At the end of the 1990s, after accepting the capital from the Universal Group as a shareholding, it developed rapidly, and it continued to conquer cities and conquer the land, and its reputation became more and more famous.

Today, Blizzard is already a fairly well-known game company, and it is even known as an "industry benchmark" in the field of real-time battle games.

In 1994, the game "Warcraft 1", also known as "Warcraft 1: Humans and Orcs", opened the market as soon as it was launched;

In 1995, "Warcraft 2: Kuroshio" took only 10 months to complete. It was launched in the dark environment of the game market. In just 4 months, 500,000 sets were sold to the world. . The dazzling achievements have won the favor of countless investors in one fell swoop;

To this day.....

At the beginning of February 2002, the third game in the "Warcraft" series is about to be born!

As soon as the news came out, Warcraft fans all over the world were instantly excited and shouted...

On this day, Zucker also accepted the invitation and came to the city of Irvine, California, America, to participate in this grand ceremony.

This time, there were many people who followed Zhu Ke, including the president of the Baokai game company under his own name, and the three founders of the Baokai game company in the original time and space.

President of Popcap Games: Dave Roberts;

Dave Roberts has worked in Big Blue ibm and Microsoft, and is a professional manager with extensive experience. In the future, Baokai Games can successfully develop the "Plants vs. Zombies" game and be promoted to a first-class game company in one fell swoop. He is a great contributor.

The three founders of Popcap Games are John Veitch, Brian Fett, and former Apple computer engineer Jason Kaboca.

Among them, John Veitch is the most prominent, he is the soul of Popa games!

John Veitch is definitely a game genius, and when he was only 19 years old, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars by making games.

19 years old!

At this age,

Don't be busy studying, or busy falling in love, but what about him?

Just through a game made by myself, I have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is equivalent to millions of RMB.

To judge whether a person is a talent in the game, there is nothing more suitable than passing the market verification!

A game producer who cannot sell money cannot be said to be a talent, but a game producer who can sell money must be a talent!

The market is the hard-core standard for testing talents!

In the stretched luxury car, Zucker chatted with them.

"John, I heard your mother got divorced recently?" Zucker kept gossiping.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the car burst into laughter.

John Veitch's face was black: "Boss, do you know this too?"

"certainly!"

Zu Ke replied solemnly: "As a kind-hearted boss, it is undoubtedly a necessary process to care about the family status of subordinates. It is said that your mother has been married four times."

John Veitch: "..."

puff~

At this moment, Brian Fett laughed loudly and said, "Boss, you are wrong. Where have you been married only four times? John has a total of 7 stepfathers, plus his biological father, you can count How many times has his mother been married?"

Suddenly, Zu Ke's eyes widened.

man, this is awesome~

Jason Kaboca, a former Apple computer engineer, added: "No way, who made Aunt Lena look pretty?!"

That's right!

John Vitch's mother is very beautiful. She is obviously in her 40s, but she is not old at all. She looks like a little girl in her 20s.

In the face of the jokes of Zucker and others, John Vitch can only smash the jar, after all, he is used to it.

OMG!

Whose mother would divorce and marry so frequently? !

"Dave, how is the situation at Popcap Games now?" Zucker changed the subject.

Hearing this, Dave Roberts, the president of Baokai Games, immediately replied: "Boss, the company is operating fairly well. As of today, the company has more than 70 employees and 4 project development teams."

"Since its establishment, a total of 5 games have been produced and released, with a cumulative profit of more than 11 million US dollars."

"Especially in the fourth quarter of 2001, earnings were over $4 million."

......

A group of detailed data, from the mouth of Dave Roberts.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was fully prepared.

Since its establishment nearly two years ago, Baokai Games has made a profit of more than 11 million US dollars. In fact, it is already a very dazzling achievement. At least many small and medium-sized game companies are far from reaching this profit figure.

"good."

Zucker clapped his hands and said with a smile: "In the early days of Popcap Games, I only invested 5 million US dollars, and now I can make a profit of 11 million US dollars, which is very good."

This is something to be proud of!

Of course, Zucker is most concerned about the "Plants vs. Zombies" game. When will it be successful?

You must know that in the original time and space, just one "Plants vs. Zombies" game is worth more than 1 billion US dollars!

Zucker looked around the crowd and said loudly, "Dave, John, Brian, Jason, you have done a great job. I believe that in the near future, you will be able to become shareholders of the company."

Become a shareholder of a company?

In an instant, Dave Roberts and others couldn't sit still, and they all thanked Zucker.

Shares are always their concern!

Game director John Veitch said: "Boss, the reason why the company has been able to achieve profitability in a short period of time is not only our credit, but also thanks to the boss's care."

"That's right."

Brian Fett, one of the founders: "The elimination game "Bejeweled" is our independent creative and independently developed project, but the licensing of games such as "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man" The bulk of the company's real profits."

Movies, TV shows, novels, comics, music, games, peripherals...

All of the above constitute the current Hollywood profit model, and IP-based full copyright development can achieve maximum profit.

Why is Zucker jealous of Marvel?

Why are you obsessed with music, movies, and TV?

Including game companies...

Zu Ke's purpose is very clear, that is to improve the entertainment industry and develop Jinshuguang Entertainment Group into a top media group!

After a while, the convoy stopped and arrived in the city of Irvine smoothly.

At the reception of Blizzard, Messier, chairman of Vivendi Group, personally welcomed Zucker.

" "The first more is sent.
