475 Chapter 474 You Don't Want to Be Sued for Monopoly

Blizzard really doesn't want to authorize this kind of technology to Apocalypse Games. It doesn't matter if it is authorized to other companies. It is not a big threat. But unlike Apocalypse Games, the two major end games of the fairyland civilization and the disordered world are developing very rapidly.

Celestial Civilization is now the most influential game in Southeast Asia, while Disorder World is siege the European and American markets, seriously threatening Blizzard’s World of Warcraft market share.

After discussing for a long time, there was no result. Finally, I decided to take a look at the player's acceptance of the effect.

In one day, both Disorder World and Immortal World Civilization have completed server upgrades and maintenance, and they have begun to serve as peripheral devices. On the Internet, the sales of headsets and microphones are booming.

In just three days, Amazon announced that Tianqi Games had received more than 400,000 orders on the company's website.

Immediately after that, Dongdong.com announced that Tianqi Games had received more than 600,000 orders on the company's website, and sales are still increasing.

Seeing this data, many game companies are becoming nervous, especially Japanese game companies, which are even bigger. Blizzard has already taken a part of the market share, and now the Chinese companies are also coming to grab a strong grab.

This day is overwhelming. The only way is to obtain a patent license for the voice control system, and my company will also change.

After waiting for another few days, the game company really couldn't sit still, and started to take action, sending personnel to the Tianchao to negotiate with Tianqi Game Company about patent licensing.

Amazon's headquarters in the United States released a data that the sales of this voice-activated device in the United States have reached 600,000. This data makes Blizzard unable to sit still.

After some discussions, Vice President Delafort set off for the Tian Dynasty and began to discuss the voice control patent with Tianqi Game Company, and he had made plans to exchange patents.

Two hundred euros were exchanged for Celestial coins, but it was about 18, such a high price could not stop the enthusiasm of players, Dongdong.com also announced a summer vacation, domestic sales exceeded one million, this data is really bright. The eyes of domestic game makers.

Buying a device will give you a monthly card. The monthly card of Apocalypse Games is only sold once at the beginning, and it has not been sold afterwards, only as a means of promotion.

Although the card charge is usually a little lower than that of World of Warcraft, it is not a small fee. This time the promotion of the trump card is launched without exception, which directly mobilizes the enthusiasm of the players.

Xu Pingan was satisfied. He picked up the teapot and filled Ye Changlin's cup. Ye Changlin just came to report that the number of registered players has increased by 100%, exceeding the planned goal.

"When will the fairyland civilization theme park be completed?" Xu Pingan asked.

"Mr. Xu, I have understood that it will not be completed until August next year. Very often, scene technology and equipment need to be customized, so a lot of time was lost," Ye Changlin explained.

Xu Pingan nodded and said, "Changlin, run the company's current games well, and at the same time, don't forget to develop new games. Serious, professional, and sincere are the foundation of the game company."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, I will keep this sentence in mind. Our game company has begun to establish a project to develop a large-scale online game based on the current Three Kingdoms real-time battle game."

"At present, the various hardware of computers have been upgraded by leaps and bounds. We can also carry out this large-scale historical online game that integrates strategy, military hegemony, and exploration."

"You can develop into a party of princes to participate in the world hegemony, you can also explore in the game, and you can be called up as a hero, multiple systems coexist and run,..." Ye Changlin talked a lot.

"How is the negotiation with Blizzard going" Xu Pingan asked.

"The other party is still hesitating, thinking that it is a great loss to exchange patents with us. They don't look at the current situation. Players will feel very aggrieved if they don't shout out when playing online games."

"According to the information we collected in several Internet cafes, many players played games that couldn't be shouted for a while and then launched directly to log in to our fairyland civilization"

"This is the general trend. If they don't make changes, the market will shrink more and more happy," Ye Changlin said very seriously.

"Next time you negotiate with them, ask them if they plan to be acquired. I will give them full rights to develop games and acquire them wholly," Xu Pingan said directly, coveting Blizzard for a long time, but there has been no chance. .

"I'll give it a try. I guess they won't agree. Although profits have fallen a lot now, they are still profitable," Ye Changlin said directly.

"Just try and be optimistic, you can issue a formal acquisition invitation" Xu Pingan said directly looking at Ye Changlin.

"I will have a good talk with Blizzard Vice President Delafort, who is here this time, and let him faithfully send the information back to the headquarters. This is also a lot of pressure on Blizzard."

"After all, our Apocalypse Capital is notoriously strong. Their president can resist it, but other shareholders may not be able to resist it. Even if they cannot acquire this time, they must increase their internal chaos to prepare for the next acquisition. "Ye Changlin is extremely serious.

"Very well, just do this. I can rest assured if you think so."

"You and Jacques are in a competitive relationship. If you deduct the impact of currency added value, your results are ahead of Jacques. At present, Jacques's focus is on the promotion of a disordered world."

"It's not as good as you in the future development of the company. Come on, in a few years, I will completely integrate the two game companies into the Tianqi Games Group. I hope you can take the position of group president," Xu Pingan said while looking at Ye Changlin.

Ye Changlin was excited, "Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, I am not ashamed."

"Very well, but you have to remember, keep a normal heart, don't rush for quick success, I value the steady development of an enterprise" Xu Pingan instructed Ye Changlin, and Ye Changlin nodded seriously.

The two chatted for a while and Ye Changlin left. Xu Ping'an went back to the desk, put on headphones, and started playing games. With the voice control system, the upgrade became a lot faster. , Very enjoyable.

The next day, when Ye Changlin was negotiating with Blizzard, he put forward a proposal for the acquisition of Blizzard, which made Blizzard's people feel bored. From the conditions of Ye Changlin, Ye Changlin was not joking.

The negotiation was terminated, and the news was sent back to Blizzard headquarters. The president directly refused to be acquired. According to regulations, once a joint-stock company received an offer to acquire, a board of directors must be held and the board of directors must make a decision.

This meeting was very intense. Shareholders were very dissatisfied with the current earnings. Some agreed and some opposed, which made President Haggs exhausted.

It's a good idea to say that it is through the proposal to reject the acquisition and promise to improve this year's performance. After the meeting, I immediately called Delafort and agreed to the request of Apocalypse Games to exchange patents and ended the meeting as soon as possible.

It must come to an end, and it will be delayed until the end of the year when the major game company reports are disclosed. The vampires on the board of directors will definitely not give up. They will definitely think of other tricks and must reduce the probability of this happening.

One day later, the two sides negotiated very smoothly again. The long list of patents proposed by Tianqi Game Company was passed, which made Ye Changlin a little confused.

However, it is also a good thing to pass. The two parties directly signed a legal contract with the place of signing in Hangzhou. After a breach of contract occurs in the future, it will also be heard in Hangzhou court.

Many documents need to be faxed to Blizzard headquarters for signature and seal, and then faxed back. After almost a day of work, all the procedures are completed.

The next step is simple, starting to exchange patents, all kinds of data began to pass each other, Ye Changlin found Mi Jian, immediately used it, optimized the client, and further improved the fluency of the game.

Time passed slowly, only ten days. Apocalypse Games’ games were all out of service for eight hours and undergo a comprehensive upgrade and maintenance. After the upgrade, the client terminal will shrink by 20%, and the game fluency will be greatly improved. The promotion.

Blizzard’s speed is not too slow. After only five more days, it directly announced that the World of Warcraft game will be suspended for twelve hours worldwide for upgrade and maintenance. After the upgrade, the voice control system of the Apocalypse Game Company supports World of Warcraft, and it can also be used in Warcraft time. use.

As a result, the three most influential PC games in the world have unified the gameplay. In the future, there will be no voice-activated gameplay on PC games, and there will be no market 100%.

Tianchao, Japan's game manufacturers are collectively painful. It is not that Tianqi Group did not discuss patent licensing matters, but the cost is so low that these companies are reluctant to pay.

Annual fee, no matter how your game is sold, the annual fee is 50 million euros. If you agree, you will be authorized. If you don't, you will consider it slowly.

The contract also stipulates that it is only for one game and not for the game company. In other words, each game of your entire game company must be authorized and cannot be used uniformly.

To be honest, this contract is a big blow to many game production studios, but now the general trend is that voice-activated games dominate the world, you can only be eliminated without this financial strength.

Many manufacturers are not reconciled. They have submitted letters requesting the government to participate in this matter, asking Tianqi Games to reduce patent fees. The reason is simple, we want to survive.

The bigwigs from all over the world are also big heads for a while, which involves the jobs of many people, and I don't want to see the game industry being completely monopolized by the companies of the United States and the Chinese dynasty, and start to move.

It was not long before Zhang Jianbin came to Xu Ping’an’s office and had tea with Xu Ping’an. Both of them knew what was going on. Let’s talk slowly.

"50 million is indeed a bit high, I hope you can lower it a bit, you don't want to be sued for a monopoly," Zhang Jianbin said while looking at Xu Ping An.
