Chapter 81

Henry found a very interesting thing, outside the science and technology exhibition, there are five or six people around a computer playing "super Mary"!

Computer version of super Mary?

Henry approached and asked, "who transplanted super Mary to the computer?"

Want to scroll games transplanted to the computer above, but also to achieve a smooth horizontal version of the effect, which requires a certain amount of technology!

"I did it!" At this time, a thin young man with glasses said.

"What's your name?"

"My name is John Carmack!" The young man replied.

"John Carmack? What a familiar name... "Henry murmured. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered that he was young, technical and blockhouse, and his name was John kamakh. Besides the founder of id software company, who else could he have?

Id software company is mainly engaged in the development of computer games and game engines. The work doom launched by id software company in 1993 completely changed the computer game industry, which was a milestone at that time. In particular, the famous FPS masterpieces "half life" and "anti terrorist elite" are made by using the quake engine developed by id software company!!!

John Carmack is a computer genius, in programming, Carmack is almost self-taught! Before he finished his freshman year, some of the games he wrote were bought by many software companies, and he himself became a part-time programmer of several software companies!

Now I'm a sophomore, but I'm less than 20 years old, but I'm so good that even IBM would like him to join his own company!

Although John kamak did not join IBM later, he chose to transplant Nintendo games on IBM PC platform and developed a PC display technology called EGA (enhanced graphics adapter, the prototype of 3D graphics accelerator), which is a 16 color display mode. After that, he designed screen refresh technology to improve the speed of game graphics display.

So, Henry saw a group of people playing "super Mary" around IBM computer!

Niang xipi, this is a real genius!!!

I'm only 19 years old. I'm already so strong!

"Motherfucker! Genius should be used by us. We can't let him go! " Henry's heart was hot. Looking at John Carmack was like looking at a pile of shining gold!

Carmack, the father of 3D engine, join the organization quickly!!!

Henry began to laugh when he came to school. The smile was as bright as a flower!

"Carmack, I'm the chairman of firefly game company. I sincerely invite you to join us!"

John Carmack was slightly surprised, but soon relieved. There are so many companies that want to invite him to join, there is nothing to be curious about! John Carmack was surprised that Henry was much younger than him, and he was the chairman of a game company!

He stroked his glasses and said, "I'm sorry, my friend John Romero and I are preparing to start a business together! This time, I'm going to take a chance to see if any venture capital companies are interested in our technology and willing to invest in us! "

With a faint smile, Henry said: "maybe you don't know what kind of company firefly game company is. This company doesn't carry out game research and development, and its main task is to distribute games. However, it has several game subsidiaries, which are quite independent and have the right of independent development of the game. If you are willing to join firefly game company, you can also set up a subsidiary and own part of the shares of the subsidiary! In addition, we firefly game company and Weifeng capital investment company are strategic partners, you can also enjoy the treatment of venture capital! "

The conditions sound good. "If my friend and I set up a subsidiary of firefly games, how many shares would you give us?" John kamack asked with interest

“40%！” Henry thought about it and said, "firefly game company will inject a million dollars to develop the company. You can come to work directly!"

"So good? According to you, as long as people come and join firefly game company, it's equivalent to $400000! " John Carmack was surprised.

"You can say that, too!" Henry nodded, "because our company attaches the most importance to talents and is willing to spend as much money as possible!"

John Carmack nodded, a little excited, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll discuss it with my friend, and then I'll get back to you."

"No problem. Here's my card. Call me when you think about it." Henry handed him a business card with only his name and telephone number on it.

"All right." John kamack looked at the card and put it in his pocket.

Henry said goodbye to Carmack with a smile. After a short walk, he made a phone call: "Kalina, I've found another target! Firefly game company will add a new subsidiary, and then I need prestige capital to invest and dilute their shares! "

"Why are you so cunning?" She teased.

"How can I make money to support you if I'm not cunning?" Henry laughed.

"How much do you want prestige capital to invest?" she asked, too lazy to talk to him

"It's not clear yet. I'll try to dilute their shares to less than 30%. I'll inject one million US dollars into the newly established subsidiary. However, the server uses noah ark, the network uses Cisco MCI, and the computer uses Dell to recruit a large number of top paid talents. I think it won't be long before the subsidiary's money will be spent. At that time, Weifeng capital will come to invest again!"

"All right! If it's OK, hang up! " Kalina said, "I'm very busy here..."

"Good!" Henry hung up and began to wander around the technology fair again.

In the afternoon, John kamack called Henry and said that he and his friends had decided to join firefly games. Henry was not surprised to receive the call. The conditions are so good, if you don't join it, it's strange!

Before big people become big people, they are small people. They can't imagine how brilliant they will be in the future, so they are no different from ordinary people! Henry took out one million dollars, even though he wanted 60% of the shares, they could get 40% of the shares without paying anything. This is a pie in the sky thing!!!

Who will not do such a good thing?

Besides, Henry also talked about the mechanism of firefly game company. The subsidiary company has great independence. Unless the company makes major decisions or faces huge losses, the parent company will not manage it. This kind of sheep herding management is most suitable for those who have no money but like to start their own business!!!

All kinds of conditions, even genius must kneel down!!!

The next day, John Carmack took his friends and colleagues, John Romero, Tom Hal and Adrian Carmack, to meet Henry at the place he had made an appointment with.

All four of them are employees of softdisk's software distribution company, and John kamack is part-time. Henry soon noticed a middle-aged man who was very independent and hip-hop, because when John Carmack introduced him, he said he was John Romero!

John Romero is also self-taught, known as FPS (first person shooting game) godfather, for the design of the game is very talented!

The combination of two Johns created the legend of id software company!

Henry has to pay special attention to him!

But Henry did not say a word and signed the contract with them first. Henry's money is not easy to get! If the company leaves the company within three years, the shares will be cancelled and the company will not be able to engage in game related industries within three years; Five years to leave, shares belong to individuals, but still can not be engaged in the game related industries within three years!

If you just want to come in and make a profit and then leave, get out of here, or don't blame yourself! If you really want to do things, want to grow the company, then the agreement does not bind them at all!

After reading the contract, the four discussed with each other, and finally decided to sign an agreement with Henry（ Ask for ticket and collection!!! The author established a group of book friends: 424930141, welcome to join...)
