At this time, Blizzard's major shareholder is not the French Vivendi Group. It has been established for more than four years and was acquired by an American distribution company called Davidson & Associates two years ago, thus opening up its business in North America.
Game distribution channels.
Just in the past year of 1995, the U.S. game market was in a slump, but Blizzard's "Warcraft" sold 500,000 units in 4 months. Now it is a time of success. They are planning to acquire Condor to gain access to
The company has a group of software development elites and plans to develop a game called "Diablo".
Blizzard's development momentum is good, and it has a parent company with abundant funds and smooth channels. They are preparing to acquire others, but they never expected that someone would come to acquire them.
At the beginning, both the parent company Davidson & Associates and the three founders of Blizzard rejected Sega and Paramount's investment requests.
But they soon relented because they could not refuse the other party's conditions.
Sega Games and Paramount Pictures not only offered premium share acquisition contracts, but also brought additional benefits.
The first is Sega. Because of Kang Jianfei's investment and support, it has developed "The King of Fighters" and a new generation of game consoles in advance. Now it has grown into a game company that is on par with Nintendo. Once Sega takes a stake in Blizzard, many of Blizzard's games will be available.
Sega's console platform can also open up the Asian market, which greatly enhances Blizzard's development potential.
Next is Paramount. As one of the major Hollywood giants, its film library is terrifyingly abundant. Many of its films are suitable for adaptation into games. And Blizzard’s best-selling games can also be adapted into movies. This cooperation is a win-win situation. Especially for Paramount.
Ramon also brought the rights to "Resident Evil" this time.
After many discussions, the acquisition intention was finally reached. Sega Games owns 1% of the shares of Blizzard Entertainment, Paramount Pictures owns 1% of the shares, Davidson & Associates owns 8% of the shares, and the three founders of Blizzard
Together they account for 19% of the shares.
Of course, there is an additional agreement, that is, the major shareholders are not allowed to interfere with the company's game development. This issue must be decided by Blizzard's three founders.
Over at Taiwan's Daewoo Company, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" received positive reviews as soon as it was released. The reason why Kang Jianfei did not leave "Resident Evil" to Daewoo was because their capabilities were insufficient. Even Blizzard Entertainment has to rely on
Acquiring Condor Company to obtain a group of software elites and develop a new generation of game engines can make "Resident Evil" a success.
As for Oriental Technology Company, the second round of financing has entered a substantial stage. Due to the terrifying development momentum of the website, many consortiums in the United States want to participate. If this momentum continues, it is estimated that the opening price of the company after listing will be very high.
.
Nowadays, Hong Kong films are dying, and DreamWorks' profits are decreasing year by year, but Kang Jianfei's other investments continue to bear fruit.
The crappy real estate project in Beijing’s Rose Garden is now gradually coming back to life, with about one-fifth of the first-phase villas sold. This may not be a tight deal in the eyes of peers, but with the development of the main urban area of Beijing, Changping will become more and more popular.
It has become more and more popular. And when the government decides to build a university town here six or seven years later, the houses in the Rose Garden will rise like a rocket.
Not to mention this long-term goal, Kang Jianfei, Zheng Jiachun, and Ye Laosan have now made a lot of money from their real estate projects in Yaodu. Kang Jianfei alone has made more than 1 billion RMB in the past two or three years.
The Zheng family, the main investors, earned more.
There are also Oriental Department Stores all over the country, which have now become the number one department store chain in mainland China. Hu Juncai is taking care of this aspect, and Kang Jianfei basically has no control except for the initial investment and accidents.
In view of this, Kang Jianfei deliberately gave up some shares in his name as dry shares to some middle and senior managers of Oriental Department Store Group, and then gave some to Hu Juncai. This move has two benefits. First, it eases the relationship between him and Hu Juncai.
Juncai's conflict of interests will prevent Hu Juncai from being dissatisfied; the second is to win over the group's middle and high-level backbones, and at the same time increase the cohesion and sense of belonging of the group's employees.
The development of Taikang Tourism Group is also terrifying. In recent years, domestic and foreign tourists have surged, and the travel agency business has exploded. There is also a tourism development company affiliated to Taikang Group, which has successfully developed Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, Danxia Mountain, Mirror Island, and Zhouzhuang.
, Lijiang and many other domestic and foreign attractions, it has become a veritable industry leader. Nowadays, many local governments who want to develop tourism have paid large sums of money to hire companies to help plan and develop.
The first phase of the Hengdian Film and Television City has also been completed. With the central government banning filming in the Forbidden City, Hengdian has become the preferred filming location for historical dramas of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Of course, due to the huge initial investment, Hengdian Film and Television City will not be able to film in the next few years.
They will all be in a state of net loss. But as long as it lasts until ten years, it will become a place where money is being made every day.
The development of BBK is particularly gratifying. The VCD Terminator DVD technology has been developed. Some time ago, BBK spent a huge amount of money to become the first CCTV bid king. When the advertisement is officially launched, BBK DVD will soon be sold out.
On the contrary, the sales of BBK mobile phones are tepid, because for most Chinese people, pagers are still a luxury product. Those with a little money also prefer Big Brother, because this thing is big and difficult to take out.
Pull the wind.
Regarding this, both Ericsson and BBK are happy and worried. They are happy that the number of mobile phone users is increasing month by month, but they are worried that the growth rate is not too fast.
The funniest thing is that many of the country’s big bosses are keen on buying BBK Gold and Supreme Diamond Editions. So much so that the sales of these two limited high-end editions are not much lower than the regular versions of mobile phones, so they have to expand their high-end range.
Edition output.
This was far beyond Kang Jianfei's expectation, but it's also normal when you think about it. The rich gold or diamond-encrusted version increases the reputation, and rich people don't care about spending the extra money, but many users who can only afford the ordinary version of the phone can
I would choose to buy a mobile phone, so this weird situation happened.
Nowadays, the rich gold and diamond-encrusted mobile phones have been sold out, but the regular version has a large backlog of inventory, making both Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai dumbfounded.
Kang Jianfei has investments in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, India, and the United States. Even he himself doesn’t know how much net worth he has now, which really troubles the statisticians at Forbes.
.
"Brother Fei, why don't you go with me to the dinner tonight?" After the Marseille, Li Jiaxin grabbed Kang Jianfei's hand and acted coquettishly.
"I won't go. You can play by yourself, and remember to drink less." Kang Jianfei patted her shoulder and said. He was the richest man in Hong Kong, and he didn't receive any dinner invitations. He would lose a lot of money by running by himself.
"Okay then." Li Jiaxin pouted and sulked. Since the popularity of "Resident Evil", this girl has become a bit swollen. She is tired of being next to Kang Jianfei every day, occupying men, and in front of Guan Zhilin and other women,
Li Jiaxin also has a arrogant attitude.
After Li Jiaxin left, Kang Jianfei said to Weng Hong: "Call Yinong..." (To be continued)
