Chapter 985 Blizzard News
Moreover, with the explosive popularity of the game, China's four major live broadcast platforms are all broadcasting "Freedom Fight", and its current popularity is comparable to "Extreme Survival".
Even people in the United States have started playing it, and it is very popular. He sees great potential in this game, so he wants to get the agency for this game in advance.
Now, the game [Extreme Survival] has made him a lot of money. If he can get the agency of the game [Freedom Fight], and wait until the popularity of [Freedom Fight] reaches the level of [Extreme Survival].
His Blizzard games will have another way to make money.
However, the agency fee Wei Yan asked for caught him off guard. The licensing fee for "Extreme Survival" was 100 million yuan, plus a 40% share of the profits.
Then the licensing fee for "Freedom War" is twice that, which is 200 million, plus 40% of the profit share.
Two hundred million?
Although the price is very high, it is not unacceptable. After all, they have made a lot of money as the agent of the game "Extreme Survival".
If you invest 200 million and get a game that can rival "Extreme Survival", it is still worth it.
However, the only thing that made him hesitate was that [Freedom War] had just been launched, and it was still difficult to judge whether the current popularity could be maintained.
There are also many games in history that became popular as soon as they were released, but then their popularity quickly faded in a short period of time.
So he couldn't tell whether the game "Freedom Fight" was just a temporary hit.
"Mr. Matt, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. You know, being a company manager is very busy."
Wei Yan waited for a while, and seeing that Matt had not responded, he slowly spoke.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Wei Yan."
When Matt heard Wei Yan's words, he quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Anything else?"
"We can discuss the agency issue."
"I've already said that the price I want is twice that of [Extreme Survival]. There's no need to negotiate."
Wei Yan said this in a firm tone. He did not give in just because of the previous cooperation between the two of them.
He would not change the doubled price, and he also believed that the other party could afford it. During this period, [Extreme Survival] made them a lot of money.
"I can accept twice the price."
Matt didn't hesitate to speak after hearing this.
Two hundred million are gone. With [Extreme Survival], we can make a profit soon. But if the agency of [Freedom War] is snatched away by others, it will be a loss.
Although the current popularity of Freedom Fight is still uncertain, it is better than falling into the hands of other game companies.
"Then find a time and send someone over, or come in person, to sign the contract."
Wei Yan nodded when he heard this. He had expected Matt's choice.
"Okay, Mr. Wei Yan, I'll buy a plane ticket for tomorrow and make an appointment with you when I get to Jiangcheng."
"Ok!"
"..."
in the office,
Wei Yan put down his phone and fell into deep thought.
He had been waiting for the popularity of "Freedom War" to completely stabilize before considering overseas agents.
But Matt's phone call just now reminded him that there was no need for him to wait until the popularity of "Freedom War" stabilized.
Just like Matt, he was willing to pay twice the price to be the agent of Freedom Fight.
He probably understood Matt's mentality, that he would rather take down the game himself, so that if the popularity of the game declines in the future, it would only be a loss of 200 million yuan.
And there won’t necessarily be a loss, a game that is so popular nowadays can still remain profitable even if its popularity drops, but the profit will be less.
However, if this game falls into the hands of other game companies and its popularity drops, it would be fine. But if its popularity remains the same or even increases, wouldn’t that mean there is an even more powerful enemy?
Therefore, in order to prevent other companies from becoming powerful by obtaining the agency of [Freedom War], they had to take down the agency of [Freedom War] in advance.
In that case,
He can fully utilize this point and negotiate with other game companies that represent "Extreme Survival" about the agency of "Freedom Fight".
As long as the other party feels that the price is too high and does not want to be an agent, he can just make the agency matter public.
He believed that some people with sufficient funds would be willing to take risks, because as long as "Freedom War" continued to be popular, their returns would be very high.
Businessmen pursue profits,
As long as the benefits are great enough, someone will take the risk.
Wei Yan thought for a while, then got up and left the office. Finally, he came to Fang Chang’s office, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Boss Wei, what's going on?"
Fang Chang led Wei Yan to the reception area and then poured him a cup of tea.
"Let me tell you about the Freedom War."
Wei Yan spoke,
Both of them are managers of the company, so they definitely need to communicate with each other regarding the agency of [Freedom War].
"Has [Freedom Fight] encountered any problems?"
Fang Chang looked up at Wei Yan.
"Not a problem. Matt, the agent of Extreme Survival in the United States, just called me..."
Wei Yan recounted in detail what happened when Matt called him just now.
"Matt accepted double the price?"
Fang Chang spoke unexpectedly. He didn't expect Matt to accept even twice the price.
Even if it maintains its current popularity, or if its popularity rises again in the future, it will be about the same as "Extreme Survival". Even if it surpasses it, the price will not double.
This made him confused.
"I paid twice as much to buy it because I wanted to prevent the agency of this game from falling into the hands of other companies. Competitors are enemies. If your competitor gets the agency of [Freedom War] and becomes much stronger because of [Freedom War], then he is aiding the enemy in disguise."
"So he would rather take the risk and win the agency than let other companies win [Freedom Fight] and not give other peers any chance to improve."
Wei Yan began to explain.
"So that's how it is. You are worthy of being President Wei. If you hadn't explained it to me, I wouldn't have thought of these things."
Fang Chang looked at Wei Yan with some admiration. As a member of the management of Cangxue Games, Wei Yan actually did a lot more.
What he is good at is more game-related content, so things like negotiations with the other party are still handled by Wei Yan.
"We all have our own areas of expertise. If you ask me to develop a game, I can't do it, so don't belittle yourself because of this."
Wei Yan smiled and continued speaking.
