Reborn IT Giant

This was not Zheng Peng's first time here. He found a guest room by himself, took a shower and went to sleep. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. He didn't get up until An Ran and others came back from get off work.

After dinner in the evening, An Ran and others finally had time to spend time with their children after a busy day, and Zheng Yan finally figured out the reason for Zheng Peng's return this time. To talk about the purpose of Zheng Peng's return this time, we have to start with

I started talking about studying abroad last year.

When Zheng Peng first arrived in the United States, due to the influence of his classmates, he also prepared to participate in a work-study program. To be honest, Zheng Peng was not short of money, he just thought it was interesting, and he didn't want to be independent.

Due to the influence of Zheng Yan, Zheng Peng was particularly interested in the computer industry. He studied electronic engineering in college, so he had a goal in choosing a part-time job. Later, he actually found a company, and it was founded by an alumnus.

Game development company - Silicon and Synapse.

At the beginning, Zheng Peng just thought it was fun and he could learn something. But after more than half a year, he found that he really liked this industry and his current company.

The company has three founders, and their purpose is very clear, which is to make games that they like and make them popular with more players. However, the development of a game often takes a year or even longer, and the cycle of investment and return is compared.

long.

The three founders of the company are not rich second generation, let alone the first generation, so they are gradually unable to make ends meet. Now they rely on overdraft credit cards to maintain the normal operation of the company, just to stick to their dreams: to produce great game works.

.

"What, what do you mean, do you want to invest in this company?"

Zheng Peng is still young now. If he really has the idea of ​​​​investing and starting a business, Zheng Yan would be happy to support it. In Zheng Yan's view, just having this idea is very rare. As for the success or failure of the investment, these are not important. On the one hand, he is still young.

There are plenty of opportunities, and with his own support, he is also allowed to make mistakes.

"How do I have the money to invest? I want you to invest. In fact, I also approached Third Brother, but Third Brother was not interested, so he asked me to come to you."

Part of Liu Wei's time

They both live in the United States and often go to Hollywood. It is not far from Zheng Peng's school. There are many opportunities for the two to meet. However, Liu Wei's mind is on his own one-third of an acre of land and has no other thoughts at all.

Hearing Zheng Peng's answer, Zheng Yan hesitated. Ever since Zheng Yan sold his shares in the Japanese game company, he has lost interest in getting involved in the game industry, at least he has no interest in the current game market.

As far as the current situation is concerned, game companies do not need huge expenses to develop a product, but once successful, the rate of return is quite generous. Therefore, it is a good direction for many entrepreneurs, but in Zheng Yan’s view

It was just a little bit of a fuss.

In addition, Zheng Yan knows a lot about Japanese game companies and knows nothing about the American game market. As for the company Zheng Peng mentioned, he has no interest in it just by hearing the name, but Zheng Yan doesn't want to attack Zheng Peng.

enthusiasm.

"Since you want me to invest, there must be a reason, right? For example, your next development plan, development goals, or any work that can be used. If there is nothing, I advise you to give up this idea.

."

If Zheng Peng has an idea, or the company's team has potential, Zheng Yan doesn't mind giving it a try. If Zheng Peng just has a passion for it, Zheng Yan won't condone it.

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Before coming back, Zheng Peng had already made preparations and ran back to the room to get a pile of information.

"These two documents are information on the two games that the company has already launched. They include the game's development ideas, process, and sales after launch. These documents are information on the games that are being developed and the games that are to be developed."

Before going to the United States, Zheng Peng might have thought that he could attract investment through family ties, but after living in the United States for more than half a year, he had changed his mind and regarded this conversation as a negotiation between two companies.

After getting the information, Zheng Yan already had plans to invest, not because of anything else but Zheng Peng's attitude. However, Zheng Yan did not blindly agree, and read the information carefully.

The first game was called "RPM Racing" and was made for any Japanese company.

The information on the games developed by Paradise is not very comprehensive, but since it is a direct buyout, there is no loss.

The second game, "Lost Vikings", still used Nintendo's game platform and was also released under the name of Nintendo, but it was greatly improved in terms of profitability.

For a company that was established not long ago, this kind of achievement is quite impressive, but for Zheng Yan, it is really not enough. Zheng Yan’s goal is computer games, not such game programs that rely on game consoles.

.

In fact, when he saw this, Zheng Yan had no interest in other information, but he couldn't bear to attack Zheng Peng, so he patiently picked up another piece of information. It was this information that changed Zheng Yan's mind.

.

"Did you develop this game?"

It was rare that Zheng Yan was interested, and Zheng Peng was very excited, "Not bad, but we are still undergoing final testing and improvement. I believe it will be launched soon."

After getting Zheng Peng's affirmative answer, Zheng Yan felt like he was cheating. "Warcraft" is obviously a product of Blizzard, which is absolutely correct, but what the hell is Silicon and Synapse?

Blizzard Entertainment is definitely one of the most famous game production and publishing companies in the world. The Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo series, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and World of Warcraft produced by it are all excellent works.

Warcraft and StarCraft are a number of well-known e-sports competitions and enjoy high praise in the computer game industry. World of Warcraft has always been the most successful online game, generating more than one billion U.S. dollars in profits every year.

But Zheng Yan didn’t know that the current Silicon and Synapse Company would be Blizzard in the future, but it just hadn’t had time to change its name. Moreover, the three founders of the company had already begun to negotiate with other companies in order to find a way for the company to survive.

negotiation.

Zheng Peng couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw that there was no follow-up, "Brother, is this possible? Now a software company has offered conditions and wants to acquire the company. This opportunity is only available because of my initiative. If you don't

If there is no interest, the company will be finished."
