Chapter 1400: Can’t Handle It, There’s a Boss

Chapter 1400: Unable to handle, boss Wu Zhaopu took out a yellow cassette and shook it in front of Lin Feng a few times, with a proud look on his face. (Read novel)

Lin Feng took a closer look and took a breath of cool air. This yellow cassette, isn't it the cassette of the game he often played when he was a child - "Contra".

"Boss Wu, this is..." Lin Feng was touched when holding the cassette.

When he was a child, he dreamed about this cassette for a long time, and begged his parents for a long time before he got such a cassette. After getting it, he couldn't sleep all night. Every day when he turned on the computer, he would "up and down baba" to enter the secret book and start the 30-life level. Lin Feng remembered that he loved to use the "laser" weapon in it the most. Although the range was relatively single and could only attack in a straight line, the power was extremely huge, especially when the "bullet" key was pressed, the "laser" accumulated at the muzzle, and the power was the greatest at that time.

Of course, Lin Feng also likes to use a kind of bullet that can only hit single-line beans. After "eating" a bullet acceleration prop, the beans are like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, which is quite cool.

A sigh. This "Contra" has brought laughter to countless people and filled countless people's childhoods with fun!

"By the way, Mr. Wu, how did you get the copyright of "Contra"?" Lin Feng was surprised.

Lin Feng remembered that "Contra" was a super hot work of "" company. It was a game that was enough to compete with "Super Mario" back then. Lin Feng also remembered that many subsequent works were launched later, but most of them were not as popular as this original "Contra". But now Lin Feng is curious about how Wu Zhaopu was able to get the copyright of "Contra" from "" company, even though "Contra" has declined now, its reputation is not small.

"Haha, boss, this is a coincidence. Now there are rumors in the industry that EA is developing "FA-NE" and is preparing to launch it this year. Therefore, EA, which has been competing with EA in the football game market, also wants to launch a corresponding version of "PES NE", so it took the initiative to find us, hoping to cooperate with our company, and both parties will jointly develop "PES NE", and our company will exclusively operate "PES NE." Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng was surprised. He didn't expect that Japan would take the initiative to find his company. This is a very rare thing. You know that he has a bad impression in the hearts of the Japanese and is a standard "anti-Japanese" element. I didn't expect that the famous Japanese company "" would actually find me. This really surprised Lin Feng.

"Haha, boss, this world is a very realistic money society, and the rich are the boss. Now our company occupies 70% of the global online game market share, and Asia occupies 90%. If EA doesn't cooperate with us, who will it cooperate with? What's more, EA is looking for South Korea this time, and naturally it is unwilling to give up such a large market and let EA dominate the market." Wu Zhaopu explained with a smile.

Lin Feng thought about it,

and it is indeed the case. The football game market cake is so big, and in the previous stage, only two companies in the world had football games recognized by players, one is "EA" and the other is "EA". Now that "EA" is ready to enter the online football game market, EA will naturally not let it go, but Japanese game companies are far less capable than them in the home console game market. When it comes to online game development and operation, looking around the world, who else can be the "Second World"!

"So, boss, I took the copyright of "Contra". Originally, '' was unwilling to let go, but after I bought it for a high price of 1 million RMB, for the sake of cooperation between the two parties, '' agreed." Wu Zhaopu laughed.

When Wu Zhaopu first contacted "'", he aimed at "Contra". Originally, Lin Feng proposed an activity plan for "nostalgic games", and Wu Zhaopu had been searching for those games that had once made countless players dream. It happened that "' took the initiative to deliver it to the door. If Wu Zhaopu still didn't know how to pluck feathers from a passing goose, it would be too much to underestimate Wu Zhaopu's IQ.

As for the price of 1 million RMB, it is not low for today's "Contra". Although it once brought hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to "'", it was in the past after all. The past is over, and people can't always live in the past!

"By the way, boss, regarding the cooperation with "', I told them to wait for you to come back and talk to you in person." Wu Zhaopu gave Lin Feng a wicked look. Originally, Wu Zhaopu could have hosted this negotiation himself. However, judging from the history of negotiations of the "Second World", Lin Feng's participation in the negotiations usually brought him some unexpected benefits, and he could get something from his negotiating opponent that might not seem useful now, but would be very useful in the future.

And every time such negotiations were hosted by Lin Feng himself, so Wu Zhaopu left this negotiation with "" to Lin Feng. First, he hoped that Lin Feng could get more things from the Japanese; second, Lin Feng's own "Second Game" was about to launch the "Dream" game console, and needed the support of the game company, so he wanted to see if he could dig "" this time. Third, Lin Feng's relationship with the Japanese was not good, and this time "" came to ask for his help, so who else could he leave this good thing to if not Lin Feng?

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Wu!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder. His "Second Entertainment" is about to launch a handheld game console that has been developed for 2 years. Now it only needs the support of various game companies. And Fengjian Erisa contacted many Japanese game software companies, but most of them refused to develop games for the game console of "Second Game" because of the relationship between Lin Feng and Japan. Only a few small game companies are willing to develop games for "Second Game". But it is difficult for small game companies to produce blockbuster games.

And if a game console is not supported by enough excellent works, it will definitely not sell well. No matter how good the console is, it is useless without hardware. This time "" took the initiative to deliver it to the door, which is a good opportunity.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, considering the fame of "Contra", it is not a loss to spend 1 million to buy its copyright, but have you thought about how to use it to make money?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Contra" is a horizontal scrolling shooting game. It is not easy to adapt it into an online game. And how to make back the one million is a problem. After all, the company is not a charity. If you spend money, you have to make it back! Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to see if Wu Zhaopu had any suggestions.

Who would have thought!

"Uh, no. When I bought it, I just came for the fame of "Contra". You know, "Contra" has a huge reputation all over the world, and it has loyal fans all over the world in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Therefore, I bought it." Wu Zhaopu answered very irresponsibly, "As for how to adapt it to make money, I think you are an authority in this area. The games you adapted are all very good. I think you will definitely come up with a way."

Lin Feng was speechless on the spot. Tell me, what kind of person is this? He actually bought the copyright of the game back and didn't take responsibility, and just gave it to himself. He really thinks he is Doraemon, who can come up with all kinds of ideas anytime and anywhere.

"Okay, I'll think about this first. Anyway, 1 million is not expensive, and it's worth it to be able to get the copyright of "Contra." Lin Feng thought for a while, his mind was temporarily confused, and he couldn't think of any ideas, so he put it aside for the time being. Sometimes things are like this. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being. After a while, maybe you will have another inspiration.

"By the way, how are the three web games going?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

"Boss, don't worry, "Gundam" will be available for public testing in early July, "Three Kingdoms" will be available for public testing in the second half of the month, and "Star Change" will not be available for public testing until August." Wu Zhaopu replied.

Lin Feng nodded, and then came to the 99th floor of the company, his comfortable and luxurious office.

Standing at the window, looking at the endless stream of people under his feet and the white clouds floating in the sky in the distance, his mind was clear. This feeling of climbing high and looking far away always makes people so comfortable. So how should "Contra" be transformed?

Lin Feng pondered for a while.

"Contra" is a horizontal scrolling shooting game with a variety of weapon options, but the game character itself has no possibility of upgrading, and there is no blood volume, which means it will be killed with one shot. Of course, some upgraded versions of "Contra" still have blood volume. But how can such a game be adapted into an online game?

The simplest way is to use the charm of "Contra" and adapt it into a shooting online game. This is the simplest. And it is not too troublesome to adapt it. Just add a few weapon types and add character upgrade modes.

But now "Second World" will have a first-person shooter of the year next year, "World War", which has cost more than 1.3 billion US dollars. If we develop another "Contra" at this moment, it may not be appropriate. After all, games of the same type are all enemies.

Since the first-person shooter doesn't work, what about the third-person shooter? ——This is a good idea, but the third person and the first person are not much different, and "World War" also allows players to switch perspectives freely. It can be said that if "Contra" is adapted into a third-person shooting online game, it will be no different from a first-person shooting online game.

Since shooting online games don't work, what about other types? Lin Feng thought of several types in a row, and none of them were suitable. Can't "Contra" be adapted into an online game? ——Lin Feng frowned secretly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into Lin Feng's mind.
