From retail to global domination

"good."

After thinking for a moment, Oliver Norman nodded.

To be honest, this price is still not high enough, but Oliver Norman knows very well that this should really be the bottom line for Zhang Yang.

Oliver Norman doesn't like Boss Zhu very much.

If there was no other way, he still didn't want to hand over World of Warcraft to this guy.

As for Zhang Yang, Oliver Norman is still very optimistic about it.

Although this kid is young, his love for games must be much stronger than Boss Zhu.

Young people all like to play games.

Only if you love it will you cherish it.

Once World of Warcraft is in Zhang Yang's hands, he must want to promote it and not just make money.

These are Oliver Norman's thoughts.

In fact, he guessed wrong.

Whether it was the previous life or this life, Zhang Yang's love for games was limited.

He doesn't know how to play World of Warcraft at all, and he doesn't know how to play the popular games of later generations. What kind of king, chicken game.

He can only play legend.

So my love for games is really limited.

But it doesn’t matter, Zhang Yang knows that games can make money.

The investment is small, the return is large, and the risk is small. How could Zhang Yang let it go?

Especially World of Warcraft, he has to represent everything in this game.

Once it becomes the agent of World of Warcraft, the number one player in the domestic gaming industry will be Huifeng Games.

Taking this opportunity, he will launch other games one after another, such as League of Legends.

Once League of Legends is launched, it is conceivable that Huifeng Games will reach its peak and no one can surpass it.

The status of penguins in the previous life may be replaced by Hui Feng.

The reason why Penguin has achieved success in later generations is entirely due to games.

Especially League of Legends.

Through the League of Legends, the King of Glory was hatched.

Once these games are gone, Penguin may not be as brilliant as it will be in later generations, because they don't have as much money to acquire other companies.

There are also underground cities.

At present, the dungeon game company has been acquired by Zhang Yang, and there is no need to share it with others, and the profit is even more than Penguin.

After winning World of Warcraft, Zhang Yang thought more.

He will never give up on the gaming industry.

Even if he gives up, someone will follow up.

This is something that cannot be stopped.

After both parties reach an agreement, the next step is to sign the contract.

150 million in cash was sent to Blizzard in one go. This is the premise.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty Everlasting City can borrow 1 billion, otherwise it really would not be able to come up with so much funds.

After this time, Zhang Yang became a pauper again!

I originally wanted to buy some stocks of Maotai and Penguin, but I might as well forget it now.

If you don’t have any money, buy some yarn.

Moreover, it doesn't make any sense whether to buy the stocks or not. There are not many stocks circulating in the market, which is why Zhang Yang did not buy these two stocks even if he had the funds.

After the funds arrived, Oliver Norman looked at Zhang Yang with admiration again.

Being able to take out so much cash at once, and being so young, his achievements in the future will definitely be great.

Even though World of Warcraft is very profitable now, it would be difficult for Blizzard to spend 150 million US dollars at a time.

He only had a rough understanding of Zhang Yang before and knew that this kid was quite influential in China, otherwise he wouldn't have let him represent World of Warcraft.

She even knew about his relationship with Du Niang.

In China, Du Niang has been suppressing Google, and he still knows this.

Once this guy becomes the agent for World of Warcraft, he will definitely place ads on Du Niang, and his performance will be even better than Ninetowns.

Oliver Norman isn't stupid either. If Zhang Yang didn't have this background, how could he let this guy act as his agent?

Zhang Yang didn't know this, otherwise he would have regretted giving too much just now.

In fact, we really don’t need 150 million U.S. dollars, we can get it for about 120 million U.S. dollars.

Who made this kid pay out so much all at once? Oliver Norman couldn't just watch the money he got and return it to others, right?

He's not that stupid.

"Mr. Zhang, actually we have more than one chance to cooperate." Oliver Norman said with a smile on his face as he looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang, who was planning to leave, looked at Oliver Norman with some surprise.

Zhang Yang had already guessed what Oliver Norman meant.

This is for the purpose of long-term cooperation.

Next, Blizzard will develop several games. Although they are not as popular as World of Warcraft, they are still very profitable.

Since this old guy wants to cooperate, Zhang Yang will naturally not refuse.

"Mr. Oliver Norman, if Blizzard develops a new game again, of course we hope to cooperate with you.

Products produced by Blizzard must be high-quality." Zhang Yang smiled.

"Okay, I believe it won't be long before we can cooperate again." Oliver Norman stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Yang's hand.

Win-win.

Cooperating with Zhang Yang is a win-win situation.

"Mr. Oliver Norman, if you have the opportunity to go to China, please say hello.

We in China are very warm to our friends."

"Haha~~

If I have the chance, I must go to the mysterious China to have a look." Oliver Norman agreed immediately.

He has never been to China.

As for whether I will go there in the future, it’s hard to say.

The problem is where does he have time?

He is the boss of Blizzard and a developer.

Especially the latter, which makes him rarely leave.

Let alone going to China, he has not left Silicon Valley for nearly five years.

“Welcome.”

After bidding farewell to Oliver Norman, Zhang Yang got in the car and left.

He was very excited inside.

Yes, very excited.

Can you not be excited? He represents World of Warcraft.

This is World of Warcraft.

He is excited, but Zhang Yang is very calm on the surface.

"Boss, is this game really going to be popular?" Zhang Qian asked curiously.

In fact, what she wants to ask is whether it can make money. The investment is quite large, 150 million U.S. dollars and 1.2 billion yuan.

If you can't make money back, you will suffer a huge loss.

"Don't worry, when have you ever looked at me wrong?

In a few years, you will know, boss, what a wise decision I made." Zhang Yang said with overwhelming confidence.

If this was a loss, he would have no shame in living.

What is the difference between World of Warcraft operating at a loss and waste?

And he also relies on Du Niang.

With Du Niang's promotion, Warcraft will definitely be even more popular than in the previous life.

He doesn't plan to promote it on the Internet, he also wants to promote it on TV. It's nothing more than a spark of advertising money.

150 million U.S. dollars have been spent, and there is still so little advertising money left?

Seeing that Zhang Yang was so confident, Zhang Qian didn't say anything.

Also, when has the boss ever made a mistake?

Which of the industries he is optimistic about is not very popular?

The car returned to the hotel.

Now that he has signed a contract with Blizzard, Zhang Yang is not in a hurry to go online.

No matter what, you have to promote it first and then go online.

It takes about half a year to promote it.

The five-year agreement only counts from the launch of the game, not the promotional period, so Zhang Yang is not in a hurry.

The promotion period of half a year is really not that long.

Zhang Yang remembered that the Tower of Eternity had been promoted for more than two years, but Zhang Yang could not wait that long.

The cost of publicity is too high, and he has confidence in World of Warcraft.

Even if there is no need for publicity, World of Warcraft will become popular once it is launched.

It's just that time is slower.

Games can bring huge funds to Zhang Yang in the short term, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to acquire other industries.

Huifeng Supermarket can bring huge benefits to Zhang Yang, but Huifeng Supermarket has been expanding. These funds cannot be used. It would be good if they can maintain the expansion. Once they are used, Huifeng Supermarket will stagnate. If this is the case, the consequences will be

The consequences are dire.

Zhang Yang knows very well that the development of Huifeng Supermarket cannot be stopped and must even be accelerated.

Once you stop, it's not that easy to catch up.

In fact, Huifeng's development has lagged far behind now.

Although Huifeng Supermarket is developing very fast, even compared to other retail industries, Huifeng has a fatal weakness, which is the lack of talents.

That's right, there is a lack of talent, a serious lack.

To put it bluntly, it’s just that the foundation is not good enough.

It takes time to cultivate talents yourself, and the loyalty of recruiting people is not high.

Now that Huifeng is developing at a rapid pace, this point has been ignored for the time being. However, once Huifeng Supermarket becomes a behemoth, various disadvantages will appear.

Not to mention other things, such as the general manager battle.

Once Zhao Liang fails to get this position, he will definitely leave. No one can stop him, not even Zhang Yang.

This is also a major drawback.

Who knows who this guy will take with him after he leaves.

In Huifeng, this guy has quite a few direct descendants.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Is it possible to prevent Zhao Liang from developing a direct lineage?

If that were the case, this guy might leave now.

Zhang Yang will not let him go now, Huifeng still needs this guy to expand his territory.

Moreover, he grew up in Huifeng. If he leaves at this time, he will definitely become their enemy. This is not what Zhang Yang wants to see.

When the expansion is over, it won't matter if he can't leave.

By then Huifeng will almost occupy the whole country. Even if he leaves, how big of a storm will he cause?

Therefore, Huifeng Supermarket can indeed bring him huge benefits, but it cannot be touched.

The same is true for Huifeng Real Estate in a short period of time.

Huifeng Real Estate is also very profitable. Currently, Huifeng has opened four projects, but the investment is not small.

In the short term, Huifeng Real Estate’s funds cannot be moved.

Huifeng Technology can do that.

Although Huifeng Technology is also engaged in research and development, the investment is not as large as that of mobile phones.

Huifeng mobile phone is no longer working.

Although he may make a fortune, Zhang Yang plans to invest all the income in research and development of technology.

He didn't want to be choked by others.

Moreover, he still has a fund left aside to acquire it in 2008.

Semiconductors, photolithography machines.

No matter how high the price is, we must acquire these companies.

2008 is an opportunity. If you miss it, you may not have the chance to acquire it.

If you want to break the technological blockade of Western countries, you can only take advantage of the chaos.

When the time comes, Western countries will have no time to take care of him, which also gives him an opportunity.

Huifeng Mobile, Huifeng Technology, and Huifeng Games don’t know how much money they can bring him.

He has many companies to acquire, and he hopes that the funds will be available by then.

If it's not enough, you can only get a loan.

That's right, a loan.

It is estimated that the bank will support him when the time comes.

This is an acquisition of a high-tech company. If the higher-ups knew about it, how could they not support him?

This can be regarded as the confidence to show off...
