Shi Qianxue can put forward the idea of the Internet Summit. In fact, he is afraid of shortcomings and omissions in his research and investigation.
In fact, this is almost inevitable.
You can't just come to visit in a name. People will tell you everything in their heart, won't they?
In addition, among the pioneers of the Internet industry, there is a lack of centralized communication and collision with the game industry, and there are conflicting opinions and even conflicts.
But in Wang Donglai's view, these Internet industry are just small bosses. How can they compare with their own bosses in terms of vision and insight?
In that case, is it a little too serious to invite you to the meeting?
However, Wu Tao knows that whether it is Wang Zhidong of Sitong Lifang, Zhang Chaoyang of aitxin, or even Ding shisan, who is often joking, will be a big winner in the Internet industry in the future.
Although their current wealth is not as good as themselves, they must be better than themselves in their cognition and understanding of the Internet industry.
After all, the technology industry has a specialty.
Moreover, the Internet industry is a new industry after all. In front of this industry, everyone is a piece of white paper.
It doesn't matter if the idea is not mature, the communication will be mature; It doesn't matter if the general trend of development is uncertain, so it's clear to discuss it.
The Internet Summit launched in previous lives probably has this intention.
I just didn't expect that in my life, I contributed to the early launch of this prosperous summit.
At that moment, he decided decisively: "brother Donglai, the so-called listening is wise. Although these Internet entrepreneurs are not well-known at present, their deep cultivation and understanding of this industry is still worthy of our reference and study. At least it can be regarded as an industry expert? "
"... this time you will treat them as experts to learn, which will also facilitate you to enter the industry faster."
Wang Donglai nodded and agreed, "what about the convening and launching of this matter?"
Wu Tao immediately said, "let Shi Qianxue do it. She initiated it in the name of Apocalypse investment. She has just visited each other and is familiar with it."
That's no problem.
After the Thai baht Sniper War, apocalypse investment has a head and face in the domestic investment industry.
Coupled with the natural attraction of capital investment companies to Internet start-ups, they are not afraid that others will not give face.
After seeing off Wang Donglai, Shi Qianxue occupied the study in a hurry and made a special call.
Although she still has no reputation and share in her work, she can't stand her interest and motivation.
Instead, Wu Tao idled down and sat down in the rattan chair on the balcony. He couldn't help calculating in his mind.
Now the domestic affairs of the game company are taken over by Wang Dong, with the assistance of Shi Qianxue, which is basically straightened out. At least he doesn't need to worry about specific affairs.
However, as the core of the game company, the progress of Qiu Xiaotian and Wu Yingying in California is still slow.
It can even be said that it is difficult to move forward.
For half a year, Qiu Xiaotian and Wu Yingying have not made any breakthrough. Even if the newly established game development company in Silicon Valley successfully dug up a development team of Blizzard Entertainment, it still did not shake Alan Adhan's determination to refuse the acquisition.
Looking back, Wu Tao thought it over carefully. That's right!
After all, people now want money, people, ideas, and ideas. Why should they accept the acquisition of others for no reason?
Thinking of this, Wu Tao suddenly realized his cognitive misunderstanding.
This is the difference in values.
If you are a Chinese, if a company you have worked hard to establish is purchased by outsiders at a premium, as long as the price is appropriate, there is nothing you can't do.
But these foreigners all have the energy to do things. What they seek most is not money, but their own career and achievements.
So at this time, money is not everything.
Thinking of this, Wu Tao probably knows that the plan to buy Blizzard Entertainment will fail.
The next call went to Wu Yingying. Although it was early in the morning, the phone was still picked up quickly.
“Hello?”
"It's me."
Wu Yingying immediately responded, "boss, do you have new instructions?"
Wu Tao was silent for a while, and then directly asked, "judging from your experience, is it impossible to acquire Blizzard Entertainment?"
"Frankly, yes." Wu Yingying's words are clear and firm. "Just Mr. Qiu, I want to fight again."
"Then, the plan to buy Blizzard Entertainment is over." Wu Tao said decisively, "it's really not good. We recruit talents and develop our own games!"
When Wu Tao said this, it was not all to leave a way for himself.
In fact, he does have some game ideas available. For example, the idea of anti-terrorism elite, plants and zombies, it's no big deal that others do it for one year, let's do it for two years.
Just in Wu Yingying's voice, developing her own games is always like angry words.
So he tentatively suggested: "boss, I suggest we consider other entrepreneurial game companies? Among the materials Ms. Shi brought back, there was a small company called valvesoftware, which I thought was pretty good. The company is based in Seattle and is not well known. "
“Valve?” Wu Tao sounds familiar. He immediately turns the information on hand to the part of valve. Villefort software company is designing and developing a game called half life.
Half a life? Wu Tao's eyelids jumped faintly. Isn't this the company that created the anti-terrorism elite?
However, this information is all about the half life game, and there is no mention of the anti-terrorism elite.
Wu Tao's heart moved and the opportunity came!
This is really not bright in the West and bright in the East!
"Yingying, you fly to Seattle immediately after dawn and contact a Chinese American named Li Ming of valve company."
"Li Ming?" Wu Yingying immediately wondered, "boss, if we want to buy valve, we'd better contact their founders Gaby Newell and Mike Harrington directly, which makes us more sincere."
Wu Yingying thought that as soon as Wu Tao came up, Qiu Xiaotian had to dig the corner of Blizzard Entertainment, so she specially reminded him.
Wu Tao immediately smiled, "Yingying, you misunderstood me. In fact, my goal is not in valve. Because I think valve company, like Blizzard Entertainment, has no chance now. We can't take advantage of it. "
"... the person I asked you to find should be able to give us some new inspiration and help in the game."
Li Ming, a Chinese American, is known as the father of CS (anti terrorist elite). Counter terrorism elite's classic game beyond half life is actually his original work of casual practice in valve company as an internal game for colleagues to relax and have fun.
But what I never expected was that I inadvertently inserted willows into the shade.
After half life really went online, this unintentional work was also posted online, but it received extraordinary download and attention.
Therefore, the anti-terrorism elite was naturally developed as a strategic focus by valve company, and Li Ming also rose with the tide.
However, these should be two years later. At present, Li Ming should be just a minion in valve company.
In this way, I have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"But boss, how do you know Li Ming? And I know he's from valve. " Wu Yingying keenly noticed this.
Wu Tao was stunned, then laughed and said, "when we went back to the United States, we met on the plane, and we talked a lot..."
