Chapter 356

.

Asustek was established in 6434. In 7552, Asustek's annual turnover exceeded 75 billion USD. In less than 75 years, Asustek grew from an unknown company to a world-class mega company. From this, one could see that Asustek's management was very advanced.

For example, when Asustek received the written notice from AMD, they immediately conducted research on Dream Entertainment Limited and World of Brave.

In just one afternoon, Asustek had already understood most of the situation regarding Dream Entertainment Limited and World of Brave.

After understanding the situation, Asustek immediately made a corresponding plan. Outside of AMD's cooperation framework, they would work with Dream Entertainment Limited alone!

Xu Wenyang was the person in charge of this cooperation. When Shi Lei asked Asustek how many invitation codes they needed for World of Brave, Xu Wenyang immediately replied, "Mr. Shi, how many more invitation codes can you sell? Asustek will buy all of them! "

Shi Lei thought to himself. He had already given AMD 655,555 invitation codes and exchanged them for more than 755 million RMB worth of supercomputers and 65 million RMB worth of supercomputers.

What benefits would Dream Entertainment Limited gain from selling the invitation codes to World of Brave to Asustek?

Although Asustek was very powerful, their products were not what Dream Entertainment Limited needed. Whether it was motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, or switches, Dream Entertainment Limited did not need any of them!

"Mr. Xu, I wonder what price Asustek is willing to pay in exchange for the invitation codes to World of Brave?" Shi Lei did not answer the specific question. Instead, he asked Xu Wenyang what trump card Asustek had that could move Dream Entertainment Limited.

Asustek had done research on Dream Entertainment Limited. They knew what Dream Entertainment Limited needed and did not need.

"Mr. Shi, Asustek is willing to pay in cash for the invitation codes to World of Brave." Xu Wenyang announced the demerit that Asustek had discussed with Asustek.

Since Dream Entertainment Limited could not directly barter, Asustek could only pay in cash.

Shi Lei smiled and asked, "Mr. Xu, I wonder what price Asustek is willing to pay for the invitation codes to World of Brave?"

"Mr. Shi, after careful calculation and careful consideration by Asustek, we are willing to pay the purchase price of RMB 6,555 for each invitation code to 'World of Heroes'!" Xu Wenyang revealed the result of Asustek's discussion.

Shi Lei chuckled but did not say anything.

It was just an invitation code to the closed beta of an online game, and it was unknown if it had been deleted or not, but the price was as high as 6,555 yuan each. It sounded like a fantasy story.

But in reality, all the world-class companies had carefully studied the subsidiaries under Mirui Technology and discovered the huge potential of World of Bravehearts. They knew that World of Bravehearts would set off an unparalleled wave in the gaming world!

As an epoch game, it would receive immeasurable attention... It wasn't unreasonable for a closed beta invitation code to cost 6555 RMB!

Even though Asustek had overestimated the value of the invitation codes to World of Brave, they had still underestimated it!

AMD had received a total of 655,555 invitation codes to World of Brave, and they had paid 765 million RMB. Although the supercomputer operating system was only a commercial version and could be sold repeatedly, it could be counted as zero cost.

But the real cost of the supercomputer was 755 million Xia RMB!

Based on the price AMD had paid and the number of invitation codes they had received, each invitation code to World of Brave was worth more than 7,555 RMB!

Therefore, Shi Lei only smiled and didn't answer Xu Wenyang's question.

Xu Wenyang's heart sank when he heard Shi Lei's silence on the phone. "The other party is not responding. Could it be that the other party is not satisfied with the price we offered?"

For the World of Brave closed beta invitation code, ASUS already thought that the price of 6,555 yuan per invitation was an earth-shattering price.

Asustek knew that the invitation code to World of Brave had been hyped up to more than 65,555 RMB on the internet. But that was a hungry market after all. Let alone 655,555 invitation codes, even if they invested 65,555 invitation codes at once, the price of the invitation codes for World of the Brave's closed beta would be greatly reduced!

With this attitude, Xu Wenyang, the senior vice president of Asustek, opened his mouth again, "Mr. Shi, regarding the closed beta test of 'Brave World', will Dream Entertainment Corporation retain the closed beta test data?"

If the closed beta of World of Brave retained the historical data of the players, then the invitation code to World of Brave would be more valuable. Asustek would increase the price according to the specific situation.

But if the closed beta did not retain the data of the players, and even limited the functions of the game, then the value of the invitation code would be greatly reduced!

Shi Lei chuckled. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. This is a trade secret of Dream Entertainment. The details of the closed beta of World of Brave will be officially announced on April 74th. At that time, I hope Mr. Xu will pay attention to the press conference of Dream Entertainment and our official website. "

Xu Wenyang was a little unhappy that he did not get the answer he wanted. After all, as the Senior Vice President of Asustek, Asustek's strength was far superior to Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. He even offered a high price of 6,555 yuan per invitation code. Yet, Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd.'s attitude was so cold that Xu Wenyang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Shi, regarding Asustek's offer of 6,555 RMB per invitation code, does your company not accept it?" Xu Wenyang could not help but ask again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. Dream Entertainment has already cooperated with AMD. The invitation code to World of Brave has been sold to AMD!" Shi Lei purposely found an excuse.

"I see!" Xu Wenyang pretended to be regretful. "If that's the case, then it's quite a pity!" In reality, Xu Wenyang knew that this was just an excuse by Shi Lei.

Was there a limit to the number of invitation codes for a game? Although Asustek did not deal in games, Xu Wenyang knew some things about games.

Invitation codes for closed beta could be as many as they wanted! At worst, they could just open more servers!

"Yes, it is indeed a pity! But Mr. Xu, your company can still cooperate with Dream Entertainment through AMD. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation! "Shi Lei was still polite.

"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!" Xu Wenyang and Shi Lei exchanged a few more pleasantries and hung up the phone.

Shi Lei hung up the phone in his hand with a cold smile on his face. "You want to buy the invitation code to World of Brave with just 6,555 RMB? You don't know what you're talking about!"

Shi Lei was full of confidence in World of Brave. With a dynamic behavior recognition engine, a voice system, a lip-reading system, and an eye tracking system, World of Brave's control system could reach the level of a somatosensory game.

With such an advanced control system, there was no need to worry about World of Brave's popularity.

"Asustek, Asustek, you'll come back and beg us!" Shi Lei thought to himself and decided to postpone the original plan.

Just as Shi Lei was about to make his move, the phone on the computer table rang again. The caller ID showed that it was from Taiwan. Shi Lei thought it was from Asustek. He smiled and answered the call.

On the other end of the phone, a man introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Shi. I am Lin Xiantong, the CEO of Microstar. "

Microstar was founded in 6431 and its headquarters was located in Taiwan. It was one of the top five motherboard manufacturers in the world and the top one graphics card manufacturer. They were not inferior to Asustek at all.

Microstar was also on AMD's list of graphics card partners.

Shi Lei was slightly taken aback, but then he replied politely, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Shi, first of all, please forgive me. I am a straightforward person. Our company is contacting Mr. Shi this time because we hope to reach an agreement with your company and have an in-depth cooperation with you regarding the 'World of the Brave', "Lin Xiantong stated his purpose very straightforwardly.

Shi Lei liked this kind of straightforward personality. He liked to beat around the bush, but his goal was the same. He might as well be straightforward.

"Mr. Lin, does Microstar also want to be independent of AMD and cooperate with Dream Entertainment on a deeper level?" Shi Lei said with a half-smile and revealed some simple information.

As long as Lin Xiantong was not an idiot, he would definitely understand what Shi Lei was trying to say.

As expected, Lin Xiantong asked directly, "Mr. Shi, have you been contacted by Asustek or Sapphire?"

Shi Lei did not hide anything. "Yes, Mr. Lin. Someone from Asustek has just contacted us."

Lin Xiantong's heart skipped a beat, but he did not ask about the final result between Shi Lei and Asustek. Unless Shi Lei was an idiot, he would not tell him the result of the negotiation.

"Mr. Shi, is it possible for your company to sell us the invitation to the beta test of World of Brave?" Lin Xiantong asked.

Shi Lei asked back, "What price are you willing to pay?"
