Chapter 367: Game Empire

In fact, Lin Fan still didn't get the Afghan restaurant he was looking forward to, he settled at a KFC for lunch, which was still delicious. This tells us a truth: people must learn to admit defeat, and there may be good luck after admitting defeat.

Still in his own villa, Lin Fan doesn't like the American way of socializing, talking about things in conference rooms or office buildings. The best way to show intimacy in Huaxia is to invite you to your home or have a meal together. Lin Fan is not worried that these foreigners are not suitable for his own way of communication, because now he is the boss.

But it seems that these three have done their homework before they came, at least everyone didn't come empty-handed, everyone brought a little gift, Lin Fan liked Huaxia the most, and the gifts were still exchanged.

Lin Fan looked at the three people in front of him, in fact, these three people are very young, the eldest person in charge of Baokai Games, Garon, is only in his thirties now, he has been the CEO of the company before, and he is also the CTO of the company.

Star, the head of Riot Games and the founder, continues to work on the premise of retaining 10% of the shares, and the team he leads is also very young, with an average age of about 28 years old, which is a very young and energetic team.

The last Rovio company was even younger, founded in 2003 by three students from the Helsinki University of Technology, who Kevin was the leader of the three, and the three still retain 15% of the company's shares.

"I'm very happy that the three of you are here, I guess you are very nervous now, you don't know why I want to buy your company, I don't know if I will dictate the future of the company, and even worry about whether I will fire you. But I can tell you unequivocally that none of these worries exist. ”

Kevin, from Finland, wasn't too nervous, and the first thing he and his companions did when they set up the company was to convince investors to invest. Now he is very calm when he faces it again, "Boss, although I shouldn't deny your investment vision, it's a fact that my company is on the verge of bankruptcy, so?"

Lin Fan understands that this is a test of his professionalism, and he is really an American who will not turn around, but Lin Fan agrees that the three of them have no idea of showing their hands, otherwise how can they control this group of technicians in the future?

"I'm very optimistic about the touchscreen game that Rovio is developing, but I'm actually more optimistic about Apple's platform, a game based on a huge number of Apple users, enough to brew a huge storm. Speaking of this, Lin Fan smiled, "Actually, I don't know much about technology, but I think rovio's move is a bit similar to the cooperation between mortals and Microsoft at the beginning, with the help of the huge platform of the Microsoft Store, to incubate our PS and mortal antivirus." ”

Kevin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Apple has only been launched for more than a year, and the Apple Store was only launched in July this year, their company thinks this is a good opportunity, but they didn't expect that they are not only smart people, Lin Fan has already seen it.

"The boss is too modest, who doesn't know that the world's No. 1 antivirus software is from you and Mr. Xu Sheng? If you don't understand technology, no one understands technology. ”

Lin Fan smiled indifferently, in response to Kevin's flattery, and then continued to speak, "Your game project continues, I am very optimistic about this Angry Birds." I also have an idea that I need to implement through your company, and I'm going to finish a farm simulation game. The user has his own farm on the virtual land, and the user usually grows vegetables and harvests vegetables, which is a business game, but the fun is more social.

Users log in through a mortal account or Twitter account, and users can make friends with people they know, and then they can go to their friends' farms to steal vegetables........"

Finally waited until Lin Fan didn't say anything, Kevin had already opened his eyes wide, "The fun of this game lies in the communication of users, but the dishes that I have cultivated with great difficulty have been stolen, you steal me, I steal you, simple and playable is very large, this is really a genius idea!"

Lin Fanfeng waved his hand lightly, and by the way, he apologized to Ma Huateng in his heart.

"When I go back, I'll set up a working group and start working on the game right away, and I hope to see it in 2009. ”

"Boss, we won't let you down. ”

When Lin Fan looked at Garon, Garon couldn't help but feel excited, Bao Kai was far more embarrassed than Rovio, if Lin Fan could also give him a good idea, Bao Kai might be able to regain his glory.

Who knew that Lin Fan opened his mouth and said, "Garon, step up the development of your company's existing project." ”

'What?'

"Questions?"

"Boss, our company is far more embarrassed than Rovio, if you have a good idea, be sure to advise. ”

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, "Garon, why do you guess I invested in you?"

Garon shook his head, since Bejeweled, Bao Kai has lost his glory, he has made a lot of efforts to achieve this, but unfortunately it has not worked, to be honest, he himself does not know what Bao Kai has value.

"It's Plants vs. Zombies. ”

"Is it it?" Gallon was not surprised, the project was really a serendipitous project, the company was in trouble, the developers couldn't afford to be idle, and then the game was born. "The boss is optimistic about it?"

"Of course. Lin Fan gave an affirmative answer, "It will become popular all over the United States and even the world in the future." ”

Garon was speechless, if Lin Fan was not his boss, he really wanted to slam the door and leave, just invest based on his own subjective impression, this is too nonsense. He is even worried now that if Lin Fan invests with such an idea, once Plants vs. Zombies fails to meet Lin Fan's huge expectations, who will Baokai be sold to cheaply?

Lin Fan didn't know Garon's thoughts, so he looked directly at Stone, "I don't need to say much about the situation of your company, just develop this project in hand, and I won't be short of funds." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Fan clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention to him, "Everyone, I spent 1300 million US dollars to acquire three companies, and I am definitely not joking. ”

The three of them felt the seriousness of Lin Fan's tone, and immediately held their breath, it was possible that the next words were related to the fate of the three of them.

"Through the arrangement I just made, you must have a general understanding, rovio is biased towards mobile, Baokai is biased towards web games, and Riot is biased towards online games. Actually, that's how I'm positioning the three companies, and I can tell you very clearly that the three companies will merge at the right time, and these three companies will become the three development divisions of the new company, and then I will also buy some other game companies and merge them into the new game group.

But I'm a nostalgic person, and when the CEO of the new group doesn't have an accident, it will be among the three of you, and whoever can become the CEO depends on your respective achievements. ”

When Lin Fan's words fell, the breath of the three people couldn't help but become short, a soldier who didn't want to be a general was not a good soldier!

Seeing that there was already a faint smell of gunpowder between the three of them, Lin Fan was still smiling, and he was happy to see this scene come to ......
