Chapter 1745 Goodbye Sophie
I don’t know which celebrity said that a country’s demise is not due to the invasion of foreign enemies, but because of internal strife. Only internal strife can lead to the demise of a country! Foreign enemies will never cause the demise of a country!
The same is true for the country, and so is the business alliance. If you want to destroy the "gm13" alliance, it will be difficult to rely only on external suppression. After all, these companies are all well-known companies in the gaming industry. It will be difficult to drive them all away.
In particular, these 13 companies are mainly focused on the stand-alone game market, which makes it even more difficult. If Lin Feng wants to use his own strength to drive them all away, then... I don’t know how long it will take.
But leaving such an alliance watching covetously is not Lin Feng's style. If it is an enemy, it must be strangled in the cradle. If it cannot be strangled in the cradle, then destroy it when it has fully grown.
In Lin Feng's eyes, "gm13" is such an opponent that must be eliminated as soon as possible. What's more, Lin Feng's ambition is to make stand-alone games disappear in the future. The game is an interactive world that requires communication between people.
It's more fun. The reason why stand-alone games have become popular in the world in the past 20 years or so is because the hardware at that time did not support it, and it was impossible to communicate and interact between people, only the interaction between people and machines.
However, this situation has quietly changed with the rise of the Internet. Player interaction has gradually become the mainstream of games, which can be seen from the fact that more and more stand-alone games support multi-player interaction. However, if you want stand-alone games to disappear completely,
As far as Lin Feng knows, I'm afraid it won't disappear without 15 years. What Lin Feng has to do is to shorten this time extremely, shorten it, shorten it to within 3 years, so that there is no market for stand-alone games.
The rest are all online games or wifi games.
Lin Fengke is very clear that online games in the future will be divided into two categories. One is large-scale online games that must be played through a computer, such as "World War"; the other is casual games that can be played through mobile phones and handheld game consoles.
Or small games. In these two categories, players who play mobile games on mobile phones or handheld game consoles will be far better than players who play games on computers in the future, and their profits will be far better than those of large-scale online games.
This is a huge piece of fat.
Whether Lin Feng was crazy about expanding "*** fast food restaurants" (there are currently more than 10,000 in the world), or creating "Phantom Technology", and "Second Game" to research handheld consoles, all of them were to seize the mobile gaming market first.
block market.
However, judging from the current situation, in the next 4-5 years, the players of this kind of mobile games will still be far lower than the players who play large-scale online games through computers. There are many reasons for this, but the most direct one is the single-player game. Players
Subconsciously, I still believe that stand-alone games are far better than online games, and even better than mobile games. This concept is not wrong, Lin Feng also admitted frankly.
But the fundamental reason for this result is that the vast majority of game developers are currently committed to the development of the stand-alone game market. As for online games, they are also developed, but most of them are not very optimistic, even if Lin Feng's "Second World" has become a global net worth
Even the most expensive game companies have not made many game developers really pay attention to the development of online games. Of course, this is also related to the absolute strength of the "Second World".
Since the "Second World" has such a strong position in the online game industry, why do they have to squeeze into this most competitive industry? Why not concentrate on developing stand-alone games, a set of masterpieces, sell millions of copies, or even
Tens of millions of units, even at US$10 per unit, is enough to make them prosperous.
Since even large-scale online games are not supported by game manufacturers, the status of mobile games is even more conceivable. Without the support of game manufacturers, the "second world" alone cannot expand this market. This market
If we don't grow bigger, even if we let Lin Feng dominate the market, the money will be limited.
Therefore, Lin Feng simply took this opportunity to bring down "gm13". Anyway, "gm13" brings together the most famous game companies in the game industry today. Once they cross over, the entire game industry will be shocked. Of course, even these games
Just because the manufacturer has crossed over, it does not mean that global game manufacturers will choose to enter the mobile game market. But don’t forget that there are currently only three game hardware companies in the world in “gm13” – Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft.
If these three companies are completely separated, and there is no game hardware in the world, only the "dream" handheld console launched by Lin Feng's "Second Game", what do you think those game manufacturers will choose?
Of course, it is not easy to realize this ambition. Even if Lin Feng currently has indirect control of "Eddes Interactive Company", "thq", "Qianyou", "Yingpei", "rockstar" and "nc-soft"
", it is difficult to really shake the "gm13" organization. Because the core members of this alliance are "Nintendo", "Sony", "Sega", "Square Enix" and "ea" headed by Japanese companies.
". As for "Ubisoft", its own strength is too weak. Whether it can survive this difficulty is a question. It has never been taken seriously by these five game giants.
As for the "Microsoft Game Development Department", it is indeed powerful and terrifying. But for "Microsoft", I am afraid that everyone does not hate it. This giant is too powerful, and it is so powerful that people have to be on guard 24 hours a day.
Therefore, if Lin Feng wants to really leverage "gm13", he has to find a way, but the chips in front of him are not enough. And Lin Feng is targeting two companies. One of them is Ubisoft.
Although "Ubisoft" is not taken seriously by the five giants in "gm13", its games such as "Splinter Cell", "Rayman", and "Prince of Persia" are among the most popular in the market.
It has a reputation and a market. Annexing it will only bring benefits and no harm to Lin Feng.
"Mr. Gullimote, my offer is very sincere. I hope you can consider it carefully." Lin Feng said extremely seriously.
After confirming that Ubisoft was Lin Feng's first breakthrough point, Lin Feng found "Ubisoft". However, to Lin Feng's surprise, "Ubisoft", which was in financial crisis, responded to Lin Feng's $1 billion acquisition plan.
It's indifferent. No, it can no longer be said to be indifferent, but it is rejected without hesitation.
"Mr. Lin, 'Ubisoft' was created by our brothers. We will never sell it to anyone! What's more, with a mere US$1 billion offer, are you humiliating us?" Ives -
Gullimote roared.
Lin Feng was sprayed with saliva by Ivis Gulimot, but he was not annoyed. Lin Chiling, who was waiting aside, carefully wiped the saliva from Ivis Gulimot's face with a handkerchief and smiled slightly.
.
"Mr. Gullimote, I know that 'Ubisoft' is your hard work, that's why I made this offer. With all due respect, what if 'Ubisoft' can get through this difficulty? The 'gm13' alliance is dominated by the five giants.
I'm afraid 'Ubisoft' will end up being cannon fodder in the end. On the contrary, agreeing to this contract will not only make you three brothers rich, but you will still be able to manage the company. You will just change from company boss to professional manager.
I think it’s not much different for you. What’s more, under my leadership, I believe Ubisoft will be even more brilliant!” Lin Fengxiao said.
(In the West, there are many examples of company owners selling their companies and then being hired as company presidents or chief technology officers. Westerners’ desire for company ownership is different from China’s)
Ives Gullimote looked strange for a while. Lin Feng's conditions were actually very generous. After acquiring Ubisoft, Lin Feng did not manage the company and still handed over the company to the three brothers. Such a generous offer
To be honest, if "Ubisoft" hadn't been founded by the three brothers and developed step by step to this day, he would have agreed to Lin Feng's conditions without hesitation.
"Well, let's think about it!" Ivis Gullimote said after pondering for a moment.
Lin Feng shrugged, turned and left.
"Hi Sophie, are you free? How about having tea together?" Lin Feng called the French goddess Sophie Marceau.
...
"Hi, Lin, why did you come to France? By the way, you have been quite active recently. We are reporting on your news every day. On February 28th, the Oscars will be awarded. Your Lin Feng film art
Where's the festival? Is it really also on this day?" Sophie Marceau looked at Lin Feng with a smile, a look of curiosity on her face.
"Haha, of course. I just don't know if Sophie will be willing to reward him by then!" Lin Feng laughed.
"I'll definitely be there!" Sophie Marceau smiled slightly.
"By the way, how's your bet with the Japanese car dealer going? The winner will be decided in March, but I heard that the current sales of Japanese cars in China are better than your Shenlong Motors. That's less than three months away.
, are you sure of winning?" Sophie Marceau asked with concern.
"Well, the situation is indeed not good at the moment. But don't worry, everything is still under my control. But when the time comes, I may need your help! If you need help, don't shirk it!" Lin Fengxiao
explain.
"Me?" Sophie Marceau pointed to herself, looking surprised, "How can I help you?"
"Don't belittle yourself, you are a French goddess, you will definitely be able to help me!" Lin Feng chuckled.
"If this is really the case, then I will definitely help you with all my strength!" Sophie Marceau said, clenching her fists.
So cute! I didn’t expect that Sophie Marceau, who is already in her 30s and nearly 40 years old, is still so cute. Lin Feng was so cute that he lost his mind for a moment.
"Then let's pull the hook!" Lin Feng stretched out his right finger.
"Pull the hook!" Sophie Marceau giggled and stuck out her tongue, which was rare and playful.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Ives Gullimote.
"Sophie, come with me for a walk!" Lin Feng said with a roll of his eyes.
Chapter completed!
