Chapter 170 A new game to start the new year

After the New Year, everyone came back to work with a lot of joy.

Not only because this fourteen-day holiday (counted from the seven days before the New Year) makes up for the fatigue caused by the past year, but also because when you come back to work, you can "cheat" the young master a huge red envelope for starting work.

If you start working, you will make money; if you are unhappy, you will have trouble.

After a lengthy meeting, Lin Muchen had lunch while looking through the reports submitted by various departments.

It's embarrassing to say that these reports were actually submitted years ago, but at that time, everyone's minds, including Lin Muchen's, were focused on the holidays, so he put these reports on hold.

If there were no accidents, these reports should be locked in the filing cabinet now, but a New Year's call from Mr. Ren of Warwick dispelled his idea and asked him to pick up these reports and look through them carefully.

Although he had previously known that the Strategic Investment Department had made another move to acquire two companies, he did not know what these two companies did specifically.

He is the only one in a large company who can be a hands-off shopkeeper to this extent.

The two companies acquired by the Strategic Investment Department, one hardware and one software, are inseparable from AI.

Thinking of its application in League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, as well as Mr. Ren’s emphasis on [Chang’e], he was really surprised.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, these people have achieved unexpected results, and their influence has even extended to another field.

Of course, the most important reason is that Lin Muchen is willing to spend money.

Just as he was looking through the report with great interest, Hua Yuansheng walked in.

"Uncle Hua, sit down," Lin Muchen greeted, "What do you think of Warwick's proposal?"

"I think we can agree."

Without waiting for Lin Muchen to ask, Hua Yuansheng replied: "With Chenxing's current size, we need an ally. Although Huawei is not a company in the gaming circle, it has considerable influence. We will establish a joint venture with them to deepen our relationship with them."

The contact and cooperation will benefit us without any harm."

"Secondly, [Chang'e] should not be limited to the gaming field," Hua Yuansheng said with a wry smile. "Their technical geek leader has mentioned this point of view to me more than once. [Chang'e] is leading the industry.

Our products should not be limited to this, but should go deep into every field just like they are used in game anti-cheating and network security."

"The power of working alone is limited after all, and we do not have the need or ability to develop corresponding AI for the mobile phone field alone, and cooperation with Huawei can just make up for this shortcoming."

Speaking of this, Hua Yuansheng showed a weird smile: "I think what he said is right. Only when our products extend their tentacles to various fields can we maximize our interests. Cooperation with Warwick is just the beginning. Waiting for [Chang'e]

When it really develops, we don't even need to set up any joint ventures. We only license the right to use AI to external parties and collect patent fees. Moreover, we will retain all the patents derived from their industry matching of [Chang'e] for free and even use it.

The right to participate in the distribution of benefits."

Lin Muchen was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became weird.

Why is this operation so familiar?

In a previous life, a company named Gao seemed to do this.

All mobile phone companies that use his chips must not only pay him a patent fee of 5% of mobile phone sales, but also allow him to use all patents applied to this mobile phone for free.

But because of its dominant position in the chip field, other mobile phone manufacturers have to pinch their noses and admit defeat.

Although it is disgusting to do this kind of thing to others, but if you are the "gangster"...

It’s quite touching when I think about it.

"Tsk, why are you more like a profiteer than me?" Lin Muchen couldn't help shaking his head and teasing.

Hua Yuansheng coughed: "No way, I'm just doing something in my position..."

The two foxes looked at each other and laughed tacitly again.

After laughing, Lin Muchen said seriously: "Domestic companies can relax their conditions, after all, they are all their own people. As for foreign technology companies... don't be soft."

As in previous lives, there are still certain technological hegemonies and barriers in this world.

Lin Muchen has no psychological burden when dealing with these companies.

As for how it will be carried out specifically, he believes that Hua Yuansheng has a strong idea in mind.

"I understand," Hua Yuansheng nodded, and then took out a report document, "In addition, here is the financial report of Longcheng Entertainment. Last year, their profits plummeted by 60%."

"So many?"

"There are two reasons for the preliminary analysis. One is that the revenue of old games has declined and almost all players have been lost. If they do not develop new games, they may be in a very difficult situation this year; the second reason is that they had a huge loss last year.

An investment was made in Three Kingdoms, but the revenue from Three Kingdoms was not reflected in last year's financial report. Our guess is that the revenue is between 5 million and 8 million. The specific revenue data depends on their first quarter financial report.

."

Having said this, Hua Yuansheng paused, and then smiled indifferently: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. Don't forget that our legal department is in a lawsuit with it. I can guarantee that Longcheng Entertainment will eat it."

No matter how much money we put in, we will have to pay out how much money we have to pay out.”

Lin Muchen's attention was still on the financial report, but when he heard these words, he immediately raised his head: "Are you so confident in them?"

Hua Yuansheng curled his lips: "The situation is that the ability and strength of the Legal Department cannot be underestimated. To put it bluntly, do you really think that you spend so much money to support so many people, and the annual meeting red envelopes are just like nothing?

It has no effect at all when it is sent out? I bet that if Longcheng Entertainment doesn’t cut off a piece of meat this time, they will never let go.”

......

After Hua Yuansheng left, Lin Muchen rushed to Lingmei Studio again.

A new year and a new beginning, it’s time to make new games.

When he walked into the office, most of the senior figures from Lingmei Studio were present and discussing something.

Today's Lingmei Studio is no longer the grassroots team it used to be. Calling them all together, there is simply no room for them in one office. Therefore, Lin Muchen only called a few people for this meeting to arrange the new game.

"What did you say?" Lin Muchen asked curiously.

"We are discussing what type of game Young Master will be," Lu Luoxin replied. "We are also brainstorming to see if we can come up with new ideas and try to make the game ourselves. After all, we can't always rely on you - this

You said it yourself."

Lin Muchen nodded, happy to see that they can think independently, which is what he has always asked for.

After all, the games in his head will run out sooner or later, and creativity is endless.

Although you don’t need to worry about this problem in the short term, there is nothing wrong with ensuring the team’s creativity.

Lin Muchen coughed lightly, causing everyone to focus on him.
