{Time: August 29, 2003}

{Location: United States-California}

I have known Ning Zimo for more than 2 years, and Sachs has always admired this young man who entered Beibao at the age of 17.

In him, Sachs can see a lot of sunshine, upward and positive aspects.

But like today, with a certain evil nature and bad taste,

This was the first time I saw Saxophone.

But Sachs just felt that the way he looked today was what a man of his age should look like.

Because he used to be too calm, not like a young man who had not experienced the world at all, but more like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes of life.

Today, he is a little more popular because of this. Although this feeling is a bit abrupt compared to before, Sachs feels that he can get closer to him.

"I said, man~~You have completely opened your heart to us until today."

Seeing Sachs smiling brightly, he even raised his eyebrows at himself.

Ning Zimo spread his hands and shrugged, "Who doesn't have a dark side in their heart? It's just that everyone's digestion methods are different."

Ning Zimo was also very happy, because many things were pressing on him these days and became pressure. But such a frank conversation allowed him to gain more recognition from his partners.

This recognition of shortcomings makes the atmosphere at this time more harmonious.

Although working with them has been good in the past, it has never been like this.

Ning Zimo realized that his previous way of doing things was too mechanical.

But today, after the pressure was released, a piece of my own bad taste actually sublimated the friendship.

Is this considered to be something lost and gained in the east?

Ning Zimo couldn't figure it out, but Ning Zimo knew it.

He was probably responding to Mr. Ji Xianlin's words:

Imperfection is life!

Realized,

Got it too!

Thinking of this, the invisible burden Ning Zimo had been carrying due to pressure these days suddenly disappeared.

Taking advantage of this moment, he simply asked: "You should know Vivendi, right?"

"Vivendi?" Elon thought for a moment and suddenly asked with his lips raised, "Is it that French water pipe company that likes mergers and acquisitions?"

"Pfft" Ning Zimo almost burst out laughing when she heard Elon's words.

But Elon is right, Vivendi is really a water pipe company.

However, although I know that Elon is joking, the most fearful thing in the world is that someone who was originally serious suddenly talks nonsense in a serious manner.

"Okay, man. Vivendi is indeed the...plumbing company I'm talking about."

"OK, you continue."

Ning Zimo smiled and continued, "Then do you know Glass Slag Entertainment? It's the company that produced "Warcraft 3"..."

"I know, I've also played it, it's a good competitive game."

Elon's "well-informed" attitude surprised Ning Zimo.

This is Elon Musk, the Iron Man of Silicon Valley. This "other people's kid" actually plays games. He actually knows about glass slag?

It's like, yesterday you scored 59 points in the exam, and you said with a happy face, "You still have 1 point left to pass."

But suddenly you see the top student coming over with a sad face. You ask him "What's wrong?" and he says, "I missed three solutions to the last math problem yesterday."

Then you finally turned the topic to games. You said you could play on three ordinary computers. He praised you and taught you, "Actually, your arrangement can be improved even more... like this... like this...

...In this way, you can challenge 7 crazy computers."

emmmmmmm, Xueba is really a terrible product.

Seeing Ning Zimo's surprised look, Elon smiled and said, "Actually, you..."

"Stop it, listen to me!"

"OK"

"Since 1980, Vivendi has diversified into waste management, energy, transport, construction and industry. The company purchased Pagnie Genénérale d'entreprises automobiles, an industrial car manufacturer.

Later, Vivendi purchased two energy companies, Pagnie Généralechauffe and Montenay.

In 1983, Vivendi helped establish Canal+, France's first pay TV station. Then from the 1990s, especially on June 27, 1996, the new CEO Jean-Marie Messier (Jean-Marie Messier)

After taking office, the company began to enter the telecommunications and media industries.

In 1996, the company established the cegetel subsidiary to meet the French government's policy of deregulating telecommunications in 1998.

In 1998, Vivendi changed its name to "vivendi" and bought the industry and construction departments. Later, Vivendi acquired Morocco Telecom, Havas News Agency, cendant and a large pay television company in continental Europe.

Since 1998, Vivendi has broadcast digital channels in Italy, Spain, Poland, Scandinavia, Belgium and the Netherlands."

"At that time" Ning Zimo went around in a big circle and finally got to the point:

"Vivendi established Vivendi Games through mergers and acquisitions. This company inherited the merger and acquisition genes of Vivendi Corporation. Starting from 1996, Vivendi Games embarked on its own acquisition, reorganization, and sale process.

On the road to making money, Xueleshan and Glass Slag, which have considerable background in the gaming industry, were acquired by it respectively starting from this year."

"but"

A group of partners were listening when they suddenly saw the expression on Ning Zimo's face change and his tone increase:

"Whether it is the parent company Vivendi or Vivendi Games, all mergers and acquisitions are just ways of making money that it has been very good at. Soon after Xueleshan was acquired, most of its employees and their founders left due to business integration.

person-ken.

Even the "Darkness" series development team "Northern Glass Slag" owned by Glass Slag also left because of the obstruction of Vivendi Games. As a result, the classic game "Darkness" series was also discontinued.

Last year, Vivendi's transition to debt-based development resulted in high financial risks, resulting in a net loss of 23.3 billion euros. Their CEO Messier also resigned due to this, and the company faced disintegration. In July of the same year, the new CEO

- Let Renofo come to power and announce the restructuring of Vivendi Universal."

"so?"

Elon listened to a long list of Ning Zimo's messages and was a little surprised that he knew so much about Vivendi. What he was more concerned about was what kind of plans did this young man have?

But Chen Shijun, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and his eyes were already shining.

"Vivendi is still planning to sell off his entire gaming department and is preparing to obtain US$2 billion to alleviate Vivendi Universal's losses, but even if their affordable low price is reduced to 800 million, no one is willing to take over...

"

Elon frowned when he heard this. Judging from Ning Zimo's dedication to this project, Elon could already guess the bold idea in Ning Zimo's heart.

"Do you want to acquire Vivendi's gaming department?"

Ning Zimo nodded heavily, "I have a reason to acquire it, because only by acquiring Vivendi's game department can wegame become faster. And whether it is glass slag or northern glass slag, only I can truly

Let them have their true value.”

Ning Zimo took a deep breath and said fiercely, "Only by acquiring Vivendi's game department will Glass Slag, a film company that specializes in game development, not become a tool for others to make money.

I want to make glass slag a sharp weapon in my hands and let it be used by wegame. In this way, I can integrate better resources and more quickly push the game industry and e-sports industry to people's minds more completely according to my ecosystem model.

before!"

hiss……

Elon heard the sound of breathing around him, but he had no time to pay attention because his own scalp was numb.

Although he has set a plan for himself to retire on Mars and has invested a lot of energy in his company SpaceX. Although he believes that this result can be realized, he also knows how crazy this result will be if it is realized.

But for this young man, Ning Zimo's plan, no matter what the outcome, this arrogant idea is no less than his own long-term plan for SpaceX.

Elon tried to calm himself down, but for some reason, the faint hint of fanaticism on Ning Zimo's face made him unable to calm down.

"What do you want to do?"

What Elon didn't expect was that Chen Shijun stood up faster than him and asked excitedly.

"From now until April next year, it will be the best time to finally acquire the gaming part of Vivendi. If you miss it, you will never have such a good opportunity again in the future!"

"Why?"

Ning Zimo chuckled and leaned on the sofa without explaining anything to Chen Shijun.

This is something only he knows, because as of April 2004, "World of Warcraft" is about to enter the inner stage.

With the ability of glass slag to attract money, Vivendi Universal will decide what to do based on the results. At that time, as long as Vivendi Universal waits a few more months, the overlord of the gaming industry "World of Warcraft" will start its glorious 10-year journey.

Year.

This is the best time to purchase glass slag that Ning Zimo has concluded from countless detailed studies of glass slag in his previous life. Although the chance is slim, letting the glass slag flourish in his own hands is an ideal opportunity for anyone who believes in "glass slag".

It’s the most luxurious dream of those who think “If something is made from scum, it must be a high-quality product.”

What's more, Ning Zimo also shoulders the dream of entertainment ecology that has been in his heart.

It also shoulders its own "one-slap dream"!

That's why Ning Zimo is so persistent and enthusiastic about this matter.

Therefore, wegame is a dream.

Because the opportunity to realize this dream is fleeting, and if you don’t grasp it, you will really miss it!

Ning Zimo closed his eyes and felt that his body, which was so feverish because of that slight chance, was slowly cooling down, but his body was still trembling slightly.

"So, Wegame is a dream, but because the opportunity to acquire glass slag is fleeting, is it difficult to realize the most perfect dream?"

Ning Zimo heard Chen Shijun's eager inquiry,

nodded,

He shook his head again.

He didn't know how to say it either,

After all, the acquisition of Glass Slag is just due to his obsession as a Glass Slag fan. With or without the addition of Glass Slag to Wegame, he will work hard to create an ecology that resists the secular world.

But if there is less glass slag,

It always makes him feel like something is missing.

Chen Shijun felt Ning Zimo's cooling enthusiasm and walked over and patted him on the shoulder:

"Man, I know you are passionate about games. That is a passion that you have never shown in your work, but you have never discovered it yourself!"

Ning Zimo suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Chen Shijun's words.

He looked at him in disbelief, then looked at the other partners.

To his surprise, everyone in the room, including Elon, nodded to him.

"Man, since you said that wegame is your dream, and you have studied the past of Vivendi and Glass Slag, combined with your idea of ​​selling skrpe, I can say that you must have some ideas about the dream you mentioned.

What was planned.”

Chen Shijun increased his volume, looked down at Ning Zimo and said:

"I don't know where your conflicting mentality about games comes from. Maybe it's the way your family educates you that makes you unconsciously avoid it. But now that you've grown up and become an adult, you have

Your own career. If you don’t face the shadow buried in your heart, will you be able to put down your baggage and go further in the future?”

"conflict?"

Ning Zimo was very confused. He really didn't understand where the conflict in Chen Shijun's words came from.

"Didn't you notice? You like games, and in front of games, you fully demonstrate your youthful nature. But what about other places where you are, in terms of life and work, where are you not rigid?

You just said that your view of the ecology of the Internet industry is innovation, but when you talk about the ecology of the gaming industry, you use the word subversion. What do you want to subvert? Who do you want to subvert? Only you know this question best, and I have no way to dig it out for you.

The dark side of when you were growing up.

But I know that if you don’t face it bravely, you will regret it after missing this opportunity.”
