#2314 - Negotiation
Jiuzhou Technology's business cooperation has always been based on the principle of reciprocity. Even though Gu Qing himself is still at the headquarters in Xinke District, Rongcheng City, he will not communicate with the teams in these two countries.
When the president and CEO of Morgan Stanley came to discuss cooperation in person and wanted to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire a stake in Jiuzhou Technology, Gu Qing refused in person.
Although there are some powerful elites among the two teams, but...
In Gu Qing's opinion, this group of people are either here to go through the process and show the public their willingness to cooperate, or they are just a mouthpiece and cannot make any decisions at all.
After these years of changes, when the American team and the Neon Island team entered the new area, although their eyes were a little surprised from time to time, they managed to remain calm.
Even members of the two teams said very similar things to media reporters without communicating with each other.
"Xinke District is indeed a technological urban district facing the future. Although we also have related technical products, the progress of applying them to urban construction is very slow. If we can cooperate with Rongcheng City and Jiuzhou Technology..."
"The urban area of our Neon Island is not large, which is more suitable for this kind of high-tech smart city transformation technology. If this cooperation goes smoothly, we will continue to advance and discuss other cooperation projects so that the residents of our Neon Island can also enjoy a safe and healthy smart city life."
When they entered the same large conference room one after another, the expressions of each team member changed slightly.
Wang Teng's keen observation skills, honed over the years of gaming career, allowed him to see that many members of the Neon Island team subconsciously nodded when they saw the American team, and some even raised their right hands and bowed slightly to show their goodwill.
Zhou Yi, the head of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, said: "Since everyone from the American team and the Neon Island team wants to discuss with us the cooperation on the Spirit Realm Ecosystem's "Smart Machine Crisis" and other projects, we have considered that the work arrangements of the project leaders of each company cannot be adjusted on a large scale in the short term, so today's meeting is to publicize the basic conditions of all our Jiuzhou Technology cooperation projects to you.
If you can meet these basic conditions, we will conduct in-depth consultations and exchanges later to provide corresponding services to local users as soon as possible."
Although this arrangement did not satisfy the other two team members, when some of them wanted to vent their unhappiness, they subconsciously thought of the tasks on their shoulders and chose to nod and accept it.
After all, the on-site conference room not only had cameras, but also reporters from the Xiahua Society sent by the Daxia government...
When you are under someone's eaves, you have to bow your head. If Jiuzhou Technology turns around and announces that it cannot cooperate due to certain reasons just after you arrive in Daxia, it will easily affect your future.
But this restraint did not last long.
When the team members from the United States and Neon Island saw the basic conditions of projects such as Lingjing Ecology, Kyushu Communications, and Kyushu Customized Servers, no one could sit in their seats calmly.
"Mr. Ying, Kyushu Communication Services requires us to provide the design, manufacturing, launch, and operation service fees of communication satellites, as well as the construction and operation and maintenance fees of communication stations. We can understand that this is a service for our local citizens after all, but why do we still need to pay a special service fee? And each communication number needs to pay 100,000 yen? This is unreasonable!"
"We must complete the construction of Jiuzhou Communication Service and the customized server project before we can carry out the Spiritual Realm Ecological Cooperation? Sorry, I don't understand why it is arranged this way? After all, our American users do not use these communication services and can also play in the Spiritual Realm Ecological World, and the so-called high latency of players does not actually affect daily use."
"For the customized server project, for every one million registered users of the Spirit Realm Ecosystem, you will need to pay $100,000 per year. If there are 100 million users, you will need to pay an additional $10 million per year? And will the fees fluctuate?"
Although they had done relevant homework before coming to Daxia, they knew that Jiuzhou Technology's overseas cooperation projects were always very expensive.
But now it's just the basic conditions, and it has already exceeded the bottom line they set before coming here...
However, even though they were very dissatisfied, they could only choose to ask questions as much as possible, hoping to let the senior management of Jiuzhou Technology know that under the current circumstances, some unreasonable demands should be changed.
After all, our team does not represent a corporate organization, but a country!
There was even a middle-aged man in the American team who slapped the table and said coldly: "As far as commercial cooperation in the field of communications is concerned, we are now discussing an exclusive cooperation project in a big country market. We are willing to provide financial and policy support for the localization of your company's project, but it does not mean that we can accept your threats without a bottom line!
The people of the United States love your technology and products from Jiuzhou Technology very much, and we come here with sincerity!"
Zhou Yi, Wang Teng, Ying Shu and others looked at each other, and then Zhou Yi nodded to Wang Teng.
At this moment, Wang Teng raised his head at a slightly wider angle.
A hardcore player who has played games for so many years in the Jiuzhou Entertainment branch turned on his microphone and said, "Everyone on the American team, if you want to discuss a cooperative project, I personally think you should first understand the project well before discussing cooperation.
Especially the "Smart Machine Crisis" project, which is rooted in the Jiuzhou Lingjing ecological technology. Without the Jiuzhou Lingjing ecological platform, it cannot run and cannot be independent.
To use the online battle function of "Omnic Crisis", we also need the Jiuzhou Communication Engineering Technology that is dedicated to serving the Spirit Realm Ecological Project."
At this point, Wang Teng paused, then glanced at the team members in the United States and Japan, shook his head, and said with a little emotion: "So far, users from Japan, the United States, and other countries and regions where we have not authorized cooperation have logged into the Spirit Realm ecosystem and played various games. Whether they are using the Titan processor or relying on the Spirit Realm login device, they can log in normally because of the device permission.
You may not know that our Jiuzhou Entertainment Branch has been paying relevant service fees to Lingjing Company and Jiuzhou Communications Company for Jiuzhou ecological game players in unauthorized areas over the years.
In addition, some expert teams in some individual countries and regions have been urging us to shut down the login permissions of these users as soon as possible. Of course, as long as the region issues a document with official legal effect, we will withdraw from the regional market in accordance with the requirements of the document.
The reason for customizing the server is mainly because America and Japan refused to allow Cloud Kowloon Big Data Company to enter your market in the early days. We need a dedicated server to operate.
Of course, I know that you don’t have relevant knowledge reserves, so I can explain to you a little bit that the server of our Jiuzhou Entertainment Game Project involves Jiuzhou’s exclusive basic code, core layer, special framework, and logical bottom layer.
Each level has its own specific technology and knowledge requirements. In addition to the common mathematical library and data structure, the core layer's network library, database, protocol encoding and decoding, collaborative timing, and message synchronization do not use ordinary network server technology.
The Spirit Realm server needs to handle a large number of players' simultaneous online and interactive data, which is more than a hundred times that of ordinary online games!
The data interaction of virtual games may seem simple, but in order to achieve the best simulation effect, we have exclusive level permissions for each player's hardware foundation, which can quickly respond to the player's operations, ensure the smoothness and stability of the game, and guarantee the player's gaming experience.
Now Bluestar can provide servers that support the interactive gaming experience of the Spirit Realm Ecosystem Platform, and these servers only have high-performance, excellent heat dissipation, and sufficiently stable carbon-based chip servers.
We understand the restrictions on our semiconductor products in markets such as the United States and Japan, so we have not deployed local servers before. The high latency of these players is mainly because they use server resources and communication resources in neighboring countries and regions. "
In ordinary multiplayer online games, data synchronization between each player is a problem that must be solved. The more interactive items involved, the more difficult it is to synchronize data.
It is very easy to create plug-ins for FPS games, and to modify skins and recoil. This is mainly because most games like FPS rely on local server file resources rather than being truly operated by online cloud servers throughout the entire process.
As the only successfully operated virtual world on Blue Star, Lingjing Ecosystem has strong anti-cheating performance, partly because the communication support for users' local hardware, local servers, cloud servers and game data are all provided by the unified technological achievements of Jiuzhou Technology.
Ordinary hackers cannot even break through the outermost protective shell of the program, and there is no way for them to install cheat plug-ins.
After Wang Teng explained some technical issues to these elites, Zhou Yi also stepped forward and said, "This is the situation. Of course, if anyone is dissatisfied with the current situation, you can also publish a document. Our Jiuzhou Lingjing Company will reject the access applications of these users in accordance with the provisions of the document.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This will also reduce our operating pressure and improve our company’s economic situation.”
Ban those local players?
Some people were afraid when they thought about how they would be treated when they returned to their home country with such results.
After seeing the flickering eyes of some elites, Zhou Yi added another explosive piece of news.
"For this Kyushu Mecha Global Challenge, we hope to provide the best service to every contestant, so after the subsequent physical examination, we will arrange free training plans and public training resources to ensure that every contestant can participate in every game as an independent free agent without a club or contract.
This time, we did not consider the identity rights of some overseas users carefully, so we also included them in the list of eligible users. This is a problem that occurred in our work. We will learn from this lesson and do a good job in the second Kyushu Mecha Global Challenge. "
At this time, even a fool could hear the hidden meaning of Zhou Yi's words.
If they fail to reach an agreement on the cooperation this year and allow Jiuzhou Technology to install base stations and build servers in their own country as soon as possible, their local players will be excluded from this mecha challenge in the future.
Some members of the Neon Island team lost their patience and said subconsciously: "How can this be possible?!"
In the relatively quiet conference room, although the decibel of the neon bird language was not loud, everyone on the scene had real-time translation devices, so almost in an instant, dozens of eyes turned to the Neon Island Country team.
A middle-aged man with greasy hair, with a flushed face, was twisting the pen in his hands with both hands.
The head of the Neon Island team glanced at the middle-aged man, and thinking of the relationship between the other party's family and himself, he could only lower his voice and said, "Dusan Jun, if you have any ideas, you can tell us and we will discuss them together."
Dusang Saburo looked at the eyes around him, took a deep breath, and said with a trembling voice under pressure: "Games should bring spiritual enjoyment to people, regardless of whether they are happy or not. And mecha battles are the competitive trend in the technological era. The comics creators of our Japanese island country have been imagining it decades ago.
"Omnic Crisis" has a considerable user base and influence in our native Neon Island country..."
When the team members of Neon Island heard the "traitor-like" speech of their own, some even wanted to rush over and cover the traitor's mouth.
The Kyushu security elites in the conference room were watching the situation around them closely to ensure that there would be no disturbance.
However, the reporters and cameramen of Xiahua News Agency were very excited when they saw one news and excellent shot after another.
After Dusan Saburo excitedly talked about a lot of excellent points of "The Machine Crisis" and the Spirit Realm Ecological Project, when he gradually calmed down, he suddenly realized what a ridiculous thing he had done!
However, for some reason, Dusang Saburo still felt an inexplicable familiarity with Jiuzhou Technology's products at this moment. He finally said: "This is a future technology that will benefit all mankind. Many players in our Neon Island country and spiritual users who don't play games are sincerely waiting for your company's products to land in our country..."
After saying this, the middle-aged man immediately and skillfully bowed 90 degrees.
The rest of the Neon Island team couldn't help but yelled, "Baka!"
