Chapter 268: Annexation of Valve

The Life of the Demon of Rebirth Chapter 268 Annexation of Valve[VIP]

Valvesoftware is one of the hottest emerging computer software companies in the world today. (), although Valve has only actually developed one game so far - "Half-live". The rest, such as "Counter-Strike" and "Half-Life: for Tat", are related derivative game software. But it doesn't affect its place in the computer game world in the slightest

Half-Live sold 930 copies.

"Half-:-for-Tat" sold 1.1 million copies.

"Half-Life: Operation Blue 00,000 copies.

"Counter-Strike" sold 400,000 copies.

This series of achievements is enough to put most computer game software companies to shame. With this fruitful sales result, Valve has established itself as a leader in the computer game industry.

"The Second Realm". The company has been established for two years. Acting for "Legends" has sparked a frenzy of online games throughout the world in one fell swoop. Then launch Plants vs. Zombies". It also detonated the heat wave of casual online games. After that, "Audition" was released. Announce the storm of leisure and entertainment online games. Counter-Strike Online has just been launched. It's even more incredible. Until now. The monthly net profit is 10 million US dollars.

Future prospects. Limitless.

The two companies merged. For the whole computer game. It was a big earthquake that could change the quality of the computer game software industry.

When Lin Feng Gable wants to hold a press conference. When the merger of the two companies is announced. The media department that can almost be present is present.

Lin Feng and Gable jointly announced the merger of "Second Shijie" and "Valve".

This time, "Second Shijie" and "Valve" merged. The name of the company is "second shijie" (Gable thinks. The name "Second Shijie" is very good. They also hope that the game will bring a second shijie to all players).

The new "second shijie" game software company. Will develop web games in 1, games and single-player games. Go both. In the new "second shijie" tour, the software company is owned by the first "second shijie" with 75 shares and "Valve holds 25 shares. In the past two days, Wu Zhaohe, Gai and others have been grinding their mouths. It is to evaluate the market value of the respective company. After all, neither company is listed. It is true that this assessment is not very accurate. It's also hard to convince. zuihou in order to resolve this unnecessary dispute. Lin Feng invited Hurun to take advantage of Hurun's connections and connections in this area. After the assessment of several authoritative experts - "Ershijie" city - 300 million US dollars. "Valve" has a market capitalization of $10|.

Originally, it was estimated by Hurun. "Second shijie" due to the possession of "cloud computing". And it will be the key to Counter-Strike Online's Asian connectivity. The market value of this "cloud computing" alone is at least more than $5 billion. But what Hurun didn't expect was that the full copyright of cloud computing "belongs to Lin Feng personally. Therefore, "the market value of the second shijie $3 billion is neither more nor less."

At the time of evaluation. Gabrid's "cloud plan" is based on the humble software (BT) of Cohen, which Lin Feng acquired for $50,000. Don't mention the regret in your heart. Ultimately. The new "second shijie" shareholding ratio: Lin Feng holds 502. Li Ze holds 15 shares. Wu Zhaozhi 375. Cui Ming holds 375 shares. Wang Meng held 225. Gable holds 13 Minh-Le and 8. The original "Valve" management held 4.

Although Lin Feng's stake is just over 50. But silk can shake the position of Lin in "shijie". It still has an absolute controlling stake. Not to mention the listing in the future. Take Lin Feng's personal assets. Nor will it sell its shares to cash out. This did not have the slightest impact on Lin Feng's position in the "second shijie".

As for the new "second realm" personnel appointments and dismissals. Lin Feng is also the chairman and president. Wu Zhao served as vice president. He is in charge of the online game department, Gable is the deputy general manager of the single-player game department, and Minh-Le of CS is the head of the game development department. While maintaining Counter-Elite Online. Development of "Shijie Wars".

At the same time, the 5th Game Development Department was established. The Minister is also Gable. Responsible for the development of "Half Article 2". Most of the staff is made up of members of the original "valve" game development team. And when absorbing several Jishu solid domestic programmers.

Afterwards. Lin Feng established the "Jishu R&D Department". En Ren Minister. Responsible for the research on "cloud computing". As for the issue of "cloud computing" ownership. Feng signed a free authorization for "Second Shijie" to use "cloud computing". Of course. The copyright is still fully owned by Lin Feng personally.

After the reorganization. About the salary treatment above. Due to the differences between the two countries. In particular, most of Valve's employees are in Silicon Valley. There is too much gap between the level of wages and benefits in China. If it is also based on the domestic wage standard. The dissatisfaction of the original "valve" employees will definitely come. After careful consideration. Lin Feng re-emerged

A new salary structure

There are three levels of salary. The salary scale of each employee will be graded by the company's personnel department according to the level and business ability of each employee.

Ordinary procedures. Level 1 year 8. The annual salary of the second level is 100,000. $50,000 per year for three levels (programmer salary in valve).

Main Programmer. Level 1 annual salary 12. 00,000 per year for the second level. The annual salary of the third level is 100,000 yuan (now the salary of the main programmer of Valve).

Art design. 50,000 per year for the first level. Level 2 Annual Salary 8. $2,500 for three years (now Valve principal programmer salary).

This brand new salary is set. Won the welcome of all employees of the company. Whether it is the original "second shijie" member. Or the former "Valve" employee. are extremely satisfied.

Lin Feng is also extremely satisfied with this salary structure. This can not only prevent the game production talents cultivated by the "second shijie" from being poached by other companies. It can also promote healthy competition within the company. Especially now that the company has a "valea" game development team. These people are the original team members who developed "Half-Life". Have them to guide. Lin Feng believes that this group of programmers in China will grow up soon. Although it is easy to dig around for talent. But it is far less than the people who have been cultivated by themselves to have a sense of belonging and loyalty to the company. What's more, it has also cultivated game production talents for the motherland. It can also be regarded as a contribution to the game of the motherland

Of course. This is a comprehensive adjustment of wages. While bringing passion and motivation to all employees. It has undoubtedly also greatly increased the salary cost of the "second shijie". However, it also unexpectedly solved the dissatisfaction in my heart before.

Previously succeeded by the "second shijie". "Legend", "Plants vs. Zombies". and now attracts a large number of beauties, "Audition" has made "the second shijie make a lot of money." Lin Feng became the youngest and richest person in Chinese mainland. But for the average employee. Wages have not risen. This made most employees extremely unhappy. Whining a lot. Of course. The most important reason for this is that the skill level of these employees is only worthy of such a high salary. But for employees. They don't think about their own level. On the contrary, I felt that Lin Feng was too stingy. This is a salary increase. Although most employees did not get a salary increase. But the three-tier wage system also gives all employees hope and motivation to struggle. Naturally, it also alleviated the dissatisfaction in the hearts of employees.

Although the cost of wages has doubled. But fortunately, the "Legend" and "Audition" of the "Second Shijie" are now in the hot spot. between the two games. "Legend" is the most profitable. The monthly net profit is about 10 million US dollars. "Audition" is far inferior to "Legend" for the time being. But the monthly net profit is also more than 1 million US dollars. As the wages of the "second shijie" rose in a straight line. In one fell swoop, it became the company with the highest salary among domestic online game companies. But it has also become the most desirable company for all game talents. There is a future. The salary is high. No one can say no. The job position of the "second shijie". It also instantly became a dream position in the eyes of talents in the game industry.

And for this merger. There was an exclamation of surprise in the whole world -- the wolf is coming! Several important domestic telecommunications and magazines published the most important articles on the joint news of "Second Shijie" and "Valve." After the merger, the company "Second Shijie" became the darling of all the media to report on the new computer software game involving computer stand-alone games and online online games.

That same evening. "News Network" also highlighted the news of the merger of "Second Shijie" and "Valve". This is also the second time Lin Feng has appeared on "News Network". Last time, it was in the United States because of the "Trial of the Century" and appeared on "News Network". However, the Central Station took into account various factors. It's almost just a sentence. Not like this time. Lin Feng appeared on the camera for a full three minutes. It can appear for three minutes on "News Network". to prove this time - and the sensation it caused. and the country's emphasis on forest winds.

The domestic media praised Lin Feng. This is the official departure of the Chinese gaming industry out of China. A big step for physiognomy shijie. It proves that China really has the strength to compete with Shijie's excellent game manufacturers. Highly praised Lin Feng for being the Chinese game industry - Amstor (Apollo moon landing. Americans who took the first step).

As for the domestic Lin Feng, those competitors. But he was lonely and resentful. There is also a bit of jealousy and unwillingness. Obviously, they didn't expect Lin Feng to have such courage to annex "Valve". It has become a game software company with stand-alone game development capabilities and online game development capabilities. And for these domestic online game companies. It's more just online game operators. There is no game development capability at all. Undoubtedly. The annexation of the wind this time. They have been left far behind. Let them be out of reach. Even sighed.
