Chapter 346 "Warcraft"

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, the breathing of Mike Mohan and the others suddenly increased, and every pore in their bodies was excited.

It seemed that happiness came so suddenly that they couldn't believe it.

Who in this world does not know that the games designed by Li Zetian are all classics, and hundreds of millions of players around the world are his fans. As long as the game designer is signed by him, then the game will have at least tens of millions of sales!
Li Zetian saw that Mike Mohan and others blushed with excitement, and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was too famous in the game industry, and when he heard that he designed games for them, he was very excited.

"Mr. Li, of course we would like to!!!"

At this time, Mike Mohan quickly agreed, as if he was afraid that Li Zetian would go back on his word.

"Well, very good," Li Zetian said lightly, "I'll give you the design information of this game."

Then, Li Zetian handed a stack of documents on the table to Mike Mohan, and said, "This game is called "Warcraft", which is a role-playing real-time strategy game, similar to "Dune" developed by Westwood Studios. "Magic Castle". However, the game design background and content are completely different, and each has its own gameplay."

Mike Mohan took the file and flipped through it, and the rest of them immediately moved closer to read it together.

The huge story background, novel design and gameplay can't help but make Mike Mohan and others want to stop. After reading one page, they want to continue to the next page.

However, there is a lot of information, and it is impossible to read it all at once.Li Zetian said: "Don't rush to watch it now, you will have plenty of time in the future. This time I call you here, in addition to handing over the game "Warcraft" to you, I also want to tell you a very important thing."

As he spoke, Li Zetian looked at Bushnell, ready to let him speak.

Then Bushnell told about the company's plan to build the Battle.net platform, and Mike Mohan and the others were shocked.

"Flamingo has already dominated the video game industry. Once the Battle.net platform is successfully built, no one can stop Flamingo from dominating the computer game industry!" Mike Mohan had a unique vision. The Battle.net platform in his previous life was developed by Blizzard. of.At this moment, as soon as he heard about the battle platform plan, he already deeply understood the importance of the battle.net platform.

Mike Mohan couldn't help but said: "The Battle.net platform is comparable to the Flamingo game console!!!"

"Battle.net can gather popularity and provide players with the best gaming platform. The more players there are, the more game developers are willing to release games on the Battle.net platform. The more games there are on the Battle.net platform, the more players they can attract. More and more. If this cycle continues, the Battle.net platform will definitely develop into a holy place for games! If most of the computer games in the future are released on the Battle.net platform, the revenue alone will be an astronomical sum!!!”

"The Battle.net platform is undoubtedly a super idea! With it, Flamingo can remain invincible, even if it doesn't develop games itself!"

"Yeah, you can simply sit and collect money!"

"..."

Seeing the shocked expressions of these young people, Bushnell felt the same in his heart!
"Mr. Bushnell, I wonder who proposed the Battle.net platform? He is such a genius, I really want to discuss it with him!" Mike Mohan couldn't help asking.

Li Zetian couldn't help but startled when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to touch his nose.

Bushnell looked at Li Zetian, and smiled: "This man is far away in the sky, but he is close in front of us."

Mike Mohan and the others followed Bushnell's gaze and looked at Li Zetian one after another.

"The Battle.net platform was not proposed by you, Mr. Li, right?" Mike Mohan asked in surprise.

"Uh, the Battle.net platform was indeed proposed by me." Li Zetian admitted with a faint smile. When he spoke, he acted very calmly, as if he was saying that it was the Battle.net platform, and it was nothing.

Mike Mohan and others looked at Li Zetian with even more admiration and admiration in their eyes, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Li Zetian seems to be born too smart and a genius!Flamingo has him, and other game companies are completely lackluster.

At this moment, Mike Mohan and the others couldn't help but rejoice that they had joined the Flamingo Company and stood next to this towering tree!
Li Zetian sat up straight, looked at Mike Mohan, and said: "With the popularization of the Internet and computers, computer games will have more prospects for development than video games. The Battle.net platform needs competitive games, and Blizzard can develop this in the future." In the future, it will definitely become a well-known and well-known game company.”

"Mmm!!!" Mike Mohan and others nodded heavily.

"Well, that's all right, let's take the information of "Warcraft" and study it. Flamingo is produced, it must be a high-quality product. I hope you will seriously develop this game, keep improving, and develop a classic!!!"

"Yes, we will work hard, and we will never lose your name, Mr. Li!!"

"That's good!"

After Mike Mohan and others left, Li Zetian and Bushnell continued to chat and drink.After a while, the heads of id Software and Westwood Studios came to the office successively and reported their work to Li Zetian.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian left the Flamingo Company.

"Bushnell, the matter of the Flamingo Company will be handed over to you from now on, especially the Battle.net platform and "Counter-Strike", we must pay special attention to it. Whether the Battle.net platform can succeed or not, "Counter-Strike" will play a crucial role. effect."

"Okay, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will supervise their work from time to time and report to you every other month."

"Ok!"

……

……

After dealing with the matter of the game, Li Zetian's energy began to turn to other places.

By 1992, the Internet was developing rapidly in the United States, and America Online, Netscape, Yahoo, and Google had become the main service tools on the Internet.In addition, the market value of Galaxy Networks has increased significantly. The company's main network equipment products, such as routers, switches, etc., have almost formed a monopoly. Its market value has reached an astonishing 700 billion US dollars, shocking the world! !
With the rise of the Internet, Sun Microsystems has become one of the fastest-growing companies. Servers are almost out of stock, and the supply exceeds demand.

Computers from Apple and Mango Computer are on sale. In the personal computer market, the two companies together account for more than 45% of the market.

There is no doubt that Li Zetian's net worth has skyrocketed, but no one knows how much money he has, which has become the biggest question of this century.

Before I knew it, a few months had passed.

China's chain Internet cafe project was officially launched. At the same time, Lenovo also developed a personal computer at this time, and the production cost was only 3200 yuan.With a wave of his hand, Li Zetian decided to hand over one-third of the orders from the Internet cafe chain to Lenovo, and the rest to Mango Computer.
