Chapter 366: Joining the Riot Game
Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Riot Games was located in an abandoned factory near Santa Monica Beach when Andy looked through the car window to see a rectangular stone monument standing next to the doorway with a Riot anamorphic font logo on it.
Driving along the cement road into the factory area, stopping in front of a rectangular factory building with black walls, Andy opened the car door and walked down, looked around, surrounded by low vegetation of the factory, there are some small round tables and red art seats in the open space, from time to time there is a sea breeze, blowing the branches and leaves of various plants gently swaying.
"Mr. Smith, welcome to Riot Games. Brandon Baker and his group had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw Andy get out of the car, they greeted him with a smile with a few founding teams.
"The air here is really fresh, you guys have found a good place... Andy smiled and shook hands with Brandon Baker and exclaimed, and under Baker's introduction, he shook hands with the main person in charge and the team of Riot Company.
As Baker and the others entered the company, they saw a white wall, without any decoration except for some game renderings, and the floor was paved with gray-white marble, which was very empty.
When Andy walked to the middle, he paused slightly, pointed to the empty and wide space, and said, "Here, you can make a one-to-one hero doll sculpture and place it here... By the way, I think that little Lori Anne and her bear will do!"
Andy's words made the eyes of everyone at Riot brighten, not only for Andy's decoration proposal, but most importantly, Andy really had carefully read their creative project, and was able to casually name a hero, which was definitely an investor who recognized their work.
Entering the office area, Andy looked up at the ceiling, to be honest, it was very messy, there were pipes and iron shelves everywhere, the roof was all wood, although the lights were very bright, but it still gave people a depressing feeling, the office area was very large, very empty, there was only one area with twenty computer desks and computers, near the load-bearing wall in the middle, there was a refrigerator, shelves for food, and a few buckets of water, and a table with coffee pots and some messy things.
Andy frowned slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling and said to Brandon Baker: "Tear down the ceiling and replace it with a glass ceiling, to let the sun shine in, it feels too depressing now, it will affect your mood, here, build several rooms around the load-bearing wall, lounge, drinking area, coffee room, food area and meeting room." ”
All the people in Riot Company simply didn't know what to say, and now the big boss was simply divine, and said all their thoughts, making eye contact with each other, and seeing joy in each other's eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Smith, it used to be because I didn't have the extra money to care about the working environment. Brandon Baker had an unspeakable wry smile on his face, and he knew that the working environment was indeed not good, but who made their company have no money.
Brandon Baker and the founders did not have a separate office, they all worked outside with everyone, and everyone walked to the computer chairs arranged in a circle and sat down.
As the largest shareholder and the de facto owner of Riot, Andy first introduced himself and praised Riot Games' creativity, after all, it was more fun for these programmers to recognize their work than to praise them personally.
“。。。 So, apart from the addition of a major shareholder, the company has a money accident, nothing else has changed, Brandon is a good leader and manager, and I think Riot will achieve extraordinary results with your efforts... ”
To the applause of the crowd, Andy ended his first meeting to take ownership of Riot Games, and under the guidance of Brandon Baker, he looked at the model of the game continent that had already been made, as well as the simple animation disguise of several heroes, and some sketches of the game map.
It's still in the initial stage, and to be honest, there's not much to see, but what you can see makes Andy very satisfied, and it's not much different from his previous life, basically this game has taken shape, and now it's just a matter of recruiting people to make it.
After visiting the company, Andy didn't want to continue to disturb everyone's work, after all, he was here, and there were not many production teams, and several main leaders had to accompany him, so he didn't stay long.
Walking out of the company's office area, Andy said to Brandon Baker beside him: "The people from the finance department and the legal department will be in the company today, and they will cooperate with your work." ”
"I understand, boss. Brandon Baker is not averse to the two departments that Andy wants to grasp, and now Andy is the big boss of the company, and to be honest, even if he takes away his position as CEO with 70% of the shares, he has no way to do it.
"By the way, what's going on around here?" asked Andy, pointing to the nearby open space overgrown with weeds.
"It used to be a warehouse where goods were stacked, but now it's all abandoned. ”
"Do you know who owns the land?" said Andy, standing in front of the car door, looking around at the environment.
"Belonging to a freight company... ”
"Give Carl the contact information, I think that after the game is successful, this will be used as a headquarters. Andy said lightly to Brandon Baker.
The corners of Brandon Baker's mouth twitched, he looked back at the large open space around him, swallowed his saliva, watched the boss sit in the car, lowered the window and waved his hand, and walked away.
Ahem, the big boss is really not bad for money, this area will be the headquarters area of Riot in the future, oh my God, happiness will come too soon!
Andy didn't know how happy and excited Brandon Baker was because of his words, and he didn't care about this little thing, after all, that land area was a bit remote and not worth much.
LOL already belongs to itself.,Now I'm waiting for the game to be produced.,But will the Riot company that no longer raises funds still cause the idea of the fat penguin?
As for whether the fat penguin will buy the fist company from his own hands in the future, Andy has not cared, whether to sell or not is just a matter of whether the price is suitable or not, of course, if you still want to use a little knife to win LOL, I'm afraid it's not very possible, after next year, he will not be short of money, maybe the delicious fat penguin shares will be a good choice.
It's also time to go back to New York, complete the purchase of CDS as soon as possible, wait for the collapse of the two houses of the US imperialists, and then let Li Xiaoying return to the rabbit country with the funds, whether it is a fat penguin or a horse baba, it may be very good to get involved.
However, if you want to take out the shares from the hands of the old boy Son, I am afraid it is not so simple, but Ma Baba has been reducing his controlling share, but he can get a little, and I think he will also hope that there will be a stronger background of foreign capital to form a certain constraint on SoftBank and Yahoo.
Ma Baba is still very good at playing tricks, I have to admit that Lao Ma is an excellent strategist, but from the pressure he withstands, hard steel SoftBank and Yahoo, separated Alipay, set up a separate company, and grabbed it in his hands, it can be seen that he is decisive in killing, of course, although what he does is a bit unauthentic, the destruction of the spirit of the contract is still criticized.
Let Li Xiaoying, a genius beauty, fight with the invincible Ma Baba, I don't know if she will come to dig her corner, it's hard to say, but Andy is confident that the partner status he gave Li Xiaoying is not so easy to shake.
Pure capital operation and vague shadow capital, Li Xiaoying, who hates internal struggles, will make the right decision, of course, there is the best solution in Andy's heart, which is to make her her his own, but unfortunately, this is not so easy to do.
When Andy returned to the apartment where he had a tryst with Charlize in the car, he found that there was no one at home, and he saw some cigarette cases in a garbage bag on the side of the porch.
Andy knew that Theron would smoke sometimes, and asked her to quit more than once, but Theron, who was half pessimistic, was difficult not to be irritable, but fortunately, when she broke up the hardest, she was entangled with Andy, and did not make her become an alcoholic, and she was rarely seen smoking with his company.
But now it seems that in order to have a child, she really fought hard, Andy could understand Theron's mood, took off his blazer and hung it on the hanger, kicked off his leather shoes and walked into the living room.
