Chapter 1004 Blizzard's Fear

California. important in america

One-seventh of the U.S. population. It occupies the entire gills of the United States, with an economic scale of trillions of dollars, and its economic strength ranks first in the United States. Assuming she is an independent country, she can be called the fifth largest economy in the world, second only to the United States, the European Union, Japan and China . At the same time, there are many high-tech companies in California, and Silicon Valley, the world's most famous high-tech industrial zone, is located in California.

Irvine is a small city in Orange County, California. It is sparsely populated, without the hustle and bustle of cars in other big cities in the United States, and without the dazzling neon lights in the sky. There are forests, blue sky and white clouds, green grass and streams here. It can be said to be an idyllic green city, a quite suitable for living city ​​of. However, in this small city that is very suitable for living, there is a company that can shock the game world, Blizzard Entertainment Company.

The target of Lin Feng's trip is Blizzard Entertainment.

In order to keep a low profile this time, Lin Feng's private plane "Wing of Wind" was temporarily parked at Houston International Airport for Ming lucky players to use when visiting the United States. As for Lin Feng himself, he took an American Airlines flight to Alvin City.

Lin Feng flew loose under the net, and the president of Blizzard Entertainment, Mike Morwaime, came up to him.

"Mr. Lin, welcome! Welcome." Mike Mohuai smiled.

"Mike, long time no see, congratulations. Congratulations." Lin Feng said congratulations. Congratulations to Lin Feng, in April, Blizzard Entertainment announced the launch of a large-scale online game "World of Warcraft", and it is expected to launch a public test in April, and the country selected for listing is South Korea. After all, South Korea is the most popular country for Blizzard Entertainment's "StarCraft", and Blizzard Entertainment believes that this "World of Warcraft" in South Korea will arouse the popularity of Korean players.

Blizzard Entertainment thought for a long time when it was selecting a test country. It was supposed to be in America. However, the online game industry in the United States is not well developed. The United States, where the sports industry and various entertainment industries are overdeveloped, does not pay much attention to game entertainment, especially online games. The American people have too many entertainment methods.

Then Blizzard Entertainment thought of Europe, but Europe is now being aggressively invaded by Lin Feng's "Second World". Once it advances to Europe, it is afraid that it will confront Lin Feng's "Second World" head-on. When it comes to stand-alone games, Blizzard does not fear any company. But when it comes to online games, although Blizzard is very confident in "World of Warcraft", but the online market hastily fought against the overlord of the online game industry. This is not a wise choice. It is very likely that players will be attracted by Lin Feng's series of promotional activities before they experience the fun of the game. At that time, a good game will be ruined like this.

Therefore, in the end, Blizzard can only focus on Asia. Although Asia is Lin Feng's territory, there are several countries in Asia that Lin Feng's forces cannot penetrate. Japan, with the relationship between China and Japan, and Lin Feng's previous high-profile attack on the Japanese financial market.

It can be said that the companies under Lin Feng are quite unpopular in Japan. Only that play. It can be said. Japan is a good place to experiment. However, Japan's online game market is more "poor" than that of the United States. It is by no means a good place.

Apart from Japan, the remaining place is South Korea. Blizzard's games are extremely popular in South Korea. At the time of selection, the first public beta country proposed by Blizzard executives was South Korea, but because Lin Feng's women are extremely popular in South Korea, for the Korean people, women from their own country can actually capture the richest people in the world. A rather dignified affair. In particular, Lee Ji Woo and Hwang Mi Hee both grew up from ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary. This is the "Korean dream" of all Korean women.

In this situation. Blizzard is worried that when the public beta is held, if Lin Feng takes some sanctions in order to attack his opponents, Blizzard will not be able to predict the reaction of the Korean people. But right now. Picking the screen, the only suitable test country is South Korea. Korean players love Blizzard games, which is not found in other countries.

Of course, Blizzard can also expect that Lin Feng will not launch sanctions against Blizzard's "World of Warcraft". After all, there are many game companies in this world, not just the "Second World" game company, Lin Feng can't be so domineering. However, Blizzard President Mike Morwaime once talked with Lin Feng (about the joint development of a new game engine). The wind is afraid of Blizzard.

And judging from Lin Feng's past methods, Lin Feng never showed mercy to those possible enemies. Especially in the world of online games, Lin Feng's methods and arrogance are as if I am the master of online games.

In this case, if Shan Mufeng was afraid of Blizzard launching "World of Warcraft", Lin Feng would not act. Chi Huaimi never believed it. But no matter how powerful Lin Feng is. No matter how lofty its status in the online game industry is, the current Blizzard also needs to develop and grow. Online games are another hot game industry in the future. World of Warcraft is a must.

Announced the opening of "World of Warcraft" in April. After Yue Yue announced that the public beta test would be held in South Korea at the end of the year, Mike Yimohuaimi was always worried. result. In the middle of the month, I received a call from Lin Feng who wanted to visit the Blizzard headquarters.

When Mike Mohuayme received the call. There was a thud in my heart. all the time. all the time. He was worried about what attitude Lin Feng would take to the public beta of "World of Warcraft".

especially in. After witnessing Lam Fung's destructive sanction against China's "Back and Break League" last month, Mike Morwaimi's heart was chilled for a while. Lin Feng's method is too vicious, and he hurts people completely. It can be said that unless you have extremely strong capital, the sanctioned company will not have any power to resist.

Now, Lin Feng said that he would come to visit Blizzard. This is really not good news for Blizzard. Although Lin Feng kept saying that he came to visit, but Lin Feng, the king of the online game industry, the Taishan Beidou of the game industry, came to visit, would it be so simple to just visit? But can Blizzard refuse? cannot!

Leaving aside Lin Feng's series of revenge methods for being rejected, Blizzard couldn't refuse Lin Feng's request to visit just because the two companies jointly developed a brand new persuasion game engine ("World of Warcraft" engine). otherwise. Lin Feng only needs to hand over a pleading paper to the court, saying that this brand new Mi engine belongs to the "Second World. Exclusive property. Then it is enough for Blizzard to vomit blood. Although the two parties signed a complete agreement at the beginning, Blizzard will undoubtedly win. However, Lin Feng can delay the launch of "World of Warcraft" with a piece of paper, which is undoubtedly digging Blizzard's grave. Judging from Lin Feng's character, if you really refuse Lin Feng to visit Blizzard, plus In the public beta of "World of Warcraft", Lin Feng really might be able to do this.

Finally, after a short discussion with Blizzard executives. Decided to welcome Lin Feng to visit. As for the receptionist, except for the president Mike Mohuaimi. No one else fits.

"Mr. Lin. We've got everything ready, please!" Mike waved his hand, and a Chevrolet drove over in the distance.

"please". Lin Feng said humbly.

"Please!" Mike Morwaime took Lin Feng's hand and got into the car together.

Driving all the way, Lin Feng and Mike Yimohuaimi chatted about some vague topics in the car. But each other is testing each other's true intentions.

"Mr. Lin, here we are. This is the headquarters of our Blizzard. Mr. Lin, you must know that you are one of the few people who can come to visit the Blizzard headquarters!" Mike Morwaime looked confidently at the huge door at the gate of the Blizzard headquarters. The words "planing the old"!

Lin Feng followed Mike Mohuaimi into the gate of Blizzard Company. Along the way, advertisement signs of "World of Warcraft" could be seen everywhere in the Blizzard Company campus. Lin Feng nodded secretly when he saw it. I know that this "World of Warcraft" should be almost finished.

Although it has only been more than a month since the announcement of "World of Warcraft". But to know that it is improved, it can be said that there is no technical difficulty, and there are even similarities, but it needs to be networked. Coupled with Blizzard's technical strength, the development time of more than a month is more than enough.

Going further inside, Lin Feng saw various statues, all of which were statues of Blizzard's games. All of them are done extremely realistically, making people feel as if they are in the game. This also reminded Lin Feng that maybe his own company should do the same and make more statues for its games. Although for now. "Light of the Century. It is no longer possible to expand such a relatively large statue, but the square in front of "Light of the Century" is as empty as a field. If you add statues of the characters in its games, it will not only enhance the company's image. Improve the popularity, but also become a beautiful landscape. This is also a source of business improvement for the entertainment and leisure plaza on the ninth floor below the "Light of the Century".

Of course, the most important thing is to inspire the fighting spirit of the "second world" employees. After all, passing by the game statues of his company every day, nothing can replace the pride in my heart. For example, Xuan, when Mike Yimohuaimi passed by these statues, his face was full of brilliance, his confidence, his arrogance, made people stunned!

Afterwards, Lin Feng went to Mike Mohuaimi's office. Formal negotiations are finally about to begin.
