Riot didn't actually want to make this intention to cooperate, and several of Riot's founders were from the Dota project team. Dota is now approaching beauty, but the graphics are a bit too subordinate, and some models are still using the model of "The Frozen Throne".

Moreover, the program operation of "Warcraft" also restricts the operation of Dota to a certain extent, making Dota difficult to get started, and it is not suitable for novices to play.

So, in the midst of all these problems, there is a group of people who have decided to follow Dota and make a good competitive game, a competitive game that can run independently. Among these people, led by Sheep Knife, Pendragan, and Tom, they broke away from the Dota production team and began to seek to form their own company.

When they left the Dota production team, they suddenly noticed a strange thing, and some of their initial premise suddenly appeared in a comic.

Originally, a few people thought it was a coincidence, but after they saw this comic from China, they were surprised to find that this comic not only realized some of their settings, but also had a lot of rules in Dota, and upgraded the rules of Dota, even more complete than they imagined.

And there are dozens or hundreds of heroes in it, which is another introduction to Dota games entirely. They can be sure that as long as they can get the adaptation rights of the folded comics, they can directly make games.

After reading this comic, they didn't want to get the adaptation rights of "League of Legends" because their company didn't settle down yet!

By June, enough money had finally been raised, and Riot was officially founded.

After the establishment of the company, the division of labor began, writing programs for writing programs, and designing heroes for designing heroes. I don't know what's going on, those who design heroes and design scenes always unconsciously lean on the comic "League of Legends".

If it doesn't look good, modify it, and the more it is modified, the more it looks like it was picked up in "League of Legends". Some people directly take the pictures of "League of Legends" and compare the design drafts, and immediately have an urge to destroy the computer, and the design drafts are not as good as the original versions.

More than a month has passed like this, and there are not many things that have been designed to be used. Several bigwigs are also worried, the company has gotten the money, but the progress is still spinning at zero, and it is estimated that investors want to die.

survived until mid-August, and several bigwigs had no choice but to send cooperation intentions to Manfeng.

Fortunately, when the English version of "League of Legends" was released, it left Manfeng's address, contact information, fax and other information, otherwise Riot would not have found a way to find someone to work with.

However, as soon as the intention of cooperation was issued, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement at all.

Well, Liu Shuo was in Yiwu at the time, and Cheng Hui didn't dare to disturb Liu Shuo, so he kept pressing.

Liu Shuo was very interested in this news, and he said to Zheng Hui: "Send a reply to this riot company and ask them what kind of cooperation method they have?"

Cheng Hui nodded and asked the secretary to arrange an answer.

It's still evening on the American side, so Liu Shuo hasn't received a reply.

However, in the morning in the United States, as soon as Yang Dao opened the door of the company, he found a fax. When I walked over and looked at it, my heart immediately jumped. The Chinese side actually replied! However, the problem has been kicked back, and what kind of cooperation method is there?

Riot was built in a hurry, and the funds were simply not enough to buy the adaptation rights of "League of Legends". Sheep Knife has already investigated when he made his intention to cooperate, "League of Legends" is a very popular comic, and it has a certain influence in China and even East and Southeast Asia.

Even in the United States, because of the cultural gap between "League of Legends", it is not very popular. But there are die-hard fans who are desperate for it, especially the group of people who play Dota, who are almost going to play this book as a guide.

For such a comic, the adaptation rights will cost at least millions of dollars. But not to mention millions, it's half a million dollars, and Riot can't even come up with it now, because most of his money is used to buy running engines.

When Yang Dao saw that someone else in the company was coming, he immediately shouted loudly: "Inform everyone, let them rush to the company as soon as possible, we have a meeting!"

All the people in Riot arrived in the conference room, and Yang Dao handed Manfeng's reply to everyone to read, "So, now we have a way to win the adaptation rights at the lowest possible cost." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't pay much attention, they didn't know much about Manfeng and Liu Shuo, and they couldn't think of a good solution at all. They're all a bunch of game nerds, and they're not very good at communicating.

In the end, Tom said, "We can't talk by fax like that, let's have the other side talk!

Indeed, the United States is the home of the Riot companies, and negotiating in the United States is quite beneficial to them.

However, Liu Shuo is not a fool, he is not good at English, and he knows nothing about the United States, and he can't find it if he gets lost. So he asked Cheng Hui to reply to the other party and asked the other party to come to China to talk.

Fist was once again stupid after receiving the fax. They are not familiar with China either! But there is no way, they urgently need to use the setting of "League of Legends", and they have wasted more than a month, and if they don't come up with some results, the investors will really go crazy.

Riot had no choice but to send Tom, who was the most sociable of all, to China with an employee and a translator.

On September 3, Tom got off the plane at BJ Airport and just walked out of the security check when he saw someone coming to pick him up. The people who came were a man and a woman, the man holding a card with the English name of the fist company in his hand, and the woman waiting with a briefcase in her hand.

Tom walked up, held out his hand to the man, and said, "Hello, I'm Tom of Riot." ”

Tom doesn't speak Chinese, only English, but when the translator next to him was just about to translate, the man stretched out his hand and shook him, and a mouthful of standard American English popped out of his mouth: "Hello Tom, welcome to BJ!"

Tom looked at the man in surprise, and the man smiled and said, "I studied in the United States and am a temporary translator for Manfeng Company. You can call me Jiang!"

"Jiang?" Tom screamed awkwardly, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, the Chinese name is too awkward!"

The man smiled and said, "That's why I didn't tell you my full name!"

"Haha—thank you!" Tom laughed at the man's humor.

The man greeted the two men who were with him, and then said, "Let's get to the car first! I'll introduce you to the places of interest in BJ so that you can have fun!"
