There is indeed something wrong with this online game planning 514, Prisoner’s Dilemma and Big Mac
Hear what Hawkins said.
Frank was silent for a long time, and finally just replied: "There is an old saying in the East, which is to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged."
“Shit!
You don’t want to betray me again, do you? Have you contacted Linmu Studio? Do you want to negotiate with them!?”
When Hawkins heard this, he became furious, approached step by step, and started questioning him directly.
"Don't spit on others, you are too sensitive."
When Frank heard what he said, he immediately stood up and denied it loudly.
In fact, both of them knew it well.
Both of them were somewhat retreating...
no way.
A "Call of Duty" directly interrupted the development momentum of Gameplayer, and at the same time established an absolute advantage for the Vaporwave game platform.
For such a game, coupled with the advantages established by being the first to operate the Vaporwave game platform, as well as factors such as community and creative workshops, players almost voted with their feet.
Gameplayer now gives away games, and players know how to receive them, and there are many players playing them.
But in the end, players will still return to the Vaporwave gaming platform...
This is a very tiring process.
But this wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.
If we are willing to continue to burn money and slowly cultivate players in the future, it is indeed possible to compete with the Vaporwave gaming platform.
Investors are also confident.
After all, the successful example of the Vaporwave gaming platform is right there.
However, a carnival directly destroyed the confidence of investors and the two leaders.
Linmu Studio also has many games.
Many excellent games.
They can also use an event to send the entire gaming community into a carnival.
what to do?
After this issue surfaced.
What followed was frustration and the thought of giving up.
Otherwise... let's go back to the Vaporwave gaming platform.
That's pretty good, isn't it?
Each game can sell an additional two to three million copies.
This is also money.
With this thought, it was out of control.
This is also the reason why Dream Kingdom and Gibber Company contacted Linmu Studio to discuss the share again.
In fact, although the two families were talking secretly.
But both Frank and Hawkins were convinced that the other party should have done the same thing!
So now, both of them broke out.
"How dare you say you didn't contact Linmu Studio!"
Hawkins also let go and stared at Frank.
"No!"
Frank frowned and said: "And what we are discussing now is what Gameplayers are going to do next after the release of "Diablo"! Rather than attacking each other!"
"Then what do you think we should do? Stay still and act like a turtle?" Hawkins raised his voice.
"Why be a tortoise! We must adapt to the ever-changing situation! Why are you so nervous? "Diablo" has not been released yet! Who knows what will happen? Besides, a game can't affect too many things, let alone
A dual-login game."
Frank explained: "What if? What if their game is mediocre? You know, "Monster Hunter" doesn't sell well in Europe and the United States..."
"enough!"
Hawkins interrupted the other party directly, almost vomiting blood: "You say this every time! You feel this way every time! Every time you feel that the other party's game is average! But every time you are crushed by the other party! When did you predict
Right? FUCK!”
Say it.
He turned around and left angrily.
Frank was left embarrassed alone.
Then.
Wait until Hawkins leaves.
Frank slowly reacted, with an angry look on his face.
The two of them broke up unhappy.
Gameplayer has literally reached the edge of the cliff.
that day.
Linmu Studio received further contact calls from two companies.
Although they are not contacting people on the same level as Frank and Hawkins, the meaning is the same as last time.
You reduce your share, I'll come back...
It's just more obvious than last time.
But after Mu Wanqing reported the matter to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao directly replied, "Don't pay attention."
Then he went to do his own thing.
Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie are really reliable. The mobile phone factory they acquired was originally thought to be an ordinary company that was about to go bankrupt, but after Lin Yao received the due diligence report, she found... there was an unexpected surprise.
So she can't take care of Gameplayer for now.
talk about it later!
…
"The other party still refused? Didn't they even leave room for discussion?"
Frank heard the report from his subordinate.
Startled slightly.
After all, Gibber Company is also a large developer and publisher on the same level as Linmu Studio, if nothing else.
It has a lot of well-known IPs, and it has more than 25 games under development. In the two fields of gun racing and racing, it is almost the leader.
The only one that can compete with them in these two fields is Dreamland.
Not even talking about it?
Reject directly?
Is that too arrogant?
Is our game that unimportant?
"Yes." The subordinate didn't say much and gave the exact reply directly.
"FUCK, forget about it! Let them continue to be tough! Just issue an announcement saying that Gibber's games will never be launched on the Vaporwave game platform in the future! All the games sold at the carnival are for consoles! "Diablo" is not released yet! I feel like
Are you invincible?"
Frank also got angry.
Besides, it is also the dominant player in Europe and the United States.
Where have I ever experienced such anger?
Although you don’t log in to the Vaporwave game platform, sales are a lot lower, but it’s not impossible to sell. Players who want to play in the two fields of car and ball still have to get Gameplayer!
Can I play it on the Vaporwave game platform instead of Gameplayer?
Unless the Fantasy Kingdom game lands on the Vaporwave gaming platform...
etc.
Dreamland!
"good."
the other side.
When the subordinates heard the order, they turned around and left, acting vigorously and resolutely.
"Stop."
But the next second.
Frank suddenly stopped him: "Don't post the announcement yet. Go and inquire about Fantasy Kingdom before posting it. Then don't mention Gibb's games and post it in the name of Gameplayer. In addition, even if the announcement is posted, continue to contact Lin Mu.
room."
subordinate:"?"
Very confused, with a question mark at the end.
but.
He didn't ask any questions, since he was just working part-time anyway.
In the end, he just nodded, turned around and left the office.
that day.
Dreamland simply agreed to Frank's suggestion.
Then, Gameplayer made an announcement without stopping.
To sum it up, players don’t have to worry, all games under Gameplayer will never be available on the Vaporwave game platform!
This announcement is very strongly worded, but to the players, it actually makes no sense.
Why are you making this announcement suddenly?
Linmu Studio didn’t say anything...
but.
Many players who like car and ball games are really relieved to see this announcement.
With the rise of the Vaporwave gaming platform, game accounts with multiple games have become virtual property and become important.
As for ordinary players, because of the strong performance of the Vaporwave game platform, most of them purchase games on the Vaporwave game platform, unless the game they are interested in has not been logged in.
But there are also people who mainly buy games on Gameplayer. Seeing that the Vaporwave game platform is getting stronger and stronger, they are really afraid that the former will suddenly stop operating one day.
I really don’t know where to cry.
Now that this announcement has been issued, it also makes them feel more at ease.
but.
What they don't know is.
It didn't even last ten minutes after the announcement was sent out.
The call from Gibber Company and Dream Country came to Linmu Studio...
This made the staff of Linmu Studio very confused.
no.
Didn’t you say that the game will never be released on the Vaporwave gaming platform?
I have written the report to Lin Yao, and now you are contacting me again?
What a psychosis!
But complaints are complaints.
They also responded to them very seriously based on the answers given by Lin Yao.
To put it simply, the Vaporwave game platform game commission will not be changed for the time being, and it has nothing to do with you.
I originally thought that if I replied to this point, it would be over.
However, the staff did not expect that the other party did not give up, but did not continue to hint about the split, but began to ask around the corner whether Dreamland/Gibber Company had reached an agreement with Linmu Studio...
Lin Mu Studio staff: “???”
…
The gaming scene is very lively.
Especially after the announcement from Gameplayer.
Most players think that the two gaming platforms are going to fight again...
In private, the prisoner's dilemma game between Dreamland and Gibb's Company has also added a lot of talking points within Linmu Studio.
But these have nothing to do with Lin Yao.
The release date of "Diablo" is confirmed, so there's no big problem for now.
She put aside the game for the time being.
Taking advantage of the time before the game was released, I went to the mobile phone factory I acquired.
Although the acquisition has not been officially completed, the dust has settled.
After all, this technology limited liability company called Youmedia, which focuses on mobile phones and hardware, really can't survive.
Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie talked about acquisition.
that day.
YouMedia held a special meeting of directors.
The acquisition plan was quickly approved.
Although the bargaining took two days, the price was really fast, as if the other party couldn't wait to get rid of the hot potato in their hands.
When Lin Yao went to You Media Technology Co., Ltd.
Although the acquisition has not been officially completed, the boss of this company is still very polite, even a little too polite.
It seems as if he is afraid that Lin Yao will not buy it.
After learning that Lin Yao was coming.
He ran to the door to greet him personally.
"welcome!"
The boss of You Media is a wealthy man in his early fifties, with a beer belly, a Chinese character face, and a kind smile on his face. His name is Li Qianxi.
biquge.name
"Actually, there's no need to do this. I'm just taking a look."
Lin Yao looked at Li Qianxi and was quite surprised by this.
Although according to the data, YouMedia has gone through three mergers, there are many internal factions, several sub-brands are at odds with each other, and the bottom-level staff have no sense of identification with the company.
But for Li Qianxi, the chairman of the board of directors, to run a high-end media company, she must have some emotion no matter what.
This impatient look to complete the acquisition immediately... is indeed a bit strange.
"No, this is what I should do." Li Qianxi shook her head, with a smile still on her face.
beside.
When Mu Wanqing heard what the other party said, she knew that Lin Yao didn't like such a scene.
Then he took the initiative to take a step forward.
Started to chat with the other party.
Then, the business exchanges began.
wrong.
It should be Li Qianxi who praised Linmu Studio for being awesome.
And Mu Wanqing is finding fault with the good media...
all in all.
Thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence - I feel that YouMei is not worth 700 million, and it looks like we want to talk about it again.
As Mu Wanqing's words gradually increased.
The smile on Li Qianxi's face slowly stiffened. Looking at the elder sister in front of her who was about the same age as her daughter, she realized that she had met her opponent.
but.
Mu Wanqing just didn't want Lin Yao to be disturbed, so she didn't continue to pursue the victory. She gave up after Li Qianxi said that the acquisition plan had been confirmed.
"...I'll ask my secretary to show you around. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
really.
Li Qianxi may have been frightened by Mu Wanqing's attitude of wanting to talk again, so in the end she did not insist on accompanying Lin Yao to visit, but asked her secretary to go.
Then, the secretary standing behind Li Qianxi also took the initiative to take a step forward and began to lead Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing and two other staff members into Youmedia.
Li Qianxi saw that Mu Wanqing did not hold on to the price and would not let go of the discussion.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
After finally meeting someone who was taken advantage of, he was really afraid that the other party would run away...
"Boss, there's no need to be so low-profile."
beside.
Li Qianxi's nephew, Li Jian, who is also the deputy general manager of You Media, looked at Mu Wanqing's back and felt a little unhappy.
After all, Mu Wanqing just reduced You Media to worthless!
"You can find another company that is willing to take over You Media and let me take the money and leave. I won't have to be so humble."
Li Qianxi glanced at her nephew and said coldly: "As long as the purchase price is not lower than the purchase price given by Lin Mu Studio, I will humiliate you."
"..."
Li Jian immediately became a little embarrassed.
YouMedia’s mobile phone market share is only 1%.
This poor market share has four sub-brands.
The brand has no great value, and the inside is like a quagmire.
In addition, there are no mainstream patents that can be obtained.
A large amount of money was invested in researching some new operating system, but the result was another disastrous failure.
The value is really low...
It's lower than Lin Yao's hammer in his previous life.
The only thing worth a bit of money is probably the self-built assembly plant.
Li Jian, a senior executive, and colleagues at You Media know this better than anyone else, so whether it can find a buyer, let alone 700 million, is a question.
"So if you don't have the skills, stop talking so much!"
Li Qianxi glared at her nephew: "It's not easy to meet an enemy... noble man! Stop talking so much, and ask your people to be smart and brag about the research laboratory we have established! Let's settle the matter as soon as possible
, don’t let the other party regret it again when the time comes!”
"I know, I have made arrangements before." Li Jian whispered back.
Li Qianxi stopped talking and breathed a sigh of relief again.
Finally, someone took over.
In fact, he himself doesn't think that the current excellent media is worth 700 million. If it was four or five years ago, he would have dared to talk about 700 million, but now... there is really no hope.
Taking the money and leaving now to make a comeback is the best outcome.
Fortunately, I met a young and ignorant person who took advantage of me.
Good luck to you.
Li Qianxi looked at Lin Yao's back and finally couldn't help but laugh.
Young people are easy to deceive.
the other side.
"You are quite evil-minded, Miss Mu."
Lin Yao looked back at Mu Wanqing, a little funny.
Mu Wanqing just started talking so loudly that Li Qianxi almost broke into tears.
"It's really what I'm saying just now, Lin Yao, except for the value of its self-built assembly plant, this company really has no advantages compared to other peers."
Mu Wanqing shook her head gently: "It feels like it's too much."
"It's not much. No matter how low it is, they will definitely not be willing to do it. If Lin Xi and Uncle Zhang's reports are not adulterated, they may even make a lot of money."
When Lin Yao heard this, she smiled softly and showed a strange expression.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Mu, shall I take you to visit the Kaishan Research Laboratory first?"
The secretary walking in front had a strange expression when he heard Lin Yao's words.
But he didn't say much.
Instead, he spoke directly and wanted to lead Lin Yao to visit the 'Kaishan Research Laboratory'.
"good."
Lin Yao put her hands behind her back and smiled innocently, looking very happy.
This is the Kaishan Research Laboratory.
This is the reason why You Media asked for 700 million yuan.
As for what Kaishan Research Laboratory studies.
It's quite funny to say.
system.
Yes.
A brand new system that is said to be adapted to all touch screen mobile phones.
YouMedia is not a company and has been merged twice during its development.
This has led to a sudden increase in the number of their brands, with varying quality and lack of unified standards.
The troubles caused by the merger go far beyond this. The merger also brings about factional disputes.
The senior management of YouMedia Ontology and the two merged companies were fighting each other, and no one was convinced by the other. Then Li Qianxi listened to the advice of an engineer. Starting seven years ago, she felt that touch screen mobile phones were the future, so she thought about starting with the mobile phone system and integrating the entire
There is a tightrope within the company.
They spent a lot of money to develop an operating system based on Youmedia's best-selling mobile phone based on existing open source resources.
I want to use this to end the problem of no unified internal standards.
However, they obviously underestimated the complexity of the system development project and the consumption of time, manpower, and material resources.
They can't handle it.
After investing seven years, only a semi-finished product was produced.
This semi-finished product was finally put on the market.
And the results can be imagined.
First of all, the ecology is completely incompatible, resulting in very few third parties willing to adapt.
This directly led to the fact that their mobile phones equipped with the new system were basically just bricks...and they sold 20,000 units.
The future of touch-screen mobile phones that Li Qianxi imagined has yet to come. They have no way to promote the system, let the market accept it, and build an ecosystem.
Eventually, as the infighting within You Media gradually escalated, the company as a whole began to decline and lost ground in the competition.
This mobile phone manufacturer, which was originally ranked among the top ten in the country, has reached a new low in market share and its revenue has begun to plummet.
In this situation.
Continuing to develop any operating system is just a dream.
It is even rumored that Li Qianxi said personally that this was the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life.
As YouMedia hit rock bottom, system-related investments were also suspended, the person in charge resigned, and system development that required long-term investment was aborted.
but.
They probably feel that the cost of investing in this thing is too high, and they are not willing to give up just like that, so they still retain a team of more than fifty people and maintain basic updates.
Li Qianxi's idea is also very simple, which is to use this as a selling point to sell You Media at a good price.
only.
No one is interested.
Because of the current field of mobile operating systems.
Although very diverse.
But the father is the same.
That is the operating system called Jiaming.
The developer of this operating system is a joint venture platform company, consisting of two overseas and two domestic mobile phone leaders.
The Jiaming operating system is basically compatible with all mainstream mobile phone models.
All vendors using this system form an alliance.
This is the famous Jiaming Alliance.
This is a Big Mac.
Who is thankless to buy a new operating system? Can you beat Jiaming?
so.
YouMedia has always been ignored.
but.
Lin Yao is interested.
I'm not interested in YouMedia, but mainly in their operating system.
Of course, their operating system has a lot of problems, a lot of problems, and many of the functions that Lin Yao was accustomed to in his previous life are not even there.
To say it is a semi-finished product is really not an exaggeration.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold myself for 700 million.
But...it smells like Android, yes, Android.
And this situation, it was really hard not to remind her of Symbian and Android, which were in full swing at that time.
So she plans to give it a try, let the switch team join in, and then invest money to see if it can be revitalized. If not, she will turn around and join the Jiaming Alliance! I will bow down!
But if it can.
That would be fun.
After all, this is not Lin Yao's previous life.
Android and IOS divide the world.
The Jiaming system currently used by the Jiaming Alliance... Lin Yao can guarantee that if mobile phones develop as they did in previous lives, they will definitely not be able to keep up with the times.
After all, who can bear to install a software and have to check the supported mobile phone models one by one?
At the turn of the old and the new.
It always takes someone to break the mold.
Lin Mu Studio’s current cash flow is healthy and its relationship with Reflecta is good. What if it’s you who breaks the old routine?
Lin Yao is actually betting on the future.
After all, when Linmu Studio entered the mobile phone market, the worst result of burning money was to build a mobile phone specifically designed to play Linmu Studio games.
She can still bear the consequences.
certainly.
To be more specific, you need to get started with the operating system developed by Youmedia.
If it doesn't meet expectations.
Lin Mu Studio's first mobile phone, Lin Yao is willing to gamble on the system rewards or join the Jiaming Alliance.
At most, it can be optimized based on the Jiaming system to make it more suitable for full screens.
soon.
Under the leadership of Secretary Li Qianxi, Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing came to You Media’s most valuable department, the ‘Kaishan Research Laboratory’.
The person in charge had already been waiting at the door and seemed to have received the news.
The person in charge is called Li Qi. He looks like he is in his mid-forties. I heard that he has been at Kaishan Research Laboratory for ten years and he led the development of the entire system.
When he saw Lin Yao, he was very enthusiastic.
After all, Lin Yao is the new boss next. Whether he can get funds and whether he will be laid off depends on this boss.
Unlike Li Qianxi, he still believes that self-developed systems have great potential!
It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Now that I saw one with rice, I was very excited.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so young and beautiful, just like..."
"stop."
Lin Yao suddenly interrupted him.
It's really disgusting for science and engineering students to praise others.
Also using metaphors, so blunt...
"You don't need to say anything, please let me try the mobile phone system you developed." Lin Yao said directly.
"good."
Li Qi was not good at praising others either. Hearing Lin Yao get straight to the point, he smiled coquettishly.
He took Lin Yao directly to the conference room and handed a prototype to Lin Yao.
At the same time, another prototype was placed on the table.
"Mr. Lin, what you have in your hand is the latest mobile phone equipped with our mountaineering system. However, due to Mr. Li's request, most of the functions inside are imitating Jiaming... If you want to experience the original mountaineering system, I recommend using this phone.
cell phone."
"oh?"
Lin Yao showed an interested expression, immediately put down the prototype in her hand, turned around and picked up another one.
Li Qi was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
