Chapter 928： The idea of the competition system
Too proud, too proud, too good.
This is what Riot's development team is saying at this time, and some people have even cheered and vented their emotions.
No one wants to suffer in order to save the necessary development expenses, and one person can be used for two, which will slow down the process of the game's launch.
However, the people at Riot also know that this money is not easy to get. How to look at it, the owner of a studio with good performance will not sell Kindness for no reason.
Brandon Baker and Mark Merrill looked at each other, the latter nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Rust, can you come to my office and talk?"
The employees of Riot also know whether their benefits can be improved or not. It depends on the results of the negotiations between the two parties.
But in fact, things are not that complicated. Riot's management is not so obsessed with the shares in their hands. They hope that the management will not interfere with their creation.
The original time and space, that is, on February 18, 2011, the US server was launched for more than a year, and the national server was still in Chinese, but when it was about to go online, Penguin took out 1.525 billion yuan (about 231 million US dollars) in cash and existing equity subscriptions. The put option is worth 155 million, and the holdings of Riot Games are increased by 8.2095 million shares, with a ratio of 92.78% - only a little more than 22% before.
But at that time, the results of the public beta test and the real-time online number of people in the US service allowed Penguin to see the actual operation space of this game, so the money was spent to bundle the future of the fist, and now, the fist is not so valuable, and after the transaction is completed, The founder and management team only require full responsibility, independent operation, and let Penguin grant 2.009 million shares to the staff as an incentive.
In other words, Riot welcomes the gold master to join and live a good life.
Just like at this time, while Mark was happy, he only considered that the valuation of his shares was not high, and he didn't know whether "League of Legends" could make a big splash in the increasingly fierce game market.
You must know that although Riot's development team has game development experience, but without independent and successful practical experience, Lehman is different. After several years of polishing, his company's cash reserves are very high, which can withstand the toss. Comparing the two sides, Riot has no confidence to refuse the temptation, and even they don't know what kind of market energy "League of Legends" can burst out, so there is no bargaining chip to raise the price.
"The two of us only have 60.4% of the shares left, and it's not even 100 million, um."
"It doesn't matter, I plan to set up a company to contract this game event, and the remaining funds will be transferred here. When the time comes, the venue will be rented and the players will be able to use it."
This, have you thought so far?
But Mark didn't want to refuse such kindness. Anyway, it would be good to have a positive effect on the promotion of the game.
"So, how much are you going to contribute?"
Brandon on the side was still immersed in the joy of meeting Lehman, a big money lord, who was rich and not bad, and could now get a substantial return. Mark saw that he was secretly happy and did not speak, so he couldn't help but ask, "I think 49.28 million is a more appropriate price."
"Yes, yes." Braden quickly echoed, "It's very playable and has a low threshold for getting started. It can attract players who like MOBA games to the greatest extent."
Lehman nodded simply and didn't want to bargain at all - it was only worth 77 million yuan, and the two investment banks were valued at 110 million yuan, and they were both traded. Can we only say that entrepreneurs are always better than hyenas?
After passing this village, I am afraid that there will be no such store. It is less than 50 million. I voted. The remaining money will be held with Riot 55 to establish a Red Dragonfly Sports, which is similar to the Tengjing Sports that Penguin and Riot cooperate with, focusing on events, broadcasting, expanding the influence of the game, and forming a brand.
"However, my team also needs some reassurance."
"I have also considered this aspect, and I will give 5% of the options to these excellent employees."
Having said that, Brandon and Mark have nothing to hesitate.
In the following time, the two no longer brought up the topic of share trading. Instead, they were curious about life in Hollywood and asked Lehmann for news about the entertainment industry.
Satisfied some of the conjectures of the two technical men about the world of flowers, Lyman took Ryan to leave.
After getting in the car, Lyman revealed the layout of the event direction, "Ryan, I want to trouble you to do something, wait a minute, you go to CAA and ask Johnson to contact the headhunting company to help me dig out some events that are running. Experienced people, and then let them go to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Europe, etc. to find game agents.”
"Is this game really successful?"
"Rest assured, we are responsible for the operation and promotion, and it will definitely not be bad."
Before Penguin took over in the previous life, the promotion model of Riot was so bad, and it had a certain influence in the American market. With Blue Butterfly's publicity channel and temporary cooperative relationship with Sony, are you afraid of a lower level than the previous life?
And many people have a misunderstanding, that is, "League of Legends" really relies on Penguin's strong user stickiness, but it does not mean that the game itself is not universal, don't you see, Penguin does not represent every game can be successful , it is not uncommon to lose the service, so don't attribute the success factors to one point.
"Okay, I'll find someone to do it."
Once this trivial matter is settled, Lehman's plan for laying out the game will be more complete. UU reading
In his view, the reason why "League of Legends" can grow into such a wide audience in the future is to imitate the competition system that the NBA has gradually established.
After all, the lifespan of games has not been long. The most typical ones are the various masterpieces developed by Blizzard. Almost all of them have been popular for a while, and players have been lost rapidly. "League of Legends" will naturally go through this stage, but because of the competition system. Existence, and often can make old players return, or work, stop playing, will also spend some time to pay attention.
It has to be said that this is also a case in the history of games that can learn from successful experience.
On the other hand, Riot received a lot of money, and it also adopted Lehman's suggestion, began to recruit people, and continued to optimize.
For this kind of thing, these people are more positive than Lehman. After all, they can make a product that is recognized by players in their own hands. The sense of satisfaction and pleasure is easy to understand.
In this way, after another two days, the Red Dragonfly game and economic and sports departments gradually began to work.
At this time, there are only a few powerful agents in various regions, and everyone knows which manufacturers to contact for cooperation.
In fact, it is really not difficult to find a door. It is rare to impress people who are willing to pay agency fees and invest the corresponding resources, even if the conditions given by the fist are not high, only 20% of the regional game revenue profit is required—
NetEase's later agent "World of Warcraft" needs to share 55% of the regional revenue, which shows the strength of Blizzard (the former Ninetowns only gave 25%), not to mention that the agency fee is as high as 210 million US dollars... .. Of course, at this time, there is definitely no room for comparison between Fist and Blizzard, and the confidence is not enough.
