Number One Game Designer

The negotiations with FIFA went smoothly and unexpectedly.

This is probably because FIFA and Ferrari are not in the same situation at all.

For Ferrari, the F1 championship is their glory and their burden. They lose money every year, but the corresponding income is not paid much. For them, they just want to leave F1 as soon as possible and hand it over to capable people. .

But FIFA is different. Until now, even Fang Xi thinks that in the near future, football will still be the most popular sport on the entire planet for a long time.

As far as FIFA is concerned, they just regard football e-sports as a publicity window, even if they add some weight, it is at most "may be what the football game will look like in the future".

Under such circumstances, Hongyi and FIFA negotiated quite smoothly on issues such as authorization. Anyway, it is basically impossible for the two sides to have problems such as player group conflicts. The more successful Hongyi is, the happier FIFA will be.

So in this smooth atmosphere, Hongyi and FIFA turned their attention to the last issue: the issue of portrait authorization for football superstars.

This kind of problem actually has similar problems in the last time and space. The biggest problem is that the authorization of football is too complicated.

First of all, we need to know that no one does not love large banknotes. As long as the number on your check is large enough, you can let Gu Tianle carry the Dragon Slaying "If you are a brother, cut it!" You can let Macy sell electric cars, you Let Ronaldo sell mints, but in this process you only use the authorization of the star. In these advertisements endorsed by them, you can see that Ronaldo and Messi did not wear them. The club's jersey, even if it has one, covers the team logo.

It goes without saying that if you want to mix these things in your advertisements, you still have to discuss relevant cooperation with their clubs, but these century-old giants who are not short of money are not so easy to deal with, and the most wronged one is Probably the merchant: I asked someone to speak for me, so why do I have to pay double the money?

And if Fang Xi is the one who develops the game, then the problem is even more exciting. If you get FIFA, the club and the player's authorization in order, do you think you can develop the game and go online at this time?

Nonono, Fang Xi remembers an example very clearly: In the last time and space, in 2017, after negotiating with Barcelona, ​​a Japanese company successfully obtained the exclusive right to use the virtual image of Barcelona's stadium Nou Camp, So in FIFA17 at the time, Barcelona's team played at home, not the Nou Camp. I can only say that it was really embarrassing...

At that time, FIFA's operator EA, on the one hand, was for revenge, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent players from noticing this embarrassing thing, so they directly cut Barcelona's defender ability in the game at that time, and cut them in half. of.

Although embarrassing, the problem exposed in it really annoys Boss Fang now: the game is actually promoting the game, but you rich families and players' agents are asking for cards, a complete game authorization It requires various authorizations from clubs, stars and venues, which is expensive and cumbersome, and it is simply dissuading.

So Fang Xi, who was sitting across from the FIFA negotiating table, heard this series of operations and his first reaction was: No way, let's withdraw?

I was invited to the west to discuss cooperation. I don't have a hozen apprentice, and I don't ride a white dragon horse to go ahead.

Even if I had so much patience to run through these authorizations, Fang Xi didn't dare to think about the cost of it - the game hasn't been developed yet, so the cost will go up, and then I will have to pay for it in order to pay back. This cost must be passed on to the players, because the company is not doing charity after all, it still has to pay for food, and this is also the reason why it was so expensive to form a team in FIFA in the last time and space, because EA invested too much in developing this game.

And Boss Fang has always been afraid of trouble,

After chatting with Chen Yu for a while, Fang Xi looked up at the bearded FIFA opposite and said, "We've thought about it, and we're going to give up the need for various rich clubs."

The bearded man on the opposite side widened his eyes in surprise, looked at each other and the colleagues on the left and right, and confirmed:

"FANG, are you really sure? You have to understand that we, FIFA, are on the same line with Hongyi in this matter. Our ultimate goal is to promote football and the future of football, so for each football team The authorization of the club, we will help you, don't worry."

Fang Xi smiled, got up and said directly: "Mas, needless to say, of course I know that FIFA and we are on the same line, so I finally chose to give up, even with your help to negotiate all these authorizations. , then the cost of the entire game will pile up to an unacceptably high cost, and these costs will eventually be passed on to the players. This is a hopeless path. Even if such a game continues, eventually It will also become a new blood-sucking channel for these so-called sports giants."

So since there is no hope for this route at the beginning, it is better to give up. Fang Xi thought.

At this time, the sunlight of Zurich at noon just came in through the skylight of the meeting room and enveloped Fang Xi. In this warm ocean, Fang Xi said:

"So I plan to completely develop e-sports football, and let those giants beg me, let them beg me to join my game."

Ma Si looked at Fang Xi, who was inlaid with a layer of gold in the sun, and stammered: "But this is possible?"

Fang Xi smiled: "How will you know if you don't try? Come on Mars, we need to sign a new agreement."

...

Fang Xi's trip to Zurich came and went quickly. If it is about finance, a place like Zurich, where one brick can hit eleven bankers, is really not a good place for vacation. Unless these banks can invite Fang Xi to visit the vault.

So after confirming the new cooperation with FIFA, Fang Xi didn't stop and returned directly to the airport. There was only one order for Fang Xi here:

"We're going to France."

Although I don't like France very much, when it comes to airplanes, there are not many choices in the world.

In terms of large aircraft, namely Airbus, France's Boeing has won most of the world's orders.

Similarly, when it comes to luxury private jets, there are only two choices in the world: Gulfstream in the United States and Dassault in France.

But this time, Boss Fang made up his mind to treat him preferentially. After he made his fortune, he has been building a studio all the time. Not a single Ferrari.

And now Boss Fang is finally ready to do something to throw money at: a luxurious private jet!
