Wu Jianhua's intuition is very accurate, and Wang FA is really unlucky.

But he couldn't figure out where Xu Qianshi's news came from.

The day after Mr. Xu had a talk with Wang FA, the head of the product department was replaced by the former second.

At the same time, Luo Xingtao, the head of alx studio, was taken away by the economic investigation. The studio itself was split and reorganized, and merged with another newly acquired studio, which is also engaged in FPS game development, to become the ax studio.

After listening to the player's suggestions, the newly established ax restarted the abandoned scheme in the "anti terrorism operation: Siege" project, and promised the player that it would add back the system that had been cut down in the subsequent update.

Although it's a bit late to say that now, a series of personnel changes within rice entertainment still give hope to many players who still haven't given up.

A similar situation is not without precedent in the game circle.

After being scolded by the players, those semi-finished products that rely on the picturesque cake to earn money on the shelves have finally changed their face after years of unremitting updating. They have changed from most of the dung works with poor reviews to classics with high reviews.

However, whether this ill fated FPS game really has a chance to wait until that day can only be witnessed by time.

"I fired the product manager."

Video phone.

Xu Qianshi said to Hao Yun in an apologetic voice.

Hearing this endless opening line, Hao Yun's face was a little surprised at first, but he soon reflected what was going on.

In order to keep the topic going, he asked knowingly.

"Oh? Why? "

Xu Qianshi continued.

"3C alliance is his idea. I apologize to you on behalf of rice entertainment for making Chenghai 3C an independent game without asking your permission."

Hearing this, Hao Yun smiles in his heart.

He did not think that Xu Qianshi was kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Even if you haven't seen the "3C alliance" plan, it's impossible for this project to be approved within rice entertainment and get enough budget without his signature.

Maybe the product manager does have the behavior of making assertions or concealing details, but more likely he will be taken out.

Since the whole project was not stopped out of moral concerns at that time, the sudden punishment of "relevant responsible persons" must not be due to conscience.

I'm afraid the so-called apology is superficial.

However, Hao Yun does not intend to challenge him on this matter.

It's meaningless, and it's not good for you.

What if you don't accept an apology?

Will Xu Qianshi cut himself off? As one of the electronics industry giants, will rice group punish the CEO of a subsidiary because of this trivial matter?

Not to mention, Xu Qianshi, who was born as a "legitimate" family, is not an ordinary CEO.

It is obviously exaggerating to use capital to describe the behavior of a single enterprise. However, if the board of directors of rice group is compared to a community of interests, Xu Qianshi is at least a member of this community of interests.

Unless it touches the core interests, it is impossible for him to be abandoned.

In contrast, a dispensable product manager and a game that is doomed to be a blockbuster are the things that can be abandoned at any time.

With that, Xu Qianshi stopped for a moment and said in a sincere tone.

"In order to show our sincerity, we plan to take the 3C alliance off the platform of e-fun."

After hearing this, Hao Yun asked without thinking.

"Why get off the shelf?"

Xu Qian Shi is slightly a Leng, in the heart very quickly a sink, the tone asks sincerely.

"Are you not satisfied with the way we handle it?"

"You misunderstood me. I'm not that narrow-minded person," Hao Yun continued, shaking his head with a smile. "But you've seen the chat record, and your employees humiliated me with 500000 yuan... Is my idea so cheap?"

Xu Qianshi was embarrassed and coughed.

"... I apologize to you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't apologize," Hao Yun shook his head and continued, "since your games have been made and sold to some players, even if you get off the shelves, it can't make up for my loss. The injured players are only those who have paid for the game and have passed the refund time limit."

"What do you want to do?"

Vaguely guessed the meaning of Hao Yun, Xu Qian Shi said without expression. What he didn't expect was that Hao Yun's answer was so simple and direct.

"It's easy. More money."

More, more money?

Xu Qianshi was slightly stunned, subconsciously blurted out.

"How much?"

"At least add a zero. Of course, it's just a simple authorization fee and out of court settlement fee, not including my publicity for you, "Hao Yun continued with a smile," what do you think? "

Xu Qianshi just thought for ten seconds and gave the answer.

"Deal."

Five million.

From the point of view of stop loss, this price is not unacceptable.

Moreover, even if dota is now in the spotlight, Chenghai 3C is not completely without player base.

Because of the copyright dispute, we couldn't publicize it in a big way. Now we can spend five million to buy the license, and we can publicize it in the name of Chenghai 3C

……

The copyright dispute between rice entertainment and cloud dream game has come to an end as both sides reach a settlement out of court. Although the melon eaters didn't see the scenes they liked, rice entertainment chose to bow down, which was beyond many people's expectation.

It's not the first time these big Internet companies have done something similar to creative plunder. Now I choose to bow my head, I think I'll kick on the steel plate.

Although this matter set off a lot of repercussions in the industry, it did not set off a big storm in the circle of players.

As for the reason, on the one hand, rice Entertainment's public relations deliberately deal with this matter coldly, and on the other hand, a more noteworthy thing has happened in the game circle recently.

On the last weekend of August, the final result of the selection of the top ten original works of the year of creative workshop was the final count of votes.

Not everyone expected, the ten selected works are basically Warcraft maps.

At the top of the list is DOTA, which has been in the limelight recently!

Many players for this map enthusiasm, even beyond the Warcraft game itself.

As early as before the competition, many players appealed to the official, hoping that cloud dream game could make this map into an independent game, saving them the time to enter the match.

In addition to DOTA, the shortlisted works include a series of works like Chenghai's great naval battle and cat and mouse's "farmers and demons".

In these shortlisted works, Hao Yun even saw many familiar shadows.

As for Chenghai 3C, Terran invincible, and guardian Athena, the three popular maps that have long dominated the top ten of the popularity list, Mr. Hao did not participate in the voting because he did not apply to participate in the activity.

The main reason why he did this was to give other map makers a little experience in the competition.

After all, with his own fame and the popularity of the map itself, if he really clicks the button to participate in the voting, the selection will be meaningless, and it will completely become his personal work exhibition.

Of course, Hao Yun didn't want to see such a situation

"I still don't understand why you want to sell the authorization of Chenghai 3C," Lin Jun said regretfully, standing in front of Hao Yun's desk. "Even if you don't plan to make it into an independent game, it's OK to cut a wave of leeks with this IP?"

For Lin Jun's question, Hao Yun made a concise answer.

"It's very simple, because this IP doesn't work. As for the leeks you said, whether you can cut them or not, even if you cut them, it's definitely not because of the IP of this game. "

"... what else could that be for?"

"Because of my name," Hao Yun sighed, "I'd better leave the immoral things to others. Let's do something that we can earn money standing up."

Lin Jun

Because my name is OK

Although it's reasonable to say so, it can only be said that it's Mr. Hao to speak such narcissistic words without changing his face.

Seeing that Lin Jun didn't continue to talk, Hao Yun changed the topic and continued.

"Not to mention Chenghai, there is something I want to ask you. How is the business of magic box culture? And Yunmeng villa. It's been more than half a year now. Is there any new progress

"There's not much progress in Yunmeng villa yet. Feng Tiancai just promised me that it would be completed before the end of the year. As for the magic box culture, I can't believe it. Just last month, our revenue from the blind box business exceeded that of the game business. If this trend continues, we may be able to split the blind box business and go public by this time next year. "

"Going public?" Hao Yun looked at Lin Jun and said, "blind box... Do you make so much money?"

"It's more than making money. I can't understand young people any more."

Lin Jun sighed, and the expression on his face was full of complexity.

Just as he didn't expect the rise of pork, this rapidly changing world is full of too many accidents. When he started the blind box business, he just wanted to sell around the game and make a little money to make the financial report of magic box culture better. Unexpectedly, it was not only the players of tribal conflicts who were buying the blind box, but also some people who had never played the game went to buy it.

After discovering this, he simply let magic box culture get rid of the label of tribal conflict in the blind box business and set up a subsidiary controlled by magic box culture to do this business alone.

As a result, it's only a few months, and the sidelines are almost catching up with the income of the main business

Sometimes Lin Jun is not even sure whether he has come to this step because of strength or luck.

Is there really a difference between the two?

In terms of results alone, it's really hard to define

"Do you remember our cooperation with Xialin group?"

Hearing these words, Hao Yun simply recalled for a few seconds, and then quickly recalled what happened a few months ago.

"You mean... The blind box machine?"

How much money does that make???

Lin Jun nodded and continued with mixed feelings.

"You may not believe it."

"In the past two months, we have opened 67 branches across the country..."
