Chapter 49 Gambling Agreement

However, the occurrence of Microsoft's antitrust case changed Microsoft's external strategy. Just like after the 3Q war, Penguin found himself alone to serve the enemy. After that, the overall strategy also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The browser war between Microsoft and Netscape was also caused by Microsoft's expansion too fast, which aroused the fear of other technology companies. As a result, Microsoft system bundled the IE browser. Although it won the market, it was also caught in a painful situation.

Later, it was fueled by many technology companies and finally triggered an antitrust investigation. After this time, Microsoft made huge changes and began to act in a low-key and abnormal manner. It has not been targeted again for several years.

In turn, Google later took over Microsoft's hated banner, and was investigated and fined every year by the commerce ministries of North America and Europe, almost never stopping.

After coughing, Scott looked at Chen Chu and said, "Chen, we have all seen the development of SG Games, and we also believe that SG Games will have greater development in the future!"

Chen Chu looked at Scott, waiting for his next words. What Scott said was all foreshadowing!

Then, Scott looked at Chen Chu and everyone in the conference room, "However, in this kind of development process, we will encounter various troubles. These are what we at Microsoft have experienced before. We hope you will not go through it. We have gone through it before."

Wrong way!"

"I value SG's gaming platform very much and believe that in the future, the SG gaming platform will become a hub in the gaming market!"

Scott touted the SG game platform. As for SG games and the like, although Scott wanted to brag about it, he really couldn't do it. So far, SG games have only developed one game, although they are making a lot of money.

Bo Man, but it makes people feel a little doubtful whether games of the same level can be developed in the future.

Listening to Scott's words, Chen Chu suddenly felt a clear feeling in his heart. He had somewhat guessed what Scott wanted to do this time.

With a smile on his face, Chen Chu said slowly, "President Scott, I have always been looking forward to the Microsoft Hardware Industry Department, especially the console!"

Hearing Chen Chu's words, Scott couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Chen Chu had guessed what he was thinking. Wu Xingdao and others heard this, but they didn't know what was going on!

Microsoft actually took a fancy to the SG game platform. Wu Xingdao thought, maybe it's not just that, he might even want to move the SG game platform to Microsoft game consoles!

Scott picked up the water and took a sip, then looked at Chen Chu and said, "Chen, your idea is very special. If SG Games cooperates with our console, there will definitely be a special response!"

Chen Chu laughed. Scott was indeed an old fox. It was Microsoft's idea, but he used Chen Chu's words to express it in order to take the initiative.

"We, SG Games, are willing to cooperate with any game company and any platform. If SG products can be logged on to the X wave and X console, I think it will be beneficial to everyone!" Chen Chu gave in and said.

Scott's face was filled with joy, "This is the right choice. Now our X-Wave

Chen Chu couldn't stand listening anymore. Microsoft started making consoles. It took nearly a year since the first-generation X-wave X console was released last year.

Sales volume and Microsoft's investment can only be said to be a loss-making profit. In the field of game consoles, compared with Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft can only be regarded as a latecomer.

There is no advantage in technology at all. Microsoft relies on having more money. From the moment it released the X-wave

However, this year Microsoft's Hardware Industry Department lost more than one billion U.S. dollars. This is what Scott calls tens of millions of sales, and that's how it came about!

And Microsoft just relies on spending money to launch a new game console every year. It just looks at the tactics of the sea of ​​machines and spends money to occupy the console market and share the home game console market equally with Sony and Nintendo!

Seeing that Chen Chu had guessed their intentions, Scott stopped talking nonsense and said directly, "Chen, we hope to cooperate with SG Games. We are willing to acquire the "Minecraft" game at a premium and transplant the SG game platform to

On our host!"

When Wu Xingdao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Scott's words were equivalent to handing over all Microsoft console users to SG Games in the future!

Scott saw the contemplative Chen Chu, Wu Xingdao and others looking at him, and then slowly said, "As we all know, we are mainly engaged in the hardware industry and are not much in the field of game development. After cooperation, SG Games will become our most popular game."

As an important game partner, all SG games can be logged into our console in the future without charging any channel fees!"

"Director Chen?" Wu Xingdao looked at Chen Chu. He felt that the conditions proposed by Scott were already very generous. Getting the Microsoft host platform for free was equivalent to tens of millions more users for SG!

"We are willing to spend 100 million US dollars to acquire the copyright of the "Minecraft" game. After logging on to the console platform, the sales profit will still belong to SG Games!"

"In addition, we are willing to spend another 200 million US dollars to acquire 55% of the shares of SG platform. Of course, we will not interfere in SG operations. This can be guaranteed!"

After saying that, Scott looked at Chen Chu calmly. He had already given Microsoft's conditions, three hundred million U.S. dollars. This is the authority Microsoft gave him this time Scott came. Of course, it can be higher, provided that

Chen Chu is willing to give up more shares!

Chen Chu felt that everyone at Chuke Technology was looking at him. The people sitting in the conference room had uncontrollable expressions of excitement on their faces. This was 300 million US dollars.

According to the current profitability of SG games, it would take several years to save so much money, and that's if there are no problems.

I let out a sigh of relief. To say that I am not moved is definitely a lie. It is like giving such money in person to see if I am moved!

After his heart beat, Chen Chu gritted his teeth and came to his senses, looked at Scott and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't accept such cooperation!"

Scott froze there. The smiles of the Microsoft staff who came with him also froze, and Wu Xingdao and others also had expressions of astonishment.

"If it's a funding issue, I can apply to the headquarters again..." Scott asked with a puzzled look on his face, thinking that Chen Chu was dissatisfied with the lack of money and he still wanted to fight for it!

Chen Chu waved his hand and said to Scott, "It's not about the acquisition amount, it's just that I don't accept the cooperation method!"

"It is also our expectation to cooperate with Microsoft and have games and platforms enter the console market, but I want to change the approach!" Chen Chu thought for a moment and said.

"In another way?" Scott looked at Chen Chu with a puzzled face. He didn't understand what Chen Chu meant.

Chen Chu's thoughts were already fully active at this time, "I want SG Games and Microsoft Hardware Industry Department to give one and a half years as a deadline. During this period, if SG Games can develop no less than three games with sales of 5 million,

, this 300 million U.S. dollars of funds will be used by SG Games free of charge and will be repaid after three years!"

"If it is not achieved, I will transfer the SG game platform and "Minecraft" copyright to you!" Chen Chu looked at Scott and said.

When Wu Xingdao heard this, his expression immediately changed. He wanted to stop Chen Chu, but it was already too late. This was a huge gamble. Wu Xingdao never expected that Chen Chu, who had always been calm, would make such a radical decision!

"Betting agreement?" Scott showed an interested look, looked at Chen Chu carefully, and looked at other people at Microsoft, "Chen, I want to remind you that this is not a trivial matter. You have to think clearly.

!”

Chen Chu stopped Wu Xingdao who wanted to speak and nodded, "I know exactly what I am doing!"

"Can I borrow an office? I need to report to the headquarters!" Scott said directly without delay.

When Scott left, only Chen Chu and Wu Xingdao were left in the conference room. Wu Xingdao said anxiously, "Director Chen, you are too impatient. Time is in our favor!"

"Time will never be enough, we must establish an absolute advantage in the shortest possible time!" Chen Chu had several acquisitions in mind that he wanted to complete, and the funds Scott sent came at the right time!

Half an hour later, Scott came in with a satellite phone and said, "Chen, I have informed the board of directors that Bill supports your decision and respects your opinion. He hopes that no matter what the outcome of this matter,

It will not affect the cooperative relationship between Chuko Technology and Microsoft!"

"Thank you Bill for me!" Chen Chu and Scott both had smiles on their faces, like two foxes, one big and one small.

Scott doesn't think Microsoft will suffer a loss, so at worst, he will lend Chen Chu 300 million US dollars to use for free for three years. Even if something goes wrong, Chu Ke Technology and SG Game Platform will be used as collateral, and he will make a profit without losing any money!

When signing the contract the next morning, Scott saw that only Wu Xingdao represented Chuko Technology, and Chen Chu was missing.

He couldn't help but asked Wu Xingdao, "Wu, at such an important moment as today, I think Chen should come forward!"

Listening to Scott's somewhat displeased voice, Wu Xingdao's face was full of helplessness, a bit hopeless, "Director Chen, I really have something to do today and I can't come to sign the agreement!"

"What is more important than the cooperation agreement?!" Scott asked with a pen.

Wu Xingdao and Yu Shixuan behind him looked at each other, and then said, "Exam!"

Scott had a confused expression on his face, and it took him a long while before he came back to his senses, "Are you saying that Chen can't come to the exam because of it?"

Hearing Wu Xingdao mention that when Chen Chu was still studying at the University of Science and Technology and mainly focused on studying, Scott felt a tightness in his chest. He thought of what Chen Chu was doing at his age, and then thought about himself.
