A few days later, AOL's stock finally leveled off.
Howard's heart was relieved. In just a few days, the market value growth once brought about by Berkshire's acquisition has evaporated completely, and even the new market value is slightly lower than that before the acquisition.
It is equivalent to squeezing out all the water and returning to its due value.
This means that Howard's dream of relying on one acquisition and waiting to collect money is completely broken.
Of course, this does not mean that his bold investment is a failure.
For an Internet enterprise with strong foundation, it is not impossible to make a comeback if it can introduce new ideas, find another way and adjust its development route in time.
It's just a little difficult for Howard, who comes from a family background.
Since the Apocalypse investment company came up with specific articles of association, the preparation of Facebook has been on the fast track.
The transfer of several key positions in the organizational structure also mobilized the enthusiasm of the other two investors. The talents eventually recruited are also famous elites in the industry.
Wu Tao doesn't worry about the specific things. It's enough to hand them over to Wu Yingying.
And he also transferred his energy to Tianxing game company.
This time Zhao Li came to Los Angeles in person. First, she wanted to further study in Tianxing game company and even Blizzard technology and accumulate some experience; Second, it is also for the second game of Tianxing game company to raise materials and settings, with the intention of creating a different main product.
After all, the success of this game directly determines whether the IPO road of Tianxing game company can be successfully opened.
In this regard, the industry has countless eyes staring.
Even Blizzard technology, which has a long relationship with Tianxing game company, is paying silent attention.
Zhao Li, who is engaged in work, is focused.
When he returned to the villa, he saw the other party in a daze and meditation, and Wu Tao didn't bother her.
Serious girls are particularly attractive. They are even more attractive than swimming in bikini a few days ago.
With Zhao Li's noise gone, and the housekeeper and servant team have been dismissed, Wu Tao sat in front of the terrace, lying on the imperial concubine's chair and fell asleep unconsciously on the winter night in erwan.
This trip to Los Angeles, all aspects of things finally have an outline, and he can finally rest.
After this sleep, when I opened my eyes again, the night outside the door was deep, and the stars were shining in the sky.
After moving, I found that I didn't know when I had covered a thin blanket. Looking back, the light came out. It was Zhao Li's side face seriously thinking about the game setting on the stage.
Wu Tao was not surprised by the changes in an Rong's life since his rebirth. It seemed that everything was already in his expectation and in order.
Only Zhao Li's growth and change are surprising and surprising.
Who would have thought that she had married a health school girl of the second generation of officials, and now she has quietly come to this step.
He got up and stretched himself. He folded the thin blanket. Wu Tao expanded his chest, went to the bar and poured two cups of boiling water.
Although Americans are not used to drinking hot water, these are always available at Wu Tao's house.
"Oh, are you awake?" Zhao Li lifted the hair at her temples and asked.
While blowing the hot water in his glass, Wu Tao said slowly, "I'm going to New York in two days. What are you going to do next?"
"I may have to stay longer and work out the game planning framework." Zhao Li didn't lift her head. "It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about me. I can do it myself."
Looking at her studying so hard, Wu Tao can't bear it.
"In fact, the planning of new games doesn't need to be so urgent. Take your time. Sometimes inspiration can be met but not sought."
Zhao Li, with a slender hand and a flexible and tactful pencil, said, "you say half and half. Inspiration is indeed available, but now is the time for my inspiration, so I have to seize the opportunity to improve and enrich it. "
"... as for the new game planning, Mr. Qiu didn't say so. He is pointing to turning over in the company with this new game. "
Qiu Xiaotian has such a sense of crisis. It's not a day or two.
Especially after the three members of his family decided to settle in the United States, he became more and more concerned about his work.
Qiu Xiaotian realized that he didn't contribute much to the success of the anti-terrorism elite game, and his heart was empty. Therefore, he urged Zhao Li to work hard, which was to support him.
However, Wu Tao didn't care about this. After all, it's human nature.
But he couldn't help being curious about the inspiration mentioned by Zhao Li, so he stretched out his hand and said, "can you show me?"
Zhao Li was stunned at first, and then she came back to her senses. Suddenly she realized, "say it early, how can I forget you as a think tank?"
After taking over Zhao Li's conceptual sketch, it looks very complicated with dozens of pages.
But after reading through it roughly, it is not difficult to see that this is a competitive game setting based on Western magic elements.
It can be seen that many places have the shadow of the setting in Harry Potter's novels.
It seems that this novel has not been read in vain, and its ideas have been broadened a lot.
It not only introduced the setting of the war academy, but also the ancient city-state. The upper level of the map setting is very clear and particularly fascinating. For a moment, Wu Tao had some faint inspiration in his mind.
I always feel like I've seen such a similar game setting, but I really want to think about it, but I can't think of it.
Until he finally saw it, Wu Tao didn't catch the flash of light in his mind.
Looking back, this outline seems to be very complete and can be developed into a systematic comic book.
"It's perfect. What are you thinking?" Wu Tao put down the draft and said casually.
Zhao Li could not help being disappointed. He didn't even see what was missing. It seems that it's unrealistic to expect him today.
Although he murmured in his heart, he still replied: "it's enough for these things to form comic works, but there are still many things to make games. At least the system is not three-dimensional enough. As a game, it has no playability at all... "
Before his voice fell, Wu Tao suddenly had a light in his mind.
The world view of this game is very similar to the hero League in previous lives. No wonder I have some illusion of deja vu!
But the popularity of the hero League does not depend on its grand world outlook, but on its unique game system design.
Such as matching system, rune system, Summoner skills, qualifying mechanism and so on.
The memory in his mind was hooked up. Wu Tao's chatterbox suddenly opened and talked endlessly.
At first, Zhao Li was still a little confused. Then the more she listened, the more she felt novel and interesting. She took this brush and brushed the ground while listening and recording
It was not until the dark night that Wu Tao finished talking about the main elements in her memory. Zhao Li still asked this and that.
A moment later, looking at the suddenly three-dimensional game setting framework, Zhao Li sighed: "this must be a magical game..."
