Chapter 472 Seeking Control of Valve Company

The fat G at the other end of the video conference did not see Huang Zheng's little temper.

To be honest, with the current public beta results of Dota 2, the unpleasant problems that occurred during the cooperation between the two parties are no longer important, because he knows that there is more important thing to talk about in this video conference today, that is Huizhong wants Take control of Valve!

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Huang, the results in China are indeed surprising. We are also very willing to respect and adopt your opinions more in the follow-up development and operation!" G Fat has long understood the theme of today's meeting What is it, so I don't want to argue with Huang Zheng on such trivial matters.

Huang Zheng smiled softly in his heart. He saw that Fatty G was a little absent-minded, and he knew why he was absent-minded. Huang Zheng turned his head and glanced at Fang Zhe, waiting for instructions from the big boss.

Fang Zhe nodded gently to him.

The huge number of users of Dota2 in China determines that Huizhong cannot be satisfied with the right to speak in Dota2. Just like Tencent and League of Legends developer Riot, more than 70% of League of Legends users are in China. Tencent How can you be satisfied with such a small company as Fist and take away so many benefits?

Later, Tencent simply bought Riot to protect its control of League of Legends, but in Dota2, the situation is different, because Valve is a well-known large company in the global game industry, and Fang Zhe cannot be like Tencent can handle it as easily as it did with Fist.

After seeing Fang Zhe nod his head, Huang Zheng continued to act as a pioneer and said: "Mr. Newell, you must have seen the fax document that I sent you before to further strengthen our cooperation!"

"Come on!" G Fat on the other side of the video conference is wary. In fact, Huizhong has been acting as an agent for Steam China and has cooperated with Valve for more than two years. As Steam China contributes more and more revenue to Valve, G Fat There is also growing concern that there will be situations such as "the tail will not drop" and "the power is high."

But let Valve abandon Steam China, and abandon the Chinese market that has already tasted a lot of sweetness. G Fat and Vlave executives are absolutely unwilling. Therefore, G Fat has pretended not to Huizhong’s many previous hints. Know, use procrastination tactics.

Until this time, Huizhong completely put this matter on the table!

More than a day ago, when the executives of G Fat and Valve were excited and celebrating the great results of the Dota2 global public beta, a document faxed by Huizhong far across the ocean made him and the Valve executives excited. It got cold.

In Gein's so-called document to strengthen cooperation, Huizhong directly and blatantly expressed the hope that Valve can be controlled, not a share, but a holding and controlling Valve!

When they first saw this document, the executives of Fatty G and Valve were outraged. In their opinion, Huizhong was simply an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. It wasn't Valve that gave Huizhong the agency rights of Steam China. How could Huizhong become the number one game manufacturer and publisher in the global game industry today?

If it weren't for Dota2's outstanding performance and outstanding performance in China, why is Huizhong so arrogant that it started to blatantly want to control their Valve company?

Angry to anger, anger to anger, but when G Fat and Valve had calmed down before reading this document, they had to face a cruel reality with a wry smile on their faces, that is, Valve has left now. We do not open Huizhong, but Huizhong can easily get rid of Valve!

First of all, today's Steam China, with its huge total number of users, is already detached from the Steam world controlled by Valve, and because of Huizhong's huge strength and continuous efforts on Steam China, through the Steam China Original Game Developers Conference, Launched the Huizhong Cloud game development solution and one-stop service from R&D to release. Many global game developers and game manufacturers have begun to bypass Valve and directly cooperate with Steam China, even if Valve now takes back Steam China’s agency rights , Huizhong is also fully capable of building a new steam China immediately.

What's more, the high default fee in the cooperation agreement between the two parties may not be able to afford to sell the entire Valve company, because the executives of G Fat and Valve company never expected that there would be so many Steam China users. The profits that steam China brings to Valve are so big!

Even if they can completely break up with Huizhong, think about Huizhong, which has tens of millions of users, start a new battle with Valve. In the face of Huizhong's strong strength, Steam's global business will be vulnerable!

Now, judging from the public beta of Dota2, we have encountered the same situation as Steam, that is, there are too many players in China, so many that Valve has given up the market, which is tantamount to cutting a large piece of meat on itself. !

But if you cut the meat, cut it, it's better than selling it!

"President Fang, I have indeed seen your company’s plan. Since the establishment of Valve in 1996, many things have not been easily decided by me alone, but I have a better alternative cooperation plan. If you have If you are interested, I will ask the secretary to fax you over!"

In the video conference, Fat G found Fang Zhe directly. He knew that Huang Zheng, who was "judged" from Valve, could only be regarded as a message in this matter. The one who can really make the decision depends on sitting in the main position. Fang Zhe who said nothing.

After Fang Zhe nodded, Fatty asked his secretary to start faxing documents on the spot. At this end, Li Wen also walked to the fax machine in the conference room, received the fax documents from the other party, sorted them out and handed them to Fang Zhe.

Fang Zhe looked at the document quietly, and the meeting rooms on both sides fell silent, and both sides were waiting for Fang Zhe's decision.

Two or three minutes later, Fang Zhe, who had briefly read the document, raised his head and shook his head towards Fat G at the other end of the video conference, and said, "Mr. Newell, I still think our cooperation plan is better!"

Hearing this, the executives of Fatty G and Valve at the other end of the video conference all had a sigh of relief. Two or three of them even had angry and unhappy faces on their faces.

They did not expect that after they paid such a high price, Fang Zhe and Huizhong still insisted on taking control of Valve, because in the alternative cooperation plan proposed by Valve, the courageous Valve actually decided to break his wrist and give up Dota2. All profits in China will be exchanged for Huizhong to give up holding Valve Company!

But this little profit is a joke in Fang Zhe's eyes. Dota2 China's profits have been given up, but what about Steam China?

With the expansion of Steam China, Fang Zhe and Huizhong are no longer satisfied with sending so many benefits to Valve in vain, and even Fang Zhe has been eyeing the global operation rights of Dota2 and Steam and Valve, an established game development company!

No way, capitalists are always insatiable, and Fang Zhe is becoming more and more like an authentic capitalist!
