After watching the concert patiently, the pleasing performance made Li Mo selectively forget some troubles. After the performance, he came to the VIP seat to watch with Li Mo, and he didn't show any strange behavior.

As if as before, he was laughing and playing with Li Mo.

I thought I could face it calmly, but I found that my heart was a little blocked. So Cui Xueli was very unfortunate and became Li Mo's target of venting. Calling Kim Young-min to make a small report is more like a vexatious catharsis.

Li Mo was a little scared, so he had no choice but to focus on his work, but it had a good effect.

Continuing its own path of brutal expansion, following the Korean, Japanese, and English versions, it continued to launch Russian, French, German, Italian and other versions, rapidly expanding to more than 50 countries. Although the download ranking is not as good as that of some old social software, the upward momentum is fierce.

In half a month, the number of global downloads reached more than 6 million, the daily active users were close to 4.5 million, and the number of photos sent and received exceeded 100 million. The increasing pressure on the server was only relieved after Li Mo's $5 million capital injection.

But the days ahead are the real challenges.

There is no shortage of follow-up and imitation. Many image sharing software have launched their own art filter functions. The only difference is that these hastily launched features are not comparable to those at all. Among them, Haas's algorithm has played a great role, and Li Mo has asked Philip to draft an agreement and take out 10% of the studio's shares to envelop Haas.

Since he has to use his work to make himself forget some things, Li Mo can't just focus on development. Anyway, the current influence is still limited, and a big brother like this probably doesn't care much.

The big waves are sweeping the sand, are there still fewer apps that suddenly become popular every year? Not many survived, and more were acquired and merged by large companies. The capital market is the process of big fish eating small fish, and to attract attention, at least to become a relatively strong small fish.

It's very different from the studio.

Launching three mobile games in two years is not much for a game studio, but all of them are high-quality without exception.

The famous work "Candy War", the game type is supplemented, the popular "Temple Run", and the masterpiece "Island Raid".

Among them, "Candy Wars" has been online for nearly a year, and it is still in the top 10 in the best-selling list in more than 50 countries, with a very considerable monthly income, and it is still in the early part of a million dollars.

This game alone brought Li Mo an income of 200 million US dollars a year, and this is the result after deducting the share.

"Temple Run" was tepid, but it was also a small profit, and the net profit of more than $40 million has left many game studios in the dust.

Finally, I have to mention "Island Raiders" developed together. The half-brother of "Clash of Clans", the two games have occupied the first and second places in the charts for a long time, and "Clash of Clans" still firmly occupies the first position because of SoftBank and natural geographical advantages.

"Boom Island" is slightly behind in popularity, but the gap is not as big as imagined.

Because he only owns % of the shares, Li Mo can get not much dividends from "Clash of Clans", 72 million. "Island Raiders" is a little more, which is worth more than 100 million. However, over time, this is a trickle of income, and for at least three years, these two games can generate close to $200 million in revenue for Li Mo every year.

dy studio.

Earn money, and the office location is naturally changed for shotguns. From more than 10 people crowded into more than 100 square meters to the 20th floor of a newly built commercial building less than three years old, the entire floor has been transformed into a studio office. There are kitchens, play equipment, etc., so that employees can relax after excessive mental activity.

The studio CEO is Zach Becky, and the technical director, Todd Ellen.

In the room that was temporarily opened as a conference room, Yoshio Tomita, the head of the Japanese side, Douglas on the Japanese side, and Christian on the European side.

It was only opened this year at the suggestion of Philip, mainly communicating with local agents and being responsible for market research and advertising.

Zach Becky coughed, and the Nordic man, who has gradually transformed from a technician to a manager, is quite majestic, "We are rarely gathered in Seoul today, mainly for three things. ”

"First, in the next three months, the contact points in Japan, the United States and Europe will be upgraded to branches, which is related to the future development of the studio, and I hope you will pay attention. BOSS has pledged to give 10% of the studio's shares for equity incentives, and employees who perform well will be rewarded. ”

There was a burst of joyful discussion in the conference room. looked at Li Mo, who was sitting quietly on the side, and his eyes were extremely hot.

Li Mo also smiled and nodded.

Zach Becky raised his hand to calm the excited crowd and continued, "Number two, it's about the future of the studio. DY Studios will set up a large-scale game department to focus on developing single-player, console, and online games. ”

Without waiting for everyone to recover, Zach Becky continued, "Third, our studio will enter the live video industry. ”

The successive announcements of news shocked these people dizzy. The first one is okay, because of the increase in business, it is also natural to expand to the branch. But setting up a large gaming department and entering the live video streaming industry will cost you money in either case, and there is no guarantee that it will succeed. In case of failure, the large amount of cash that Li Mo earned through the three games may all be trapped in it.

For a moment no one expressed an opinion, and the atmosphere was silent.

The grinning Todd Ellen scolded impatiently, "The boss doesn't worry about investment failure, you guys are worried about fart?" It's better to make suggestions and do the work you should do, this is what the boss wants to see! ”

"Damn Todd, we're all cowards when you say were!" Douglas on the U.S. side reacted first, and Bullseye glared at Todd Allen without showing weakness.

"Hehe, who knows, do you have the ability to PK with me?" Todd Ellen grinned, his shaggy beard looking a little intimidating. Although Douglas is tall and big, he weighs his combat power and compares it with Todd, who is said to be a Viking pirate.

However, after the two of them interrupted, the atmosphere in the conference room changed. Because Todd has a point, as an employee, he is afraid of the decisions made by the big boss, and it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Finally, it was more expensive to build a large gaming division and build a video site from scratch, so it was better to move on to acquiring established studios and websites.

The direction of development was thus set, and there was not much work that Li Mo was responsible for, that is, he spent money hard. Money is the best way to make money, and it is pure foolishness to put a large sum of money in the bank now.

However, when Li Mo didn't have time to spend money, someone came to deliver money to him!
