Crossover: 2014

Chapter 108 A Higher Sharing Ratio (continued)
After reaching the preliminary intention.

Apple and Lin Hui decided to strike while the iron was hot, and further discussed the details of a formal contract for future cooperation.

Although a letter of intent is also a type of contract, it is still different from a formal contract.

Unlike the letter of intent, the formal contract has a stricter binding effect than the letter of intent.

Because of this, Lin Hui is quite cautious.

Of course, although Lin Hui was very cautious, he would not hesitate to move forward.

By 21 am on the 11st, Lin Hui and Apple had reached a more detailed sharing rule:
The specific proportion of the game that Lin Hui develops will be linked to the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui.

When the game developed by Lin Hui chose to be exclusive on the Apple platform.

If the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is less than 1000 million US dollars

Lin Ash can only get 85% of the share;
And if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui (including the total revenue of game sales, DLC sales, prop sales, etc.) is more than 1000 million US dollars

For every $200 million increase in total revenue, Linhui will receive an additional 1% share.

And so on until the proportion of forest ash reaches 90%.

In particular, if the total revenue of the game developed by Lin Hui exceeds 5000 million US dollars, Lin Hui has the conditions to propose an adjustment to the share ratio.

The specific adjustment is mainly based on the conclusions of the discussions between the two parties, but in principle, the share adjustment ratio should not be less than 2 percentage points.

The so-called negotiation is basically a technique of compromise.

The rules in the contract are nothing new, they seem to be the same from ancient times to the present, the more profitable people are, the better they are treated on the platform.

There are imperfections in the rules of this contract, but it is relatively acceptable to both parties.

This contract does not mandate that games developed by Lin Hui can only be placed on the Apple platform.

It's just that some corresponding restrictions have been imposed on Lin Hui's choice of Apple's exclusive games.

Although Lin Hui is unlikely to choose another platform in a short time, the feeling of being tied to one platform may not be pleasant.

In short, this contract did not restrict Lin Hui's freedom.

As for the special payment in the letter of intent, Lin Hui decided to add it temporarily. Although it is still very difficult for a mobile game developed by an individual developer to achieve a revenue of more than 5000 million US dollars, one still has a dream , What is the difference between salted fish and salted fish without dreams.

And Apple didn't think there was anything wrong with the condition proposed by Lin Hui.

Maybe it feels that Lin Hui has created so many miracles before, and it doesn't seem too much to create another miracle.

This item was also added to the official contract as a special item.

After Lin Hui and Apple signed a formal contract on future cooperation, Apple informed Lin Hui that in the future, as long as the games developed by Lin Hui are on the line, they can enjoy the game after checking the corresponding Apple exclusive agreement as agreed in the letter of intent. treatment.

Before the formal negotiation, there were some cumbersome conversations, and after the negotiation, there were a lot of conversations.

Although Lin Hui doesn't like this kind of scene talk very much, when all this is called "modern social etiquette", there is nothing he can do if he doesn't like it.

After that, Apple invited Lin Hui to stay and have lunch together.

However, Lin Hui found an excuse and politely refused.

For Beiyu International Hotel, Lin Hui can be said to have a serious psychological shadow.

Although the Beiyu International Hotel is a five-star hotel, it is definitely the bottom of the five-star hotels in the country.

The level of food is almost unbeatable, absolutely unbeatable.

I hope that the meals at the Beiyu International Hotel will not leave any psychological shadow on Apple's friends.

Fortunately, after Lin Hui declined the dinner invitation from Apple, several people from Apple did not insist on staying.

……

After reaching a contract with Apple.

The problem seems to be back to square one:
——What kind of game would you like to develop?
