Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

"Although dota has begun to decline, its foundation remains."

"The number of players accumulated over the years is an extremely terrifying number."

"The most important thing is that Dota players are older and their spending power is gradually upgrading."

Su Ze raised a soul question.

“Compared with the spending power of a middle-aged person or ten school students, which one is stronger?”

Zhou Wenming nodded thoughtfully.

When people reach middle age, they still have time to play Dota, and most of their lives are pretty good.

Paying thousands of dollars for the feelings of your youth is like playing.

Su Ze had heard people talk about it in his previous life.

Dota2's ti prize money is the highest among all e-sports competitions in the world.

Many big dog owners in the Middle East are loyal fans of Dota.

They not only put money into the game, but also used their own money to host competitions at home.

Therefore, Dota2 may not be able to surpass League of Legends in terms of popularity.

But in terms of profitability, there won't be much difference.

Zhou Wenming drove Su Ze in a rented Hummer to a coffee shop in downtown San Diego, California.

Sitting by the window were two foreigners, one fat and one thin.

Among them, the thin one looks quite handsome, and his words and deeds are modest and restrained, which makes a very good impression on others.

The fat one has a full beard, and with his body shape, he looks like a lion wearing clothes from a distance.

"This is the Ice Frog."

Zhou Wenming pointed at the thin foreigner and introduced.

"hello."

Su Ze stepped forward and shook hands with Ice Frog.

"As for this..."

Zhou Wenming looked at the fat man next to him, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"G fat." Su Ze blurted out.

Most players who have played games on the Steam platform in the past are familiar with this title.

As the famous boss of "V Club", G Fat's status in the gaming industry has always been quite magical.

It clearly owns a game company with a market value of tens of billions, but it refuses to go public.

In the current increasingly complicated market atmosphere, G Fat actually took the lead in taking vacations.

So much so that they are even nicknamed "Vacation Club" by players.

Moreover, the company's internal management model is also extremely unique.

Most companies have a layer-by-layer structure, but V Company is flat.

In other words, there is no so-called management, everyone is an employee.

It is different from large companies like Penguin and NetEase that often start with thousands of employees.

V Company has only a few hundred employees.

"what?"

Zhou Wenming thought he heard wrongly.

After all, g fat doesn’t really look like a formal title.

"Gabe."

Fatty G took the initiative to introduce himself to Su Ze.

His smile is cute and naive, giving people a very friendly feeling.

Su Ze's face turned a little ugly.

Because Dota2 in the previous life was produced by V Club.

Now that he and Ice Frog appeared at the same time, and today's conversation was about the Dota remake, Su Ze had already anticipated that the atmosphere today might not be very harmonious.

"What does it mean?"

Su Ze asked the ice frog.

Ice Frog didn't shy away from it and explained the reason straight to the point.

"You are not the only one who mentioned the Dota remake project to me."

"Actually, Gabe contacted me earlier, but I personally prefer to cooperate with Blizzard."

Fatty G nodded.

He actually agreed with Ice Frog's idea: "Yes, Blizzard's model is the flesh and blood of Dota. This is indeed a good idea."

Su Ze smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

Because the results of the previous life are too clear. In the end, the production company of Dota 2 was V Club, not Blizzard.

Although Blizzard later made a Heroes of the Storm similar to Dota in an attempt to compete with Dota 2.

But it's a pity that it was at its peak when it debuted, and its popularity has been tepid.

Ice Frog smiled bitterly.

He shrugged and said: "Blizzard's design department said that I am just an amateur player. The copyright of the map originally belongs to them, and I am not qualified to discuss cooperation with them."

"Can you imagine? They just sent me away with an email, without even giving me a chance to say no face to face."

Fatty G slapped the table angrily.

"Damn it!"

"These people are really ignorant!"

"Are you glad I didn't work with this group of people, otherwise I might have been pissed to death!"

If it were anyone else, Su Ze might have thought he was acting.

Use this to gain favorability in front of the ice frog.

But this is fat.

V Club is a rare game manufacturer that does not want games to form a formal professional league.

Their ideal e-sports competition is a group of players with common interests and hobbies, getting together to play casually.

But nowadays, e-sports competitions are becoming more and more professional, and the threshold is getting higher and higher.

G Fat believes that this deviates from their original intention of creating the game.

But on the other hand, we have to admit that only in this model can clubs make money and the popularity of the game can continue to be maintained.

Even so, they still have not forgotten their original intentions.

The annual "Oyster Cup" is always licensed by V Club and appears in the event column of the in-game client.

Although the competition only involves a handful of players from a specific area, and the prize is only 100 oysters.

"As long as you are willing, I can provide you with the funds you need to redevelop Dota."

Su Ze made his attitude straightforward.

Fatty G smiled and said, "Young friends, we can also provide this."

"We agree to all the conditions you proposed." Su Ze continued to add.

Ice Frog's eyes lit up.

The fat guy next to him shrugged: "Okay, you win."

Zhou Wenming secretly clenched his fists, his face full of joy.

But unexpectedly, Fatty G immediately said to Ice Frog: "Since they agree to your conditions, then we will agree too."

Speaking of this, Su Ze and Zhou Wenming both understood.

The reason why Ice Frog met Su Ze was actually to raise the price with Fatty G.

In other words, he hopes to cooperate with V Club rather than Su Ze.

Zhou Wenming was very angry. He felt that Ice Frog was completely wasting their time.

But Su Ze signaled him to calm down.

From a business perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with Ice Frog doing this.

V Club is an old game company with sufficient strength.

Moreover, V Company is a local enterprise in the beautiful country, so it is convenient for Bingwa to work here.

The only thing that isn't right is the price, which has been agreed upon now.

With more money and less things to do, being close to home, Bingwa had no reason not to choose v agency.

"Sorry, Mr. Su."

"It's a pity that I can't cooperate with you this time."

"If there is a chance next time, I will definitely give you priority."

Ice Frog said with some embarrassment.
