Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said, "Raúl, did anyone mention this to the American Internet Department?"
Raúl saw that Xiao Yunhai seemed to be very interested in this matter, so he quickly said, "A week ago, Paramount and Disney took the lead, and Hollywood, including Marvel, agreed. But the Internet Department hasn't given an answer yet."
Paramount, Disney, and other film companies had thousands of film and television resources, but they had all sold the Internet rights. If the Internet rights were not included, then it was definitely a win-win situation for them.
But the owners of the video websites were in trouble. Without the copyright, they couldn't even make mobile apps even if they wanted to.
The two sides would definitely fight endlessly because of this, and the American Internet Department would be caught in the middle. Naturally, they couldn't make a quick decision.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Raúl, who do you think will win?"
Raúl said, "It will definitely be the Hollywood film company."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Why?"
Raúl smiled and said, "Because Paramount Pictures is now the property of the Bessie family. Mr. Xiao, now is the critical moment of the American presidential election. After a year of preparation, President Adams was originally confident of victory, but who would have thought that he would be attacked by several other competitors. In front of the public, many of his scandals were exposed, causing his popularity to plummet. His support rate plummeted from more than 50% to 38%, which was only 4% more than the other candidate, Lyle. This was already very dangerous. If it wasn't for the Bessie family's support, it's hard to say what would have happened. "
"The separation of the Internet rights from the original Internet rights was led by Vanessa Bessie, and the head of the Internet Department is one of Adams' people. Under the current circumstances, even if Adams had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to harm the Bessie family's interests. That's why I'm guessing that the Hollywood film company will definitely win. "
Xiao Yunhai came to a realization and nodded, saying: "So that's how it is. Since it's almost a done deal, hurry up and contact those companies. Big film companies like Disney and MGM Grand would definitely do it themselves. You should focus on the small and medium-sized companies. Remember, we only want good films, not bad ones. "
Raúl said, "I understand. What about the price? "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "This is really not easy to decide. What do you think? "
Raúl seemed to have considered this problem a long time ago. Hearing this, he said, "Boss, our gaming platform will take 10% of the profits. It's best that the film platform doesn't take too much. How about 20%?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and immediately made a decision. He said, "Let's make it 10%. If we want to gain an advantage in the competition in the future, we have to use the method of small profits but quick turnover. "
Raúl nodded and said, "Alright. With such a low price, I believe everyone will be interested. "
After Daniel and Raúl left, Xiao Yunhai called Lan Jiancheng, the head of Yunqing Network's software department. Soon, the call went through and Lan Jiancheng's voice came through.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Department Head Lan, where are you? Why do I hear a lot of noise outside? "
Lan Jiancheng said, "I'm at the construction site of our laboratory."
Xiao Yunhai made an 'oh' sound and asked, "To what extent has it been built?"
Lan Jiancheng said, "The progress is very fast. It should be completed in half a year."
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's good. Department Head Lan, I'm calling to ask you if you can do it. I plan to add a paid film website to our Twitter social network app. "
Lan Jiancheng chuckled and said, "That's too easy. I just need to get my colleagues in the software department to develop a player and use the game's web page as a blueprint to change the content and form of the website. With the capabilities of our software department, it can be done in less than two weeks. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's great. I'll get Raúl to contact you as soon as possible. Let's put up our company's film and television work and see how it goes. "
Lan Jiancheng said, "Alright. I'll go back and arrange it immediately. "
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai wanted to know more about Storm Game Company, so he dialed Alan's number and asked him to come over.
After a while, Alan knocked on the door and walked in.
Xiao Yunhai asked him to sit down and said, "Alan, what has Storm Game Company been doing recently?"
Alan said, "Most of them are developing Dungeon Fighter Online. A few of them are doing other casual games."
Xiao Yunhai said, "How far have they gone?"
Alan said, "Dungeon Fighter Online will be in closed beta in a month. Like War of the Kings, it can be played on computers and mobile phones at the same time. As for the card games, mahjong games, racing games, and other small games, they can be completed in two weeks at most. But everyone is asking, can these small games make money? No other companies are interested in them. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "So this is our opportunity. We don't want to earn money from the players directly. Instead, we want to let the players fight against other players and take 5% of their competition fees. "
What was the most popular game in Hua Xia in his previous life? It was neither King's Glory nor Warcraft. It was an ordinary Dou Dizhu. There were simply too many people who played poker when they had nothing to do.
Xiao Yunhai wanted Storm to develop such a game because he wanted to build a battle platform. For example, three people bet at the same time. The winner would get all the bets. Of course, it would be after Xiao Yunhai took a cut.
In this way, Xiao Yunhai could make a lot of money just by taking a cut.
Alan was enlightened and said, "I see. Okay, Mr. Xiao, I understand. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Understood. Then finish it as soon as possible. I think it will be more popular than War of the Kings after it's released. By the way, how's War of the Kings? "
Alan said happily, "Two words, invincible. Ever since War of the Kings came out, no other game, including our World of Warcraft, can compete with it. Players all over the world are playing it. Even many Hollywood stars have formed teams to play it. Some of them are even livestreamed. Last month, our War of the Kings took 68% of the market share, and the profit exceeded 20 billion USD. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Is World of Warcraft done for? "
Alan's expression froze. He smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. World of Warcraft is getting worse and worse, but it can still bring us around 50 million USD a day. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "50 million USD a day is already much better than what I expected. What are the other game companies doing? "
Alan said, "I heard that everyone is aiming for mobile games. Many game apps have appeared on the Internet, but the number of downloads is very average."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked, "Haven't those game companies that contacted us before thought of putting their games on our platform?"
Alan shook his head and said, "So far, none of them have. They seem to be very inclined to make their own game apps. Maybe they don't want to pay us 10% of the profit? "
Xiao Yunhai said with disdain, "Short-sighted. No matter how good your game is, it won't work if it doesn't get publicity. Our Twitter app is the strongest publicity channel on the Internet. Losing 10% of the profit will give us a much higher income than their own app. Alas, I really don't know what these people are thinking. "
Alan hesitated for a moment. He seemed to want to say something, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he closed his mouth.
What kind of expression did Xiao Yunhai have? He smiled and said: "Allen, do you have something you want to say to me? Alright, don't hold it in. Say it. "
Alan said, "Boss, not everyone is like that. A week ago, Xie Mo and Matthew called me. They said that they have a mobile game called Tank Wars that is in internal testing. They estimate that it will be finished in two days. They want to use our game platform. How do you think we should deal with this? "
Xiao Yunhai didn't even have to think before saying: "That goes without saying. Of course we agreed. Alan, the game platform in our Twitter app is for all the game companies in the world, not just for Storm. Not to mention Xie Mo and Matthew, even if it was the Steer Gaming Company, we would still accept it. If you want to be big and strong, you have to be open-minded, understand? "
Alan nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Yunhai said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back."
