The town of Irvine in Orange County is beautiful and has a great climate. You don't feel the cold wind here, as if this is not the West Coast of the United States.

But in fact, the town of Irvine is only 40 kilometers from Los Angeles. But it is this distance that makes the climate of the two places very different.

From the outside, Blizzard's headquarters does not look like a shijie-level big company, and several buildings with up to five floors look so unremarkable.

The only thing that catches the eye is the wide square and the ubiquitous plants. For those who don't know, they think that this is a natural park, not a technology-based company related to the IT industry.

Although Blizzard is still in the growth stage, it can be seen that they attach great importance to the construction of corporate culture.

Stroll through the company's courtyard and you'll find lifelike character sculptures and a wide variety of game-themed creations. It not only makes people curious and yearning, but also clarifies the purpose of the company.

While watching, Cui Zhengyuan secretly paid attention.

It has been more than two years since the establishment of A.P Company, and although the capital and scale have been growing rapidly, there is no foundation to speak of.

It's time to build your own corporate culture, not only to showcase your company's identity, but also to unite people and create a great working atmosphere. In the long run, it is also an effective means of transforming into productivity.

"Brother, I see, we have a lot to do." Choi Jung-won was watching dizzily while discussing with Jung Sung-hye in Korean.

There was no way, Mohan was with him, and he couldn't tell anyone everything in English.

Zheng Xinghuai had already been dazzled, and said with emotion: "Yes, this is the image that a competitive enterprise should have." In the past, we sat in Korea and thought that A.P was a very good company. Now it seems that we are far from it. Even a game company that has been established for a few years has reached this level, but what will happen to those top companies that have been around for a hundred years? ”

"It doesn't matter. What we have is time to make up for it. From now on, one day, A.P will have such a spirit. Cui Zhengyuan looked very optimistic and said with a smile.

Where it is not as good as others, it is enough to study with a boring head. There is no shortcut to this, even if it is a gourd, you have to start from the most basic form.

"Mohan, I have to say, you are really a genius in running a business. I'm tempting to ask you to come back and help me manage the entertainment company. Cui Zhengyuan praised Mike without hesitation. Mohan's achievements.

"Haha, Lance. You're going to be disappointed. I don't know anything about the entertainment industry, but I'm not as handy as gaming. Besides, the company's good operation is mainly due to my friend's credit. Introduction, this is our Blizzard Vice President Aaron. Adhan. The company was able to produce so many classic games, which is all due to him. Mohan proudly introduced the soul of Blizzard's game industry to Cui Zhengyuan.

For this, Cui Zhengyuan can also be regarded as thunderous.

Alan. Adham and programmer Frank. Pierce is the two major guarantees for Blizzard to produce high-quality games.

It was in their hands that many world-renowned games such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Warcraft, and Diablo were born.

"Aaron. Nice to meet you. In my opinion, you are a genius in the field of gaming. Cui Zhengyuan complimented.

Alan. The typical character of some IT practitioners in Yadehan is very quiet. For Cui Zhengyuan's appreciation, he tried to return a smile. "Xiexie, your reputation. I'll keep trying. ”

This is not the first time Cui Zhengyuan has seen Jishu personnel, and he has a certain understanding of this kind of person's temperament, so he doesn't care. Instead, he turned to Mohan, "Dear Mohan. Won't you give me a good tour? I'm curious. ”

"It's not a visit, it's an inspection, you're the damn boss." Mohaha smiled. Funny.

"Okay, damn Mohan, are you going to let your boss blow the cold wind here?" Cui Zhengyuan was also not to be outdone, showing the aura of the boss.

Amidst laughter, a group of people began their journey to Blizzard's headquarters.

Cui Zhengyuan looked very carefully, and he didn't miss the corners.

On the one hand, it is to evaluate the investor's own investment, and on the other hand, it is also to learn advanced business management experience.

In his opinion, whether it is a game company or an entertainment company, there are similarities in the operation of enterprises. Learning from others' haode and advanced experience can help improve one's own strength.

Here, he met the famous Warcraft Shijie development team, as well as a demonstration of the world-famous 3D engine.

The 3D engine, in particular, is the biggest reliance on Blizzard's competitiveness. It is by virtue of it that "Warcraft Shijie" can be turned from theory to reality.

And in this life, because of Cui Zhengyuan's relationship, this money-burning thing did not increase the burden on Blizzard, but on the contrary, it also created a lot of benefits.

Some time ago, Spielberg's "The Day After Tomorrow" was imported from Blizzard for special effects.

This is all the result of Cui Zhengyuan's recommendation.

At first, Spielberg was a little skeptical, thinking that it was unrealistic for a game company's Jishu to support a stunt blockbuster.

But after watching the demo, he realized how wrong he was.

Blizzard's ability in computer special effects, not to mention the DreamWorks team, is not necessarily an opponent of Industrial Light and Magic.

Facing Spielberg's surprised gaze, Cui Zhengyuan appeared extraordinarily reserved.

Sample, does this scare you? Have you ever seen how shocked the whole Shijie people are after the appearance of "Warcraft Shijie" two years ago?

What are the special effects of the movie, Blizzard has created an independent and complete shijie space.

This cannot help but include a variety of topography, landforms, climatic conditions, as well as a series of norms such as human history, ethics and morality.

Compared with the grandeur and vastness of "Warcraft Shijie", a movie is nothing.

The first time he learned about the principle of the 3D engine, Cui Zhengyuan still thought it was amazing. I can't imagine that the scientific and technological achievements of mankind can be advanced to such a level.

It's no wonder that Blizzard has always been the boss of the shijie game industry and has been prosperous for a long time, even if the glory of "Warcraft Shijie" is no longer there, no one can surpass it.

The root cause of this lies in these advanced technologies. As long as they stay ahead of the curve in this regard, then Blizzard will be in an invincible position.

After the superficial procedures were completed, Cui Zhengyuan motioned to Mo Han to dismiss the others. Back in his office.

After instructing the secretary not to let outsiders in, Mohan said with the joy of guessing: "I knew that you must have something else to do when you came here in person, otherwise you would have shirked something after inviting you so many times before." ”

Cui Zhengyuan was embarrassed and looked very embarrassed.

In all fairness, Mohan is a very affectionate person.

After Blizzard was brought under his banner, Mohan called him several times to invite him to come and check it out.

After all, it is now a company owned by others, and Mohan always wants to make a good impression on his boss and be responsible for other people's investments.

I don't know that Cui Zhengyuan has 100% trust in his ability, and he has never been here once.

On the one hand, it is indeed Cui Zhengyuan who is very busy. Can't spare time; On the other hand, he also felt that he had never been involved in the game industry and should not meddle in the operation of professionals, so he had always delegated power to Mohan and others to act boldly.

Although he is the largest shareholder of Blizzard, Cui Zhengyuan's subconscious has always regarded this as just an investment, and he has never had the idea of "this is my company" in his mind.

It wasn't until today that Mohan complained to his face that he knew he was wrong. Hurriedly remedied: "I'm sorry, Mohan, I didn't expect this to cause you trouble. I offer you daoqian. If there is anything difficult to decide in the future, you can report it to me directly. ”

Hearing his words, Mohan let out a sigh of relief.

Unlike the Easterners, who like to be the emperor of the soil, the Westerners' spirit of contract is deeply rooted.

In Mohan's thinking power. This company belongs to Cui Zhengyuan. Whatever he does, he is responsible for the investors.

So once I encounter a major event that is difficult to decide, I always want to report to Cui Zhengyuan, so that even if there is any loss. There is no need for him, the supervisor, to bear it.

Cui Zhengyuan's words are equivalent to taking the responsibility over. Then the pressure on Mo Han's head is much less, and there are no worries.

"Let's talk about it. Are you here today for something important? Having solved the problem of rights and responsibilities, Mohan began to care about Cui Zhengyuan's intentions.

When the words came to his lips, Cui Zhengyuan hesitated.

After all, what he wants to do this time is a selfish thing, and I don't know what Mohan will think of him once he says it? Will it cause this capable man to turn away from him?

Wouldn't it be worth the loss if in order to pit Sony and cause the people who could bring Blizzard to glory away?

But apart from Mohan, he really couldn't find any other way to contact the hacker group.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hit Sony, and if you miss it, you may only be able to maintain an undefeated situation with this opponent for the rest of your life, and you must always be on guard against being bitten hard by Masaya Tachimi.

Cui Zhengyuan has already regarded this incident as the key to reversing and immediately seeing the offensive and defensive trend of Zhengya, and what the situation is today, perhaps it is from here that it is a watershed.

Gritting his teeth, Cui Zhengyuan decided to tell the truth. "Mohan, I need your help, can you help me find a hacker organization that is strong, honest and reliable?"

As expected, Mohan asked in surprise and inexplicably, "Lance, what are you looking for a hacker organization?" Do you need hacker groups to engage in the entertainment industry? ”

"No, no, no, it's not entertainment, it's about doing it to an enemy. Does Sony know? Cui Zhengyuan felt that his breathing was a little faster, and the part of his earlobe was wet and full of sweat.

"Of course I do, I would love to bury it with my own hands." What made Cui Zhengyuan even more unexpected was that when he mentioned Sony, Mo Han actually looked hideous, a terrifying appearance of choosing people to eat.

Without knowing why, he asked Mohan about his doubts.

After receiving the answer, he couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't acted rashly, but had come here.

It turned out that Mohan hated Sony so much, not because of any personal enmity between them, but because of market disputes.

Since the release of StarCraft and Warcraft, Blizzard's share of the Shijie game market has reached new highs year by year. In particular, the Asian region, which has a rapidly developing economy, has benefited them a lot.

But in Japan, the most economically developed country in Asia, Blizzard suffered an embarrassment.

It's home to Sony and Nintendo, and after decades of careful cultivation, it's become a haven for handheld gaming.

The result is that there is hardly much market for PC games here.

Blizzard racked its brains and made countless schemes, but it was impossible to break through the blockade of Sony and Nintendo.

The annual sales in the Japanese game market are not as good as those in the Chinese game market, where piracy is rampant. It would be strange if Mohan had no complaints about Sony.

Hearing that Choi Jung-won was going to deal with Sony, he was more active than anyone else. patted his chest and promised, "Lance, leave this matter to me." Don't come forward, after all, once someone catches the handle, it will be bad for your reputation. Anyway, we Blizzard and Sony don't get along, so it's only natural to do it. Contact the hacker group, I'll do it. ”

Unexpectedly, he could get an unexpected joy, and Cui Zhengyuan also smiled. "Then I'll trouble you, Mohan."

Mo Han didn't have any enthusiasm, so he didn't care about shouting and killing, but asked worriedly: "Lance, what do you want the hacker group to do?" If you want to hack Sony's official website, I'm afraid it won't play any other role than disgusting people, right? ”

"Am I that boring? Listen to me. Cui Zhengyuan smiled confidently and began to reveal all his jihua.

When Mohan listened to Cui Zhengyuan's account that Sony was about to launch a new generation of handheld game consoles, his face became extremely dignified.

From the appearance of Masaya Ritsumi in Silicon Valley, you can see how important this new product is.

Once Sony is successfully launched, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for Blizzard to enter the Japanese market.

And when he learned that Cui Zhengyuan had "learned" that this new product had a fatal vulnerability and wanted to rely on hacker organizations to crack it, his eyes were almost out of laughter.

It's all about jishu, and he knows too well what kind of disaster it will bring to Sony once it is made by Cui Zhengyuan.

Even if Zuihou Sony fills the loophole, the cost will be considerable.

This also compresses Sony's profit margins in disguise, which is equivalent to weakening their strength.

And when Cui Zhengyuan said that this product has more than one vulnerability, and they can repeatedly exploit these vulnerabilities to make trouble for Sony, Mohan's eyes have begun to become terrified.

Blizzard is getting stronger day by day and has begun to have its own core jishu. So in terms of security, a tight system has been formed.

Not to mention Sony, which is much larger than Blizzard, and even a superpower like the United States may not be able to obtain classified information.

But the young man in front of him was able to obtain so much top-secret information in one go.

Is he really just an entertainment company executive? How powerful is Liliang in his hands?

But this is not Mohan's concern, he just needs to know that with these conditions, it can completely make Sony want to die, and he will be secretly happy.

When Choi Jung-won took out the specifications of the XBOX360 being developed by Microsoft and the jishu specifications of the WII developed by Nintendo, and explained the purpose, his smile could not be stopped.

This oriental boy is really bad, with a multi-pronged approach, Sony is estimated to have lost his wife and broken his soldiers this time. Whether it can gain a foothold in the game console market is debatable.

"I'll leave it all to me, Lance. You can rest assured that you will be your big star, these have nothing to do with you. Flicking the information in his hand, Mo Han smiled very treacherously.

He had reason to laugh unscrupulously, because he seemed to have seen Sony's chickens and dogs jumping. (To be continued......)
