118 - One-shot deal
Several local TV stations want to invite Fat Guy to participate in their talk shows. You must know that not only them, but countless people are also curious about what is so special about this "Internet celebrity".

Regarding the hijacking incident a few days ago, there was a complete introduction on the Internet, and some media interviewed several passengers on the plane at that time. Although they were foreign friends, American netizens still gave Fat Brother a kind foreign friend No. Airplane Brother.

Zhao Qizhi and the others have been afraid to tell Fat Brother his new nickname. Fortunately, this matter has only been a hot topic for a day or two, and various brothers and sisters soon appeared on the Internet.

Posts about purchasing CS game discs also began to appear on the Internet. There is no way to connect the whole country, so they still have a lot of fun playing LAN.

On the last day of the E4 exhibition, Counter-Strike finally became popular!

Fat Brother talked and laughed loudly with the employees who were cleaning up the stalls. After returning, he treated the guests, and the whole company was together, so that everyone would not return drunk!

Just as he was talking, a foreigner with a big belly found Xinghuo's booth: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou?"

Operators who saw the potential of CS finally came to their door!
In the coffee shop of the exhibition hall.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Tom from Thermal Game Company, and I want to talk to you about the agency of the Counter-Strike game."

Tom straight to the point explained his reason for coming. Their company intends to win the national agency rights of Counter-Strike, but the conditions offered make Fat Brother a bit unappreciative.

$80 a year, in conjunction with the CS promotion of Spark Games in the United States, but there is no guarantee for the final player installed capacity and market coverage.

"As far as I know, game agents rarely have one-year contracts, right? Even if I'm the boss of Spark, it's hard for me to convince my employees of the terms you offer, so..."

Fat Brother didn't continue, but shrugged his shoulders with apologetic face.

"But Mr. Zhou, you need to know that Xinghuo is just an unknown small company in the United States. You have never set foot in this market. I believe that with our intervention, your marketing in the United States will be much easier."

Tom replied calmly, implying that you can also understand that if you don't cooperate, we can also make it difficult for you to move forward.

"I understand, but the transaction requires equality, isn't it? If your company still meets this condition, I think I will consider building a server by myself, although it is more difficult."

Those who are familiar with Fat Brother will know that he is a typical soft eater and not hard eater. If Tom speaks well, maybe Fat Brother will agree in a flash, but he seems to put on a condescending posture because Xinghuo is a Huaxia company, and wants to force it. Press Xinghuo, the crossing dragon.

The negotiation broke up badly in the end. Tom hoped that Zhou would think about it again. Before leaving, he repeatedly emphasized to him: This is America!

The fat brother just snorted coldly, without you as a butcher, if you don’t believe me, I will eat pigs with hair!

In the next two days, game companies kept coming to seek cooperation, but all of them were extremely small companies. Some companies looked like middlemen, and wanted to obtain agency rights at a low price before subcontracting them out.

Fat Brother in the U.S. market will definitely not hand it over so easily, but he has sold the agency rights in several other regions, such as RB, South Korea, Taiwan Province, and some countries in South America.

Seeing that no one cares about CS finally, Zhao Qizhi and others can go shopping with peace of mind, but the heart of the fat guy who stayed in the hotel is constantly sinking. They will leave on the plane the day after tomorrow. The American agent Power has simply become his heart disease. If it can occupy most of the American market, it will be self-evident what it means to Spark.

Just sent away a proposal for Spark Investment to build a server in the United States, and they assisted in managing the wonderful share of the share, a middle-aged man with flaxen hair came over, wearing a well-fitting blue striped suit, and he seemed to always have a smile on his face.

"Hi, Zhou, I'm Michael, do you have time to chat?"

Fat Brother saw a small badge pinned to the buttonhole of his shirt - four-color Rubik's Cube, and Fat Brother's heart skipped a beat.

finally come!

Michael was more straightforward. The two of them threw out their own conditions as soon as they sat down. Although Microsoft was also uneasy about the routine and was not responsible for the operating results, the agency fee of 700 million US dollars for three years alone was enough to impress Fat Brother. Fat brother understands the truth of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade better than anyone else.

Right, this looks like a sincere cooperation!

"But we have another request, which is to open up all your code."

Michael lightly threw out another request.

Fat Brother's face froze when he heard the words, this is probably your ultimate goal!

Microsoft has an extremely powerful game development department. They have never had a precedent for operating other companies' products, either by acquisition or by being squeezed out.

Fat Brother knows CS very well, so Xinghuo can develop it in the shortest time.

Microsoft has also studied CS in the past few days. It is very simple for them to make a rough idea, but the feel is much worse, yes, the feel!

So getting all the code will greatly reduce the development process of their new game.

As for what kind of new game to develop, everyone knows it well.

"No problem, but it's not the price, I want 1500 million dollars!"

The fat brother agreed after a little thought. He didn't mention anything about three years or not. He understood that this was a one-shot deal.

Michael showed a surprised expression for the first time. He thought that the fat brother would reject this excessive request without thinking, but he just asked for a price increase.

"Are you sure you can open all the codes of CS?"

Michael repeated it again for fear that Fat Brother might not hear clearly.

"Of course! But we're going back to China tomorrow, so if we need to sign a contract or something, we'd better hurry up."

Michael went to the side and reported the situation here, and soon there was a reply to Fat Brother’s request. There is no problem with 3 million in 1500 years, but he asked Spark Games to sign an agreement to share all CS codes, including Microsoft’s porting in the future. It is legal and valid for other games.

I don't open up the code, don't sign the contract, don't you guys develop it secretly!

Besides, even if you infringe the copyright, can I still win Microsoft in a lawsuit in the United States!

sign!I will collect the money first.

In less than an hour, people from Microsoft's legal department rushed to the hotel where Fat Brother was staying with the contract. After reading the terms of the contract, Fat Brother pretended to read it again, signed his name, and stamped it with the Xinghuo seal. .

"Happy cooperation!"

Fat brother stretched out his hand and smiled, want to copy my game?Can you copy so many games from your previous life?You guys are ready to eat dirt after brother!
"Happy cooperation!"

Michael also shook hands with Fat Brother with a smile and said, I am afraid that within a year, CS will disappear from the market, and Microsoft's new game will replace it!
The fat guy stood at the door and waved goodbye to Michael with a smile. Michael also poked his head out and waved. The fat guy suddenly shouted: "Don't forget to urge your finances to pay quickly!"

Zhao Qizhi, who was laughing and walking downstairs with big bags and small bags, saw Fat Brother standing at the door, and asked curiously, "Boss, what are you doing here?"

Fat Brother raised the thick stack of contracts in his hand, and said in an extremely shy voice, "See that?"

"What is this? Microsoft?!"

Sun Bin's voice changed when he saw the words on the contract!

"What Microsoft?"

"Boss, show me!"

Several people hurriedly opened the contract, Microsoft, 1500 million US dollars and other words jumped into everyone's attention.

"Ahh! Boss, you are so awesome!"

Several people shouted loudly, startling other people in the lobby to cast strange glances at the crying and laughing young people at the door.

The next day, not long after Fat Brother and others boarded the plane back home, Microsoft's official website issued a brief announcement.

"Microsoft has signed an agency agreement with Huaxia Spark Games for Counter-Strike in North America. The agreement is valid for 3 years and the agency fee is 1500 million US dollars. Microsoft hopes to provide players with better games in the next three years. and service!"

As soon as the announcement came out, the Quartet shook.
