Chapter 830 This Is a Magical Game
After a few days, AOL's stock finally stabilized.
Howard's heart also relaxed. In just a few days, all the increase in market value brought about by Berkshire's acquisition has now evaporated, and even the new market value is slightly lower than before the acquisition.
It is equivalent to squeezing out all the moisture and returning to its proper value expression.
This means that Howard's dream of relying on an acquisition and waiting to collect money is completely shattered.
Of course, this does not mean that his bold investment this time was a failure.
For an Internet company with a strong foundation, if it can introduce new ideas, find another way, and adjust its development route in a timely manner, it is not impossible to make a comeback.
It's just that this is a bit difficult for Howard, who comes from an investment family.
Since Apocalypse Investment Company came up with a specific charter, Facebook's preparations have been on the fast track.
The transfer of several key positions in the organizational structure also mobilized the enthusiasm of the other two investors. The talents recruited in the end are all well-known elite leaders in the industry.
Wu Tao didn't worry about the specific matters, it was enough for Wu Yingying to check them out.
And he also shifted his energy to Tianxing Game Company.
This time Zhao Li came to Los Angeles in person, one is to further her studies in Tianxing Game Company, and even Blizzard Technology, and accumulate some experience; Come up with a distinctive main product.
After all, the success of this game directly determines whether the IPO road of Tianxing Game Company can be started smoothly.
In this regard, the industry has countless eyes staring at it.
Even Blizzard Technology Company, which has a close relationship with Tianxing Game Company, is silently watching.
Zhao Li, who puts herself into work, has no distractions.
Every time when he returned to the villa, he saw that the other party was in a daze, meditating, but Wu Tao didn't bother her.
Serious girls are especially attractive, even more attractive than swimming in bikinis a few days ago.
With Zhao Li's noise gone, and the housekeeper and servant team having been dismissed, Wu Tao sat in front of the terrace on a winter night in Irvine, and fell asleep unknowingly.
During this trip to Los Angeles, all aspects of things finally had an outline, and he could finally rest.
After this sleep, when he opened his eyes again, the night outside the door was already dark, and the sky was full of stars, twinkling and twinkling.
After moving his body, he realized that a thin blanket was covering his body at some point. Looking back, the light came on. It was Zhao Li's profile face seriously thinking about the game settings by the bar.
Since his rebirth, Wu Tao was not really surprised by the changes in An Rong's life. It seemed that everything was in his expectation, quite satisfactory.
Only Zhao Li's growth and changes are surprising and amazing.
Who would have thought that a girl from the health school who was married to a second-generation official would have come to this point quietly now.
Standing up and stretching, Wu Tao folded the thin blanket, stretched his chest, went to the bar and poured two glasses of boiling water.
Although Americans are not used to drinking hot water, they are always kept in Wu Tao's home.
"Hey, are you awake?" Zhao Li brushed her hair from her temples and asked in a neutral tone.
While blowing the hot water in the cup, Wu Tao said slowly, "I'm going to New York in two days, what do you plan to do next?"
"I may have to stay a little longer to work out the game planning framework for this time." Zhao Li said without raising her head, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I can do it myself when I go back."
Seeing her delving into it like this, Wu Tao couldn't bear it.
"Actually, the planning of new games does not need to be so urgent, just take your time. Sometimes inspiration can be encountered but not sought."
Zhao Lixian flexibly twirled the pencil and said: "Your words, half and half. Inspiration is indeed something that can be encountered but not sought after, but now is the time when my inspiration appears, so I have to seize the opportunity to perfect and enrich it. "
"...As for planning a new game, that's not what Mr. Qiu said. He's pointing to this new game to make a comeback in the company."
It's not a day or two for Qiu Xiaotian to have such a sense of crisis.
Especially after the family of three decided to settle in the United States, he became more and more concerned about work.
As for the success of the Counter-Strike game, Qiu Xiaotian felt that he did not have much credit for it, and he was in a vain state, so he urged Zhao Li to work hard, as a support for himself.
But Wu Tao didn't care about this point, after all, it was human nature.
But he couldn't help being curious about the inspiration Zhao Li mentioned, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Can you show me?"
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses and suddenly realized: "I said it earlier, how did I forget you, a think tank?!"
After taking a look at Zhao Li's conceptual sketch, there were dozens of pages, which seemed very complicated.
But after reading it roughly, it is not difficult to see that this is a competitive game setting based on Western Fantasy magic elements.
It can be seen that there are shadows of background settings in Harry Potter novels in many places.
It seems that this novel has not been read in vain, and the thinking has broadened a lot.
Not only the setting of Zhanzheng College is introduced, but also the ancient city-states are included. The map setting has a clear sense of hierarchy, which is particularly fascinating. For a while, Wu Tao's mind has some faint inspiration.
I always feel like I have seen this kind of similar game setting somewhere, but I really want to think about it, but I can't think of it.
Until the end, Wu Tao didn't catch the flash of inspiration in his mind.
Looking back, this setting outline seems to be very complete, and it can be developed into a well-organized comic masterpiece.
"It's perfect, what are you thinking about?" Wu Tao put down the draft and said casually.
Zhao Li couldn't help being a little disappointed, he didn't even notice what was missing, it seemed that it was unrealistic to count on him today.
Although I muttered in my heart, I still replied: "These things are enough to make a manga work, but there are still many things that are missing to make a game. At least the system is not three-dimensional enough, and it is completely unplayable as a game... ..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
The world view of this game is very similar to the League of Legends in the previous life, no wonder I have the illusion of deja vu!
It's just that the popularity of League of Legends does not depend on its grand world view, but on its unique game system design.
Such as matching system, rune system, summoner skills, qualifying mechanism and so on.
The memory in his mind was hooked up, and Wu Tao's chatterbox suddenly opened up, talking endlessly.
At first Zhao Li was a little confused, but the more she listened to it, the more novel and interesting she became, and she took this brush to listen and take notes...
It wasn't until the night was dark that Wu Tao finished talking about the main elements in his memory, and Zhao Li still kept asking questions about this and that.
After a while, looking at the suddenly three-dimensional game setting frame, Zhao Li couldn't help sighing: "This will definitely be a magical game..."
