Reborn Millennial Gamer

ps: Ask for a monthly pass by the way

America, Massachusetts.

Li Fuzhen could see the MIT hotel through the glass, and Li Fuzhen carefully read the US media newspapers for nearly a week.

"Recently, the first trial between Logic and Samsung officially opened. Guo, the head of North America, said: YP-Z1 is a blatant plagiarism! From the appearance to the interface, and even the outer packaging, it is similar to lmusic and fantasy. This is not a coincidence. This kind of blatant plagiarism it's wrong……"

"It is reported that Samsung is not the only plagiarist. The roulette design of YP-Z1 copied Apple. A representative hopes that the limited exclusion law will be issued as soon as possible. We need to protect the interests of Apple and shareholders when some robber companies plagiarize their ideas..."

"Since the court session, Samsung Electronics' stock price has continued to fall. Today's opening was the biggest drop since June 6, and it fell by 1% at one point... Logic requires Samsung to publicly apologize, pay compensation, and recall the problematic mp1.2."

"Microsoft President Ballmer was interviewed by the media and was shocked by Samsung's alleged plagiarism, 'Samsung is an excellent company, such behavior is incomprehensible'."

Samsung, without a doubt, is on the cusp.

Before there was a lawsuit with He Logic, and later there was an ITC investigation. Front, back, and flanks all had strong enemies, and the battle of public opinion was still at a disadvantage.

It was like getting into the pocket array and being beaten up.

Li Fuzhen put down the newspaper, feeling more and more ominous.

This set of combined punches was thick and thin, urgent and slow, obviously prepared, and the initiative was firmly in Lu Fei's hands.

His eyes fell on the invitation letter on the table, and suddenly the female assistant knocked on the door with a confused expression and a letter in her hand.

"what is this?"

The female assistant said weakly: "This is Miss San's handwritten letter. She went out yesterday and didn't come back."

"what!?"

Li Fuzhen stood up abruptly, and hastily opened the letter. The content can be summed up in one sentence——

Ernie, I'm going to the E3 game show, don't worry, okay~

The female assistant lowered her head, not daring to say a word, when Li Fuzhen sternly said:
"Don't even call me hello, is she going alone!"

The female assistant said humbly online: "Miss San brought a translator and bodyguards, and even took away the suitcase."

"This lawless crazy girl!"

Li Fuzhen looked helpless, "Where is the E3 game exhibition?"

…………

Every May and June in Los Angeles, the E3 exhibition is held here.

The annual feast of the global electronic entertainment industry is unprecedentedly grand. During these three days, game manufacturers, distributors, players, comment media, etc., gathered tens of thousands of people, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

"How about it?"

Lu Huateng accompanied Lu Fei, weaving through the crowd.

Seeing that he was calm and calm, "It's very lively, but it's a pity that there are no Huaxia games in the exhibition."

"I'm not asking about the game show, I'm asking about Samsung's lawsuit."

"It's only been four days since the trial, don't worry, the patent case is quite complicated, it may take a year or so."

"Is there any chance of winning?" Lu Huateng asked curiously.

"You see I'm here, what do you think?" Lu Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked with his hands behind his back, taking a leisurely stroll.

"Since we can win, why are you still negotiating peace?" Lu Huateng couldn't help wondering, "And Samsung doesn't accept it, what should you do?"

"Then, the invitation letter for the press conference will change from a peace letter to a war letter." Lu Fei's eyes showed a sly light.

Lu Huateng couldn't help being startled, seeing him entering the crowded venue, he quickened his pace and followed.

Capcom, NCsoft, Nintendo, Konami...

Shuttle around the booths of major game companies, stop and go all the way, but they couldn't arouse Lu Huateng's interest.

Console games can't survive in China's big environment, and only a few "Sword" survive.

Lu Fei doesn't think so. To export culture, you must first make others interested. Compared with movies, games are more suitable as a carrier.

The penguin was supposed to carry the big banner, but it didn't. Now that Master Lu is here, there is a white jade pillar in the Huaxia game world!
The key is, what is the first self-developed product?
"Director Lu, Mr. Lu, Baokai Game is over there."

Ren Yuyi, like everyone else, dutifully introduced, "The logical version of "Bejeweled", the gameplay is designed by them."

"Well, huh?"

Lu Fei answered absently, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, isn't this the developer of "Plants vs. Zombies"!
He stopped, and under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he whispered: "How about we make "Happy Farm" a stand-alone player?"

"Eh?"

Lu Huateng and the others looked confused, their brains couldn't keep up with the giant's thinking.

Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile, changed direction, and walked towards Baokai Game, only halfway there, the surroundings full of English, suddenly popped out friendly Chinese.

"Boss Lu! I finally met the real person."

In the vast crowd, Chen Tianqiao took big strides, and Chen Danian and other grand teams followed.

Lu Fei exchanged polite greetings on the surface, but secretly cheered up his spirits, and was alert to the other party, whoever came was not kind!

Chen Tianqiao said curiously: "Logic is having a trial with Samsung, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to find time to visit the exhibition."

"It's just too nervous, so let's relax."

"That's right, is Mr. Lu interested in any games?"

"Not yet, where is Mr. Chen?"

"Hahaha, no."

Chen Tianqiao laughed, "I'm not planning to go to see Blizzard, they say 'Blizzard's product must be a boutique', but let's see what kind of boutique it is, do you want to come with Mr. Lu?"

Lu Fei pretended not to be interested: "Blizzard is a major console manufacturer, and Penguin is not interested in stand-alone games. As far as domestic piracy is concerned, it's like throwing money into the water. It's better to buy more online games."

Lu Huateng blinked, that's not what you said just now!
Seeing him solemnly said: "Now the market is getting bigger and bigger, the competition is getting more and more fierce, and the Matthew Effect has emerged. Mr. Chen, believe it or not, in the future, 10% of the game companies will control 90% of the online game market?"

"See you, Mr. Lu!"

Chen Tianqiao pondered for a while, and agreed.

Even so, they still headed in the direction of Blizzard, one of the two groups headed east, the other headed west, and parted ways.

"He's like an ant on a hot pan right now."

Lu Huateng pointed out Shanda's predicament. The contract of "Legend" expired in less than half a year, but Actoz, who cooperated with him, planned to divorce and broke the marriage of the two families.

In other words, if the contract is not renewed within half a year, the legs supporting Shanda will be broken.

"No wonder you lead the team yourself, it seems that you are really in a hurry."

Lu Fei watched Chen Tianqiao's back disappear, thoughtfully.

A group of people then gathered at the booth arranged by V agency (Valva), and at the moment, "Half-Life 2" is being demonstrated live.

Li Yinxin stuck in the crowd, with her heads blocking her view, she had to stand on her heels.

At this moment, someone bumped his ankle lightly, squinted, and a man happened to appear in front of him.

"You kicked me."

"Sau Rui, there are too many people."

Lu Fei argued lazily, although he didn't do it, he offered to apologize.

"Are you a stick man?"

Li Yinxin saw that he had an Asian face, and he was still so handsome, her anger disappeared, and when she heard that he was from China, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times in surprise.

But soon, attention shifted back to the projection screen.

In the middle of the demonstration, the graphics and performance of the next generation of "Half-Life 2" detonated the audience, cheers and applause continued, and people collided with each other shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot from time to time.

Li Yinxin felt her white sneakers being kicked, a pain hit her feet, her eyebrows could not help but frown.

Standing in front of him, apart from the bodyguards, it was Lu Fei!
She said calmly, "You stepped on my foot."

Lu Fei glanced back, then lowered his head, keeping his feet on the ground without stepping on anyone's shoes.

Li Yinxin saw that he neither apologized nor removed her foot from her shoe, and kept stepping on it, she couldn't bear it and said angrily:

"Ah! Hurry up and take your feet away."

Lu Fei shook his head and sighed, "Miss, you have found the wrong person."

"Mo (what), you dare to quibble!"

"What am I quibbling about?"

The two sides were wrestling, and the more and more chaos, the sound became louder and louder, Lu Fei answered lazily, and turned to leave, but Li Yinxin grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Is it that difficult to ask you to admit your mistake and apologize?"

"I didn't do it, what do I admit."

"It's you! It's you!"

Li Yinxin's cheeks were swollen with anger, "You stepped on a girl's foot and didn't even fart?"

Listening to the translation, Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "If I really stepped on your foot, I will be very sorry for you. If I fart at you again, will I still be human?"

The voice fell, and the surroundings burst into laughter.

Regardless of men or women in the crowd, all eyes were on Li Yinxin.

She quickly lowered her peaked cap to cover her blushing face, squeezed out of the crowd under the cover of bodyguards, and said before leaving:
"Xi, Xiba Lama, you owe me an apology!"

"Unreasonable trouble."

Lu Fei shrugged his shoulders, completely disappointed by such a commotion, led the people away, went around and wandered around.

On the way, I chatted with Lu Huateng and Ren Yuyi about the idea of ​​"Plants vs. Zombies", and the two gradually became interested and became more and more interested.

Coincidentally, once again ran into Shanda's team head-on.

Lu Fei glanced at their disappointed faces, and knew in his heart: "Mr. Chen, are you leaving? How is Blizzard's shopping?"

"There's nothing to shop around, it's all stand-alone, I'm not interested at all."

Chen Tianqiao frowned. In fact, he doesn't even like games. Even if "Legend" has a lot of private servers and cheats, he doesn't care about it. All he thinks about is——

Grand transformation.

But relying on "Legend" alone is too risky. Domestic online games have already become a sea of ​​blood, not to mention the lawsuit with Actoz. Seeing that his thigh is about to break, he has to find another thigh for cash flow.

Lu Fei smiled and said: "American manufacturers focus on consoles, and online games depend on us and Bangzi. Mr. Chen came to the wrong place."

Zhuo, you didn't force me!

Chen Tianqiao's face froze, "I'm here to gamble on luck, Mr. Lu has bet so many studios on Bangzi that I want to gamble, but I can't find a few to bet on.

Mr. Lu is really a discerning gambler! "

Lu Fei said with a smile: "Both each other, you can't compare to Mr. Chen, you bet on "Legend", but it's a legend."

"I would rather not have this legend. "Legend" is a bad game, a tool to make money, but Shanda is a good company."

Chen Tianqiao said enthusiastically, "I plan to gamble all the money I earn to transform into China's Internet Disney."

Lu Fei rubbed his chin, "This bargaining chip is not small, Shanda must go public."

"Mr. Lu, heroes have the same views, we are actively planning to go public, and it is Nasdaq."

Chen Tianqiao danced and danced with excitement.

Lu Fei smacked his lips, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Mr. Chen, I didn't deliberately hit you. It's quite difficult to go public."

Chen Tianqiao's smile froze, "Boss Lu...what does this mean, I would like to hear more about it."

"Is Shanda going to sue Actoz?"

"Yes, a lawsuit has been filed."

“Institutions that specialize in investing in listed companies will not take the risk if there is a lawsuit.”

Lu Fei is now clear about financing and investment, "The risk is too high, it will not be sought after, and no investment bank is willing to underwrite the IPO. In fact, Shanda will not be able to go public."

"That is to say, a settlement must be made with Actoz?"

Chen Tianqiao seemed to eat a fly: "But I will never compromise, the initiative is in the hands of Actoz, once I compromise, I will compromise again and again, then I will be passive, and I don't have to cling to Actoz's thigh, if it is broken, I can still live .”

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up: "It's hard enough!"

"Is it hard? I just hate the feeling of being choked by someone else."

"I don't like it either, so I sued Samsung, but you don't need to go this far, there is no way."

Lu Fei meant something, I have an idea to help you connect your thighs.

Chen Tianqiao's eyes lighted up. The last time Dianka broke with Ubisoft, Master Lu helped him with all his might. This time, Master Lu, save me!
Lu Fei said a lot of scene words, reminding secretly that my Buddha only saves (self) predestined (self) people.

Chen Tianqiao can't help but understand that before an IPO goes public, the last round of financing will be done to determine the valuation.

Inviting Mr. Lu as a partner will not only bring you a powerful ally and a bright light in the industry, but also have the endorsement of "Huaxia Buffett". Investment banks will definitely follow suit, and the valuation is not low.

Thinking about it this way, it became clear: "Shanda's 'pre-ipo' plans to raise 20% to 25% of the equity, is Mr. Lu willing..."

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, and it was worthwhile for him to drag for a long time, let's go!
In the previous life, Softbank invested USD 4000 million in Shanda, cashed out a high of USD 5.6 million in two years of listing, and the investment income was as high as 1400%. It directly became a teaching reference for the global investment community. How can Sun Zhengyi be cheaper now?

This time, I am determined to hang up the street lights, and even Jesus can't stop them!

He said in a calm tone: "It's not enough for me to invest. International venture capital is necessary for the listing operation. I can help Shanda make a bridge, find one or two investment banks to follow up with the investment, and let me lead the investment. How about it?"

"Then settle with Actoz..."

Chen Tianqiao was noncommittal.

"I'll make Actoz an offer he can't refuse."

Lu Fei was mysterious and secretive, whetting everyone's appetite with suspense.

"Just the word 'Lu Fei', I believe you!"

Chen Tianqiao spoke categorically, and then carefully selected two follow-up investors, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, IDG, Baring Asia, and Morgan Stanley. Finally, Goldman Sachs and Baring Asia were selected.

The day Actoz is resolved is the time to invest in Shanda.

Lu Fei stretched out his hand, "I and the other two will come forward."

"Mr. Lu, please feel free to contact me if you have any good news."

Chen Tianqiao held his hand and let out a hearty laugh: "Shanda must go public as soon as possible to transform as soon as possible. I really don't want to make games. It's just 'electronic ya'. I'm like a drug fan, so I still have to go the right way. "

Who are you scolding!
Lu Fei didn't change his face, and watched Shanda's team leave.

Lu Huateng came closer: "What did he just say?"

"Hehe, he is noble, he is amazing."

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed: "Since he dislikes games, it's a coincidence that I like them. Now it's our turn to visit Blizzard."

Lu Huateng said in astonishment: "Aren't you not interested in Blizzard's stand-alone game?"

"Who told you that Blizzard only has stand-alone machines?"

"It's not you..."

Lu Huateng suddenly realized, what the hell, Mr. Lu, you are such a master at pretending to be confused!

…………

"World of Warcraft" was established as early as 01, a MORPG game based on Warcraft, which is often reported in game magazines.

Chen Tianqiao even hates games, how can he watch the news?

Lu Fei was different.

When friends such as Shanda and Xinlang returned without success, the Penguin team sneaked up to the Blizzard booth.

Because Universal Music and Blizzard belong to the Vivendi Group, a phone call was made to music president Doug Morris to find someone.

After a while, Bill Roper, as the general manager of the scene, went in person and introduced himself. He was in charge of Blizzard North, and his predecessor was Condor Studio, which developed "Diablo".

"Lu, it's great to meet you."

"Me too." Lu Fei simply recognized and explained the purpose of coming.

"Online games? Of course we have them!"

Bill Roper's eyes sparkled: "This project has been in development for three years, and it is expected to be tested internally next year."

"Wow."

Lu Fei's eyes were fiery, it's "World of Warcraft"!For Azeroth, for the Horde, for the Alliance!

Naturally, it was also for money, for going public.

"We penguins are very interested."

Lu Huateng reported himself as the No. [-] game manufacturer and online game agent in China. This status alone is enough for Blizzard to pay [-]% attention to it.

Bill Roper immediately invited them to a secret talk, and Lu Fei acted as the shopkeeper, handing over the full authority to Lu Huateng.

The boss can't get on the table easily, and should leave room for negotiation.

At this time, the team left an interpreter, sitting with Wang Ben next to Lu Fei, watching him play the latest War3 expansion pack——

"Frozen Throne".

After enjoying the game, Wang Ben suddenly stood up.

"what happened?"

Lu Fei turned his head to look, it wasn't that the friends didn't get together, the girl appeared in sight again.

I didn't take a closer look before, but she was a beauty, with Danfeng eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, natural and unartificial facial features, and a delicate complexion, resembling a milk tea sister.

Hey, she's still a rich and beautiful woman!

"Yeah, it's you again!"

When Li Yinxin shouted, two bodyguards immediately surrounded her.

Assistant Bangzi adjusted his glasses and reminded: "Don't move around, they are all retired special forces, they are very strong."

"Loyalty! Honesty!" The bodyguard raised his chest.

Lu Fei almost burst out laughing, turned his head and asked, "Can you handle it?"

"No problem, it's just a stick."

Wang Ben's eyes were cold, and his tone was full of confidence.

"Hey, you still owe me an apology."

Li Yinxin raised her long legs and pointed to the white shoes with shoe prints on them, "No, it's two sounds, and that, that fart!"

Lu Fei didn't want to talk to him, so he started to leave. The stick bodyguard took a step closer, and the accompanying interpreter stopped immediately:
"do you know who he is?"

Assistant Bangzi replied: "Do you know who we are!"

Omg, there is a strong kimchi Korean drama smell, something is wrong!

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth twitched, "This is a public place, what do you want?"

"Let's fight!"

Li Yinxin glanced at the screen of the trial game machine, her eyes lit up.

"You want to play war3 with me?" Lu Fei laughed.

"Yes, I won, you have to apologize to me!"

"Did you lose?"

"I will lose to you?" Li Yinxin chuckled proudly, "If I am going to lose, I will apologize to you."

Lu Fei said: "No need, just step on me."

"You, you... good!"

Li Yinxin bit her lip and nodded, her eyes burning with flames of revenge.

The two people are next to each other, and they entered Battle.net online.

"What picture?" Lu Fei asked.

"up to you."

Li Yinxin saw that he chose the human race, and saw that it was a 1V1 bayonet map, so she chose the night elf confidently.

I just saw him play that game, he couldn't even win against the computer, and he had to pick his feet at the level, so happy!

And she, "Interstellar" and war3, are all good at it, known as the "beautiful e-sports girl", and she is sure to win!
Accompanied by the sound of familiar music, the map loading ended, and a dark scene shrouded the forest.

Manipulate the elves to enter the mine, and the base produces elves.

Today's style of play focuses on speeding up the second book, concentrating all resources to defeat the opponent in the early stage, and avoiding the battle situation from being dragged to the later stage.

Suddenly, a militiaman jumped in.

Li Yinxin was very surprised, whoops, still running out of sight?
Immediately afterwards, instead of leaving, the peasants who had ended their militia form built ivory towers one after another.

This person can't play, he's too bad.

With so many towers built, is there still money to summon heroes?
But unexpectedly, just when the "Demon Hunter" was about to come out, 4 more militiamen came, followed by 2 ivory towers that were upgraded and turned into arrow towers.

Whoosh, whoosh, cold arrows shot randomly.

There is such a routine?

Li Yinxin suddenly realized something was wrong, panicked, and hurriedly manipulated the demon hunter and archer to destroy the arrow tower.

However, the 6 arrow towers are like God of War!
The peasants rushed to repair and built new towers, but they were not the most desperate. The most desperate thing was that the archmage rushed over with more than 10 militiamen.

Lu Fei smiled crookedly, do you know TR's flow?

At this moment, it was like the soul of Emperor Sky possessed him.

After just 8 minutes of opening, GG was played, and the game ended.

"Mo!"

Li Yinxin opened her mouth and stared, her mind went blank, "How can you play like this!"
