Chapter 375: Walking Into a Trap

Moreno's head was buzzing.

Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, one thing is now certain.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we still have to go towards the Tiger Mountains.

Even though I knew it was poisonous bait, I had to grit my teeth and swallow it, praying that I wouldn't be poisoned to death.

At this time, CMA officials repeatedly confirmed this matter with the representatives of Juhard Company and received a positive answer.

Approved the acquisition of Baofeng Entertainment by Juhard Company.

However, the acquisition process can only begin after the IP "Road to Paradise" is split off and the review of the other IP "War Zone" is completed.

This is just an appetizer.

"War Zone" is one of the two IPs that Big Hard is most concerned about. They will personally take action in this part of the antitrust review.

And it needs to be serious.

Presumably passing the review won't be a problem.

It seemed that the road ahead was smooth sailing, but Moreno always felt more panicked.

That weird smile from Philford.

After that, I went through some more processes.

Philford really didn't say a word. Asking meant consent, and not asking meant acquiescing.

There really is no stumbling block at all.

After the hearing, things went smoothly and even a little strangely.

Moreno returned to the Lighthouse Country with a heavy heart.

Finally, we can prepare for the release of Road to Paradise 4.

It was scheduled to be released on August 15th, exactly three months later.

News of the IP split also spread, causing an uproar.

Just take a look at the official forum.

[Baofeng Entertainment, are you kidding me? Sell ​​IP? crazy? 】

[Damn Moreno, you are the one who brought Baofeng Entertainment into hell, go to hell, you trash]

[Is "Road to Paradise 4" going to be the swan song? Oh my god, this is a game I’ve been playing since I was a kid]

[I want to launch a petition and go to the federal court to sue this scam company! ! ! 】

This is not just a forum in lighthouse countries, but also all over the world.

The players were all shocked by this sudden news.

My favorite game series since I was a kid, is it going to be split off in order to pass antitrust review? !

A gold-worshipping girl abandons her first husband in order to marry into a rich family?

Many loyal players of the series have a feeling of being NTRed.

Calls of traitor abounded, and Moreno's name spread throughout the player community in a short period of time.

It's simply that everyone gets it and kills it.

The most loyal player in the past wanted to chop off Baofeng Entertainment's head with his own hands at this moment.

Some extreme players even sent threatening letters to the Baofeng Entertainment headquarters, including a bullet casing.

Moreno was mentally and physically exhausted for a while.

Even the PR didn't know what to do.

This is a very bad sign.

The biggest cost of acquisition is the three IPs that were once dubbed the "Three Mountains": Rift in the Universe, War Zone and Road to Paradise.

The other is a large and mature player community that is loyal.

Now, one of the three mountains has exploded.

The loyal player community also has irreconcilable conflicts with the official.

the next day.

Work hard to deal with the IP splitting, which must be completed before the deadline.

As the news spread, there were still many interested parties.

But in line with the tradition of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the price offered was far from what was expected.

"300 million dollars? You can obviously grab it, but you still submit an offer to me?"

"How dare you say you are sincere with 500 million dollars, get lost!!"

After looking at it for a while, he looked down upon it. The price of 900 million dollars that was the first one to be quoted was regarded as his conscience.

Just when Moreno was distressed, the Ministry of Commerce came with "good news."

"Boss, there is a buyer who made a very reasonable offer and said that he can pay 45% first and then pay in installments."

After Moreno heard the quotation, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Who is it? Which company?"

"It's a naughty cat from China."

Naughty cat?

The person who is the best at creating IP in the world wants to buy "Road to Heaven"?

How can it be?

After hearing these three words, Moreno felt that his brain was shutting down.

Something is wrong.

He quickly sat back at the computer and found Lin Mo's personal Twitter.

[Lin Mo (v): Dear players, hello everyone. I was very sad to hear the news that Baofeng Entertainment was forced to split the "Road to Heaven" IP.

I am a person who loves games. I still remember the happy times when I was a kid playing Road to Heaven 2 and 3 on my computer. It was one of the best moments in my life.

Although I can't help Baofeng Entertainment get through this difficult time, I want to do my best.

I will try my best to purchase the rights to "Road to Heaven" and develop a sequel that will absolutely satisfy fans of the series, to thank Baofeng Entertainment for the beautiful moments it creates for players.

Even if it doesn't succeed, I will develop a spiritual sequel to commemorate this classic IP.

[Picture][Picture][Picture]]

The tweet also attached a picture, which is the game archive of "Road to Paradise 3".

The duration is not low, more than 800 hours.

Read the comments below again.

[Really? Lin Mo is still playing the game of rivalry? If Naughty Cat makes a sequel to this IP, it would also be a good choice]

[I don’t know, but on the barrage video website in China, Lin Mo’s personal homepage has a guide for the "Road to Paradise" game]

[Lin Mo really likes to play games, so he can make good games. I believe that such a producer will not treat this IP badly]

[Support splitting to Naughty Cat]

[I also support it, thank you Naughty Cat! 】

"Lin Mo!! How dare you?? Damn it, I will never sell it to you!!"

"Boss, let's..."

"Not for sale!!! Get out!!!"

The people from the Commerce Department shivered and quickly packed up their things.

Escape.

Moreno was left panting in the office.

"Insult, this is insult! Damn it, damn it!"

I don’t know when it started, why is everything going wrong? !

Moreno held his breath inwardly.

Many things seem to be connected, but they don't seem so clear.

In the following days, I could only deal with IP splitting during the day and rack my brains to think about it at night.

I always feel like it’s not over yet.

I was stable for a week, but also received scolding from players for a week.

During this period, Naughty Cat successively and "sincerely" expressed his desire to purchase the copyright of Road to Paradise.

But they were all blocked by Moreno one by one.

I thought that after so many rejections, it would stop, right?

But why does Naughty Cat want to buy Road to Heaven so much?

When I am puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo suddenly started a live broadcast.

The content is the previous work "Road to Paradise 3".

After Moreno heard the news, he clicked in immediately.

Today I want to take a closer look to see what kind of medicine is sold in Naughty Cat’s gourd.

Along with him, players from home and abroad are pouring in in large numbers, asking frantically about IP, which is also what the industry is most concerned about.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, took his time and controlled the archer character inside, using dexterous operations to dodge the deadly skills of the opposite BOSS one after another.

[Here I go, this operation is really for an experienced player]

[Mr. Lin, has Baofeng Entertainment agreed to sell the IP? When will the sequel be released? 】

[What changes will be made to the game if Naughty Cat accepts it? Do not change some core settings]

[If a spiritual sequel is developed, when will it be developed? 】

However, Lin Mo turned a deaf ear and just played the game and told some short stories that the players cared about from the perspective of a designer.

After finishing a few pictures, I saw that the live broadcast room became popular.

Lin Mocai read the barrage, and then said: "Well, Baofeng Entertainment has not replied to my words yet, so the deal is likely to fall through. But don't worry, no matter who the IP is sold to, a spiritual sequel will definitely be released, which will make If you are satisfied, it will be available on all platforms.”

[What should I do? I only have XGame]

[A spiritual sequel is also possible. When will it be released? I can’t wait]

[I don’t want to see “Road to Paradise 4” released by the traitor Baofeng Entertainment]

Seeing the players' excitement, Lin Mo smiled and told a shocking news.

"In fact, the spiritual sequel is in progress. The Northern Star Studio of the Rotten Kingdom has already had this intention and sent a cooperation application to Naughty Cat. You can rest assured that Naughty Cat will provide financial and technical support and fully support it! The name of the game is actually It’s okay to announce the new game “Diablo”, I hope you like it.”

On the barrage, some people are questioning whether this unknown company can do a good job.

But most people were partying.

Naughty Cat’s productivity is well known.

In other words, with this sentence, it will only be half a year at most until we see the game come out.

Players are having a blast, but some are getting hit hard.

In front of the live broadcast room.

Moreno's head was empty and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

The clues are connected, everything is connected, and the puzzling things can be explained.

Even if I suspected that it was Souni, I never suspected that it was Naughty Cat.

He was used to Naughty Cat being upright and winning business wars with the strength of his works. He had no idea that the young man with black hair and black eyes could be so vicious when he played dirty tricks behind his back.

Moreover, he actually understands the twists and turns of the West and uses local laws to benefit himself.

In the gaming industry, which has a relatively simple and honest business environment, this is simply a strange thing.

If what I heard in the live broadcast room just now is true.

Then this is really a big game.

From the day the acquisition of the century was announced, the game began.

The incident happened so suddenly that Naughty Cat had no time to take action.

So I came up with this trick.

A small studio from a corrupt country, Northern Star, relied on reasonable use of CMA rules to delay the release of "Road to Paradise 4" by three months!

Not only did it make Juhard Company uncomfortable and Baofeng Entertainment strained, but it also squeezed out time for three full months.

This time is enough for Naughty Cat to make an excellent game and bring the main battlefield from outside the game into the game.

Why did Northern Star Studio look for Naughty Cat to cooperate.

Nonsense!

They definitely hooked up at the beginning of trouble at Northern Star Studios.

During the three months of delay, Naughty Cat found time to make this so-called "Diablo".

What kind of spiritual sequel, bah!

The IP purchase was a back-up move, in order to use the controversial incident of Baofeng Entertainment to promote its own games.

Standing on the commanding heights of morality, a condescending attack is carried out.

Recent players think that Baofeng Entertainment is a traitor, which is worse than making a garbage game.

How many loyal fans of Baofeng Entertainment can be stolen with this move?

have no idea.

Presumably, there should be no less.

As for whether Baofeng Entertainment will be sold or not, it is already a trivial matter.

What Naughty Cat wants is to be famous.

In the name of a spiritual sequel, it is actually poaching.

It’s okay even if Baofeng Entertainment doesn’t sell it.

You can also save some money.

Insidious and vicious.

"Vicious, so vicious!! Lin Mo, damn it, why do you target me everywhere?!"

Um.

It seems that Baofeng Entertainment publicly caused trouble for Naughty Cat first?

It does not matter.

If I cause trouble for you, are you going to push me to death? ?

At this moment, Moreno thought about countless thoughts in his mind.

He knew that as long as he made this move, Naughty Cat would only win but not lose.

In any case, in the end, the most severely damaged was definitely Baofeng Entertainment, followed by Juhard Company.

Souni must be smiling crookedly at this moment, right?

Even Souni, who tried every means to trip up, did not cause such a big trouble and make Juhard Company and Baofeng Entertainment so uncomfortable.

There is deep regret in my heart.

Naughty Cat was not just showing off, it was actually making an offer to Baofeng Entertainment, more than once.

Now it seems that it is better to just sell it in the first place.

At any rate, Naughty Cat’s offer was sincere.

Now if I try to sell it door-to-door again, will I be able to sell it?

I guess it's a bit confusing.

It’s not the business that’s catching up.

And the general trend has been achieved, Naughty Cat does not need to buy anymore.

Players' hearts have long been lured away to the so-called spiritual sequel.

This time, I lost my wife and lost my troops.

It took several years of production and a lot of investment, but it ended up like this.

Xuanfa even made a wedding dress for the so-called spiritual sequel "Diablo", and his reputation was ruined.

A spiritual sequel?

Go ahead and cheat! ! !

I can't believe you would be so kind! !

Simply to make Baofeng Entertainment die violently and make the Century Acquisition fail!

At this time, they had been chatting in the live broadcast room for a while.

[When will the spiritual sequel be released? 】

[The partner is a small workshop, is it reliable?]

Seeing that there were many questions on the barrage, Lin Mo directly gave the release date, an accurate answer.

"August 10th, so stay tuned."

【So early? Damn, you are indeed a naughty cat, this production capacity is strong]

[Earlier than "Road to Paradise 4"? Okay, okay, I will buy it if you place a pre-order]

【shut up and take my money! ! 】

After hearing this, Moreno directly closed the live broadcast room.

I couldn't help but smash the monitor.

The release date of "Road to Paradise 4" cannot be easily changed, as this involves antitrust investigations and IP splitting.

The impact is not expected to be small.

Moreno gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, don't think you have won. For this category of games, Baofeng Entertainment considers it second, but no one dares to consider it first! Lin Mo, your mere five or six years of game development career, is nothing compared to The accumulation of working in our company for more than ten years?”

"Just wait! As long as the IP is successfully spun off, the revenue hole will be on the line. When the time comes, you will face giant and powerful companies. I wonder how long you can be proud of it!" (End of Chapter)
