Chapter 1750 The collapse of steam

"But Chairman, this is not a long-term solution. We cannot continue to subsidize this way, otherwise the entire Microsoft will be implicated!" Tony also added appropriately.

"I know!" Bill Gates nodded.

All fools understand that the market obtained by burning money cannot continue. Burning money is only temporary, just to open the market in the early stage. After obtaining the market, burning money must stop, otherwise investors will kill Bill Gates.

However, in Bill Gates's opinion, this is not a big deal. In the future, only subsidies need to be stopped, so the box game store will make continuous profits and will naturally transfer the subsidies back gradually.

Haven’t you seen that Steam Game Store makes tens of billions of dollars in net profit every year?

As long as the box game store can defeat the Steam Game Store, then the subsidy of more than one billion US dollars will not be earned in minutes.

What is more important now is to continue to grab the market.

It happened to be at this moment that the secretary knocked in and then said in the novel in Bill Gates' ear, "There was a message from Box Games that the 600 million US dollars I had lent to them before, so Mr. Iwata, the chairman of Box Games, asked us if we could borrow another $1 billion to them. They also planned to make the subsidy activities for a month!"

"No problem!" Bill Gates agreed very readily. The results of Box Games are very impressive, and these are obtained through subsidies. However, the Steam Game Store has not been defeated yet. They still have tens of thousands of franchise stores around the world. At this time, stop subsidies and burning money. Isn't everything back to the source?

So Bill Gates did not hesitate to instruct Microsoft to lend $1 billion in cash to the Box Games Store at a lower interest rate, so that the Box Games promotions can continue!

Hearing that the event continued for a month, players from all over the world cheered again, while franchisees from the Steam Game Store each walked up.

They finally had a month to wait for the end of the event opposite, so they could make a profit again. But now, they have to hold on for another month!

These franchisees can only find Daqian Games again and ask Daqian Games to launch similar activities.

However, this time Daqian Game's attitude has not changed. Even if Arakawa once again came forward to appease these irritable franchisees, it is still useless.

Finally, some franchisees couldn't stand it anymore. They took the initiative to find the Box Game Store and expressed their hope to change the door and directly change from a steam game store to a Box Game Store.

In this regard, he was naturally ecstatic. Bill Gates even came forward to meet with some franchisees in person, saying that the Box Game Store is very welcome and will fully support the actions of these franchisees.

So, in just 5 days, more than 100 franchisees announced that they had left the Steam Game Store and instead joined the Box Game Store.

Moreover, for these franchisees, changing the face is a very simple thing. They don’t even need to change the decoration in the store, they just need to change the signboard, so easy.

After seeing this move, Steam Game Store seemed to be anxious, but what Steam Game Store did not do to appease its franchisees, but directly issued a notice to all franchisees.

That is, if they give up joining, then according to the contract they signed, they forcefully withdraw before the franchise period expires, then all the products such as the purchased game CD will not be recycled.

In other words, each franchisee must spend money on this batch of goods.

Generally speaking, a steam game store has tens of thousands of game CDs in stock, and some large stores even have more than 30,000. After all, the steam game store is known for the number of games. According to Daqian Games’ A-level or above games, at least 100 copies are required to ensure sales, and there is absolutely a stock of 10,000 copies.

Originally, because Daqian Games would recycle all inventory that cannot be sold, although franchisees would put some money on inventory, they would definitely not lose money.

But this time, Daqian directly announced that he would refuse to recycle, and the reasons were very sufficient. After all, all franchisees had to sign at least three years of franchise contracts. Most franchisees still have more than a year before the end of the circle contract. It is difficult to expect to wait until the signing period is over before changing careers.

This is not counting. Daqian also pointed out another clause in the contract, that this franchisee is not allowed to join other similar industries after withdrawing from the franchise, otherwise he will have to pay compensation equivalent to a year-on-year share.

If the former is calculated based on 10,000 copies, it will be at least a loss of about 500,000 US dollars.

In fact, the inventory of most franchisees is over US$1 million.

The latter is similar. Many franchise stores have a turnover of more than US$3 million per year, and franchisees can obtain 20% of the revenue share.

Then the compensation is 600,000.

If these two conditions are combined, a franchisee will need to pay at least $1.5 million in compensation if it exits the Steam Game Store.

With this threat to Daqian Game, all the franchisees were immediately scared and their minds were instantly closed.

Well, no matter how much you explain this situation, it is useless. Huge economic losses are the best way to make these franchisees obedient!

Of course, in this way, many franchisees in the Steam Game Store instantly hated Daqian, but they really had no choice.

However, some of the franchisees still did not give up their plans. They actually found Box Games, hoping that Box Games could help them share the cost!

In response to this situation, Box Game immediately held a board meeting. Because this meeting was of great importance, two big bosses, Bill Gates and Iwata Satoshi, attended the meeting directly.

"I think we can... it's not that we have to agree to the requests of these franchisees!" Iwada Satoshi said first, "Everyone, now is the best opportunity given to us by God. For a ridiculous economic benefit, Daqian has completely become a life-and-death enemy with all their franchisees."

"According to my investigation, many franchisees have now hated Daqian to the core. They dreamed that they could join our box game, but the only thing that blocked them was the damn liquidated damages and inventory fees!"

"If we find a way to help these franchisees, then these franchisees will definitely change their camps in an instant. Daqian currently has more than 20,000 steam game stores, of which about 80% will become our box game stores in an instant. Then Daqian's so-called market dominance will collapse in an instant, and the game dynasty belonging to our Microsoft and Nintendo will also come back to this world!!"

Arakawa Mi trembled all over excitedly, as if she had seen Daqian Game being beaten under Nintendo, and Nintendo was re-dominated by the entire game world!
