Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 448 Negotiations End

The third round was against European teams.

When the European server representatives entered, the atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed.

Because this team is very professional.

They are responsible for operating the European servers for OW, LOL, and PUBG.

Extremely experienced.

Moreover, the European esports market is very mature.

Players have a strong willingness to spend money.

The club system is complete.

The number of spectators at the events remained stable.

But Europe also has its most troublesome aspects.

data.

Review.

privacy.

Compliance.

Especially anti-cheating.

The biggest problem for ACE's anti-cheat system to enter the European server is not technology.

The real question is how to prove, within the framework of European local laws, that it has not excessively collected player privacy and has not crossed the GDPR red line.

The European representative got straight to the point.

"We acknowledge the necessity of Delta ACE's anti-fraud system."

"European players also hate cheating."

"But all client-side security testing, hardware identification, account risk control, and behavioral data analysis must have clear boundaries."

The legal representative immediately took over.

"We can cooperate on this."

"The European server will develop its own compliant version of the user agreement and privacy policy."

"Key detection modules can be audited locally."

"Some data can be stored locally."

"Only essential risk control summaries are retained for cross-border data."

"The penalty process could also include an appeal and manual review mechanism."

The European representative nodded.

Anti-fraud measures must be transparent, explainable, and auditable.

They are confident of passing the EU's review.

Yi Feng also spoke up:

"The intensity of anti-cheating measures cannot be reduced."

"But the way of expression, authorization, and auditing can be localized."

"We will not cripple ACE into a mere decoration in order to comply with regulations."

"We will not disregard the privacy rights of European players in order to increase the difficulty of the game."

"What the European server needs to do is to create an anti-cheat system that remains effective within the framework of European law."

After saying that, the European team visibly relaxed.

Next, we'll discuss version approval and content review.

Some of the operators' lines.

Skin appearance.

Paid access to display.

Restrictions on minors playing the game.

Transparency of the trading system.

Restrictions on event sponsorship brands.

The European team asked detailed questions, one by one.

Both sides are well aware of each other's bottom lines.

They all know the value of cooperation.

Ultimately, the EU server agreement was successfully implemented.

The European team is willing to sign a cooperation agreement and promises to start preparations for the launch of the European server during Season 3 and complete the framework of the regional league before Season 4.

Another piece of the map has lit up.

Next up is the Middle East.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia came together.

It was also the most intense and explosive event.

Yi Feng had originally prepared himself for a long, drawn-out ordeal.

When the conversation actually started, he found that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The UAE representative spoke first:

"We can just take 30% of the operating revenue."

The Saudi representative hesitated almost without hesitation:

"We're at 20%."

The UAE representative's face darkened:

"We're at 10%."

The Saudi representative glanced at him, his tone calm:

"Then we don't want it."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Yi Feng: "..."

Head of International Business: "..."

Legal Department: "..."

The finance staff even stopped writing.

Good guy.

This is no longer a negotiation.

This is a reverse bidding process by Middle Eastern capital.

Judging from this situation, if we continue talking for a couple more rounds, they will not only refuse to share the profits, but will even have to subsidize Delta for public welfare operations.

Yi Feng was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He subconsciously glanced at Abdullah, who was sitting in the Saudi team.

Abdullah, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.

She even shrugged slightly at him.

In the last couple of days, Abdullah has truly become famous in the Delta region.

They ate over 100 million in one night.

I apprenticed to learn how to block a bridge.

China's space utopia.

The video of the Middle Eastern prince has gone viral on the internet.

Therefore, Saudi Arabia naturally has an advantage in coming here this time.

Moreover, the economic competition between Saudi Arabia and the UAE has been ongoing for a long time.

Dubai is more famous as a gateway for tourism, finance, and international business.

However, Saudi Arabia clearly has a deeper presence in esports.

Esports World Cup.

Esports club.

Sovereign wealth funds are going on a global buying spree.

They didn't just rush in because they saw the Delta was on fire.

Instead, they had already heavily invested in the esports arena long ago.

The key is.

Abdullah is there.

A prince who can truly make decisions, take responsibility, and mobilize resources.

He doesn't need to ask for permission from multiple levels of government for many things.

He can make the decision himself.

The UAE representative's expression was clearly not good.

Abdullah did not continue to lower the price, but suddenly looked at Yifeng and said with a smile:

"However, outside of Middle Eastern clothing."

"We could talk about the North American server too."

Yi Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Abdullah added slowly:

Don't forget.

"We bought EA."

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became subtle.

EA.

Tencent in the United States

This title isn't entirely unjust.

In terms of scale, resources, distribution channels, and local North American publishing capabilities, EA is undoubtedly top-tier.

But in terms of player reputation and operational feedback...

All I can say is, those who know, know.

Yi Feng's expression was noticeably less relaxed than before.

He could seriously consider handing over the Middle Eastern clothing to Saudi Arabia.

However, if EA were to be allowed to handle the core operations of the North American server, then it wouldn't be a matter of being cautious or not.

That's a question of whether he can sleep at night.

Abdullah clearly saw through Yifeng's concerns.

He coughed lightly and immediately added:

"It's not about letting EA operate it directly."

"We will take responsibility."

"EA can provide local North American channels, compliance resources, server resources, business interfaces, and distribution experience."

"But Delta's core operating standards will still be in accordance with your rules."

"You decide on the anti-cheating measures."

"Version synchronization, you decide."

"You decide on the tournament format."

"EA is only responsible for execution and implementation."

At this point, Abdullah paused, his tone becoming more serious.

I know what you're worried about.

"So I can include it in the agreement."

"If North American operations damage the Delta brand, or cross your competitive line."

"You can revoke the license."

Yi Feng did not answer immediately.

He looked at Abdullah and remained silent for a few seconds.

This Prince seems very happy during his live streams.

Blocking bridges, looting loot boxes, and spitting out Gauss bricks—it's like an international server refugee who's been healed by the Chinese server's aerospace system.

But once he sits down at the negotiating table, he's like a completely different person.

I've heard that this prince is about to pursue a doctorate in China, and he's even registered a personal Douyin account.

In the very first Douyin video, 100 anti-cheating motherboards were given away.

The second Douyin video is even more outrageous.

I directly drew 99 gold bars worth 999 each.

It is also strictly replicated according to the proportions of the gold bars in the Delta.

The comment section exploded immediately.

[Prince, you truly love Delta Force!]

While others were winning keyboards and mice, Prince Bro was winning gold bars.

[Anti-cheating motherboard plus gold bars: complex composition, but full of sincerity.]

[Ab: I hereby announce my official entry into the Chinese server ecosystem.]

It is clear.

Abdullah wasn't just dabbling in this.

He genuinely wanted to link himself to the Delta, the Middle East, and even the Chinese Delta ecosystem.

They also made a very good show of being pro-China.

This forced Yi Feng to reassess Saudi Arabia's bargaining chips.

Middle Eastern clothing.

Saudi Arabia does indeed have the upper hand.

American style clothing.

If the Saudi capital holding system were to step in, and EA were to leverage its North American channels and distribution capabilities, then theoretically, it wouldn't be impossible to negotiate.

But the premise remains the same.

The core of Delta must not be swayed by local operators.

Yi Feng was silent for a moment, then said:

"Let's discuss the specific regulations further."

Upon hearing this, the Saudi team visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

A slight smile appeared on Abdullah's face.

Yi Feng looked at the UAE representative with a slightly apologetic expression.

The UAE representative remained silent for a few seconds; although his expression was not good, he understood.

I'm already out of the game.

It's not that they didn't give enough.

Rather, Saudi Arabia has presented a more complete and undeniable bargaining chip in the Delta issue.
