Chapter 135 Agreement
Xiong Xiaoge was speechless by Qin Shaoyan’s series of rhetorical questions. Looking at the other party’s indignant look, he could only sigh, “Okay, Mr. Qin, let’s just forget that I was wrong, okay?”
"What do you mean you are wrong?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Wrong is wrong, right is right. I, Qin Shaoyan, am a principled and reasonable person."
"Mr. Xiong, your attitude is just right. There is no way to communicate.”
Fuck!
Xiong Xiaoge was angry, "Mr. Qin, then you have to let me know where I went wrong."
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "For the sake of being so sincere, Mr. Xiong, I will tell you." , how did you misunderstand me?"
"I'm all ears!" Xiong Xiaoge said with a serious face.
"Mr. Xiong, we have a strategic cooperation and promotion agreement with Penguin. Do you know this?" Qin Shaoyan asked rhetorically.
Xiong Xiaoge nodded. He knew this for sure. Qin Shaoyan had shown it to him before.
"For a price of three million, Penguin will promote the campus network for one year, including a package of framework agreements." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Xiong Xiaoge, "You have also invested in Penguin, and you should know how big the user base and traffic of Penguin are. Although I don’t know why you sold the Penguin shares again.”
Xiong Xiaoge coughed a few times and his face turned dark to the naked eye.
Qin Shaoyan continued, "Don't you think it's strange that Penguin is such a big company and does a full set of promotions, but only charges three million from the campus network?"
Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while, "It's really strange."
"Why is Penguin willing to give such a big discount? It's because we have other agreements."
"Other agreements?!" Xiong Xiaoge was suddenly surprised, and then asked alertly, "What agreements did you and Penguin sign? Why didn't you tell us before, did you sell out the interests of the campus network?"
"You don't have to worry about this. This agreement has nothing to do with the campus network." Qin Shaoyan said unhurriedly, "This can be regarded as a gentleman's agreement between us."
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, Curiously asked: "What kind of agreement is it?"
"This agreement is related to the game." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Penguin only received three million, that's because we signed a bundle to operate the game. Agreement."
"Game? Operation?" Xiong Xiaoge asked in confusion. "What's going on?"
As he spoke, Qin Shaoyan took out a contract from the safe and handed it to Xiong Xiaoge, "See it for yourself."
Xiong Xiaoge glanced at it briefly and quickly understood the contents of the contract.
The contract stipulates that once Qin Shaoyan’s game company obtains the authorization from Valve to develop the online game “Counter-Strike”, it must complete the development within three years.
And this online game can only be operated by Penguin and is not allowed to cooperate with other companies.
The content of the contract is very detailed, including the development time node. The development content shall not be less than 50% when it is launched. Penguin will not interfere in Qin Shaoyan’s negotiations with V agency.
If Penguin wants to fully ensure the stable operation of "Counter-Strike OL", it must invest a certain amount of resources, such as royalties and sharing agreements.
Of course, the above also includes the liquidated damages of both parties.
Xiong Xiaoge was silent after reading the contract and slowly returned the contract to Qin Shaoyan.
Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly, "Why am I working so hard to make games here? Is it not to fulfill my promise to Penguin as soon as possible so that they can do their best to promote the campus network."
< br>"Everything I do is for the campus network. Mr. Xiong, you criticize me indiscriminately, which is too much!"
Xiong Xiaoge felt a little ashamed and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, it's my fault. I apologize to you."
"There's no need to apologize." Qin Shaoyan said very generously, "You will be less likely to do this in the future." Just interfere with my work. "
Xiong Xiaoge was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly frowned, "Mr. Qin, I don't have to interfere, but you have to explain to me what the next step is for the campus network? "
"Didn't I tell you?" Qin Shaoyan replied simply, "First to the northeast, then to the southwest, and finally to the southeast."
"Wait until I finish the game project at hand."
"Then how long will you be busy with this project?" Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "More than a month, probably, after I finish participating in the American Games next month At the exhibition, my campus network will take action.”
Xiong Xiaoge reminded, “You won’t stop if you stop the opponent, but a lot of things will happen in a month.”
< br>Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Campus Network has taken 300 million from IDG and Sequoia, and the other opponents are not worth mentioning."
"Others are indeed not a threat, but don't forget Dazhong.com in the South. They have also raised 45 million US dollars." Xiong Xiaoge warned, "Once they complete the integration of the Southern University market, they will go north immediately."< br>
Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I am looking forward to the performance of Dazhong.com."
Xiong Xiaoge smiled, "Mr. Qin is very confident."
Qin Shaoyan asked in return Said: "Mr. Xiong, you can invest 100 million in the campus network. Don't you have confidence?"
"I also look forward to the performance of the campus network this year." Xiong Xiaoge stood up and suddenly said, "Mr. Qin Can you take me to see your game?”
"No problem." Qin Shaoyan suddenly became energetic, threw the contract with Penguin in his hand into the safe, and then kicked the door of the safe closed with his foot.
Xiong Xiaoge felt a little confused after seeing Qin Shaoyan's flowing movements.
Why does this guy seem not to pay attention to the contract at all? He is not trying to fool me with a fake thing, right?
However, Xiong Xiaoge did not ask him face to face and followed Qin Shaoyan to the workstation where the game team was without saying a word.
Looking at Qin Shaoyan’s enthusiastic demonstration of the game demo, Xiong Xiaoge also watched it carefully for a while.
Although he doesn't understand games, he thinks Qin Shaoyan should make this game.
Hey, don’t tell me, it’s really interesting.
After Xiong Xiaoge said goodbye, he sat in his car, thought for a while, took out his cell phone and called Ma Huateng.
After a few words of greeting as usual, Xiong Xiaoge asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ma, do you have a promotion agreement with the campus network?"
Ma Huateng was stunned and hesitated, "Xiong Sir, how did you know?”
"I invested 100 million in Campus Network. Qin Shaoyan, CEO of Campus Network, told me." Xiong Xiaoge asked, "Three million for one year's promotion."
"Uh, yes." Ma Huateng said simply. He admitted, and then warned, "Mr. Xiong, you have to keep it secret for us."
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense everywhere." Xiong Xiaoge continued to ask, "Why did Penguin give Such a favorable price for the campus network? "
"This..." Ma Huateng hesitated. Although the agreement he signed with Qin Shaoyan was not a secret agreement, the business cooperation information should still be kept confidential.
Seeing that Ma Huateng was silent, Xiong Xiaoge added, "It's probably because of that game."
"Ah?!" Ma Huateng was shocked, "Mr. Xiong, how did you know?"
Seeing Ma Huateng's reaction, Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief and was sure that Qin Shaoyan did not fool him with a fake contract.
"I saw Qin Shaoyan playing a shooting game today at his place." Xiong Xiaoge explained.
"Shooting game?!" Ma Huateng was surprised and delighted, and quickly asked, "Mr. Xiong, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"Yes." Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while, " Qin Shaoyan gave me a demonstration and found it quite exciting.”
"F*ck!" Ma Huateng cursed, and then said quickly, "Mr. Xiong, I have to hang up beforehand. Let's talk later."
Listening to the hang-up sound on the phone, Xiong Xiaoge frowned. .
Why do you get so excited when you talk about games?
Is this game that fun?
