Chapter 959 [One family alone challenges the three Internet giants]
At around 17:00 that afternoon.
Fang Hong, who was in the study, sat with his legs crossed and his back on a chair. He was answering the phone: "How's the conversation with Wang Zang going?"
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "It went quite smoothly, and they were quite happy. As soon as we told them, they nodded and agreed to sell it, but they still want more chips."
Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but smile and said: "Oh, that's good. It's easy to talk to, so it's easy for us to talk to you. It's just a matter of spending more money. It's not that the price is too much, so I readily agreed to them."
"clear!"
Blizzard games in China and Blizzard Battle.net in China are basically unavoidable. There are tens of millions of Blizzard players in China, and Battle.net in China is also in the hands of Netizen. Netizen Blizzard must be bought as a whole package.
Because the user data of tens of millions of Chinese Blizzard players is in the hands of Cyber Blizzard, they cannot migrate to a new platform without handing over the data.
In addition, the game version number is also in the hands of Blizzard. If there is a unilateral breach of contract, Blizzard's game will have to be re-launched in China, and it will have to apply for the version number again. With the ability of Star Capital, it will definitely be able to get it.
New version number.
But the problem is that it takes time. For Star Capital, Fang Hong obviously doesn't want to waste time.
Therefore, the best situation is to have a good talk with Netizen. It would be best for both parties to have an amicable "breakup". Courtesy comes first. After conducting an overall assessment of Netizen Blizzard, based on the evaluation values,
An offer will be made at a premium of 35%.
On the Internet side, I really don't agree. Losing the agent of Blizzard games is already a big loss, and I am extremely reluctant to hand over the user data of tens of millions of Blizzard players.
Ding Sanshi also knows that the most valuable thing about Blizzard is the user data resources of tens of millions of Blizzard players.
But in the end, after comprehensively weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Ding decided to give up the peace decisively. It was really out of his control and he had no control over it. He knew that Qunxing Capital was courteous first, and if it failed, there would be a backup plan later.
It's a bad relationship.
Going against such a behemoth is definitely not a wise choice.
Now Qunxing Capital has offered generous terms with a smile and sincerity. It has not used force to pressure others. Not only has it given a sufficient premium, but it has also promised that if the game wants to be released on Qunxing Capital's game box platform, it will give more
Large platform resources are tilted.
An additional distribution channel platform can also increase revenue growth expectations for Wangzhen Games, but Wangzhen also knows the pros and cons of this matter. If it is released on the Game Box platform, while the revenue there will increase significantly,
The reliance on it will also be higher, and the player user data is in the hands of the platform, and the right to speak will be greatly weakened.
But in the end, Star Capital has full good intentions.
Mr. Ding knows that this is a general trend. Stellar Capital spent 50 billion US dollars just to acquire Activision Blizzard. It is obvious that it attaches great importance to the game business sector and is a manifestation of determination.
In this case, it is better to choose to go with the flow and sell Hong Hong to save face. After all, Qunxing Capital is too powerful now and it is not a wise choice to turn against it.
…
Also on April 6, a delegation from Stellar Capital went to the United States to officially sign a $50 billion transaction contract with Activision Blizzard, and held a press conference to announce it on the same day.
At this point, Stellar Capital's acquisition of Activision Blizzard became an established fact. Frank, one of the three founders of Blizzard, also announced his resignation, and Activision Blizzard's top management began to change.
The new owner's actions were not sloppy at all, and they immediately began to substantively promote the reorganization. Before that, they also announced a collective salary increase for all Activision Blizzard employees. This incident made most of Activision Blizzard's employees have a favorable impression of the new owner.
It has risen a lot from where it was.
In fact, no matter where it is, the vast majority of employees don't care who the owner is, and Blizzard has been sold several times. This time the new owner just changed to an oriental look.
Salary increase is something that is really related to their own interests for most employees.
This wave of salary increases is also to reduce the company's turmoil in the subsequent reorganization matters. Most employees do not resist the spin-off of Activision Blizzard. Even if they resist, it is useless. The new owner has absolute control over it.
Quan, if you are unhappy, just leave your job like Frank did.
On Tuesday, April 7, the national district took the lead in reorganization, which can be said to be at the speed of light.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came out that "Game Box", a newly established game platform company under Qunxing Capital, reached a consensus with NetEase and announced that NetEase Blizzard Battle.net will be officially shut down on Friday, April 10. At that time, all Chinese server players will
Unable to go online.
At the same time, Qunxing Capital also revealed that the game box is expected to be launched in the Chinese server area around May. At the same time, the data of the Blizzard account in China will also be transferred during this period. By then, Blizzard veterans with Battle.net accounts in China will
Players do not need to register a new account on the game box. They can directly log in to their previous Battle.net account and play normally.
However, Star Capital did not announce more details about the game box, especially the key subscription payment model.
The outside world believes that the game box developed by Qunxing Capital should be a platform similar to Steam, because judging from the many information revealed so far, it seems to be developing such a game platform.
Domestic Blizzard players are also very concerned about this news. Battle.net will be suspended on Friday, April 10th, which means that for the next more than a month, Blizzard games will not be available in the Chinese server.
It is worth mentioning that the Goose Factory next door has also been hit hard, and the company's stock price has also suffered varying degrees of decline. The current market value of the Goose Factory is only HK$300 billion, and many investment institutions have also lowered the company's price again.
future expectations.
The rise of WeChat has caused the social kingdom of Goose Factory to be broken through. QQ has become increasingly declining in the mobile Internet era. On the contrary, WeChat has become the new social overlord. Now the industry is saying that the domestic social overlord is no longer Goose Factory, but Quantum Beat.
It is owned by WeChat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nowadays, Qunxing Capital is making a big move in the game industry. This is another unprecedented impact on Goose Factory. Everyone in the industry agrees that Qunxing Capital has entered the game.
It will definitely break Goose Factory’s dominance in the domestic gaming industry.
So after so many years, the stock price of Goose Factory has not performed satisfactorily.
In fact, among the original three giants of "BAT", Ali is probably the one who is living a relatively prosperous life now. Because Qunxing Capital has not made much action in the e-commerce field, it has made a strategic investment in Jingdong.
The life of another company, Baidu, is also extremely difficult. First of all, it missed the mobile Internet trend. What makes it worse is that Lingjing Search, a subsidiary of Quantitative Capital, is developing rapidly. Its current market share has soared to 34%. Baidu's position is constantly losing ground.
Defeat and retreat.
Even for Ali, who is relatively well-off, Mr. Ma’s life is not very happy. During the Chinese New Year, WeChat’s tens of billions of red envelope events made Zhifu Bao sleepless and sleepless.
People have discovered that Galaxy Group is really a mess. In the Internet world, it can be said that it is single-handedly VS the three domestic "BAT" Internet giants. The key is that the three "BAT" giants are suppressed.
This is already extremely violent.
What’s even more exaggerated is that this is just the tip of the iceberg in Star Capital’s huge business landscape, which also includes semiconductors, new energy, photovoltaics, modern agriculture, space exploration, medical services, etc…
…
People have discovered that there is another such giant, and that is the BlackRock Group in the United States, which controls more than 6 trillion US dollars in assets. It is also a non-bank financial institution and is involved in various industries and fields.
