Brandenbeck's studio has created the world's popular hero League, which has triggered a global e-Competition fever. According to Raptr's data, this MoBa game has always been the most popular work in the field of PC games in Europe and the United States. Before Andy crosses, 27 million players will experience the game every day.

Rabbit country's online games are all pits, especially those of fat penguins Andy also likes rolling a few, but he was too old to indulge in the game. He just spent his time for recreation, not for skin and cards. Tut, for qualifying, he cried and insisted on playing while giving away the head...

Andy looks at brandenbeck, a bearded man in front of him. He feels sorry that he was 100% owned by Penguin. After all, the fire in hero League is real, not only in rabbit country.

Andy also knows that if there is no previous dota to lay the groundwork, no fat penguin to spare no effort to promote, "hero League" may still be hot, but the time is hard to say. Of course, no one can ignore that "hero League" is a very excellent competitive online game.

Although Andy is not an iron fan of rolling, but such a lucrative game in front of him, said nothing will be let go.

When brandenbeck said what he wanted and handed him a thick stack of information, he was a little excited. After all, it was the original text and opened the background story of the game.

"In the land of runes, magic is everything.

Here, magic is more than a mysterious concept of energy. It is a solid substance that can be guided, shaped, shaped and manipulated. The magic of the land of signs has its own laws of nature. The results of random changes of source ecological magic change the scientific law.

There are several continents in the land of runes, but all life is concentrated in the largest magic continent, Valoran. The land of Valoran is located in the center of the land of Fuwen, which is the largest land of Fuwen

Alliance history, war academy, Knox, demacia, Bandar City, Ionia, Frederick, pierworth, bilgworth, Zuan, Megatron, shurima, shadow island.

A sketch and Jing Mei's renderings are constantly turning in Andy's hands.

Match system, talent system, rune system... Hayes technology booty bank.

There are also some hero image renderings. Andy watched them very quickly. He didn't expect that the fist company had been prepared to this extent for the game. Of course, it might just be implemented on paper. After all, it is necessary to find investors, and of course, it is necessary to make the information beautiful.

"Then, Mr. Baker, how much do you want? How many shares can I get? " Andy closes the data, presses his right hand on the top cover of the data, and directly asks,

"we value our company at $10 million, and are willing to put 50% of our shares into financing..."

Brandenbeck himself knows that he is a lion. It's bullshit to say that the current blockbuster game company is worth 10 million yuan. However, the team composed of several founders is very confident and has great confidence in the future of the game he wants to develop.

However, it is not so easy for investors to believe in financing and identify with what they think is valuable. Before that, he also found a lot of investors, and the results also disappointed him.

Investors who understand the game see that it is similar to the real-time strategy game dota launched by bingwa last year, while the creators of the leading game companies have the background of DOTA game development, which has to be questioned that the final game development may be a copycat.

So the game of Shanzhai has a lot of risks. Investors' money is not windswept, so they won't be optimistic about the project. Brandenbeck also understands that hero League is hard to get rid of the suspicion similar to dota. When he invested in the past, he tried his best to get rid of the blood relationship with dota through explanation, but later found it useless.

Facing Andy, who also owns a game company, Beck also knows that a lot of inspiration for hero League comes from Dao tower (no need to argue about this, and the designer of lol admits it).

In general, lol omits the details of DOTA, simplifies it, speeds up the game's fight rhythm, and increases the intensity of the game's confrontation.

But who is the best and who is the worst of these two games? Andy thinks that although these two games are similar, they still belong to two different games. They have their own strengths and do not need to be compared.

Andy naturally knows that this is a controversial issue in his previous life. But here, Andy is interested in the ice frog in brandenbeck's mouth. After all, the low-key and mysterious nature of the ice frog for many years makes people curious.

But before that, let's take down the fist game company. Andy doesn't need this money. Of course, brandenbeck's price must be unacceptable to him. As a businessman, hero League will be very popular in the future, but it's the future, not the present.

If you don't take advantage of the time when it's not worth money, it's a good chance to send your money to your door."5 million, 70% of the shares. I don't invest in this game, but in your excellent team. I also have a game company, and the operation is good. As a member of the industry, I believe that excellent teams can create great games. Your game is just a concept. I don't know whether it will generate profits in the future, but I'm willing to invest in your team

Andy's price reduction has long been thought of by brandenbeck. To be honest, developing games is not just a story. Someone can. They need money. They need enough money to operate. No one will stick to their dreams even if they can't eat their meals. Such idealists die on the eve of success.

Andy's investment plan is a little harsh, but within the acceptance range of their leading companies, they can't be choosy when money buys rice. Of course, it needs to go back to a meeting to discuss.

Before brandenbeck left, Andy said something to him, which was the main reason why brandenbeck finally went back to persuade other founders and teams to agree with Andy's investment plan.

"It's true that a good team can create a great game, but does the board of directors, investors, shareholders and executives of a company understand the concept?" Andy asked Brandon with a smile, didn't wait for him to answer, and then said: "because of many accounting standards for enterprises, these standards only recognize the IP, tangible assets and total assets of a company Assets, because these are related to stock price and valuation.

At present, there is no equivalent way to measure the way a company attracts, motivates and retains excellent teams. This is the problem faced by the game industry. I'm willing to believe in the value of your talents, and I'm willing to invest in your talents. What I bring is not only money, but also trust and encouragement, rather than the supervision that constrains your freedom. Believe me, we will work together to make a career! "

Looking at the figure of brandenbeck leaving, Andy's mouth slightly cocked up. He knew that this was basically a success. For procedural apes like them, Andy really knew their thoughts.

He doesn't make the mistake of taking talents as commodities and making games as treasures, which is why he is willing to share part of the copyright with the development team of Mockingbird game company.

As expected, Andy didn't surprise him. In the afternoon, he received a call from brandenbeck. After the discussion between the founders and the team, they accepted Andy's investment plan, with a share of $5 million and 70%.

The reason why Andy didn't buy all the shares directly is that it's not necessary now. At present, as long as we achieve the goal of fully controlling the fist company, we can ensure that the founders of the company have shares in the company. Eating alone is not good for the company.

Andy didn't know that in 2008, the fist company raised 8 million yuan from three investors, including fat penguin. How much money fat Penguin gave to get 22.5% of the shares, but he also understood the behavior of fat Penguin holding the fist company 100% later.

At that time, after all, "hero League" began to seize a certain market. As a fat penguin, it would not use its huge resources to promote a game company as a small shareholder.

Since we decided to buy it, and we are still an overseas company, to be honest, it's hard to believe that Lao meI won't be a moth without changing the original company's management structure. It's better to buy it out directly, then take out some soup and water and feed them back.

Even if we want to open the door to the management, we don't need to ask the opinions of other shareholders. The headquarters can directly control the game company with a single document. Of course, we can't rule out the reason why fat penguin has been eating alone for so many years in rabbit country.

Now that "hero League" is in hand, I have no interest in the sword tower of ice frog. How can it be possible? The problem is that this ice frog is a very difficult person. If I remember correctly, ice frog is still an employee of Villefort software company who has developed the game "half life".

Low key, mysterious, indifferent to fame and wealth...

The problem is that there are a lot of map makers in this game. If we want to buy it completely and form a company to run it, the cost and time will not be acceptable to Andy.

At present, the only feasible way is to establish a company with ice frog, just like Villefort software company, to develop knife tower 2, form the project of Du Li, and register the trademark of knife tower. Although facing the challenge of Blizzard, Andy is not worried about this. Blizzard is just howling, and there is no real threat.

So there should be no problem for brandenbeck to introduce himself to the mysterious ice frog.
