"I object, this price is too exaggerated. If you accept it, once a loss occurs, it will cause a very serious blow to us!"

As expected, as soon as I said it, I received a very fierce reaction.

After Arnold learned about the psychological price of "Steam Ming" in Shenghai, he had no choice but to make a decision.

After returning to his North American headquarters, he immediately held a high-level meeting to discuss matters about the "Steam Ming Dynasty".

After he told the conditions given by Ye Jiayi, the other senior leaders of Activision responded very strongly.

This price is too high.

You should know that once this condition is agreed, it is equivalent to Activision's cost of at least 200 million US dollars. And this amount of money is unnecessary to make a 3A-level work by itself, but in Weidu Entertainment, it can only obtain the agency rights?

With an agency bonus of 60 million, plus 160 million promotional and promotional, based on the current top masterpieces on the market of 60 US dollars, "Steam Ming Dynasty" will have to sell at least 11 million sets to allow Activision to recover the cost.

It's just about recovering the cost.

Moreover, this 10 million sets refer to sales in other parts of the world except mainland China.

If you can't sell it, you will lose money.

What is the concept of tens of millions of sets?

Many 3A-level games that can be considered very successful, but they cannot achieve this total sales result.

But just recovering the cost is definitely not possible. Who would be happy to have such a big investment?

Not to mention making a big profit like "Taiwu 2" and taking such a big risk, at least a few dozen percent of the rate of return, right?

If you want a better profit situation, you have to sell "Steam Ming" at least 14 million sets in the global market except China.

This is really too difficult.

Too much investment is very risky, and even if the standards are met, the high cost will greatly affect the yield... In this case, it is normal for Activision's senior management to fail to agree to this condition.

But there are also other concerns.

"It is said that EA is also closely connected with Weidu Entertainment. Once they make up their minds and are willing to pay so much money, there is no doubt that our old opponent will have another trump card in the hands of."

"So what? We can't afford this price, and EA can't afford it. It's a huge risk for us, but it's not for them? We can't take over this price. If they want to take it, they will get it. A crushing defeat will be enough to hurt their vitality."

There were many quarrels in the conference room.

Arnold didn't say much. He was obviously one of the highest-ranking people in the conference room, but he sat on the edge with his hands crossed his chin.

He was listening carefully to everyone, summarizing these opinions and thinking in his mind.

However, there were too many opinions and the conflicts between them were so great that it was difficult for him to think of a reliable solution for a while.

Or, the most important thing is that he is not sure of his own mind. [!ABC Novel Network     …￥ Novels are better and faster]

This is true until the meeting ends.

...

Two days later, during a cocktail party, he met an old acquaintance.

That is a management team responsible for commercial development from Blizzard Entertainment.

Speaking of the two, they are also through a group-under the name, Activision Blizzard.

After a private conversation for a while, the topic naturally turned to Weidu Entertainment.

And what the other party said made Arnold finally make up his mind.

"Weidu Entertainment is a company that is very good at creating miracles, and we are convinced. The film and television copyright of the "Warcraft" series, if we chose to ask for a little less copyright transfer fee and exchange it for a higher share ratio and investment ratio, now we can only watch this series make a lot of money."

He didn't say anything constructive, he was just a sentiment, but it inspired Arnold.

It was a bit like the feeling of clearing away the fog, and he made the final decision.

So far, Dimension Entertainment has not failed in its production, which is very trustworthy.

This time, when I went to Shenghai, China, to visit the headquarters of Weidu Entertainment, although I did not see the essence of the game, he also saw more game information provided by Weidu Entertainment and has not yet been disclosed. From these information, as a practitioner in the game industry, he could probably judge how good the work is - this is a game work.

Then why are you hesitating?

Even if the situation is the worst, all the 200 million investment is wasted and you can't get back a single point. Can you still lose all the money you made in "Taiwu 2"?

Impossible.

This is certainly a big gamble, but after careful thinking and analysis, the situation is not that exaggerated.

All considerations are based on the very good quality of the work "Steam Ming Dynasty". Even if the entire overseas market cannot sell so many, at least a few million copies will not be very problematic. Arnold is very confident in this regard, because since he wants to win the agency rights of this work, they of course conducted a detailed investigation of the market.

In this case, although there will be losses, it is not as big as imagined.

The advantage is that there will undoubtedly be another masterpiece in their hands, which is also very beneficial to Activision's own game camp.

This is still a bad situation.

Once "Steam Ming" completes a miracle like "Taigo 2", Activision will undoubtedly make a big profit.

After going home and thinking about it all night, Arnold finally made his own decision - even if it was a very expensive one, he could still win it!

After making up his mind, he announced his ideas at the company the next day, then looked for a group of people to lobby and communicated with the board of directors.

In addition, he also formed a corresponding negotiation team and flew to Shenghai to conduct related business negotiations with Weidu Entertainment.

Although Arnold has decided to accept the conditions of Weidu Entertainment, the price is still too expensive. If possible, he still hopes to negotiate the promotional budget and agency funds as much as possible.

However, judging from the news sent back by the negotiation team, Weidu Entertainment is very tight in this regard.
