Chapter 334: No negotiation for weak games, Jedi anchor invitational tournament.

"...Mr. Han, do you have to be so ruthless?"

The veins on Valentine's forehead were throbbing, revealing his uneasy state of mind.

The fact that he could talk peacefully with Han Yonghe until now was the result of his excellent Qi cultivation skills.

But based on the current progress, we are still a long way from reaching a final agreement.

The moment Han Yong's expression changed, Valentine had already vaguely anticipated that the subsequent negotiations would not be able to be fooled so easily.

But he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Han Yong seemed to have given up on fighting for him and took on an aggressive attitude he had never seen before.

Not only was he nitpicking about every aspect, but when it came to the specific distribution of interests, he openly demanded an exorbitant price and left no room for Valentine to bargain.

It can even be said that the other party had no intention of cooperating at all.

"Oh? How can you do it so perfectly?" The more anxious Valentine became, the calmer Han Yong became.

"The share ratio you proposed is not an amount that a normal person can accept at all!" If it weren't for the last bit of rationality, Valentine would have slammed the table and turned hostile.

Li Zhongtang burst into tears when he read the profit distribution ratios proposed by Han Yong.

Anyone who agrees to this condition will most likely end up in a mental hospital instead of being infamous for eternity.

If capitalists a hundred years ago saw this, they would all say that you might be too extreme.

However, Han Yong remained calm and even nodded in agreement: "Indeed, judging from the proportion, this number is indeed a bit excessive."

"But what if we look at the specific amount?" he changed the subject.

Valentine was startled, and then he saw Han Yong, as if he had been prepared, took out a report that had been prepared long ago from his briefcase: "Take a look at this."

When Valentine took it and looked at it, his heart sank.

The report records the various aspects of revenue from some of the competitions currently being held by the World Electronic Sports Association.

Every number is so luxurious, every number is so irrefutable.

Compared with these, the popularity and revenue expectations brought by the Jedi Gun God e-sports project seem a bit pitiful.

"You have to understand, my friend," Han Yong said calmly, "There are already many e-sports events organized by the various branches of the E-sports Association, and our manpower and material resources are limited."

"If you want us to devote our energy to operating your league, then you and your game must at least provide equal value, right?"

"I did a rough calculation and if I want to silence my more 'pragmatic' partners, this is the number I need given the current size of your company and its projects."

After these words came out, Valentine was completely silent.

After a while, he finally stammered, "Are e-sports competitions really that profitable?"

No matter how you think about it, the numbers in Han Yong’s financial report are too scary.

Even with the outrageous profit-sharing ratio proposed by Han Yong, if it can be achieved
"Yes... But it is only limited to Tenghai's e-sports projects." Han Yong added calmly, and Valentine fell down again.

Yes, it’s an e-sports project of Tenghai.

Saturated publicity, excellent quality, and precise control of audience needs...

They have paid attention to every detail and are worthy of such recognition.

In comparison, EC Studio has almost no track that can compete with Tenghai.

Valentine suddenly understood what Han Yong was here for.

They are not here to negotiate, they are here to make you see the reality.

See clearly the chasm-like gap between you and Tenghai, face the reality as soon as possible, and either get out or surrender.

This way they have less trouble.

But even though he understood this, the only emotion Valentine could feel was disappointment.

The gap is indeed huge...

…But so what? If the gap is big, should we just vote?
At least for now, Valentine has no such plans.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to put aside all distracting thoughts, adjusted his mood, and asked, "Is there really no room for adjustment in this ratio?"

Han Yong looked at Valentine with some surprise, as he quickly adjusted his mood and returned to work in just a few seconds, and he felt a little admiration for him.

Facing such a straight ball, it is not easy to adjust your emotions in such a short time.

"Yes," Han Yong nodded, "but there are conditions."

"What conditions?" Valentine's eyes lit up. If they were willing to negotiate, then there would still be room for maneuver.

"Here is a gambling agreement with specific terms for you to review." Han Yong took out another agreement from his briefcase like a magic trick.

It was obvious that the other party was well prepared and had thoroughly studied the background of Valentine and EC Studio before the meeting.

Valentine read the agreement word by word and did not find any major problems.

It is a standard betting agreement, betting whether the revenue from the next Jedi Gun God League can reach a certain threshold.
If it is achieved, EC will not only be able to maintain its existing profit-sharing benefits, but will also receive increased support from Han Yong and others.

But if it cannot be achieved, then the only option is to lower the share ratio.

However, he found something strange in the penalty clause.

"What is the Sky Eye System?" Valentine asked curiously.

“Considering the booming development of the e-sports industry today, it is foreseeable that more competitive game developers like your company will emerge in the future and try to start their own e-sports leagues.”

"Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these manufacturers for anti-plug-in and anti-cheating, Tenghai Company improved and developed its export version based on the anti-cheating system developed by our company."

"That's the Sky Eye system." Han Yong smiled with his eyes narrowed.

In fact, Pei Yunteng had only just agreed to release his own anti-cheating system, and nothing had been done yet.

But it did not prevent Han Yong from using this banner to cheat people.

It has to be done sooner or later anyway, right?

"... Doesn't that mean that Yugi's life and property will be put in the hands of Teng Hai?" Sure enough, after hearing the explanation, Valentine subconsciously hesitated.

If he surrendered to Tenghai now, Valentine would never accept it.

But now Tencent has come up with a compromise solution and made an export version of its own anti-cheating system.

This means that even if they purchase this service from Tencent Hai, they will not be swallowed up by Tencent Hai.

We don't expect it to be as easy to use as the one Tencent uses itself. As long as it can be 70% to 80% effective, the problem of plug-ins that has plagued Jedi can be almost fundamentally solved.

From this perspective, this penalty clause is not so bad, but seems to be... quite beneficial?
However, when he thought about the danger of Han Yong, Valentine was still a little worried.

"If we accept the Sky Eye system, doesn't it mean that the security of the game will depend on Teng Hai from now on?" he asked.

"Isn't your safety now in the hands of others?" Han Yong asked back.

Now the anti-cheating and bug repair of Jedi Gun God are all in the charge of Kodick's "subordinates".

As long as they wanted, they could, in a matter of minutes, cause Jedi Gun God to be caught up in a cheating crisis that is ten times more severe than when the server was first launched.

"That's different..." When Valentine mentioned this, his momentum suddenly weakened.

"It's different." Han Yong nodded, his face becoming serious, "Teng Hai has a clean background and a clean reputation in the market."

"If they want to target you, they won't use this self-destructive method." Pei Yunteng really plans to sell the anti-cheating system to others in the future.

It is for this reason that Han Yong tried so hard to promote it to Valentine.

After all, there is no game with more rampant cheats than Jedi Gun God.

If these plug-ins can be wiped out by the Sky Eye system, it will definitely be a world-class natural advertisement.

There is no reason for Tenghai to miss it.

In this case, Teng Hai would certainly not sacrifice his good reputation built up over the years just to become a Jedi Gun God.

Not to mention this immature Jedi Gun God, even if Pei Yunteng were to play PUBG during his peak period in his previous life, he wouldn't have received this treatment.

But Kotick is different.

He had no reputation or brand name at all, and the technical personnel he supported Valentine used to work for the gambling company.

These guys with not-so-clean backgrounds don't have as many concerns as Teng Hai.

If one day they no longer think highly of Valentine, they may resort to some trickery or other means to eliminate him completely.

In this way, Valentine's choice to follow Cordick was definitely the riskiest path.

The topic returned to Kotick, and this time, Valentine tactfully stopped talking.

Although he would never obey Kotick's orders, he had just started working with them, and it would be somewhat damaging to his reputation to stab them in the back now.

And as it stands now, Kotick's performance does have a very positive meaning for the development of Jedi Gun God.

So much so that Valentine was still willing to trust this guy with a bad record.

After another long period of wrangling, as Valentine signed his name on the contract stroke by stroke, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter how many twists and turns there are in the middle, at least now, the main factors preventing them from holding the league have basically been preliminarily resolved.

Now I can finally let go.

Looking at Valentine's obviously relaxed look, Han Yong smiled in his heart.

It's clear at first glance that this guy still lacks the ability to take a realistic beating.

I thought that as long as I got rid of these obstacles, I would be able to make money without any worries.

But actually?
If it were so easy to make money without doing anything, Honor wouldn't have been unable to break out of the circle after eight years of running the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that the road ahead is full of difficulties.

Not to mention that there is a group of hungry jackals coveting EC.

I don't know how long it will take for them to face reality...

However, Han Yong doesn't need to worry about these things now, because he is not the one being beaten anyway.

He just put away his copy of the contract and nodded to Valentine: "Happy cooperation."

"By the way, do you have any requirements for the preparations for the next league?"

Valentine thought for a moment and replied with one word: "Quick."

Based on his current experience in operating Jedi Gun God, nothing is more useful than getting the game and league online as soon as possible.

As long as you can seize the time advantage, any problems that arise later can be solved little by little later.

At least that's what Valentine thought.

"……OK!"

……

After eliminating the conflicts within the e-sports association, the e-sports and league-based development of Jedi Gun God was finally carried out bit by bit.

After signing the contract, perhaps because he was in a good mood, Han Yong gave Valentine some advice based on the current situation of the Jedi.

"The depth of development is shallow? Then make the weapon system more complicated!"

"Don't hot weapons usually have a lot of accessories? Reinforced magazines, scopes, silencers and so on can all be added in!" Han Yong recalled Pei Yunteng's evaluation of the Jedi Gun God, pretending to be an expert.

This sentence made Valentine suddenly enlightened.

Sure enough, ever since he went back and led his team to work overtime to develop the gun accessories system and limited its probability of appearance, the voices complaining about the shallowness of the game began to disappear rapidly.

The accessory system for thermal weapons, like the Soul Jade of Eternal Tribulation, instantly raises the depth of game development to a higher level.

It is easy for players to get a gun, but if they want to get a fully equipped gun with a scope, a silencer and a magazine, they have to work hard.

Either pick up trash or steal from others.

With this addition, plus the crudely made vehicle system, today's Jedi Gun God has become like the early version of PUBG in Pei Yunteng's previous life.

Such a pertinent update also made the reputation of Jedi Gun God begin to rise rapidly.

Many players feel that Jedi Gun God’s operation is really responsive and efficient.

The overall situation is stable and improving.

While Valentine was happy, he also felt a little embarrassed.

He naturally knew that such a suggestion that would directly bring about a qualitative improvement in the game could not have come from the hands of President Han.

Otherwise, he must at least be a producer of a hit game.

The only person who could make such a suggestion was Mr. Pei Yunteng, who had never appeared in person.

Legend has it that this person is indeed someone who is willing to give guidance to others.

But the more Teng Hai showed his kindness, the more Valentine didn't want to get too close to them.

Because of guilty conscience.

No matter how loud the slogans outside were, he knew that his game was just a copy of someone else's Naraka: Bladepoint.

Even if Teng Hai didn't care, out of some shame, he was unwilling to accept the other party's kindness.

Instead, they are doubly eager to achieve results to prove themselves and get rid of the shadow of starting out by plagiarizing.

"Whether I can completely find my own way depends on this one game."

Valentine muttered.

At his request, the e-sports association, which was working at full capacity, finally came up with a semi-formal competition plan before the start of CSGO next door.

Whether it can give Jedi Gunslinger a good start in his e-sports career depends on this:

Jedi Gun God——Global Anchor Invitational Tournament.

　There is still only one update today, because I didn’t get to the dormitory until almost nine o’clock, and I was in a very bad state.

　　Taking the bus back to school was really a torture. I was severely carsick and vomited as soon as I got off the bus.

　　My head is still dizzy now.

　　Moreover, my roommate who was playing with tiles was roaring so loudly that it seriously affected my typing state.
