Bubbles, to some extent, also mean prosperity.

Especially for the emerging form of industry such as the Internet, just pull a few like-minded people, find a place, or simply rent a garage, pick up a few computers, and you can get started.

Whether it's Blizzard Entertainment or Welfort Software, that's how it got started.

The key is to have a reliable IDEA.

The Internet era has made entrepreneurship fast, and the entire process from IDEA to product has been simplified as much as possible.

Coupled with the active support and policy tilt of the local government, it is no wonder that the Internet industry here in Silicon Valley is so prosperous.

If Wu Tao hadn't known what would happen a few years later, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe that behind the prosperity here, there was a bigger and bigger Internet bubble.

But no matter how big the Internet bubble is, it doesn't matter to Wu Tao.

Because he is full of confidence in the FPS game of Counter-Strike. This is definitely an extremely reliable IDEA, which has been tested by the market for so many years in the previous life.

In addition, Wu Tao wants money and people, and even the starting place is in Santa Clara's Mountain View City, in a small building with winding paths.

These conditions are much better than those who start a business in a garage.

Just do it.

In the small building on the second floor, the small team led by Jeff is already busy, and it looks so fulfilling.

This kind of enrichment directly dispelled all kinds of doubts in everyone's hearts. At least Jeff is no longer clamoring to go home to take care of his wife, who is pregnant with Rokka.

Qiu Xiaotian responded to the order and began to sort out the recruiter's brochure according to the organizational structure of Blizzard Entertainment.

However, recruiting people and workers in the United States is not as casual as it is in China. Because once a person is recruited, he will be responsible for it to the end.

Otherwise, no matter how big and strong the company is, the labor arbitration institution will be able to make you unable to eat and walk around.

This is also the reason why he has repeatedly confirmed the recruitment with Wu Tao before.

Once you are recruited, you can't easily regret it, otherwise you will have to wait to pay liquidated damages.

Walking out of the small building where Tianxing Game Company is located, Wu Tao found that the scenery here has a unique flavor.

If you look for a group of buildings hidden in the green water and vegetation, you may be the future Internet industry giant.

Walking to the road in front of the small building, Wu Tao noticed that his small workshop company was close to Highway 101.

I have the impression that the future Google company will make its home here.

It seems that by this coincidence, it is adjacent to the Internet giant.

For a while, Wu Tao's heart was also full of pride. In such a vigorous and upward development environment, the whole person was affected unconsciously.

After a few hours of leisure, I simply dealt with lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, I ushered in the dusty Wu Yingying and the goose man Li Ming.

The meeting took place not at the company, but at a café in the city center.

At the first glance of Li Ming, Wu Tao was also shocked, no wonder Wu Yingying would have such judgmental words before.

Dressed plainly, the performance is silent, and there are even some students who are timid, or called wooden.

Between words and deeds, there is a unique Chinese prudence in words and deeds.

Coupled with the conversation style of the technical nerd's 'don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle', it can be said that it is quite difficult to talk about gossip.

At least compared with Wu Yingying, who is engaged in finance, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

At the same time, Li Ming was also secretly observing Wu Tao through various secretly looking eyes.

I'm afraid this kid is younger than himself, right, and he's already the boss?

Wouldn't it be the rich second generation who only knows how to spend money?

For a while, Li Ming was also a little worried in his heart, so that he always couldn't keep up with the rhythm when he spoke, and he was half a beat slower.

After an awkward chat between the two sides, Wu Tao simply took the initiative to cut to the chase.

"Mr. Li, what do you think about the video game industry?" It seems that he has not yet come out of the rhythm of awkward chatting, and the first question asked by Wu Tao is too big.

Fortunately, after Li Ming took over the topic, he replied very down-to-earth, "Video games? I also like to do some design and do some programming. Take advantage of the convenience provided by game manufacturers to build your favorite game scenes and configurations. ”

"The entrepreneurial environment in the United States is very free and open, and Mr. Li never thought of finding one or two like-minded people to create a small business together, make his own ideas, and then sell them?"

Li Ming scratched his head, "Most of my current companions are just like me, addicted to software technology, you know. There is a lack of insight like Miss Wu, so ......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Yingying without a trace, and then his face turned red embarrassedly.

It seems that this is a bit interesting to Wu Yingying.

At that moment, Wu Tao didn't break it, and asked himself: "Has Mr. Li done game development or similar work in the past?"

"I've done some ......," Li Ming said intermittently, clearly trying to organize his language, "for example, I'm doing some interesting modding and development ...... for the Quake game right now."

For people like Li Ming, Wu Tao can be regarded as having given himself enough patience.

Because he realized that he was about this kind of person in his previous life. Even if it wasn't, it wasn't much better than him.

After a description that was not smooth, Wu Tao got the amount of information he wanted, that is, Li Ming in front of him was the person he was looking for.

On the contrary, Li Ming talked less and less, and the more he talked, the more he didn't want to talk, and it seemed that he lacked a sense of identity with Wu Tao.

At that moment, Wu Tao decisively ended this purposeful tentative Q&A, and began to talk about game ideas in a whimsical manner.

"Mr. Lee, I just recently came up with the idea of a first-person shooter (FPS), and here's how it works......"

How do you know that when talking about this game idea, Li Ming on the other side is simply alive.

Seeing Wu Yingying holding coffee, she was dumbfounded.

The appearance of this eyebrow fluttering is simply the same as the image she has seen before.

At first, Wu Tao just wanted to hook the other party with this idea, win some recognition, and then pull people under his own.

Unexpectedly, the more they chatted, the more enjoyable they became, and the more they chatted, the more they couldn't hold it, and even the content with some details was revealed.

This is actually very dangerous.

Once the IDEA is taken and copied by someone else, it is worthless.

Fortunately, Li Ming was so excited that his face was flushed, and it seemed that there was no such scheming.

It wasn't until after changing several cups of coffee that the two of them temporarily stopped and went to the bathroom separately.

When he came back, Wu Tao asked straight to the point, "Mr. Li, for the sake of the same Huaxia family, are you interested in coming to work in my company?"

"Absolutely. Li Ming blurted out, "But for the sake of game creativity, I like this idea, and I also enjoy the process of turning this idea into reality." But I have one more condition. ”

"All aspects of treatment, you can mention it casually. Wu Tao is also happy and generous.

"I have a companion whose name is Jesse Cliff. I hope to be able to join your company with him!"

"No problem!" Wu Tao didn't even ask, so he decisively agreed, seeing Wu Yingying's puzzled face, who this Jesse Cliff is still unknown, why can't he wait to agree?
