"Haha, looks like everyone is on the same page."
Chen Yu smiled.
Who didn't know that games made money?
Others who dealt with websites wanted to deal with online games.
Software developers wanted to create online games.
Computers developers wanted to create online games.
As a gaming portal, how could 5173 not think about creating games?
"Alright, let's discuss how we should create online games."
Although it was the first time they were talking about games, Zhang Jianming said, "Based on the company's current situation, it would be difficult to develop a game by ourselves. It would take a long time. I think we can be the agent for a game."
"Li Nan, what do you think?"
"I agree with Boss Zhang."
Although Li Nan wasn't a game developer, he knew a little about online gaming technology. "Developing a game is a complicated project. It would take us at least two years to develop and release it. The market is so popular now. If we wait two years before releasing it, the market will be taken over by the other game companies. We can be the agent for a game first. However, we can't be the agent forever. The decision will always be made by the game developer. We also have to deduct the agent's costs during operation. Some game developers have very strict conditions … "
"That's very thoughtful."
Chen Yu nodded.
Although the major video game companies hadn't gotten into any major lawsuits with the video game developers, there were still conflicts between them from time to time. Previously, the agent for Millennium and the game developers had some disagreements. Now, both parties had yet to reconcile. This caused the number of people online to drop.
It was said that Legend of Mir's Korean development company wanted to increase their share of the profits.
However, Chen Tianqiao refused.
Although Chen Tianqiao refused, the Korean development company refused to provide technical support. This caused many conflicts between both parties.
On the other hand, NetEase's Journey to the West was developed and operated by itself.
They didn't have to care about other people's opinions and didn't have to give them a share of the profits. They could operate according to their wishes.
"Yes, based on the company's current conditions, I agree to be the agent for a game first."
Chen Yu only had half a year. It was impossible to develop a game in half a year.
Even if he were to buy someone else's game engine, half a year would be extremely difficult. More importantly, Chen Yu still couldn't find any game developers. One had to know that anyone in the country who knew a little about game development was a treasure. It was really difficult to get a team like that.
"Okay, give Wang Chang a call and tell him to go to Korea."
At the moment, there weren't many game developers in the country, and there were even fewer teams that had developed games.
Previously, [The World] was one of them, but NetEase acquired it.
Jinshan's development ability is very strong, but they will definitely keep it for their own use and will not let you act as their agent.
Sohu now has a gaming team, and it is said that they are secretly developing it.
Therefore, if he wanted to find a good game, he had to go to Korea.
This was also the reason why so many domestic game companies wanted to represent Korean games in his previous life.
It wasn't that they really liked Korean games. The most important reason was that there weren't many games in the country.
Of course, one of the important reasons why Legend and Miracle MU, which was the agent of Korea, was so popular in China.
…
"Wang Chang, have we arrived?"
"Boss Chen, we have arrived. We are on our way to the hotel. We are gathering some information."
"Ok. Don't be too stressed. If we can get it, we will take it. If we can't, we will change to another company."
"Okay. But Boss Chen, I heard some news from Korea. It seems that a few domestic companies had contacted Actoz."
"It's okay. This is normal. Legend of Mir is the most popular game in China, and Legend of Mir is developed by Actoz. Many companies want to act as their agent for ."
"If that's the case, it will be difficult for us to get it."
"We can increase the agent fees."
Over the phone, Chen Yu instructed Wang Chang, "Previously, I received news that Actoz has offered an agent fee of 13 million yuan and wants a 30% share of the profits. We can give them 20 million yuan."
"20 million RMB? Boss Chen, the company doesn't have so much cash."
"Don't worry. I will settle it."
Although the company doesn't have 20 million RMB, they still have 10 million RMB from Metro.
In addition, the final payment for the promotion of Jinshan has not been settled.
In addition, although Shenzhou has a binding agreement and there is no promotion fee, they can borrow some money from them when necessary.
After being in the business of web portals for some time, they have some reputation in the industry. They can still come up with the money.
Actually, the company is so big. They can get a loan from the bank.
However, bank loans usually require physical collateral. An internet company like 5173 does not have any hard assets.
For such a loan, the bank will reject it directly.
If they want to get a loan, they can only get a credit loan. However, the credit limit is too low.
This is also why the domestic giants can only accept venture capital in the early stages. They did not get a loan from the bank.
It's not that they don't want to get a loan. It's that they can't get one.
Of course, venture capital is not guaranteed. There are risks. With investment comes risk.
If the company you invest in goes public, you will make money.
However, if the company you invest in goes bankrupt, you will lose a lot of money.
"However, although we can increase the agent fees, we have to reduce the profit as much as possible."
The agent fees are a one-time deal. No matter how high it is, Chen Yu is willing to pay.
However, if the profit is made by the game, he has to give the game development company a share.
The more profitable the game is, the more profit he has to give.
This kind of thing, anyone would feel the pinch.
"Understood."
Wang Chang nodded.
Three days later, Wang Chang went to Actoz with Yang Lan after collecting the latest news in Korea.
Speaking of which, Actoz is not considered one of the more impressive game development companies in Korea.
Legend of Mir is ranked very low in Korea. Even if they were to act as agents in other countries, they would still end up shutting down. However, after Legend of Mir came to China, it had a second chance. Until now, according to the news from Shengda, Legend of Mir of Mir has exceeded 500,000 concurrent users. It is the number one game in the world.
This made Actoz famous all of a sudden. There is an endless stream of companies coming to Actoz to talk about acting as agents.
"Sister Yang, I think I saw a few domestic companies."
"This trip is not easy to talk about."
"Okay."
Wang Chang and Yang Lan nodded. They were prepared for the worst.
However, the reality was beyond Wang Chang's expectations. They thought that the negotiation this time would be unusually difficult. However, after Wang Chang met with Actoz's management, Actoz was very interested. The conditions were very relaxed. They also expressed that if the negotiation was good, they could sign an agreement with Huanyu Technologies within three days.
Chen Yu did not understand. He did not know what Actoz is trying to do.
