Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A young tycoon, Chinese Billionaire Lin Qi was poisoned and died on Christmas day, BBC reports. Qi was the chairman of Yoozoo which developed the famous game, Game of Thrones: Winter Is Coming strategy game.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, a man identified by Shanghai Police as one of Mr. Lin\u2019s colleagues identified only by his surname Xu is the main suspect.<\/p>\n

The BBC also claims Mr. Lin was believed to have a net worth of around 6.8bn yuan (US$1,3bn) according to the Hurun China Rich List.<\/p>\n

The Company reportedly released a statement mourning the death of their own on the country\u2019s microblogging site Weibo that said:<\/p>\n

Goodbye youth. We will be together, continue to be kind, continue to believe in goodness, and continue the fight against all that is bad.<\/p>\n

Local media reports are reportedly alleging that the person in custody for the alleged crime could be Xu Yao, who heads Yoozoo\u2019s movie production arm. Speculation is also rife that Qi might have been poisoned through aged pu\u2019er tea, a fermented Chinese drink.<\/p>\n

Yoozoo according to the publication was a leading game developer in China:<\/p>\n

Apart from its Game of Thrones game, Yoozoo is also the co-publisher of Supercell\u2019s smash-hit game Brawl Stars along with China\u2019s Tencent Holdings.<\/p>\n

The company is also known for its connection with the Chinese sci-fi novel Three-Body Problem as it holds the rights for its film adaptation.<\/p>\n
