Giant of the times

After Li Zetian turned off the computer, he walked outside for a walk and moved his body.

In the evening, as the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads to the earth, and the Lee mansion in Beverly Hills seems to be covered with a layer of golden gauze. At this time, William happened to come back from outside.

Li Zetian called him to his study room, and then handed him the previously printed information on the sharing economy.

"Take it back and study it carefully. You must also start developing the projects I mentioned."

William took the information and nodded: "Okay, Dad. Oh, by the way, Dad, after acquiring Uber, we are preparing to expand on a large scale across the United States!"

Li Zetian said: "Not only in the United States, but at the same time, we also need to expand overseas. The whole world is paying attention to the development of American Internet companies. When they notice Uber, they will imitate it immediately. When we enter overseas , you will face competitors that are difficult to deal with. At the moment, it can be said that Uber basically has no competitors, which is Uber’s opportunity to develop rapidly!!!”

"Even if you are one step ahead of others, you will be ahead every step of the way!"

"Okay, Dad, I understand!" William nodded heavily.

"Well, okay, let's go downstairs. Dinner should be ready soon."

Li Zetian and William came to the restaurant downstairs together.

Because Tina is pregnant, the food at home has been slightly adjusted, and most of it is food that is beneficial to pregnant women.

After dinner, Li Zetian made a call to the CEO of Flamingo Company.

Nolan Bushnell, the "Father of Video Games" at that time, was old and retired from the position of CEO of Flamingo. His position was succeeded by a man named Carey Jenkins. Carey Jenkins, 45 years old, has a middle-class status and a PhD from Stanford University. He joined Flamingo Company in 1995 and has grown from an engineer to the CEO of Flamingo Company today.

"Jenkins," Li Zetian asked on the phone, "What do you think of the game "League of Legends"?"

Li Zetian didn't immediately say that he wanted to acquire Riot Games. He first asked Kyrie Jenkins for his opinion. In fact, he also wanted to consider it. In the future, when Li Zetian's golden finger is gone, he will have to rely on these people in the company. These people have outstanding abilities and vision, and Li Zetian will feel relieved.

Carey Jenkins pondered for a moment before replying: "I think this game may have the potential to become a hit! "League of Legends" is a Dota-like game, but it is easier to get started than Dota. The simpler the game, the easier it is to become popular. , and may even set off a nationwide gaming craze!”

Hearing this, Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that makes sense! In that case, let Flamingo Company quickly acquire Riot Games, the game developer of "League of Legends"!"

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Um."

"Mr. Li, do you have any other instructions?"

"After acquiring Riot Games, we organized large-scale events and formed our own unique e-sports culture. By the way, Flamingo Company also formed a "League of Legends" team to turn this kind of competition into a world-class event!"

Of course, Li Zetian was embarrassed to say that the main purpose of forming a team was to have a gaming team play with him.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I understand. Don't worry, I will do what you tell me." Carey Jenkins said.

Then, the two hung up the phone.

Li Zetian just put down his mobile phone and couldn't help but think in his mind: "With LOL on the PC, we can also develop the King of Pesticide on the mobile phone. The mobile game market is very huge. The King of Pesticide developed by Tencent is so popular that it is even more popular. Sichuan, down to primary school students, is popular throughout China!"

When he thought of this, Li Zetian immediately called Ma Huateng.

"Hello, pony? I'm Chronos."

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"Well. I have something to ask you now, and I suddenly thought of a game project. By the way, do you know Dota and LOL?"

"To understand something, Dota is a very popular online competitive battle game. LOL is a Dota-like game that was only launched at the end of October last year and is also very popular in the United States." Ma Huateng said.

"I'm calling you today to ask Tencent to represent "League of Legends". At the same time, we will develop a mobile game based on "League of Legends" - "Honor of Kings"! The characters in the game can be Chinese Historical figures, or characters from novels, games, or even ancient myths. In short, these characters are very popular. As for the specific design and development of the characters and games, it is up to you." Li Zetian paused, Warned, "I value the game "Honor of Kings" very seriously, don't screw it up!"

Ma Huateng heard Li Zetian's serious tone and hurriedly responded: "Mr. Li, don't worry, we will definitely strive for excellence and develop the best mobile game!"

"Well, okay, it's okay, that's it, I'm hanging up the phone."

"Okay, bye, Mr. Li!"

Ma Huateng hung up the phone and quickly wrote down the key points of what Li Zetian just said in his notebook.

"Xiao Liu, ask the senior executives of the mobile game department to come to my office for a meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon!" Ma Huateng picked up the landline phone and immediately ordered the female secretary.

"Okay, Mr. Ma."

At this moment, Ma Huateng felt a little excited. Because the more Li Zetian pays attention to it, the more it shows that this "Honor of Kings" will be very popular in the future, and a large part of Tencent's revenue comes from the game business.

…

…

Flamingo's acquisition of Riot Games went very smoothly, buying the entire company for only $150 million.

As the saying goes, "Learning literature and martial arts will bring you goods to the emperor's family."

This is also true in the gaming world.

Companies that develop games want to sell themselves to Flamingo.

Immediately afterwards, Tencent obtained the agency rights for the game. At the same time, the "Honor of Kings" mobile game development project was put on the agenda by Tencent.

After William finished studying the information on the sharing economy that Li Zetian gave him, he couldn't help but be very interested in the Airbnb website and shared bicycles. Without Li Zetian's reminder, William immediately sent someone to contact the Airbnb website and expressed his intention to acquire her.

Airbnb was founded in 2008. Although it was founded only a short time ago, it has developed surprisingly fast, with service growth exceeding 600%.

Airbnb is a private house short-term rental website, that is, a service website that provides connections between tourists and homeowners who have vacant rooms for rent. In other words, anyone who has a vacant room in their home can rent it out to other users on Airbnb.

There are more and more people owning houses in the world. Needless to say, how big the market is. The rapid development of Airbnb already illustrates the problem!
