Chapter 346

.

AMD was a company with a lot of capital. The cooperation plan they offered did indeed seem to be a one-sided benefit to them. After all, it was a world-class company. It was difficult for them to treat an opponent of different status equally.

Although Dream Entertainment Limited had a certain level of fame in Xia Xia and even the world, fame did not equate to strength!

AMD's annual turnover exceeded 0 billion USD, while Dream Entertainment Limited's registered capital was only 65 million USD. With such a huge difference in strength, it was impossible for AMD to treat them fairly from the start!

However, Dream Entertainment Limited had its own advantages. Whether or not they cooperated with AMD did not make much of a difference to Dream Entertainment Limited.

After all, "World of Bravehearts" was already well known throughout Xia Xia. Many gamers were eagerly waiting for "World of Bravehearts" to be released. Once "World of Bravehearts" was released, as long as it was not too bad, it would be highly sought after.

Could "World of Bravehearts" be a bad game?

Obviously not!

It had many game development teams, and the core operating system was developed by Shi Lei. How could it be a bad game?

AMD's Senior Vice President, Tom Clusi, could hear the dissatisfaction in Shi Lei's voice. He was not too surprised. After all, the proposal was only one of AMD's plans.

If Dream Entertainment Limited agreed, AMD would earn a lot of money out of thin air. Even if Dream Entertainment Limited did not agree, AMD could throw out other conditions.

"Mr. Shi, if you are not satisfied with the proposal, AMD can choose to pay a certain amount of remuneration and purchase the invitation code for" World of Bravehearts "alone!" Tom Clusi suggested.

Based on the popularity of "World of Bravehearts" and Dream Entertainment Limited's press conference, Shi Lei proposed special anti-hype restrictions. The first round of "World of Bravehearts" would be directly tied to the machine. Other than a few invitation codes that were directly sent out by the company, there were basically no invitation codes circulating in the outside world.

Currently, in the "World of Bravehearts" section of Vagrant Starry Sky, the first round of invitation code for "World of Bravehearts" had been hyped up to 67,555 USD!

Such a price was unprecedented in the history of Xia Xia's games!

In the past, the highest price for a game's closed beta invitation code was a few hundred yuan. There had never been a game's closed beta invitation code, and it was unknown if it had been deleted or not, but the price was as high as twelve thousand yuan!

There was a reason why the price was so high. First of all, there were very few invitation codes for World of the Brave in circulation. So far, only a reporter from Apple Daily had an invitation code for the closed beta test that was leaked to the outside world.

The closed beta invitation code in the hands of the Apple Daily reporter had been hyped up to NT $655,555 in Taiwan, which was more than NT $75,555 in Taiwanese dollars.

The second reason why the invitation code for World of Bravehearts was so expensive was because World of Bravehearts was a high-end game right from the start. During the press conference, Shi Lei had announced that World of Bravehearts had high requirements for existing computer hardware.

Other than some enthusiasts and thrifty game enthusiasts, most of the users who owned high-performance computer hardware were basically high-income people or second-generation heirs.

Regardless of whether they were high-income people or second-generation heirs, they did not lack money. What if they could not get the invitation code?

So, they kept refreshing the price of the invitation code for World of the Brave in the online world!

Shi Lei sneered at Tom Clusi's offer to buy the invitation code. He replied, "Mr. Tom, are you sure AMD wants to buy the invitation code for World of the Brave?"

"That's right! Mr. Shi, to show our sincerity, we are willing to buy the invitation code for World of the Brave! "Tom Clusi replied confidently.

Shi Lei sneered. This Tom Clusi did not notice the sarcasm in his tone. This was the difference between cultures!

"Mr. Tom, how much are you willing to buy the invitation code for World of the Brave?" Shi Lei asked with a weird tone.

Tom Clusi thought for a while and replied, "AMD is an honest company. We are willing to buy the invitation code for World of the Brave at the market price. We will buy it at the market price! "

Due to the fact that the first closed beta test of the "World of the Brave" would only be held in Xia Country and Taiwan, although the "World of the Brave" fame had spread to the Western world, it did not attract much attention from the Western world.

Therefore, Tom Clusi did not know that the invitation code for World of the Brave had been hyped to a terrifying price!

Shi Lei sneered, "Mr. Tom, are you sure you want to buy the invitation code for World of the Brave at the market price?"

"Of course!" The poor Tom Clusi did not realize that he had fallen into a trap.

"How many are you going to buy?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.

"Mr. Shi, how many invitation codes does Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. plan to distribute?" Tom Clusi thought he was smart. He thought to himself, 'Hmph, if they find out a lot, I will lower the price on purpose!'

Shi Lei thought about it for a moment. The official website of Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. needed to send out at least 655,555 invitation codes. They also needed to reserve some for themselves to prevent special events from happening. This number was temporarily set at 655,555. That meant that they could sell 855,555 invitation codes based on the maximum number of beta testers.

"Mr. Tom, we can sell at most 655,555 invitation codes for World of the Brave!" Shi Lei directly reduced the amount to one-third to avoid the other party having all sorts of reasons to bargain if he said the amount of 855,555 in one breath.

"655,555?" Tom Clusi thought 655,555 was a lot. After all, many games had less than 655,555 players online after they were released. "May I know how much Dream Entertainment Ltd. plans to sell each invitation code to AMD?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Tom, aren't you going to buy it at the market price? As of now, the market value of the invitation codes for World of the Brave is more than 65,555 Xia Xia Yuan! That's about 6,705 USD per invitation! "

If 65,555 Xia Xia Yuan per invitation code, then 655,555 invitation codes would be worth 6 billion Xia Xia Yuan!

Tom Clusi was shocked. "6,705 USD per invitation? That's enough to buy a high-performance computer! Mr. Shi, are you sure you're not exaggerating? "Tom Clusi used the idiom 'exaggerating' in Xia Xia.

"Mr. Tom, you can come to Xia Xia's internet world and do some research. You will know that I'm not exaggerating!" Shi Lei replied with a smile.

Tom Clusi wasn't easy to fool either. "Mr. Shi, even if the invitation code for the World of Bravehearts is maintained at a high price of 6705 USD, but if there are 655,555 invitation codes for the World of Bravehearts, it will definitely impact the market price. At that time, whether or not we can maintain the price of 65 USD is still a serious problem!"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "If that's the case, Mr. Tom, it seems like there's no basis for us to cooperate. We, Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. have high expectations for 'Brave World', and we will be very strict with the closed beta invitation code. As for AMD, your evaluation of World of the Brave is not high. That's why you have seriously underestimated the price of the invitation codes. Therefore, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reach an agreement! "

Tom Clusi was the Senior Vice President of AMD. In his opinion, the fact that he was willing to lower himself to negotiate with Shi Lei and that Dream Entertainment Ltd. could cooperate with AMD was their good fortune. They could be considered to have climbed up AMD's high branch.

Unfortunately, Tom Clusi didn't know how popular "The World of Bravehearts" was in China, nor did he know what kind of magic it had. Shi Lei was very clear about World of the Brave. Once World of the Brave was produced, it would definitely sweep the entire gaming market.

At that time, Dream Entertainment would rise completely. It might even be bigger than AMD in the future. Why should he lower himself to please AMD?

Tom Clusi was a little angry at Shi Lei's uncooperative attitude. He said angrily, "If that's the case, I'm sorry to disturb you!"

There was a busy tone from the phone. Tom Clusi had hung up the phone.

Shi Lei didn't have any regrets about not being able to reach an agreement with AMD. Dream Entertainment had no need to do something that would make them lose money!

Besides, if AMD could see the business opportunity, how could nVIDIA not see it?

In the personal computer graphics market, nVIDIA's market share had surpassed ATI. Since AMD could seek cooperation with Dream Entertainment for ATI, nVIDIA might be able to do the same!

Some personal computer manufacturers might even seek cooperation with Dream Entertainment!

Lijian Province, AMD's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California's Silicon Valley.

Tom Clusi hung up the phone angrily and said angrily, "Damn those Xia people. They're too arrogant!"

After listening to Tom Clusi's narration, Kira Katara, an AMD think tank member, said seriously, "Vice President Tom, I'm afraid we need to reposition our cooperation with Dream Entertainment!"

Tom Clusi was surprised and asked, "Why?"
