Chapter 804: A Force Is Preventing Protoss Group from Acquiring
Chapter 804 A force is preventing the Protoss Group from acquiring
Three days passed slowly, and Activision Blizzard CEO Dudley got the news that people from Ernst & Young were acquiring shares of Activision Blizzard.
Someone is trying to impress Activision Blizzard.
Dudley immediately took action and started talking to the big directors to persuade them not to sell their shares.
At the same time, people began to investigate to see which company was behind the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Ruanruan Company, CEO Bosili is sitting in the office, thinking about whether he should take advantage of the current opportunity to acquire Activision Blizzard.
Many years ago, Softsoft Corporation was interested in Activision Blizzard, and it did not hesitate to spend more than 80 billion U.S. dollars on a cash acquisition.
Unfortunately, the board of directors of Activision Blizzard, which was tricked by CEO Dudley at the time, rejected the acquisition.
Now, Bosili knows who is behind the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and what kind of behemoth the Protoss Group is.
If he rashly intervenes, Gao Jin will definitely not agree.
As soon as the Venus Housekeeping Group's lobbying activities began, it became clear that Protoss Group was behind the scenes to promote the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and all high-ranking bosses knew about it.
He deliberately intervened, but he was a bit wary of Gao Jin's gangster methods.
I'm having a hard time, so you have to have a harder time than me. This is Gao Jin's mantra.
Moreover, Gao Jin said so and did so.
This style makes many people afraid.
After thinking for a while, Bosili raised his head and said to the air, "Xiao Ruan, let my assistant Diman come over."
"Okay boss" the electronic voice said and then fell silent.
Ruanruan's corporate headquarters has also launched artificial intelligence project applications. So far, everything is very satisfactory.
If you have something to say to the air, the artificial intelligence will start to handle it.
Not long after, Bursley's assistant Diman came in and "issued a notice to convene an emergency board of directors in two days."
After saying that, Bosili waved his hand, and Diman turned and left to carry out Bosili's order.
Time passed day by day, and two days passed in a blink of an eye. The board of directors of Softsoft Corporation was held, and Bosili proposed at the meeting to intervene in the Protoss Group's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
When the directors, big and small, heard this, they all frowned. They didn't expect that this would be the meeting of the board of directors this time.
"Bosili, are you really ready to go head-to-head with the Protoss Group?" Chief Director Udo Boggs said this with a frown.
"There is no head-to-head confrontation. We all make acquisitions based on our abilities. An acquisition case will never lead to a fight," Bosili said with a smile.
Many directors shook their heads after hearing this and did not recognize what Kebosi said.
"Bosili, if I knew you were convening the board of directors to discuss this matter, I would directly vote against it and not come," the chief director, Reinberg, said this unceremoniously.
Taking food from the Protoss Group is, firstly, against the unspoken rules among international giants, and secondly, the Protoss Group will definitely not give up.
Do you really think that the Protoss Spirit Group is made up of clay? If the Protoss Spirit Group was made up of clay, it would have been divided up and eaten up long ago. How could the Protoss Spirit Group become the behemoth it is now?
Back then, when Softsoft launched the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, no international giants got involved.
This is an unspoken rule to prevent the two companies from forming a deadly feud!
If Ruanruan Company intervenes at this moment, Xingling Group will have to go to war with Ruanruan Company for the sake of face. At that time, there will be no winner.
It's totally a waste of money.
I really don’t know that Bosili’s nerves are not strong enough to interfere in this matter.
"Burns, let me remind you one thing. Our Ruanruan Company currently has a good relationship with the Xingling Group. Don't destroy this relationship."
"Don't forget, there are two major bugs in our new generation system that were reminded by the Protoss Group."
"Although we spent money, the price is a friendly price!"
"Can you guarantee that they don't have other bugs in their hands?"
"If the two of us turn against each other and the Protoss Group trades the bugs it has on the black market, do you know how much loss this will bring to us?"
The chief director, Ena Hughes, looked at Bursley with a very unhappy face as she said these words. Many directors nodded and approved of what Hughes said.
Ruanruan has developed for so many years and basically does not have any grudges with technology companies of the same level, because Ruanruan's senior management knows that there is no perfect process.
Once the other party finds a vulnerability in the software, an attack will cause very heavy losses.
Regardless of the fact that Ruanruan Company is now in a monopoly position in the industry, it can withstand one impact, two or three times.
If the number of times increases, a lot of operating systems will be born around the world. At that time, the foundation of Rusoft Company will be shaken.
The impact of technological upgrading on technology companies is fatal.
This is something that all technology companies cannot avoid.
Bosili frowned, not expecting that the board of directors was so afraid of the Protoss Group.
But watching the Protoss Group annex Activision Blizzard, Bosili was very unwilling. The electronic entertainment industry market is growing every year, which is a trillion-dollar market.
It is really a pity to give up like this.
"Let's take a vote. This matter cannot be delayed."
"Raise your hands in favor of not intervening in Protoss Group's acquisition of Activision Blizzard!" Chief Director Wojvind Otto spoke, already feeling Bosili's reluctance.
Without a board vote, Bursley could use other means to intervene in Protoss Group's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
If the board of directors makes a decision, Bosili must not interfere in this matter under any circumstances. If he does, he will have to pay for the subsequent losses of the company.
The others also saw through Otto's meaning, nodded slightly and raised their right hands. Soon, they raised their hands one by one.
Time passed slowly, and Bosi Li's face became gloomy.
Collective opposition!
This is the first time since I became the CEO of Ruanruan that I have encountered something unanimously opposed by all the directors. This is a heavy blow to my prestige.
"Bosili, you saw the result"
"Don't get involved in this matter. This is good for you and us. The Protoss Group has grown to this point. If it were a sheep, it would have been eaten by a pack of wolves."
"Besides, we have already launched research and development on nine space projects, which consumes a lot of funds. It is not easy to create extraneous problems for the time being!"
Otto looked at Bosili and said these words with profound meaning, "Don't cause trouble. Even if we intervene in this matter now, we will not have extra funds to complete this acquisition."
Each of the nine space projects requires billions of dollars of investment. Once there is a problem with the company's main business, it will affect the company's grand strategy.
He usually had a good relationship with Bosili, but Otto was very worried that Bosri would make wrong decisions. Once the company suffered losses, Bosri would be the CEO for the rest of his life.
The board of directors definitely doesn't want to be at odds with Protoss Group at this moment.
"I understand. I give up this idea and will not interfere with the Protoss Group's acquisition of Activision Blizzard." Bosili understood what Otto's eyes conveyed.
After considering the situation, he made a wise decision.
After talking about the serious business and chatting for a while, the board meeting was over.
In fact, it’s not just Ruanruan. There is also a behemoth international giant that is interested, Sony.
After so many years of transformation and development, Sony has successfully transformed into a high-tech company disguised as electronic entertainment.
In the eyes of the outside world, Sony was lonely and focused entirely on the entertainment industry.
In fact, Sony's high-tech business has not slowed down at all, but has become more secretive. Like many German companies, it has become a hidden international giant.
Sony has both satellite operations and rocket launches, which shows Sony's strength.
Nowadays, international giants are entering into space, and Sony’s strength is definitely among the top.
Two days passed slowly. That night, Haider Hill had a phone call with Gao Jin and conveyed Elinda's words, "A force is preventing the acquisition of the Protoss Group."
"Can you find out which force it is?" Gao Jin asked calmly.
I am mentally prepared for this matter. Once the Protoss Group acquires Activision Blizzard and integrates it with the Starlight Game Company, the future leader of the electronic entertainment industry will be the Protoss Group.
This is equivalent to making a subsidiary of Xingling Group a leading company in an industry in the world.
Controlling the development of the Protoss Group is the innermost thoughts of many people. These people all believe that the Protoss Group is already big enough at this moment.
If the Xingling Group continues to develop at a high speed, it will become even more difficult to restrain it.
"From what Elinda said, it seems to be related to Parker." Heidehill said, I won't go into details here, knowing that the relationship between Gao Jin and Parker is very subtle.
After listening to this, Gao Jin thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hyde Hill, how are you getting along with Alinda? Yesterday Phil, the chairman of Venus Housekeeping Group, called me to ask about this matter."
"He found that Elinda's temper has improved a lot recently."
Gao Jin started teasing Hyde Hill with a smile on his face. It was not easy for Gao Jin to be able to tease this barrister.
After hearing Gao Jin's words, Heideshier also had a smile on his face, "Boss, we have officially dated. Let's date for a while and see if we are both satisfied with each other, then we will take the next step."
"I have a son and she also has a daughter. If we feel it is appropriate, we must discuss it with the children."
"Only if the children don't object can we continue going forward."
"I believe they will not object"
"You should stay in the United States for the time being and let Alinda increase their efforts. I will talk to Parker on the phone." Gao Jin calmly stated his arrangement.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, he walked in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside. What he was thinking about was Parker, and he couldn't figure out why Parker kept intervening.
The previous grievances have been settled, but now they are at odds with each other. Could it be said?
