Chapter 687: Take the first step towards a strong alliance

Wu Tao was quite surprised by Allen's active visit.

After all, for more than a month, although the two families have not publicly called out on the surface, the competition and wrestling between the two families in private has continued to this day.

In this case, it is indeed surprising and gratifying that Allen can take the initiative to come to the small temple of Tianxing Game Company.

"Go, go out and meet it. ”

Wu Tao waved his hand and took the lead in getting up to greet the door.

So the reporters who were coiling in front of the building and had not yet left filmed the following scene.

"Welcome, Alan!" the two hands clasped together in a historic way.

Allen got straight to the point and said, "Wu, forgive me for my previous arrogance and contempt. Counter-Strike's sales are now outperforming StarCraft, which shows that your company has what it takes to make video games that are as good as ours. Congratulations!"

While Wu Tao was used in his heart, he did not take credit, but introduced Li Ming and Jeff and the game development team behind him and said: "The success of Counter-Strike is due to their excellence to make such a high-quality game!"

Alan nodded, "Yes, you're right. But according to my analysis, your company's methods in game operation and distribution are even more superb. You have formed a reputation in the form of free of charge in China at the fastest speed, and reacted to the European and American markets, which is very successful in this regard. ”

Sure enough, it is the layman who looks at the excitement, and the insider who looks at the doorway.

Seeing that the topic was getting deeper and deeper, Wu Tao immediately let Allen and his party into the conference room and held a symposium temporarily.

This symposium was full of joy and joy.

It wasn't until the end that Allen threw out the intention of coming here in person today: "Wu, I found that because of the rise of Tianxing Games, the game and Internet industry not only did not seize the market share of Blizzard Entertainment, but expanded the entire game market. Therefore, I think that if we can strengthen cooperation, we will definitely have greater development. ”

Wu Tao nodded, "Allen, I can't agree more on this." ”

"In that case, Wu, I have decided to hand over the Asian operations and distribution of StarCraft to your company's agency. ”

Happiness came so suddenly that Qiu Xiaotian could hardly believe his ears.

"Alan, it's an honor!"

In this way, Tianxing Games and Blizzard Entertainment took the first step in a strong alliance.

Thinking of the popularity of StarCraft in China in his previous life and even after the millennium, Wu Tao felt that this matter was promising.

Originally, he planned to let Shi Qianxue expand the marketing department and set up a market operation and distribution department. Now the release of StarCraft in Asia happens to be a matter of beating rabbits and piggybacking on the grass.

It's early May.

In just one month of the release cycle, Counter-Strike's sales and online registration have brought nearly $50 million in revenue to Skywalker Games.

Even after deducting the continuous investment of more than 20 million US dollars since the establishment of the company, it still achieved 100% profit.

This kind of business can be said to be quite considerable.

On the first day of May, Wu Tao and Shi Qianxue returned to China Shipping on China Airlines.

The next step of the mountain view plan, after this period of drafting and consultation, has a preliminary eyebrow.

For example, expanding the office area, improving the R&D and operation teams, and establishing a game engine team, game art team, etc.

Again, this will be a significant investment.

However, as a sharp sword directly inserted into the Internet industry in the United States, Wu Tao also plans to use this branch to make more moves for the future layout of the Internet industry, so it is worth investing more.

on the plane.

On the left is the anxious Shi Qianxue, tossing and turning along the way, and he can't even sleep well.

Wu Tao turned his head and turned sideways to the other side, wanting to sleep peacefully. I don't want to be on the right is Molly, who is flying to Asia, and two large clouds of snow white are hanging under his nose like this.

Does this still make people sleep?

I knew that I would have waited for the first class of the next flight, and I wouldn't have suffered like this.

"Cousin, you suddenly put such a big burden on me, I'm really worried about whether I can pick it up?" Shi Qianxue hesitated again and again, but still said what she wanted.

In her opinion, after all, they are relatives, and this matter should be negotiable.

Unexpectedly, Wu Tao said in a businesslike tone: "Since you want the position of vice president, you should understand what position to do! But you don't have to worry, you can't afford to bear this burden, it's a big deal that I will fire you, and when the time comes, for the sake of relatives, I can give you more compensation." ”

"You are ruthless and unjust!" Shi Qianxue was anxious.

"I think you're still making trouble. Wu Tao retorted.

"Where am I being vexatious?"

"Where are you not unreasonable...... Regarding Qiong Yao's routine, Wu Tao is door clear, Shi Qianxue opened her mouth to stammer, and finally could only spit out the turbidity in her chest and said: "I have picked this burden, lest I be fired by your ruthless and unrighteous boss who finds an excuse!"

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly at China Overseas International Airport.

The pick-up convoy was already waiting outside the airport, Wu Tao and Molly said goodbye, got into the car, and went straight to Jinling non-stop.

Unlike the sunny days of Los Angeles, the road from Zhonghai to Jinling is rainy and sultry.

Wu Tao asked carefully, only to hear that the rain had been falling for more than ten days.

In many places in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, flood peaks have occurred, and the situation is very critical.

If it's supposed to come, it's still coming.

Wu Tao looked at the rain curtain outside the window, and suddenly became a little worried.

It seems that the start of construction of the wafer factory is destined to be postponed. Not only that, but the construction period of the real estate of my own Lao Tzu will inevitably be affected.

When I returned to my home in Splendid Washington, it was already approaching evening.

Shi Qianmei came back early, prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, and gave the two of them a pick-up. How do you know that as soon as the two of them enter the door, their noses are not noses, their faces are not faces, and no one pays attention to anyone.

"What's wrong with you two?" Shi Qianmei smiled helplessly.

Wu Tao decisively sued first, "I gave her a promotion, but she was angry with me." ”

"You ......"

"Isn't it?" Wu Tao asked rhetorically.

"I ......" Shi Qianxue was no longer as sharp as before, and she couldn't speak.

Because in this matter, she is indeed unreasonable.

Shi Qianmei pulled the rack and said: "Eat first, and then talk about it after eating!"

During the banquet, Wu Tao gave Shi Qianmei a general overview of her experience in the United States, with ups and downs, which was indeed very touching.

After hearing this, Shi Qianmei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Cousin, your business skills are really big enough, and now you are starting to earn foreigners' money." Compared with you, my down jacket has been sold out of season, the new clothing has not been designed yet, the factory has been shut down for many days, and the following rumors are spreading, cousin, you have to give me a support......"
