Bill looked depressed as soon as Roper looked depressed. Since leaving Northern Blizzard Studios in August due to disagreements, he has been looking for investors. But things haven't been going well. Bill and Roper contacted many venture capitalists during this time, but either the other party asked for too high equity, or the other party wanted Bill and Roper and others to join their game company, which was not what Bill Roper wanted.

After tossing and turning, Bill Roper found Ellison, the most forward-looking and unique president of Oracle, and hoped that he could invest in their new game team and let them develop more games. However, the negotiations were also extremely unsmooth. It's not that Ellison is reluctant to invest, on the contrary, Ellison is very interested in their elite team that has left the Blizzard studio in the north, and is willing to invest. And agreed that the initial investment would be 10,000 dollars.

When he first heard about Ellison's intention, Bill Roper almost thought that he had "Bole", but Ellison asked Bill and Roper and others to open an online game, instead of a stand-alone game as they expected. This disappointed Bill and Roper and others. They have always believed that there is still a large market for single-player games at present, and for a long time to come. As far as the current game jishu is concerned, no matter how good the online game is, it can't replace the unparalleled exquisite graphics and sound effects of the stand-alone game, as well as the plot that makes people forget to sleep and eat.

But Ellison insisted that he must open an online game, otherwise he would never invest his money in a single-player game. Bill Roper was extremely upset by this result. He wanted to give up, but he couldn't find a better investor for a while, so he had to pursue Allison to New York. I hope to be able to consult with him again. Even if they give up a little more stake.

However, the negotiations were very difficult. Ellison is unusually insistent on online games, and he simply doesn't let up. This left Bill and Roper at a loss. The two sides have essential differences in philosophy.

"Mr. Ellison, I hope you can understand that although online games are extremely popular at the moment, the single-player game market also has its undesirable status. For example, our series and so on, these can prove that players still love single-player games very much. Mr. Ellison, online games are just one mode of play, but not the only one!" Bill Roper went to great lengths to explain the difference between single-player and online games, explaining the different player groups of the two games.

Unfortunately, his explanation was completely useless. Allison shook his head. "Bill, I have a lot of faith in the strength of your team in the gaming world, and I'm willing to invest my money in you. But it has to be an online game. Instead of a single-player game. I believe you know better than me about the prospects of the online game market. "Second shijie. The annual "second shijie" creates hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, which is unmatched by any single-player game. I am a businessman. I invest naturally in the hope of getting a bigger return. Online games can give me the greatest reward! Not to mention, the Internet is the future!" Ellison shook his head and said.

Bill and Roper sighed. He had just lowered the required venture capital to $10,000, but Ellison still didn't let go, and was willing to increase the investment, as long as Bill Roper and others were willing to open online games. There are fundamental and irreconcilable differences in the ideas of the two sides.

I'm afraid that this time he really can only go back empty-handed.

Just then, a man walked in.

"Yes, the web is the future. But in the world of gaming, online games can never replace the excitement of stand-alone games!", a male voice said sonorously.

Hearing this, Bill, Roper, and Ellison both looked up and looked at each other.

For Bill Roper, this sentence is a long drought and frost. During this time, many investors have been explaining to Bill Roper the fact that single-player games are going to be outdated, and online games are king. This warmed Bill Roper's heart. To hear this sentence in this "cold winter wax moon" is like drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup in winter, and the whole body is warm.

Everison snorted. There are people who advocate the goodness of single-player games, and they are simply crazy. Now in the game industry, the success of "Second Shijie" shows that the prospects of online games are very bright and brilliant, and even companies such as "Bi" have increased their investment in online games. At this time, some people actually said that the single-player game was good, but it was a fart! He wanted to see who was making a big fuss here.

Unexpectedly, when Bill and Ellison saw the comer, they were all stunned.

Although they had never met before, they were all too familiar. How could this person be here? Bill Roper and Ellison looked at each other, both at a loss, not understanding Lin Feng, a person who had created the glory of online games. How did it appear here. What especially made the two of them a little dumbfounded was that Lin Feng, the overlord of online games, would actually say that stand-alone games were good in front of the two. It's a little too ironic.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to appear here, disrespectful!

"Mr. Ellison, long admiration, long admiration. Lin Feng smiled faintly.

Bill and Roper also got up after being stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Lin, your company's achievements in the game industry are really embarrassing for our game companies!" Although Blizzard has a cooperative relationship with the "Second Shijie", it is mainly with Blizzard Entertainment, as for the Northern Blizzard Studio, it has never dealt with Lin Feng, and this is also the first time Bill Roper has met Lin Feng face-to-face. "Mr. Lin, I don't think we should have met this time!" Ellison asked in a mysterious voice.

Lin Feng's sudden appearance, boasting that the stand-alone game is good, is by no means a coincidental encounter. Fear. Lin Feng should have come to Bill and Roper.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Bill, I just visited Blizzard Entertainment and heard about the Blizzard Studios in the North where you and your team left, and learned that you've been looking for investors to make the game you have in mind. So, I had an intention to work with you right now, so I rushed over from Houston right away. Lin Feng said.

As soon as Bill heard Rober, he almost didn't believe his ears. Lin Feng would actually come for himself?

"Mr. Lin, our ambition is to make the most fun single-player game, not an online game. We've always thought that online games have always been about repeating and repeating in constant quests, relying on the same quests and equipment, and attracting players, and this is not the game we want!" said Bill Roper later, feeling a little emotional.

All along, they didn't like so-called online games. It's too boring. All day long is equipment, linked, quests, endless, apart from these, there is no real attraction for players in online games. Bill Roper and his team are going to make a game that is worth studying and pondering. As a result, their philosophy is at odds with many of today's venture capitalists, which is why they have such a reputation but have not been able to find a venture capitalist.

But now, there is a man who says he is willing to vote for them, which is good news. But the opposite scene is actually Lin Feng, the current overlord of the online game industry, which is really ironic.

Could it be that the world's single-player game investors are blind, and they actually rely on an online game company to invest in single-player games?

It's so ironic!

"I know, Bill, I'm willing to invest in you and let you play the perfect game in your mind. I don't interfere in any way! You can play any game you want. Lin Feng nodded and said.

The promise of being able to play whatever game style you like makes Bill and Roper feel like they're being carried away by happiness for a while.

Bill and Roper really didn't know what to say for a while. It's also too exciting. Just now he was extremely depressed, worried about the lack of Bole, and now God actually sent a Bole, and let him play freely, the ups and downs of this life are too fast, and too exciting.

"By the way, Mr. Ellison, I do. You won't mind, I would like to thank you for my reckless behavior. Lin Feng saw Bill's and Roper's expression, and had already guessed that he would agree. After all, after suffering so many setbacks, I will never let go of such a good opportunity now. But he ran out so boldly, which offended Ellison a little. At least I talked to people well, and suddenly a person intervened, and I was somewhat unhappy in my heart.

Allison smiled and shook his head. Although he attaches great importance to Bill Roper, now that the two of them do not agree, they naturally cannot continue to cooperate. Since he can't continue to cooperate, Lin Feng's investment in Bill Roper has nothing to do with him, and he has nothing to worry about. Ellison is one such person. For him, what he likes is that he must get it, no matter who the opponent is, he has to do his best to get it back. But if you can't see it. No matter how good it is, he won't ask for it.

But now, Ellison is quite curious about Lin Feng's investment in the Bill Roper team. What is Lin Feng's intention to treat Bill Yi Roper and others so much? Could it be that Lin Feng really values single-player games so much?

Thinking of this, Allison rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Roper, I am very glad that you were able to reach an agreement. I don't think it's okay to let me be an east, and my yacht is about to be launched, so why don't you celebrate with a simple signing reception for the two of you on my yacht?" Ellison invited.

Lin Feng and Bill and Roper glanced at each other and readily agreed. After all, the two of them have somewhat lost Ellison's face, and now he proposes to hold a signing reception for both parties, and the two can't refuse. Otherwise, it would be a complete offense to Allison.

"Okay, Mr. Ellison, then Xiexie your kindness, I will definitely be there in three days!" Lin Feng readily agreed.

But I didn't know that this reception would make Lin Feng's life magnificent and turbulent again. (To be continued)
