They're both big shots at Tencent, their emotions shouldn't be like this.
But let's not forget that both of them have made overseas investments and met many foreigners.
They can have money on hand when they make investments.
I've never seen these foreigners treat me with such respect before.
Today, I saw it in Lin Li instead.
This person feels that the more they haven't had something, the less others deserve it.
In other words, the two of them, still maintaining their status, made a couple of complaints, but as more and more people arrived, they wanted to leave.
Just as they were about to leave, a foreigner who understood Chinese overheard their complaints and seriously stopped them.
How could you say such things about Master Lin?
These words really hit the two people who were already feeling uncomfortable right to the bone.
"What do you call him? Heh, Master Lin? What did he say? Master Lin? Your eyesight is terrible."
Chen Zhou, who was already annoyed, was still young and impetuous and couldn't help but speak a little harshly.
The foreigner who stopped the two was just doing it casually.
Hearing him say that made her unhappy.
"Everyone knows Master Lin. Master Lin is the respectful title we give him on our forum. If you don't understand, you can leave. Don't make a fuss here."
The three of them then had this conversation.
People nearby also looked over.
Actually, when Chen Zhou was arguing with someone, the people next to him had already looked over.
This prompted many to speak up.
"What are you doing here if you're not even a member of the forum?"
"Yes, yes."
Even more extreme, some people rolled up their sleeves.
"See this fist? If it weren't for the fact that you and Master Lin are both Chinese, he would be on your head right now, brother."
He saw that he had incurred the wrath of the masses.
Chen Zhou chickened out, uttered a couple of weak words in a loud voice, and then slunk away.
The two walked back, both seething with anger.
"This is inexplicable, absolutely inexplicable."
Chen Zhou muttered to himself as he walked.
Ma Xiao, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful after coming out.
He happened to run into an acquaintance who was passing by: Camille, the producer of Paradox Interactive's CK3.
Two years ago, Ma Xiao orchestrated Penguin Capital's acquisition of a 5% stake in P-Company.
That's how the two met.
Although we haven't seen each other for two years and have become somewhat unfamiliar, we can still remember who each other is when we greet each other.
"Camille, where are you going?"
Camille pointed in the direction of the forest.
"I'll go over there."
Ma Xiao nodded.
"Are you going to see Master Lin?"
Upon hearing this, Camille paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied with a single sentence.
"You're on the forum too?"
Ma Xiao smiled, surprised that this forum and Master Lin seemed to have more influence than he had imagined, while holding Camille's hand to prevent him from leaving.
"I don't know what forum it is, but I'm curious, could you tell me about it?"
Camille didn't really want to talk to Ma Xiao, but since he was pulled in, he offered a few words of explanation.
In fact.
This is not complicated at all.
It's even ridiculously simple.
Since the launch of Galaxy Paradise: Exploration, Spark has had some contact with independent game developers, or rather, small and medium-sized game companies around the world.
Lin Li wasn't that busy back then.
So I registered an account on a website called "Game Home," a forum that's very popular worldwide for game developers.
That was the original intention.
The idea was to poach some people and, incidentally, promote "Galaxy Paradise: Exploration".
Newcomer posts on this forum require identity verification, so Lin Li openly acknowledged his identity and gave himself the ID Master Lin.
I was also active in the forum for a while.
Their way of being active is also quite unique.
Other people register on the forum to chat, brag, and share development experiences.
Lin Li Bu.
His goal, after all, was to poach talent, especially after he came up with the idea of the Spark platform.
In addition, his time is limited.
What he does every day is reply to the posts from new members in the "New Members Registration" section.
Said it before.
Newcomers to this forum are required to post about games they are currently developing or have already developed.
When Lin Li replied, besides advertising himself...
I will also provide some commentary on these games.
Occasionally, I'll also comment on some new posts and estimate sales figures.
This isn't the most outrageous thing.
The most outrageous thing is that these newcomer posts, which are full of predictions about sales, are often extremely exaggerated.
"We'll start with a million copies. Once it's on the Spark platform, you can try it out on Spark."
Or, "First-week sales should reach at least 50. If you don't have the money now, you can contact the Spark Overseas Games Foundation, and I'll approve the funding for you (laughs)."
When Lin Ligang posted similar comments, no one paid any attention to them.
However, the owners of these posts would reply to their own posts, thanking Lin Li for his comfort.
Some actually applied for the Spark Fund and received a sum of money.
A month or two passed, and everyone on the forum knew about Master Lin, who could give money.
Sometimes when people on the forum ask about funding issues, they also provide guidance.
That's all there is to it.
Later, Lin Li got busy and spent less time online.
I didn't take it seriously.
however.
The year is now 18.
Wow, with the release of several games that were once heavily reviewed on Steam, their sales are actually about the same as those games back then.
Some of the small factories that received investment from Spark Investment in the past have also achieved some success.
Every achievement adds another layer to the legend of the ID Master Lin.
More importantly.
Lin Li disappeared from public view in 18.
This brings together all the elements of the legend, and so on.
Posts that Master Lin had previously commented on have been dug up, and some busybodies have even compared them to games that have already been released.
The error was found to be less than 10%.
Furthermore, some of Lin Li's remarks were also dug up. At the time, they didn't seem like anything, but after these games were released, people realized that...
These comments are quite insightful.
In other words, Master Lin's assessment of sales figures wasn't just a guess.
Master Lin's reputation soared overnight.
In the game development community, it has become like an urban legend.
However, on ordinary days.
Everyone just expressed their feelings on the forum, and no one flew to China to visit. But today, Lin Li came to our doorstep.
That's a good guy.
Not long after Lin Li arrived at the salon in the morning, he was recognized as soon as he sat down to eat something.
At first, Lin Li found it quite interesting.
I was willing to chat, and as soon as we started chatting, wow... the more we talked, the more people joined in.
But at this very moment, you can't leave.
Otherwise, the good image you've built up before will instantly be half ruined.
If Lin Li hadn't created a platform, that would be one thing, but he has now created one.
Ever since.
Soon, almost half the companies at E3 had heard that Master Lin, with his mysterious abilities, was here!! Everyone wanted to know if their game would be a big hit! Hurry up and go!!
If you're too late, you might miss it!
Chapter 516 What should be done?
Watching Camille leave.
Chen Zhou was still muttering to himself, quite dissatisfied with what had just happened.
He felt that Lin Li was just putting on an act.
They just guessed the sales figures correctly.
It's like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse; how can you even boast about that?
However, Ma Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.
Although he had no experience in game development, he had been in the industry for a long time and had learned some things on his own.
Regardless of how Lin Li managed to do it.
There is one section.
That is, the large circle of small and medium-sized manufacturers surrounding Linli has a sense of admiration for Linli.
I admire the bosses of other companies.
This is not surprising, especially in the gaming industry, where many company owners are legendary figures. It's just that Lin Li is relatively young.
They are also willing to share.
Therefore, it enjoys considerable popularity within a certain range.
This level of popularity.
