Chapter XXVII
Connected to Skype, Alanson Doyle's face appears on the computer screen.
It seems that the hairline is quite a bit higher......
"Sue, what the hell is this?" Alanson couldn't wait to speak, without any pleasantries.
"Don't get excited, Alanson, as you can see, it's just a game engine." Su Li pressed his hand and signaled to Alanson not to get excited.
However, Alanson did not have the slightest sense of calmness at this time, he said loudly: "Just an engine? Oh my god, this thing is at least a decade ahead of the industry, Unreal 4, Frost 3, these things are rubbish in front of it, how the hell did you get this thing? ”
Unreal Engine 4 is now one of the most well-known commercial game engines and is widely used. Frost is a game engine developed by DICE for the famous game IP "Battlefield" series, and now it is also applied to other games, but it has not been licensed to other companies on a large scale.
Although these are the mainstream engines now, they are powerful, but there is no harm without comparison, and in front of Oasis, these engines are simply rudimentary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rubbish.
"I said I developed it, do you believe it?" Su Li said with a smile.
"Oh, Sue, while I'll admit you're a genius, engine development and game design are two completely different fields, don't kid me." Alanson calmed down a little and said.
"Well, Aranson, before answering your question, how about you rate this engine?" Su Li didn't answer his question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Perfect, incomparable, a masterpiece of genius, the key to a new era."
Aranson Doyle's expression became agitated again, and he was a little incoherent.
"Sue, I'm sure you understand that this thing is at least a decade ahead of the current engines in the industry...... No, at least twenty years, it's something that doesn't belong to this era at all. Although many of the features seem to be imperfect, the current level of completion can throw all the engines on the market into the garbage. ”
"A new development language, a completely different idea of optimization algorithms, my God, did the author of this engine invent a new computer language? Which lab is the result of this and why is it in your hands, the value of this thing is immeasurable. ”
Su Li listened to Alanson's evaluation and said, "Alanson, it's not the result of any laboratory, and now the ownership of this thing is in my hands." ”
Alanson then asked, "Whose result is that?" ”
"You can call him codename L, my partner, a true technical genius, a genius who can change the world." Su Li said slowly.
Alanson was a little incredulous: "Then why haven't you heard of this person, such a person can't be unknown." ”
Su Li calmly explained: "He has a severe social phobia, never sees people, and doesn't care about fame and fortune at all. You know Alanson, there are always geniuses and weirdos in this world that are beyond our imagination, and their world is completely different from ours. ”
Alanson hesitated and said, "I want to communicate with him, this result is crazy and will shock the world." ”
Su Li continued: "I said, L has never seen anyone, but you can communicate with him on the Internet, if you can join the gang. ”
Alanson was stunned.
L is an advanced artificial intelligence provided by the system, the author of the fictional Oasis engine, which is fully capable of communicating with people without barriers. Relying on the power of the system, no one or institution in this world has traced the location of L.
As for why he didn't say that he was the author of the engine, Su Li had a few considerations. First of all, my educational research experience has not been involved in the field of computer languages and graphics. Without systematic and in-depth study and research, it will certainly not be possible to achieve anything in this area.
Secondly, the focus of Su Li's future work will definitely be on game design and development, but the rewards provided by the system include various rewards for engine upgrades, enhancement modules and other technical upgrades. If you come up with these things without doing your own research, it will definitely make people suspicious.
It's better to just throw these to a fictitious artificial intelligence to reduce your own trouble.
Su Li stared at Alanson, his expression struggling a little.
For anyone, crossing the ocean to work on the other side of the globe with an uncertain future is a difficult thing to decide.
Su Li persuaded and said: "Alanson, I know that letting you leave your current position will make you worry, but you have also seen that the key to the future has appeared in front of our eyes, it can not only change the game industry, but even change the world, isn't it our dream?" ”
Alanson hesitated for a moment and asked, "What am I responsible for, and how many people are on the team?" ”
Su Li replied: "The first team is only 4 people, you know, I don't have enough money in my hands, and the team will expand after the first project is over." We are short on manpower, and in the first project you have to be involved in all the work of game development, digging into the various features of the engine, and you are an expert in this area. ”
"L has limited energy and doesn't like to communicate with people. As the team expands, you will lead the technical part of the engine research and development, and L will work with the technical team as a special advisor. He's already set the stage for us, and it's our turn to decorate the stage and start the show. ”
Alanson was already clearly moved, and his sensitivity to the value of technology allowed him to know the value of the technology in Su Li's hands. If it is released, it will definitely attract a lot of investment.
But Su Li doesn't want to do this now, with Alanson's understanding of Su Li, he will definitely not let business capital control him, in fact, they are all the same kind of people. Alanson himself is obsessed with technology, while Su Li is obsessed with game design.
Alanson sat in his chair, thought for a moment, and instead of agreeing immediately, he asked, "Then what kind of price do you offer me?" ”
Su Li thought for a while, and then gave an offer: "You know, I can't afford to give AE the salary I gave you now, but I can't give you the shares of the co-founder, this stage was built by L, and this position belongs to him." ”
"If you only get a nominal salary of $1, I can see you as a partner. You will be given shares according to the standard of an external CEO in Silicon Valley, 6%, which will be cashed out over four years, and will be bought back by the company if you leave the company. This stake does not occupy the company's reserved option pool, but requires delegated voting rights. ”
Su Li gave his own price, and Alanson was the most suitable collaborator he could find right now, not only because he was familiar with him, but also because of the rating the system gave him.
【91】
exceeded 90 points, which gave Su Li a new understanding of Alanson's ability. Although the system provides the main body and technical upgrades of the Oasis engine, the excellent technical development team can not only speed up the engine upgrade, but also adjust the engine to the specified game project to play a more powerful role.
Su Li is not a greedy person, as long as he can guarantee his Jedi control of the company, he doesn't care about sharing his gains, especially a genius technician who is of great help to him.
In business, only by clearly dividing interests at the beginning can we ensure the good development of the company, and also help to maintain the feelings of both parties and not be hurt by subsequent interest issues.
"Deal."
Aranson Doyle made his decision, saying, "My affairs here will take a month to deal with, and then you will be my boss. ”
After making the decision, Alanson looked quite excited and said, "Boss, we can definitely change the world, I think now can you let me communicate with L, he is simply God." ”
