Chapter 290 Blizzard’s Cooperation

Mike Mohami saw Lin Feng's expression.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, I don't know how your company manages it, but at Blizzard, we don't value employee discipline very much. We will not suppress our employees' nature. Game programmers need not discipline, but creation. Creation comes from life. Anyone who is well-organized, rigid and uninterested will not have any creativity." Mike Mohamimi seemed to see Lin Feng's doubts and explained with a proud smile.

Lin Feng nodded deeply as he realized something.

Then the two arrived at Mike Mohami's office.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have any advice for Blizzard this time." Mike Mohammy asked with a smile.

"Mike, then I'm just talking nonsense. I'm here this time to ask if Blizzard has an independently developed 3D engine? Or is it preparing to develop a 3D engine?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.

Mike Mohamma was slightly stunned and secretly guessed what Lin Feng meant.

"Mike, you and I should all understand that future computer games belong to the 3D world, and an excellent 3D game cannot be separated from an excellent 3D engine. Is your company interested in developing a better 3D engine?" Lin Feng continued.

"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, 'Second World' just acquired 'valve'. Isn't their 'havok engine' an excellent 3D engine?" Mike Mohamim said lightly.

"Mike, the 'havok engine' is good, but I need a simpler and more optimized 3D engine. I believe your company must have plans for this, or it is already developing it." Lin Feng guessed.

Mike Mohammad felt nervous. Blizzard is indeed developing its own 3D engine. Blizzard will launch "Warcraft 3 Chaos Governor" next summer. At the same time, it is developing a 3D action game called "Starcraft - Ghost". It naturally has its own 3D engine, but I don't know where Lin Feng knows it.

"Yes, we do have our own 3D engine technology. I don't know what Mr. Lin Feng means..." Mike Mohami admitted frankly after hesitating.

"Haha, now the industry is the only one in the industry. I hope to develop a better 3D engine technology than "Unreal 2", but it cannot be done by ours alone, so I want to cooperate with Blizzard." Lin Feng said.

"Cooperate, how to cooperate?" Mike Mohamma was excited. Blizzard's 3D engine technology has been unsatisfactory due to technology limitations, and it is very urgent to need an extremely excellent 3D engine. However, because Blizzard's game concept is different from most 3D game companies on the market, Blizzard's philosophy is to allow mainstream configurations to play all Blizzard's games, so Blizzard did not buy engines like "Unreal 2" that pursue gorgeous pictures too much. Now without a breakthrough in technology, Blizzard can only try to optimize.

"valve"'s "havok engine" is highly favored by Blizzard. He once intended to purchase the right to use its 3D engine technology, but then a copyright dispute with "valve" and Xueleshan Company, coupled with the subsequent merger with "Second World", Blizzard put the matter aside. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came to the door today.

"We share resources, I provide the 'havok engine'. Your company provides your 3D engine for joint development, and then share the 3D engine technology." Lin Feng said with temptation.

Mike Mohammad's eyes lit up. Although the "havok engine" is not the best engine in the industry, it is famous for its smooth motion pictures and refreshing excitement, which coincides with Blizzard's concept. Blizzard is now stronger than optimization, and the two companies can indeed complement each other. But no matter how you look at it, it is their own company that takes advantage of this aspect, and Lin Feng has no reason to be so kind.

"Haha, the development fund is borne by your company. I think with the current leading technology of 'havok engine', this condition is not too much!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Mike Mohami nodded, this request was not too much.

"Also, after the new engine is successfully researched, I will account for 60% of the future profit sharing." Lin Feng expressed his requirements.

Mike Mohammy frowned. Although Blizzard still was not too disadvantageous, Mike Mohammy would not easily agree to this condition.

In the end, after the two bargained, "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" reached an agreement to jointly develop a new 3D engine. In the end, "Second World" held 55% of the ownership and Blizzard Entertainment's company held 45%.

Once the news of "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" collaborating on developing a new 3D engine was announced, it caused a big sensation in the industry. Both are the most popular computer game companies in recent years, and this cooperation is a strong alliance. Many giants in the gaming industry lament that the computer 3D game market will be in full swing again in the future.

Previously, "id-software" firmly sat on the throne of the 3D game boss with the 3D engine technology of "Thor's Hammer". As a result, before his butt was hot, he was surpassed by Epic's "Unreal" engine. Epic took over the baton of "id-sofware" and became the best 3D game company in the computer game industry. Now it seems that Epic's boss may not be able to sit for long.

The one who was most surprised by the joint development of the new 3D engine of "Second World" and "Blizzard Entertainment" was naturally the president of Epic Mark. He just refused Lin Feng's purchase of the technology use of his company's "Unreal 2" engine. Unexpectedly, just one day later, Lin Feng reached a cooperation agreement with "Blizzard Entertainment" to jointly develop the 3D engine, which was like slapping him hard.

Next summer! Mark has learned that next summer "Half-Life 2" and "Blizzard Entertainment" "Warcraft 3" will be launched at the same time. Mark is also preparing to release his "Unreal 3" at the same time, so that the market can prove who has a better 3D engine and who is the overlord of the computer 3D gaming industry!

Mark tightened the teacup in his hand hatefully.

After reaching an agreement with Mike Mohammed, Lin Feng strolled on the streets of Irving City with clean and refreshing roads, green sidewalks everywhere, and reasonable urban layout. This is the first time Lin Feng has arrived in such a dream-like city. No wonder in the United States, most wealthy people live in this small city, which makes sense. Living here can last for a long time. Of course, although the city is small, the land price is not cheap. Ordinary people really can't afford it. House prices are not much cheaper than Silicon Valley, where every inch of land is valuable.

Rich people live in the "country" and poor people live in the city. - The living habits in the United States are really correct.

Lin Feng walked casually on the street and unexpectedly saw an old man walking leisurely on the streets of Irvine, accompanied by his family, pointing at the surrounding buildings from time to time.

What a joy of family! - Seeing this family so happy, Lin Feng seemed to be infected with their happiness, and he couldn't help but think of his parents who were far away in Chu City. It was time for him to go back to Chu City. Since he arrived in Shanghai, Lin Feng has only been back once. Especially after the "9/11" incident, because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for his parents (after all, he would definitely cause a big sensation when he went back now), Lin Feng just called to report his safety. He wanted to take his parents to Shanghai, but neither of his elders were willing to go to Shanghai. Ye Luo returned to his roots, so how could he leave his hometown when he got old?

In the end, Lin Feng had to compromise with the two elders' persistence.

There are also those relatives, although there were some misunderstandings in the past, they should not hold too much grudges now, and they should be tolerant. Maybe they should buy a house for them in Chu City so that everyone can live together. Of course, they will definitely not live under the same roof, which will cause more trouble. Lin Feng was thinking in his heart whether to learn from the "English Golden Boy" Irving, to buy a street, so that many relatives and parents can live in it. In this way, everyone will be able to take care of it and will not cause unnecessary conflicts because of living under the roof. With his current financial resources, although he is still "poor", it is more than enough to buy a street in a low-developed second-level city in Chu City compared to purchasing companies.

"Young man!" Just as Lin Feng was thinking, the old man shouted at Lin Feng.

"Uh, this old gentleman, are you calling me?" Lin Feng was slightly stunned, not sure, and pointed at himself and asked.

"Haha, it's you, young man, I ask you, what do you think of this city?" The elderly nodded and asked. The children around them shook their heads with helpless smiles.

"Haha, old man, this city is simply the city of my dreams. I think if I could live in such a city, it would definitely be the happiest thing in my life!" Lin Feng said without exaggeration.

After hearing this, the elderly smiled and looked proud.

"Haha, this gentleman, sorry, this is my father William Pereira, who is the designer of this city." The middle-aged man next to the elderly explained, but he could not suppress his pride in his words.

Lin Feng was shocked. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him was the designer of this dream city. It is really admirable to design such a dream city.

Lin Feng felt a burst of praise from the bottom of his heart, and the elderly had a stronger look in their eyebrows.

"Haha, sir, I'm sorry. My father is already 73 years old and looks a bit like a child, but this is indeed a great and admirable project." Pereira's son was embarrassed and continued to explain.

Lin Feng smiled and said he didn't mind. People who are old are like children, and it is indeed worthy of being able to design such an ideal city. Lin Feng suddenly felt aroused.

"Mr. Pereira, please forgive me for taking the liberty. Can I ask you a question?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

"Tell me, kid!" William Pereira said with a smile.

"Mr. Pereira, my company wants to build a building that represents the image and style of our company, so that it can make people know that it is a building of our company at a glance. But everyone has no unified opinions, and they don't even know what kind of architect should be hired. I wonder if you can give me some advice?" Lin Feng asked respectfully.

"Sir, I'm really sorry, my father is old, in this regard..." Pereira's son was afraid that his father would cause any disease he would use his brain again because he was old, so he quickly dissuaded him.
