"Director Ma, you were the one who said that doing this would force Future Technology to lower the copyright fee for the Phantom Star Engine, but the current situation doesn't look right!"

"The other party has established its own game studio, which speaks volumes."

"Now that Future Technology has basically mastered the domestic engine licensing market, if we try to enter the gaming field and gain a firm foothold, we, the people, may not be able to withstand it."

Shenzhen.

Penguin headquarters building.

In the core conference room, Ma Teng looked at several familiar figures on the screen in front of him, feeling somewhat depressed.

Originally, he took the lead in proposing a temporary boycott of the Fantasy Star Engine in order to allow Future Technology to reduce the copyright fees for game development and gain more benefits for well-known domestic game companies like them.

But now the copyright fee has not been reduced, but an additional 5% service fee has been increased.

If we choose to compromise at this time, I'm afraid several other game companies will blame Penguin Games for this.

In the past, relying on the huge resources owned by the Penguin Group, there may not be too much concern in the game market for companies like Wangyimiyou, Perfect Juren, etc. However, the emergence of the Magic Star Engine has abruptly broken the original industry structure. In the future, it will really be It's hard to say whether Penguin can keep the market in its hands by focusing its firepower on siege.

So in this case, Ma Teng could only bite the bullet and hold on.

Not to mention lowering the copyright fee to the ideal ten percent, it should at least be more favorable than before.

Otherwise, why would there be such a big fuss?

It can only be said that Penguin's position today has given Ma Teng so much confidence that he firmly believes that things will develop according to his expectations.

"I know you're worried about your market share being affected."

When several company leaders in the video stopped talking, Ma Teng took off his glasses, raised his arms and rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger.

Then he raised his gaze and said in a deep voice: "However, the other party has just released the news of the first Fantasy Star Engine game, and you have hastily held a remote video conference to investigate the charges. It is a bit too unbearable."

"Dr. Ma, what do you mean by this?" Ding Lei, CEO of NetOne, asked in the video.

"You should know better than me how far the Phantom Star Engine can reach."

"Using this engine to develop games is indeed very efficient, but if you want to create a high-quality client game in such a short period of time, I am afraid it will still be difficult."

"I admit that Future Technology is very strategic, but unfortunately it is not stable enough."

"If they can be more patient and spend more time polishing this game, it may really have an impact on our market share."

"But now, I guess there is a high probability that I will shoot myself in the foot."

When Magic Star Studio suddenly appeared, Ma Teng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Lei's reaction to be so decisive and sophisticated.

I did so many tricks in a short period of time.

Even their alliance between game companies has made people panic.

However, he is not very optimistic about this game.

I think that the development of future technology in such a short period of time must be to make them avoid the enemy. However, it is difficult to control all the details and quality issues of the game. When players pay a large amount to purchase and try out, more and more loopholes and shortcomings will become apparent. .

At that time, Penguin will only need to use its own resources to expand public opinion.

Let players apply for refunds.

It gave everyone the impression that the Fantasy Star engine was flawed and that future technology was not suitable for making games.

In this way, future technology will still have to rely on well-known domestic game companies like them to earn copyright fees.

However, Ma Teng's plan was very good, but he didn't know that the stand-alone game produced by Magic Star Studio was assisted by an intelligent assistant, and the production progress was naturally much faster than that of simply using the Magic Star engine.

at the same time.

As Ma Teng finished speaking, several people in the video couldn't help but fall into a brief silence, thinking about the possibilities.

After about half a cup of tea, Ding Lei, the CEO of NetOne, who was the representative, said: "Since Chairman Ma has said so, we will wait and see for a while, just hope that it won't end up bad for everyone." end."

——

When the remote video conference was disconnected, Ma Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a long time since he was as concerned about one thing as he was now.

After a while.

Ma Teng put on his glasses again, raised his eyes and asked Zhang Tiandong, who had been staying next to him, "How are the arrangements?"

"Don't worry, Director Ma. I've already asked people to keep an eye on the game from Magic Star Studio."

"As soon as they go online at night, they will find problems in the game and attack it from every angle."

Facing Ma Teng's inquiry, Zhang Tiandong showed his confidence and quickly told his arrangement.

After hearing these words, Ma Teng made sure there were no other problems, so he waved his hand and said: "You have nothing to do here, go down and do your work first."

"It's Director Ma." Zhang Tiandong nodded and responded.

Then he turned around and walked outside, preparing to personally supervise the evening's affairs.

But as soon as he reached the door of the office, Ma Teng's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Wait a moment."

When Zhang Tiandong heard this shout, his body suddenly stopped.

Then he turned around again, walked quickly to the desk and asked, "Director Ma, do you have any other instructions?"

"Contact Bizhan and Yitian Animation to get the game adaptation copyright of Ling Cong."

"Buy the copyright?"

Hearing this order, Zhang Tiandong was startled for a moment, then understood and subconsciously said, "Mr. Ma, do you want to..."

"I still underestimated the company Future Technology. The current situation is not good for us, so we must make two preparations first." Ma Teng directly interrupted Zhang Tiandong and took the initiative to tell the reason in a somewhat lonely tone.

As the person in charge of Penguin game business, how could Zhang Tiandong not know what Ma Teng meant.

The Spirit Cage is a hotly discussed topic on the Internet right now. It is also known as the first animation produced by the Phantom Star Engine. In addition, it has a doomsday wasteland theme and many novel settings. If it is developed into a large-scale high-quality game, there will definitely be many Audience and selling point.

However, this also indicates that Penguin Games will use the Phantom Star engine to develop new game projects under the company.

"Director Ma, do we really want to accept the 25% copyright service fee?"

"Are there other companies there?"

Seeing that Zhang Tiandong still had objections, Ma Teng said coldly: "No matter what, we must first ensure the interests of the company. If the game market is dominated by the Magic Star Engine in the future, it will be particularly important to take the lead."

"I understand Chairman Ma, I will handle this matter myself." Zhang Tiandong nodded heavily.

…

That night.

8pm.

As Godless World, the first game developed and produced using the Magic Star engine, is officially open for sale, players who have been waiting in front of their computers have purchased, downloaded and tried it.

And it also includes many anchors from major live broadcast platforms, which is destined to be a sleepless night.
