Although it is said that you will lose some freedom by doing so, you will also get more money to develop the game.

Even if the game doesn't work by then, you can continue with another game.

Of course, there is such a clause in the clause.

During the ten years that the acquisition contract is in effect, no employees of any fist company shall be laid off unless serious professional mistakes have been made!

Of course, those who voluntarily leave their jobs do not count.

With this article, it is the reason why Max agreed!

Mao Yi was embarrassed.

At first, he just thought that Max would not want to work for others, and deliberately set a high price, the purpose was just not to let Max choose.

After all, the first one is very strict in all aspects except for the price.

But......

He completely forgot about the peculiarities of Bilibili!

At this time, Bilibili did not have a game department.

This also leads to the fact that after Bilibili has a clause that cannot be actively laid off, in a short period of time, it can only rely on Riot's own employees to carry out!

In other words......

Max handed over a lot of rights, but at the end of the day, they all need to be enforced.

And because the other party couldn't lay off without serious mistakes, Mao Yi also had no way to take the employees under the fist.

Max could have transferred the other party to an idle department, and then waited for a while before transferring the person back.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this.

But......

It's disgusting.

Can you think of what kind of income return LOL brought to the penguins in the previous life......

Mao Yi gritted his teeth and agreed!

In the end, Mao Yi spent 50 million US dollars to acquire Riot in full.

Naturally, this transaction also caused an earthquake in the domestic gaming circle.

No one thought that Mao Yi would spend so much money to acquire a little-known company!

How much is $50 million?

In this era, a lot.

But how much is $50 million?

In the previous life, Penguin acquired the shares of Fist, from 20+ to 90+, and spent 200 million US dollars, not to mention the funds spent by more than 90 to 100% holdings.

Now, $50 million can buy the entire Riot company......

It's really a lot of money!

Because the contract was signed, Max became a member of Bilibili.

Of course, he still holds the position of general manager at Riot.

The position remains the same, except for the parent company becoming Bilibili, Mao Yi did not make any changes to the personnel of the fist.

This was clearly very satisfying to Max.

Before leaving, Mao Yi called Zhou Jingqi and asked her to go to the United States, the purpose is to supervise Max, in addition to expanding the scale of the fist, the remaining funds are used to buy Justin.tv website.

At this time, the site had only just been created and had not yet become a Twitch.

While Twitch isn't the biggest streaming platform in the past, it's the world's largest and largest game streaming site and community of gamers.

So by buying this website, Mao Yi can take advantage of this east wind to bypass some unnecessary troubles.

Although he has the face of the fourth master, there will be more care above.

But Mao Yi didn't want to take the risk.

What is the prospect of live streaming platforms?

Mao Yi knows exactly as a person who has come over!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the adjective of making money every day is not exaggerated!

Although I don't understand why Mao Yi is suddenly interested in a foreign website, since Mao Yi said it, Zhou Jingqi naturally won't refuse.

Subsequently, Mao Yi started a new round of recruitment and set up his own game department.

Of course, the first batch of employees will need to go to Riot to study, so it is necessary to be able to speak and converse in English proficiently.

With the help of the power of the 50 million US dollars that he had acquired Fist before, this time it didn't take much effort for Mao Yi to recruit the first batch of employees.

Although the professional quality required is somewhat high, the first team of 10 people has also been formed.

Of course, the question of the loyalty of these people is naturally also a problem.

However, Mao Yi also signed a contract, and everyone's contract liquidated damages were 20 million.

As the first batch of employees of the company, Mao Yi's treatment is naturally not bad.

Including room and board, 600,000 yuan per person per year.

But this 600,000 is not so easy to get, and you need to conduct a year-end assessment, and if you don't pass the assessment, then you will get a bonus according to the final score.

For example, on the paper with a full score of 100 points, if you take the test 80, that is, 60*0.8, that is, 480,000.

And this volume is also different according to the different departments of each department.

Although Mao Yi was not a gamer in his previous life, he was a gamer.

Of course, he's one of those very water gamers.

But he knows what games are fun.

So the task was to ask ten people to make a game when they returned.

One per year.

You can just make a start, and then judge whether they are "academically" qualified or not based on this game.

A game department, can't you make games?

And this tradition is also the tradition of the later Bilibili game department.

It was even extended to the later stage.

In this process, there are also some very classic games, of course, that's all for later, not to mention for the time being.

After Mao Yi took care of the game department, he began to prepare to expand the live broadcast platform.

Of course, before starting, Mao Yi has to do one thing first.

That's advertising.

In the past few years, the Internet has entered its first decade, and China is dominated by PC games, web games and terminal games.

There is no shadow of mobile games, and single-player games have also died because of piracy.

It can be said that it is very difficult to promote the live broadcast platform in this era.

So how to do it?

The first thing Mao Yi contacted was Jiucheng.

That is, the agent of the national server of "World of Warcraft".

However, the negotiation process did not go well.

Jiucheng eventually rejected Mao Yi's request for authorization.

It's not something that can't be understood.

After all, for domestic game companies at this time, live broadcast is a brand-new project, and it is still unknown what the prospect will be.

Mao Yi turned around and went to find the penguin.

Compared with Jiucheng, the penguins showed great interest.

After proposing a takeover to no avail, Penguin naturally agreed to the authorization of the "DNF" live broadcast platform.

I have to say that in terms of vision, the penguin side is much better than Jiucheng.

But if it's just DNF, it's a bit too monotonous.

Mao Yi deliberately went to Blizzard.

After a brief negotiation, Blizzard showed great surprise at Mao Yi's arrival.

In recent years, with the development of the domestic game industry, although it has gone crooked, it has to be said that the Chinese game market has gradually entered the eyes of the world's game manufacturers.

Of course, the copyright awareness in Huaxia has not yet appeared, and most people are prostitutes, resulting in the efforts of many game makers being wasted.

Therefore, many times, world-class game manufacturers have a skeptical attitude towards the Chinese market.

But Blizzard is the exception.

How profitable World of Warcraft is, Mao Yi will not talk about it, Diablo 2 has appeared for many years, even after ten years, it still has many people who love it, this is the charm of Blizzard games!

However, it is a pity that due to indescribable reasons, Diablo 2 has never been released in China, and the quality of the follow-up Diablo 3 is not enough to impress players, and it has been replaced by the road of exile made by the employees who ran away from Blizzard, I have to say, this is a pity.

Coupled with the war between Nine Cities and NetEase in the later generations, the World of Warcraft was cool, and the decline of MMORPG made Blizzard more and more declining.

If it weren't for the release of a promotional video of Diablo Four before Mao Yi's rebirth, so as to remind people of the benefits of Blizzard, I am afraid it would have been forgotten long ago.
