Chapter 154 The blue bird crows and the payment is made!
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
On February 24, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and a certain company jointly issued a statement.
"Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. has won the global exclusive game adaptation rights of a certain online original animation brand "My name is MT" for a price of 3 million. The agreement also includes the animation image, music, sound effects, etc. of "My name is MT"
.”
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the entire Internet.
The price of three million has also surpassed all previous domestic online original novels and animation game adaptation rights in one fell swoop. "My name is MT" has become the "lead brother" with the highest "transfer" value among online original brands in the past 10 years.
Before that.
Mr. Jin Yong’s 15 martial arts novels, the price of a single game adaptation right is about 2.5 million.
Cao Yanhua, the general manager of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, said in an exclusive interview with 71 Assistant: " Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will develop different game types around the brand "My name is MT" and use the same theme, art library, and sound effects. In the future, we will present
It has launched RPG, fighting, tower defense, board games, SNS, web games and many other games with completely different gameplay. It is expected that by the end of 2011, the first new type of mobile game will be launched."
As the No. 1 player in the field of domestic mobile games, I don’t know how much attention it attracted as soon as this statement came out.
"Nima, don't ruin my MT!!!" The original author was incompetent and furious.
"Are you overthinking it upstairs? Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is a leader in the domestic mobile game industry. Which of its games is not a classic among classics? I'm really looking forward to it."
"That's right, that's right!"
"Knock on the blackboard: Didn't Mr. Cao say that the new game to be released by the end of the year will be a completely new genre."
“I’m looking forward to it just thinking about it.”
"Compared to Tenda's copycat approach, Jade Bird is really the conscience of the industry and has been innovating."
“You can always trust the bluebird!!!”
It can be seen that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s reputation among players has almost become a golden brand.
It is not difficult to understand.
It has only been ten days since the release of "Temple Run", and the number of downloads has already exceeded the 24 million mark.
That’s outrageous!
On the Android and IOS free game rankings, "Big Watermelon", "Xiaxiaole", "Candy Crush Saga" and "Temple Run" owned by Bluebird Interactive Entertainment are all among the top ten.
It’s even more off the mark!
According to the estimated recharge flow rate, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s net profit in February is expected to exceed the 200 million mark.
Chaga!!!
…………
Tenda Building.
"Boss, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's ambitions in the gaming field are getting bigger and bigger. It's not satisfied with original creations, and now it's starting to acquire IP copyrights." Cao Xi, head of Tenda's gaming department, was very anxious.
"Ambition must also match strength."
Renyu was quite calm, "I can't think of any kind of mobile game that could be adapted into a mobile game like "My Name is MT", which is a wild anime."
"That's not necessarily true. MT's return to the wild can't withstand the popularity on the Internet, and netizens also buy into it. If it's done well, it may not be a hit." Cao Xi's understanding is more acute.
"Then why didn't you make an acquisition proposal before?" Renyu asked.
In Tengda's eyes, a mere three million dollars is not money at all.
"Well……"
Cao Xi suddenly got stuck.
"How's the new game going?"
Rengyu actually had no intention of pursuing the case, after all, the family was big and the business was big.
"The project has been approved. We are planning to create a subway surfer-type game. It will definitely be exciting." When the new game was mentioned, Cao Xi became energetic again.
"Keep an eye on it!"
Why doesn't Renyu not pay attention to it? This is a turnaround for Tenda in the field of mobile games.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem this time. There will be no thorns in Qingqingniao Interactive Entertainment." Of course, Cao Xi understands Rengyu's concerns and is afraid of causing another intellectual property dispute.
In addition to similar gameplay, the two games can be said to be completely different.
"That's good!"
Renyu still has great trust in Cao Xi's ability and knowledge.
…………
8:30 in the morning.
Zhang Shuo appeared downstairs in the Germination Building on time. Instead of going directly to the office, he went to the internal canteen on the 10th floor to prepare for breakfast.
Although Chen Lu can also prepare breakfast, Zhang Shuo still doesn't want to do anything special.
The in-house canteen is quite good.
The canteen was just opened three days ago. It was not managed by the property management company, but was "outsourced" to the newly established catering department of Qingcheng Retail for operation.
All employees of the Germination Department are subject to the same standard of 500 monthly meal supplements.
Zhang Shuo is no exception.
When he arrived at the canteen, he didn't do anything special, but just lined up like all the employees.
The temperament and connotation of a company are often closely related to the temperament of the founder. Zhang Shuo leads by example and does not engage in specialness or extravagance, so the people below him will be more restrained.
on the contrary.
If Zhang Shuo himself has a serious idea of privilege and wants to show off his so-called status at every turn, skipping queues and having exclusive seats, then the executives below will definitely follow his example.
Even worse.
And this often means the beginning of rot within the enterprise, which will become more and more rigid and slow.
Until it was abandoned by the tide of the times.
Just like the Fox Group in the original time and space, it was so glorious when it was at its peak. However, according to insiders, only a deputy general manager of the Fox Group could smoke a cigar arrogantly in the office.
The founder is also not doing his job properly and spends all day either hiking or running.
If times don’t eliminate companies like this, what will they eliminate?
Although Zhang Shuo does not intend to cultivate the sprout into a century-old famous company, he does not want to be eliminated by the times while he is still able to fight in his lifetime.
After all, the future he can predict only ends in 2021.
It seems long.
In fact, it is only a short period of ten years.
Who can predict what kind of trends will emerge in the next decade, and the decade after that?
At least Zhang Shuo didn't want to miss it.
Tengda, which has reaped the dividends of two entire tumultuous periods, will also see a sharp shrinkage in profits at the end of 2021?
If he wants to go further, Zhang Shuo cannot dwell on his existing achievements. He must always maintain his passion and original intention when starting a business, and constantly inject new vitality into his business.
Of course, you also need to have a sense of awe.
As soon as Zhang Shuo sat down with breakfast, Cao Yanhua came over.
This seems to have become a tacit understanding.
As long as Zhang Shuo dines in the cafeteria, no matter whether it is morning, lunch or dinner, other senior executives will basically sit with Zhang Shuo if they happen to be in the cafeteria, making it easy to chat while eating.
The conversation atmosphere is also more relaxed than in the office.
"Mr. Cao, your speech yesterday had a great response." Zhang Shuo smiled and pointed at the TV.
In view of the mistake in the elevator TV advertisement, Sprout Real Estate also learned from the experience, or it can be said that the canteen installed a multimedia TV, mainly broadcasting news related to Sprout.
Anyone who "appears on TV" can attract the envy of others.
"This is all due to the good reputation of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment."
Cao Yanhua did not dare to take credit, he even felt a little ashamed.
If it weren't for Zhang Shuo's instructions, he, the general manager of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, would not even have thought of acquiring copyrights to expand Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's arsenal.
"Mr. Zhang, we have also been in contact with Mr. Jin Yong. The preliminary intention is that if we want to win the mobile game adaptation rights for all fifteen martial arts novels, we need to prepare at least 10 million."
Cao Yanhua took the opportunity to report on another copyright acquisition.
"Ten million, just ten million!"
Zhang Shuo can still accept it.
Spending more money is better than being accused of infringement and having to pay more compensation in the future.
"Okay, then I will continue to talk to the other party and try to push the price down further." Cao Yanhua is a bit dissatisfied with the price. After all, it is just an adaptation of a mobile game, and it is not exclusive.
While the two were chatting, Jiang Yue, Zhao Mingchuan and other senior executives also appeared in the cafeteria one after another.
The senior executives gathered around Zhang Shuo, as if they were having a morning meeting, and many major issues related to the budding were often finalized at the dinner table amid a flurry of chatter.
Just like that.
Although Sprout will enter the manufacturing industry in the future, Zhang Shuo still hopes that Sprout's work efficiency and work style can be in line with Internet companies, efficient and fast.
Don't do everything slowly and slowly.
How can you react like that?
"Mr. Zhang, I have good news. The third-party payment license applied for by the payment center has been approved." Zhao Mingchuan was very proud.
"oh."
Zhang Shuo calmly peeled the eggs.
His daily breakfast is very simple, a rice roll, an egg, and a cup of soy milk, and that's basically it.
After the second uncle opened his mouth, this was all expected.
"???"
Seeing his boss so calm, Zhao Mingchuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Yue snickered when she saw this, and even gave Zhang Shuo a meaningful look. Apparently she also realized that Zhang Shuo might have used the connections behind him to quietly push this matter.
Otherwise, Zhao Mingchuan alone would not be able to do anything.
…………
come back to the office.
Zhang Shuo is used to opening major news websites and browsing them quickly.
"Ali announced that it will spend 100 million to acquire a controlling stake in MiLiao Technology and will increase the research and development of MiLiao."
“Tengda announced that the number of WeChat users exceeded 30 million in just 12 days after it was launched!”
Okay!
As soon as I got to work, I received "good news" from two major competitors.
Especially Tenda.
With the help of the social resources accumulated by ICQ, coupled with the overwhelming online and offline marketing at no cost, the number of users is increasing day by day and has reached 30 million.
Really scary.
Think about Weixin, it took a month just for the first five million users.
There's no comparison at all.
"My butterfly, the flashing butterfly effect is a bit big." Zhang Shuo felt helpless.
In my impression, the number of users of Weixin, formerly owned by Spacetime Tengda, would not exceed 50 million until the end of 2011. Compared with the current rush and fierce battle, those were two completely different rhythms.
really.
Even a giant like Tenda would become sluggish if there were no catfish to disrupt the situation.
"Thirty million, it's time to take action!" Zhang Shuo had a murderous look in his eyes and called Wu Xian, the manager of the legal department, "How far is the case of Tengda suing Weixin for plagiarism?"
"The first court session was held three days ago. According to your previous instructions, the matter was settled. The second court session is scheduled for next Friday." Wu Xian reported.
Even if you are going to lose, you can't just admit defeat right away.
According to Zhang Shuo's arrangement, he would at least wait for WeChat to gain some momentum, and then give WeChat a fatal blow at the critical moment to interrupt WeChat's rise.
To hit a snake, hit it seven inches.
By throwing in the towel too early, Zhang Shuo was still worried that Tengda would see some clues and change.
He doesn't think Tengda is stupid.
"It's almost time. When the second court session begins, we will immediately admit defeat. Then, we will immediately file an intellectual property lawsuit against WeChat for plagiarizing Weixin." Zhang Shuo's eyes were firm.
"Don't worry, all the litigation materials have been prepared." Wu Xian was also excited.
This is the time to sound the war horn for counterattack.
