I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 434 Copyright battle!

"Mr. Lin, let me report to you about the recent situation in South Koryo."

After Lin Xiao connected the phone, Ren Yuxin went straight to the point.

After receiving Lin Xiao's hint, Ren Yuxin continued: "Currently, "Legend" has been in public beta in South Korea for more than half a month, but judging from the situation of the public beta, it is not particularly popular. A few days ago We did a research here."

"According to preliminary statistics, among the several games launched at the same time, "Legend" can only be ranked fourth, and there is a relatively large gap with the top three."

Ren Yuxin was talking, but Lin Xiao didn't interrupt him, but from Ren Yuxin's words, Lin Xiao could also hear that when they went to South Korea, they had no contact with Wemade Company.

At this time, Ren Yuxin continued to say: "After that, we found a way to get in touch with a person from Wemade. According to this person, because the public beta data of "Legend" is not ideal, the company is currently confident about the operation of the game in South Korea. Not very full."

"Someone among the company's top executives did ask whether they should focus on overseas distribution to see if there is any hope of winning a better market."

Lin Xiao also understands this. The game industry in South Korea started early and developed very fast. There was indeed such a situation before, that is, games were not popular in South Korea, but they were more popular in other countries.

In fact, the same is true for "Legend" from the previous life. It received a mediocre response in South Korea, but it was very popular in China and Italy.

However, Lin Xiao really didn't know that this was the case when "Legend" was in the public beta test in South Koryo, so after hearing what Ren Yuxin said, Lin Xiao immediately said: "In this case, our chances of winning will be even greater."

"In theory, it is, but in practice, the situation is a bit complicated..." Ren Yuxin replied.

Following Ren Yuxin's words, Lin Xiao also knew more details about the copyright of "Legend".

Lin Xiao knew that in the previous life, Shanda had always had disputes with South Koryo's company over the copyright of "Legend". However, when Lin Xiao was an editor, neither Shanda nor "Legend" were very popular, so he There is no detailed understanding.

After Ren Yuxin explained to him at this time, Lin Xiao realized that he had misremembered some things in the middle.

Strictly speaking, the "Legend" that Lin Xiao is talking about now should be called "Legend 2", and the previous life in China was called "Legend of Blood".

The first generation of "Legend" was developed by a company called ACTOZ. Later, an employee of ACTOZ, Park Guanhao, resigned from the company and founded Wemade (Entertainment Virtue), and developed this "Legend". 2".

Because Altos owns 40% of the shares of Yumeide, and the "Legend 2" developed by Yumeide uses the IP and some codes of Artos "Legend", so in fact, the copyright of "Legend 2" was released in two days at the beginning of development. The company agrees that it is shared by both parties.

In view of the earlier establishment of ARTOS and wider channels, the two companies signed an agreement at the beginning, and the overseas copyright of "Legend 2" was operated by ARTOS.

So this copyright is now in the hands of ATOX.

Lin Xiao also understood at this time, the reason why Chen Tianqiao's Shanda first came into contact with Amusement Virtue in the previous life was because the game development was done by Amusement Virtue, and they paid the corresponding development costs in order to earn money. , That's why I came to Huaxia to promote.

And because the overseas operation copyright of "Legend 2" is in the hands of Artos, Shanda can only sign a cooperation agreement with Artos in the end.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this complicated relationship that when "Legend 2" or "Legend of Blood" became popular in China, there were many disputes among the three parties because of copyright in the face of interests.

After clarifying the matter, Lin Xiao frowned slightly and said:
"So now if we want to obtain the overseas operation rights of "Legend 2", we need the consent of the two companies. Is this what you mean?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Ren Yuxin replied on the other end of the phone.

"Boss Lin, if this is the case, why don't we talk about Huaxia's agency rights?

Now "Legend 2" is not popular in South Korea, if we talk about agency rights, they might still be interested.

Even if we are optimistic about this game, we can properly sign the contract longer. "

After Ren Yuxin finished speaking, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. If there was no such thing as a private server in the previous life, this would be a good way.

It only takes a few years for a game to really become popular, and signing the contract for a longer period will also prevent the other party from sitting on the ground and raising the price.

But in this way, there is no way to prevent Artox from selling the copyright to the Italian company, and the risk of code leakage is still there.

In this life, I introduced "Legend 2" about a year earlier, which means that the time when this game will become popular will be earlier. If I can solve the problem of private servers, the game will be at least 4 times popular. 5 years without problems.

Coupled with the stronger operational capabilities of Eternal Network than Shanda in the previous life, if you keep the agency profit dividend in your own hands, you can make much more money than Shanda in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao also said to Ren Yuxin:
"For the time being, we don't want to be an agent. Let's pretend we don't know about copyright sharing. Let's ask Yudemei if they intend to sell overseas operation copyrights. After all, they have development costs, so maybe they will be tempted."

"If Yudemei will help to persuade Astros to transfer the overseas operation copyright to us, the resistance may be relatively small."

Although Ren Yuxin was still a little curious about how much Lin Xiao was obsessed with the copyright of "Legend 2", he still obeyed the order and replied:

"Okay, Mr. Lin, let's start working on this matter."

After talking on the phone with Ren Yuxin, Lin Xiao knew that the copyright matter could not be won in a day or two. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry, but patiently waiting.

In the next few days, the school season of Yenching University ushered in, Lin Xiao also went to sign up, and officially became a junior student.

It has been two years since he was reborn, and his identity has become more and more out of the student.

Of course, Lin Xiao still upholds the principles he set before, and still hopes to graduate normally and set an example for his juniors.

But to be honest, he seldom puts his main energy into school. Even if he just started school, he only focuses on the key classes, and the rest of his time is still devoted to the operation of several companies.

Fortunately, the operations of several companies were relatively stable during this period, and the copyright of "Legend 2" became the only thing he had to worry about.

Another week later, Ren Yuxin called, and Yumeide was still more interested in selling the entire overseas copyright to Gengu Network. After all, Artos only waited for the copyright to find an agent in another country before it could bring Yumeide income.

But now, if they sell to Eternal Network, they will be able to earn a lot of money immediately.

However, the intention of Guangyu Virtue is not enough. The key point is that Artix has to let go. After all, according to the agreement, the current overseas operation copyright is in their hands.

Moreover, since Astros did not invest in development costs before, they are not as urgent in this regard as Yumeide.

So Ren Yuxin also told Lin Xiao on the phone that it is only a small step, and the hard nuts to crack are still to come.
