"By the way, there is also the League of Legends game, how is it developing now?" Speaking of Honor of Kings, Cao Yang suddenly remembered League of Legends.

Since the new dota was launched last year, Cao Yang has used this game as a strategic reserve target for Bingfrog and the others to develop it.

But I didn't pay much attention to it later.

"Well... I'm sorry, I just missed it." Li Lanyun flipped through his notebook and said, "The completion level of League of Legends is now relatively high, and it is expected that it will definitely meet the online standards by the end of this year.

But when will it be launched, I am still waiting for your decision.”

It was precisely because it was not included in the plan that Li Lanyun skipped it and originally wanted to wait for the complete development of League of Legends and report to the boss after passing the test.

Yes, Cao Yang also made this request himself.

Because he was not sure when he would release this grand strategic weapon.

The game is developed quite quickly. After all, it has the foundation of DOTA. Except for the combat underlying needs to be redesigned and developed (of course, even if it is redesigned and developed, the program functions are supported.) Art resources need to be remade, everything else is very fast.

Moreover, Meng Xiao's team is very good at touching BA games. Although the time is short, the development efficiency is extremely high. In addition, League of Legends only needs to use the Summoner's Canyon map at the beginning, which is equivalent to reducing the workload of art a lot, so it is naturally faster to do it.

Cao Yang is not surprised at all now that he can finish this time.

...

Fortunately, Riot Company has not been able to create League of Legends for some reason, which has given Bomi some chance to start.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. After all, many things have changed after rebirth.

The impact of the butterfly effect produced is more complicated than Cao Yang imagined.

The development of League of Legends in previous lives is inseparable from the Penguin company.

It can be said that without Penguins there would be no fists and there would be no League of Legends.

As early as 2008, when LOL was still developing, Penguin began to invest in Riot Company and became a shareholder of Riot Company, accounting for 20% of the shares.

In February 2011, Penguin spent US$231 million to acquire 92.78% of the shares of Riot Company, basically undermining Riot Company. The LOL national server started public beta at about the same time.

In other words, Penguin has made a lot of efforts in the development of LOL. Even at the beginning, the penguins are losing money. It is not what players think. Penguin sees LOL making money, so it becomes the agent of LOL.

Rather than saying that LOL was designed by Riot Company, it was developed by Riot Studio, a subsidiary of Penguin. From this point of view, I have to admire Penguin's strategic vision.

Although Penguin has begun to invest in Riot in the R&D stage and has become Riot's largest shareholder step by step. However, in order to ensure the quality of Riot's development games, Penguin still retains the autonomy of Riot's company and leaves the development rights and operation rights to Riot's company. Riot's company is equivalent to a Penguin Studio that can operate independently.

Riot Company was born in 2006. When it was developing "Strong Attack", the predecessor of "League of Legends", he encountered financial difficulties. At that time, Riot Company was just a small studio that was "not dry" and needed a lot of financial and technical support.

Penguin has already gained a foothold in China and has strong funds. At that time, Riot Company was not favored by other game companies in the United States, and Penguin Company also took a try-out attitude.

At that time, most of Penguin's games came through agents, lacking creative game studios, having money but no place to use them, while Fist had ideas but lacked money. The two sides met again at the game exhibition and immediately "feeling in love" and hit it off, so today's League of Legends was created.

Penguin’s acquisition of Riot Company is a process of constantly spending money. The good operation of League of Legends is also due to Riot’s independent operation.

What Riot gets is sufficient R&D funding, while Penguin gets the hot game "League of Legends".

If Penguin had not picked the "good horse" of Fist, there would have been no later League of Legends. At the same time, Penguin also increased Penguin's international influence through the game "League of Legends", so it is a win-win situation.

And in this life, the penguin is Cao Yang himself.

If he didn't throw his fist, the capital chain of his fist would be extremely tight, and it would be normal for the game to be affected.

Take a step back and say that if Riot really made this game, Cao Yang’s understanding of Riot’s company is actually very naive in commercialization, and he is also thinking about how to sell props in the game to make money.

By then, I will only die in vain.

Moreover, the reason why LOL was able to rise in the previous life was largely because of Penguin's operation. Penguin has the most powerful operation team and publicity channels in China, and has strong funds behind it. It is in this case that Penguin keeps burning money inside to build League of Legends.

If Ding Sanshi had the same courage and had burned NetEase’s own touch-ba game to burn money, then it would be another story.

Cao Yang has not heard any reports on the birth of League of Legends abroad, so this should be considered a good thing.

It also shows that Penguin's influence in the past is indeed very strong. Now that Cao Yang has not intervened, Riot's League of Legends is worrying.

Cao Yang thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote the name of the Japanese company on Li Lanyun's notebook, and then went to specific places in the United States.

"You should pay more attention to this company and see if they have been developing competitors similar to our company's League of Legends recently. If so, pass the news to me and I will find someone to acquire them."

This is extremely domineering and is also the most common sentence Bomi Company said when training newcomers to gamers

If you are worried that your ideas and games you have made will infringe, you should report to your superiors as soon as possible, or contact the company's legal department, and they will find ways to acquire the other party.

A simple sentence

Bomi Company is not short of money.

As long as you want to do, the company supports it.

If someone else did it first, we bought it.

Li Lanyun looked at the name on the book and nodded silently.

...

"Boss, if nothing else is going to happen, we will leave first." Li Lanyun and Lai Yuling stood up and said goodbye.

Cao Yang smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys go and do it."

After the two left, Cao Yang called Liu Guangran to the conference room.

...

"How is it? This trip to Xiangjiang?" Cao Yang said to him with a smile.

When the two of them are alone, they are obviously much more relaxed.

Liu Guangran is considered a veteran subordinate of Cao Yang. After all, he has been together for almost ten years. In private, he may have a little more of his friends.

Hearing Cao Yang's question, Liu Guangran recalled his experience of going to Xiangjiang this time and nodded silently.

"Yeah, that's amazing."

Cao Yang couldn't help but laugh.

What the hell is this so awesome?

Some people say that travel is amazing?

In fact, this time during this trip to Xiangjiang, Ai Xiaomi reported to the boss after returning. Cao Yang had some understanding of the whole process, but the details were not very clear.

Moreover, Ai Xiaomi didn't say that on the night in the hotel, Liu Guangran came to her for questions.

"I saw so many big-name stars." Liu Guangran sighed, "All of them are my childhood goddesses."

"puff……"

Cao Yang couldn't help laughing, "I'm still a childhood goddess, you're not much older than them, right?"

Overall, the results of this trip to Xiangjiang were really beyond Cao Yang's expectations.

Originally, this movie was made in the form of charity, and Cao Yang himself did not think about making money, he just wanted to lose less.

However, when discussing the list of actors with Ai Xiaomi, Cao Yang knew in his heart that it must be finished and could not stop it.

At least 1 billion is going to be spent inside.

The main reason is that the list of actors is full of big names, and the actors at the highest level account for the vast majority of them. Think about it, how much does it cost?

It will cost a lot of publicity in the future.

So what Cao Yang told Ai Xiaomi at that time was that money doesn’t matter, and things that money can do are nothing.

Give as much as you want, as long as you can shoot this movie according to your ideals.

Of course, Ai Xiaomi also talked with this mentality.

What's the result?

In addition to some old actors who do have problems in life, or supporting actors who need some pay, many celebrities say they can play for free, or Bomi Company will use the corresponding remuneration for charity and will not receive any penny.

What kind of a group of actors with moral integrity and integrity are these?

After hearing about this, Cao Yang sighed in great magnitude.

Compared with some unscrupulous artists in China, they are really much stronger.

Moreover, he believes that even if these celebrities don’t want pay, he still needs to give it, but as they said, they have to use it for charity and not get a penny.

...

Cao Yang chatted with Liu Guangran for a while, and when he heard what happened in Xiangjiang, he was also happy.

The atmosphere in the conference room is quite good.

However, what Liu Guangran did not expect was that in the gap of silent sighing, Boss Cao ended the topic, then changed his subject and began to ask about the work of Bomi Research Institute.

"Have the previous three projects been completed?"

"Why?"

Liu Guangran was stunned for a moment, as if he had not yet come back to his senses from the warm atmosphere just now.

The boss's face became so fast.

"Ahem, let me see."

Liu Guangran quickly sat down and since he was talking about work, he still had to look like a job.
