China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 185 Yang Dao: I am your fan
After hearing the elder sister's explanation, Lu Yuan accepted the bank card directly without any pretense.

With the relationship between the two of them, what's worth pushing around for $500 million?
What's more, looking at the look on my face, it's obvious that I've made a lot of money.

Boss Lu, I feel at ease.

Immediately, Lu Yuan changed the subject and started talking about tomorrow's trip.

"Sister, what time is the appointment for tomorrow?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning."

When Lu Jing mentioned this matter, she stared at Lu Yuan quietly for a while. Just when Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, she spoke.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be quite discerning."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "No, I've always been lucky."

"Is it really luck?"

Lu Jing stared straight at her brother, why did she not believe it.

This matter is a bit bizarre to say.

In May or June, Lu Yuan mentioned something to her and asked her to help contact a game company, saying that he was ready to invest.

The investment target was a game company called [Fist]. Knowing the name, Lu Jing made a habitual due diligence.

Then, she discovered that this game company was completely a grassroots team.

The two founders of the company are not professional game developers. They both graduated from business schools. The people actually responsible for game development are technicians from the Dota Allstars forum.

correct.

The person named Yang Dao that my brother mentioned is the technical director of this game company.

According to his younger brother, he first learned about Yang Dao and then learned about this game company.

Yang Dao is very famous in the Dota Allstars forum and is the map updater for the competitive game DOTA.

DOTA can become popular all over the world, and Yangdao plays a key role in it.

(PS: The person who really made DOTA popular all over the world was the producer Bing Frog. Lu Yuan said this just to make excuses)

Therefore, I am very optimistic about the new company that Yang Dao is working for, and I have an investment plan since then.

Although the due diligence results of Riot Games were a bit unsatisfactory, when she thought that her brother was only planning to invest US$2-300 million, Lu Jing did not stop the investment.

If you lose, take it as a lesson.

She really wants to see her brother buy a lesson. Two to three million dollars. Buying a lesson is better than spending tens of millions of dollars to buy a lesson in the future.

However, what Lu Jing did not expect was that Riot Games not only confirmed their investment intentions with them, but also participated in the financing, Benchmark Capital, a San Francisco investment institution.

Benchmark Capital is well-known in America.

It was established in 95, invested in eBay in 97, and went public in 98. From this investment alone, Benchmark Capital’s return was as high as US$40 billion.

With the investment case of eBay, this newly established investment institution became famous in one fell swoop!
Twitter, which has become popular recently, also has investments from Benchmark Capital.

Benchmark Capital has a very distinct label. It focuses on Internet companies and only makes Series A and Series B investments. It has a ruthless vision and its four founders are all Buddhists.

In addition to Benchmark Capital, there was another thing that surprised Lu Jing. Another company participating in this investment was a company she was very familiar with.

Fuji news!

Riot Games is a start-up game company founded in Los Angeles. It is an unknown company and has nothing to do with Tencent.

I don’t know how the two companies hooked up.

Not to mention being separated by the Pacific Ocean, the two sides are completely unequal in size.

"Is there a possibility that I am more talented in investing?"

Seeing that his elder sister continued to ask questions, Lu Yuan quickly started to make jokes, showing off his talents without hesitation.

"whispering sound."

Seeing this scene, Lu Jing shook her head slightly.

"No more talking, I want to rest."

"You sleep in the room downstairs at night. Everything in the room is new."

"Good night."

"install."

…………

The next day.

Sure enough, Lu Tianwang's tidbits appeared on the front page of a tabloid.

Obviously, this is CNN's handiwork.

Not long after the Cafferty incident ended, CNN will not publish any negative information about Yuan Yuan under its own media banner for the time being.

That would be too obvious.

There is no risk in selling photos to some entertainment newspapers.

To be honest, CNN is also a little scared.

This guy Lu Yuan is not a son of a man, and the song he wrote was too destructive. Nearly half a year later, the song "Not Afraid" is still on the Billboard singles chart.

Although the ranking is not too high, it jumps back and forth between 40-70.

But the staying power is amazing.

This song has been on the charts for so long mainly because of the black radio stations. Those black radio DJs like this song very much.

Just take it out and put it away if you have anything to do.

If there is even a slight incident involving racial discrimination, this song's Billboard rankings will jump up.

Every time, CNN will be dragged out and whipped.

The publication time of the tabloid is [-] am, which is [-] pm domestic time. At this time, the print media is off work.

But the editor of the portal website did not get off work.

It didn't take long for the suspected scandal of Lu Tianwang to appear on the entertainment news page.

However, Lu Yuan had no time to worry about these false news at this time. What he was going to talk about next was a big business involving tens of billions.

Really tens of billions, not hundreds of millions at a time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan brought his lawyer and his sister to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Manhattan, where they made an appointment to meet with the founder of Riot Games.

After a while, he saw the three core figures of Riot Games in the conference room. Two were wearing T-shirts and were thin, and the other was wearing a shirt and was fat.

"Oh! My God!"

The chubby young man with slightly curly hair covered his mouth tightly with his hands, with a look of disbelief on his face, very excited.

"Unbelievable!"

"Mark, Brandon, is really LU!"

This emotional fat man was the Yang Dao transferred from DOTA, although Lu Yuan had communicated with him many times in emails.

But when he actually met, he was still a little unbelievable.

"Hi Guinsoo."

Lu Yuan stepped forward with a smile and gave Yang Dao a hug.

He was able to successfully invest in Riot Games. In addition to money and fame, Yang Dao also helped a lot.

Yang Dao said in the email that Riot Games was almost disbanded in April.

After all, the other two founders of Riot Games are not very wealthy people. From 06 to 08, they almost drained the company's capital chain.

But the final product is not very pretty.

If no one invests, Riot Games will probably fold.

During that time, Yang Dao was also confused, and then he heard Lu Yuan's song on the Internet.

"Hall Of Fame"

《unstoppable》

These two songs were his great loves.

These two songs also reminded him of a game prop in DOTA - the soul-revitalizing stone.

Then, he contacted Ice Frog, who was currently updating the DOTA map, and strongly suggested that Ice Frog add an annotation to the prop Soul Revitalizing Stone.
