"Sony Gas bought the exclusive agency rights to Kaibong's 'Operation Thunder Strike' for 30 million US dollars!"
"Leiya Gas bought the exclusive agency rights to 'Operation Thunder Strike' in Western Europe for 42 million euros!"
"Yinchao Gas for 46 million US dollars..."
When it ca to showing off, Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua couldn't compare to Zhang nglong, but in terms of business negotiations, as long as it wasn't soone as rich as Zhang nglong, whose faucets at ho flowed with oil, they were experts at ruthlessly devouring their competitors.
Their current position was clear—they were the ones seeking to secure the ga's agency rights, not Tengxun Gas and Wangyi Gas begging them to represent it! If they weren't interested, there were other companies lined up, waiting for the chance.
Once they lost this ga, it would be like losing the market's stickiness. The activity of their other gas would also imdiately start to decline—a risk they couldn't afford to take.
rely from selling licensing rights, they had amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flow, completely replenishing their recent losses in an instant.
And that was just the agency fee. Future in-ga item sales and peripheral revenues would continue to flow into Huaxia in an unending stream of dollars and euros.
Furthermore, through negotiations, they had overturned many previously unfavorable agreents and even successfully secured much greater profit margins.
...
"These idiots, paying so much money for a ga's agency rights, are really stupid," Michel muttered after a period of recovery. His hands had almost healed, though they still bore many noticeable scars.
"Boss, those companies either don't primarily focus on huge online gas or have subpar developnt capabilities. Relying on others' gas is always a last resort," Michel's assistant comnted.
"Exactly," Michel confidently declared, "Even if we fail with this ga, we still have many more self-developed gas. 'World of Warcraft' will always be our unstoppable brand!"
"How are things going lately?" Michel inquired, "I've split up the entire 'Overwatch Battlefield' developnt team and invested millions of dollars in ga developnt. If we don't see results, the director of R&D and the director of operations are up for replacent!"
"Don't worry, boss, the situation is quite good," the assistant reported, "We've increased our R&D team by half. The latest map update added three new maps and a new ga mode. During this period, our ga's online user count has surged 30% beyond our previous peak, and our revenue in the latter half of this month is nearly double that of the first half!"
"Also, because of the excellent recent gaming data, the three operators who were hesitant about representing our ga contacted us these few days. Moreover, they have offered an agency fee that is 10% higher than before and also agreed to our commission rates."
"Hahaha, excellent, that's how it should be!" Michel laughed in satisfaction, "Shooting gas are just a piece of the cake. If they want a piece, let them have it. We'll just stay out and continue our developnt. Since the market allows for all our gas to perform well, we just need to excel in one."
"We'll give them the agency rights, but the agency fees need to be increased by 20% over the previous rate!" Michel declared, "If they're unwilling, let's find soone else. There are plenty of others eager to represent our gas."
"Yes, boss!"
Michel contentedly sipped his tea, then began browsing on his computer.
"What is this ga?" Suddenly, he noticed a new icon appeared on the Cashew Company market—its download count was zero, yet it was ranked first on the recomndation list.
Ususally, this ant either the ga's developer was highly famous with a proven track record of high revenues, prompting the Cashew Company to offer them this prominent spot.
Or, the company splurged a fortune to secure this top spot.
Even so, in this battlefield-like app market, not everyone could simply pay their way to the top.
Michel curiously opened the ga.
Developer: Tengxun Gas, Wangyi Gas
"Them again?" Michel felt an inexplicable panic inside, as if sothing were stuck in his throat.
"Multiplayer online role-playing ga?" Seeing the ga category, Michel's expression grew even more uneasy. Their 'World of Warcraft' was also a multiplayer online role-playing ga.
"It can't be, how could such a ga as a mobile ga achieve anything? With such a small screen, it simply can't render the effects of a PC ga!"
He continued reading the introduction.
"VR gas, 'Operation Thunder Strike' developed by the original team!"
At that mont, Michel was stunned.
"Boss, sothing has gone wrong!"
Just then, an assistant rushed in frantically.
"What happened?"
"Boss, our official forum has been hacked!"
"What?" Michel stood up abruptly.
"What's the matter? Explain it to
carefully!"
"At exactly 8 p.m. tonight, our official forum suddenly experienced a surge of traffic from every country in the world, which was endorsing a ga called 'King of Gods'."
Michel imdiately opened the ga forum. Because 'World of Warcraft' had undergone a revision during this period, many veteran players had returned, and the average number of online users had reached its historical peak, thus the forum's activity was also very high.
Magical Girl Michel: In this era, people still play 'World of Warcraft,' such an ancient ga that hasn't been phased out yet?
Abyss Michel: Everyone, take a look at 'King of Gods,' a ga with a brand-new engine, exquisite graphics, and a ga map more than ten tis larger than 'World of Warcraft.' Ordinary phones and computers can handle it.
Michel the Hermaphrodite: Download the ga now and you'll have a chance to receive a special item "Michel's Mother's Sigh," and a luxury yacht is waiting for you!
...
"Zhang nglong! It's you again, Zhang nglong!" Michel clenched his teeth in anger, he didn't even need to guess who had hired these troll accounts.
But these IPs ca from all over the world; he simply couldn't accuse Zhang nglong of anything.
Initially, the players were dismissive of it, thinking if a ga is well-made, then surely people will envy it, and after running for so long, the real veteran players, who are sentintal, wouldn't just switch because of a few words to this so-called 'King of Gods' over 'World of Warcraft.'
However, this ga had hundreds of millions of players, and in 2014 alone, it was recorded that the number of characters exceeded 500 million!
Among these hundreds of millions of players, many downloaded 'King of Gods' out of curiosity, most of whom had previously downloaded 'Operation Thunder Strike' and purchased VR equipnt.
Regardless of whether the ga was enjoyable or not, they couldn't let their specialized equipnt go to waste!
After trying it, they were stunned to discover that the ga far exceeded their expectations; its quality was truly on par with 'Operation Thunder Strike' in the genre of survival gas.
In comparison, 'World of Warcraft,' beyond the so-called nostalgia, was truly annihilated!
"I tried it, and this new ga is really good, everyone should give it a try!"
"My God, this VR level is so real, I feel like I'm fighting in a brand-new world!"
...
Within just a few days, 'King of Gods' downloads surged from zero, even surpassing the initial downloads of 'Operation Thunder Strike'!
"Player activity decreased by 34%, revenue fell by 47.5%."
"Boss, those agents have already refused to cooperate with us, and I heard they've headed to Huaxia overnight."
"Boss, this quarter, although we're still investing more in 'World of Warcraft,' we've been hit by 'King of Gods' and our active user numbers keep dropping. Should we continue developnt?"
Michel stared blankly at the screen, he was utterly devastated!
