Chapter 525 Good Things Take Time

After hanging up Wu Yingying's call, Wu Tao suddenly felt the need to go to the United States again.

No matter how well-developed the domestic game market is, without a few excellent games as core competitiveness, it is still untenable.

Especially in the absence of supervision in China, copycats have emerged.

If you act as an agent, I can also act as an agent, and the discount of my agent is even greater.

In this way, a price war will soon be fought, and the inferior will be left behind.

At that time, I finally leveled the domestic game market, but ended up making a wedding dress for someone else for nothing.

I can't find a place to cry.

This is not uncommon in the history of Internet development in previous lives.

Therefore, the top priority is that the "core" of this game company is indispensable, and it must be paid special attention to.

As for making games from scratch, it is naturally reduced to the last choice.

After all, there are shortcuts to go, why not try it.

After some thought, Wu Tao made a decisive decision.

Just at this time, Shi Qianxue also finished making the phone call, came out from the study happily, then stood in front of him, and said triumphantly: "It's all done!"

Seeing the meaning of asking for credit on that face, I almost taped the words "You want to reuse me" on my forehead.

Wu Tao immediately waved his hand, "Okay, don't show off. I will leave the organization of this Internet summit to you. If you need anything, please contact Mr. Qin of Tianqi Investment directly."

"Oh yeah!" Shi Qianxue excitedly raised her arms high and clenched her fists tightly, with the excitement of getting what she wanted, she didn't even know that her flat and tight belly was exposed outside.

But Wu Tao didn't read much, his attention is now on the information about Valve.

Since we plan to dig people and projects from here, it is necessary to know ourselves and our enemies.

In short, this time there is no room for loss.

After such a careful look, Wu Tao noticed that Wu Yingying only noticed the other party when Valve Software was looking for game publishers everywhere.

Moreover, Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington, the founders, were both old employees of Microsoft, and the relationship with their old clubs was handled very well.

The engine they use to develop the game is authorized through Microsoft's relationship.

This means that Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington, like Alan Adhan, are probably not willing to be inferior to others and work for others, but are more inclined to do their own business .

After all, a big company like Microsoft didn't keep them, and the new game company he founded, even if he said he would go to hell, he couldn't fool them.

It seems that my initial judgment was correct.

When Shi Qianxue came back to her senses, she found that Wu Tao had already called someone to book a ticket for him.

"Are you going to America yourself?"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?" Wu Tao made up his mind, and he was also determined to win Li Ming, the father of CS.

In the middle of the night, Wu Tao was awakened by a rapid ringtone of his mobile phone in his sleep.

When I picked it up, it was Wu Yingying calling from Seattle.

The voice was exhausted: "Boss, the Mr. Li Ming you mentioned, Valve currently does not have this person."

Wu Tao was taken aback, did he remember wrongly?

After thinking about it, it is very possible that I have misremembered. What's more, once Li Ming has joined Valve, doesn't it mean that the copyright of Counter-Strike has been owned by Valve?

In this way, since Valve has found no such person, it means that he still has a chance.

So Wu Tao was not only not discouraged, but he said with high spirits: "You find a way to investigate online, and focus on searching for the guy whose ID is Gooseman."

Wu Yingying responded and hung up the phone.

GooseMan couldn't find it, but Wu Tao couldn't fall asleep.

Good things always take too long.

In my impression, there is not much information about the goose man Li Ming, and now I can only hope that Wu Yingying's tracing operation will be effective as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Wu Yingying did not disappoint him.

The second call came twelve hours later.

At that time, Wu Tao was lying on the sofa taking a nap. When he saw that the call was from abroad, he sat up in shock.

"Hello, Yingying, how are you doing?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Yingying's excited voice quickly came, "I found it, I found it!"

"That's great!" Wu Tao slapped his thigh excitedly.

"But, boss, are you sure you are looking for him?" Wu Yingying's hesitant voice followed.

Wu Tao confirmed the ID name with Wu Yingying again. After all, there are not many people with the name GooseMan, so they can basically be sure, "It's him, what's wrong?"

Wu Yingying thought for a while, and then she said carefully, "When we met for the first time, I had a very general impression of him, and he didn't feel like he could be entrusted with important tasks."

When she said this, Wu Yingying's tone was very tactful, implying that this person is actually not very good.

But she is very clear that her opinion will directly affect the boss's decision-making to a large extent.

After hearing this, Wu Tao didn't respond, but asked, "Is he a programmer?"

"It's a programmer." Wu Yingying continued, "But he's not doing anything like Counter-Strike. When I asked him, he was very baffled."

Wu Tao slapped his head, but he didn't do it!

The Half-Life game hasn't been released yet, and the Counter-Strike, a new module based on the Half-Life expansion mode and interface platform, naturally cannot exist.

As for the release time of the shooting game Half-Life, it will be about half a year later.

If you wait until the Counter-Strike mods come out naturally, you may have to wait a few more months.

This kind of thing must not be passively waited, otherwise Valve will take the lead, and it will be too late to regret.

What's more, Half-Life hasn't been released yet.

If Counter-Strike can be launched first based on a similar engine and platform, the potential copyright and platform disputes will naturally disappear.

In this way, this is a good opportunity.

At least I have taken the lead on my side. After thinking about this, Wu Tao immediately decided: "You stabilize Li Ming first, and I will fly over in a few days. We will meet and discuss the specific situation later!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tao's thoughts became clearer.

Originally, he wanted to use money to start a game company, but in the end, he still had to build one down-to-earth.

Thinking about it, I can't help feeling a little tired.

But having said that, I can't help being a little excited when I think of being able to participate in the design and creation of the three classic games Counter-Strike.

Now I found a pen and paper, and recorded the character design, battle mode, map type, game goal, and the change information of the previous and previous versions of Counter-Strike to the greatest extent possible.

Fortunately, my favorite game in my previous life was Counter-Strike. So writing is effortless and well organized.
