Blackmail! This is naked blackmail!

Wang Zhidong's eyes were filled with anger.

"Boss, just now, the commercial price of winzip was announced on a website in the United States that specializes in selling software, which is US$1 billion!" The technical director hurried over to report.

"What!" Wang Zhidong exclaimed.

This is too perverted.

Selling for $1 billion! This is a joke.

Indeed, it is indeed a joke to sell a small software for 1 billion US dollars.

This is too exaggerated.

This not only made Wang Zhidong feel exaggerated, but also shocked the American IT community.

Although one billion U.S. dollars is said to be a small number in the United States today, especially in the IT industry, various mergers and acquisitions have been emerging in an endless stream in recent years. It is not uncommon for companies to be worth tens of billions of dollars.

But the question is, if a little-known piece of software sells for US$1 billion, is this too exaggerated?

Especially before this, it was completely free.

Now for commercial use, it would be 1 billion US dollars. Do you want to be so exaggerated?

Naturally, the United States does not know what happened on the Chinese side. It just feels that it is too sudden and too exaggerated.

However, even though everyone is talking a lot and commenting that it is not worth so much money, at least the outside world also recognizes this pricing.

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, as the owner of winzip, it is not impossible to price it at US$1 billion.

People have this right. Even if a stone on the side of the road is put up for public auction for a billion dollars, that is their right. As long as there is no fraud involved.

But now, in this way, he is a general.

This makes Wang Zhidong feel a bit unable to step down.

"Do we really have to pay so much?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"Theoretically, it must be proven that it is really worth that much money before it needs to be paid," the legal adviser said. "If no one cares about it, that's no problem."

"Then what should we do if no one cares?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"Then we need to find a third party to evaluate it and then pay compensation!" said the legal consultant. "Of course, all the expenses involved will be borne by us if we lose the lawsuit in the end. Therefore, it is usually international practice to deal with this.

All matters must be negotiated and negotiated!"

Negotiation and peace talks? Doesn’t that mean we have to go to Jiang Yong?

Thinking of a few days ago, when Jiang Yong came over and was turned away by me, and now I went to find him, wouldn't that be a humiliation for him? He won't go, absolutely not!

The legal advisor looked at the indignant Wang Zhidong and opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.

In this matter, the best option is to negotiate.

As for face or not, that really doesn’t matter. What matters is money. If you lose face, you can still earn it back.

On the contrary, this loss is real money. And the loss is so huge.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to say anything to Wang Zhidong at this time. He said too much and still didn't want to listen. He was only a legal consultant, not a business consultant.

The final decision is still in the hands of Wang Zhidong.

"There are many of them listed for sale on the website now. There should be contact information for them, so go talk to them!" Wang Zhidong looked at the marketing director and said.

The marketing director nodded.

Then log in to this website, which is the website that sells "Plants vs. Zombies". Of course, there are also some more games on it now, including some games from EA.

Because of the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies", this website that specializes in selling digital games has also become popular.

Nowadays, many players will log in to these websites to see if there are any games for sale. Naturally, some game companies have also seen business opportunities.

Simply selling games in physical stores can indeed give players a more intuitive understanding.

However, it also invisibly increases a lot of costs. For merchants, it is all about profit. Now that there is a better digital game platform, they will naturally choose it.

Except for a small platform commission, the rest is completely zero cost. As long as it is developed, it can be put up for sale. When players see it, they will pay to download it if they are interested.

For game companies, this is undoubtedly a very good sales method.

Especially for many small companies, this kind of sales platform is very suitable for them. After all, they don't have such a big market and such a large amount of money for publicity like those big companies.

Such a platform is an exposure window for them, giving more players the opportunity to access their games.

Therefore, platform games soon became more diverse.

And because there are many games, there are naturally more players. As the number of players increases, the big game companies are not to be outdone, and have also logged on to the platform to sell.

Because there are many big game company platforms, more players log in. Naturally, this forms a virtuous cycle and becomes the most important online digital game sales platform in the United States.

Of course, not only games are sold, but also many softwares. They can be put on it for sale.

It can be said that this online digital software sales platform called Lisa Online Platform is currently the most well-known sales platform in the world.

As for why those big game companies don't do this and would rather pay a little commission to the game platform, it's very simple. If a big game company does this, then other large game companies of the same type will never let their games be logged in.

After all, if you want to log in to a game platform created by a competitor, you will inevitably suffer some discrimination and even weakening of the rules.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. Therefore, this kind of third-party game platform that has nothing to do with game companies is undoubtedly the best sales channel.

Of course, there are no competitors. Of course there are. However, Lisa Online, relying on the wave of "Plants vs. Zombies", has already seized the opportunity.

In the Internet era, once you seize the opportunity, it will be difficult for latecomers to surpass you.

Because the players' habits have determined the market orientation.

Everyone has a habit in life, and it is difficult to change a habit that has been formed.

There is an old saying: There is nothing more terrible than a habit.

Therefore, Lisa Online has no competitors. In particular, Lisa operates the website in a fair, open, and impartial manner. It treats the games of large companies and the games of small companies equally. It will not be because of you.

What kind of discrimination is there against games developed by small companies? What preferential treatment is there for games developed by large companies?

Everything depends on the game itself to speak, and the ranking is determined by the players.
