Blizzard.

When the ice frog came to Blizzard according to Zhang Ning's instructions, the two founders of Blizzard, Mohan and Bobby, met him in person. And, without waiting for Ice Frog to speak, Blizzard directly proposed that they would implant the Dota map in all versions of Tyrant 3. And, in order to show Blizzard's sincerity, Blizzard offered a price of $10 million.

When returning with a check for $10 million, the ice frog felt a little dreaming.

This dream is so beautiful.

It's so good that he not only completed what Zhang Ning said about going to Warcraft to promote Dota.

Even better, he also received a windfall.

$10 million.

Ice frogs have never seen so much money in their lives.

Looking at the countless zeros behind the word 1, the ice frog licked his lips.

It's just that the ice frog suppressed the desire in his heart.

He landed on MSN and hoped to meet Zhang Ning again.

This time, Ice Frog wanted to see Zhang Ning's attitude very resolutely, and also said that if he didn't see it, he would never update Dota again.

Looking at the information above, Zhang Ning said with a smile.

Recently, Blizzard implanted Dota into the news of Warcraft, and Zhang Ning also watched it.

And, according to rumors, Blizzard also gave Dota a map maker Zuò human ice frog $10 million.

This ice frog is so anxious to see himself at this time, it is clear that he is embarrassed to take this money for nothing.

"This ice frog is quite simple."

This made Zhang Ning not surprised to think of the future generations.

Before the launch of Dota, Ice Frog was not the only one in charge.

Among them, there are two other people who are responsible for the update of Dota.

It's just that, with the continuous development of Dota, the other two people left directly because of the uneven distribution of benefits, and the other started the Dota private server. In the end, a rotten beach was left for the ice frog. If it weren't for Ice Frog continuing to solve a series of bugs in Dota and continuing to update the version, I'm afraid Dota would have died long ago.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ning nodded in agreement.

Dota has been implanted in the Warcraft game, so it won't be long before Dota becomes popular all over the world.

Then, at this time, it is convenient to meet with the ice frog.

"No problem, Ice Frog, we'll meet at the Water Cloud Dream Cafe in New York."

"New York Shuiyun Meng, are you in the United States?"

"Well, it should be."

"Why didn't you meet me before that?"

"I can't say this for the time being, but you'll know when the time comes."

"Mysterious."

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to surprise me before, and we'll see you later."

"Of course."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After the call with the ice frog, Zhang Ning went to the Shuiyunmeng Cafe first.

It's just that it's been a while, and Zhang Ning hasn't seen the ice frog.

But there was a beautiful woman in front of her, and it was a yellow-skinned beauty, who had been sitting there drinking coffee.

Zhang Ning didn't know if this beauty was Chinese or Japanese, and she didn't speak.

When this beauty saw Zhang Ning, she was also a little surprised, but then she was also drinking coffee alone.

Sad, forgot to ask the phone number of the ice frog.

Now it's in vain.

Zhang Ning scolded himself secretly, but there is no way now, he can't go back.

Just when Zhang Ning was almost waiting to fall asleep, the beautiful woman on the side stood up.

"Are you Zhang Ning?"

"You are?"

Zhang Ning is the richest man in the world, and it is normal for others to recognize Zhang Ning.

However, Zhang Ning didn't know this beauty.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes, alas, my friend never came."

"Yes, I was waiting for a friend, but he also released my pigeons."

"Haha."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but be happy.

He said what's going on, this beautiful woman has been sitting there just now.

It turned out that both of them were released by someone else.

"It seems that we are really fated, sit down, I invite you to have a drink."

"Thank you. I didn't expect the richest man in the world to be such a gentleman. ”

"You're welcome."

Zhang Ning smiled, "You are also one of the few friends who see me without any expression." ”

"Haha."

The beauty was happy, "I want to see you and fall down, but the problem is, I'm afraid you'll not be interested in seeing such a person." ”

"Come on, let me introduce myself, my name is Yun Bing, and I am very happy to meet our world's richest man, Mr. Zhang Ning, here."

This time, the beauty was in Chinese.

"Ah, you're Chinese."

Zhang Ning was slightly surprised, "I'm also very happy to meet friends from my hometown in New York State. ”

"By the way, are you here to study, or are you ......?"

"I've been here since I was born."

"Strange, then how can you be so fluent in Chinese."

"There's no way, my parents have forced me to learn since I was a child."

Yun Bing smiled bitterly.

"Learning Chinese at that time was really a painful thing. Fortunately, after studying, I became interested in China. In particular, China is developing very fast now, and I would love to visit it if I have the opportunity. Well, I'm sorry, I said that China didn't say domestic, you won't be disgusted. ”

"Of course not."

Zhang Ning didn't care.

For Chinese Americans like this, in fact, their thinking is already the same as that of Americans.

They can't have the kind of national feelings that people at home have.

Of course, it's no different.

Zhang Ning is not an angry youth, and he will not ask that as long as he is Chinese, whether he is Chinese or not, he wants him to be as patriotic as the Chinese people.

In fact, Zhang Ning also felt that it was useless to talk about patriotism, especially for ordinary people.

Ordinary people live their own small lives, and leave things that are not patriotic to others to do.

Of course, it's okay to be unpatriotic, but you can't damage the country either.

"I don't have that narrow national mind."

"That's good."

Yun Bing smiled slowly, "By the way, who are you waiting for, there are still people who release your pigeons." ”

"Hehe, why can't someone else release my pigeons, aren't you being released by others?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, you're the richest man in the world, if it were me, I would have come half an hour earlier."

"Is that an exaggeration, I think, if I were waiting for you, you would never be. However, I also wonder how a beautiful woman like you can be released by people like me. I think that the charm of the richest man in the world is not necessarily more useful than that of beautiful women sometimes, you say. ”

"Haha, looks like you're right. However, the man didn't know that I was a beauty. ”

"I don't know you're a beauty, what do you say?"

"The man hasn't seen me."

"Khan ......"

Zhang Ning burst into tears.

"I have to say, we really have a fate, I haven't seen him either."

"Ah......h

Yun Bingda was surprised, "No, how can it be so coincidental?" ”

"Zhang ......"

"Zhang Ning."

Looking at Zhang Ning, Yun Bing seemed to have something in mind.

Isn't the person who contacted him also surnamed Zhang?

Don't......

"Mr. Zhang Ning, I don't know, are you waiting for a friend named Ice Frog."

"That's right."

Zhang Ning was stunned, "How do you know." ”

When he saw Yun Bing looking at himself with a smile, Zhang Ning suddenly realized.

"Don't sue me, you're an ice frog."

"No......"

"What wouldn't."

As soon as the two met, they finally found out.

It turned out that the two of them had come a long time ago, but they didn't know each other all the time.

Or even if the ice frog knew Zhang Ning, but at that time, she couldn't believe that Zhang Ning was the one who asked him out.

Of course, Zhang Ning also couldn't believe that the ice frog he met was actually a woman.

"Aren't you a man?"

"Who told you I'm a man?"

"Didn't I call you Mr. Ice Frog, you didn't object, did you?"

"But I didn't admit that it was good or not."

"Okay, you win."

Zhang Ning didn't care, "I really can't think of it, you are the developer of Dota, I always thought it was a man." ”

Most of the games are played by men, not to mention those who develop games, and more than 90% of them are also men.

No wonder, it was rumored in later generations that the ice frog was a beauty.

couldn't help but think of the specific identity of the ice frog in later generations.

After the popularity of Dota in later generations, many people were very interested in ice frogs.

It's just that the ice frog has never shown its face, and no one has ever seen an ice frog.

Although the head of the ice frog has been hung with an image of a beautiful woman.

However, many people do not believe that the ice frog will be female.

But now, Zhang Ning personally confirmed it.

Ice frogs are indeed female.

Not only is she a woman, she is also a Chinese woman, and she is also a Chinese beauty.

"I understand now, that's what you call a surprise."

Zhang Ning was greatly moved.

After the identities of the two were clarified, the two then talked about business.

Zhang ...... Zhang Ning. ”

"Can I just call you by name?"

"Of course, I don't look like an approachable person?"

"No, you have the call sign of the world's richest man, there are some. Still, you're pretty gentle. ”

As he spoke, Ice Frog pulled out a check.

"Zhang Ning, this is a check for $10 million given to me by Blizzard."

"10 million isn't a lot, and Dota is just a small amount for their Warcraft push. However, forget it, don't bother with them. Anyway, although Dota has helped Warcraft, Warcraft has also popularized Dota, so let's help each other. However, what are you doing with the 10 million check? ”

"You know, although I developed DOTA, in fact, I was not the main planner in it. I did what you said, just wrote the code. $10 million, I deserve it. ”

Yun Bing said with some embarrassment.

"Sure enough."

As he thought, Yun Bing was really a simple person.

Don't put 10 million, it's really not something anyone can do.

However, how could Zhang Ning ask for the 10 million, and directly handed the $10 million check back to Yun Bing, "Yun Bing, Dota was developed by you, then, $10 million, he is yours." I'm just mentioning some small buildings. ”

"No, no, your construction is too important, I'm just a start. Otherwise, I'll take 1 million, and give you the remaining 9 million. ”

Seeing Zhang Ning hand over the check, Yun Bing handed the check back, afraid that Zhang Ning would refuse again, so he said, "Zhang Ning, in fact, $1 million is already an astronomical amount for me, and I am already very happy to be able to get $1 million." ”

"No, I can't. The beginning means that Dota is yours to develop. And, as you said, with the money I'm making right now, $10 million is a number, and he's of no use to me at all. On the contrary, you can take 10 million and do a lot of what you want to do. ”

"No......"

The two of them just handed the check back and handed it over.

"Okay, don't push each other, if you continue to pull it around like this, this check will be rotten."

Seeing that Yun Bing still disagreed, Zhang Ning said directly, "You don't agree either, and I don't agree either." Why don't we use the $10 million as the start-up capital for our new company, what do you think? ”
