Chapter 517 King Pesticide

After Li Zetian turned off the computer, he went for a walk outside the house to exercise his body.

In the evening, when the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads over the earth, and the Li family mansion in Beverly Hills seems to be covered with a layer of golden veil.At this time, William just came back from the outside.

Li Zetian called him to his study, and then handed him the previously printed sharing economy materials.

"Take it back and study it carefully. Among the projects I mentioned, you should also start to let people develop them."

William took the information and nodded: "Okay, Dad. Oh, yes, Dad, after the acquisition of Uber, we are going to expand on a large scale across the United States!"

Li Zetian said: "Not only in the United States, but also overseas. The whole world is paying attention to the development of American Internet companies. When they notice Uber, they will imitate it immediately. When we enter overseas , will face competitors that are difficult to deal with. At present, Uber can be said to have basically no competitors, which is the opportunity for Uber to develop rapidly!!!”

"Even if you are one step ahead of others, you will be ahead every step of the way!"

"Okay, Dad, I understand!" William nodded heavily.

"Well, well, go downstairs, dinner should be ready soon."

Li Zetian and William came to the restaurant downstairs together.

Due to Tina's pregnancy, some adjustments were made to the meals at home, most of which are foods that are beneficial to pregnant women.

After dinner, Li Zetian called the CEO of Flamingo Company.

The "father of video games" Nolan Bushnell was old and retired from the position of CEO of Flamingo, and a man named Carey Jenkins succeeded him.Carey Jenkins, 45 years old, medium status, Ph.D. from Stanford University, joined Flamingo in 1995, from an engineer to the current CEO of Flamingo step by step.

"Jenkins," Li Zetian asked on the phone, "what do you think of the game "League of Legends"?"

Li Zetian didn't say that he wanted to acquire Riot Games when he first came. He asked Carey Jenkins for his opinion first. In fact, he also thought about it.In the future, when Li Zetian's gold finger is gone, he will have to rely on these people in the company. These people have excellent abilities and vision, and Li Zetian will be at ease.

Carey Jenkins pondered for a while before answering: "I think this game may have the potential to become a big hit! "League of Legends" is a dota-like game, but it is easier to learn than Dota. The simpler the game, the easier it is to become popular. , and may even set off a nationwide gaming frenzy!"

Hearing this, Li Zetian nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, it makes sense! If that's the case, then let Flamingo quickly acquire the game developer of "League of Legends" - Riot Games!"

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll arrange it right away."

"Ah."

"Mr. Li, do you have any other orders?"

"After acquiring Riot Games, they held large-scale competitions and formed their own unique e-sports culture. By the way, Flamingo formed a "League of Legends" team to make this kind of competition a world-class competition!"

Of course, Li Zetian is embarrassed to say that the main purpose of forming a team is to let the game team play with him.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I see. Don't worry, I will follow your orders." Carey Jenkins said.

Then, the two hung up the phone.

As soon as Li Zetian put down his phone, he couldn't help thinking: "With the LOL on the PC side, then the king of pesticides on the mobile phone can also be developed. The mobile game market is very huge. The king of pesticides developed by Tencent is so popular. Shushu, down to elementary school students, has swept the whole of China!"

Thinking of this, Li Zetian immediately called Ma Huateng.

"Hi, pony? I'm Chronos."

"Mr. Li, hello!"

"Well. I'm looking for you now, and I suddenly thought of a game project. By the way, do you know Dota and LOL?"

"To understand, Dota is currently a very popular online competitive game. LOL is a Dota-like game that was only launched at the end of October last year, and it is also very popular in the United States." Ma Huateng said.

"I called you today to ask Tencent to act as an agent of "League of Legends". Historical figures, or characters in novels, games, or even ancient mythology. In short, these characters are very popular, as for how to design and develop the characters and games, it is up to you to do it yourself." Li Zetian paused, Warning, "I value the game "Glory of the King" very much, don't mess it up!"

Hearing Li Zetian's serious tone, Ma Huateng hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, we will keep improving and develop the best mobile games!"

"Well, okay, it's okay, that's it, I hung up the phone."

"Okay, bye, Mr. Li!"

Ma Huateng hung up the phone, and hurriedly recorded the key points Li Zetian said in his notebook.

"Xiao Liu, let the executives of the mobile game department come to my office for a meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon!" Ma Huateng picked up the landline phone and immediately ordered the female secretary.

"Okay, Mr. Ma."

At this moment, Ma Huateng felt a little excited.Because the more Li Zetian pays attention to it, the more it shows that this "Glory of the King" will be very popular in the future, and a large part of Tencent's income comes from the game business.

……

……

Flamingo's acquisition of Riot Games went very smoothly, buying the entire company for just $1.5 million.

As the saying goes, "Learn literary and martial arts, and be like the emperor's family".

In the gaming world, this is also true.

Companies that make games want to sell themselves to Flamingo.

Immediately afterwards, Tencent obtained the agency rights of the game.At the same time, the "Honor of Kings" mobile game development project was put on the agenda by Tencent.

After studying the sharing economy materials that Li Zetian gave him, William couldn't help being very interested in the Airbnb website and shared bicycles.Without Li Zetian's reminder, William immediately sent someone to contact Airbnb, expressing his intention to acquire her.

Airbnb was founded in 2008. Although it was founded in a short period of time, its development speed is surprisingly fast, and its service has grown by more than 600%.

Airbnb is a private short-term rental website, that is, a service website that connects travelers with homeowners who have vacancies for rent.In other words, anyone with a vacant room in their home can rent it out to other users on Airbnb.

There are more people with housing in the world. Needless to say, how big the market is. Airbnb’s rapid development already speaks for itself!
