When Chen Ba named the studio, he didn't expect that "Tianba" would become a popular name for newborns.

Come on, this is really locomotive!

Zhang Tianba met Wang Tianba, and the two came to Tianba's studio to apply for a job, the interviewer's name was Xu Tianba, and his wife's name was Zhou Tianba......

What about playing with tongue twisters?

Chen Ba was speechless about the approach of these young parents, because in his opinion, this way of naming is no different from Zihan Zihan in the early years.

But then again.

The couples and couples matched by "Love Staff" have not reached a certain extent, so there is a high probability that the scene imagined by Chen Ba will not happen.

In other words.

The name "Tianba" will not be like Zihan Zihan, with duplicate names everywhere. Because of the Tianba community, how can so many children have this name?

You don't really think that there are a lot of husband and wife players matched by "Love Staff", right?

Trivia!

Since the launch of "Love Staff", although it has successfully matched many players and helped many players find a partner, it is ......

Most players are in a state of love, and the proportion of people who actually go to the step of "getting married" is not high.

For this, Chen Ba also observed.

After all, "Love Staff" is the image project of the studio, and there is no room for error. He is also full of curiosity about the reason why the matchmaking rate is so high, but the marriage rate is not high.

By observing him to find.

Most of the players of "Love Staff" are in love, and there are two main reasons why they are not in a hurry to get married.

One is to want to have more contact.

As the saying goes, seeing people's hearts over time, whether two people are suitable or not, you will definitely not be able to see it in a short time, and you still have to get along for a while before you can draw conclusions.

The second reason is complicated......

No matter how magical "Love Staff" is, it's just a game. Since it's a game, it's no different from "online dating" for the family.

When two people fall in love, it's a matter between two young people, as long as they both like each other.

But when two people get married, it is a major event for two families, and the opinions of two young people, sometimes in the face of family pressure, it is really nothing.

Chen Ba has witnessed several regrets.

A couple met and fell in love through "Love Staff", but not only did they not receive blessings after the relationship was exposed, but they were banned from interacting by their parents.

A divorced middle-aged uncle met a woman who was also single with children through "Love Staff", and originally decided to get married and raise the children together.

As a result, the woman's son shouted everywhere that his mother had cuckolded his father, and went to his grandparents to complain......

In this way, the marriage of these two people is naturally no fun.

There are many similar cases.

If you often visit the community, especially the content related to "Love Staff", you will find that although the game matches players with the most correct person, not everyone can reap happiness.

It can only be said that the game's matching mechanism is not yet advanced enough to be 100% compatible with each other's "families".

……

Zhang Pengfei was happy to have a noble son and named him Zhang Tianba, and Chen Ba also sent a special gift.

That's as it should be.

Zhang Pengfei, as a player of the year in "Love Staff", has been the subject of interviews and reports from various media over the years.

Every time he faces the camera, he will say good things to "Love Staff" and Tianba Studio. is reasonable, Chen Ba should accept his feelings.

Speaking of which......

Among the millions of players in Tianba's games, there are not many players who can get Chen Ba's attention like Zhang Pengfei and prepare congratulatory gifts for him.

Hu Hui is one of them.

Hu Hui, who goes by the screen name "Huizi", has shown super hands-on ability since he was a child. But it was after the release of the game "Speed Hurricane" that he really shined......

Huiba Automobile, a new energy vehicle company whose R&D center is set up in games and builds cars through games, has now gone through three rounds of financing, with a valuation of more than 50 billion, and is planning to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Once listed, Hu Hui, a young man under the age of 30, is very likely to become a new billionaire!

There is no doubt that this is the most successful representative of all the Tianba gamers.

He is even richer than Chen Ba.

No kidding!

Although Huiba Automobile also has Chen Ba's shares, it didn't account for much at first, not to mention that after multiple rounds of financing dilution, it will be even less.

It can only be said that Huiba Automobile has been able to get to this day, half of it is due to Hu Hui's outstanding ability, half of it is Huazi's technical support, and Chen Ba only plays the role of a cheerleader in this.

At the beginning, he casually invested tens of millions, but now the valuation is as high as more than 3 billion, which is very unexpected by Chen Ba.

Be reasonable.

If it weren't for Huiziqian's advice to Brother Ba not to be in a hurry to cash out, in the face of such a high valuation, Chen Ba would have been unable to help but moisten.

In fact, in the third round of financing, when the major investment banks valued Huiba Automobile at 50 billion, Chen Ba wanted to turn his gloves and run away.

In his opinion, this valuation is too inflated.

How many cars did Huiba Motors sell? Those old car companies don't have such a high market value, why can Huiba Automobile be valued at 50 billion?

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Hu Hui told Chen Ba that if he wants to run, he will not run now, and when the company is officially listed, it will not be too late for Chen Ba to run away.

Now run away, not to mention who will take over the 6% shares, even if someone can be found to take over, the current price is definitely not the highest price.

Actually, it's okay not to run.

According to Hu Hui, the company's valuation must have a certain bubble, but Huiba Automobile is not useless, and holding shares for a long time is definitely not a loss.

And most importantly......

Huiba Motors is coming soon!

Chen Ba, who holds 6% of the shares, will become the third largest shareholder. The third-largest shareholder sold his shares, which is not a good thing for the company.

It may be that as soon as it is listed, the stock price will fall below the issue price.

"Then I'm not going to run."

After listening to Hu Hui's analysis, Chen Ba also felt that as the third largest shareholder of Huiba Automobile, it was not a simple matter to run away.

Since you can't run away, and as Hu Hui said, the future of Huiba Automobile is very bright, and there is still room for the company's market value to continue to improve after listing, so take it in your hands!

Anyway, Chen Ba is not short of money.

This 6% of the shares is only 3 billion yuan now, but if the development of Huiba Automobile is getting better and better, it will be more than 3 billion.

"Hey, that's right!"

After a long day of hard persuasion, he finally dispelled the idea of running away from Brother Ba, and Hu Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Brother Ba!"

"You Tianba Studio has so much liquidity, isn't there any other use for it except for developing games?"

"There are other uses!"

Chen Ba denied.

With so much money on the books of Tianba Studio, naturally it is not lying down and eating interest, it must have other uses.

In addition to the funds set aside for the development of new games, Tianba Studios will also make a series of investments. It's just that the investment of Tianba Studio is more focused on the special field of "Divine Grace Animation".

That's right, Divine Charisma Animation!

Since the advent of "Grace Continent", which gave birth to a new category of "Grace Animation", Tianba Studio has made a net-wide investment in this field.

For example......

Recently hit a charity animation, although the production team is from abroad, the investor is Tianba Studio.

There are many similar examples.

Throughout last year, about 7,240 charismatic anime were broadcast worldwide. Among them, there are more than 80 charismatic animations, which are produced with a personalized customized version of "Divine Charity Continent".

Among the more than 80 works, about half of the works have been invested by Tianba Studio.

No way!

Personalized customization services are too expensive, and many animation companies and animation production teams are reluctant to do so. However, the finished effect of the personalized customization service is very good, far exceeding the professional version.

So what to do?

Let Tianba Studio serve as an investor and provide personalized customization software and funds, won't the problem be solved?

Anyway, who to invest in is not an investment, pull Tianba Studio to invest, and you can also use the personalized customized version of "Divine Grace Continent" for nothing, which is simply a lot of money!

Because of this, Tianba Studio spends a large amount of money every year to invest in a number of charismatic animations.

These investments have both losses and gains.

Overall, it's profitable, after all, compared to the return on investment, the production cost of Divine Grace Animation is too low.

Not to mention, the production software of Divine Grace Animation is still Tianba Studio's own, which is equivalent to free use, and there is no software license fee, so the cost is even cheaper.

The only pity is ......

Because the competition in Divine Grace Animation is too fierce, unless it is the ultimate hit, even if it makes money, it won't make much money.

It's still more stable to collect tolls!

Thinking of this, Chen Ba also made a plan, starting this year, the studio will no longer invest in the production of divine grace animation.

It's good to collect tolls honestly, at least the money comes safely, and the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood! You can't make a lot of money investing in Divine Charism Animation, so why bother?

"Brother Ba ......"

After hearing that Brother Ba had money in his hands and didn't seem to be able to spend it, Hu Hui said with some interest: "Do you want to increase some shares?" Is 6% or too little, or 10%? ”

"Don't beat me!"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said: "I think 6% is too much, it's not easy to run, and you still let me increase my holdings?" You want me to be completely trapped, right? ”

Are you kidding!

On the side of Huiba Automobile, he promised Hu Hui not to run away, which is already the bottom line. After all, according to his original idea, the listing must cash out and run away.

It is impossible to increase the holdings.

These new car-making forces, don't look at the current boom, it is still unknown how many will survive in two years.

Maybe not a family will survive.

Anyway, Chen Ba didn't believe this, and asked him to increase his stake in Huiba Automobile, he would rather continue to invest in Divine Grace Animation, at least this thing can see the future, so that he won't invest this year and stop cooking next year.

"Okay, since you're not happy, forget it."

Hu Hui didn't seem surprised by this reply, probably he also realized that Brother Ba was not the same person as him.

But then again.

The company's listing is imminent, whether it is a person all the way or not, at least on the day of listing, Chen Ba has to go to the scene and cooperate with Hu Hui to play a scene.

"Can you not go?"

"Can't! You're the third largest shareholder and the co-founder of Goba Motors......"

Chen Ba couldn't help but go.

At such an important moment when the company is listed, as the third largest shareholder + co-founder, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for him not to go to the scene.

Let's take a trip!

However, the listing process has not yet been completed, and it is estimated that it will be April or May when the bell rings, so Chen Ba is not in a hurry.

Compared with this incident, the Kadir who did not give up on him, chased him all the way from the Americas to Asia, and crossed the entire Pacific Ocean just to convince him, gave him more headaches.

This guy is so cheeky!

Tianba's studio has clearly rejected him, but he still refuses to leave in Jiangning, and makes a regular phone call to Chen Ba every day to introduce his grand blueprint.

"I admit that your idea is attractive, Mr. Kadir, but is it possible that we can do it all without working with you?"

"Can I join you, then?"

Chen Ba: "......"

He thought about 10,000 answers, but he didn't expect that this old thing was willing to take his subordinates to join Tianba Studio in order to get what he wanted.

It's crazy too.

For a moment, Chen Ba admitted that he was moved, after all, Kadir's team is indeed quite famous in the industry.

If Tianba Studio can bring this team under its command, it will definitely greatly improve the studio's game development strength.

But on second thought, Kadir was clearly here for the Tyrant engine.

To put it bluntly, his idea of joining Tianba Studio is not simple, but has a strong utilitarian and purposeful nature. Let him bring someone to join Tianba, maybe he will run away in two days.

Of course!

Kadir is a team, and Tianba Studio can't eat it. However, in order to make good use of the "anti-cheat" ability of the Tianba engine and develop more interesting FPS games, Chen Ba does plan to merge and acquire a game team that specializes in FPS.

It's not hard to see why.

FPS is a game theme that is rampant with demons and involutions.

Tianba Studio has never done this kind of game before, not to mention the lack of experience, and the tuning of the ballistics of many guns is almost level.

In this case, merging a team that specializes in FPS games and using the data experience they have accumulated will undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

The goal is already there.

A "sniper" studio that may not be well-known abroad, but is well-known at home.

The studio is best known for its single-player sniper series, which still holds the record for domestic FPS sales, selling more than 1.8 million copies.

But it's all the old calendar.

The sniper series is like a fairy sword, one by one pulls the crotch, and now, it is difficult to break 500,000 sales.

Because of this, they encountered a serious debt crisis, which could be bought by Chen Ba and merged into Tianba Studio, specializing in FPS games.

Oh yes!

This sniper studio has a very good reputation, and it still has the title of "studio", but in fact, there are only six core members.

At this scale, Chen Ba is embarrassed to use the word M&A, to be precise, he just spent money to dig up six senior FPS game developers.
