Chapter 1005 I want the strongest Blizzard

Lin Feng arrived at Mike Mowaimi's office.

Mike Mowaimi's office is in the style of a Blizzard Entertainment campus, filled with the atmosphere of Blizzard Entertainment's games. There are statues of "Juggernaut" and "Fallen Angel" from "Warcraft 3" on the table, and on the walls

Promotional posters for "World of Warcraft" are also posted on the room, and the room is full of game elements. It seems less like a president's office and more like a game fan's room. However, this also proves that Blizzard Entertainment is unique in recruiting talents-

—Only recruit talents who play games. If the programmers you recruit can’t play games and don’t have a lot of time to play games a day, Blizzard will definitely not want them.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down!" Mike Mowaimi entered the office with a comfortable look on his face, as if he was not in the office but at home.

"Mike, your office is nice. It must be very happy to work in an office like this every day." Lin Feng smiled and pointed at the various stickers on the surrounding walls.

Mike Mowaimi nodded.

"This is our purpose at Blizzard. Only those who know how to play games know how to make games that the world will love." Mike Mowaimi said with great pride.

Lin Feng smiled. In this regard, his company is similar to Blizzard. Lin Feng also requires all employees in its eight major game development departments to spend at least 4 hours a day playing games, and allows them to play games during working hours.

As long as the task can be completed within the specified time, it will be fine.

After some casual chat, Mike Mowaimi's expression changed.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have any advice for coming here this time?" Mike Mohuaimi is also a gamer. Although he is currently responsible for management, he still adheres to the consistent concept of designing games - being able to design a game with one line of code.

The game screen will never use two lines. The same is true for his management. He doesn't want to talk nonsense. For every nonsense, maybe he can type one more line of code!

When Lin Feng heard this, his expression became serious and he stopped talking nonsense.

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

.

"Further cooperation?" Mike Mowaimi murmured a few words. Indeed, the two parties had cooperated very happily before. The newly developed 3D engine undoubtedly filled the vacancy of "World of Warcraft" and allowed the smooth development of "World of Warcraft"

. Blizzard is very satisfied with this cooperation, and has the idea of ​​​​further cooperation. You must know that "Second World" has things that external game companies need very much. For example, Jade developed "Second World" for "Second World".

Human body mechanics system", as well as the most important "cloud computing" and the supercomputer paired with "cloud computing".

These things are all urgently needed by the outside world. Especially for game companies determined to focus on online games, "cloud computing" and the supercomputers paired with "cloud computing" are very tempting. In Lin Feng

After getting the servers for 10,000 people in advance, this poses a difficult problem for global online game service providers - that is, how to make their servers able to withstand the interconnection of more than 10,000 people.

As a game development company, it is not difficult to connect tens of thousands of people to the Internet, as long as the capacity is increased during design. But for game service providers, it is really troublesome.

The first is the network problem, whether it can withstand such a large amount of data traffic. Of course, at present, the network speed in developed countries has long been accelerated, and the download traffic per second has already exceeded 4m. Watching high-definition movies online is not a problem. As for the load of the network

The traffic of the game is not a problem.

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

Secondly, and the most important problem is the load problem of the server. At present, the best online game server in the world (except for the online game server under the "Second World") can withstand the maximum number of people online. If you want to go further,

It is difficult to increase the number of people online. This is a problem for all online game companies (except for "Second World"). At present, the industry only has the "cloud computing" of "Second World" and its supporting software.

Supercomputers have the ability to solve this problem and can increase the maximum number of people online at one time by more than 10 times.

Especially with the "Second World"'s unique "dynamic automatic ignoring and compensation" technology, its maximum number of people online can be doubled several times. Of course, for now, apart from the "Second World", there is no such thing in the world.

Any game company has mastered this technology, and "Second World" has never transferred its use rights.

Finally, there is the performance of the player's computer. However, this is both a problem and not a problem. Driven by the "Moore's Law" in the computer industry, the performance of the player's computer will continue to improve with Moore's Law. Especially in increasingly realistic games.

Driven by game graphics, the improvement of computer performance has a tendency to surpass "Moore's Law". It can be said that this is not a problem.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder what you mean by further cooperation?" Mike Mowaimi said thoughtfully.

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

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

Lin Feng's words made Mike Mohuaimi's face freeze. He did not expect that what Lin Feng said would be these words. Lin Feng actually wanted to raise money for Blizzard, which was something Mike Mohuaimi never expected.

In Mike Mohuaimi's view, Lin Feng's trip must be for "World of Warcraft". "World of Warcraft" uses a 3D engine jointly developed by both parties. For "World of Warcraft", Mike Mohuaimi believes that "

"Second World" should be understood, and it should be possible to speculate on the prospects of "World of Warcraft". Lin Feng's visit this time, in Mike Mowaimi's opinion, should be to obtain the copyright of "World of Warcraft" in mainland China. But unexpectedly

, but Lin Feng was so open-minded that he actually wanted Blizzard.

This appetite is too much!

"Mr. Lin, Blizzard is the hard work of me and all the 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.

It is a formal game company, it is like our child. You said, there is no reason for parents to sell their children! Besides, Blizzard is not short of money at present, let alone game talent." Mike Mowaimi refused.

Lin Feng heard this, but he was not discouraged. This had long been expected by Lin Feng. If Mike Mowaimi sold Blizzard to him based on his own words, it would be too childish, and Blizzard would also look like a child.

Too worthless.

"Mike, I admit that Blizzard is one of the best game companies in the industry. But you should also understand that in the online game industry, Blizzard will never be the best game company. Because of my 'second world',

My 'Second World' is the best game company in the online game industry." Lin Feng did not shy away and said confidently.

Lin Feng's words are extremely harsh. But Mike Mo Huaimi must admit that what Lin Feng said is true. In the gaming industry, "Second World" can only be said to be one of the best companies in the gaming industry, but in terms of

As for the online gaming industry, it can be said that the "Second World" currently has no rivals.

Relying on "cloud computing" and supercomputers, as well as "dynamic automatic ignoring and compensation" technology, "Second World" has an industry-leading position that cannot be surpassed by other companies.

"Mike, don't you hope that "World of Warcraft" can have hundreds of thousands of people playing on the same server? In the war between the Horde and the Alliance, don't you hope that tens of thousands of people can fight on the vast plains! I can provide it'

The right to use cloud computing and supercomputers will be given to your company." Lin Feng threw out his only and most deadly bait.

Mike Mowaimi was stunned when he heard this.

Yes, if the Alliance and the Horde could fight with tens of thousands of people, what a spectacular scene it would be. Just thinking about that scene makes people excited. This is also the most coveted aspect of "cloud computing". For any network

As far as games are concerned, if tens of thousands of people fight in the game, the scene and grand occasion will be amazing and enviable.

No online game company can resist such a 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 flagship games are "StarCraft", "Diablo" and "Warcraft". "World of Warcraft" is just an online game that has not yet been born. Whether it is Blizzard's confidence or everyone's opinion of Blizzard

Judging from the emotions, there are sufficient reasons to resist this temptation.

Blizzard is proud of Blizzard! Blizzard people, just 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 firmly believing in making our own games can we make the best games."

Game." Mike Mowaimi said.

Lin Feng smiled when he heard this. Lin Feng was already prepared for Mike Mowaimi's repeated rejection. After all, such a successful company had 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 will take time, and it will take a lot of time. But if

With my help, my funds, and my technology, I believe that in a very short period of time, Blizzard will become the best game company in the industry, bar none!" Lin Feng said.

Mike Mowaimi frowned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so interested in Blizzard. He had rejected it repeatedly, but Lin Feng still didn't give up.

"Mr. Lin, please forgive me. Blizzard has always only wanted to make the best games and make the best games on the planet for players. We have never thought about competing with any company. Our purpose is always only one -

Make games that you like to play and games that players like to play! That’s all! We never care about the rest. As for those excellent technologies, we are lucky to have them, but if we can’t have them, I believe it will only be temporary.

.In the future, Blizzard will definitely own it!" Mike Mowaimi said without being arrogant or humble.

When Lin Feng heard this, he tapped his fingers. It seemed that it was really hard to persuade Mike Mowaimi. After thinking about it, Lin Feng stood up.

"Mike, in this case, we can't continue talking today. But I want to remind you that I will never give up on Blizzard, never! You'd better have this awareness!" After saying that, Lin Feng stood up.

Mike Mohuaimi's face froze. He did not expect that Lin Feng was so stubborn and had such great ambitions for Blizzard and was so strong.

"Mr. Lin, can you please allow me to say something? In fact, our two companies can still have further cooperation. For example, your company provides 'cloud computing' and supercomputer usage rights, and our company can provide the mainland area of ​​"World of Warcraft"

, even the copyright in the Asia-Pacific region, and of course, we can also hand over the purchasing rights to all servers for "World of Warcraft" to your company." Mike Mowaimi said to retain.

He is really eager for "cloud computing". Very eager! Especially after designing "World of Warcraft", he is even more eager for "cloud computing". However, he once consulted Wu Zhaopu about cooperation in this area, but he was rejected by Wu Zhaopu without hesitation.

Refuse. 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, if I want the right to use 'cloud computing' and supercomputers, I will never give it to any company except 'my own'. Mike, think about it carefully.

I believe that if our two companies cooperate, we will be able to create a big scene." Lin Feng stood up and walked out.

Mike Mo Huaimi sighed helplessly and could only bid farewell to Lin Feng. Just when Lin Feng was about to walk out of the blizzard gate, Mo Huaimi couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Lin, please forgive me for asking why you care so much about Blizzard! I'm not deprecating myself. The strength of your 'second world' is far above that of Blizzard, both in terms of economic strength and technical strength.

"Hey, why do you care so much about Blizzard?" Mike Mowaimi asked the question in his heart.

He really didn’t understand why Lin Feng insisted on acquiring Blizzard. Although Blizzard’s “StarCraft”, “Warcraft” and “Diablo” were very famous and created an era of gaming, the “Second World” of “Legendary”

", "Counter-Strike Online", "Farm Frenzy", and "Virtual Life" also created an era, and even more so than Blizzard's games.

As for "World War" and "Infinite Horror" that "Second World" will launch in the future, they are highly anticipated by players and are known as the most anticipated games by players in the next ten years. In this case, why does Lin Feng care so much?

Blizzard, why! Why!

When Lin Feng heard this, he stopped, looked at the sky, and sighed.

"Mike, what I, Lin Feng, want to do is to be the best game company in the world. There is no one. It is the best game company in the world. It can show a real virtual world to all players. And I want to be the best game company.

, we must have Rong Naida. I think Blizzard is a very good company in the industry, and I need the power of Blizzard to help me achieve this wish." Lin Feng said confidently.
