My rebirth is different

Moreover, the land price in San Francisco is also notoriously expensive in the United States, even more expensive than Los Angeles, the largest city in California, and comparable to New York.

"Discuss with the owner. I'll buy it for 6000 million yuan, and I'll pay it off in cash." Yu Wenfei said decisively, there was no room for bargaining.

Although he also knows that housing prices in San Francisco are not cheap, and it is not a disadvantage to buy such a large piece of land for 6000 million US dollars, but after all, it is only 2003 now, and 6000 million US dollars is really not a small number, so he does not believe it. Who else is willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy this park besides him.

The real estate consultant hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Okay, I will negotiate with the owner in a while, and try my best to help you fight for it."

In the evening, Effie received a call from the real estate consultant. The owner agreed to reduce the price, and she could sign the contract and go through the transfer procedures tomorrow.

A large number of people came from Facebook this time, and Effie also asked the staff to go through the branch registration procedures, and tomorrow they can directly sign and transfer in the name of Facebook Games North America Branch.

…………

The office address is settled, the company is registered, and the next step is the company personnel.

According to Effie's plan, a group of staff members will be sent from the headquarters in the initial stage to carry out the work, and at the same time, local recruitment will be carried out.

The North American branch also has a lot of work to do. It needs to build a data center, localize and launch Facebook Battle.net, and integrate Blizzard Battle.net and the Steam platform.

There are many things involved, the workload is also very large, and a considerable amount of manpower is required.

Of course, it is more important to have a leader, and this choice made Effie difficult.

"President Fei, what do you think of Brian taking charge of the North American branch?" Effie asked Yu Wenfei.

After thinking about it, Brian is the most suitable. He is from here, and he is very familiar with people from Blizzard and Valve, so it is more convenient to be in charge of coordinating these two companies.

"In the process of acquiring Blizzard this time, Bryan has contributed a lot, and he should be rewarded for his merits. However, I don't recommend letting him take full responsibility, because he is not familiar with Battle.net. The workload is much greater than that of Battle.net in China! Battle.net in North America will be more complicated than that in China. You must know that it also needs to integrate the steam platform. This game network sales channel will be the core business of Facebook games in the future. !” Yu Wenfei said seriously.

Effie also became serious. From Yu Wenfei's words, she heard that Yu Wenfei placed great hopes on North American Facebook Games, even more than China Facebook Games Corporation!

Indeed, according to what Yu Wenfei said, in the future, the Chinese Facebook game company will only be responsible for the business in the mainland.

As for the North American Facebook game company, it is going to be global!

No matter how many people there are in China, no matter how big the market is, it can't compare to the world. Of course, we need to invest more energy in the North American branch.

"That's good, I'll sit here by myself! The domestic business is on the right track, and I'll just let my deputy take care of it." Effie finally made up her mind and decided to serve as the boss of the North American branch by herself, and do a good job. I made a plan to fight again here.

"Yes, you will be fully responsible for the implementation of the Battle.net project, as well as the integration of Blizzard Battle.net and the steam platform. Let Brian be responsible for coordinating Blizzard and Valve, and he can also help the Facebook game sales platform to attract some big players in advance. Game manufacturer." Yu Wenfei said with satisfaction.

After the company's internal discussion and communication with Blizzard Valve, the North American Facebook game company decided to launch only one platform, integrating all the functions of Facebook Battle.net, Facebook chess and card games, Blizzard Battle.net, and steam platforms. !

This is also the suggestion that Fat G strongly insists on. According to him, it is to provide users with "minimalist operation, the most comprehensive service, the fastest network speed, and the best experience"!

All functions can be integrated on one platform, so why do we need to launch so many platforms? This not only makes users feel very troublesome, but also diverts users virtually.

In the end, Yu Wenfei listened to his opinion.

For these details, Yu Wenfei always likes to listen to the advice of professionals. What he is good at is controlling the general direction of the company, not specific businesses.

Fatty G has proved himself to be an Internet expert in this way, and of course Yu Wenfei will humbly accept his suggestions.

Therefore, the North American Facebook Game Company will bring only one product to global game users, and the name is "Facebook Game"!

English name "FACE GAME".

Abbreviated as "FG".

Chapter 559

The Facebook game product is very rich in content, including stand-alone games and online battles, such as CS battles, Diablo official servers, Warcraft battles, and interstellar battles.

There are also board games, such as chess, bridge, and Texas Hold'em, which are popular all over the world.

Plus, game sales channels are included!This item is to integrate the steam platform.

For this reason, Yu Wenfei also asked Bram Cohen, the famous "***** inventor" from Villefort, and asked him to be in charge of the underlying architecture design of the entire Facebook game!

It can be said that the domestic Battle.net platform is going to be redeveloped.

When there are not enough technical personnel in the North American branch, the technical department of domestic Facebook games will also participate and share part of the workload.

…………

The recruitment information of the North American branch of Facebook Games has just been released, and it has caused a sensation in the game circles across the United States when there is no response in the Internet circle.

"Whoa, Battle.net is coming to North America! Man, this is the best news I've heard in a while!"

"In the future, I don't have to be tortured by Chinese players with high PING value anymore. It's really worth opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate! But I want to know, can my account in China's Facebook Battle.net be transferred back, I have rushed to gold Duan, it took me nearly a month, I don’t want to just throw it away.”

"Facebook Games is the first Chinese company I know about. I never thought that such a backward country can now have such an excellent company. I love Facebook Battle.net! Blizzard Battle.net is really terrible in comparison!"

"Who doesn't love it? After all, the tier division and ranking system on Facebook Battle.net is really the first in the world! Playing CS on it is like switching to a different game. The experience is really full!"

"Brothers, the North American branch of Facebook Games has just been established and is recruiting people. How about it? Are you interested in applying for a job? Think about it, if you apply, you will be an employee of Facebook Battle.net in the future. Just put your own The background of the account has been upgraded to the king rank, hahaha..."

"Seriously speaking, I am optimistic about the development of Facebook games. You must know that they have acquired Blizzard and Valve! The Chinese are really rich..."

Facebook Games’ acquisition of Valve’s shares was not as fanciful as it was when it acquired Blizzard. The acquisition process was completed quietly, and of course it was not concealed from the outside world. Some newspapers and websites also reported it.

However, the game industry is not considered a mainstream industry in the first place, and naturally it will not cause much repercussions in the society. This news is just well known in the player circle.

"Jessie, I'm taking a break from school to apply for a job at Facebook!"

On the Stanford campus, Allen said to Jesse with a serious face.

Jesse was surprised, "Are you crazy? You're only a junior this year, and it's not time to go out to work yet!"

"So what, I don't think it means much to me to stay in school, and I don't like to study technology. I think my development direction should be marketing operations and promotion, and what I like and pay attention to the most It’s a game! So I think Facebook’s entry into the North American market this time is also an opportunity for me. I am very, very optimistic about the development of this company! Now that their company has just been established and is in urgent need of various talents, I don’t think I can hesitate.” Allen also replied seriously.

If it is in China, this kind of thinking is dangerous, and parents and teachers will not agree.

It took a lot of twists and turns for Effie to drop out of school, and it was only after she had achieved the position of department manager that she had the courage to make the decision.

But in Europe and the United States, this is really not a problem.

Just like Allen, he didn't intend to tell his family about his suspension of school this time.Of course, even if he said it, the family would only support his idea and would not obstruct it.

How to choose your own life path is up to you.

"Well, I wish you success." Seeing that Allen had made up his mind, Jesse could only give him blessings. After all, they were also neighbors, so they were friends.

Allen really didn't hesitate, and even to express his determination, he first went through the formalities of suspension of school as quickly as possible, then simply packed his luggage, and drove straight to the North American branch of Facebook Games!

He was right.
