Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 326 Stability Above All

After hanging up the phone, Brian looked constipated and aggrieved. Didn't he just want to make more money? What did he do wrong? Now he has become a rat crossing the street. Not everyone is shouting and beating him, but everyone is pulling out guns.

Otherwise he wouldn't be hiding in a private estate dozens of miles away from the city.

Later, the former co-publisher of Bian'an spoke out again in the media, telling the grievances he suffered throughout the article. In fact, it was all Bian's fault. If Bian had agreed to the profit-sharing terms, these things would not have happened. Now, Clash of Clans is a game that belongs to us, and its appearance is the real dawn of Western games.
The majority of players are not easily fooled, and they will output as follows.

"Weren't you the ones who unplugged the line first? What does this have to do with the other side?"

"Compared to the other side, you are the foreign traitors who have infiltrated us!"

"I checked Clash of Clans and it's a small Finnish company, not ours"

"Boycott Clash of Clans, starting with me!"

"Boycott Clash of Clans, start with me +999"

The demonstration was live-streamed by netizens and reported by mainstream media. At the White House's regular press conference that day, an ABC reporter asked the press spokesperson about the matter.

The spokesperson didn't want to answer this question. The other side? A small company in China with only a few billion in revenue was not even qualified for him to answer, but he had to respond to the demonstrations and shootings.

If we follow the old ways, of course we will protect our own corporate interests from loss, regardless of right or wrong. However, the timing of this incident is not very good. Both economic and global issues require China's support and cooperation, and the relations between the countries represented by the two parties involved are currently stabilizing.

All factors point to one core reason. This year there will be a general election. If President Obama wants to be re-elected, there can be no mistakes. Therefore, we do not want to intensify the conflict between the two sides. For the sake of safety, the spokesperson took the attitude of making a big deal out of a small matter and answered the question evasively.
"Capital has its own way of playing, players have their own demands, and games have no borders. We call on both sides to stabilize the overall situation, calm down first, and solve their respective core problems. If radical actions continue, we will take corresponding actions to prevent things from developing further."

The news spread across the oceans back to China. During the official Q&A session, a reporter from the Global Times asked, "What do you think of the fact that the other side produced the globally popular mobile game "Ancient Wars", which led to demonstrations around the world, and is this considered cultural invasion and provoking conflicts and disputes?"

As a spokesperson who has experienced so many things, how could he not know the other party's sinister intentions? He had a proud and coquettish expression on his face, but his answer was flawless.
"I don't know much about video games, but thank you for bringing this game and this company to my attention. It must be a high-quality game to be popular all over the world." Then he heard the assistant next to him explain a few words.
". I just heard that it contains the evolution of various civilizations. China has a long history of 5,000 years. From game exports to cultural exports, our country has always adhered to it." The spokesperson spoke for a few more minutes before stopping.

"I hope that the media can report what I just said truthfully. Okay, next one!"

With the official characterization of this incident by domestic and foreign officials, the ancient war has been given a yellow jacket.
But the good news is that the other side announced the resumption of the game.

The crowd of demonstrators dispersed and went home to download the new client.

Later, some recordings inexplicably appeared on the Internet. It was a recording of a former distributor of Bi'an secretly approaching Bi'an to ask for a reconciliation, and even suggested a 46:6 split, of course % of which would be from Bi'an. This was ridiculed by netizens at home and abroad.
"Don't be a coward, we still like your previous rebellious look!"

"That's right. My knees are weak now. Even though the other side belongs to China, there's nothing wrong with me standing on that side this time!"

"Damn, through these things I finally see the ugly side of capitalism. What have I done before?"

"There is an old saying in the East: If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen to do it in the first place. Thanks to the other side, the several thousand yuan I invested before was not wasted."

March 7, 24 am.

The international servers of Clash of Clans and Ancient Wars are launched simultaneously.
When you have invested countless energy and money in a game, achieved certain achievements and status in it, established social relationships such as comrades-in-arms and friends, and also received an unprecedented gift package of nearly a thousand yuan worth of compensation for the suspension of the game when you enter the game.

Although the other game is similar to it, everything is new, which means you have to start over again. In addition, the operator has a history of forcibly suspending services and has been labeled as a "foreign traitor."

Which one would you choose if you came across these two?
No matter what you choose, all the Ancient War players around the world follow their hearts and make their own choices.

Deserted and crowded are antonyms, the former describes "Clash of Clans" and the latter describes "Ancient War".

Same game, different fate.

On July 7, according to statistics, there are 24 Clash of Clans players worldwide!
As for Ancient War, due to the influence of this event, it successfully attracted a wave of new players to join the game, and the number of players has increased instead of decreased.

After watching the explanation and analysis of the game anchor, many new players found that the mobile game Ancient War seemed to be really awesome and full of immersion, so they chose to get into it.

This is because although the previous war was lost due to innocent crimes, it gave the top leaders of the Western Federation hope of victory, proving that the previous strategy was effective and feasible.

For this purpose, a new round of "recruitment" work began.

Now that the two sides have fought to this point, their high-end combat power has basically been determined. Although the Eastern Alliance has the advantage in numbers, the overall combat power of both sides is at a balanced level. What will happen next, apart from the strategic and tactical aspects, is it not a competition of fresh blood, that is, more fresh troops! For them, the plan for the second battle between the East and the West has already begun to brew.

All the Ancient War players were beaming with joy after receiving the gift packs, except for the Japanese and Korean players who were both happy and sad. After logging in, they found that their "home" was gone!
This is because the server of Bi'an was suspended and the data was not rolled back. Before the suspension, the Japan-Korea alliance had been beaten by China to the capital and was protected by the system shield.

According to the game mechanism, if the capital city accidentally fails to occupy a city for three days and the situation does not change, the country will be annexed and become its subordinate force.

In the past, when similar situations occurred, there was always strong support from the United States, but this time, You Know
The leaders of the Japan-ROK alliance regretted their actions so much that their intestines turned green. Impulsiveness is the devil, and is the devil something that can be provoked? Now, in the midst of fighting, their own base camp was destroyed. They really let down their ancestors. Oh, they didn't
Brian was the one who was so upset that his intestines turned purple. He saw that the number of online players in Clash of Clans was less than one-tenth of the original number, and a large number of servers in the company were idle.

He felt like a gambler who had already gone all in, but failed in his double bet and ended up losing all his capital. In the end, the dealer took pity on him and gave him a small chip as a souvenir.

Their publisher alliance has fallen apart, and they are only maintaining the normal operation of "Clash of Clans" for the sake of appearance. It's not that these people are impatient, but no one can accept such a huge gap.

A group that is united by interests will also be dissolved by interests.
It's not that he didn't think about seeking reconciliation with Bi'an, but after saying so many nice things, Li Jianchao even blacklisted his phone number and he couldn't get through to her at all. It was the same for both the person and the company.

Now he could go back to his own company, but he was still terrified, fearing that someone would pop out from nowhere and give him an American-style sword-drawing blow.

Therefore, he came to the company with a sense of stealing. Brian stared blankly at the excellent financial report of the previous quarter, and everything seemed to be an illusion.

Brian's assistant saw that his boss seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days.
"It's not that there is no chance. As long as the lawsuit is successful and the court sides with THQ, it will shut down Ancient War again. We still have a chance to get on the table, right!"

Brian's eyes gradually light up. This is his last hope of a comeback.
The United States District Court for the District of California, where THQ's headquarters is located, issued a verdict in the case filed by THQ against the other side in just three days.

The judge ruled that since THQ breached the contract first, according to the contract signed by both parties at that time, the subsequent unilateral termination request of Bi'an was reasonable, compliant and legal. As for the issues such as game data privacy, they will be handled separately and the judgment will be announced at a later date.
After leaving the court, the judge was puzzled by the case and asked the presiding judge, "Based on the testimonies of both parties, they should each be given fifty lashes. Why do you prefer the other side?"

The chief judge looked at his trusted assistant and said,

"Didn't you see the demonstrations a while ago? If the other side loses the case and the servers are shut down again, do you think those fanatics who are like religious believers will go and besiege THQ headquarters, or come and block us at the door of our court? Will you take the bullet for me then?"

"Uh, this."

"And it's clearly written that you should watch the evening news more often. It's obvious that you don't care about national affairs. I've left you a task: watch NBC News (US News Network) on time every night!"

"Oh well!"

Similar scenes basically occurred in courts around the world that handled this case. After all, humans are animals that seek profit and avoid harm, and foreign judges are also human beings.

If we were to say who is the happiest about the recent series of events involving "Ancient War", Chen Mo, who can finally get all the overseas revenue of Ancient War without any share, can only rank second.

The first one must be Li Jianchao. In order to deal with this situation, he and his subordinates have been working very hard in the past few months after the New Year.

It is necessary to coordinate various matters in various overseas regions, coordinate various resources, and deal with the political and business circles in various places.

He was really exhausted both physically and mentally, and there was a great possibility that everything he had done would have been in vain.

After all, we should be prepared for disasters only when there are disasters.

If there is no disaster, backup will always be the hidden shadow behind.

Fortunately, it turned out that the boss's decision was right and everything was worth it.

He has been having a very good time recently, which is even more enjoyable than eating popsicles in the dog days of summer.

At the beginning of the year, Bi'an was negotiating cooperation with those damn publishers like THQ. He and his team said all the good things, and even played a trick of two peaches to kill three warriors before they could seek equal voice.

What's the point? It's because of the arrogance of the foreigners.

And now? The little foreigner called him every few days, and his tone became more humble than the last. He was even forced to learn Chinese to apologize.

As the saying goes, good things happen in the world. You ignored me before.
Now? Excuse me, am I, Li Jianchao, someone you can't even dream of marrying?
This really shows that they don't take him, the top leader overseas, seriously!
