Super Tycoon

Qiao looked at the young man across from him. Is this the president of the famous Zhi Duo Xing Group? so young?

This is why Zhang Yang deliberately grew a beard, otherwise he would look more tender.

"Joe, I have invited Mr. Zhang to you. How to talk about it, you come by yourself, and I will go over there to smoke a cigar."

Allen, the president of Blizzard, went to another corner of the room and sat and chatted quietly with Xiao Wang. The president's secretary will definitely be an executive of the group company in the future, and her English is good. Maybe she will come to North America sometime and become his leader.

Allen also wanted to know about the promotion progress of Battle.net in other regions, and if he found any problems. What is displayed on the report may not be perfect.

Joe handed a lit cigar to Zhang Yang, and lit one himself: "Mr. Zhang, have you talked to Tripp? Does his attitude make you very unhappy?"

Zhang Yang smiled: "Why, looking at you, working in 3DOS company is not going well?"

"I'm very glad that they asked for more cash instead of asking them to pay with 3DOS stock. At least now I have no loans for my car, house and some bond investments, and my family's life can still be guaranteed."

"It's just that they wasted my creativity and didn't have the ability to promote my game. If I had been able to join the banner of Zhi Duoxing like Alan and the others, it would definitely be very different now."

How much better than them was Blizzard at the beginning, that is, selling games in North America. Although their Might and Magic is a little bit worse, it is not too much, and it is on the rise.

But now Blizzard's games can be sold all over the world, translated into more than a dozen language versions, and the name of Blizzard Entertainment is becoming more and more famous.

I heard that in South Korea and other regions, Blizzard has been deified, because all gamers like to play StarCraft. As for their NWC company, few people know about it now. Everyone knows their new Heroes Invincible, but they only know that it is made by 3DOS company, which is produced by his NWC.

According to the requirements of Warner and Universal, he led people to produce Toy Soldier Battle, but because the operation is more complicated and the promotion is not high, it is not too successful. They even put the responsibility on NWC, which is unreasonable!

If you succeed, the honor is yours, if you fail, the blame is mine, I didn’t do that!

"Joe, do you want to join Blizzard or Zhi Duoxing? Or do you have other ideas?" Zhang Yang asked directly.

When he bought Blizzard back then, he didn't pay attention to this company at all. Now that he thinks about it, it's not too late, because the most valuable asset of this company is the people in front of him.

"I won't join Blizzard. If I wanted to, I would have left the 3DOS company long ago. Allen and the others also welcome me to join and are willing to let me lead a research and development team."

"I don't want to be a wage earner at Zhiduoxing Company either. I've had enough of this situation. The honor belongs to others, but the responsibility is mine."

"I hope to get the same treatment as Blizzard. I still have some money and some friends. I can bring them over and set up a game production company."

"However, the development of games requires a lot of funds, and I also need an investment. I can accept being controlled by Zhiduoxing for this new company, but I must have independent management rights, just like Blizzard."

After Qiao finished speaking, he kept looking at Zhang Yang. He didn't know whether the other party would agree to his condition. He didn't want to run out of money to start a small company as before.

After working with a large team, he is not used to leading some small teams. It may take a year or two for him to directly make a fun game.

He can afford to have no income for a year or two, but he can't afford the expenses for a year or two. The company's rent and employee salaries alone are not small sums.

He still has a family, and added another child last year, and the expenses are even bigger. He no longer dared to take risks and put all his assets on it, because he couldn't afford to lose.

Zhang Yang took a puff of his cigar: "I agreed to Blizzard Entertainment because they already have a certain reputation and have several interesting series of games."

"If you leave 3DOS, or NWC, then the previous game copyrights should all belong to 3DOS, and you can't take any of them with you."

"Even if you can take away some key technical personnel, so what? How can you ensure that you can develop fun games? How can you compete with other companies?"

Zhang Yang didn't agree, nor did he directly refuse. He needs to understand Joe's thoughts before deciding whether to invest.

"Based on my many years of work experience, I believe in the ability of my team, and I also believe that Mr. Zhang will give me some pointers. I heard from Allen that Mr. Zhang is a very thoughtful and bold person."

"Then, is Mr. Zhang willing to trust me and bet on me? If it succeeds, I can bring Mr. Zhang a lot of rewards."

"In fact, I have some knowledge about Battle.net, and I think online games will become mainstream in the future. Isn't Sega Bandai's Uranus also connected to the Internet?"

"So the new game I want to develop is an online game, a massively multiplayer online RPG online game. Character settings, background settings, map settings, etc. must take a long time, but after it is done, it will definitely be amazing world."

Zhang Yang recognized Qiao's words very much, and the future development trend is indeed the case. There are fewer and fewer people playing stand-alone games, and the profits are getting lower and lower, but online games will gradually rise and sweep the world.

"how much money do you need?"

"Ten million dollars is enough." Qiao was overjoyed and almost blurted out, "I can raise five million dollars by selling the shares of 3DOS company and some bonds in my hand."

"Fifteen million dollars, a little less. It is not enough to develop a popular online game. I will invest 16 million dollars first, and you will pay 4 million dollars. I will give you 25% How about equity?"

"The operation and management of the company is up to you. Just like I did with Blizzard Entertainment, only one financial person is sent to oversee the accounts. The rest of the personnel structure is up to you."

Qiao didn't expect Zhang Yang to agree so easily. Although his shareholding ratio was less than expected, he obtained 25% of the shares with only 20% of the capital, and the extra 5% was his respect.

In this way, he can also leave more money to the family, so that the life of the family will not only become embarrassing.

"Do you have an idea for a new game? Can you talk to me? If you don't, I have an idea. Maybe it can be handed over to our new company to complete. This game, I named it Miracle. "
