I want to make a game
Chapter 63 One Step Too Late
Liu Zhiyuan did not go back to the waiting room, but went directly to the VIP room at the airport. A plan from Peng Jianming was already placed on the table.
Liu Zhiyuan picked up the plan and read it word for word very carefully. After finding out that there were no problems, he fell asleep. There were still several tough games ahead.
An unassuming hotel in Moscow.
"Mr. Peng, just follow the plan and contact the Computer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences first to find out what they say."
"Alexei, Pajitnov, the founder, is not in a hurry. He is actually the weakest party."
Peng Jianming nodded and walked out.
Time passed little by little, and the room was filled with smoke. Liu Zhiyuan was now restless, smoking one cigarette after another.
"Dong dong dong..."
"who!"
"I."
Liu Zhiyuan heard Peng Jianming's voice and walked over quickly to open the door. Peng Jianming walked in. As soon as the door closed, he couldn't wait to ask.
"What do you say over there?"
Peng Jianming's face didn't look good.
"Something unexpected happened. The Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences has authorized the copyright to several computer companies. Now the problem is not limited to these three companies."
Liu Zhiyuan never imagined that he was still a step too late even though he almost stopped for a moment.
"However, the good thing is that if we only license the copyright to their computers, we still have a budget of US$20 million a year. According to Mr. Liu's idea, it will definitely not be enough to acquire all the Tetris copyrights on the market in a short period of time,"
"Because the authorized liquidated damages total US$14 million."
Liu Zhiyuan said without hesitation.
"Kai! We must take back all the Tetris pieces on the market."
As long as there is still Tetris on the market, Nintendo cannot ignore it. It has to let the game disappear for a while.
Suddenly, Liu Zhiyuan thought of something, a company called ELORG.
Memories gradually emerged from the back of my mind. In January 1988, this company began to discuss Tetris with the pirate dealer in the United States.
"boom..."
Liu Zhiyuan hammered the armrest of the sofa at his hand hard, his face became very ugly, he actually forgot such an important thing, it turns out that memory is not reliable at all.
"Mr. Peng, we must speed up the process and resolve this matter within two days."
In the Tetris case, ELORG finally sided with Nintendo, which means that Nintendo has noticed Tetris, and it must be thinking about something if it doesn't take action now.
Peng Jianming didn't know why the one-week plan suddenly turned into two days, but he had encountered this kind of sudden change in the negotiation process too many times.
"I understand, then Mr. Liu, you must be prepared for the price."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, and the two discussed the content of tomorrow's negotiations in detail.
The next day, Liu Zhiyuan's mental state was very bad. He almost didn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about a question, that is, what would happen if Nintendo suddenly intervened.
No matter what he was afraid of, Peng Jianming came back and told him a very bad news. The American pirate dealer Stan actually came over and he came to ask for authorization.
ELORG company is coming too.
The several authorized companies also responded today, saying they are very optimistic about the game and can increase the money but do not take back their copyrights.
How much does this fucking cost!? Seeing this situation, the Russian Science and Technology Center will not sell Tetris easily no matter how stupid it is. Although he said that he would spend all the money of the Han Dynasty, that was just to express his power.
In the meaning of winning.
He is no longer planning to develop any more games for Sega. In other words, except for Poke Ball, whose sales have declined, he has almost no income in the first half of the year.
The later MD was released in October 1988. Although he participated in the development of MD, it did not affect the normal progress of MD's development at all.
Liu Zhiyuan did not dare to spend all the money of the Han Dynasty for 10 months with no income except the Poké Ball. If something unexpected happened or a bad memory popped up in his mind, the Han Dynasty would probably
It's almost over.
Liu Zhiyuan is even more afraid that with the current situation, he may not be able to receive Tetris even after spending all the money from the Han Dynasty. The more he spends money, the more daring the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences will ask for it.
"I suspect that the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences contacted these people after we proposed the acquisition yesterday, otherwise they would not be able to come over in droves."
After hearing Peng Jianming's words, Liu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said.
"No doubt, it must be!"
It was November 1988 when all parties gathered in Moscow in later generations! It was only January now, and he and Stein had no communication, so they could not affect history at all. The reason why history has undergone such big changes is all due to the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Liu Zhiyuan signaled Peng Jianming to stop talking. He closed his eyes and thought about other ways to solve the current predicament. The room gradually became quiet.
a long time...
Liu Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Don't worry about the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. We will start contacting Alexei and Pajitnov tomorrow."
Peng Jianming nodded, what he thought too, now that the Russian Academy of Sciences Computing Center has reached a dead end, the trouble that Stein was originally planning to solve finally has now been combined with the first trouble.
We can only look at Alexey and Pajitnov to see if we can find new breakthroughs.
The third day...
"Mr. Liu, Stein and ELORG also went to see Alexei and Pajitnov today."
Although Liu Zhiyuan has already thought of this result,...
"The good news among the bad news is that they fell through and we now have the upper hand."
Liu Zhiyuan didn't have time to care about him playing this kind of word game.
"what reason?"
"As for money, Stein only contributed US$500,000, while ELORG provided US$1 million."
"I was afraid that something would happen if it dragged on, so I quoted $3 million. Alexei Pajitnov said he would get back to me tomorrow morning."
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment and blurted out.
"Alexei, is Pajitnov stupid? Does he agree to three million dollars?"
The Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences quoted them US$30 million today, which is a whole zero less.
Alexei Pajitnov is the real founder. If he doesn’t nod, no one is legal, even though he authorized the computer center.
Peng Jianming took out a handwritten document and handed it to Liu Zhiyuan.
"Alexey, Pajitno was fired from the computer center three months ago, and now he doesn't know the value of Tetris at all."
Liu Zhiyuan took a look at the information and found that there was indeed a period of time from the time Alexey and Pajitno developed Tetris to the time Tetris became popular around the world.
He knew this, but he didn't expect Alexei and Kitno to be so ignorant of the value of Tetris. People in the computer center and Stein must have kept it from him.
