Vol 2 Chapter 1005: I want the strongest Blizzard

The first thousand and five chapters

I want the strongest Blizzard

Lin Feng arrived at Mike Mohuaimi's office.

Mike Mohuaimi’s office resembles the style of Blizzard Entertainment’s campus, full of the atmosphere of Blizzard Entertainment’s games. On the table are the statues of the "Juggernaut" and the "Fallen Angel" in Warcraft 3, and the posters of World of Warcraft are also posted on the walls. The room is full of game elements, not like a president's office, but like A room for game fans. But this also confirms that Blizzard Entertainment is unique in recruiting talents-only recruiting talents who play games. If the recruited programmer does not know how to play games and does not have a lot of time to play games a day, Blizzard will absolutely not want it.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down!" Mike Mohuaimi entered the office, with a relaxed expression, as if he was not in the office, but at home.

"Mike, your office is good. Working in such an office every day, I must feel very happy." Lin Feng smiled and pointed to the various stickers on the surrounding walls.

Mike Mohuaimi nodded.

"This is the purpose of our Blizzard. Only those who can play games know how to make games that the world loves." Mike Mohuaimi said with great pride.

Lin Feng smiled. In this regard, my company and Blizzard have the same results. Lam Fung also requires all employees of the eight major game development departments under its umbrella to set aside at least 4 hours to play games every day, and allow them to play games during working hours, as long as they can complete the tasks within the specified time.

After a casual chat, Mike Mohuaimi's expression changed.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have any suggestions for coming this time?" Mike Mohuaimi is also a gamer. Although he is currently in charge of management, he still adheres to the consistent concept of designing games-able to design with one line of code. The game screen never needs two lines. The same is true in his management, he doesn't want to talk nonsense. With every word of nonsense, perhaps he can type one more line of code!

When Lin Feng heard this, his expression was also straightened, and he stopped talking nonsense.

"Mike, this is not the first time we have cooperated. Regarding the previous cooperation in the development of 3D engines, both of us have been in a tacit understanding, and the development of World of Warcraft has also been extremely successful, so I think we can cooperate further!" Lin Feng said.

"Further cooperation?" Mike Mohuaimi murmured. Indeed, the cooperation between the two parties was very happy before, and the newly developed 3D engine undoubtedly filled the vacancy in World of Warcraft, allowing the development of World of Warcraft to be completed smoothly. For this cooperation, Blizzard is still very satisfied, and there are ideas for further cooperation. You know, the "Second World" has things that outside game companies really need. For example, the "Human Mechanics System" developed by Jade for the "Second World", as well as the most important "cloud computing" and supercomputers paired with "cloud computing".

These things are all urgently needed by the outside world. Especially for game companies that aspire to online games, "cloud computing" and supercomputers paired with "cloud computing" are even more tempting. After Lin Feng made the ten-thousand-man server out in advance, this created a problem for the global online game service providers-that is, how to make their servers able to withstand the interconnection of more than ten-thousand people.

As a game development company, it is not difficult for people to connect with each other, as long as the capacity is increased when designing. But for game service providers, that can be really troublesome.

The first is the network problem, whether it can withstand such a large data flow. Of course, at present, the Internet in developed countries has been speeding up a long time ago, and the download traffic per second has already exceeded 4m. It is not a problem to watch high-definition movies online, and the amount of traffic to load online games is even less of a problem.

There is absolutely no problem with internet speed. Especially with the development of the global Internet, network speeds will only get faster and faster in the future. The industry believes that the era of g per second (1g equals to 1024m) is definitely not far away.

The second and most important problem is the load of the server. At present, the world's best online game server (except for the online game server under the "Second World") can withstand the highest online 10,000 people. If you want to go further and increase its online number, it will be very difficult. That is the current problem for all online game companies (except for the "Second World"). At present, only the "cloud computing" of the "Second World" and its supporting supercomputers in the industry have the function to solve this problem, and can increase the maximum number of online users by more than 10 times at one time.

Especially with the unique "Dynamic Automatic Ignore and Compensation" technology of "Second World", the maximum number of online users can be doubled. Of course, for now, apart from the "Second World", no game company in the world has mastered this technology, and the "Second World" has never transferred its use rights.

Finally, it is the performance of the player's computer. But this is neither a problem nor a problem. Driven by the "Moore's Law" in the computer industry, players' computer performance will continue to improve in accordance with Moore's Law. Especially driven by more and more realistic game graphics, the improvement of computer performance has a faint trend beyond "Moore's Law". It can be said that this is not a problem.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by further cooperation?" Mike Mohuaimi said in thought.

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

"Mike, I always think that Blizzard is one of the best game companies in the game industry, and its future prospects will be unlimited. Therefore, I am very eager to join this team and jointly develop the big scene!" Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng's words made Mike Mohuaimi's complexion stiff. He didn't expect Lin Feng to spit out these words. Lin Feng actually wanted to raise Blizzard, which Mike Mohuaimi never expected.

In Mike Mohuaimi's view, Lin Feng's trip must have come for World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft uses a 3D engine jointly developed by both parties. For World of Warcraft, Mike Mohuaimi believes that the "Second World" should have some understanding and should be able to speculate on the prospects of World of Warcraft. Lin Feng's visit this time, in Mike Mohuaimi's view, should be the copyright of World of Warcraft in Mainland China. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng was so big that he wanted Blizzard.

This appetite is too big!

"Mr. Lin, Blizzard is the hard work of me and all employees. It no longer belongs to any of us, but to all of us! What's more, Blizzard has grown from a small studio of 15 people to more than 200 employees today. A formal game company, it is like our children. You say, there is no reason for parents to sell their own children! What's more, Blizzard currently has no shortage of money and no shortage of game talents." Mike Mohuaimi refused to say.

Lin Feng heard this, but was not discouraged. This was already in Lin Feng's expectation. If Mike Mohuaimi would sell Blizzard to himself based on his own words, it would be too trifling, and Blizzard would have seemed too worthless.

"Mike, I admit that Blizzard is one of the best gaming companies in the industry. But you should also understand that Blizzard will never be the best gaming company in the online gaming industry. Because of my'second world', My "Second World" is the best game company in the online game industry." Lin Feng did not shy away from it, and said confidently.

Lin Feng's words were extremely harsh. But Mike Mohuaimi must admit that what Lin Feng said is the truth. In the game industry, the "Second World" can only be said to be one of the best companies in the game industry, but when it comes to the online game industry, it can be said that the "Second World" currently has no rivals.

Relying on "cloud computing" and supercomputers, as well as "dynamic automatic ignore and compensation" technology, "Second World" has an industry-leading position, which is unsurpassed by other companies.

"Mike, don't you want hundreds of thousands of World of Warcraft to be able to play on the same server? In the war of tribes and alliances, don't you want thousands of people to fight on the vast plains! I can provide'cloud computing' 'And the right to use the supercomputer to your company.' Lin Feng throws out his only and most deadly bait.

When Mike Mohuaimi heard the words, he was taken aback.

auzw.com Yes, if the Alliance and the Horde could have tens of thousands of people fighting, what a spectacular scene would be. Just thinking about that scene is exciting. This is also the most coveted part of "cloud computing". For any online game, if there are tens of thousands of people fighting in the game, the scene and the grand occasion are amazing and hopeful.

No online game company can resist this temptation. No, absolutely no online game company can resist! Including Blizzard! But Blizzard is not an online game company, or in other words, Blizzard is not simply an online game company.

Blizzard’s current ace game is Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft. World of Warcraft is just an online game that has not yet been released. Whether it is from the confidence of Blizzard, or from the perspective of everyone's feelings for Blizzard, there are plenty of reasons to resist this temptation.

Blizzard has the pride of Blizzard! Blizzard, like the name Blizzard, will never compromise!

"Sorry, Mr. Lin, Blizzard is not short of funds or technical talents. Although we are very eager for'cloud computing' and supercomputers, we believe that only by having a firm belief in making our own games can we make the best. Games." Mike Mohuaimi said.

Lin Feng smiled upon hearing this. Lin Feng was well prepared for Mike Mohuaimi's repeated rejections. After all, such a successful company has no reason to raise funds at this time.

"Mike, you have to understand that Blizzard is indeed a great game company, but if you want to become the best game company in the industry, like'ea', it takes time and a lot of time. But if With my help, my capital, and my technology, I believe that in a very short period of time, Blizzard can become the best game company in the industry, and there is no one!" Lin Feng said.

Mike Mohuaimi frowned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so interested in Blizzard, he had repeatedly refused, but Lin Feng still did not give up.

"Mr. Lin, please be honest. Blizzard has always just wanted to make the best game and the best game on the planet for players. It has never thought about competing with any company. Our goal will always be one-- Make games that you like to play, games that players like to play! That's all! We never care about the rest. As for those excellent technologies, it is our blessing that we have it, but if we can’t have it, I believe it will only be temporary . In the future, Blizzard will definitely have it!" Mike Mohuaimi said neither arrogant nor humble.

Lin Feng heard the words and tapped his fingers. It seems that Mike Mohuaimi is really hard to move. After thinking about it, Lin Feng got up.

"Mike, if that's the case, then I can't continue talking today. But I want to remind you that I won't give up on Blizzard, never! You better have this consciousness!" After speaking, Lin Feng got up.

Mike Mohuaimi's face froze. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so stubborn and his ambition for Blizzard so big and strong.

"Mr. Lin, can you let me say something. In fact, our two companies can still cooperate further. For example, your company provides "cloud computing" and the right to use supercomputers, while our company can provide the World of Warcraft mainland, and even The copyright in the Asia-Pacific region, of course, regarding the purchase rights of all servers in World of Warcraft, we can also hand it over to your company." Mike Mohuaimi said.

He really desires "cloud computing". desperately desire! Especially after designing World of Warcraft, I became more eager for "cloud computing". However, he once consulted Wu Zhaopu for cooperation in this area, but Wu Zhaopu refused without hesitation. After all, "cloud computing" is the core of the "second world"! It will not be handed over to any company easily.

Lin Feng heard this and shook his finger.

"Mike, I don't want anything except Blizzard. Also, I want the right to use'cloud computing' and supercomputers, except for'my family', I will never give it to any company. Mike, you think about it. I believe that the cooperation between our two companies can definitely create a big scene." Lin Feng got up and walked out.

Mike Mo Huaimi sighed helplessly, and could only say goodbye to Lin Feng. Just as Lin Feng was about to walk out of the blizzard gate, Mo Huaimi couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Lin, if I take the liberty to ask, why do you care so much about Blizzard! It's not that I am self-deprecating, your'Second World' strength is far above Blizzard, whether it is economic strength or technical strength, it is in Blizzard. , Why do you care about Blizzard so much?" Mike Mohuaimi asked the question in his mind.

He really didn't understand why Lin Feng had to acquire Blizzard. Although Blizzard’s StarCraft, Warcraft, and Diablo are very famous and created an era of games, the legend of the "Second World", Counter-Strike online, Crazy Farm, and Virtual Life also created an era, and compared to Blizzard’s The game is even worse.

As for the "Second World" upcoming world war and infinite horror in the future, it is highly anticipated by players, and is known as the most anticipated game for players in the next ten years. In this case, why does Lin Feng care about Blizzard so much, and why! Why!

Lin Feng heard this and stopped. Looking at the sky, he let out a long sigh.

"Mike, what Lin Feng wants to do is to be the best game company in the world. No one is the best game company in the world, which can show all players a real virtual world. I want to be the best game company. , There must be tolerance. I think Blizzard is a very good company in the industry, and I need Blizzard’s power to help me achieve this wish.” Lin Feng said confidently.

After speaking, Lin Feng turned and left.

Looking at Lin Feng's leaving figure, Mike Mohuaimi was dumbfounded. Lin Feng's words were too domineering.

Do you want to be the best gaming company in the world? ——Mike Mohuaimi muttered. This is also his wish, but this wish is great, but it is also difficult to realize. But perhaps under the leadership of Lin Feng, Blizzard really has a greater future.

Pooh, pooh, pooh! ——Mike Mohuaimi took a few mouthfuls of himself. I am the president of Blizzard, I can't be so prestigious. It is indeed possible for Lin Feng to do this and create a real virtual world. But he can too. He can't be so unambitious.

But let's hold a board meeting to discuss it! ——Mike Mohuaimi thought for a while and decided to say.

At this time, Lin Feng had already embarked on a flight to Houston.

"Boss, how are you going to acquire Blizzard?" Lin Chiling said, looking at Blizzard Entertainment's information.

Blizzard Entertainment is currently affiliated with Vivendi in France. However, Vivendi has already fallen into an economic crisis due to poor management. If Lin Feng invested in the acquisition of Vivendi, it would be equivalent to the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment. This is the easiest way. Of course, another method is a little bit more troublesome, and that is to dig the corners directly and dig all the talents from Blizzard Entertainment.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Zhiling, what I want is not Blizzard Entertainment, but its talents and the atmosphere of Blizzard. This is something money can't buy. Even if I buy France Vivendi, then Mike Mohuai I am afraid that the people like Mi and others will follow the example of Bill Robert and other high-level employees who left before, choosing to leave. At that time, the Blizzard I got was just an empty shell, which was definitely not what I wanted. I wanted the best Strong Blizzard!" Lin Fengxin vowed.

The strongest Blizzard? ——Lin Chiling was taken aback.

Yes, the strongest Blizzard! Lin Feng will not only acquire the current Blizzard company, but also re-employ those senior and technical talents who had previously left Blizzard to form the strongest Blizzard and develop more and better companies for himself!

Lin Chiling took a sharp breath after listening. Lin Feng's ambition is really big and big. But this is the man Lin Chiling admires, and even the man who is willing to give everything for it!
