"Brother Lin, what kind of company are you starting that needs to buy so many computers? In this era, there really aren't that many places that use computers. Most companies only buy a few for convenience in the office."
Lin Hao buying 200 units at once is more than even a small internet company would use.
"A gaming company. I just secured the agency for a game in South Korea and am preparing to launch it in China."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Da Qiangzi didn't expect that Lin Hao would actually start a gaming company. He had previously thought it might be an internet company. After the 2000 dot-com bubble, most internet companies haven't recovered until now, but gaming companies are living very comfortably.
Last year's "The Legend of Mir" is a very good example. Shanda, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly became the most profitable internet company in China.
Seeing this, other internet companies also rushed to develop games, such as NetEase and Tencent, who are also busy making games now. NetEase is doing relatively well, first coming up with "Fantasy Westward Journey" and later "Westward Journey Online". As for Tencent, they spent a lot of money but failed to develop their own games. Later, seeing how profitable agency games were, they also followed suit and started acting as agents.
This led Tencent down a path of no return. Even when Lin Hao was reborn, Tencent's self-developed games were not great; they basically relied on agency games.
"Gaming companies are profitable. Even I, someone who doesn't play games much, know about the game "Legend". Now, all the internet cafes are filled with this game."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Da Qiangzi immediately followed up, "Brother Lin is about to make a big splash. I'll wish your game great success in advance here." Da Qiangzi picked up his wine glass and said to Lin Hao.
"Then I'll take President Liu's auspicious words." Lin Hao raised his glass and clinked it. They both drank it down.
"To be honest, the company has just been founded, and we are in urgent need of talent. I wonder if President Liu could recommend one or two relevant individuals."
What Lin Hao actually wanted was Da Qiangzi, but unfortunately, it wasn't the right time yet. Da Qiangzi is already worth tens of millions, with several stores across China, and he is also an ambitious person. He wouldn't abandon his own company and come to his side, but there will be a very good opportunity next year.
"Speaking of that, there really is one. He's my junior from college, very professional in gaming. He used to work at "China Youth Daily" and also started a website called Visual China with a few friends. Now he has resigned and is unemployed at home."
Lin Hao didn't expect there actually was someone. He had just asked casually, with no real hope.
"That's great! I just need someone like that now. Why don't we invite him over to meet everyone?"
Lin Hao's words surprised Da Qiangzi. He didn't expect Lin Hao to be in such a hurry, even while eating. However, thinking about it, this was also good. He immediately called his junior on the spot.
"Xueling, what are you doing? I'm having dinner with a friend who's in the gaming business. Yes, yes. I was thinking you're an expert in this field, and you're currently unemployed. I told him about you, and he's very interested. He wants to talk to you in person right now. Well then, we'll be waiting for you."
Lin Hao saw Da Qiangzi hang up the phone and quickly asked.
"I heard you call him Xueling just now. May I know his last name?" When Lin Hao heard the name Xueling, he thought of someone, but he wasn't sure if it was the person he knew.
"His last name is Li, Li Xueling. He was my junior at Renmin University."
Hearing this, Lin Hao confirmed that it was indeed that Li Xueling, the founder of Duowan Games, YY Voice, and Huya Live in his previous life. This person is a big shot.
He didn't expect to run into him. Then he couldn't let him get away.
Before long, Li Xueling arrived. He lived nearby. When he entered the private room, Lin Hao and Da Qiangzi both stood up to greet him.
Li Xueling wore glasses and was neatly dressed. He wasn't as unkempt as Lin Hao had imagined, and he looked very energetic.
Lin Hao was observing Li Xueling, and Li Xueling was also observing Lin Hao. Today, he received a call from Da Qiangzi saying that a gaming company was very interested in him and wanted to talk to him in person.
He himself is very passionate about games, and hearing Da Qiangzi's words sparked a strong interest. He knew Da Qiangzi and that he wouldn't recommend someone unreliable to him.
However, looking at Lin Hao's appearance now, he felt suspicious. The main reason was that Lin Hao was too young. Could he be a student?
"Xueling, let me introduce you. This is Lin Hao, the person I told you about on the phone. He has already secured the agency for a game from South Korea and is preparing to bring it to the China market. He's getting ready to make a big splash."
Hearing Da Qiangzi's words, Li Xueling became interested. Since Shanda's Legend became popular, Korean games have been receiving a lot of attention in the Chinese gaming circle. A while ago, The9 gaming company was also going to act as an agent for a Korean game, but it seems there have been problems recently.
"It's not exactly an agency. I've already purchased the game "Miracle MU" for 10 million us dollars. The copyright is now completely mine, and I have established a gaming company in South Korea that will continue to develop this game and also develop new games."
Lin Hao's words surprised both Da Qiangzi and Li Xueling. Da Qiangzi was surprised by Lin Hao's 10 million us dollars, which is equivalent to 100 million rmb. Lin Hao looked very young and not old, where did he get so much money? He himself had worked hard for many years and was only worth 10 million now.
And Li Xueling was also a little surprised to hear 10 million us dollars, but he was more surprised by the game "Miracle MU". As a veteran gamer, he certainly knew about this game. It was the most popular game in South Korea last year. Although it's not as popular today, its influence is still very great. It is said that The9 went to South Korea to act as an agent for this game. Could it be that the young man in front of him intercepted it? It seems the online rumors that something unexpected happened with The9's agency were true.
Lin Hao noticed their expressions, and the effect was very good. Lin Hao deliberately revealed it just now to show his strength. It was impossible to hide his capabilities. He wanted to take both of these people with him. Without showing his strength, how could he convince others?
Leaving Da Qiangzi aside for now, Lin Hao absolutely had to poach Li Xueling in front of him to his company. He was going to the United States when school started, and someone definitely had to look after the company. Li Xueling in front of him was very good. He came from a technical background, and his understanding of games was also top-notch. He was the most suitable candidate.
"Did you really buy "Miracle MU"?" Li Xueling asked excitedly.
"Of course, I wouldn't joke about something like this."
