My science and technology museum

The more than 20 companies that purchased the Phantom Star engine in the sales report are basically well-known domestic animation companies. Xu Lei did not see any game companies.

It stands to reason that even the animation industry has responded quickly, and it is impossible for major game studios to ignore it.

There must be a driving force behind the current situation.

The reason why game companies can collectively remain silent and leave such an efficient and powerful game engine unused is probably because of the 20% copyright fee on game sales.

But if they want to unite to protest in this way, they are really wrong.

The only thing that makes Xu Lei feel relieved is that the number of registered users of Magic Star Engine has reached tens of thousands.

Although there is still a long way to go before reaching one million users, it is at least a good start.

Xu Lei couldn't help but look forward to it, especially when he thought that if the influence in the Science and Technology Museum met the requirements, new exhibits would be unlocked.

"Mr. Xu, is there any problem?"

At this time, Zhang Xia noticed that Xu Lei fell into a brief silence. She thought there was a problem with the report, so she quickly asked.

Mainly, her attention was focused on the sales performance of the Phantom Star Engine. She was so excited that she did not think about the problems of domestic game company studios for the time being.

But just as Xu Lei was about to respond, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

diverted his attention.

"Come in."

Chen Shihe pushed open the door and entered, holding a tablet computer in his hand.

His expression looked a little anxious.

Ignoring greeting Zhang Xia next to him, he walked straight to Xu Lei, handed the computer over and said: "Mr. Xu, please take a look at this first. Just now, several game companies headed by Penguin released The joint initiative requires us to reduce the game development royalties of the Phantom Star Engine."

After hearing what Chen Shihe said, Xu Lei took the tablet and looked at the proposal on it.

As his eyes moved, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

In the end, I was even made to laugh out loud.

"I really don't know how they dare to put pressure on us at this time."

It turns out that in this proposal, the current engine licensing market was discussed.

From the development history of domestic games to the ecological environment of overseas engines, in short, we hope that future technology can adhere to the concept of promoting the development of domestic games and reduce the copyright fee to 5%.

It is said that human desire is like rolling stones on a high mountain. Once it starts, it can never be stopped.

What these large companies are showing today is the best explanation.

With the powerful effects of the Magic Star Engine, the performance of game development companies can basically increase exponentially, and a 20% copyright fee is not much at all.

If Xu Lei didn't need the number of users to meet the influence requirements of museum exhibits, he could have developed exclusive high-quality games on his own.

In particular, Penguin relies on its own app store resources to charge a high percentage of software.

This caused many developers to protest.

In the end no changes were made.

Now that it's my turn to be charged royalties, I want to join forces with other game companies to initiate an initiative.

Unfortunately, users won’t be on their side this time.

After all, the Magic Star engine developed by Future Technology has broken the monopoly of the overseas engine market, which is of milestone significance.

The entire Internet is full of favorable impressions of it. At this time, domestic game companies suddenly jump out to sing the opposite, which will inevitably lead to severe criticism from many netizens.

At this time, Zhang Xia, who was standing next to her, saw the change in the expression on Xu Lei's face and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Concerned, he hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Xu, what happened?"

Facing Zhang Xia's question, Xu Lei didn't hide anything and just handed over the tablet.

"See for yourself. Someone is really dissatisfied with us."

Zhang Xia reached out and took over the computer and immediately started reading it carefully. After roughly browsing the important contents, she said angrily: "Mr. Xu, they jointly issued this initiative in order to refuse the use of the Phantom Star Engine. Forcing us to lower the copyright fee is simply abominable.”

Seeing Zhang Xia's performance, Xu Lei became calmer and did not take this matter to heart.

Because the Phantom Star Engine is something they developed, other companies will have to use it if they want not to be overtaken by competitors in the future, so they firmly hold the initiative.

The so-called proposal will not have any impact on future technology.

Anyway, if other game companies refuse to use it, they will lose their own interests.

However, Future Technology is by no means a soft persimmon nowadays. It is being jointly targeted by so many game companies, and it is not okay to have no expression.

When his thoughts came to this point, Xu Lei immediately made a decision and immediately told Zhang Xia: "I will use the company's official account to make an announcement later, saying that Future Technology will better serve game developers and maintain the stability of the domestic game market. environment, an additional service fee of 5% of game sales will be charged.”

Xu Lei's approach is very simple.

Since some game companies are complaining that the copyright fee is too high and are not willing to protest in this way, then they should simply raise the rights a little more to save their lives.

He didn't believe that any game company could resist the powerful temptation of the Phantom Star Engine.

As long as Penguin's alliance collapses, let alone 25% of sales, I'm afraid the game company will still be willing to add more.

But after Zhang Xia heard Xu Lei's decision, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

I'm worried that doing so might actually make game companies give up using Phantom Star.

"Mr. Xu, this..."

However, as soon as the objection came to his lips, Xu Lei forcibly interrupted him before he could spit it out.

"Don't worry, just do as I say."

"I understand, Mr. Xu." At this point, Zhang Xia, who knew Xu Lei's character well, said no more and could only nod in agreement.

Until Zhang Xia disappeared from the office, Xu Lei turned his attention back to Chen Shihe.

After a moment of reflection, he said in a deep voice: "Shihe, contact Xinyue City's real estate agency and rent out all the fifth and sixth floors below us. In addition, we will continue to recruit people, especially those related to game development."

"It's Mr. Xu, I'll get there right away."

When Chen Shihe heard this order, he immediately realized what Xu Lei wanted to do. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and exited the office without any delay.

That's right.

Xu Lei plans to set up his own game studio.

Aren't Penguin and other game companies trying to create a threat by refusing to use the Magic Star Engine? Then Xu Lei will let them know that the power of the Magic Star Engine alone is enough to rival top game development companies.

It just so happens that Xinyue City is a newly opened property and most of the floors are still vacant.

Renting two more floors will not only be used by the newly established game studio, but also facilitate the subsequent increase in the number of future technology personnel.

At the same time, as the proposal jointly issued by the game companies and the subsequent response from Future Technology were fermented on the Internet, it soon aroused heated discussions across the entire Internet.
