Chapter 206 Blizzard and Jack Ma

At the University of California, Los Angeles, three young people suppressed their excitement and sat across from Liu Zhiyuan.

"Mike, Alan, Frank, do you have confidence in yourself?"

The era of Internet gaming is an era where all the heroes are coming together. EA, Valve, Ubisoft, Rockstar, and CDPR are all killing each other, but in the end, it is these three young people who sit on the throne of Internet gaming. Activision Blizzard, who in the world

Don’t people know?

Diablo, World of Warcraft, Warcraft, StarCraft... there are so many classic masterpieces that every gamer has played games from this company.

People call themselves a rare genius, but he himself understands what he relies on. He is actually just an ordinary person, but the three young people in front of him are different. They are not time travellers. In 1991, it was 2 years

Later, these three young people founded a company "Silicon and Synapse".

Three years later, an eternal masterpiece was born. Warcraft appeared. The following year, Diablo was released. More than 1 million units were sold in 18 days. Soon the sales exceeded 2 million. That was

PC console sales. In 1996, not many people owned PC computers. You can imagine how terrifying this sales volume was.

The key is that there was no such thing as anti-piracy at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that 30% of PC owners in the world paid for this game. If the platform was switched to a home console that was anti-theft, it would be too easy to sell over 100 million copies.

, it is a pity that Diablo at that time did not have the opportunity to land on the home console.

"Yes! We are very confident in ourselves! We will definitely be able to develop the game you mentioned."

"Then get ready."

Liu Zhiyuan left, leaving Europe and the United States with countless god-level figures in game history, including Michel, the father of Lehman;

Craig, ***, is the top CG illustration and concept master in history. His representative works include Final Fantasy, Star Wars, Need for Speed, Age of Empires and Red Alert, etc.;

Todd, Howard, creator of The Elder Scrolls, responsible for Fallout 3, Morrowind, Annihilation, and Skyrim;

Will,Wright,SimCity,The Sims,Spore...

He went to find everyone he could contact and recruit.

China, Hangzhou Normal University.

"Hello, Mr. Liu..."

No one would have thought that this thin and weird-looking man in front of them would usher in an era of wireless payment 20 years later!

"Hello, Teacher Ma."

Jack Ma, no one in China is unfamiliar with this name, Alibaba, Taobao, Alipay, this man has completely changed the Chinese people's lifestyle.

"I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare call me teacher in front of Mr. Liu, just call me Ma Yun or Xiao Ma."

This big man who would later stir up troubles was still very young at this time. Although he was 5 years older than Liu Zhiyuan, their achievements at this time were completely different.

"I wonder if Teacher Ma has any plans for his future?"

Jack Ma is not a technical talent, nor did he look for Jack Ma to engage in technology. Jack Ma is a rare sales management talent! Technical talents can be cultivated. Maybe the technicians trained are not the top ones, but as long as the cost is spent

, at least they can be good, but management talents also have their own sales skills, which cannot be cultivated simply through training.

Some things are innate. Jack Ma’s personal image is very poor, but this has become a plus point for his charisma. Do you really think that anyone can create Alibaba? Anyone can recruit countless talents to abandon their homes and careers to accompany him.

Desperate?

Things are not always smooth for Alibaba. Not everyone can survive the countless crises. Ability, charm, and timing are all indispensable. The Han Dynasty actually needs such management talents more than technical personnel. When the Han Dynasty's stall is fully rolled out

, it is impossible for him to have so much energy to cover everything.

"Don't laugh when I say it. I want to open a translation agency of my own."

After Ma Yun finished speaking, he felt embarrassed at first. It was true that his ambition was too insignificant in front of the young man opposite.

"Teacher Ma, if you start a business, what will happen to your teaching position?"

There is no such thing as a part-time job in this era, especially if a school teacher goes out to open a translation agency, the school will not agree to it.

"Oh, I really have no choice but to resign."

Resigning, saying these two simple words requires courage beyond people's imagination. In this era of layoffs, people in future generations can't imagine how important an iron rice bowl is with guaranteed income despite droughts and floods.

"Are you interested in coming to the Han Dynasty?"

Ma Yun was stunned. He wanted to agree immediately, but...

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Mr. Liu, but... I don't understand games."

When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he determined that he must be the candidate for executive director after the Han Dynasty. How many people in China can calmly face the temptation of the Han Dynasty now? Giant companies with billions of dollars really think that they are just a bunch of numbers.

?To use the most direct analogy, the boss of a Fortune 500 company personally recruits you, who is white. Can you refuse? Will you refuse?

This is Jack Ma, a legendary figure who has suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats. He scored 1 in mathematics in the college entrance examination, 19 in mathematics in the college entrance examination, and 89 in mathematics in the college entrance examination. He failed the college entrance examination three times.

He founded a translation agency. In order to pay his employees, he carried sacks to Yiwu and Guangzhou to purchase goods. In order to survive as a small translator, he started his career as a salesman again, selling small gifts, flowers, anything that could be sold for money.

He does everything.

The translation agency finally started to make money, and Jack Ma began to become restless again. At this time, the Chinese Yellow Pages was born. Already a small fortune, he completely put aside his status and began to promote his products in every household.

In 1997, Jack Ma resolutely gave up China Yellow Pages, a product that had begun to gain popularity. He sold all his shares at a low price and established the predecessor of Alibaba...

In 1999, Alibaba was founded...

"Does Arakawa Minoru know?"

"Know."

Ma Yun understood the subtext of this sentence, and his heart began to beat faster. He didn't understand Arakawa Minoru at all before he joined the Han Dynasty, but after Arakawa Minoru joined the Han Dynasty, he understood it. He was not afraid of other people's jokes. Liu Zhiyuan was his idol.

, started from scratch and became a man of the world in just two years. It would be false not to envy him, so he has been paying attention to the affairs of the Han Dynasty.

"He doesn't understand games either. This doesn't affect him from becoming the actual number two figure in the Han Dynasty."

There is so much information hidden in this sentence that Ma Yun can no longer control his expression. The number two figure in the Han Dynasty? Is it possible for him in the future?

"Come to the Han Dynasty, I will take you personally. Li Huagui's current teacher is Arakawa Minoru. After Arakawa Minoru leaves, he will take over the business in Europe and the United States, but there is no person in charge of China, Asia and other regions yet."
