Chapter 210 The best Tianba player turned out to be

Chapter 210 The best Tianba player is...

When Chen Ba originally named his studio, he never expected that "Tianba" would become a popular name for newborns.

Come on, this is really cool!

Zhang Tianba met Wang Tianba, and the two met to apply for a job at Tianba Studio. The interviewer was named Xu Tianba, and his wife was named Zhou Tianba...

How about playing tongue twisters here?

Chen Ba was speechless about the behavior of these young parents, because in his opinion, this naming method was no different from Zi Han Zi Han in his early years.

But then again.

"Love Counselor" has not matched many couples and couples to a certain extent, so the scenario envisioned by Chen Ba will most likely not happen.

in other words.

The name "Tianba" will not be the same as Zihan Zihan, with the same name everywhere. Because outside Tianba Community, how could so many children have this name?

You don’t really think that “Love Counselor” matches a lot of couples, do you?

Trivia!

Since the launch of "Love Staff", although it has successfully matched many players and helped many players find their partners, but...

Most players are in a relationship, and the proportion that actually reaches the stage of "marriage" is not high.

Chen Ba has also observed this.

"Love Staff" is, after all, the studio's image project, and there is no room for failure. He was also full of curiosity as to why the matchmaking rate was so high but the marriage rate was not.

He found out through observation.

Most of the players in "Love Staff" are in love, and there are two main reasons why they are not in a hurry to get married.

First, I want to have more contacts.

As the saying goes, it takes time to see a person's heart. Whether two people are suitable for each other will definitely not be obvious in a short period of time. It will take more time to get together to draw a conclusion.

The second reason is more complicated...

No matter how magical "Love Staff" is, it is just a game. Since it is a game, it is no different from "online dating" to family members.

When two people fall in love, it is a matter between two young people, as long as they like each other.

But when two people get married, it is a major event for the two families. Sometimes the opinions of two young people really don't count in the face of family pressure.

Chen Ba has witnessed several regrets.

A couple got to know each other and fell in love through "Love Counselor". After the relationship was exposed, not only did they not receive blessings, but they were banned from interacting with each other by their parents.

A divorced middle-aged uncle met a woman who was also single with children through "Love Counselor". They originally decided to get married and raise the children together.

As a result, the woman's son went around shouting that his mother had cuckolded his father, and even went to complain to his grandparents...

If this happens, the marriage of these two people will naturally be out of the question.

There are many similar situations.

If you often visit the community, especially the content related to "Love Staff", you will find that although the game matches the player with the most correct person, not everyone can be happy.

It can only be said that the game's matching mechanism is not so advanced that even each other's "families" can be 100% consistent.

…

Zhang Pengfei gave birth to a son, named Zhang Tianba, and Chen Ba also sent a special congratulatory gift.

This is also how it should be.

As a popular player in "Love Staff", Zhang Pengfei has been the subject of interviews and reports from various media over the years.

Every time he faces the camera, he will say good things about "Love Staff" and "Tianba Studio". Both emotionally and rationally, Chen Ba should accept his affection.

Speaking of which...

Among the millions of players in Tianba's games, there are not many players who can gain Chen Ba's attention like Zhang Pengfei and prepare special gifts for him.

Hu Hui is one of them.

Hu Hui, whose online name is "Huizi", has shown super hands-on ability since he was a child. But he really shined after the game "Speed" was released...

Huiba Automobile, a new energy vehicle company whose R\u0026D center is set up in the game and builds cars through the game, has now gone through three rounds of financing, with a valuation of over 50 billion, and is planning to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Once listed, Hu Hui, a young man under thirty years old, is very likely to become a new billionaire!

There is no doubt that this is the most successful representative among all Tianba game players.

He is even richer than Chen Ba.

No joke!

Although Huiba Automobile also had shares in Chen Ba, it did not hold much at the beginning, let alone after dilution in multiple rounds of financing, it became even less.

It can only be said that the success of Huiba Automobile today is partly due to Hu Hui's outstanding ability and partly due to Huazi's technical support. Chen Ba only played the role of a cheerleader here.

At the beginning, he invested tens of millions casually, but now the valuation is as high as more than 3 billion, which is beyond Chen Ba's expectation.

Be reasonable.

If it hadn't been for Huizi Qian's warning and Wan's instructions to Brother Ba not to rush to cash out, Chen Ba would have been unable to help himself in the face of such a high valuation.

In fact, in the third round of financing, when major investment banks valued Huiba Automobile at 50 billion, Chen Ba wanted to change his hands and run away.

In his opinion, this valuation is too false.

How many cars has Huiba Automobile sold? Those old car companies don't have such a high market value, so why can Huiba Auto be valued at 50 billion?

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Hu Hui told Chen Ba that if he wanted to run away, it would be better to run away now. When the company is officially listed, it would not be too late for Chen Ba to run away again.

Let’s run away now, let’s not say who will take over the 6% shares. Even if we can find someone to take over, the current price will definitely not be the highest price.

In fact, it’s okay not to run.

According to Hu Hui, the company's valuation must be in a certain bubble, but Huiba Auto is not without its merits, and holding shares for a long time will certainly not make a loss.

the most important is……

Huiba Automobile will be launched soon!

Chen Ba, who holds 6% of the shares, will become the third largest shareholder. The third largest shareholder is selling off its shares, which is not a good thing for the company.

Maybe the stock price fell below the issue price just after it went public.

"Then I won't run."

After listening to Hu Hui's analysis, Chen Ba also felt that as the third largest shareholder of Huiba Motors, running away was not an easy task.

Since you can't run away, and as Hu Hui said, Huiba Automobile's future is very bright, and there is still room for the company's market value to continue to increase after its listing, then take it in your hands!

Chen Ba is not short of money anyway.

The current cash out of these 6% shares is only 3 billion, but if Huiba Automobile develops better and better, it will be more than 3 billion.

"Hey, that's right!"

After a long time of earnest persuasion, Brother Ba finally gave up the idea of ​​cashing out and running away, and Hu Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Brother Ba!"

"With so much liquidity in your Tianba Studio, doesn't it have any other uses besides developing games?"

"It has other uses!"

Chen Ba denied it.

With so much money on the books of Tianba Studio, it is natural that it is not just lying around and earning interest. It must be used for other purposes.

In addition to the funds set aside for the development of new games, Tianba Studio will also make a series of investments. It's just that Tianba Studio's investment is more concentrated in the special field of "God's Grace Animation".

That’s right, Divine Grace Animation!

Since the release of "God's Grace Continent", which gave birth to a new category of "God's Grace Animation", Tianba Studio has invested heavily in this field.

For example...

Although the production team of the recently popular Shen’en animation is from abroad, the investor is Tianba Studio.

There are many similar examples.

Last year, a total of about 7,240 divine grace animations were broadcast around the world. Among them, there are more than 80 divine grace animations, produced using the personalized customized version of "God's Grace Continent".

Among these more than 80 works, about half have investment from Tianba Studio.

no way!

Personalized customization services are too expensive, and many animation companies and animation production teams are reluctant to part with them. However, the film effect of the personalized customization service is very good, far better than the professional version.

then what should we do?

If Tianba Studio serves as an investor and provides personalized customized software and funds, wouldn't the problem be solved?

Anyway, it is not an investment to find someone to invest in. If you invest in La Tianba Studio, you can also use the personalized customized version of "God's Grace Continent" for free. It is really profitable!

Because of this, Tianba Studio spends a large sum of money every year to invest in multiple Shen’en animations.

There are both losses and profits from these investments.

Generally speaking, it is profitable. After all, compared with the return on investment, the production cost of Shen'en Animation is too low.

Not to mention, the production software of Shen'en Animation is Tianba Studio's own, which is equivalent to free use. There is no software licensing fee, so the cost is even cheaper.

The only pity is...

Because the competition in Shen'en Animation is too fierce, unless it is the ultimate hit, even if it makes money, it will not make much money.

It’s more stable to collect tolls!

Thinking of this, Chen Ba also made a plan. Starting from this year, the studio will no longer invest in the production of Shen'en animation.

It's good to collect tolls honestly. At least the money will be stable and the income will be guaranteed during droughts and floods! You can’t make a lot of money by investing in Shen’en Animation, so why bother?

"Brother Ba..."

After hearing that Brother Ba had money in his hands and seemed unable to spend it, Hu Hui was somewhat moved and said, "How about increasing our holdings of some shares? 6% is still too little. How about increasing it to 10%?"

"Don't try to trick me!"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "I think 6% is too much. It's hard to run away. You still want me to increase my holdings? You want me to be completely locked in, right?"

What a joke!

At Huiba Auto, he promised Hu Hui not to run away, which was already the bottom line. After all, according to his original idea, if he goes public, he will cash out and run away.

It is impossible to increase holdings.

Despite the turmoil that these new car-making forces are doing now, it is still unknown how many of them will survive in two years.

Maybe the whole family wouldn't survive.

Anyway, Chen Ba didn't believe this and asked him to increase his shares in Huiba Automobile. He would rather continue to invest in Shen'en Animation. At least this thing can see the future, and he won't invest this year and then stop operations next year.

"Okay, if you don't like it, forget it."

Hu Hui didn't seem surprised by this answer. He probably also realized that Brother Ba and he were not on the same road.

But then again.

The company is about to go public. Regardless of whether he is a member of the company or not, at least on the day of listing, Chen Ba has to go to the scene to perform a scene with Hu Hui.

"Can you not go?"

"No! You are the third largest shareholder and the co-founder of Huiba Automobile..."

Chen Ba had to go.

At such an important moment for the company to go public, as the third largest shareholder + co-founder, it really makes sense for him not to be there.

Then go take a trip!

However, the listing process has not yet been completed. When the bell rings, it will probably be April or May, so Chen Ba is not in a hurry.

Compared with this matter, Qadir, who had never given up on him and chased him all the way from America to Asia, crossing the entire Pacific just to persuade him, gave him an even bigger headache.

This guy is so shameless!

Tianba Studio had clearly rejected him, but he still stayed in Jiangning and refused to leave. He called Chen Ba regularly every day to introduce his grand blueprint.

"Mr. Qadir, I admit that your idea is very attractive, but is there a possibility that we can do all this without cooperating with you?"

"Then can I join you?"

Chen Ba: "..."

He thought of ten thousand answers, but he never expected that in order to get what he wanted, this old guy was willing to bring his men to join Tianba Studio.

This is crazy.

For a moment, Chen Ba admitted that he was moved. After all, Kadir's team was indeed quite famous in the industry.

If Tianba Studio can recruit this team, it will definitely greatly enhance the studio's game development capabilities.

But then he thought about it, Kadir was clearly here for the Tianba Engine.

To put it bluntly, his idea of ​​joining Tianba Studio was not simple, he had a strong sense of utilitarianism and purpose. If he was asked to bring people to join Tianba, they might all run away in two days.

certainly!

Kadir's team cannot be eaten by Tianba Studio. But in order to take advantage of the "anti-cheating" capabilities of the Tianba engine and develop more interesting FPS games, Chen Ba does intend to merge and acquire a game team that specializes in FPS.

This is not difficult to understand.

FPS is a game genre where monsters are rampant and the world is in chaos.

Tianba Studio has never made this kind of game before. Not to mention the lack of experience, the adjustment of many firearms' ballistics is not even close to the level.

In this case, merging a team that specializes in making FPS games and using their accumulated data experience will undoubtedly save a lot of energy.

The goal is already there.

A "sniper" studio that may not be well-known abroad, but is somewhat famous in China.

The most famous work of this studio is the Sniper series of stand-alone games. It still holds the sales record for domestic FPS games, with more than 1.8 million copies sold.

But this is all old history.

The Sniper series is just like Fairy Sword, each one is more popular than the last. Until now, it is difficult for sales to exceed 500,000.

Because of this, they encountered a serious debt crisis and could be bought by Chen Ba and merged into Tianba Studio to specialize in developing FPS games.

Oh yes!

Although this sniper studio has a great reputation and even carries the title of "studio", in fact, it only has six core members.

At this scale, Chen Ba is embarrassed to use the word "mergers and acquisitions". To be precise, he just spent money to poach six senior FPS game developers.
