Chapter 450: Chapter 267 Provocation and Counterattack (Part 1)_2
Watching his trusted aide, Landick asked the other people to leave the eting room and then seriously inquired, “Tell honestly, how impressive is this thing?”
“Why don’t you try it out yourself?” his trusted aide asked in confusion.
“I don’t want to waste my precious ti on gas,” Landick said. “You know, for , the developnt of the company is more important. I must focus on higher endeavors, not on gas.”
“…It’s very impressive. It’s a revolution in the gaming industry. I estimate that in less than three to five years, we will all be done for.”
“I see…”
...
After pondering for a while, Landick confidently told his trusted aide, “I have two plans…”
When Landick’s plans were sent to the representative in Prussia, the representative was dumbfounded when he saw the proposed Plan A and Plan B.
It’s been almost ten days, and this is all you give !
A feeling of despair perated the representative’s heart, making him realize it was better to switch jobs as soon as possible.
However, before moving to another job, he still maintained his professional ethics and found Fang Cheng Studio, which had finished packing and was ready to start their trip to North Arica.
In the hotel room, he t Fang Cheng, Xu Qingling, and Gao Tianyun.
What surprised him was that both individuals were young, but who would have imagined that the gentlemanly young man was a gaming genius, and the other was a console genius.
Compared with the young people of his own ti, who are still imrsed in LGBT parades and various leaves, the representative felt a strong sense of helplessness.
He sighed and said in a hoarse voice while holding the water glass in front of him, “It’s a pleasure to et you both, I am a representative from Druid Entertainnt. I have co to discuss a business deal with you.”
“Is it to buy more consoles?” Gao Tianyun asked excitedly, “How many do you want this ti? If it’s over a hundred units, I can offer you a discount.”
“No, I can’t afford it. What I an is, we want to buy you out.”
Fang Cheng and Gao Tianyun exchanged glances, feeling incredulous.
Even Fang Cheng couldn’t understand why the representative had suddenly made such a move.
After reflecting for a mont, Fang Cheng asked, “So, what’s your offer for the acquisition?”
“1.3 billion…”
“US Dollars?”
“Renminbi… of which 600 million will be paid with Druid Entertainnt stocks of equivalent value…”
Xu Qingling sighed, feeling that this affair was far too childish.
The representative had already heard Xu Qingling’s sigh but continued to say, “This includes all the patents for the gaming pods and all the ga copyrights of Fang Cheng Studio.”
Xu Qingling turned her head and said to Fang Cheng, “Boss, let’s go. I don’t think there’s any point in talking.”
“Just a mont,” the representative raised both hands, giving a formal Gaulish military salute, “I personally really didn’t want to proceed to this step, but the higher-ups in my company instructed to pass along a ssage. If you don’t agree to the acquisition, then we will have to take necessary asures.”
Fang Cheng looked at him, suddenly felt inspired, and started calculating with his fingers.
After calculating, he frowned.
Is that all?
Shaking his head gently, he said to the representative, “It doesn’t matter. Please, as you were.”
At that mont, the representative suddenly felt a chill.
He felt as if all his thoughts had been seen through, all plans had nowhere to hide, and all his secrets seed to be laid bare, instilling in him a profound sense of panic from losing his privacy.
What scared him even more was the confidence shown by Fang Cheng.
To Fang Cheng, the coming onslaught seed inconsequential, as if the whole affair were not worth ntioning.
Frightened, he stood up and stamred, “Mr. Fang, this was not my intention, I personally really like your gas, I…”
“I said, it doesn’t matter. Xu Qingling, Gao Tianyun, let’s go. It’s ti to return ho.”
Watching the three leave, the representative wanted to explain further, but he couldn’t find the words to speak.
He sat down dejectedly, thinking Landick was really to bla.
Why did you have to provoke them!
anwhile, Fang Cheng decided to end the team-building trip early and took his employees back ho ahead of schedule.
As soon as Fang Cheng got off the plane, he received a call from Mr. Shen.
On the phone, Mr. Shen asked in confusion, “Fang Cheng, what exactly did you guys do overseas?”
“Nothing much, just the usual participation in a ga expo.”
“Then why has North Arica delisted all your gas?”
“They probably couldn’t afford to play anymore, I guess.”
“…How can you be so nonchalant about it?”
Mr. Shen sighed, feeling that Fang Cheng hadn’t grasped the severity of the situation.
Fiddling with his hair subconsciously, he said to Fang Cheng, “Fang Cheng, you might not realize it, but the North Arican ga market is huge. You plan to venture into virtual reality, and the costs for that aren’t low; you need globalization to break even. Losing the North Arican market is a big loss. I suggest you seriously investigate this issue.”
“The costs are not high at all, I can assure you of that. And I never cared about the North Arican market, so it doesn’t matter.”
“Really not high?”
“Rest assured, it’s not a problem for at all.”
“Alright, I believe you. But if there’s any problem, make sure to contact in ti. I might not have much else, but I do have so connections.”
“Thank you, I will.”
After hanging up, Fang Cheng found another call coming in.
Upon answering, Fang Cheng heard his father’s voice, “Fang Cheng, have you been sanctioned?”
“…What do you an?”
“I heard your gas have all been delisted in North Arica. You didn’t create a ga you shouldn’t have, did you?”
Fang Cheng looked at his phone, finding the news spread quite rapidly.
He hadn’t expected even his own father to know about it.
He thought his father had called to comfort him, but Mr. Fang then excitedly said, “Now you have a reason to act, right? I’m not asking for much—just shrink the North Arican gang’s territory by 99%, that’s all!”
“…This kind of thing would happen even if I didn’t lift a finger. And as I’ve said before, I prefer to solve problems with gentler thods.”
“That’s good, just do your best. This matter really makes proud.”
After hanging up, Fang Cheng felt there was sothing off with his father’s focus.
Why do you seem happy about being sanctioned?
Afterward, acquaintances started calling one after another to inquire about the situation and promised to help.
Tang Mo, Chen Rang, Wang, Coach Lin, Hoffman, and even the new CEO of Tianyi all made calls to inquire about the state of affairs and assured their support.
Having finally explained the situation, Fang Cheng realized that he had, unknowingly, made quite a few acquaintances.
Opening the webpage of Ga Inn, he found forum discussions buzzing about the incident.
North Arican players were the first to discover that “Heavenly Demon” had been taken down, followed by all Fang Cheng Studio’s gas disappearing from the Steam platform in North Arica with the reason being “due to policy reasons, this studio’s gas will not be displayed.”
Even those who had previously downloaded the gas couldn’t play normally, leaving many overseas players asking what exactly happened and what these “policy reasons” were, sadly without any response.
Latter, a North Arican player leaked that soone had lobbied the North Arican ga review board. The ga “New World” was banned for promoting red ideology, and subsequently, all of Fang Cheng Studio’s gas were taken down.
The ban was so strict that even if players switched regions, as long as it was in North Arica, they would not be able to see any of them.
Players had no choice but to look for pirated versions, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find any.
Although he sympathized with the plight of North Arican players, dostic players were more concerned.
With the loss of the large North Arican market, Fang Cheng Studio’s ga sales were bound to be discounted, and the entire studio’s revenue would also drop significantly.
But Fang Cheng was indifferent.
Gas were his tools for proving his path, money didn’t matter, and he never had plans for going overseas in the first place.
However, he wasn’t going to let the other party off.
Turning to Huang Ping, he asked, “What’s the most important ga IP for Druid Entertainnt?”
“The ‘Dark Dungeon’ series,” Huang Ping quickly responded. “They’ve already released the fourth installnt.”
Then, as if realizing sothing, he excitedly asked, “Boss, are we possibly…”
“Yes, our next ga will be a competitor to that one.”
