Chapter 270 The First Studio Representatives Assembly

Those studios that already had deals in hand were fine, but the ones that exploded instantly were those whose business had been planned for these ten main cities. Now that Yingqi had seized the initiative, they had nowhere to argue.

These ten main cities belonged to four studios. Three of them each had two cities, and the fourth was tragic. All four main cities should have been his, but now players were happily grinding away efficiently, and there was no word on when Yunteng's development would reach here!

These four studios were the first to become agitated. Then all the studios started to become agitated. Because the development of Baishi Jinglun was deliberately not coming to the studios one by one. Each studio now already had two or three main cities in hand, had taken the first bite of food, and then continued to wait for the development progress. As a result, all the studios still had undeveloped main cities in their hands. Originally, no one thought that a competitor would jump out, so everyone was not in a hurry, but now Yingqi suddenly appeared and snatched ten main cities in one go, how could all the studios not be in a hurry?

Development and teaching are carried out separately. All the studios already knew this. Now that Yingqi had started the registration and teaching in these ten main cities, their development work had naturally left these ten cities and turned elsewhere. Everyone's interests were being further infringed upon. No one knew which main city Yingqi would preemptively develop next, so at this time, they were vying to ask Yunteng to develop for them first.

While they were fighting for it with Yunteng, some studios had already begun to contact Yingqi to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. They mainly lacked the resources for efficient leveling methods. Now Yunteng had it, and Yingqi also had it, so it didn't matter which side they cooperated with. Although they had an agreement with Yunteng first, they hadn't anticipated this situation at the time, so there were no clauses in this regard. What's more, now that Yingqi had intervened, causing their interests to be unprotected, even if it couldn't be said to be Yunteng's responsibility, Yunteng couldn't very well use this agreement as an excuse. If your rice bowl has been smashed, do you still want people to hold this broken bowl to see if there are any leftover grains of rice? There's no such logic.

Gaishi Qiying was an old hand in the studio business, what situation hadn't he seen? When studios came to him, he treated them all kindly, regardless of whether they were familiar or not, talking about the world, life, and ideals, but never mentioning the efficient leveling methods that everyone was most concerned about. Which of the heads of the various studios were noobs? Seeing Gaishi Qiying's attitude, they understood in their hearts. They didn't probe or ask anything, and directly threw out plans for how to distribute the benefits.

The studios' ideas were relatively simple. Yunteng and Yingqi both had resources in their hands, so they were definitely the ones eating the meat. They could only drink the soup, so they shouldn't worry too much about whether there was more or less meat in the soup. As long as it had some flavor, that would be enough. It would be a big loss if they didn't even have enough to quench their thirst in the end.

When Gaishi Qiying saw the various olive branches formally thrown out by his fellow studios, he stopped playing Tai Chi and began to have detailed talks with them one by one.

Everyone was anxious. Seeing Gaishi Qiying's unhurried appearance, they became even more anxious. Without bargaining chips, they could only be in such an uneasy position.

Gaishi Qiying was actually also anxious. Leveling areas in ten main cities? In fact, they hadn't developed that many at all. Chen Qiyi had only just been found, and there was still a need to communicate, win him over, negotiate conditions, and draw up contracts. All of this would take time. At present, among these ten main cities, only four actually had two leveling areas open. Chen Qiyi was still working hard with his people on the rest.

Yingqi's advertisement had nothing to do with the players, because Chen Qiyi would definitely be able to complete the development of these ten cities during the agreed-upon teaching period, but for other studios, it became a successful smokescreen. Everyone was confused, thinking that these ten cities were no longer in their hands and that they would further encroach on their territory, so everyone turned to Yingqi.

Gaishi Qiying had the guts to release this smoke because he had determined that Chen Qiyi had real talent and ability. He was guaranteed not to lose money in this business. From this point of view, he was not in a hurry, and he dared to release smoke. He was anxious about whether he could use this opportunity to make a beautiful comeback. He didn't ask to earn too much himself, but he wanted Yunteng to earn as little as possible.

When Yunteng launched the efficient leveling method, Gaishi Qiying saw many things clearly. How could Yunteng, a small second-tier studio, have such a great ability to dig out all of Yingqi's first and second-tier personnel at once? At that moment, he understood that it was because they had this big deal as their backing.

Yunteng's foundation was definitely not as strong as Yingqi's. In the current situation, Yingqi would earn more if they took this efficient leveling method business; if they didn't, they would just make less money. But for Yunteng, this business had to succeed, they had to earn money. If they didn't earn money, they wouldn't be able to digest so many people they had poached from Yingqi, and they would have to collapse.

Having seen all of this clearly, Gaishi Qiying dared to act by releasing smoke. Because the purpose he wanted to achieve even more was to use this as a signal to let all the studios know that Yingqi was not dead yet, and that Yingqi's threat was still great. And then...

And then all the studios were very pleasantly surprised. They thought that Yingqi would kill their prices when they were in a dilemma, but unexpectedly, they raised the benefits they gave them. Yunteng took a 30% cut, while Yingqi only took a 25% cut!

This substantial 5% profit concession made the studios praise Gaishi Qiying for his righteousness, and then immediately turned around and went to Yunteng. Of course, they didn't immediately express their intention to give up cooperating with Yunteng. They just came to ask if Yunteng wanted to be even more righteous?

No one was a fool, and no one was a pushover. The studios who were caught in the middle and originally had no resources in hand, now discovered that they themselves seemed to have become a kind of resource, so they immediately began to use this point to strive for more benefits.

Gaishi Qiying understood very well that these guys would do this. Because everyone was praising him for being righteous, for being generous, for being a brother, but none of them immediately nodded and finalized the cooperation, so he knew that these guys were going to go to Yunteng to ask for righteousness next.

Of course, the people from Yunteng were not stupid either, and they had some anticipation of these situations. Yingqi's appearance had already destined them to compress their profits. This was unavoidable. How to properly handle these cooperating studios at this time was very important. Yunteng also wanted to have a future; they didn't want to make a quick buck and then disband on the spot.

After a period of rapid tug-of-war, the studios finally agreed that everyone would sit down together and discuss how to distribute this efficient leveling method market clearly.

The suggestion was not made by Yunteng, nor by Yingqi, but by the remaining studios. And once it was proposed, these studios all expressed their approval. A group of guys who originally had no chance to earn this money seized the leading position by taking advantage of the situation. They stood on a position under objective conditions, tied themselves into a group, and formed a three-legged stand with Yunteng and Yingqi.

The meeting was chosen to be held in Yunduan City. Gaishi Qiying subconsciously wanted to suspect that there was some conspiracy. Qianli Yizui, Feichang Nitian, these people were all from Yunduan City. In Gaishi Qiying's eyes, Yunduan City was simply an enemy city.

However, the reason everyone gave for choosing this main city was very sufficient, because in the current situation, only Yunduan City was completely neutral. This main city was directly and freely popularized by Qianli Yizui, and unlike other developed main cities, they had also only opened two areas. Yunduan City here was fully popularized. All the level 40 leveling areas that could be used were used. It was already a place that their business couldn't reach. Choosing this place was very fair and meaningful.

Gaishi Qiying couldn't help but curse inwardly. This was to sit down and talk about business, what the hell did they need fairness and meaning for in choosing a place? Did choosing one of the ten main cities that he Yingqi had developed mean that the negotiations would lean towards his Yingqi's side?

But then again, what tricks could Qianli Yizui and his gang play when they were talking about business? Would they put a sword to his neck and make him change his mind? That also seemed very ridiculous. So in the end, Gaishi Qiying still agreed to this painful suggestion and came to this "fair and meaningful" Yunduan City to participate in the meeting.

Without a doubt, the bosses of these studios were definitely the richest and most wealthy people in the game. It would be a joke for their peers if they couldn't even get a scroll to fly to Yunduan City. In the end, the bosses arrived in Yunduan City one by one, preparing to hold the first all-studio representative assembly in the history of online games.

These bosses may usually have some business dealings, and most of them had each other on their friend lists in the game, and they also had each other's contact information offline. However, some had met like this, and some hadn't. Now they were gathered together, introducing themselves and getting to know each other, and it was a chaotic mess for a while.

Looking at these richest tycoons in the game, some were dressed in glamorous clothes with high-end equipment, some were tattered like beggars, and some were even below level ten and were protected from PK. Such a gathering of wealthy people with such a disparate appearance could only be seen in the game. But regardless of whether they were high-end, beggars, or protected from PK, they all gestured and spoke with an air of pointing out the country. You should know that the guys in this room could be said to be controlling the mainstream trading market in the game.

"Ahem, is everyone here? Let's start when everyone's here?" The gathering was held at a property in Yunduan City owned by a certain studio, so this boss became the first speaker at the meeting. All the bosses at this meeting had chairs to sit on, which showed that the level was different. When Feichang Nitian and others held meetings in their player strongholds, they either stood or sat on the ground. They didn't want to waste energy on such luxurious things as chairs.

"Um, everyone is here today mainly to discuss the current issue of efficient leveling methods. We won't talk about any past events at this meeting. Please handle those matters separately outside the door. Please cooperate." The first speaker smiled and made a request.
