My Fintech Empire

Chapter 961 [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 going with Wang Zang?"

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 them. It's just a matter of spending more money. It's not that the asking price is too much, so just agree to them readily."

"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 package.

Because the user data of tens of millions of Chinese Blizzard players is in the hands of Cyber ​​Blizzard, they cannot move 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 making an overall assessment of Netizen Blizzard, based on the evaluation values, Quotation will be given at a premium of 35%.

On the Internet side, I really don't agree. Losing the agent of Blizzard games is already a serious injury, 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 Cyber ​​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 value peace and decisively gave up. He really had no control over the situation and had no control over others. He knew that Qunxing Capital wanted to be courteous first, and if it didn't work, there would be back-up tactics, and there would definitely be enemies later.

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 power to pressure others. Not only has it given a sufficient premium, but it has also promised that if Wangzhang Games 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 is full of goodwill.

Mr. Ding knows that this is a general trend. Stellar Capital did not hesitate to spend 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 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 deal 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 has become 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 restructuring. 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.

In fact, no matter where it is, the vast majority of employees don't care who the owner is, and Blizzard has sold it several times. This time the new owner just changed to an Eastern 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. Right, just leave your job unhappy like Frank did.

By Tuesday, April 7, the national side was the first to reorganize, at the speed of light.

News came out in the afternoon that the newly established game platform company "Game Box" 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 disclosed that the game box is expected to be launched in the Chinese server area around May. At the same time, the data of the CyberXin Blizzard account will also be transferred during this time period. By then, domestic Blizzard players with Battle.net accounts will 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 any 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 that it is developing such a game platform.

Domestic Blizzard players are also very concerned about this news. Battle.net will be suspended on Friday, April 10, 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 led to the breakthrough of Goose Factory's social kingdom. 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’s owned by WeChat.

Nowadays, Stars Capital is making a big move in the gaming industry, which is another unprecedented impact for Goose Factory. Industry insiders all agree that the entry of Stars Capital will 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 currently living a relatively comfortable life. 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 trend of mobile Internet. 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.

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 too fierce.

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.
