Chapter 286: Chapter 280: Shocked

Translator: 549690339

Everyone found Finn Lewis’ words enigmatic. If this tea was served before a meal, most people would have scoffed at it, accusing Finn Lewis of being mysterious for the sake of it. But now, no one dared to ignore his words. At least Lewis had already given them a significant shock.

The tea was simple to drink. In fact, it didn’t even need to be consumed. As soon as the tea was placed on the table, everyone, including those who didn’t usually drink tea, knew it was excellent just from its aroma. Even the younger people were accustomed to drinking tea. Once the aroma hit, everyone knew it was good tea!

These people had even tasted the top-tier Lunar Tea and Chroma. The smell of this tea was not inferior to any of those high-end teas. After taking a sip, everyone was invigorated, and their faces showed a hint of surprise. The fragrance was pleasant, and it tasted even better to drink. Most importantly, when the tea hit their mouths, they felt as if a parched desert was hit by a rainfall, as if their bodies had become a bit lighter.

“Good tea, ” Mr. M complimented after Finn Lewis sat down, “If the tea wasn’t good, how would I continue to make your money?” Finn Lewis also speak in a light-hearted manner.

“Indeed, but I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you. Mr. Johnson should already know about it. I’ve communicated with him earlier.” Mr. M didn’t avoid the others at the table and spoke directly.

“Is it regarding the Gaming Alliance?” Finn Lewis asked, nodding. He had previously promised Mr. M, and of course, he wouldn’t go back on his word.

“Exactly.” Mr. M nodded. Although the Gaming Alliance was a minor part of T company’s broad strategy and not the company’s main focus, it was becoming advantageous due to the increasing types and pace of games.

The beauty of this game was that you could play it for a long time, then put it down and pick it up again without falling behind others. One would only need to adapt for a short period, and competitive games depended on the number of matches with players. As the players participating in the Game Alliance increased every year, its influence grew too.

However, there was a downside: balancing the skills of over a hundred heroes was a challenging task, much like the AP swordsman. Once developed, the AP swordsman would disrupt the game’s balance. Yet the development team couldn’t possibly consider all these aspects when designing the game.

But it was different for Finn Lewis. His dynamic data balancing system, initially used for computing dynamic equilibrium data for some large-scale spaceships, had a much higher data processing capability than a game. Plus, with Olivia Thatcher’s presence, Finn Lewis could achieve a real balance in this game.

“I want 51% of the development company’s shares.” After thinking for a while, Finn Lewis said bluntly.

“Acceptable, but we need to share the technology,” Mr. M replied promptly. He initially purchased the Game Alliance development company for about 600 million federal coins. He would need to account to the board of directors if he gave Lewis 300 million directly.

“Sharing the dynamic data balance system is impossible. I wouldn’t sell this system for 30 billion federal coins. However, I can share the game engine technology with you,” Finn Lewis considered and then replied.

A game engine… Mr. M immediately pondered over it. T company had many games, most of which were imitations of well-known domestic games, and used T company’s extensive user base to guarantee the game’s profitability.

But would a game be successful with a game engine alone? No, it’s only a part of it. Essentially, a game engine deals with the game’s graphics, and so forth. Just like the previous Southland Country’s game, many games were very impressive and were hugely popular even before entering the Flame Nation.

Yet, there was another problem, which was WY’s new game, Challenge of the World! WY’s new game is preparing to open new zones once again! The current peak online zones with over 5 million appear to have players queuing every day!

This implies that the game still has great potential to be exploited, with players from other games continually joining in. Most importantly, this game has achieved true balance as well as the Malya Kingdom tour promised by Finn Lewis for tens of thousands of players.

Unlike Mr. Lewis, Mr. M couldn’t be a Prodigal. “We can agree on sharing the game engine and having the right to use the dynamic data balance system, but without technology sharing. Meaning, you could help us balance our game data. As for the source codes and related data of these two systems, we can do without it.”

After a while, Mr. M looked up at Finn Lewis and spoke decisively. Finn Lewis looked at Mr. M with surprise. It was evident that Mr. M’s success wasn’t accidental.

“Okay,” Finn Lewis agreed promptly, “What about the matter with the professional league?” He thought for a moment before asking.

“Since you will own 51% of the company, you will have the final say on this,” Mr. M said with a faint smile.

“How about converting this money into T company’s shares?” Finn Lewis thought for a while and asked tentatively.

“What do you mean, Mr. Lewis?” Mr. M was surprised and looked at Finn Lewis with curiosity.

“I think we can have deeper cooperation. How about a stock exchange?” Finn Lewis suggested with a smile.

Most of T company’s shares were held by mih Investment Company in South

California. Of course, T company didn’t have absolute control. mih Investment

Company held approximately 33.65% of T company’s shares. Mr. M held about 10.13% of the shares. The remaining shares, apart from the 5% held by T company’s original founders, were mostly circulating on the market.

“Stock exchange?” Mr. M looked at Finn Lewis surprisingly. T company was a listed company, and changing its shares wasn’t that straightforward.

“Or we could exchange privately,” Finn Lewis thought for a while and added with a smile.

After thinking, Mr.. M, who wasn’t clear why Finn Lewis wanted to do this, hesitated for a long time before asking, “How many shares do you want to

exchange?”
