"He is a threat!" Gao Yuan's pretty face was filled with anger. She had done her homework before the discussion and naturally knew what Liu Yi's last two cases meant.
South Korea's Blue Hole Company, which was in the limelight after developing the popular "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game, rejected Penguin's proposal to invest. Because of Penguin's tough attitude, its executives said they would never accept Penguin's investment.
After that, Penguin Group directly spent huge sums of money to acquire shares of Blue Hole Company from other investors, and Blue Hole Company immediately panicked.
After a period of time, a large number of games that imitated "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" began to appear on the market. "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" also suffered a sharp decline in popularity and reputation due to various plug-ins and bugs. The "hard-core" Blue Hole Company executives had no choice but to ask for help.
Penguin Games compromised and accepted Penguin's investment of 3 billion, and Penguin Games became the second largest shareholder of Blue Hole Company.
As for the second case, a certain auto-chess game studio is similar to this. That game studio also released news that it will never authorize Penguin Games to represent their auto-chess!
But they soon discovered that Penguin Games had quickly launched its own auto-chess game, and there was more than one! In particular, the "Genting Chess" of the king of PC games "League" triggered a wave of chess craze.
The popularity of that game studio's own Auto Chess game plummeted. As a result, the CEO of the game studio quickly changed his mind and stated that they would co-publish their Auto Chess game with Penguin Games.
In the face of Penguin Games' strong market dominance, all rejections have evolved into "true fragrance warnings"!
"Mr. Meng, if we don't agree, they will use the same tactics against us." Vice President of Marketing Liao Rong said with a worried look on his face. No one dares to underestimate Penguin's warning!
"Isn't this also expected?" Meng Xiaobai was sitting on the office chair with a casual tone.
"But now we don't have the ability to go head-to-head with them. In the field of games, the building block game is still just a seedling." Liao Rong said. In fact, he prefers to cooperate with Penguin. In his opinion, selling part of the equity to Penguin will
You can make money and develop, so why not?
"What is supposed to come will always come," Meng Xiaobai said, "The operational capabilities of the Block Game Studio are still very weak, and our head office needs to help them. Let's make preparations in advance."
Meng Xiaobai was destined to disagree with Penguin's conditions because he knew that these game companies invested by Penguin had gradually become vassals of Penguin Games. Once they left Penguin's channels, they would face the risk of bankruptcy.
Block Game Studio must not become a vassal of Penguin Games. Therefore, if soldiers come to block it, water will come to cover it!
On the other side, Yan Bo and his team returned to Penguin Game Company.
"This Meng Xiaobai has a very tough attitude in refusing!" Yan Bo lamented, "We have offered so many preferential terms, but we are not moved."
"It is probably because of his short-term achievements that he has inflated his ego." Liu Yi commented, "He is not the first one."
"That's right." Yan Bo smiled, "Many people are complacent when they have achieved a little success, thinking that they have controlled the right to speak in the industry, but they don't know that they are still very young!"
"Mr. Yan, maybe the conditions we gave were too generous and they misjudged the format." Liu Yi agreed.
"He won't compromise without some pressure! It seems that Meng Xiaobai needs to be shown what cruel market competition is!" Yan Bo immediately issued an order, "Inform all departments that from tomorrow, all promotion channels of Penguin Games will be opened."
, "Super Battlefield" and any works of Block Game Studio are strictly prohibited!"
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!" Liu Yi showed a smile on his face. This is Penguin's great trick. In the current game market, more than half of the platform resources are under Penguin's control. As long as the "
"Super Battlefield", no matter how popular the game is, it will be cool!
"Remember, don't make it public." Yan Bo emphasized. If they publicly announce the ban on "Super Battlefield", they will definitely be attacked by public opinion and held accountable by the market supervision department.
But with invisible blocking, no one can find anything wrong with it! They are already very experienced in this kind of operation.
"Understood!" Liu Yi immediately began to make arrangements.
…
Penguin's invisible ban on "Super Battlefield" was not heard from the outside world at all, but everything started to happen the next morning!
Penguin Browser, "Walnut", a game article writer.
"Finally finished!" Walnut has just completed a guide for beginners to the game "Super Battlefield". This is the most popular mobile game recently. As long as I write related articles, the click-through rate is extremely high.
In order to write a hit, Walnut has been playing "Super Battlefield" continuously for the past few days, and combined with the information collected online, he finally wrote this "Super Battlefield" game guide with high practical value.
He published the article with great anticipation, expecting its click-through rate to skyrocket!
"I'm sorry, the article you published is suspected of violating the rules, please modify it yourself!" He just went to bed, and one day the backend website short message popped up, indicating that his article had been banned!
"What's going on?" Walnut was surprised. He was a skilled copywriter. He checked this article twice. There were absolutely no sensitive words or topic content. Why was it banned?
He didn't believe in evil, so he posted it again, but it was still deleted within a second, and the system warned that if he posted the same article again, his account would be banned!
"Why? Where did I violate the rules?" Walnut was very unconvinced and contacted the website editor he knew.
"I can't say this, but lately, you'd better not write articles related to "Super Battlefield". You can write about other games," the editor said.
"Why?" Walnut didn't understand and asked, "What happened to "Super Battlefield"? There is nothing illegal in this game."
The editor stopped replying to him, so Walnut had no choice but to give up.
…
"Up above, on top of the Technology Tower! Do you see it?" In the university dormitory, Tang Yan and his roommates were playing "Super Battlefield". The game had entered the finals, and only Tang Yan and another competitor were left.
"What an old silver coin!" Tang Yan aimed at the human head exposed above, and fired the last laser energy, accurately hitting his opponent.
"Victory!" The words that popped up on the game interface made Tang Yan excited. This was already his fourth consecutive game of chicken!
"Wait a minute, I'm going to send it to the group chat to show those scumbags what it means to be a master!" Tang Yan said excitedly. After saying that, he was about to send the game report link to his friend group.
But when he was about to share the link to "Super Station", the group message prompted: "The link you sent has unknown risks and has been deleted."
