Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 26 Negotiations

"Lin Sang, why is the game board copied in your company?"

After hearing Lin Baicheng's words, Nakanishi Akio did not talk about anything else first, but asked out the doubts in his heart.

"That's because the motherboard of every arcade game we leave the factory has the anti-piracy and anti-copying software developed by our company. This is the company's secret. If you want to forcibly copy the motherboard, the core program of the system will self-destruct. , thereby breaking the game code."

Regarding this point, Lin Baicheng does not hide it, anyway, as long as a caring person buys an arcade machine and makes a pirated copy, he will know this point.

"There is such a software?!"

Nakanishi Akio couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and then said happily: "Lin Sang, if your company's software can really prevent piracy, our company hopes to reach a cooperation with your company and obtain software authorization. The price will definitely not let Lin Sang Disappointed."

At this moment, Nakanishi Akio is more interested in anti-piracy software than acting as an agent for the Xiangjiang Cube game.

For a game company, piracy is the biggest harm. Although there are copyrights, some pirates will secretly pirate. Even Taito Co., Ltd. can't stop it. The most they can do is to kill the big pirates , Kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.

However, if the pirates kill a batch, another batch will emerge, and they cannot be cleaned up at all. Who will make money from piracy.

Taito Co., Ltd. also makes games, so it is also troubled by pirates. If the problem of piracy can be solved, the company's profits will be greatly improved.However, the profits that can be obtained by acting as an agent for the Xiangjiang Cube game can never be compared with the profits that can be obtained by solving piracy, so Akio Nakanishi is now more interested in anti-piracy software.

"Whether our company's software can prevent piracy, Mr. Nakanishi, you can let your RB company test it and you will know."

Lin Baicheng smiled, and then said: "But Mr. Zhongxi, I'm sorry, I don't intend to license this software to any company. This software will only be reserved for my game company's own use."

Lin Baicheng didn't even apply for copyright for this anti-piracy software, in order to prevent the program code from being known to the outside world. After all, this technology comes from decades later. If other companies know about it, it will definitely improve the level of their company's engineers. This is not what Lin Baicheng wants.

Lin Baicheng also plans to use this anti-piracy software when making games such as red and white machines in the future, and use it as a basis to develop more advanced anti-piracy software to prevent his games from being pirated.

Of course, when the computer level of the whole world improves to a certain level, Lin Baicheng's anti-piracy software will also be cracked. This is inevitable, but that will be at least 20 years later. Lin Baicheng doesn't have to worry about it for at least ten years. this problem.

"300 US dollars, as long as your company authorizes our anti-piracy, as long as we continue to use your company's software, then we will pay you a license fee of 300 US dollars for each machine we use."

Akio Nakanishi became anxious when he heard this, and immediately used benefits to lure Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sang, you may not know that our Taito Co., Ltd., as the largest game company in RB, sells no less than 10 machines every year. That is Say, your company doesn’t have to do anything, and you can’t make less than $3000 million a year in profit.”

"Mr. Lin."

Liu Yihui couldn't help but say that the figure of 3000 million US dollars was really too high, and the company could get so much without doing anything every year, it was more than just a huge profit.

Hideyoshi Yamada, who was doing the translation, was also very excited. He was glad that he had made the right choice. Galaxy Games was a big company.

"I'm sorry, I still say the same thing, I will not authorize the anti-piracy software to any company."

Lin Baicheng was moved for a while, but he still shook his head and refused.Because he is very clear about one thing, that is, Taito Co., Ltd. will definitely learn to crack the software after obtaining the software authorization, and develop their own anti-piracy software. The amount of money they can get depends on their company's cracking ability how.And after authorizing the other company, Lin Baicheng can't guarantee how long it will take for their company to crack it.

If Taito Co., Ltd. cracks the software within a year, Lin Baicheng will suffer a great loss, so he would rather not make this money than take risks with the core anti-piracy software.

"Lin Sang, I really want to cooperate with your company with great sincerity. If you are not satisfied with the licensing fee of 300 US dollars per unit, you can negotiate the price again."

Even if he was rejected again, Akio Nakanishi still did not give up, and would rather pay a higher price to obtain the authorization of this anti-piracy software, because in his opinion, this software is an opportunity for Taito Co., Ltd. to reach a higher level.

"It's not a matter of price, it's that I won't license this software."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, and continued while Maemi Nohara was translating: "However, I have a proposal. If your company is willing, I am willing to cooperate with your company in this way."

"Lin Sang, please tell me."

"I will not authorize your company, but if your company needs anti-piracy software, you can bring the motherboard to me, and our company will add anti-piracy software to achieve the purpose of anti-piracy. Of course, if you do this , we will charge a certain fee.”

Of course Qian Linbaicheng wanted to make money, but he didn't want to authorize the software, so he decided to neutralize it, depending on whether Nakanishi Akio agreed.

"In this case, we have to ship the motherboard to your company first, wait for your company to input the software, and then ship it back to RB, which will waste too much time and shipping costs."

Akio Nakanishi couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this. In fact, he still has another layer of concerns, that is, if he does this, Taito Corporation will pay Xinghe Games an anti-piracy fee for every game in the future. It is definitely not a sum accumulated over the years. small amount.But if it can be authorized, the company can develop its own anti-piracy software based on the relevant software, and there will be no need to pay an anti-piracy fee from now on, which would be better.

That's right, just as Lin Baicheng worried, Nakanishi Akio had the idea of ​​developing his own anti-piracy software from the very beginning, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea.

Lin Baicheng said: "The price can be negotiated, of course it will not be as high as 300 US dollars, but if you have no intention of cooperating, then there is no need to negotiate."

"Lin Sang, I have to think about this matter again and go back to discuss it."

Akio Nakanishi hesitated for a while and said, if there is really no way to obtain the authorization, then he cannot make a decision on whether or not to cooperate and how to cooperate.

"this is necessary."

Lin Baicheng nodded. After all, it was a temporary cooperation discussion. It is normal for Nakanishi Akio to go back to report and discuss.
