Chapter 64 Working Hours

(There's another chapter in the evening, ask for a ticket ~ ~)

The next day.

Carl looked helplessly at Andy, who had taken over his office. Andy looked over at the company's financial statements and took the phone to hear about the work of the CEO of the gaming company.

“Sorry, Blair, you know, I've been driving paparazzi crazy lately, and I need to go out and hide, and as for some of the issues that have arisen in game development, we can solve them in videoconferencing, and I believe in the capabilities of both development teams. ”

Andy closed the financial statements, rubbed Mingcao now, listened to Blair on the phone, his mouth twitched, and answered: "OpenGL game engine questions, I also just know a rough, um... Let's see, you set up a game engine development team in the company, whether it's recruiting or digging for the head hunter company, so that a new department can be set up as soon as possible, the future home console market will grow, we can't always use someone else's engine, it's the development of our own is the Wangdao. Yes, once it's in place, let them solve OPENGL's problem. My World is the top priority, and I hope to launch the first version by the end of this year. ”

“Boss," My World "is available as a PC version, should we look for technical support anti-piracy version?” Blair suggested.

“No, no, Blair, I understand what you mean, but for our new company, anti-piracy cheats outweigh profits, and we should now consider creating more value, creating fame, allowing players to play better games, giving them the games they want to play, instead of adding some messy anti-piracy system to reduce the content of the game itself and making players sick. ”

Andy knows that no matter how many new DRM piracy prevention technologies Denuvo has introduced in future generations, the most important thing is that this system will greatly affect the normal operation of the game, and they won't play unless the game you play is unique and irreplaceable, so instead of spending money on anti-theft technology, it's better to build a battle platform by then, which is the best anti-theft method.

“Once we've completed one or two versions, we can build a battle platform, which is the best way to prevent theft. All right, that's it. Let's talk on the phone about something.” Hanging up the phone, Andy quickly turned the financial statements to the last page, looked at the figures above, slightly silenced, and looked up at Carl.

“Aren't royalties on novels settled in six months? Why are you calling the money now? ”

“Hey, this isn't about strengthening cooperation, they're afraid you'll get dug up by other publishers, and you won't be in arrears.” Carl's cunning explanation, handed Andy another document, went on to say, "This is the ad share for the first season of the host show from the UK, £2.5 million. ”

“Ha ~ ~ So Independent TV alone has $780 million in advertising revenues? £2.5 million is just over $4 million, hey, that's unmatchable.” Andy's a little depressed in the gutter.

“Oh, it's good already, it's a long stream of fine water, we get an ad share every season, the most depressing should be the TV station, I just called NBC, they'll split the first season's ads into company accounts as soon as possible, there's about 5 million, plus royalties, this few months, our company's fixed income reaches tens of millions of dollars.” Carl was full of pride.

“Well, I'm running out of money right now, so, give me five million on my account, and when the NBC money reaches five million, the remaining one million will be put on the company account for daily expenses.” Considering that he still had less than five million in his account, Andy felt a little tight on his hands and decided to draw $10 million into his account.

Carl had a slight twitch on his fat face, the money had just arrived and had been smoked by Andy before it got warm. It really hurt a little ROU. Well, anyway, the company was supposed to be working as Andy's cash machine, and he nodded a little.

“Shit, what do you think of your face? Fat bastard, you've been paid a million a year. What else do you want? Besides, I'm really short of money, and I'm going to be short of money until '08, so whatever you have planned for the company, you have to wait, and when the time passes, I won't draw blood from the company anymore.” Andy saw Carl's constipated expression and scolded him without anger.

“Che, the copyright fee for the two comprehensive arts shows is 30 million yuan. You didn't even walk away. You intercepted it on the account of the investment company. Now you have to withdraw 10 million yuan. I can't be happy.” Carl leaves his mouth shut and says in disdain.

Andy understands that Carl sees copyright as his own business, and he's helpless and depressed about this blood-sucking behavior of Andy, and can only laugh and comfort: “Carl, I understand your mood, but I'm really useful, so let's just say, I'm going to be recording this afternoon, and I'm going to stay in the company for the profit of this single EP, okay? ”

Carl's eyes lit up and he hurried, “That's a deal! I've read a few novels. I want to buy the copyright. I want to add the company's reserves. After all, the company can't just operate your novel. And I heard that several other movie companies are packing and selling copyrights to some old movies. I also want to take them off. What do you think? ”

Andy looked at Karl with some surprise and listened to his thriving company plan. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He became a copyright company originally designed to serve him personally, saying that he didn't want to spend money and energy to develop and let Karl manage, also because he was the only person around him who could be trusted.

Now it seems that Carl is really focused, and his proposed development path is very robust. Instead of studying other Hollywood companies to invest in films, he chose to acquire some obscure novels, copyrights to old films.

“Well, there's no problem with your thinking. Now that you're tired, the influence of the talent show has spread. Contact the television stations of countries interested in purchasing copyrights and continue selling copyrights. The price can be reduced appropriately. It's best for the major countries around the world to see the talent show. Leave the money for the sale in the company. I'll write you an authorization later. ”

“Ha ha, great, thanks for the support, Andy.” Carl doesn't really care much about how much money the company can bring to him right now, he's pursuing career success, and he wants to be a big man and a powerful man.

In a country where the interests are paramount, where resources are in control, to a certain extent they represent power, others will respect, please, how can Andy not be excited to give them to him now?

He was thrilled and moved by a seemingly simple authorization document that contained Andy's trust and powers assigned to him.
