Rebirth of India: Superior

Pu Wenhao just said casually, it's none of my business whether you can make money in China. Anyway, as long as I can get the agency fee, he said, "Since Mr. Pandit, you are confident, then Okay, then I think we can discuss the specific matters of cooperation. Assistant Jin, go and get a copy of our agency contract from Mr. Pandit ←"

Not long after, Assistant Jin brought an agency contract to Shakru. Shakru briefly looked through it, and then said seriously: "I have two opinions on the agency issue that I would like to discuss with you. one time."

Pu Wenhao made a gesture and said: "Okay, Mr. Pandit, please tell me."

Shakru raised a finger and said: "The first is the issue of the agency period. I think three years is too short. I want to change it to ten years. The second point is the agency fee. I think it is too high. If it’s half, I think it’s more reasonable.”

After listening to Shakru's words, Pu Wenhao shook his head repeatedly and said: "Mr. Pandit, this is absolutely impossible. Three-year agency rights are a common practice in the industry. If I break the rules rashly, my peers will blame me. In addition, our The agency fee is not high, at least it is much lower than the Magic Baby and Stone Age you just mentioned, and we will be responsible for all problems and product upgrades that occur during operation and maintenance, so it is definitely worth the money.”

"What if I don't need your company to perform scheduled maintenance? Then can the price be reduced?" Shakru said this not to bargain, mainly because he looked down on the work efficiency of the Korean company. In his In my memory, all the games introduced in South Korea were very slow to correct bugs when they appeared, so instead of counting on them, I might as well count on myself. Anyway, I am still the major shareholder of Infosys, so it would be better to find a few experts in this field. Not a problem.

Hearing what Shaklu said, Pu Wenhao thought for a moment, and then replied: "If daily maintenance is not required, then the price can indeed be lowered, but half the share is really too exaggerated. You know what we are doing The legendary fan r2 has achieved very good results both in Korea and in Europe. ”

Shakru heard the words and smiled and said: "Oh? Really? Mr. Park, I have also done some research on the performance of your company's game, and the situation does not seem to be as good as you said. So I simply say To be honest, one of the main reasons why I chose your company's thelegendof r2 is that I think it has an advantage in terms of price. Otherwise, I can buy other products with better picture quality and richer plot content. game.”

Although these words are quite subtle, they are actually quite harsh. To put it bluntly, what Shakru means is that the reason why I buy your products is because I think your products are of inferior quality. , The price is cheap. If you don’t sell it, I will buy other people’s products with good quality. Although these words made Pu Wenhao very angry, he had to admit in his heart that the other party was telling the truth.

Although the legend of fan r2 has placed great hopes on it, in fact the performance of this game is not good. It is only a third-rate game in China, and it has not been promoted in Europe. Nightclub tickets are given for free. A lot. (European and American game magazines have a tradition of including nightclub tickets to promote games.)

The answer to why Shakru values ​​this game so much is very simple, because the name of the legendary r2 in China is "Legend". Anyone in China who has a little knowledge of online games will know the glory of this online game. , it can even be said that now and in the foreseeable future, no other online game will be able to reach his height. Even the world-famous "World of Warcraft" and the nationally popular LoL cannot compete with Legend in terms of profitability. Compared to.

It was precisely because of the unexpected popularity of Legend in China that after the contract expired, ade opened its mouth to Shanda Lion. In order to ensure Legend, Chen Tianqiao finally had to spend a lot of money to purchase a large amount of ade's equity. In order to prevent this kind of trouble from happening again, Shakru planned to get it right in one step and win the agency rights for ten years, so as to avoid future troubles.

After half a month of bargaining, Ade finally sold the ten-year agency rights in China to Shaklu's Legend Entertainment Co., Ltd. at a 20% discount on the agency fee. A large part of the reason why it happened so quickly was that Park Wenhao discovered that Shaklu was also in contact with other online game companies while discussing with ade. When he was afraid that this rare big customer would be snatched away by others, He had no choice but to agree.

After securing the agency rights, Shakru moved to Infosys and asked Murthy to help hire a professional online game maintenance team. Although Japan and South Korea can be regarded as big countries in online games, it is the United States that represents the highest level of strength in the online game industry. At least Blizzard's number one position has not been shaken.

With Murthy's connections and the temptation of Shakru's high salary, a maintenance team was quickly hired. Shakru arranged for them to start reviewing bugs within Legend, and then he went to China to buy bandwidth from China Telecom.

In the previous life, Chen Tianqiao of Shanda had limited funds, so he adopted a method of operation that was nothing but a free-for-all. First, he took the contract with ade and found Inspur and Dell, told them that he wanted to operate Korean online games, and applied for a two-month trial of the machine. The other party saw that it was a formal international contract, so they agreed to borrow the server.

Then he took the server contract and found China Telecom, using the same reason to apply for a trial. In the end, China Telecom also gave Shanda the right to free bandwidth for a two-month test period.

Finally, Chen Tianqiao took the three-party contract between the Korean side, the server manufacturer, and China Telecom, and gained the trust of Shanghai Ubisoft, the leading single-player game distributor in China, to help him sell game point cards.

Thus, Chen Tianqiao completed the most classic commercial game out of nothing in the history of China's Internet and even in the history of Chinese business!

Of course, he played this way because he had no money, and Shakru had no shortage of money, so he naturally didn't have to do it like him, and doing so could be said to have endless troubles, causing a lot of trouble for the later development of Shanda Legend, so Shakru planned to get rid of all these troubles once and for all this time.
