In the end, Jun Lin still didn't make this bet with him.
Without even asking what the bet was, this guy just gave in.
Actually, if you think about it, making a bet with your boss is really unthinkable. No matter whether you win or lose, there is no benefit, but it may turn into trouble.
Even if Mr. Hao is not a petty person, Lin Jun feels that there is no need to fight over this issue.
"... If you insist on sharing, I won't advise you much. I will convey your intention to Magic Box Culture. If Bulldog can accept the sharing agreement, I will fly to Yanjing in the next two days. , personally follow up on the negotiation of the cooperation agreement.”
Hearing this, Hao Yun nodded and said happily.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
After finishing the phone call with Mr. Hao, Lin Jun hung up the phone and then called Wu Junxian to inform the management of Magic Box Culture of Mr. Hao's decision.
To be honest, even if I believed Mr. Hao's ability and judgment, Wu Junxian was confused when he received the call.
He couldn't figure out why he should give up the visible 100 million and gamble on the uncertain returns.
Now that someone is willing to take all the risks and give them 100 million for free, why bother to put so much thought into what kind of sharing agreement
Although the overseas game market is full of opportunities, it is not about picking up money with your eyes closed. Taking into account the market exchange rate and the spending power of North American players, basically only phenomenal games can earn 100 million RMB a year.
Taking into account the operating cost deduction and share ratio, if you can't earn 200 million a year, it is definitely not cost-effective to replace the buyout agreement with a share agreement...
While Wu Junxian was still discussing the details of cooperation with Lin Jun on the phone, two men with exotic faces were sitting in a conference room not far from Wu Junxian's office.
The man with brown hair said with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
"Can I ask how long it will take for your boss to arrive? We've been waiting here for a quarter of an hour."
The secretary standing next to the conference table had an embarrassed expression on his face and said in an apologetic tone.
"I'm really sorry. Our boss just received a call from the parent company of the group. He should be communicating with people from the parent company about cooperation. It may take a few minutes."
"What about cooperation? Is it cooperation with us?" The brown-haired man continued to ask.
The secretary said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"This... please ask Mr. Wu in person. I don't know the specific situation."
The man wanted to ask something more, but was stopped by the man sitting next to him.
"Don't be impatient, Wood." He signaled to his companions to be calm. The man who looked about 40 years old looked at the secretary who was entertaining them and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry for coming unexpectedly without an appointment in advance. We can wait a while."
The secretary nodded and said.
"I'm really sorry. What would you like to drink?"
"Just two glasses of water."
After two glasses of water were brought over, the secretary exited the conference room.
The brown-haired man did not touch the water glass, but tilted his head and whispered to the man sitting next to him who was obviously the leader.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly had a bad feeling."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, but had a calm expression on his face. He didn't even ask what his premonition was, and slowly said, "Then I hope your premonition is wrong."
The brown-haired man hesitated for a moment, and finally did not express his premonition, but said it in an uncertain tone.
"Boss, do you think they will agree to distribute this game to us?"
"I can't think of any reason for them to reject us," the man sitting next to him said in a slow voice, "That's 100 million, and 100 million can be exchanged for two years. You don't need to do anything to get this money." In exchange for money, I would also be moved."
This man called the boss, whose name is Karens, is the CEO of Bulldog Company and one of the partners of the company. He is one of the top celebrities in the industry.
Although he has not planned a game himself, he has transported countless Xia Kingdom games to North America. Because of his ruthless vision and keen sense of the market, he is affectionately called the Great Translator by North American players.
Thanks to him, North American players don’t have to deal with thousands of pings while flipping through dictionaries to play Xia Kingdom’s games.
Although you can play games from your own country, they are somewhat less interesting and lack a sense of high-end.
As a North American who has been prospecting for gold in Xia Kingdom all year round, Karens dug up this treasure not long after Clash of Clans was launched.
Unlike Hero Killing and other historical martial arts games, Clash of Clans has no obvious cultural symbols. Even players from different countries and regions can enjoy pure fun without any barriers.
Coupled with the relaxed and casual gameplay, as well as the Q version's painting style and model design, and with his nearly ten years of experience in the industry, this game is popular in Xia Kingdom and will also be popular in North America!
Although the price of 100 million is still a bit painful, Karens has enough confidence in his vision.
With the excellent quality of this game, he can earn back the 100 million agency fee in less than a year!
Just as he was thinking about how to communicate this issue with Mr. Wu of Magic Box Culture later, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room, and the man he had been waiting for for a long time finally walked in.
"Sorry, it took me a while."
"It's okay, I hope my wait is worth it," Karens said with a smile on his face and a serious tone, "Mr. Wu, we have been discussing the agency issue in Clash of Clans for some days. , the agency fee of 100 million should be a reasonable price acceptable to both of us. In this case, I believe you also agree with the saying that time is money. So now that you have also asked the parent company for its opinion, I wonder if we can Have the negotiations advanced to the next stage?”
With an apologetic expression on his face, Wu Junxian said sheepishly.
"I'm really sorry. Our parent company raised objections regarding the cooperation method."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two people sitting across the conference table changed instantly.
The smile on his face disappeared, and Karens said angrily with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"This is different from what we agreed before."
"I know, but as I told you, we are a subsidiary of Yunmeng Group, and Tribal Clash is a project that Mr. Hao is personally following up on. I can't make the decision myself."
"So I'm talking to the wrong person?" Karens laughed angrily, "You mean we should talk to your parent company about this from the beginning?"
"Although I didn't mean it this way, it would indeed be better to do this." Wu Junxian sighed and said with an apologetic voice, "I just learned that our parent company has already There are plans to release an overseas version. This matter is also my fault, as I have not communicated this matter with the parent company before."
Have you already had plans to release an overseas version
This is great news.
After hearing these words, Karens' face became increasingly ugly.
Anyone who sees a duck flying away from their mouth would probably not feel good. At this moment, Karens' mood was not just as simple as a duck flying away from his mouth, it was the painful loss of a gold mine.
He really couldn't understand why Yunmeng Group rejected his conditions.
Is it because you think 100 million is too little
But this is almost the highest standard in the industry. If even this is too little, it will look too ugly.
Looking at Karens who was sitting there without saying a word, with a sullen look on his face, Wu Junxian knew that the time was almost up, so he coughed lightly and proposed a compromise plan.
"Of course, I know that your company has put a lot of effort into distributing this game, and may have even started the approval procedures. So when I called just now, I fought with the parent company."
Seeing the turn of events, Karens' heart jumped twice, but he still managed the expression on his face and spoke calmly.
"So what's the result of your discussion?"
"A compromise plan," Wu Junxian made a helpless expression on his face and continued, "Compared to buying out, our Mr. Hao prefers sharing."
