Blizzard, which was acquired by Davidson※Associates, does not have much autonomy and say in the matter of whether or not to cooperate with ICQ, although the three of them can explain the benefits of cooperating with Davidson※Associates to Davidson※Associates for good reasons, but if Davidson※Associates is determined not to cooperate with ICQ, What good way can the three of them do it?

Why do you think so, because the boss of Davidson※Associates is a relatively conservative person, and conservative people are not so fond of new things, in order to persuade Davidson※Associates Board of Directors to form a battle network, the three of them can be said to have spent a lot of effort, this time with ICQ, Davidson※Associates What is the attitude on the side, Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce really don't know the bottom of their hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a moment of silence, the lead programmer Frankpearce spoke first, and he said slowly, "Anyway, we can hear what he means first." ”

"That's right!" Glancing at each other, Allenadham and Mikemorhaime nodded together: "Let's listen to Lin Zheng and ICQ first, and then talk about anything else, maybe ICQ can make a condition that Davidson※Associates can't refuse?" Although even they themselves don't quite believe in this idea.

…………………………………………

No matter what calculations the two sides have in their hearts, Lin Zheng finally met with the Blizzard Triumvirate, at this moment, the Blizzard Triumvirate has not yet developed the powerful aura of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world" in later generations, in front of Lin Zheng, the chairman of ICQ, Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce are obviously still a little restrained, but Lin Zheng is a little anti-guest-oriented, while talking to Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce shook hands and said to them, "Allen, Mike, Frank, please don't be so nervous, I'm here to learn from Blizzard, and I'm the one who feels nervous." ”

Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce didn't believe Lin Zheng's nonsense!

Before coming, Lin Zheng's official letter to Blizzard said that he would come to Blizzard to inspect game production, and once to avoid Blizzard's parent company, Davidson※associates, but whether it was Lin Zheng or Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce, they all knew in their hearts that ICQ was definitely a drunkard who did not mean to drink, and if he really believed Lin Zheng, it would be the world's No. 1 mallet!

It's just that despite despising Lin Zheng in their hearts, the three of them still said very politely: "Mr. Lin, you are so humorous." ”

Lin Zheng also understood in his heart that before this cultivation game was over, it was really too difficult to make Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce talk to themselves calmly when facing themselves, and he didn't force it, and looked at the three of them: "Thank you for your hospitality, a little gift, and please accept it." ”

A small gift? Allenadham, Mikemorhaime, and Frankpearce all had a little confusion on their faces: What little gift?

Pony quickly steps forward and hands over a check for $50,000.

Seeing this check, Allenadham, Mikemorhaime, and Frankpearce's faces changed in unison: What do you mean by ICQ? Is this insulting to us Blizzard?

"Don't get me wrong," looking at Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce, who had changed their faces suddenly, Lin Zheng waved his hand and said sincerely: "This time, we are here in the hope of learning some real things in game production, and at the same time, we also hope to send some people to your company to learn how to make a good game. ”

I see. With this sufficient reason for the past, which can be explained in all aspects, the faces of Allenadham, Mikemorhaime, and Frankpearce suddenly softened.

$50,000 is not much, but it is not a big attraction for Blizzard now!

It's also pitiful to say, although the current Blizzard company is not a poor jingle, the company's financial situation is still good, but like all game production companies, although Blizzard retains the independent production rights of the game, but the financial aspect is not rich, and it depends on the parent company Davidson※associates in terms of financial transfusion to be able to maintain normally, from this point of view, the current Blizzard can actually be regarded as poor without clanging, The $50,000 can already allow Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce to do a lot of things, and the most important thing is that the $50,000 is Blizzard's own small coffers, which are justifiably "consulting fees" that do not have to be handed over to the parent company.

Without too much hesitation, Allenadham didn't feel embarrassed to accept the check at all, and the smile on his face became much more enthusiastic: "No problem, Mr. Lin, helping peers master the best game production techniques has always been one of Blizzard's tenets. ”

"Oh?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows in some surprise: Blizzard still has this kind of opinion? It's rare.

Looking at Lin Zheng's expression, Allenadham knew what Lin Zheng was thinking, and explained to him: "Blizzard believes that only when there are more well-made games on the market can the industry further prosper, and the result of everyone working together to make the game industry bigger will benefit Blizzard as well, so no matter what, Blizzard welcomes companies and individuals who come to Blizzard to learn." ”

Of course, if the people who come to learn don't come with something real, they also want to learn something real. But that's not interesting to say.

Lin Zheng gave a thumbs up and praised: "Blizzard really deserves to be Blizzard!" ”

……………………

Unlike the world's top game production company with thousands of people a few years later, Blizzard is still only a small company, with less than 100 employees, saying that it was to investigate, but it took less than an hour and a half for the entire inspection process to come to an end, and ICQ also reached a framework agreement with Blizzard for the targeted training of game production personnel, and after the specific cooperation agreement is negotiated, Blizzard will officially help ICQ train a group of game developers.

Both sides understand that this is just foreplay, and this foreplay is more used to fool Blizzard's parent company, Davidson*Associates, and the real drama is always after the investigation......

"Mr. Lin, are you here for our agency rights in Warcraft II and Diablo?" When the investigation was over, Allenadham finally couldn't help but ask Lin Zheng.

"Agent? No, no, no," Lin Zheng shook his head, looked at Allenadham and said seriously: "Allen, the distribution rights of Warcraft II and Diablo are in the hands of your company's parent company, if I want the agency rights of these two games, then I will only contact David Associates, not come to you." ”

Allenadham was speechless for a moment, that's right, David Associates is a game publishing company, if ICQ really wants to represent a certain game of Blizzard, they don't need to go around such a big circle, they can go directly to David Associates, and they don't even need Lin Zheng to come forward, with ICQ's status and influence in the industry, All they needed was a department manager or department president, and with Allenadham's understanding of the people at David Associates, they would have been eager to work with ICQ.

"Then you are ......" After a while, Allenadham asked Lin Zheng in a curtled manner.

"ICQ wants to buy Blizzard's Battle.net."

"What?!"

Lin Zheng's words made Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce stare at the same time: "Mr. Lin, are you kidding?!" ”

Buying Blizzard's Battle.net? What does ICQ think? If it weren't for the strong vitality of the game's network-based, how could Blizzard squeeze out a sum of money to make Blizzard Battle.net? Finally, Blizzard spent a huge price to do a good job of Battle.net, but now Lin Zheng wants to acquire it with his own efforts?

At this moment, Allenadham, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce even had the urge to beat Lin Zheng out!

"The three of you think I've come all the way here just to make this joke with the three of you?" Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.

Allenadham, Mikemorhaime, and Frankpearce were speechless, indeed, Lin Zheng's time could not be so worthless.

So the question is, since Lin Zheng is not joking with himself, then he is telling the truth? r1152
