Chapter 288

"Valve software" is one of the most popular emerging computer software game companies in the world. Although there is only one game developed by valve, half live, and the rest, such as anti terrorist elite and half life: tit for tat, are related derivative game software, it does not affect its position in the computer game industry at all.

Half life sold 9.3 million copies.

Half life: tit for tat sold 1.1 million copies.

Half life: Operation blue: 800000 copies.

"Anti terrorism elite" sold 4.2 million copies.

This series of achievements is enough to make the vast majority of computer game software companies blush, and with this fruitful sales results, valve has established its position in the computer game industry.

"Second world", the company was founded two years ago, acting as the agent of "legend" to drive the whole tide of online games. The launch of "Plants vs. Zombies" triggered the hot wave of leisure online games. Then it launched "dance group" to publicize the storm of leisure and entertainment online games. The recently launched "anti terrorism elite online" Asian Internet plan is even more incredible. Up to now, the monthly net profit is tens of millions of dollars. The future prospects are limitless.

The merger of these two companies is absolutely an earthquake that will change the pattern of the computer game software industry for the whole computer game industry.

When Lin Feng and gable were going to hold a press conference to announce the merger of the two companies, almost all the media that could be present were present.

Lin Feng and gable jointly announced the merger of "second world" and "valve".

With the merger of "second world" and "valve", the name of the new company is still "second world" (gable thinks that the name "second world" is very good, and they also hope to bring a second world to all players through the game).

The new "second world" game software company will develop online games and stand-alone games. The new "second world" game software company is 75% owned by the original "second world" and 25% owned by "valve".

In the past two days, Wu Zhaopu, Gabriel and others have been trying to evaluate the market value of their respective companies. After all, neither of the two companies has been listed on the stock market, which is not accurate and convincing. Finally, in order to solve this unnecessary dispute, Lin Feng invited Hurun to make use of Hurun's relationship and contacts in this respect. According to the evaluation of several authoritative experts, the market value of "second world" is US $3 billion, and that of "valve" is US $1 billion.

Originally, according to Hurun's estimation, "second world" has become the key to the interconnection of "anti terrorist elite online" in Asia due to its "cloud computing". The market value of this "cloud computing" alone is at least more than US $5 billion, but what Hurun did not expect is that the full copyright of "cloud computing" belongs to Lin Feng. Therefore, the $3 billion market value of the "second world" is neither much nor much.

During the evaluation, gable learned that this "cloud computing" was derived from the humble little software (BT) of Cohen, which Lin Feng acquired with us $50000. Let alone the regret in his heart.

Finally, the new "second world" shareholding ratio: Lin Feng holds 50.25%, Li Zekai holds 15%, Wu Zhaopu holds 3.75%, Cui Mingze holds 3.75%, Wang Meng holds 2.25%, gable holds 13%, Minh Le holds 8%, and the former "valve" management holds 4%.

Although Lin Feng's equity is just over 50%, it can't shake Lin Feng's position in the "second world" at all, and it still has absolute control. What's more, in the future, Lin Feng's personal assets will not be sold for cash, which will not have any impact on Lin Feng's position in the "second world".

As for the appointment and removal of the new "second world" personnel, Lin Feng is also the chairman and President, and Wu Zhaopu is the vice president in charge of the online game department; Gabriel is the vice president in charge of the single game department; Minh Le, the father of CS, served as the director of the fourth game development department, maintaining "anti terrorist elite online" and developing "World War II".

At the same time, the fifth game development department was established, with gable as the minister, responsible for the development of half life 2. Most of the employees are composed of members of the original "valve" game development team, and appropriately recruited several domestic programmers with solid technology.

After that, Lin Feng set up a "technology R & D department", with Cohen as minister, responsible for the research of "cloud computing". As for the ownership of "cloud computing", Lin Feng signed a letter of authorization for "second world" to use "cloud computing" free of charge. Of course, the copyright still belongs to Lin Feng himself.

After the reorganization, due to the differences between the two countries in terms of wages and benefits, especially the fact that most of the employees of "valve" are in Silicon Valley in the United States, there is too much gap between them and the domestic wages and benefits. If the domestic wages are still adopted, it will certainly lead to the dissatisfaction of the original "valve" employees. After careful consideration, Lin Feng reformulated a new wage structure.

The salary is divided into three levels. The salary level of each employee will be rated by the company's personnel department according to the level and business ability of each employee.

The average programmer's annual salary is 80000 dollars for the first level, 100000 dollars for the second level and 50000 dollars for the third level.

The annual salary of the first level programmer is 120000, that of the second level programmer is 200000, and that of the third level programmer is 100000 US dollars.

Art design, the annual salary of the first level is 50000, the second level is 80000, and the third level is 25000 US dollars.

......

This new wage structure has won the welcome of all employees in the company. Both the former "second world" employees and the former "valve" employees are extremely satisfied with it.

Lin Feng is also very satisfied with the wage structure. This can not only avoid the game production talents cultivated by the "second world" being poached by other companies, but also promote the healthy competition within the company. Especially now that the company has a "valea" game development team, these people are the original people who have successfully developed "half life". With their guidance, Lin Feng believes that this group of domestic programmers will soon grow up. Although it's the easiest way to find talents everywhere, it's not as good as the people you cultivate who have a sense of belonging and loyalty to the company. What's more, it has trained game making talents for the motherland, and it can also be regarded as a part of the development of the motherland's games.

Of course, this comprehensive wage adjustment not only brings passion and motivation to all employees of the company, but also greatly increases the wage cost of the "second world", but also unexpectedly solves the dissatisfaction of employees before.

Thanks to the success of the "second world", the legend, zombies and the dance troupe attracting many beauties have made the "second world" a big pot. Lin Feng has become the youngest Chinese mainland's richest man ever since. But for ordinary employees, wages have not increased, which makes most employees extremely dissatisfied and often complain. Of course, the most important reason is that the technical level of these employees only deserves such a high salary, but for the employees, they don't think about their own level. On the contrary, they think Lin Feng is too stingy. Although most of the employees didn't get a raise, the three-tier salary system also brought hope and motivation to all employees, which naturally eased their dissatisfaction.

Although the salary cost has increased several times, but fortunately "legend" and "dance group" of "second world" are hot now. Among the two games, "legend" is the most profitable, with a monthly net profit of about ten million US dollars. Although "dance group" is far less than "Legend" for the time being, its monthly net profit is also more than one million US dollars.

As the wage expenditure of "the second world" rises in a straight line, it has become the company with the highest salary among the domestic online game companies, but it has also become the company that all game talents want to work most. It has a bright future and a high salary. No one can refuse it“ The "second world" job has instantly become the dream job in the eyes of all game industry talents.

And for this merger, the industry is a cry - wolf!

Several important computer magazines in China have published the news of the merger of "second world" and "valve" in the most important space. After the merger, a new computer software game company involving single computer games and online games - "second world" has become the favorite of all media.

In the evening of that day, news network also focused on the news of the merger of "second world" and "valve". This is also the second time that Lin Feng has been on the news network. The last time was in the United States because of the "trial of the century" and on the "news network", but that time CCTV took into account various factors, almost just a word, unlike this time, Lin Feng appeared on the camera for three minutes. Three minutes on the "news network" is enough to prove the sensation caused by the merger and the importance attached by the state to Lin Feng.

Domestic media unanimously praised Lin Feng, saying that this is a big step for China's game industry to go out of the country and face the world, proving that China has the strength to compete with the world's excellent game manufacturers. Highly praised Lin Feng as Armstrong (the American who took the first step in Apollo's landing on the moon).

As for Lin Feng's competitors in China, they are resentful, lonely, jealous and unwilling. Obviously, they didn't expect that Lin Feng had such boldness to swallow up "valve" and become a game software company with the ability to develop stand-alone games and online games. For these domestic online game companies, more just online game operators, there is no game development ability. Undoubtedly, the annexation of Lin Feng has left them far behind. Let them be out of reach, even sighing（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
