After staying for almost half a month, in addition to the MOD about 'Minecraft' on the shelves of the Creative Workshop, Zhao Hao and Gabe Newell also visited Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, which is also near Seattle.

Although he didn't meet Bill Gates, Zhao Hao finally saw what it means to be a technology company, but the two sides didn't talk about anything.

Although Microsoft has XBOX360 and a subsidiary that also has game development, it has little to do with Zhao Hao, or Zhao Hao does not have any capital to take a fancy to the other party.

Even if Zhao Hao has now made a game that can be regarded as a masterpiece.

But compared to the behemoth of Microsoft, it is still weak and pitiful.

Preparing to return to China from Seattle Airport, this time it was not only Liu Dong and Li Hua, but also four employees from Valve who followed Zhao Hao back to China, one of whom was James who led the way at the beginning.

Hiring these four people is not such a simple matter.

First of all, they only work eight hours a day, and after eight hours, the time is at their own disposal, and they have a salary of 12,000 US dollars a month, and Zhao Hao is responsible for their food and housing.

This is not a small amount, at least in Zhao Hao's studio, even Li Hua and Liu Dong, who have the highest salaries, cannot be compared with them.

However, they have no opinion, after all, they get a penny for a skill, and James's skills are indeed much better than theirs.

But the same Liu Dong and the other veteran employees who are in charge of the 'Minecraft' project also have a trace of urgency and pressure in their hearts.

It is because of the high-quality mods made by players that you can enter the workshop and sell them on your own official website.

That means that although the DLC they developed can be regarded as official.

And with this layer of aura, coupled with its own good resources, it can be said that as long as it is not too bad, someone will definitely buy it, and it is estimated that the sales will not be too bad.

But there is a limit to this reputation and feelings, not to mention whether it will pass the review if it is bad, but the trust of players will be consumed, and no one will buy the DLC they will make in the future, so the DLC that Zhao Hao once promised is divided into golden jobs, which can be said to be completely lost, especially after witnessing the popularity of this game.

Boutique, it must be boutique, and it must be more interesting and fun than those mods developed by players.

When Zhao Hao got off the plane with everyone, Zhao Hao was suddenly surprised to find that there were many reporters at the pick-up gate at the airport.

However, most of them are online media reporters like Tencent.

Seeing Zhao Hao and his party coming out of the machine, the group of people immediately swarmed over and surrounded Zhao Hao and his party.

Seeing this scene, the passengers on the side also knew what kind of public figure Zhao Hao might be, and they couldn't help but stop and watch curiously.

The security guards have arrived, but for the time being, there are only two security guards in this area, and there is still nothing they can do in the face of a group of reporters.

Before the security team came, those reporters hurriedly asked questions to Zhao Hao.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, did you go to Valve this time to reach any cooperation agreement with Valve?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhao has a rumor that Space Gate Studio has been acquired by a foreign game company, is this news true?"

"Mr. Zhao, is this lady your girlfriend?"

……

In a clump, Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hand.

"Please be quiet." The words containing divine power spit out from Zhao Hao's mouth.

Everyone only felt a tightness in their hearts, as if the students had heard the instructions of the class teacher, they couldn't help but calm down, and at the same time looked at Zhao Hao, with some excitement in their eyes.

In fact, Zhao Hao could have kept silent about these reporters' questions and waited until the airport security came to drive them away.

And most of those reporters are also betting on luck for such interviews, hoping to get a big news.

At the same time, these journalists are generally not well-known, or newcomers to the industry.

will directly block the interview in this way, hoping to get a revelation.

And now looking at Zhao Hao's reaction, it seems that there is really hope.

"First of all, I did have some cooperation agreements with Valve, but I won't disclose the trade secrets."

"As for the second question, Space Gate Studios did have companies offer to buy, but I refused, I can say that I will never sell the studio, and we have also developed an independent game engine, and we have also started to make a new game, a unique and charming game." Zhao Hao looked at everyone and said.

This is not a secret, in fact, after Zhao Hao is ready to return to the studio, he will hold a press conference, and it is not a big deal to say it now.

As for the third question, Zhao Hao was too lazy to bird him and didn't even look at it.

However, hearing Zhao Hao's words, the group of reporters was a little excited, although it was not exciting news, but it was enough to satisfy them.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hao stopped talking, but stood in place and waited, although some of the reporters kept asking questions, hoping to hear some exciting news from Zhao Hao's mouth, but Zhao Hao didn't mean to answer at all, just stood in place and waited quietly.

Within minutes, airport security guards had driven the reporters away.

After leaving the airport, they followed James and Liu Dong into the car that had been arranged a long time ago.

"Boss, what does the place we work look like?" After getting into the car, James said to Zhao Hao with some curiosity.

The three people on the side also looked at Zhao Hao curiously.

This is the first time they have come to China.

The reason why they followed Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao's salary conditions were not the main reason, and they were not short of money, the main reason was Zhao Hao, who developed a game like 'Minecraft'.

For the love of games, they really want to see why Zhao Hao was able to make such a game.

And anyway, there are people to worry about food and housing, and there is a high salary, so if you don't want to do it, you just need to contact the valve headquarters to go back.

But at least for now, they face a problem, and that is that they don't understand Chinese.

In China, there is no such thing as Chinatown in the United States.

"Naturally, there is no way to compare with Valve, in fact, it is just an ordinary apartment, after all, our current studio, plus foreign affairs and financial personnel, is only more than forty people in total." Zhao Hao shook his head and said to James.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, several people couldn't help but nod in understanding.

For the place of work, James and the others did not have much hope, as long as it was not too bad, after all, they were already mentally prepared.

"What is the job of the boss, how many of us do?" James's companion on the side asked Zhao Hao.

"There's nothing, the programming of new games or something, Li Hua is in charge of them. You are mainly helping to develop some of the problems of the new engine, the progress. Zhao Hao said to him.

"Can we also participate in the design of the game?" James on the side asked with some curiosity.
