The day had dawned. Unlike the other days where Emmett arrived at the company's headquarters later, since he spent most of the night working and used the morning to sleep later, today was different.
The day before he had agreed with Notch to meet at Twitch headquarters to sign the purchase agreement where he would practically hand over half of the company he built to this unknown man practically for free.
But as contradictory as it may sound, to Emmett this was the best news he'd had in years.
Despite Twitch being the largest Game Streaming platform in the world, the company's annual revenue was much lower than one would imagine, since their expenses were also very high, not to mention being able to convince other companies to advertise on Twitch was always a difficult task, as the site's audience was very niche, decreasing the variety of companies they could contact.
But that all changed a few days ago, a mysterious game surfaced on Twitch, something the company's best programmers couldn't even explain how it appeared.
Even when the government ordered them to take down Minecraft livestreams in the past they couldn't, which proved that the programmers behind Mojang were extremely competent!
The sheer amount of viewers Minecraft was bringing to Twitch was so great that companies that once snubbed the site, saying they would never advertise there, asking them to stop calling, were now practically kneeling down asking to be allowed to advertise on livestreams from minecraft.
The price for every 1,000 people viewing an ad that was once just $1 had now risen to over $7, and the value was rising even further.
Even taking into account that this amount was still divided between the platform and the streamer, Emmett was more than satisfied, as Twitch's income in the last 7 days was already enough to surpass the income of the entire previous year.
Now, the company's employees were curious as they looked at the CEO sitting on the couch next to the company's front desk as he alternated his gaze between the clock and the door.
Some people went up to him to ask what was going on, but he just said that a very important person was coming and that he was there waiting for that person, which aroused the employees' curiosity even more.
Even some employees started texting friends about the gossip, while others kept a close eye on the CEO to see when he would get up and try to figure out who that important guest would be.
Some employees were speculating that the important guest was someone in the government who was having doubts about the company's revenue.
Others imagined the person to be some billionaire who wanted to invest in the company, maybe even someone like Jeff Bezos who was interested in Twitch and intended to make it a subsidiary of Amazon.
Others even thought of Tony Stark, who was livestreaming on Twitch and perhaps wanted to make Twitch part of Stark Industries, which was the most accepted theory among employees.
They didn't have to wait long, an hour later a very loud engine noise began to resound in the company headquarters.
It was normal for sports cars to pass through this area, as Twitch headquarters was in a very upscale area, and many CEOs went to work in companies with luxury cars, so a yellow Ferrari 458 came into view as they stopped in front. from the entrance to the building and parked.
What attracted the attention of the employees was not because it was a Ferrari, since although this car cost around $300,000, among the luxury cars they saw on a daily basis, this was not something that rare.
