Chapter 286 I won’t sell you to anyone I sell to you

The Houston Rockets are a household name in China. In China, if you are a man and say you don’t know the Houston Rockets, you are really shameless.

Of course, for most Chinese people today, the Houston Rockets are still an extremely unfamiliar and distant name. But next year, on June 27, 2002, at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, Yao Ming became the first player in NBA history

When the foreign champion was drafted, Houston was destined to become the most watched NBA team in the world. Not only did it instantly become the most watched NBA team in China, it also became a household name in the United States, and it also became the NBA team with the fastest growing wealth.

Team.

In view of the popularity of the Houston Rockets for a long time to come (Yao Ming will not leave Houston), when Lin Feng chooses a local station, he will naturally choose the Houston local station.

"fsn houston" is now a purely sports local TV station. Lin Feng expects to acquire it for about US$4 million. Then Lin Feng plans to add a TV series channel to broadcast TV series invested and filmed by himself, and another sports channel to

All future Houston Rockets games will be broadcast live. After Yao Ming settles in Houston, he will reach an agreement with domestic TV stations to broadcast all Rockets games. By then, his ratings and brand value will be maximized.

This is definitely a huge benefit.

Of course, Lin Feng will not reveal this matter to Abby. If everything is accurate, it is not divination. Besides, it is better to be more mysterious.

Abby can't understand or guess why Lin Feng chose Houston. However, Houston is also the third largest city in the United States, so Lin Feng's choice is not too unreliable. Maybe this Chinese will bring some miracles.

Maybe! - Abby thought.

Later, after having dinner with Abby, Lin Feng left a check of 10 million US dollars for Abby to build a "9.11" charity fund. After deducting the 30 million US dollars in advance for Spielberg's filming of "Prison Break",

Lin Feng still has US$206 million in hand. According to Goldman Sachs' estimates, it will cost US$160-180 million to acquire 51% of 'avenue-a' company shares.

Lin Feng still has more than 40 million US dollars in cash at his disposal, which is just enough to acquire the "fsn houston" TV station and pay the remaining 30 million US dollars in arrears for Spielberg's filming of "Prison Break". As for the acquisition of Sega's hardware development department, he can only

It has been put on hold for a while. Anyway, the "anti-Lin Feng fever" is setting off in Japan, so there is no rush. The key now is to acquire 'avenue-a' - a company that helps corporate clients plan and implement Internet-based advertising campaigns.

The future will definitely be dominated by the Internet. In the future, online advertising will account for an increasing proportion of the advertising resources of major manufacturers. This company is worth acquiring.

Moreover, in 2000, 'avenue-a' company's sales were US$44.22 million and net profit was US$5.4 million. According to Abby's assessment, with the popularity of the Internet and the listing of Google, 'avenue-a''s profits

There will be dozens of times of growth. For such a profitable company, the stock price is at its lowest. How can we not acquire it now? What's more, our company also needs the strength of 'avenue-a' in online advertising planning.

Poor! Thinking that the US$750 million he earned during the "9.11" incident was spent in just over a month, Lin Feng lamented that the money was really useless. As for the previous share transfer of "Chengpiao Astronomy", Lin Feng originally made up for it.

Feng was really not optimistic about Tom's future, so he decided to sell it.

As for the Tencent shares held by Lam Feng, the future is bright. It will go all the way in the future until it breaks through the 100 yuan mark. Lin Feng will naturally not choose to sell Tencent shares. He has already made up his mind and is ready to squeeze it out without selling.

Dividends are distributed every year.

If he still lacks money, Lin Feng will prepare to take his "Qidian Fast Food Restaurant" on the backdoor market, which is expected to raise at least tens of millions of dollars for himself. If he still lacks money, 3721, which Lin Feng previously invested in, has now developed

3721 Internet Assistant, Lin Feng believes that Yahoo, which is still eyeing the mainland search engine market in the near future, will not let 3721 go. Once acquired, Lin Feng will still be able to share tens of millions of dollars.

With this amount of income, as long as he survives these two years and as the "Second World" passes the initial funding bottleneck development stage, Lin Feng will no longer be short of money. What's more, once the "Prison Break" he invested in and filmed is released, Lin Feng will

Feng believes that "Prison Break" can also bring him very generous rewards.

Now, it's just a matter of being patient for a "poor" period.

However, before he was busy with his own personal affairs (acquiring a Houston TV station), Lin Feng went to Epic, the company that developed "Unreal". Originally, Lin Feng hoped to acquire Epic and monopolize the license for the "Unreal 2" engine technology.

Although "Second World" now has five game development departments, compared with other game companies, which often have more than ten or even dozens of game development departments, "Second World"'s foundation is too weak.

, more and better talents are needed to join the company. In particular, "World War" will be a cross-era masterpiece, and more outstanding talents are needed to complete it together.

However, according to Abby’s assessment, Lin Feng would need at least US$1 billion to acquire Epic. Unlike the merger of “Second World” and “Valve” at the time, “Valve” was plagued by lawsuits, high-level changes, and depleted liquidity.

, had no choice but to merge with "Second World". Nowadays, Epic is very popular, and its "Unreal 2" engine has been sold to many companies in the game industry, such as Microsoft, Sony, EA, THQ, Ubisoft, etc., bringing them

Get a lot of income.

Faced with such a company that has no civil strife and no foreign debt, no one will sell it unless they spend a lot of money that is irresistible. After thinking about it, Lin Feng could only settle for the next best thing and choose to buy "

The right to use Unreal Engine 2 engine technology.

Mark, the president of epic company, received Lin Feng very "warmly".

"Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time. Your company's acquisition of Valve is a household name in the American gaming industry, which is admirable!" Mark said with admiration.

"Mr. Mark, you're welcome." Lin Feng said in greeting. Lin Feng knew that Gable had offended Mark before, but he didn't believe that Mark was so easy to talk to.

really!

"Mr. Lin, your 'Second World' is the most anticipated online game company now. I wonder what you are doing flying to the United States this time to come to my little epic company? I have nothing but the "Unreal 2" engine here.

Other than that, I have no other talents!" Although Mark's words were relatively modest, his tone was extremely arrogant.

Obviously, Gable had offended Mark quite a lot at the American Game Industry Summit. To this day, more than a year later, Mark is still very upset.

"Haha, Mr. Mark, you are so wise. I am here just for your "Unreal Engine 2" engine. I hope to purchase the technical rights to use the "Unreal Engine 2" engine." Lin Feng originally wanted to ask if he could acquire it.

"Unreal 2", but seeing Mark's attitude, there was no need to ask anymore, lest he humiliate himself.

"What! Mr. Lin, you want to buy my "Unreal Engine 2" engine, did I hear you right?" Mark said in an exaggerated tone.

Lin Feng frowned.

Of course, Mark didn't hear what Lin Feng said clearly, but he deliberately shouted in such an exaggerated way. I think back then, at the American Game Industry Summit, Gable was so high-spirited because of the success of "Half-Life" and "Counter-Strike" that he talked about computers.

"Valve" in the gaming industry will become a new gaming giant, and its "havok engine" will become the best 3D engine in the world. This declaration made several major game engine companies participating in the conference very angry.

However, "Half-Life" and "Counter-Strike" were popular at that time. Mark and the president of "id-software" (who developed "Quake") were forced by reality and could only hold back the bad breath in their hearts, but secretly swore

He must look good to Gable. Later, when he saw that "valve" was in decline due to lawsuits, changes in the company's top management and other problems, Mark was naturally very happy.

The bottom line is that a company founded in 1998 can be so arrogant and arrogant. This is a lesson. However, later it was learned that "valve" merged with "Second World", which was popular in the online game industry, so Mark escaped for "valve"

I was very angry after the calamity, and also secretly a little jealous.

"Mr. Mark, I really want to buy the right to use your company's "Unreal Engine 2" engine technology." Lin Feng said again while holding back his discomfort.

"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, Valve's 'havok engine' is boasted by Gable as a 3D engine that can lead the industry for 10 years. Why would they buy a 3D engine from a small company like ours?" Mark said in a very mean tone.

It makes people want to slap him. Of course, this also explains how arrogant Gable was at that time, and also better understands why Gable didn't want to come. But Lin Feng believes that money can solve many things in this world.

"Mr. Mark, in my opinion, the Unreal Engine 2 engine is the best 3D engine in the industry right now. Otherwise, why would I have traveled all the way from China to New York!" Lin Feng complimented.

But obviously, Lin Feng underestimated Mark's resentment towards Gable and overestimated the power of money.

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, my "Unreal Engine 2" engine will be sold to anyone but not your company," Mark said arrogantly.

Lin Feng frowned.

"Mark, in terms of business matters, the conflict between Gable and you will not affect the transactions between our two companies. I believe that Mr. Mark will not hate the US dollar!" Lin Feng persuaded.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, it's very simple. If you want my "Unreal 2" engine, let Gaibo come in person. If he comes, I will sell it, otherwise there will be no discussion at all!" After Mark finished speaking, he ignored Lin Feng and asked
Chapter completed!
