Chapter 971

Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, New York.

Bill Roper had a gloomy face. He has been looking for investors since he left Blizzard studio in the north in August because of his inconsistent ideas. But things are not going well. Bill Roper has contacted a lot of venture capitalists during this period, but either the other side demands too much equity, or the other side wants bill Roper and others to join their game companies, which is not bill Roper's wish.

Bill Roper has found Ellison, the most avant-garde and original president of Oracle in the IT industry. He hopes that he can invest in their new game team and let them develop better games. However, the negotiation was extremely not smooth. Ellison was not unwilling to invest. On the contrary, Ellison was very interested in their elite team which separated from Blizzard studio in the north and was willing to invest. And agreed that the initial investment would be $30 million.

When he first heard of Ellison's intention, Bill Roper almost thought that he had met bole, but Ellison asked Bill Roper and others to develop online games instead of the stand-alone games they expected. This disappointed bill Roper and others. They have always believed that there is still a big market for stand-alone games at present and for a long time in the future. As far as the current game technology is concerned, no matter how good the online game is, it can not replace the unparalleled fine screen and sound effect of the single game, as well as the story that makes people forget to eat and sleep.

But Ellison insists on developing online games, otherwise he will never invest his money in stand-alone games. Bill Roper was very upset about the result. He wanted to give up, but he couldn't find a better investor for a while, so he had to follow Ellison to New York, hoping to negotiate with him again, even if they gave up a little more shares.

But the negotiations were very difficult. Ellison's insistence on online games makes bill Roper helpless. There are essential differences between the two sides in concept.

"Mr. Ellison, I hope you can understand that although online games are extremely popular at present, the stand-alone game market also has its position that cannot be banned. For example, our "Diablo" series, as well as "call of duty" series and so on, which can prove that players are still very fond of stand-alone games. Mr. Ellison, online game is just a mode of game, but it's not the only one! " Bill Roper tried his best to explain the difference between stand-alone games and online games, and to explain the different player groups of the two games.

Unfortunately, his explanation is totally useless. Ellison shook his head.

"Bill, I really believe in the strength of your team in the game industry, and I'm willing to invest my money in you. But it must be online games, not stand-alone games. I believe you know better than me about the market prospect of online games‘ Second world's "crazy farm" and "virtual life" generate hundreds of millions of dollars of profits for "second world" every year, which is unmatched by any single game. I am a businessman, and I naturally hope to get more return on my investment. Online games, can give me the biggest return! Besides, the Internet is the future Ellison shook his head.

Bill Roper sighed. He doesn't know what to say now! He has just reduced the required venture capital to $10 million, but Ellison is still willing to increase the investment, as long as Bill Roper and others are willing to develop online games. There are fundamental and irreconcilable differences between the two sides in concept.

I'm afraid that this time he can only come back empty handed.

Just then, a man came in.

"Yes, the Internet is the future. But in the field of games, online games can never replace the wonderful single game A man said in a sonorous voice.

Hearing this, Bill Roper and Ellison both looked up.

For bill Roper, that's a long drought. During this period, many investors have been explaining to bill Roper the fact that stand-alone games are going to be out of date, and online games are the king. It warmed bill Roper's heart. It's like drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup in winter, and your whole body is warm.

But Ellison sniffed. It's crazy that someone will advocate the good of single game. Now in the game industry, the success of "the second world" shows that the prospect of online games is very bright and brilliant. Even "EA" and other companies have increased their investment in online games. At this time, even some people say that the single game is good, it's bullshit! He's going to see who's bullshit here.

Unexpectedly, when Bill Roper and Ellison saw the man clearly, Ziqi was stunned.

Although they have never met each other, they are very familiar with them. How can this man be here—— Bill Roper and Ellison look at each other with a blank face. They don't understand how Lin Feng, who has created brilliant online games, can appear here. What makes them a little silly is that Lin Feng, the overlord of online games, actually says that stand-alone games are good in front of them, which is a little too ironic.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to show up here. It's disrespectful! Disrespect Ellison got up to greet him.

"I've heard so much, Mr. Ellison." Lin Feng smiles faintly.

Bill Roper got up after a while.

"Mr. Lin, your company's achievements in the game industry really make us and other game companies blush!" Although Blizzard has a cooperative relationship with "second world", it mainly cooperates with Blizzard Entertainment company. As for Northern Blizzard studio, it never deals with Lin Feng. This is also the first time bill Roper meets Lin Feng face to face.

"Mr. Lin, I don't think we met by chance this time." Allison's language is full of mystery.

Lin Feng's sudden appearance, and boast of good single game, is not a chance encounter. I'm afraid Lin Feng should have come for bill Roper.

Lin Feng smiles.

"Bill, I just visited Blizzard Entertainment Company and heard that you and your team left northern Blizzard studio. I learned that you have been looking for investors to develop games in your mind. So now I have an intention to cooperate with you, so I came from Houston immediately Lin Feng said.

Bill Roper almost didn't believe his ears. How could Lin Feng come for himself?

"Mr. Lin, our ambition is to develop the most fun stand-alone games, not online games. We always think that online games are always repeated in constant tasks, relying on the same tasks and equipment, and PK to attract players, this is not the game we want Bill Roper said that later, the mood gradually became a little excited.

All along, they don't like the so-called online games. This kind of game is too boring, all day long is equipment, PK, task, endless, apart from these, online games simply do not really attract players. What Bill Roper and his team want to develop is a game worth studying and thinking about. Therefore, their ideas are very different from those of many venture capitalists who are eager for quick success and instant benefits. This is why they have such a great reputation, but they have been unable to find venture capitalists.

But now, there is one person who says he is willing to invest in them, which is good news. But the object is actually Lin Feng, the current overlord of the online game industry, which is really ironic. Are the global single game investors blind? They should rely on an online game company to invest in single game.

That's ironic!

"I know, bill, I'm willing to invest for you to develop the perfect game in your mind. In the development process, I will never interfere! You can develop any game you want. " Lin Feng nodded.

Can you develop any game you like—— Lin Feng's promise made bill Roper feel dazed by happiness for a moment.

Bill Roper really didn't know what to say for a moment. It's too exciting. Just now, he was very depressed and worried about not having bole. Now, God has sent a bole and allowed it to develop games freely. The ups and downs of his life are too fast and exciting.

"By the way, Mr. Ellison, you don't mind if I do! I apologize for my rash behavior just now. " Lin Feng saw Bill Roper's look and had guessed that he would agree. After all, we have suffered so many setbacks, and we will never let go of such a good opportunity. However, he ran out so rashly, which offended Ellison a little. At least I have a good conversation with others. Suddenly a person comes in, and I'm not happy at all.

Ellison smiles and shakes his head. For bill Roper, although he attaches great importance to it, but now they are not in the same idea, so they can't continue to cooperate. Since he can't continue to cooperate, Lin Feng's investment in bill Roper has nothing to do with him, and he has nothing to do with it. Ellison is such a person, for him, what he likes, he must get the hand, no matter who the opponent is, he will try his best to get back. But if you don't like it, no matter how good it is, he won't want it.

But now, Ellison is quite curious about Lin Feng's investment team, Bill Roper. What is Lin Feng's intention to treat bill Roper and others with such a large amount of money? Does Lin Feng really value stand-alone games so much?

Thinking of this, Ellison turned his eyes.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Roper, I'm very glad that you have reached an agreement. I think it's better to let me be an East. Just as my yacht will also be launched, how about holding a simple signing party for you on my yacht to celebrate? " Ellison asked.

Lin Feng and bill Roper look at each other and agree. After all, the two of them lost Ellison's face. Now he proposes to hold a signing reception for both sides, and they can't refuse. Otherwise, it would be a complete offense to Ellison.

"Well, Mr. Ellison, thank you for your kindness. I'll be there in three days!" Lin Feng readily agrees.

But I don't know that this reception will make Lin Feng's life magnificent again（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
