Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

The next day, Lin Hao walked out of the room with his hands on his waist. Ivanka was too crazy last night and drained him dry. In her words, Lin Hao had no energy to mess with other girls.

Ivanka was full of energy, her face was rosy, and she looked even more radiant. It was true that there was no such thing as a field that was plowed but only a tired cow could be exhausted.

After breakfast, Ivanka was about to leave. Paris and others were also leaving. This time, they all came to play with Ivanka. Now that Ivanka was leaving, they naturally felt embarrassed to stay. Besides, they had been here for almost a month. Some of them went to school, some were busy with their careers, and they couldn't be busy playing all the time.

Lin Hao originally planned to send Ivanka to Philadelphia in person, but the King of Understanding said that he didn't need Lin Hao. He happened to be going back to New York and could send Ivanka off. The last time the King of Understanding saw Lin Hao buy a private jet, he was envious. It happened that Trans World Airlines reached an agreement with Boeing and Airbus, and he used his power to get himself an Airbus private jet.

In his words, as the president of TWA, he traveled without a private plane, which was a loss of face for TWA. Only by highlighting the strength of the company, people would choose TWA flights.

It seemed to make sense, so Lin Hao turned a blind eye. TWA was now recruiting crew members, ground staff, and logistics personnel. Moreover, the Boeing and Airbus aircraft had not been delivered yet, and they would not be able to officially take off until at least the second half of the year.

Everyone had left. In the huge manor, there were only Lin Hao and some servants, which seemed empty. This made Lin Hao a little uncomfortable, so he decisively left the manor and headed for the Blizzard Entertainment headquarters in Irvine, California.

Los Angeles is about 60 to 70 kilometers away from Irvine. The convoy kept rushing on the road. Looking at the scenery outside, Lin Hao's heart was much calmer. It was too noisy during this period, and he fell asleep in the car without realizing it.

40 minutes later, Lin Hao was awakened by Zhao Tiezhu. He was now Lin Hao's exclusive driver, mainly simple and honest.

"Boss, we're already at the door of Blizzard."

Lin Hao was awakened by the voice and looked outside. He didn't expect to arrive so soon. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime was already waiting for Lin Hao with a group of Blizzard executives.

After Lin Hao got out of the car, Mike Morhaime immediately came up.

"Boss, welcome to Blizzard Entertainment." Mike Morhaime gave Lin Hao a big hug enthusiastically.

"Haha, I've wanted to come to Blizzard for a long time." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Mike Morhaime introduced a group of executives to Lin Hao, many of whom Lin Hao had met at the banquet. A group of people walked into Blizzard, and Mike Morhaime introduced the history of Blizzard to Lin Hao.

Blizzard was founded on February 8, 1991 by three graduates from the University of California, Los Angeles. Mike Morhaime is actually an alumnus of Lin Hao.

"The company now has games such as "Warcraft", "Diablo" and "Starcraft". Last year, "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" was launched and was rated as the best PC game of the year by the world's authoritative media. As of now, the sales have exceeded 3 million. We have more than 15 million users worldwide, and the number of registered users on Battle.net has reached 8 million. The highest number of registered users in one day is 120,000, and the average number of registered users per day is 70,000.

We plan to release "Warcraft III: Frozen Throne" globally on July 1, and announce the development plan of "World of Warcraft" at the end of the year."

Listening to Mike Morhaime's words, Lin Hao was very interested in "Warcraft". He was very obsessed with it in his previous life and played all kinds of modes. On the contrary, he didn't play "World of Warcraft" much.

"I like Warcraft very much. Warcraft is a very large and magnificent IP. The current development level is still too low, and the commercial value has not been reflected at all. We should improve its storyline and make the story behind Warcraft more interesting."

In Blizzard, Lin Hao said to all employees in the office area. Hearing Lin Hao's words, many employees of the company lit up. There are about 300 employees in Blizzard now, and there are only about 200 on the scene. There are another 100 Blizzard North, which is a development department of Blizzard. In Silicon Valley, it developed the "Diablo" series.

The employees were originally dissatisfied with Lin Hao's remarks in the media. The sentence "Blizzard" was incidental, which made them very angry at the time. Now after hearing Lin Hao's words, they have changed their views on Lin Hao.

"But our funds are limited. The company has too many game series to develop now. "Warcraft", "Diablo" and "Starcraft", and "World of Warcraft" have our funds.The funds are not abundant, and they are already planning to develop Warcraft. "Mike Morhaime said a little helplessly.

Although Blizzard's games are very popular, game development is too expensive. The company has too many series of games, so it can only do this.

"Don't worry about this, I will inject 1 billion US dollars into the company for game development." Lin Hao's words surprised all employees, and cheers rang out in the company instantly.

Bill Roper, vice president of Blizzard, was even more excited when he heard Lin Hao's words. He had planned to resign, and the three founders of Blizzard North also resigned, mainly because the former parent company Vivendi had different plans for the future development of games from theirs.

Vivendi has stated the company's two major development goals in the future: one is to gradually reduce the proportion of PC games in the product structure, while increasing the number of TV games and online games, and the other is to have more cooperation between games and novels, movies and music.

These two development directions are always This is not good news for Blizzard, which focuses on PC games and original games. It means that the company will face transformation in its business, otherwise its resources and status will be affected.

This made some people in Blizzard a little discouraged. Unexpectedly, Vivendi sold Blizzard Entertainment some time ago, which they did not expect. Now Lin Hao has announced that he will increase investment in game development, which naturally makes them happy and encouraged.

"Blizzard is a very outstanding game company. Blizzard products must be high-quality. This is the best evaluation of Blizzard. I hope Blizzard can continue to develop more games that are loved by game enthusiasts all over the world."

Lin Hao's speech immediately aroused warm applause, and a group of employees were very excited.
