all.

Lin Feng had also sold more than 400000 copies of the quasi genuine "Counter Strike" through Dingdang. Tencent also provided an online game platform, with an endless stream of players. If the launch of "anti terrorist elite online" at this time, it is bound to be very hot, and can make its own game Empire to a higher level.

Legend is a role-playing online game, while plants vs. Zombies is a leisure online game. The upcoming "anti terrorism elite online" is a first person shooting online game. The three online games are divided into different types of players, and they are all high-quality online games. Therefore, instead of conflict, they can echo each other, It is bound to make its "second world" reach a new peak.

At present, Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu, Liu YingYing and others urgently held a small meeting to determine the maximum amount of money that can be borne by the Bank of America acting for "anti terrorism elite online" and related details. After arranging the company's affairs, Lin Feng took several assistants to the United States alone.

This trip to the United States also made Lin Feng realize that there were too few think tanks around him. Every meeting had to call together Dingdang CEO Liu YingYing and "second world" CEO Wu Zhaopu to negotiate, which was not conducive to the development of the company. In particular, their own company is growing, want high-speed and stable development, talent is essential, but also a large number of talents.

Talent, talent. I hope I can search for some talents in this trip to the United States.

The working style and attitude of Americans and Rb people are just different. As soon as Lin Feng got off the plane, Newell, CEO of valve, and Mihn Lee welcomed Lin Feng in person, and took Lin Feng directly to the company headquarters, which made Lin Feng not even enjoy the legendary Silicon Valley.

The headquarters of valve company is not big,. However, in Silicon Valley, where every inch of land is worth every inch of money, if you want to rent a floor or a building, that's not what valve, a company that has only developed a few games, can afford.

After entering the company and having a brief chat, Newell introduced the main creators of the company, and then asked the technicians to show Lin Feng the picture and operability of "anti terrorism elite online".

The screen adheres to the consistent style of counter strike. The light and shadow effects, screen details, music and sound effects are still not excellent, but they are enough to make the game run smoothly. Moreover, the demanding screen also directly reduces the requirements for computer configuration, which is the key to the popularity of an online game.

As for the operation, he still provided as many guns as counter strike, and maintained the original pleasant feeling and good hand feeling. Lin Feng tried, and felt very good. The feeling of sweeping the battlefield with an AK47 is still so exciting.

As for the rules of the game, after the adaptation for online games, a variety of modes have been added: competitive mode (traditional "Counter Strike" Lan mode), decisive mode, grenade mode, limit mode, biochemical mode, etc. The biggest highlight is the expansion of the camp system.

Anti terrorism elite online is divided into CT camp, t camp and zombie camp. In the CT camp, there are elite forces from various countries, such as the armed action team of France, the snow area special forces of Russia, the thunder team of Taiwan, the warning hall guard of Rb, the seal commando of the United States, and of course, the most important Chinese Yanlong tactical team.

Lin Feng can imagine that once the agent in the future, the choice of Chinese Yanlong tactical team players must be countless.

As for the T camp, there are the blue Corps (mercenary troops) of the United States, the crazy guerrillas in the Middle East, and the sunset corps of Rb. To Lin Feng's surprise, Rb has three troops selected in the T camp. I'm afraid that once the network is operated in the future, whoever chooses the RB corps of the T camp will be beaten.

The zombie camp is divided into five kinds of Zombies: ordinary zombies, host zombies, shadow Barbie, abominable butchers, witchcraft zombies and so on. Although zombies can't use guns, they have special skills that the human camp can't match.

The three camps have their own advantages and disadvantages, which greatly enrich the playability of the game.

After a trial, Lin Feng is extremely satisfied with the quality of the game "anti terrorist elite online" developed in this year. Once the agent is acting, it will be popular on the Internet.

Seeing that Lin Feng was satisfied, Newell, chief executive of valve, and Mihn Lee, father of CS, also showed a smile on their faces. This time, they chose Lin Feng as the first partner of the newly developed "anti terrorist elite online". In addition to the successful cooperation experience between the two sides, the more important thing is that valve is cooperating with xueleshan, a former company, because the game copyright issue is in litigation, and the relationship between the two companies is extremely deteriorating. As a result, Newell, who originally intended to be the first agent in the North American market, simply set his eyes on other markets.

After their market research, although the European online game market started earlier, the number of games is not large. Football is the first sport there, and football games are also the first games. Although the world's most famous CS team is also in Europe, Newell, chief executive of valve, is not optimistic about the prospect of "anti terrorism elite online" in Europe. At least the short-term return can not meet Newell's current requirements.

Now the lawsuit between valve and xueleshan is stuck. No matter who wins in the end, the two companies can't cooperate again. For valve, which has run out of funds for the development of "anti terrorist elite online" and "halflive2", this first agent must be successful and must be able to bring them huge funds for follow-up research and development.

Europe can't do it. Africa doesn't have to think about it. There are too few people in Oceania. It's not as good as Europe. Newell finally focuses on Asia. At first, Mihn Lee proposed to cooperate with Lin Feng, but Newell thought that the strength of a company selling genuine copies was limited. Although the two sides had a good cooperation before, they could not bring huge funds to valve, so he rejected Lin Feng at the beginning.

However, after a careful investigation, Newell found that the most popular online game market in Asia today is not Rb, not South Korea, but China. The most popular online game company in China, which can be said to be worthy of the hegemony, is "the second world". After further investigation, it was found that the president of "the second world" was actually Lin Feng who was rejected by him before, Newell was dumbfounded on the spot.

Especially when I heard that Lin Feng's "legend" developed by "the second world" made huge profits of tens of millions of dollars every month, Newell was even more stunned and speechless. Halflive, which is highly praised by the market, only brings about 15 million US dollars to valve, while legend, which is developed by Lin Feng, has about the same number every month. Newell was shocked and immediately made up his mind to cooperate with Lin Feng.

Now let Mihn Lee, who has been in touch with Lin Feng before, call Lin Feng, and Lin Feng's trip to the United States will be there.

Both sides are sincere in their attitude towards cooperation and have cooperation experience with each other. Naturally, the negotiation is extremely smooth. Neville asked for $10 million in Chinese mainland agency fees and enjoyed a 30% profit sharing.

Lin Feng is already familiar with such negotiations. Although Newell has developed a series of world-famous masterpieces, in the negotiation, Newell, who was born as a technical R & D personnel, is not as good as Lin Feng. Otherwise, there will not be a game copyright dispute with xueleshan, which he cooperated with before.

After some bargaining, Newell held on to the agency fee of US $8 million, but the profit share was reduced to 20%. It was OK to even give Lin Feng the Asian agency right, but the agency fee of US $8 million in the initial stage could not be less.

It's not that Newell is stupid, but that now valve is in trouble. The lawsuit with xueleshan not only takes a long time and consumes a lot of energy of the company's senior management, but also makes many venture capitalists hesitate, making Newell unable to obtain new financing. Now valve must get at least 8 million US dollars of working capital, otherwise the following series of development plans will be stranded or even terminated. Therefore, Newell did not hesitate to reduce the profit share, and even gave Lin Feng the agency right of the whole Asia, in order to obtain a huge amount of liquidity.

Lin Feng knows that this is Newell's lowest price. It's not Newell's limit, of course. But you can't do anything absolutely. Cooperating with valve is just the beginning. You don't have to make the relationship so stiff for the sake of some benefits. Lin Feng doesn't want to be the second xueleshan and fight with valve in the future.

However, Lin Feng did not agree to Newell's agency contract, because a plan suddenly appeared in his heart.
