Chen Fang was inspired by Musk's exclusive license.
The eight people present frowned.
If it was an exclusive license, he would have to snatch it.
Once it was snatched, it would be like an auction. The premium would definitely not be low.
Brony and Ding Shi were originally sitting very close to each other, but now, he moved aside without leaving a trace.
In China, Penguin and Netease were the only ones who came. If it was an exclusive license, they would fight over it.
The offensive and defensive alliance that they had talked about earlier instantly collapsed.
Chen Fang waved his hand and Ling Ruoyun stepped forward. She handed each of the eight men an envelope, a piece of white paper, and a pen before leaving.
" Virtual reality technology has a set of specialized programs. It not only completes the entire process of brainwave access, but also includes a set of development components. In other words, if you want to develop virtual reality games, this set of programs is indispensable.”
Everyone nodded.
This was equivalent to developing a game engine.
"President Chen, what about the equipment?"
Brony asked.
Game development was important, but equipment was even more important.
Without equipment, how could you play games?
Everyone knew that making games was far less profitable than building a platform.
Virtual reality equipment was the key to building a platform.
"Equipment."
"That's not within the scope of today's discussion," said Chen Fang with a smile.”
Everyone frowned slightly.
Chen Fang probably prepared his own production equipment.
If it were them, they would have done the same.
Chen Fang extended a hand.
"I will give five authorization slots. For fairness, the Dragon Country will get one. Only Penguin and Netease can compete.”
"One of the best countries, competing with Sonny and Nintendo.”
"One in the North American region, with competition from Microsoft.com, EA.com, and Activision Blizzard.”
"The last one is the Europe region."
Chen Fang looked at the representative of Ubisft. It was a senior vice president of Ubisft called Hayden.
At this moment, Hayden looked as if he had been hit by a pie. His face was filled with ecstasy. They were the only gaming company in the European region.
"The European region will belong to Ubisft, but the specific license fee will be the average of the other four license fees. How about it, Mr. Hayden?”
Hayden nodded frantically. Only a fool would disagree.
The other gaming companies looked at Hayden enviously. There were so few gaming companies, but there were still such benefits.
Reynolds frowned. Out of the four spots, Bei Mei had the most, with three.
"The last spot will be selected from companies that have not obtained the authorization.”
"For the bidding method, we will use a secret bidding method. Each company will write down an annual license fee, and I will decide who will win the bid.”
The nine of them frowned.
A hidden bid was even more ruthless than an auction!
Not only did he have to consider whether the price he offered was appropriate, but he also had to consider what his competitors would offer.
If they didn't pay a sky-high price, they wouldn't be able to get the authorization.
Brony glanced at Ding Shi, his eyes sparkling.
Reynolds raised his hand.
"Mr. Chen, how long is the exclusive license?”
Chen Fang waved his hand.
"Five years."
Reynolds 'breathing became heavier.
Five years, exclusive authorization!
If virtual reality games were to become popular, in fact, the think tanks of major companies had also predicted that this thing would definitely become popular in the future.
In that case, obtaining an exclusive license for five years would be a huge first-move advantage.
Within five years, only five game companies in the world had the ability and qualifications to develop virtual reality games. The other game companies could only eat dust.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a gamble on the future.
If they couldn't get the authorization, they might be eliminated in the future.
"Alright, everyone, time is precious. Let's begin.”
Chen Fang, on the other hand, had a calm expression. Looking at the eight of them frowning, he was secretly pleased.
This was the benefit of mastering the core technology. He could set the rules however he wanted. If he wanted to play, he had to play under his own rules.
"President Chen, can I make a call?”
Brony stood up and said.
This was a shocking change in the gaming industry. Five years was already a long time. If he got the rights, he would soar to the top. If he couldn't get it, he might be eliminated. Brony was prepared to discuss such a big decision with the company's higher-ups.
Chen Fang smiled and shook his head.
For example, in the Dragon Country, there were only two competitors, Penguin and Netease.
If Brony and Ding Shi went out to tell the truth, for example, if they bid near one billion, wouldn't Chen Fang suffer a huge loss?
What he needed was such an environment where he could not connect with others and was extremely nervous. Only then could Chen Fang obtain the greatest profit.
The eight of them immediately guessed Chen Fang's plan. They looked at each other and their expressions became even more solemn.
After a full ten minutes, Ding Shi took the lead to write a line of words and stuffed it into the envelope. Then, he let out a long sigh and almost collapsed on the chair.
Brony immediately frowned.
After a moment of hesitation, Brony also wrote a line of words and stuffed it into the envelope.
After another ten minutes, as Tanaka Kazuo finished writing, all eight people's bids were completed.
Ling Ruoyun stepped forward, put away the envelope and handed it to Chen Fang.
Chen Fang did not waste any time and directly opened the envelope.
One billion dollars a year from Microsoft.com
UA, 1.3 billion USD a year.
Activision Blizzard, 900 million USD a year.
Sonny, 900 million dollars a year.
Ninja, 1.2 billion dollars a year.
Penguin, one billion yuan a year.
Netease, 5 billion a year.
Chen Fang frowned slightly.
What was Brony doing?
One billion yuan a year? Are you kidding me?
He was renting a manor and had exclusive rights to it. Did he really think that he was auctioning the development rights for a virtual reality game?
It wasn't at all!
Chen Fang was selling all the major game companies a chance to kill their competitors.
Obviously, Ding Shi had thought of this point. Five billion a year, twenty-five billion in five years. This was almost bankrupt. He wanted to rely on virtual reality games to completely turn things around and defeat Penguin in five years.
Chen Fang put down the envelope and began to announce under the nervous gazes of the eight people.
"Dragon Country Region, Netease!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Shi cheered excitedly.
Brony was dumbfounded. He had already paid one billion a year, but he still hadn't gotten the authorization. How much did Ding Shi pay?
" Top tier country, Ninja."
Tanaka Kazuo's face was filled with despair. It wasn't that he didn't want to pay a high price, but that Sony was really going downhill. They didn't have that much money, especially their gaming department. They were extremely poor. 900 million USD was the limit that he felt he could apply for.
" North America, UA!"
Douglas slapped the table in excitement.
Reynolds was dumbfounded. One billion dollars a year, and he still couldn't get the license. What the hell!
Brony, Reynolds, and the other four people who didn't get the authorization had mixed expressions.
They only knew that they had lost, but they did not know how.
And now, there was only one spot left. If he couldn't get it, then he really wouldn't be able to get the virtual reality technology.
