Shi Qianxue was able to put forward the idea of the Internet Summit, but in fact, she was afraid that there would be shortcomings and omissions in the process of her own research and investigation.

In fact, it's almost a given.

You can't just find a name to visit, and people will tell their thoughts and thoughts, right?

In addition, among these pioneers of the Internet industry, there is a lack of centralized communication and collision with the game industry, and there are differences of opinion and even conflicts.

But from Wang Dong's point of view, these Internet industry are just small bosses who make small troubles, whether in terms of foresight or insight, how can they be compared with their own bosses?

In that case, isn't it a bit too serious to invite you to a meeting with great fanfare?

However, Wu Tao knows that whether it is Wang Zhidong of Sitong Lifang, or Zhang Chaoyang of Aitxin, or even Ding Shisan, who he often jokes and ridicules, he will be a big name in the Internet industry in the future.

Don't look at their current net worth is not as good as their own, but in terms of cognition and understanding of the Internet, they must be stronger than themselves.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

Moreover, the Internet industry is a new industry after all. In front of this industry, everyone is a blank slate.

It doesn't matter if the idea is not mature, the exchange will be mature, and it does not matter if the general trend of development is unclear, the discussion and discussion will be clear.

The Internet summit in the previous life was launched, and it probably had this intention.

It's just that I didn't expect that in this life, I contributed to the early launch of this prosperous summit.

Immediately decisively decided: "Brother Donglai, the so-called simultaneous listening is clear." Although these Internet entrepreneurs are not well-known at the moment, their deep cultivation and cognition of this industry are still worthy of our reference and learning. At the very least, you're an industry expert, right?"

“...... This time you treat them as experts, learn and learn, and it will be easier for you to get into the industry faster. ”

Wang Donglai nodded in agreement, "Then the convening and initiation of this matter?"

Wu Tao immediately clapped his hand and said: "This matter will be handed over to Shi Qianxue to do, initiated in the name of Apocalypse Investment, she has just visited the other party and is more familiar." ”

That's no problem.

After the Thai baht sniper war, Apocalypse Investment is currently in the domestic investment industry.

Coupled with capital investment companies, the natural attraction of Internet start-ups is not afraid of people not giving face.

After sending Wang Donglai away, Shi Qianxue hurriedly occupied the study and went to make a call.

Although she is still unfamous and participatious in her work now, she can't stand her own interest and motivation.

Wu Tao was idle instead, and sat down on the rattan chair on the balcony, thinking about it in his mind.

Now the domestic affairs part of the game company is taken over by Wang Donglai, with the assistance of Shi Qianxue, which is basically straightened out. At least he doesn't need to worry about specific matters.

However, as the core of the game company, in California, the progress of Qiu Xiaotian and Wu Yingying is still slow.

It can even be said that it is struggling.

It's been half a year, and Qiu Xiaotian and Wu Yingying haven't made any breakthroughs. Even the newly established game development company in Silicon Valley managed to poach a development team from Blizzard Entertainment, but it still did not waver Alan Adhan's determination to refuse to buy.

Looking back, Wu Tao pondered carefully, and he was right!

After all, people now want money and money, people and people, and they want Idea, so why should they accept other people's acquisitions for no reason?

Thinking of this, Wu Tao suddenly realized that he had always misunderstood.

This is the difference in values.

In other words, if the company you worked so hard to build is acquired by outsiders at a premium, as long as the price is right, there is nothing you can't do.

It's these foreigners, all of whom have the energy to get things done. The biggest thing they seek is not money, but their own career and achievements.

So at this time, money is not everything.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao probably knew that the plan to acquire Blizzard Entertainment was about to fail.

When the next call came to Wu Yingying's side, even though it was early in the morning, the call was still answered quickly.

“Hello？”

"It's me. ”

Wu Yingying immediately reacted, "Boss, is there a new instruction?"

Wu Tao was silent for a while, and then asked directly: "Judging from your experience, is it no fun to acquire Blizzard Entertainment?"

"Frankly, yes. Wu Yingying's words were clear and firm, "It's just that Mr. Qiu wants to fight for it again." ”

"Well, the plan to acquire Blizzard Entertainment ends here. Wu Tao decisively ordered, "It's really not good, let's recruit talents and develop our own games!"

When Wu Tao said this, it wasn't all to leave a way back for himself.

Actually, he does have some game Idea available. For example, Counter-Strike, Plants vs. Zombies and other Ideas, it's a big deal that others do it for a year, let's do it for two years.

It's just that in Wu Yingying's voice, developing her own game always seems like angry talk.

So he tentatively proposed: "Boss, do I suggest we consider other start-up game companies?" Among the materials that Miss Shi brought back, there is a small company called Valve Softare, which I think is not bad. The company is based in Seattle and is not well known. ”

"Valve?" Wu Tao sounded a little familiar, and immediately quickly turned to the part of Valve, Villefort Software Company, which was designing and developing a game called Half-Life.

Half-life? Wu Tao's eyelids jumped faintly, isn't this the company that made Counter-Strike?

It's just that this information is all about the Half-Life game, and there is no mention of Counter-Strike.

Wu Tao's heart moved, the opportunity came!

This is really not bright in the West and bright in the East!

"Yingying, after dawn, you will fly to Seattle immediately and contact me with a Chinese-American named Li Ming from Valve. ”

"Li Ming?" Wu Yingying was suddenly puzzled, "Boss, if we want to buy Valve, it's best to contact their founders Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington directly, so that it seems more sincere." ”

Wu Yingying thought that as soon as Wu Tao came up, she would have to take the road of Qiu Xiaotian digging into the corner of Blizzard Entertainment, so she specially reminded her.

Wu Tao suddenly smiled, "Yingying, you misunderstood what I meant. Actually, my goal is not Valve. Because I estimate that Valve, like Blizzard Entertainment, doesn't have much opportunity now, and we can't take advantage of it. ”

“...... The person I've asked you to find, he should be able to give us some new inspiration and help with the game. ”

Li Ming, a Chinese-American, known as Goose Man on the net, is known as the father of CS (Counter-Strike). Counter-Strike, a classic game that transcends Half-Life, was actually his first casual practice at Valve, as an internal game for relaxation and fun among colleagues.

But what I never imagined was that I unintentionally planted willows and willows.

After Half-Life actually went live, this unintentional work was also spread online, only to receive an extraordinary number of downloads and attention.

As a result, Counter-Strike was naturally developed by Valve as a strategic priority, and Li Ming rose as a result.

However, these should be two years later, and the current Li Ming in Valve should be just a minion.

In this way, you will have an opportunity.

"But boss, how do you know Li Ming? and know that he is from Valve. Wu Yingying was keenly aware of this.

Wu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a haha: "When I went back to the United States, we met on the plane, and we talked a lot......
