325: Do they think the cost is too high?
"Brother! I've called you brother, are you really not going to send a link or something? Don't you feel bad about me calling you brother?"
"It's so annoying! You still haven't sent the video link after so long, you're going to make me die of anger!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'll go look somewhere else. I don't believe I can't find this video! Impossible!"
"Big brother, let's add each other as friends. If you get the video, remember to send me a copy, and I'll send it to you if I get it!"
Most people searching for Overwatch and D.Va on Weibo were looking for links to these videos!
Because of their wide circulation,
many people had seen these types of videos, and these videos left many people with fond memories!
But there were still some people who had no idea where to find these videos and were constantly searching through various comments.
They had no idea how many times they had called out "brother," but no one had ever sent the video link, which was incredibly frustrating!
However, even so,
many people continued to call out, hoping to get the videos they wanted!
......At Xu Lian's villa.
"Xu Lian, didn't you say you would take care of it for me? Why do I feel like these videos are getting more and more numerous? It's a bit strange!"
D.Va asked Xu Lian somewhat helplessly.
Previously, there might not have been so many.
Now, even if D.Va didn't actively search, they were everywhere. If her female house manager hadn't told her about it, D.Va wouldn't have known about it at all!
Now it's like the whole world knows!
"I've tried my best to deal with it."
Xu Lian said helplessly, "But you also know, there are so many players worldwide, I can't possibly monitor everyone's computers, can I?"
Xu Lian's words were indeed true.
If it were just within the country, the situation might be better, but this was a global matter.
Many things were not that easy to control, and even the current Xu Lian did not have that ability.
"Forget it, just treat these things as celebrity gossip, don't take it too much to heart.
After all, no matter what, this is just a character from Overwatch."
Xu Lian comforted D.Va.
Actually, there were some things he couldn't say directly; this matter involved too many people!
Xu Lian believed that if D.Va hadn't spoken up at the time, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
But now that it had been exposed, it was a bit difficult to clean up.
After all, Aoyou Tianxia Game Company now had a great many fans.
"Alright, are there any other options then?"
D.Va felt very embarrassed at this moment, but she had no other choice now and could only accept it.
The next day.
Aoyou Tianxia Game Company.
In President Xu's office.
"President Xu, the copyright with Qi Lu Novel Network is about to expire. They have already approached us to discuss renewal and hope to continue our cooperation."
Qin Feixu came to President Xu's office to report on the company's recent situation.
Originally, she could handle this matter herself, directly dealing with Qi Lu Novel Network.
But this time, Qi Lu Novel Network was not satisfied with the conditions Qin Feixu proposed and hoped to negotiate again.
Since many matters were handed over to Qin Feixu, whether it was copyright fees or other expenses, Qin Feixu always set the prices relatively high.
But these were all within a reasonable range.
Especially for the island nation, where they were doing quite well, Qin Feixu directly asked for an exorbitant price.
However, Qi Lu Novel Network was different this time; they had conducted a detailed investigation.
Even the price Qin Feixu offered was already quite reasonable.
Despite this, Qi Lu Novel Network still believed the price was too high and hoped it could be lowered.
"What's going on? This isn't like your style, to specifically tell me about this matter."
President Xu retorted to Qin Feixu, "Aren't they making much money? Or are they losing money, which is why they don't accept such conditions?"
In his opinion, this would only happen if they weren't making money or were losing money.
Because when there was money to be made, even if the price was increased or some harsh demands were made, the other party would agree.
"No, that's not it? Our Dungeon & Fighter on Qi Lu Novel Network is their main source of income, and their traffic is also the highest among novel websites in the country!"
Qin Feixu responded, "Now, for every hundred new books added to Qi Lu Novel Network, ninety are Dungeon & Fighter fan fiction."
These data were all verified by people Qin Feixu sent, and they were absolutely the most authentic data!
It was precisely because of this that when she negotiated the renewal, she set the price even higher than before.
She didn't expect Qi Lu Novel Network to refuse.
They still thought the price was too high and unacceptable.
If Qin Feixu had the authority to decide, she wouldn't even want to cooperate with them anymore.
But it was still up to Xu Lian to make the decision.
Qin Feixu knew her responsibilities.
"They think the fee is too high?"
President Xu asked curiously after hearing her reply, "How much did you ask for? That they want to lower the price?"
President Xu had a rough idea of Qin Feixu's asking price.
If it was really too high, lowering it a bit wouldn't matter.
But after hearing Qin Feixu's words, his thoughts changed.
"I discussed ten billion a year with Qi Lu Novel Network, but they want to lower it to seven billion, and they also want the copyright for all of our company's games to write novels."
Qin Feixu said angrily, "Ten billion for just the Dungeon & Fighter copyright is indeed a bit high, but Qi Lu Novel Network wants the copyright for all of our company's games. This is not high at all, okay? It's already very affordable, but they still want to lower the price!"
"It's truly infuriating. If I were in charge of Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, I would really be too lazy to deal with them!"
Qin Feixu said with great dissatisfaction.
The meaning in her words was clearly that she didn't want Xu Lian to agree to Qi Lu Novel Network's conditions.
Although this wouldn't cause losses for the company, it was very uncomfortable.
"This price is indeed a bit high, but it's not outrageous," President Xu nodded in agreement, then added, "But they want to buy the copyright for all of our games for seven billion, which is like trying to get a bargain.
Seven billion for so many things? Where would you find such a good deal!" If it were just for the Dungeon & Fighter copyright, President Xu wouldn't be too bothered; he would have given it for seven billion.
But now it involved all the games under the entire Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, which was a bit excessive, even quite unreasonable! It was simply illogical!
"Even for the Dungeon & Fighter copyright, ten billion isn't expensive, okay? What's more, it's for all of Aoyou Tianxia's games. You know we have a very wide variety of games!"
Qin Feixu said somewhat helplessly, "If we at Aoyou Tianxia had authors, we could completely write novels ourselves and earn this money. Why should we give it to others?"
Qin Feixu spoke with a hint of resentment.
Although they had thought about this aspect before, it had been delayed for various reasons and had never been implemented.
