Chapter 253 Working together

"Oops! I pressed the space bar too much and the square rotated too much. What should I do?"

A female clerk with long hair and an oval face was trying to play with the Great Wall Cube. As a result, she accidentally pressed the space bar too much, and the cube that could just fall down and fit in was rotated too far. It was too late to remedy the situation, which made her uncontrollable. Whispering annoyance and regret.

Bai Zirui saw that she was completely immersed in the charm of the Great Wall Cube game, with a pleased smile on his face. He motioned to Li Yalei to give two Great Wall Cube game consoles to the two male employees around him who were waiting to try the game, and Explain to them how to do it.

As the first batch of Deans employees who had tried the Great Wall Cube game left, news about the Great Wall Cube game quickly spread in the office area of ​​Deans headquarters. Ordinary employees did not dare to do so due to company rules and regulations. I specially came to the trial area to watch the fun.

When the off-duty time came, employees from all directions rushed to the trial office from all floors. Bai Zirui looked at the shocked and surprised expression on Nakamura Mikio's face, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that his plan was successful. , the charm of the Great Wall Block Game successfully conquered Dean's employees and won him favorable negotiating conditions.

The two parties returned to the negotiation room again, and Bai Zirui asked: "Nakamura-kun, accompanied by Ishida-kun, I visited your company's wafer factory that has just been put into operation. I have a doubt. As a newly established wafer factory with a large scale , it will take enough time for your products to be recognized by the market. What level can the operating rate of your company's wafer factory reach?"

Whether the operating rate of a wafer factory is sufficient is a key issue related to the survival of a wafer factory. Insufficient operating rate means huge losses, and continuous losses mean gradual death.

After all, like SMIC, which suffered huge losses for many years in later generations, it was because the government was fully supporting it. Such a good thing cannot happen to the Deans wafer fab. Deans' status in the wafer industry is as high as that of Dingtian Technology. The status of the game industry is the same, they are all newcomers and unknowns in the market.

Bai Zirui said eloquently: "In my opinion, the cooperation between our company and your company is a win-win situation. Our Dingtian Technology Company is currently relatively weak and can only focus all its energy on the development of game software. The core part of the electronic game console hardware is left to your company to manufacture.

If our company's new game is successful, your company will not only be able to receive a steady stream of large orders, but the processors, memories and other chip products produced by your company can also take the opportunity to become famous, allowing your company's wafer factories to obtain products faster. Market orders.

As for whether the newly developed games of our company will be successful in the market? I believe Mr. Nakamura should have made a sufficient judgment based on the scene where your company tried the game just now!"

Nakamura Mikio bowed to Bai Zirui and said very apologetically: "Mr. Bai, the game your company showed today is very good. But I don't have the right to make an immediate decision to cooperate with your company. I still need to talk to the directors of the club. We will discuss it and solemnly re-evaluate your company before we can give an answer. Please forgive me!"

Bai Zirui waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, this is what it should be! This is related to the future cooperation between our two companies. I hope Deans will eventually allow us to cooperate with each other for a win-win situation!"

Bai Zirui believes that the directors of Deans will agree to this cooperation, because their company's own employees have used practical actions to confirm the great charm of the classic game Great Wall Cube brought by Bai Zirui. Today's negotiations have ended At this point, we will wait for Nakamura Mikio to report to the directors of Deans Company, and then negotiate again tomorrow.

On the way to the hotel arranged by Deans, Wang Yatao said happily: "Bai Sheng, let Deans help our company design and OEM computer board negotiations have been basically reached. Next, we will purchase PCB manufacturing equipment." Things just fell into place!”

Bai Zirui said with leeway: "Yatao, don't be too happy yet. It's not certain whether we can sign the contract in the end, but at least the future development potential shown by our company is enough to attract the attention of Deans Company!"

Li Yalei asked: "Bai Sheng, are you afraid that Deans will kick us out after seeing our game ideas and produce their own game consoles?"

Bai Zirui said patiently: "Our company has applied for a patent for the Great Wall Block Game. Moreover, Deans is not a company that specializes in making games. They can risk a lawsuit and enter a new field that is completely unfamiliar to them. This How much profit is needed for them to enter the unfamiliar game industry.

By the time they recruit people to develop a similar follow-up game, we will have already found other partners. So as long as their president doesn’t have a donkey kick in the head, he won’t make such a brainless decision!

On the contrary, if it were a gaming giant like Sega or Taitung, I would be really worried! Even if we produce a game console, they can kill us as long as they make a phone call to the distributor.

The ability of game giants like them to develop the market is simply not comparable to that of a new company with no foundation like ours. If they had plagiarized their ideas, they would be able to make the same game in minutes.

It's useless even if we go to court to sue them for infringement. The meat has already been eaten by them. Even if they win the lawsuit, the compensation they get will be a little bit of broth at most. What's more, this kind of copyright lawsuits often take a long time. , maybe the case is not over yet, our company has been dragged into bankruptcy by them!"

Patents are not a panacea, they just give you an extra layer of insurance. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many follow-up games on the market. This kind of thing exists in almost all industries. Big companies have made it clear that they can infringe on your intellectual property rights. how.

As long as they make enough profits, they are not afraid of you going to court to sue. The first trial will drag on for a year or two. If you lose, you will file an appeal, and the retrial will drag on for another year or two. In the end, the victim will definitely be the first to give in. This kind of Stories abound in news reports from past lives.

The value of the Great Wall Cube game is different in the eyes of Deans and game giants like Sega and Taitung. Plagiarism is not worth the risk for Deans, but Sega and Taitung are likely to see the value of the game. Value. Because of this, Bai Zirui was unwilling to contact those gaming giants before the Great Wall Cube Game Console was produced.

Bai Zirui said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the directors of Deans have underestimated the value of our game. If they think that our Great Wall Cube game has only sold a few thousand units, do you think they will give it to them?" We customize gaming motherboards? I guess this profit is not enough for them to adjust the production line!

I’m really not afraid of them opening their mouths. If the price is right, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them the production agency rights for the Great Wall Cube Game in the Japanese market!”
