Chapter 149 You are not qualified to participate in this meeting
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "I am contacting European and American game manufacturers to make some noise with them to give the Koreans a little shock."
" European and American manufacturers?" Chen Peng thought about it and said with some doubts, "Are you going to introduce online games from European and American manufacturers?"
"They have stronger production capabilities than Korean game manufacturers, so we are afraid that these tigers will come in. Even better than the Koreans later.”
Qin Shaoyan chuckled, “Brother Chen, you don’t have to worry about this.”
"The major European and American manufacturers have strong R&D capabilities in the field of stand-alone games. They are also novices in the field of online game R&D, and are not necessarily better than Koreans."
"And these manufacturers have stayed in their comfort zone for too long. , they may not have any ideas about online games.”
“Even if you want to make online games, you must first explore and accumulate technology, develop the project with the efficiency of European and American manufacturers, and then the finished product will not be ready for four to five years, and they will still have to face the acclimatization. There is also the problem of cultural differences.”
“The day lily has become cold after such a long time. Besides, it will not take three or four years for domestic game manufacturers to improve their R&D level, and they may not be able to fight. . ”
“Take Korean online games as an example. They only started to be industrialized in 1998, and they have conquered cities and territories in East Asia in just a few years. ”
"Given our size, our funds and talents are several orders of magnitude higher than those of the Koreans, and our R&D technology will improve faster than them."
"What's more, we also have an audit mechanism as the last line of defense."
Chen Peng coughed awkwardly, but he also relaxed in his heart.
Well, Qin Shaoyan is right.
"Hollywood is so powerful, why don't we let it in too." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "These game manufacturers in Europe and the United States are just paper tigers in the field of online games. They look strong, but they are just like that."
Chen Peng thought for a while, "I'll report to the leader first."
"Thank you, Brother Chen. If possible, you'd better come to Seattle." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Look Look at these game manufacturers in Europe and the United States."
"Okay, wait for my news." Chen Peng hung up the phone after saying that.
Qin Shaoyan put down his phone with a smile, and then reviewed the plan again.
V is now our ally and will actively cooperate.
As long as the publisher doesn't express any obvious objection, it doesn't matter even if it remains silent.
The rest depends on the reaction of European and American manufacturers. In fact, this is the most difficult part.
Speaking of European and American manufacturers, here are all American game manufacturers except Ubisoft.
American game manufacturers have stayed in the comfort zone of stand-alone games for too long, and there is not much motivation to get out of the circle.
Game consoles are particularly common in the European and American game markets, with a stable player base and purchasing power.
With the development of technology, multiplayer game modes in stand-alone games have also developed rapidly, making up for the lack of social interaction in stand-alone games.
Instead of going into an unfamiliar online game field, it is better to do a good job in the multiplayer game part.
Excellent multiplayer game content will also occupy players' energy and time, leaving them no time to try online games with the same theme.
More than ten years later, the online game market has developed to a very large scale. It has become very difficult for these European and American manufacturers to enter. They can only sell IP and make a lot of money.
But to Qin Shaoyan, it doesn’t matter whether European and American manufacturers cooperate or not.
They work well together to achieve the best possible outcome of their plans.
Even if the plan does not succeed, it would be good to scare the Korean online game company.
And Qin Shaoyan is not just firing cannons. Next year's "World of Warcraft" will teach Koreans a hard lesson.
……
The next day.
Representatives from Nexon got up early in the morning and hurried to Valve.
Because of yesterday's accident, several people looked ugly and cursed along the way.
I was arrested by the police for no apparent reason in the early hours of the morning. I was detained in the police station for a long time before being released. From the beginning to the end, no one knew what was going on.
Arrived downstairs at V Company, several people found that there seemed to be a lot more cars, and it was more difficult to find a parking space than the day before.
After circling for a long time, the driver parked the car. Jin Canzhen, the director of Nexon who led the team, kicked the car angrily, "Assi! What are those Americans doing! Why is no one here to greet us today?" ”
Several other people saw that their boss looked unhappy, so they all agreed and accused the Americans of being rude. As soon as the elevator door where Jin Canzhen and the others were riding opened, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a lot more people in V Agency today.
Three or five groups of people gathered together, chatting enthusiastically, and new people kept arriving, greeting each other warmly.
After Jin Canzhen listened for a while, he was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back.
“Microsoft, Ubisoft, and EA...”
His assistant's eyes widened in horror, and he stood timidly behind Jin Canzhen, stammering: "They are all from big European and American game companies."
"Asi, So what, our Nexon company is also a world-class gaming company, not inferior to their Smecta!" Jin Canzhen started to teach his assistant.
As long as there are Koreans present, any occasion will become very noisy and lack of quality.
Hearing Jin Canzhen's roar, other game company representatives around him all cast surprised glances and frowned.
Jin Canzhen felt that he was very proud, with a arrogant expression.
After a few minutes, George walked out with a smile and said hello to the representatives of each company, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the conference room."
George started, and representatives from the game companies came one after another. Followed.
Jin Canzhen was stunned for a moment, looked around, and hurriedly followed the other representatives in.
When the Korean walked into the conference room, he looked up and saw an Asian standing next to the main seat.
Representatives from other companies walked over and greeted each other, shook hands enthusiastically and exchanged a few words.
Jin Canzhen frowned, "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
Others shook their heads, and Jin Canzhen's assistant had an idea, "Looking at how popular he is, he must be a famous game designer in Korea. Well, could it be someone from NCsoft?"
"No." Jin Canzhen shook his head, "I know all those famous designers, but this person looks strange."
While they were whispering, George picked up the microphone and said, "Please sit down, everyone, our meeting will start soon."
Jin Canzhen was just about to find a place to sit down when he suddenly found a chair in the conference room There were labels from various companies on them. They looked around but couldn't find the Nexon logo.
Just when their faces were full of astonishment, the Asian sitting in the main seat picked up the microphone and said lightly: "Which company do you belong to?"
Jin Can puffed up his chest and said loudly: "We are Nexon of the Republic of Korea. The representative of the company, Smecta!"
Unexpectedly, the other party responded very coldly, "Korean people go out."
Jin Canzhen was shocked and angry, and protested loudly: "Asi, why do you let me go? Are we going out?"
"We are all representatives of the best game companies in the world. You Koreans are not qualified to participate in this meeting." The other party sneered, "There is no place for you here, getout. ! ”
Jin Canzhen yelled angrily: "Who are you? Which company are you from? Why are you sitting here?"
"I am Qin Shaoyan, the initiator of this meeting." Qin Shaoyan smiled and looked at the other party incompetently and furiously , "I am the representative of Huaxia Game Company."
Huaxia? !
Jin Canzhen was confused for a moment. Why are there people from Huaxia Game Company here?
Before he could react, several sturdy security guards walked in, pushed Jin Canzhen and others out, and drove them outside the company door.
Jin Canzhen protested loudly: "We are partners of V agency. We are here for business negotiations, you bastards."
Soon a man came out of V agency and said with a cold face: "Newell The husband said that the negotiation is over and he will not cooperate with the Korean company. Get out of here!”
Jin Canzhen was stunned and didn’t understand what was going on.
In the conference room, Qin Shaoyan looked at other company representatives with a smile, "Okay, the troublemaker has left, let us officially start."
Amidst the laughter of everyone, Qin Shaoyan opened the PPT on the screen.
"At the beginning of today's meeting, I want to tell you about the Chinese game market."
"The Chinese game market is different from the three major markets of the United States, Europe, and Japan. Stand-alone games show a clear shrinking trend, while the online game market occupies The vast majority of the market share. ”
“From the perspective of market growth rate, the size of China’s online game market has increased eightfold in three years, reaching a scale of 300 million U.S. dollars. According to authoritative statistics departments, this growth rate is still high. It is accelerating."
"It is estimated that by 2008, the size of China's online game market will reach three billion US dollars."
The representatives of the game companies present were in an uproar and started discussing. .
