While Zhang Shuo was busy promoting the Hundred Talents Plan, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s ambitions continued.

March 16th.

On the second day after the launch of "Brain Master", Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment announced that the company had obtained the rights to use the characters, props, skills and other mobile games of the Blizzard series of games for a sky-high price of US$10 million.

It sounds strange.

A simple explanation is that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can introduce characters, props, skills, etc. from Blizzard games when making mobile games, and can even perform cartoon drawings.

But that's all.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment cannot directly transform Blizzard’s games into mobile games.

This is Blizzard's restricted area.

Even if the characters, props, skills, etc. from Blizzard games are used, when adapted and produced by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, they must be sent to Blizzard for review. Once it exceeds the scope of authorization, it will be banned.

The conditions are very harsh.

Even so, Jade Bird Entertainment still paid US$10 million.

no way.

Who said that Blizzard is still a big business now, unlike ten years later, it will be directly reduced to selling out to Microsoft.

But in fact, Jade Bird’s mutual entertainment is not bad at all.

With two popular mobile card games, "Hearthstone" and "Dota Legend", Zhang Shuo is confident that he can earn back the cost dozens of times.

Of course.

In addition to being authorized by Blizzard, "Dota Legend" also needs to be authorized by Valve.

It just hurts.

In addition to Valve, Zhang Shuo even instructed Cao Yanhua to contact Riot Games and try to obtain the authorization to adapt LOL's mobile game characters and props before Tenda controlled Riot Games.

if possible.

It’s not even impossible to consider investing in Riot Games and obtaining a portion of Riot Games’ shares.

Even if it is to cause trouble for Tengda.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was forced to spend a lot of money on overseas game giants just to solve future infringement problems. The only reason is that domestic games only know how to make money, and there are no decent PC games or 3A masterpieces at all.

Wait until conditions are ripe.

Zhang Shuo wanted to be a philanthropic boy for a time, and made the "Wukong Black Myth" in the original time and space at any cost, so as to avoid game science from releasing promotional videos every year and making people greedy every year.

There is just one problem.

The game science creation team left Tenda and is still with Tenda now.

As the overlord of games in the industry, Tenda has produced many high-quality game production teams. In addition to Game Science, there is also Lilith, the production company of "Dota Legend".

Then there is "Endless Showdown" which is copied from "King of Pesticide" overseas.

"Going to Tenda's home base to recruit people? It's quite exciting to think about it."

Zhang Shuo is now more and more comfortable facing a giant like Tengda.

…………

Tenda Building.

Tengda, who is worried about Zhang Shuo, has been very busy in the past week and has been in chaos internally, busy adjusting its organizational structure.

But this does not prevent them from continuing to pay attention to the sprout.

After the initial chaos, Tenda's new organizational structure has begun to take shape. At least it has been confirmed that Renyu will be in charge of the interactive entertainment business group and will still be responsible for Tenda's game business.

That's right.

At this time, Tenda's interactive entertainment business was basically limited to the gaming field and had not yet expanded to many branch fields such as online literature, animation, film and television dramas.

That will be another source of all evil.

"The ambitions of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the field of mobile games are getting bigger and bigger. They just acquired the mobile game adaptation rights of Jin Yong Martial Arts some time ago, and now they have reached out to Blizzard." Game business director Cao Xi is very worried.

Qingniao Huyu's movements were so fast that he was caught off guard.

Just very scared.

"No doubt, the wolf is already here!"

Isn't it that Renyu is afraid of Germination now?!

Regarding Bu Ya, what he is most afraid of is not Weixin, who is currently in the limelight. After all, ICQ has the backing, but what he is most afraid of is Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, a dark horse in the domestic gaming industry.

After being reminded by Lu Jian, Renyu has focused more attention on the field of mobile games.

But the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s dominance in the domestic mobile game market has actually exceeded Tenda’s dominance in the PC game field. It is already a giant beast lurking under the ice.

What's even more terrifying is...

This giant beast is not satisfied yet, and is still eating and accelerating its growth.

"How is the production of "Tiantian Parkour" going?" Renyu asked.

"It will be online in another month and a half at most."

Cao Xi was also very anxious. In order to catch up with the progress, he did not hesitate to make the people below work crazy overtime. Some programmers even worked for more than 20 hours continuously, breaking the record.

"That's good."

Renyu felt a little relieved. He also urgently needed to make a breakthrough in the field of mobile games to prove himself. As for how the people below worked overtime and vomited blood, that was not his concern.

He just wants results!

…………

Sprout Building.

Zhang Shuo also didn't know about Tengda's little thoughts. When Li Mingzhe reported to the company the next day, he specially invited him to the office for a chat.

"Do you have any suggestions for the Hundred Talents Plan?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"I can't say." Li Mingzhe only found out about Zhang Shuo's ambition after joining Moya. It's really hard to evaluate. "However, I can try to introduce my teacher to you."

"Are you talking about Mr. Tao?"

Zhang Shuo's eyes suddenly shone brightly, that person was a true academic leader, especially in the field of basic subject research, he was a first-class existence.

Its influence is by no means comparable to that of Dean Tong.

"It's his old man."

Li Mingzhe was a little hesitant, "But teacher, he doesn't like to deal with companies very much."

"The Hundred Talents Plan is only for budding projects. I have another, more ambitious plan on how to support domestic basic discipline research. Are you willing to listen to it?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.

"I'm all ears."

Li Mingzhe is actually quite curious about Zhang Shuo. He always feels like he doesn't look like an ordinary entrepreneur.

It's very special.

"In order to support domestic basic research, Sprout is willing to fund this amount in the next ten years." Zhang Shuo extended a palm.

"Five billion?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mingzhe was even more surprised and was overwhelmed by Zhang Shuo's generosity.

"No, it's 50 billion!"

Zhang Shuo's eyes were burning. If he wanted to make a breakthrough in basic subjects, how could a mere 500 million be effective?

"???"

Li Mingzhe even wondered if he heard wrongly or if Zhang Shuo was joking.

But no.

"Are you serious?" Li Mingzhe swallowed subconsciously.

"Of course!" Zhang Shuo stood up, found a document from the cabinet, which was the plan he had drafted, handed it to Li Mingzhe, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, take a look."

"Oh well."

Although he thought it was a fantasy, Li Mingzhe still took it and read it by mistake.

Fifty billion!

This was an astronomical figure that he had never dared to imagine before.

If the field of basic disciplines can really receive such financial support in the next ten years, then Li Mingzhe has reason to believe that domestic research on basic disciplines will definitely take a big step forward.

Although official annual education expenditures are huge, when broken down into basic subjects, there is not much left.

It’s a typical example of having too many monks and too little rice.

It’s not that 50 billion is really a huge sum of money for universities across the country, but it can be a catalyst and the icing on the cake to accelerate research in basic disciplines.
