Chapter 685 Taking the First Step of a Strong Alliance

Wu Tao was quite surprised by Allen's initiative to visit.

After all, for more than a month, although the two families have not publicly challenged each other, the competition and wrestling between the two families have continued to this day in private.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed surprising and gratifying that Allen was able to take the initiative to come to the small temple of Tianxing Game Company.

"Go, go out and meet me."

With a wave of his hand, Wu Tao got up first to welcome him out the door.

So the reporters who were wandering in front of the building and hadn't left yet captured the following scene.

"Welcome, Alan!" The two hands were historically held together.

Allen said straight to the point: "Wu, forgive me for my arrogance and contempt before. Now the sales performance of Counter-Strike has surpassed that of StarCraft, which shows that your company has enough strength to make video games as good as ours. Congratulations !"

While Wu Tao benefited from it, he didn't take credit for it. Instead, he introduced Li Ming and Jeff and the game development team behind him and said: "The success of Counter-Strike is due to their continuous improvement, making such a high-quality game!"

Allen nodded, "Yes, you are right. But according to my analysis, your company's means of game operation and distribution are even more superb. You use free form in China to form word-of-mouth as quickly as possible, and It has been very successful in terms of counteracting the European and American markets.”

Sure enough, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more in-depth, Wu Tao immediately let Ai Lun and his party into the conference room, and held an impromptu symposium.

This symposium was not full of rhetoric, but full of joy and harmony.

It wasn't until the end that Alan revealed the intention of coming here today: "Wu, I found that the game and Internet industry, because of the rise of Tianxing Game Company, not only failed to seize the market share of Blizzard Entertainment, but expanded the entire game market. So I think if we can strengthen our cooperation, there will be greater development.”

Wu Tao nodded, "Alan, I can't agree more on this point."

"Since that's the case, Wu, I've decided to hand over the Asian operation and distribution of StarCraft to your company as an agent."

Happiness came so suddenly that Qiu Xiaotian could hardly believe his ears.

"Alan, it's a great honor!"

In this way, Tianxing Game Company and Blizzard Entertainment took the first step of a strong alliance.

Thinking of the popularity of StarCraft in the country in the previous life even after the millennium, Wu Tao felt that there was a lot to be done.

Originally, he planned to ask Shi Qianxue to expand the marketing department and set up a marketing operation and distribution department. Now that StarCraft is released in Asia, it just happens to be a matter of beating the rabbits and taking care of them.

Fast forward to the beginning of May.

In just one month's release cycle, Counter-Strike's sales and online registration have brought nearly 50 million US dollars in revenue to Tianxing Game Company.

Even after deducting the continuous investment of more than 20 million US dollars since the establishment of the company, it still achieved 100% return.

Such a business can be said to be quite impressive.

On the first day of May, Wu Tao and Shi Qianxue took China Air and returned to Zhonghai.

The next step of Mountain View City's plan, after this period of drafting and consultation, has already begun to take shape.

Such as expanding the office area, improving the R&D and operation teams, and establishing a game engine team, game art team, etc.

This will again be an expensive investment.

However, as a sharp sword directly inserted into the US Internet industry, Wu Tao also plans to use this branch to make more moves for the future layout of the Internet industry, so it is worthwhile to invest more.

on the plane.

On the left is the anxious Shi Qianxue, tossing and turning all the way, unable to even sleep soundly.

Wu Tao turned his head to the other side, wanting to sleep peacefully. Unexpectedly, on the right is Molly, who flew to Asia by the way, and the two large snow-white masses are shining brightly in front of his eyes.

Does this make people fall asleep?

If I had known earlier, I would have waited for the first-class cabin on the next flight, so I wouldn't have to suffer so much.

"Cousin, you suddenly put such a big burden on me, I'm really worried if I can handle it?" Shi Qianxue hesitated, but still spoke out.

In her opinion, since they are relatives after all, there should be room for negotiation on this matter.

Unexpectedly, Wu Tao said in a business-like tone: "Since you want the position of vice president, you should know what to do in that position! But you don't have to worry, you can't take on this burden. At worst, I will fire you. We'll see when the time comes." For the sake of relatives, I can give you more compensation."

"You are ruthless!" Shi Qianxue was anxious.

"I think you're making trouble out of no reason." Wu Tao retorted.

"Where did I make trouble for no reason?"

"You don't make trouble for no reason..." Regarding Qiong Yao's routine, Wu Tao is very clear, and Shi Qianxue was speechless, and finally he could only let out a foul breath in his chest: "I have chosen this burden, so as not to be caught by you, a ruthless and unreasonable person." The boss found an excuse and fired!"

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly at Zhonghai International Airport.

The pick-up team had already been waiting outside the airport. Wu Tao said goodbye to Mo Li, got into the car, and went straight to Jinling without stopping.

Unlike the sunny days in Los Angeles, the road from Zhonghai to Jinling was rainy and muggy.

After Wu Tao asked carefully, he heard that it had been raining for more than ten days.

In many places in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, dangerous flood peaks have occurred, and the situation is very critical.

Sure enough, it should come, and it will come.

Wu Tao looked at the rain curtain outside the window and suddenly became worried.

It seems that the construction of the fab is destined to be postponed. Not only that, but the construction period of my own Lao Tzu's real estate will also be affected.

When I returned to my home in Splendid Washington, it was already evening.

Shi Qianmei came back early, prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, and greeted the two of them. Who knew that as soon as the two of them entered the door, their noses were not noses, their faces were not faces, and no one paid attention to the other.

"What's the matter with you two?" Shi Qianmei smiled helplessly.

Wu Tao decided to sue first, "I promoted her, but she got angry with me."

"you……"

"Isn't it?" Wu Tao asked back.

"I..." Shi Qianxue was no longer as eloquent as before, and was speechless.

Because in this matter, she is indeed unreasonable.

Shi Qianmei held back and said, "Eat first, and we'll talk about something after dinner!"

During the meeting, Wu Tao gave Shi Qianmei an overview of his experience in the United States. The ups and downs were really touching.

After hearing this, Shi Qianmei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Cousin, you are really good at doing business, and now you are starting to earn money from foreigners. Compared with you, my down jacket is out of season, and the new clothes are still available." No design, the factory has been shut down for several days, and rumors are spreading, cousin, you have to give me some advice..."
