readx;? Su Can is as interesting about Blizzard's World of Warcraft as he was about Facebook in the first place, and it is a pioneering initiative that will change a lot of things that the future knows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info\\、qВ5、//For many otaku in the future, they may remember the first trip on the continent of Azeroth, and the first time they experienced the world story that Blizzard has always come to and reshaped the Western orthodox fantasy framework system. There is also the experience of calling friends to accompany you in the dormitory dormitory and countless people to get off the dungeon. I remember the bewitching voice of the battlefield heroine, remember to let the girl next to her play the game clumsily, and then fantasize about the extinction of the Condor Heroes.

At that time, you can continue to fight by eating a bowl of instant noodles, and at that time, you will feel that friends have never been so reliable, and at that time, there will always be the most important buddy who will throw a cigarette next to you, and then bite the cigarette butt and say in a cool voice, "Let's go online." ”

At that time, there may be a girl by her side, and what she likes may not be the monotonous repetition of the profession of a wet nurse, but always accustomed to the guidance of the boys around her, and accept the role assigned to her with a light smile. It caused countless people in the game to laugh and ridicule. At that time, there was the excitement of toppling the black dragon for the first time, the chills of the hands and feet of the first time to kill people and goods, the spectacular blood boiling of the first time a team of forty people fighting, and the never-fading friendship in the epic mission.

And years have passed in the blink of an eye. Arthas betrayed the Alliance, Thrall went on an expedition in a foreign land, and the warriors of Airas fought in hordes on the front lines of the Burning Legion. But the hustle and bustle of the day and night in the dormitory may have long been a thing of the past, and the people who smoked and ate instant noodles in the past have gradually laid down the following K (no longer playing games) because of work, family, and career, which is bloody but realistic, the senior who was smoked out of a hoarse voice, had a child last year, and became a struggling little clerk in the company, no one knew that his fat body was once a first-class basketball team member, and his identity in the game was the president of the hero team.

The ruthless assassin who always likes to play output roles is now working as an ordinary civil servant in a government unit, and there is no murderous aura in the game on his face, only a ball of harmony. Many people who once had a common memory and the mark of the times are like this, and they are all living beings, and the sky is different.

And the girl who will always be by her side and brush her blood with her nurse profession, and she will not feel bored and smile all the time. Years later, I may never remember her face again.

It's just a game, and Blizzard and Vivendi use it to make a lot of money and feed a lot of operators and investors. Every agent who gets the right to represent it has become a major player in the industry. Life isn't just about games, so you can't sink because of it. So one day the apk will be offline and abandoned, so one day it will be running around for the career and family.

But it's not just a game, it's also about the youth that has been lonely and gone day and night, with countless instant noodles and burnt cigarette butts stacked up. This kind of thing, like the alleys of old Beijing, the Shikumen of Shanghai, just like Coca-Cola and McDonald's, is a mark of the times.

It exists in the memory fragments of countless people in an era. So Su Can said to Qiao Shuxin, to Dustin, and to Mark Zuckerberg that he wanted to take the equity. The simplest reason is that, like Facebook, you're going to be the talk of a lot of women in the future.

For otaku like Zach and Dustin, Su Can's last sentence is very emotional.

Blizzard's vice president, Bill Robb, came to the headquarters of Facebook in Shanghai during a secret trip to China. He had just finished negotiations with Zhu Jun of Jiucheng, but the final result was not optimistic.

Bill himself is a loyal user of Facebook in the United States, and the earliest interest in Facebook was when people in the circle were talking about it, because Sean Parker, who was more famous in Silicon Valley Internet companies at that time, was in the first thing on Facebook, although the far-reaching significance behind Sean's move was to seize control for Zhanhua, but it is undeniable that Sean's settlement on Facebook still played a great role in Facebook's publicity to a certain extent. Bill learned that Facebook's Chinese company was willing to come forward to negotiate with them on equity, although Blizzard was quite strict about the conditions for selecting agents, first, it must have strong financial strength, second, a good brand reputation, third, successful game experience, and fourth, it must even have a background relationship with the Chinese government. However, as an equity transfer company in World of Warcraft, Facebook Chinese is more than enough. The most important point is that Facebook Chinese must be able to afford money.

Bill was joined by Michael, Vivendi's China manager. On the Chinese side of Facebook, it is Su Can, Qiao Linxin, and Dustin, who flew from the United States on behalf of Zack.

Michael is clearly a rather fussy man, with the pride and prejudice of the French in his bones, and he clearly doesn't care about Facebook Chinese s headquarters in China, and looks around when he arrives with Bill.

Most of the employees of Facebook Chinese have seen these people, and then look at Su Can and Qiao Shuxin who accompanied them, and they all know that this is another stroke in Su Can's decision-making. Therefore, most of them know how to concentrate more and more, read the careful extraction of the information, and the legal department has stepped up the sorting, and I don't know what kind of contract will be recorded next. The company's logistics department is very attentive to the service, entering the lounge, a few tall and beautiful girls are just right to pour coffee and tea for everyone.

Michael's gaze was swept back after a greedy glance at several girls, and only then did he seem to show a hint of satisfaction. "With all due respect, your company looks too disorganized, as if you just took a mixed underground parking lot and used it." I have also seen many large and small companies in Vivendi Global, but whether it is a large company or a small company, there is a kind of suspicion, there will be a reasonable management method in an orderly manner to let their employees do things according to the regulations, instead of the situation of headless flies flying in front of them. ,, as he spoke, his gaze stayed on the waists of several service women, "A truly intelligent customer will not lose due judgment because of your courtesy. In the same way, a company that looks good must have a rigorous work style. Su Can thought that this Frenchman was hypocritical enough, on the one hand, he expressed his professionalism and rigor, and on the other hand, the essence of his color was exposed. The arrogance when he came in also left a deep impression on Su Can, probably in his eyes, although Su Can's Facebook Chinese currently has a floor of office space, it seems to be quite cold.

This sentence can also be given back to you, there are many people who like to observe the outside, but there are very few people who can really see the essence through the phenomenon. There are certain problems with the management of the company, but that is not the main problem. We tend to keep people closer to each other, so that they can communicate their ideas at any time. Bringing together people who are full of leaks and talents, they can naturally collide with sparks, which is also the core of a company. If employees don't even like the projects they're working on, then the success rate after that is negligible. ”

Michael's eyes narrowed, staring at Su Can, probably beginning to feel that the young man in front of him did not seem to be like the Chinese he had met before when he made the investment. The right to operate, it is obviously much easier than if you took the equity at this price. ,,Blizzard's vice president Bill obviously has some appreciation for what Su Can said, and they make games with such a mentality, full of leaks. It was Su Can who said that he had a very good appetite for him.

Michael looked at him intently.

The relationship between Blizzard and its parent company, Vivendi, is not as close as it seems, and there are differences and struggles in it. For Michael, he is more concerned with profitability than the internal rules of the gaming department.

The World of Beasts is not only secretly talking about equity issues with some companies with clean backgrounds (at least not competitors), but also starting to look for agents, which can be said to have taken the lead in the battle for agency rights in China, and dozens or hundreds of divisions are gathering, all expecting to win the agency and jurisdiction of World of Warcraft, laying the foundation for the fierce competition in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that the background of Facebook Chinese and Facebook is quite clear, Blizzard's vice president Bill and Michael of Vivendi China would not have moved here.

"We currently have no plans to enter the online game industry, let alone the experience of successfully operating games, and lack a large number of talents on it," Su Can said, "So the agency is a thing, and it may be more worthwhile to buy a part of the equity." Michael's expression showed a hint of disdain, and he said, "Then this will be more than three million dollars." ”

Bill glanced at Michael and didn't say much, although Michael was on an equal footing with him, but because he was a member of the parent company, Michael couldn't help but have some eyes above the top, and the French arrogance on his body sometimes made Bill feel very dissatisfied, before coming to China again, Michael had predicted that these Chinese guys would not be able to come up with so much money. He still has some bureaucratic thinking in his bones, and he has a strong sense of superiority in working at Vivendi Global.

"I think you have to make an offer first, and then we'll talk about it in more detail, right? Su Can said.

Michael and Bill bowed their heads and discussed with each other for a moment before saying, "We can only say a temporary price, which is expected to sell thirty percent of the shares of World of Warcraft, thirty million shares." They will pay $27 million for this. If you are sure, we will conduct further negotiations internally, and the actual sale price will be notified to you in three days. ”

"Two million dollars!?" Qiao Shuxin and Dustin's eyelids jumped, this price exceeded Facebook, and even Su Can's Facebook Chinese all the existing wealth combined, which was astronomical for them. It's no wonder that many people don't touch it at all. This is a hot potato, not to mention that no one knows whether it will be profitable in the future.

Su Can nodded and said, "I know, I hope you will come up with a final pricing plan as soon as possible." A week after Michael and Bill left China, the two returned to Shanghai, this time bringing back a real plan to sell the game, with Blizzard giving up 30 percent of Warcraft for $2 and $5 million in research and development funding. As the equity transferee, Facebook Chinese will divide the $27 million into three tranches, the last of which will be in place on February 14 next year.

How to raise $25 million in funds during this period of time is an impact and challenge for Su Can's entire industry.

There is still a long way to go, but it is close to the dawn of entering the top 40 and 30.
