There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 519 The Prisoner's Dilemma and the Big Mac
Hear what Hawkins said.

Frank was silent for a long time, and finally 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 negotiate peace with them!?"

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

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

When Frank heard him say this, he immediately stood up and denied it loudly.

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 Game players, 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.

Game players are now giving away games, but players will understand, and there are many players who play.

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

It's a grueling process.

But that wasn't the last straw that broke 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 divide the world with the Vaporwave game platform.

Investors are also confident.

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

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

Forest Studio also has a lot of games.

Lots of great games.

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

How to do?
After this problem surfaced.

Frustrated emotions and thoughts of retreating followed.

Or... let's go back to the Vaporwave game platform.

That's good too, isn't it?

Each game can also sell an additional 300 million copies.

This is also money.

Together with this idea, it was out of control.

This is also the reason why Dreamland and Gilber contacted Linmu Studio to discuss the share again.

In fact, although the two talked secretly.

But both Frank and Hawkins are convinced that the other should have done the same!
So this time, both of them broke out.

"How dare you say that you didn't contact Lin Mu Studio!"

Hawkins let go too, staring at Frank.

"no!"

Frank frowned and said, "And what we're discussing now is what game players plan 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.

After Hawkins left.

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

The two broke up unhappy.

In a real sense, Game player has reached the edge of a cliff.

The day.

Linmu Studio received another call from two companies.

Although it's not a connection 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 talk to me.

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 take care of the game player for the time being.

tell you later!

……

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

Frank heard the report from his subordinates.

Slightly startled.

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

There are only a bunch of well-known IPs, and there are more than 25 games under development under the 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.

Do not talk about it?

Reject directly?

Is it too arrogant?
Is our game 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 Europe and the United States.

Where did I get this kind of anger.

Although not logging into the Vaporwave game platform, the sales volume is much lower, but it is not impossible to sell.There are two fields of car and ball, players still have to come to Game player if they want to play!

Can it be played on the Vaporwave game platform instead of Game player?

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

and many more.

Dreamland!

"it is good."

the other side.

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

"Stop for me."

But 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 Gilber company, post it in the name of Game Player. In addition, even if the announcement is made, continue to contact Lin Mu studio."

subordinate:"?"

Very puzzled, a question mark at the end.

but.

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

In the end, he just nodded and turned to leave the office.

The day.

Dreamland readily agreed to Frank's proposal.

Then, the game player made an announcement without stopping.

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

The wording of this announcement is very fierce, but to the players, it is actually quite nonsensical.

Why did you suddenly post this announcement?

Lin Mu 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.

As for ordinary players, because of the strong performance of the Vaporwave game platform, most of them 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 Game Player. Seeing that the Vaporwave game platform is getting stronger and stronger, they are really afraid that one day the former will suddenly stop working.

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 10 minutes after the announcement was made.

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

It made the staff of Linmu Studio very puzzled.

no.

Didn't you say that games will never land on the Vaporwave gaming platform?
I have finished writing the report to Lin Yao, are you here to contact me now?

What kind of neurosis!
But Tucao is Tucao.

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.

I thought it was over when I replied to this part.

But the staff didn't expect that the other party still didn't give up. They just didn't continue to hint about the sharing, but began to insinuate and ask whether Dreamland/Giber Company had reached an agreement with Linmu Studio...

The staff of Linmu Studio: "???"

……

The game circle is very lively.

Especially after the game player made the 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 a certainty, and there is no big problem for the time being.

She temporarily left the game behind.

Taking advantage of the period before the game's release, I went to the acquired mobile phone factory.

Although the acquisition has not yet 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.

The day.

YouMedia held a special meeting of directors.

The acquisition plan was quickly passed.

Although it took two days to bargain during the period, 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.

He ran to the door to greet him in person.

"welcome!"

The boss of YouMedia is a rich man in his early 50s, 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 surprised by this.

Although according to the data, Youmedia has undergone three mergers, with many internal factions and several sub-brands competing with each other, and the bottom-level staff can't talk about any sense of identity with the company.

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

This look of impatiently wishing 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.

next to.

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

He took the initiative to take a step forward.

Started to greet each other.

Then, start the business exchange.

wrong.

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

And Mu Wanqing was picking on the faults, picking on the faults of the excellent media...

all in all.

Thousands of words can be summed up into one sentence - I feel that Youmedia is not worth [-] 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 her opponent.

but.

Mu Wanqing just didn't want Lin Yao to be disturbed, but she didn't continue to chase after 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."

really.

Perhaps Li Qianxi was intimidated by Mu Wanqing's aura of wanting to talk again, so in the end he 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 didn't hold on to the price before discussing this point.

relieved.

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

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

next to.

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, Mu Wanqing just 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.

In addition, there are no mainstream patents that can be obtained.

A large sum of money was also invested in researching a new operating system, but it failed miserably.

The value is really low...

It is lower than Lin Yao's hammer in her previous life.

The only thing worth some money 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 [-] 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: "It's hard to meet someone who has been wronged... a nobleman! Don't talk so much, and let your people be smarter and brag about the research room we built! 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.

In fact, he himself doesn't think that the current premium media is worth 70 million. If it was four or five years ago, he would have dared to talk about [-] 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.

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

Young people are easy to deceive.

the other side.

"You're quite mean-spirited, Miss Mu."

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

Just now, Mu Wanqing spoke out loud, almost making Li Qianxi sweat.

"It's really from my heart just now, Lin Yao, this company, apart from the value of the self-built assembly plant, the whole company really has no advantages compared to other peers."

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

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

Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled lightly, showing a strange expression.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Mu, shall I take you to visit the Kaishan Research Office 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 Office'.

"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 [-] 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 led to a sudden increase in their brands, with mixed good and bad, 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 use this to end the problem of no internal standards.

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

They can't do it.

After investing seven years, only a semi-finished product was finally 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... [-] units were sold.

However, the future of touch-screen mobile phones imagined by Li Qianxi has not come for a long time. 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.

To continue 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.

And 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 aborted.

but.

Probably because they 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, he intends to use this as a selling point to sell the excellent media at a good price.

just.

No one is interested.

Because of the current field of mobile phone operating systems.

Although very diverse.

But the father is the same.

That is the operating system called 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 giant.

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

and so.

Youmedia has always been ignored.

but.

Lin Yao was interested.

I'm 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 [-] million.

But... it smells of Android, yes, Android.

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

So she decided to try, let the switch team join in, and then invest money to see if it can be revitalized, if not, she turned around and joined the Jiaming Alliance!Let's bow!

But if you can.

That would be fun.

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

Android and IOS are divided into two worlds.

The Jiaming system currently used by the Jiaming Alliance... Lin Yao can guarantee that if the mobile phone develops like 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 bear it.

When the old and the new alternate.

There is always going to be a need for 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, when Linmu Studio entered the mobile phone market, 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.

of course.

Specifically, you still have to get started with the operating system developed by Youmedia.

If it does not meet expectations.

For the first mobile phone of Linmu Studio, Lin Yao would rather bet on system rewards, or join the Jiaming Alliance.

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

soon.

Under the leadership of Secretary Li Qianxi, Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing came to YouMedia's most valuable "Kaishan Research Office" department.

The person in charge had already been waiting at the door, and seemed to have received the news.

The person in charge is Li Qi, who looks 45-[-]. It is said that he has been in the Kaishan research laboratory for ten years, and he is the one who 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 it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Now I see one with rice, very excited.

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

"stop."

Lin Yao jerked violently and interrupted him.

It's really nasty for science and engineering students to praise people.

Still using metaphors, so blunt...

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

"it is good."

Li Qi was also not good at complimenting others, so 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 hands is the latest mobile phone equipped with our Kaishan system, but because of Mr. Li's request, most of the functions in it are imitated from Jiaming... If you want to experience the original Kaishan system, I recommend using this phone. cell 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?

　Isn't the preparatory chapter boring...
