There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 519 The Prisoner's Dilemma and the Big Mac

  Hear what Hawkins said.

  Frank was silent for a long time, and in the end he just replied: "There is an old saying in the East, which is to respond to all changes with the same."

   "Shit! You don't want to betray me again, do you? Have you contacted Linmu Studio? Do you want to talk to them!?"

  Hawkins was furious when he heard this, approached step by step, and questioned him directly.

   "Don't spout blood, you are too sensitive."

  Frank heard him say this, immediately stood up, loudly denied.

  In fact, both of them knew it well.

   Both of them retreated a bit...

no way.

   A "Call of Duty" directly interrupted the development momentum of Gameplayer, and at the same time established an absolute advantage for the Vaporwave game platform.

  Such a game, coupled with the advantages of the Vaporwave game platform’s first operation, coupled with factors such as the community and creative workshops, players almost voted with their feet.

  Gameplayer is now sending games, but players will understand, and there are many players playing.

  But in the end, players will still return to the Vaporwave game platform...

   This is a very grueling process.

   But this is not the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

  If you are willing to continue to burn money and slowly cultivate players in the future, it is indeed possible to split the world with the Vaporwave game platform.

   Investors are also confident.

   After all, the successful example of the Vaporwave game platform is there.

  However, a carnival directly destroyed the confidence of investors and the two helmsmen.

  Limwood Studios also has a lot of games.

   Lots of great games.

  They can also throw the entire gaming community into a frenzy with an event.

How to do?

  After this question surfaced.

   Immediately followed by depressed emotions and thoughts of retreating.

  How about... Let’s go back to the Vaporwave game platform.

  That's pretty good too, isn't it?

  Each game can sell an additional two to three million copies.

   This is also money.

  With this idea, it was out of control.

   This is also the reason why Fantasy Land and Gilber Company contacted Linmu Studio to discuss the sharing again.

  In fact, although the two are secretly talking.

   But both Frank and Hawkins are convinced that the other party should have done the same thing!

  So this time, both of them broke out.

   "How dare you say you didn't contact Linmu Studio!"

  Hawkins also let go, staring at Frank.

"No!"

  Frank frowned: "And we are now discussing what Gameplayer is going to do after the release of "Diablo"! Instead of attacking each other!"

   "Then what do you say? Be a turtle without moving?" Hawkins raised his voice.

"What are you being a tortoise! ​​It's the same thing that changes! Why are you so nervous, "Diablo" hasn't been released yet! Who knows what will happen? Besides, a game can't affect too many things, let alone a A double-logged game."

  Frank explained: "What if? What if their game is mediocre? You must know that "Monster Hunter" doesn't sell well in Europe and America..."

"enough!"

Hawkins interrupted the opponent directly, almost vomiting blood: "You say that every time! You feel that way every time! Every time you think the opponent's game is average! But every time you are crushed by the opponent! When did you predict Right? FUCK!"

   Say it.

  He turned and left angrily.

  Leaving the awkward Frank alone.

Then.

   Wait for Hawkins to leave.

  Frank slowly came to his senses, with an angry look on his face.

   The two broke up unhappy.

  Gameplayer has also reached the edge of the cliff in a real sense.

   Today.

  Linmu Studio received another call from two companies.

  Although it is not the contact between Frank and Hawkins, the meaning is the same as last time.

  You reduce the share, I will come back...

   It's just more obvious than it was hinted at last time.

  But Mu Wanqing reported the matter to Empress Lin Yao.

  Lin Yao directly replied, don't pay attention.

   Then go about your own business.

  Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie are really reliable. The mobile phone factory they acquired was originally thought to be an ordinary company that was about to go bankrupt, but after Lin Yao received the due diligence report, she found... there was an unexpected surprise.

  So she can't care about Gameplayer for now.

tell you later!

  …

   "The other party still refused? Didn't even leave room for discussion?"

  Frank heard the report from his subordinates.

   Startled slightly.

  Geber Company is also a big developer and distributor at the same level as Linmu Studio, let alone other things.

  There are only a bunch of well-known IPs. There are more than 25 games under development under its banner, in the two fields of gun car ball and car ball, and it is almost one of the best leading brothers.

  The only thing that can compete with them in these two fields is Dreamland.

   Not even talking?

   Directly refuse?

   Is it too arrogant?

   Our game is that unimportant?

   "Yes." The subordinate didn't say much, and gave a definite reply directly.

"FUCK, don't worry about it! Let them continue to be stubborn! Directly announce that the games of Gilbert will never be released on the Vaporwave game platform in the future! All the games released at the carnival are console-side! "Diablo" hasn't been released yet! I think Are you invincible?"

  Frank also got angry.

   Besides, it is also Europe and the United States.

  Where did you get this kind of anger.

  Although the sales volume has decreased a lot without logging into the Vaporwave game platform, it is not impossible to sell. There are two fields of car and ball, players still have to come to Gameplayer if they want to play!

   Don’t go to Gameplayer, can you go to the Vaporwave game platform to play?

   Unless the game of Dreamland lands on the Vaporwave game platform...

and many more.

  Fantasy Land!

"it is good."

the other side.

  When the subordinates heard the order, they turned around and left, acting resolutely.

   "Stop for me."

   But the next second.

Frank stopped him abruptly: "Don't post the announcement, go to the fantasy country and post it again, and then don't mention the game of the Gilbert company, post it in the name of Gameplayer. In addition, even if the announcement is issued, continue to contact Lin Mu room."

  Subordinate: "?"

   Very confused, with a question mark at the end.

but.

  He didn't ask much, anyway, he was just working part-time.

   Finally just nodded, then turned and left the office.

   Today.

  Dreamland readily agreed to Frank's proposal.

   Then, Gameplayer made an announcement without stopping.

  The general idea is that... Players don’t have to worry, all games under Gameplayer will never land on the Vaporwave game platform!

  This announcement is very worded, but to the players, it is actually quite nonsensical.

  Why did you suddenly post this announcement?

  Linmu Studio didn't say anything...

but.

  Many players who like car and ball games are really relieved to see this announcement.

  With the rise of the Vaporwave game platform, game accounts with multiple games have also become virtual property and become more important.

  Ordinary players, because of the strong performance of the Vaporwave game platform, mostly buy games on the Vaporwave game platform, unless the game they are interested in is not logged in.

  But there are also people who mainly buy games on Gameplayer. Seeing that the Vaporwave game platform is getting stronger and stronger, they are really afraid that the former will suddenly stop working one day.

   Then I really cried and didn’t know where to cry.

   Now that this announcement is issued, it also makes them feel at ease.

but.

   What they don't know is.

   Not even ten minutes after the announcement was made.

  The call from Gilbert Company and Dreamland reached Linmu Studio...

   It made the staff of Linmu Studio very confused.

no.

  Didn't you say that the game will never land on the Vaporwave game platform?

  I have finished writing the report to Lin Yao, are you here to contact me now?

  What kind of crazy!

   But complaints belong to complaints.

  They also replied to them according to Lin Yao's answer very seriously.

   To put it simply, the Vaporwave game platform game commission will not change for the time being, and it has nothing to do with you.

   Originally, I thought it was over for this part of the reply.

   But the staff did not expect that the other party still did not give up, but did not continue to hint about the share, but began to insinuate and ask if Dreamland/Geber Company had reached an agreement with Linmu Studio...

  Staff of Forest Studio: "???"

  …

  The game circle is very lively.

   Especially after the Gameplayer announcement.

  Most players think that the two game platforms are going to fight again...

   In private, the game between Dreamland and Gilber Company under the prisoner's dilemma also added a lot of talk inside Linmu Studio.

   But these have nothing to do with Lin Yao.

  The release date of "Diablo" is certain, and there is no big problem for the time being.

  She temporarily left the game behind.

   Taking advantage of the time before the game was released, I went to the acquired mobile phone factory.

   Although the acquisition has not been officially completed, but the dust has settled.

   After all, this technology limited liability company called YouMedia, with mobile phones and hardware as its core, really can't survive.

  Lin Xi and Zhang Youjie talked about the acquisition.

   Today.

  YouMedia held a special board meeting.

   The acquisition plan was quickly passed.

  Although it took two days to bargain, the speed was really fast, as if the other party couldn't wait to throw away the hot potato in their hands.

   And when Lin Yao went to this UMedia Technology Co., Ltd.

  Although the acquisition has not been officially completed, the boss of this company is still very polite, even a little too polite.

   It seemed that he was afraid that Lin Yao would not buy it.

  After learning that Lin Yao is coming.

   personally ran to the door to greet him.

"welcome!"

  YouMedia's boss is a rich man in his early fifties, with a beer belly, a Chinese character face, and a kind smile on his face. His name is Li Qianxi.

   "Actually, it doesn't need to be like this, I just took a look."

  Lin Yao looked at Li Qianxi, quite unexpectedly.

  Although according to the data, YouMedia has undergone three mergers, with many internal factions and several sub-brands competing with each other.

  But for Li Qianxi, who is the chairman of the board, he must have some emotions in order to start a good media.

   This look of eagerness to complete the acquisition immediately... is indeed a bit strange.

   "No, this is what I should do." Li Qianxi shook her head, with a smile still on her face.

beside.

  When Mu Wanqing heard what the other party said, she knew that Lin Yao didn't like such a scene.

   took the initiative to take a step forward.

   began to greet each other.

   Then, start the business exchange.

   Not right.

   It should be Li Qianxi touting that Linmu Studio is awesome.

   And Mu Wanqing is picking on faults, picking on the faults of high-quality media...

all in all.

  Thousands of words can be combined into one sentence—I feel that Youmedia is not worth 700 million, and I look like I have to talk about it again.

  As Mu Wanqing's words gradually increased.

  The smile on Li Qianxi's face gradually froze. Looking at Yu Jie, who was about the same age as her own daughter, she realized that she had met an opponent.

but.

   Mu Wanqing just didn't want Lin Yao to be disturbed, but she didn't continue to pursue the victory. After Li Qianxi said that the acquisition plan had been confirmed, she gave up.

   "...I'll ask my secretary to show you around. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

   Sure enough.

  Li Qianxi was probably intimidated by Mu Wanqing's aura of resuming the conversation, so in the end she didn't insist on accompanying Lin Yao to visit, but asked the secretary to go.

  Then, the secretary standing behind Li Qianxi also took the initiative to take a step forward, and began to lead Lin Yao, Mu Wanqing and two other staff members into Youmedia.

  Li Qianxi saw that Mu Wanqing did not hold on to the price before discussing this point.

   breathed a sigh of relief.

   After finally meeting someone who was taken advantage of, he was really afraid that the other party would run away...

   "Boss, it's not necessary, so low profile."

beside.

  Li Qianxi's nephew, Li Jian, who is also the deputy general manager of UMedia, looked at Mu Wanqing's back, feeling a little uncomfortable.

   After all, just now Mu Wanqing almost demoted the excellent media to nothing!

   "You find another company that is willing to take over Youmedia, and let me take the money and leave, so I don't have to humble myself like this."

  Li Qianxi glanced at his nephew, and said coldly: "As long as the purchase price is not lower than the purchase price given by Linmu Studio, I will be humble to you."

   "..."

  Li Jian immediately felt embarrassed.

  YouMedia's mobile phone market share is only 1%.

  This poor market share has four sub-brands.

  The brand has no great value, and the interior is like a quagmire.

  Plus there are no mainstream patents that can be obtained.

   Also invested a lot of money to study what new operating system, but it failed miserably.

   value is really low...

  It is lower than the hammer of Lin Yao's previous life.

  The only worthwhile thing is probably the self-built assembly plant.

   Li Jian, a high-level executive and colleagues in Youmedia, knows this better than anyone else, so let alone 700 million, whether he can find a buyer is a problem.

   "So don't talk so much nonsense if you don't have the skills!"

Li Qianxi glared at his nephew: "Finally met someone wronged...Your honor! Don't talk so much, and tell your people to be smart and brag about our research lab! Settle the matter as soon as possible, Don't let the other party go back on their word at that time!"

   "I see, I have already arranged it before." Li Jian replied in a low voice.

  Li Qianxi stopped talking and breathed a sigh of relief again.

  Finally, someone took over.

  Actually, he himself doesn’t think that the current premium media is worth 700 million. If it was four or five years ago, he would have dared to talk about 7 billion, but now... there is really no hope.

   Now take the money and leave, and make a comeback, that is the best result.

   Fortunately, I met a young and ignorant person who took advantage of me.

   Good luck.

  Looking at Lin Yao's back, Li Qianxi finally couldn't help laughing.

  Young people are easy to deceive.

the other side.

   "You are quite mean-spirited, Ms. Mu."

  Lin Yao looked back at Mu Wanqing, a little funny.

  Just now, Mu Wanqing talked so loudly that almost made Li Qianxi sweat.

   "It's really what I said just now, Lin Yao, this company, except for the self-built assembly plant, is a bit valuable, the whole company really has no advantages compared to other peers."

  Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly: "It feels too much."

   "Not much, no matter how low they are, they will definitely not want it. If Lin Xi and Uncle Zhang's reports are not adulterated, they might even earn blood."

  When Lin Yao heard this, she smiled slightly, showing a strange expression.

   "Mr. Lin, Mr. Mu, shall I take you to visit the Kaishan Research Laboratory first?"

  The secretary walking in front had a strange expression when he heard Lin Yao's words.

   But didn't say much.

   Instead, he spoke directly, wanting to lead Lin Yao to visit the 'Kaishan Research Laboratory'.

"it is good."

  Lin Yao put her hands behind her back and smiled innocently, looking very happy.

  This Kaishan research laboratory.

   It is the confidence of Youmedia to ask for 700 million yuan.

  As for what the Kaishan research laboratory is researching.

   It's funny to say.

system.

Yes.

  A brand new system that is said to be compatible with all touch screen phones.

  YouMedia is not a company. During its development, it merged twice.

  This has led to a sudden increase in their brands, with mixed products and no uniform standards.

  The troubles brought about by the merger are far more than this, and the merger also brings factional disputes.

YouMedia and the senior executives of the two merged companies were fighting each other, and no one was convinced. Then Li Qianxi listened to an engineer's suggestion. Since seven years ago, he felt that touch-screen mobile phones are the future, so he wanted to start with the mobile phone system and integrate the entire system. The company is twisted into one rope.

  They spent a lot of money to develop an operating system based on Youmedia's best-selling mobile phone based on existing open source resources.

   I want to end the problem of no internal standard.

  However, they obviously underestimated the complexity of the system development project and the consumption of time, manpower and material resources.

  They can't figure it out.

   After spending seven years, only a semi-finished product was produced.

   This semi-finished product is finally on the market.

   And the result can be imagined.

  First of all, the ecology is completely incompatible, resulting in very few third parties willing to adapt.

   This directly led to the fact that their mobile phones equipped with the new system were basically bricks... 20,000 units were sold.

  The future of touch-screen mobile phones imagined by Li Qianxi has not come yet. They have no way to promote the system, let the market accept it, and establish an ecology.

  In the end, with the gradual escalation of Youmedia's internal fighting, the company as a whole began to decline and lost ground in the competition.

   This mobile phone manufacturer, which could have been ranked among the top ten in China, has reached a new low in market share, and its revenue has also begun to fall off a cliff.

In this situation.

  Continuing to develop any operating system is just a dream.

   It was even rumored that Li Qianxi himself said that this was the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life.

  As Youmedia fell to the bottom, system-related investment was also suspended, the person in charge resigned, and system development that required long-term investment was stillborn.

but.

   Probably felt that the cost of investing in this thing was too high, and they were unwilling to give up just like that, so they still kept a team of more than 50 people and maintained basic updates.

  Li Qianxi's idea is also very simple, it is to use this as a selling point to sell the excellent media at a good price.

only.

   No one is interested.

  Because of the current mobile operating system field.

  Although there are many kinds.

   But the father is the same.

   That is the operating system named Jiaming.

  The developer of this operating system is a joint venture platform company composed of two overseas and two domestic mobile phone leaders.

  The Jiaming operating system is basically compatible with all mainstream mobile phone models.

   All manufacturers using the system form an alliance.

   This is the famous Jiaming Alliance.

   This is a Big Mac.

  Who tm is thankless, what new operating system to buy, can you beat Jiaming?

so.

  You media has always been ignored.

but.

  Lin Yao is interested.

   I am not interested in Youmedia, but mainly in their operating system.

  Of course, their operating system has a lot of problems, a lot of problems, and many functions that Lin Yao took for granted in her previous life, there is not even a shadow.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a semi-finished product.

   Otherwise, you wouldn't sell yourself for 700 million.

   But… it smells of Android, yes, Android.

   And with this feeling, it is really hard not to let her think of Symbian and Android, which were in full swing at that time.

  So she plans to try, let the switch team join in, and then invest money to see if it can be revitalized. If not, she turns around and joins the Jiaming Alliance! Let's bow!

   But if you can.

   Then it will be fun.

  After all, this is not Lin Yao's previous life.

  Android and IOS are divided into two parts.

  The Jiaming system currently used by the Jiaming Alliance... Lin Yao can guarantee that if the mobile phone develops as it did in the previous life, it will definitely not keep up with the times.

  After all, installing a software and checking the supported mobile phone models one by one, who can stand it.

  When the old and the new alternate.

   It always takes someone to break the old rules.

  Linmu Studio has a healthy cash flow and a good relationship with Reflecta. What if it is you who broke the old rules?

  Lin Yao is actually betting on the future.

  After all, Linmu Studio entered the mobile phone market, and the worst result of burning money was nothing more than making a mobile phone dedicated to playing Linmu Studio games.

  She can still bear the consequences.

certainly.

  Specifically, we still need to get started with the operating system developed by UMedia.

  If it does not meet expectations.

  Linmu Studio's first mobile phone, Lin Yao is willing to gamble on system rewards, or join Jiaming Alliance.

   At most, optimize it on the basis of Jiaming system to make it more suitable for the full screen.

soon.

  Led by Secretary Li Qianxi, Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing came to YouMedia's most valuable "Kaishan Research Laboratory" department.

  The person in charge has been waiting at the door for a long time, and seems to have received the news.

  The person in charge is Li Qi, who looks about forty-five or sixteen. It is said that he has been in the Kaishan research laboratory for ten years, and he led the development of the entire system.

  When he saw Lin Yao, he was very enthusiastic.

   After all, Lin Yao will be the new boss next. Whether she can get the funds and whether she will be laid off depends on the boss.

   And he is different from Li Qianxi, he still believes that the self-developed system has great potential!

  It's just that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

  Now I see one with rice, very excited.

   "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so young, so beautiful, just like..."

"stop."

  Lin Yao suddenly gave a shock and interrupted him.

  Science and engineering students' compliments are really disgusting.

  I also use metaphors, so blunt...

   "You don't need to talk, please let me try the mobile phone system you developed." Lin Yao said directly.

"it is good."

  Li Qi is also not good at complimenting others, and when he heard Lin Yao get straight to the point, he smiled embarrassingly.

  He took Lin Yao directly to the conference room and handed a prototype to Lin Yao.

  At the same time, another prototype was placed on the table.

"Mr. Lin, what you have in your hand is the latest mobile phone equipped with our Kaishan system, but because of Mr. Li's request, most of the functions in it are imitating Jiaming... If you want to experience the original Kaishan system, I recommend using this phone .”

"Oh?"

  Lin Yao showed an interested expression, immediately put down the prototype in her hand, and turned to pick up another one.

  Li Qi was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

  Not interested in imitating Jiaming?

   Is it boring to pave the way for chapters...

  (end of this chapter)
