Chapter 121 EIN's Reaction

Johnson sits leisurely in the top office of EIN's headquarters, sipping fragrant coffee while watching the company's financial report last month.

As the world's largest commercial game engine company, EIN's monthly revenue is quite amazing. Coupled with the games produced by its several studios, EIN's monthly revenue is quite amazing.

Johnson is the CEO of EIN. He also owns 1.2% of the shares and has a place on the board of directors. Coupled with the prosperous performance of EIN over the years, his CEO position is as stable as a mountain.

"This month's engine revenue increased by 4.5% year-on-year compared to the previous month, which is less than expected. Fortunately, I have increased the license fee for C-Unity. I believe this month's financial report will look much better. "

As soon as Johnson put down the financial report, there was a knock on the door of the office. The secretary's sweet voice called: "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Evan from the engine department wants to see you, saying that there is a very urgent matter. "

There should be nothing wrong with the engine department right now?

Johnson really couldn't think of what Evan was so anxious about to see himself, so he said, "Let him in."

The door opened, and Evan walked into the office in three and two steps. Before sitting down, he said anxiously: "Mr. Johnson, more than 40% of the game manufacturers in China have stopped C-Unity. More than 20% of manufacturers will stop renewing their contracts after the end of the authorization period!"

Johnson widened his eyes and said with an incredible look: "How is it possible? Has Huaxia stopped playing games? How dare they stop renewing our contract?!"

At this time, the secretary brought coffee, Evan took a big sip to moisturize his throat, and said: "Because the company of China Mythology Network announced that it will commercialize its own fantasy game engine, and its performance can basically be equal to C-Unity. The license fee is only 50% of ours..."

"This is impossible!"

Johnson didn’t believe that China would have engines that could be equal to its own C-Unity. Several of China’s large game manufacturers had self-developed engines, he knew, but most of these engines only met a certain type of game, and other types of games. The effect of the game will be greatly reduced, which is one of the reasons why these game manufacturers know that their engines make money but do not commercialize them.

As for the general-purpose engine like C-Unity, Huaxia can not get any of them. There are several free and open source engines that are not worth noting.

When did China Huaxia release a general-purpose game engine that has the same performance as C-Unity?

Evan said with a bitter face: "Mr. Johnson, what I said is true. Maybe you have to watch this video first, explaining that I have all let our people speak in English."

Johnson took the tablet computer that Evan handed over, and a commentary video about the game engine was playing on the screen. Judging from the text that appeared in the video, it was indeed transmitted from Huaxia.

Fortunately, Evan intimately changed the commentary in the video to English, otherwise he would not understand what it said at all.

After the 30-minute commentary video ended, Johnson no longer had a relaxed look on his face. Instead, his face was full of dignity. Even if the performance of this game engine called Fantasy Game Engine is only 80% of the introduction in this video, then Huaxia is there. A large number of customers will also be lost.

It is normal for several game manufacturers to cancel the contract renewal, but at the same time so many customers stop renewing the contract at the same time, which is very abnormal. Johnson suddenly asked: "Evan, have you tested this engine?"

Evan said: "Mr. Johnson, because this engine does not have an English version yet, and the interface is all in Chinese, I found a Chinese who understands and tested it together. The result... The result shows that the performance of this engine is really basic. It’s on par with our C-Unity, and even surpasses it in some projects."

Johnson frowned. He knew that Evan would not lie to him, so it seemed that this fantasy game engine could really pose a threat to C-Unity.

what does this mean?

It means that C-Unity's absolute advantage in the general-purpose game engine of mobile games is gone. C-Unity will soon have a bayonet war with the new fantasy game engine in the field of game engines.

Johnson took a few long, deep breaths and asked, "In addition to performance, what are the characteristics of this newly emerging engine?"

"Features?" Evan gave a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Especially it is easy to learn and easy to use. You can master the use of this engine with only a low learning cost, and at least it can improve The efficiency of programmers is more than 30%, which I have confirmed by old Paul..."

"Kang Dang!"

The coffee cup that Johnson held in his hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. The hot coffee spilled on his pants but he didn't seem to notice. He trembled and asked, "Evan, are you sure?"

Evan nodded very ugly: "I'm sure!"

Although Johnson is not a programmer, he deeply understands how to increase the efficiency of programmers by 30%, which attracts game developers all over the world, not to mention that the licensing fee is 50% cheaper than his own.

This can't be played!

This is completely a dimensionality reduction blow!

Johnson's original response was to lower the price, and immediately announced the cancellation of the last price increase, and then part of the supporting art, bone models and textures and other resources were free of charge and part of the price was reduced, so that at least a large part of the users could be stabilized.

After so many years of iteration, C-Unity has accumulated a huge amount of related resources. A small part of these resources on the official website is free for all users to use, and some of them need to be paid to use. Just relying on these resources, EIN has problems. The Philippines is income.

Johnson thought that the rank of the fantasy game engine was the same stubborn bronze as him, but he did not expect that the true rank of his opponent was glory gold.

This is not fun at all!

It’s just that a simple price reduction does not seem to be able to cope with the offensive of Vision Games. Johnson suddenly asked as if thinking of something: “Just now you said that the Fantasy Game Engine is owned by Shinhwa Network. The one with the two games of Minecraft?"

Evan looked at Johnson in confusion: "Yes, I have already said it."

Johnson's gloomy face became cold again, as if water could drip out at any time, he shouted loudly: "Kelly, go and notify the heads of all departments. We will have a meeting in the conference room at 2 o'clock this afternoon!"

The secretary responded outside, and Johnson turned his head to look at Evan: "Evan, before two o'clock this afternoon, can you send me all the details of the fantasy game engine?"

Evan nodded again and again: "Of course I can, I'll go back and start preparing."

Johnson waved his hand: "Go."
