BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99: Twtich’s Propose
"Let your money work for you." Alex said smiling as he decided what percentage he would receive from companies that would like to join Oasis.
Of course, Alex only intended to release access to Oasis to other companies when Oasis became a true hub and finally disconnected from Fortnite, for now he would be the sole provider of this and would be the only one to receive the profits as well, but that didn\'t stop Alex to make a way for companies to contact Mojang.
Of course, instead of using email like other companies do, Alex made Mojang\'s headquarters in Oasis and assigned some NPCs to act as receptionists for tech support for players.
Alex envisioned the area as a large Apple Store, but with a more luxurious look that still remained player-friendly.
People with doubts or suggestions could talk to an NPC who could help the player or write down the suggestion for Alex, thus filtering out everything that was useless so Alex didn\'t have to worry about it.
To facilitate this he even made sure that the manager NPC at Mojang HQ had his contact, so he could get in touch with Alex when something important happened, and to Alex\'s surprise, before long something did.
"Mr. Notch, a man claiming to be President of Twitch is here and wants to meet you." The calm, collected voice of the store manager that Alex projected came through the communicator.
Alex raised an eyebrow at that, interested he replied. "Okay, tell them I\'ll be there in 5 minutes."
After answering that, Alex finished configuring some things that he read interesting in the suggestions that players left before transporting himself to Mojang headquarters while assuming Notch\'s form.
He had made an office on the top floor of the Mojang headquarters building, in case he ever needed it, so this was exactly where he teleported.
Initially he intended to receive the guest here at the office, but he was curious to know how the company\'s reception was going and decided to go downstairs and meet in person with the Twitch representative.
When the elevator door opened, Notch saw that there were at least 150 players talking to NPCs wearing Mojang\'s red cape.
Most of the players were chatting quite friendly with the NPCs, as Alex had set up quite a nice personality for them. Probably with many not even realizing they were talking to NPCs.
Looking around, he saw the manager talking to a man in his 30s with an excited expression.
As Notch walked towards them, the other players noticed Notch and started recording and taking pictures using the game\'s virtual camera, intending to show them to friends and family. Fortunately no one tried to approach.
Seeing the other people\'s commotion, the player who was talking to the manager also noticed Notch and even straightened his spine while instinctively trying to tighten his tie, before realizing that he wasn\'t wearing a tie at the moment.
Notch just smiled at the man\'s attitude.
The player, by the name of [EShear] extended his hand to Notch and said. "Hello Mister Notch, it\'s a pleasure to finally meet you, my name is Emmett Shear."
Notch continued smiling and replied "Nice to meet you, Emmett. How are you finding Oasis?"
Emmett heard this and looked around in wonder. "It\'s exactly as the name says, a real Oasis, a place where even the poorest people from third world countries can get good fun with friends for a low price, or even without spending a penny. You are a genius!"
"No \'Sir\' needed, Emmett, just \'Notch\' is fine." Notch waved his hand. "But I\'m happy with your assessment, I think Oasis still has a lot to show the world.
Emmett didn\'t think twice and nodded, completely agreeing with what Notch said, from the little he saw, he was already fascinated, imagine what still lurks in this mysterious man\'s mind.
Thinking about it, Emmett soon remembered why he had come. "Si– Notch, I believe you have a good impression of Twitch?" He asked a little nervously.
Notch nodded and agreed. "Of all streaming platforms, I believe Twitch is the best for Gamers, although it still has a lot of room for improvement."
Hearing that, Emmett got even more excited and continued. "Yes, yes, I know very well how much Twitch can still improve, before the launch of Minecraft our average viewers did not reach 5 million daily, while with the launch of Minecraft, this average increased to almost 100 million! I believe that if it weren\'t for Mojang\'s help in this regard, maybe our servers wouldn\'t be able to support even 10% of that amount."
Notch listened in silence, trying to understand why Emmett had come through his words.
Emmett didn\'t stall either and got straight to the point. "So I\'d like to make you a proposition, how about I sell you 50% of Twitch for a symbolic $1, so you can continue using Twitch as the official Mojang platform without worrying about other things, besides still be able to receive the profit generated by it!"
Notch raised an eyebrow at that. Twitch was a company that was already being valued at almost $1 billion, selling 50% of that company for $1 was the same as handing over $500 million to him for nothing.
But thinking of the valuation he was causing for Twitch, if he changed companies in the future it would be a disaster for the company, so Emmett probably considered that it was better to have a single slice of a big cake, than to be holding a small cake to eat alone.
Thinking about the projects he had in mind, mainly in the areas of E-Sports, Alex was very interested in this proposal. Especially with how cheap it was to buy servers on System, it could support Twitch without a hitch, and even grow Twitch into a video platform like YouTube, but without the expense Google has on servers to keep so many videos up. .
With a smile on his face, Alex held out his hand as he answered. "With an offer that good, I would be a huge fool to turn it down. How about we meet in person at Twitch headquarters to sign this agreement?"
Hearing this, Emmett started to smile even more, quite excited for the future that Twitch would have, and mostly curious about what Notch would look like in real life!
