Chapter 330

[brief introduction of baokai game company]

It was founded in Seattle in 2000 by John VICH, Brian fitter, a college dropout, and Jason caboka, a former Apple computer engineer.

At the beginning of baokai game company, it can only be described as "miserable".

There is no other employee in the whole company except the three of them. In addition, the three are very pure computer game engineers. They have no plan at all. They eat and play games every day

They are also developing a game based on arc operation.

Unfortunately, there are no buyers willing to pay for their game rights. As a result, they had to live frugally, even eating instant noodles for more than five months.

"Hoo ~"

"What a tragedy

"That is to say, in the United States, if you are in China, as a parent of a family, you should be beaten to death. I'm so blind

Looking at the data in his mind, Zhuke couldn't help sighing.

For the time being, even when he was the poorest in his last life, he had a better life than the three of them.

Even eat more than 5 months of instant noodles, iron man also can't carry it!

To this end, the three founders decided to take the lead!

They fought day and night, and finally produced a PG-13 animation strip poker game. Well, it's the kind of "bad" game in which the other party (computer character) takes off a piece of clothing to win a game.

They even contacted several pornographic websites to sell the game rights.

However, no website is interested.

"Oh, brother three has no bottom line. When we are short of money, we can even do such things. "

Chuk chuckled, and then thought, "if I'm so short of money, it's like they don't have a bottom line yet. Tut tut ~ they really laugh at the poor but not the prostitutes."

Who can think of

Who would have thought that the famous company that produced the game "Plants vs. Zombies" started a game that actually produced "bad" games? Well, it still didn't make any money.

In 2001, baokai game company, which was established by them, released a new game called "gem puzzle", which is a puzzle and leisure game.

"Oh, gem puzzle?"

"Games like xiaoxiaole“

"Well, it's really a little elimination game."

This game, baokai game company signed a cooperation agreement with Microsoft, once released on the MSN platform, it was very popular.

The game is on MSN, with more than 60000 active users per day and more than 150000 online users at the peak.

Baokai game company finally makes money!

However... This game income big head, all entered as the platform square MSN's pocket!

The revenue for baokai game company is almost negligible. At most, it is only $1500 per month.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there are just a few small game companies like baokai in America.

But just like this, baokai game company, which rose from adversity, developed and expanded in a few short years.

In 2004, its market valuation was as high as US $60 million;

In 2007, its market valuation rose further, reaching 120 million US dollars;

The most important thing is that in 2009, baokai game company released the series of "Plants vs. Zombies", which made it popular all over the world.

Since then, the overall value of baokai game company has not been mentioned. The game "Plants vs. Zombies" alone is worth more than US $1 billion.

"A fantastic game company!" Associated press evaluation.

After browsing the materials in his mind, Zhuke was surprised: "it's an extraordinary experience that it can succeed."

Yes, who dares to underestimate baokai's game company?

"Plants vs zombies" game, who does not know who does not know it?!

"There's nothing more to say, of course, to take it."

In fact, Zhuke's idea of the game company is definitely not a day or two. It can be said that he has been salivating for a long time.

Who let the game company make money?!

......

Somewhere in Seattle.

John VICH, who has just resigned from a local game company in Seattle, comes to the home of Brian fitter, a classmate and good friend, and sits on the sofa.

"Why? Man Brian fitter, sitting in front of the computer, cares.

John VICH pondered for more than ten seconds, looked up and asked, "man, can you imagine? Just now, I got my mother's wedding invitation again? "

Mom's wedding invitation?

"Ha ha."

Brian fitter chuckled. "I said, man, I remember this is your mother's third marriage."

"No, it's a big mistake!"

Hearing the speech, John VICH, who covered his face, jumped up from the sofa and said in a loud voice: "this time, I have seven stepfathers. Can you imagine? "

Brian fitter: "the..."

He was speechless.

Whoever has seven stepfathers will have a big head!

John Vicky added, "I forgot to tell you that I actually have two stepmothers."

At this moment, Rao was stunned, and Brian fitter couldn't help laughing. It was so funny.

"Well, forget about that."

After a long time, Brian fitter said: "it's been a month since you resigned from vred game company. What are you going to do in the future? To keep looking for jobs or to start a game company. Of course, no matter what you do, I will support you. "

"Thank you."

At this moment, John VICH, who has always been out of tune, only felt greatly moved.

It's rare to be a friend like Brian fitter.

Three years ago, John and Bryan were both college students at Purdue University. Bryan fitter was also a genius in the computer department of Purdue University, ranking first for two consecutive years. However, when John proposed to drop out of school and create a game, Brian, as a good friend and computer genius, agreed without any hesitation.

How many people, like Brian fitter, can do anything for a friend?

It's too short!

How rare!

"I'm going to create a game company, our own game company!" John Vicky said firmly.

"Do you still have money?" Said Brian fitter.

This is like a basin of cold water pouring down.

John spread his hands and his face was bitter. "I don't have money!"

Smell speech, Blanton when a pat on the forehead.

A penny is hard to beat a hero. It's bullshit to say anything without money.

Once upon a time, John and Brian were rich.

Soon after they dropped out of Purdue University, they started a chess and card game. Not long after that, they made 45000 dollars. Later, they sold the game copyright and started another 100000 dollars at one time.

At that time, John was only 19 years old.

This kind of money speed is no less than the surprise of winning the lottery!

However, in a short period of two months, the two of them spent all their time drinking and drinking, and soon squandered more than 100000 dollars.

No money now, you deserve it!

Want to start a game company, no money, no way!

For a moment, John and Brian were worried.

"Ha ha ha!"

At this time, Jason caboka, a former Apple computer engineer who is a good friend of the two, rushed in with an excited face.

"Here's our chance, guys!"

"Just now, I got a call. He's Mr. Zucker Wald's assistant. The famous Golden Dawn Entertainment Group will set up a game company and invite us to join as the chief designer. "

Jason caborca's voice fell.

John and Brian were stunned.

"Are you sure it's Mr. Zucker Wald's company, not a liar?" he said

Jason cabokadang immediately retorted, "man, don't forget that I used to be a computer engineer at Apple. I met Mr. Zucker Wald."

The second watch is on.
