Not long after Raúl left, Ms. Isabelle Christy, who had agreed to meet Xiao Yunhai at Marvel, brought five or six well-dressed and energetic young men and women to his office.
Xiao Yunhai stood up and shook hands with everyone. "Welcome to Marvel Comics, everyone. We'll be a family from now on. Don't stand on ceremony, please take a seat."
After everyone was seated, Christy looked around the magnificent office and smiled. "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to know how to enjoy himself."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I'm just basking in my predecessor's glory. I only come here a few times a year, so I don't have the time for such extravagance. "
Christie smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Mr. Xiao, last night's Oscar ceremony was very lively. It's the first time I've heard of a bet as high as 20 billion US dollars. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Hua Xia has a saying, 'If you don't take advantage, you're a bastard.' I had no choice. Someone insisted on giving me 20 billion US dollars, so I couldn't refuse. "
"Hahaha."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Christy asked, "So you're saying that you're confident of winning the bet?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course. I'm not a risk-taker. I never do things that I'm not confident of. "
Christy said jokingly, "Since you can earn 20 billion US dollars, shouldn't you invest in the investment company we're about to set up?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Ms. Christy, you really know how to take advantage of the situation. No problem, wait until early December. After I win the bet, I'll get the Swiss bank to transfer the money directly to our investment company. "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that.
A beautiful and sexy Caucasian woman in her thirties asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you really agree to invest another 20 billion US dollars?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course, but there's a condition. That is, your results must satisfy me. "
The white beauty puffed up her full chest and said confidently, "There's absolutely no problem."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said to Christy, "Looks like there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your team."
Christy said, "They are all very outstanding. Mr. Xiao, this is the contract I drafted based on our conversation the day before yesterday. You can read it carefully. If there is no problem, you can just sign your name at the back. "
Xiao Yunhai took the contract from her hand, read it carefully one by one, and then signed his name at the back.
Both parties received a copy each, and the employment relationship was officially established.
Christy took out a large stack of documents from a briefcase and handed them to Xiao Yunhai. She said, "Mr. Xiao, these are the projects we've been looking forward to recently. Can you take a look and see if there's anything wrong with them?"
Xiao Yunhai flipped through two pages and smiled bitterly. "Why don't you tell me about it, so I don't have to waste time."
Christy nodded and glanced at the Caucasian woman. She said, "Demi, introduce them."
Demi stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, after half a year of serious investigation, we think there are three companies worth investing in. "One is Storm Game Company. They made three large-scale online games before, but unfortunately, all of them ended in failure, causing them to be heavily in debt. "I heard that the three founders of Storm Game Company are leading their team to make a game called World of Warcraft. Due to a lack of funds, they had to ask for help from venture capital companies. "But none of the companies are optimistic about them, and they are now on the verge of collapse. "Starr, who is in our team, is very familiar with one of the founders. He even played one of the games they made and thought it was very good. "So, we listed it as our first investment target."
Hearing Demi's words, Xiao Yunhai couldn't believe his ears.
World of Warcraft was a very famous game in his previous life. Xiao Yunhai had been working hard for his dream, but when he was bored, he played World of Warcraft for a long time and even made a lot of money from it.
However, this game seemed to have been developed by the world's best game company, Blizzard, in the nineties. How did it become Storm Game Company now? Also, the timing didn't match. Could it be the butterfly effect?
"Mr. Xiao … Mr. Xiao, are you listening to me?" Demi asked unhappily when she saw Xiao Yunhai's blank expression.
Xiao Yunhai came back to his senses and said, "Of course."
Demi asked, "Then what do you think of Storm Game Company?"
Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and said, "I want to see the game they made myself. If it's really good, we can consider investing. "
Although the two worlds were similar and the game's name was World of Warcraft, Xiao Yunhai couldn't guarantee whether it was the same game as the one in his previous life. That was why he asked them to come.
Demi said, "That's great. Storm Game Company isn't far from here. We can ask them to bring the information over. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then let's inform them now."
Seeing that the team's first investment suggestion was accepted by Xiao Yunhai, Christy was also very happy. She said, "Starr, go and drive them over. Storm is so poor that they don't even have a car. "
A young man beside her nodded, stood up, and left.
Demi continued, "The second company we have high hopes for is a jewelry company called …"
Other than Storm Game Company, Xiao Yunhai had no objections to the other two companies.
After Demi finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, you don't have to report everything to me. If it's less than two billion dollars, you can decide for yourselves. As long as you don't do anything illegal, you can do whatever you want. I only look at the year-end results. "
Christy smiled and said, "I now realize that working with you is indeed very comfortable. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I can take it as a compliment."
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai didn't put on any airs, the others chatted with him. Soon, they all became good friends.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door outside.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Looks like they're here. Come in."
The door opened, and two people walked in. It was Starr and a young man in his twenties with an unhealthy complexion.
Starr said, "Mr. Xiao, this is Mr. Alan Adham, one of the three founders of Storm Game Company. The other two aren't in the company."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and shook hands with Adhan, saying, "I'm very happy to meet you."
Alan Adham seemed to be very cheerful. When he saw Xiao Yunhai, he wasn't restrained at all. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you. All the employees of Storm Game Company are your fans. When they heard that you wanted to meet me, they were all very envious. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. Please take a seat."
After asking someone to bring him a cup of coffee, Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Adham, I think Starr should've told you that I'm very interested in your Storm Game Company. Can you tell me about the World of Warcraft you made?"
Adham nodded and said, "Of course, I'm here for it."
He took out a disc from his bag and said, "Mr. Xiao, to be honest, we've approached many venture capital companies. Unfortunately, no one was willing to invest. Later, we felt that the method was wrong. Games should be played, not talked about. So, we copied part of the completed game onto the disc. If you're interested, you can give it a try. "
This was what Xiao Yunhai wanted. He smiled and said, "That's great. I'm a game expert. "
Putting the disc into the computer, Xiao Yunhai opened the game interface.
