The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 15 Video Game Copyright
On the evening of American time, Li Jianhui unexpectedly received a visit from George Ausford, manager of the public relations department of Atari Corporation.

Don't look at the Hong Kong Cube ushered in a good start in the daytime today. During the one-day exhibition, a total of 1745 orders were signed.

But compared with Atari, this is not on the table at all. For the games they exhibited today, any order for any game can crush Huihong Game Company.

There is no reputation, and the product has not passed the market test. Even if the channel dealers feel that the Xiangjiang Cube game is very good, they only order a small amount to test the water.

Atari's games are completely different. The other party is currently the overlord of the game development and game manufacturing industry. Not to mention the quality of the games it develops, just its reputation is enough to attract countless distributors to place orders.

Even if he saw Li Jianhui more than once during the day, George Ausford still sighed in his heart that he was a genius.

Thinking about when I was sixteen years old, and then looking at Li Jianhui sitting opposite me, I instantly felt that the gap between people was not so big.

Feelings are emotions, George has not forgotten the mission of visiting Li Jianhui.

Today, the Atari Technology Department and Marketing Department have analyzed and considered the Xiangjiang Cube game. They feel that this game is actually more suitable for TV games. Arcade games are mainly shooting games and fighting games.

He came here today because he wanted to win the copyright of the Xiangjiang Cube video game and use the Xiangjiang Cube on the Atari 2600 video game operating platform.

It's a pity that Atari didn't know that Li Jianhui came from later generations, let alone how much benefit the Xiangjiang Cube had, and at the same time underestimated Li Jianhui's ambition.

Li Jianhui, who came from a later generation, how could he give up the huge cake of the home game market? He just wants to accumulate more funds at present.

He has already planned to enter the home game market, otherwise he would not rush to register the cross-key technology.

This era of red and white machines will no longer be Nintendo. Li Jianhui wants to follow the path of Nintendo, leaving him nowhere to go.

He is very aware of the development trend of the game market. Regardless of the fact that the arcade has just flourished, Li Jianhui knows that the glory of the arcade is only a few years away.

The 80s will be the era of home games, and in this era, red and white machines will create brilliance, and Atari will decline as a result, becoming a stepping stone for Nintendo to reach the top.

Facing Atari's acquisition, Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Mr. Osford, I have no plan to sell the copyright of Xiangjiang Cube. If your company is interested in the agency of Xiangjiang Cube in the US market, we can cooperate."

George Osford was very disappointed to see Li Jianhui's attitude of not discussing copyright issues. As for the cooperation proposed by Li Jianhui, they were also not interested.

Atari has not been reduced to the point where it wants to license games from other companies for production and sales. They are not willing to work for Huihong Games.

If Li Jianhui promised that the U.S. market would be exclusively sold by Atari, he might still agree, which would directly cut off the way for Xiangjiang Cube to enter the U.S. market.

It's a pity that Li Jianhui is not a fool, and obviously he would not agree to this cooperation, which is obviously a trap. Naturally, Atari would not help Huihong Game Company develop the market.

"Mr. Li, our Atari company is very sincere. Your Huihong company is in the arcade market, and the video game segment is still blank. The copyright of Xiangjiang Cube is given to us by Atari. Both of us can achieve mutual benefit and win-win."

Facing the unyielding George Osford, Li Jianhui did not waver in the slightest, even though Atari offered a copyright fee of up to five million US dollars.

Not to mention the sale, even Li Jianhui did not agree to authorize it, and firmly held the copyright of the Xiangjiang Square in his own hands.

Atari will decline in the future, but that is the future. Li Jianhui is destined to cause a butterfly effect when he travels through time. Some things will inevitably go in another direction. No one knows whether Atari will be like the previous life. Li Jianhui is not willing Make yourself an enemy.

In Li Jianhui's mind, Xiangjiang Square is definitely a trump card in the home game market. This card will be his pioneer in entering the home game market, and he will not give it up to others.

Facing the stubborn Li Jianhui, George Aosifu lost the interest to continue the negotiation.

He said: "Mr. Li, I won't bother you anymore. The door of our cooperation is always open for you. If you change your mind, you can contact me or our company's marketing department at any time."

"I would also like to ask Mr. Osford to report my proposal to the person in charge of your company. I believe that Xiangjiang Cube will also perform well on arcade machines, especially since there are currently no home games.

Authorized by our company, your company is responsible for production and sales, the US market is so big, we have money to make money together. "

As the manager of the public relations department of Huihong Game Company, Zhou Jiayi, who witnessed this negotiation, had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Before coming to the United States, even this morning, she was extremely worried. She was full of worries about the Xiangjiang Cube game and the future of Huihong Game Company.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly. The order during the day made her full of hope for the future of the company, and the negotiation tonight made her see the bright future of the company even more.

Atari's high-level export is five million US dollars in copyright fees, so one can imagine how much profit the Xiangjiang Cube game will generate.

You must know that this is only the copyright of the video game, and does not include the copyright of the arcade or other aspects. It is terrifying to think about it, but it has created such a huge profit in less than three months of development.

Think about those multi-millionaires in Xiangjiang, who didn't have that kind of wealth after years or even decades of hard work, and Li Jianhui only spent three months.

As long as Li Jianhui agrees to the acquisition by Atari, his net worth will immediately soar to more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars, making him an upstart in Hong Kong.

She also admired the determination of her little boss. Faced with the temptation of five million dollars, she refused without the slightest hesitation. She was not at all like a sixteen-year-old boy.

Thinking back to what Li Jianhui said at the company's first meeting now, maybe that was really not crazy talk.

The other high-level executives don't know what they think. At least she now feels very wise for giving up the opportunity to work in RB and choosing to return to Xiangjiang and join Huihong Games.

Huihong Game Company is already on the road to a world-renowned company, and she will become an executive of a world-renowned company at the age of 21. This is something she could not have imagined when she just graduated a few months ago.

Li Jianhui, who sent George Austin out, didn't know what the people around him thought. His heart had already flown to Xiangjiang, and he planned to find the company to develop follow-up issues.

With the order in hand, he has enough capital to negotiate with raw material suppliers and banks. Even if the company currently has little funds, he is not worried about failing to deliver on time.

As for authorization, since Atari disagreed, he did not force it. Although the market development would be slower this way, in terms of profits, Huihong would get more.
