Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 349 Vivendi's Press Conference

…

Compared with Gabe Newell's joy, Mike Morhaime, Frank Pierce, etc. are much calmer. ?шщЩ.suimEnG.1a Although Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty are really good, they are confident that their games are the best.

"Also, now we have six studios, including first-person shooters, online games, and role-playing games, but we lack casual games. Therefore, in addition to the development of new games, Matrix has to make up for this shortcoming." After a pause Then, "Gabe, as the CEO of Matrix Games, this task is handed over to you."

"Build or acquire?" Gabe Newell asked after nodding.

"Acquisition, a mature team can save a lot of unnecessary work. In addition, the scope does not have to be limited to the United States. China, Japan, South Korea, Europe, as long as the target is suitable!"

"clear!"

"Adam, someone suggested two good female singers to me, and you sent someone to sign them."

"Okay, boss!"

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the other party, Guo Shouyun thought for a while, "I only know their names, they are Adele Adkins and Taylor Swift, the former one is in the UK and the latter one is in the US. More specific Go check it out, the person who recommended it only told me so much!"

In fact, that's all he knew. Even though I chased stars in my last life, I wasn't a brainless fan, I just loved listening to the songs of these two people. Knowing the name is already a deep memory for him. As for male singers, sorry, who listens to pure man? Are we only interested in beautiful female singers?

Adam Ferguson frowned slightly and nodded. Forget the British one, the United States is so big, where can he find it? The police station? But he couldn't refuse the task that **oss personally ordered. After all, it's too bad to leave an impression of not being able to get in touch with everyone.

Later, Guo Shouyun communicated with the CEOs of various subsidiaries about the development details and answered their respective doubts before ending the video conference.

By this time, it was almost dark outside. A meeting that lasted more than six hours.

After dinner, I sorted out the minutes of the meeting, recorded the key points, and then called my home far away in San Francisco as usual, before Guo Shouyun took a shower and went to bed.

He got up early the next day and was dressed in formal clothes. Because today is going to attend the press conference of Matrix and Vivendi. Originally he didn't want to go, but Jean-Rene Fortou repeatedly invited him to retreat. Moreover, he also understands that Forto's purpose is nothing more than to use his influence to increase capital's confidence in Vivendi.

For Guo Shouyun, who has already let Phoenix start to acquire shares in Vivendi, the purpose of the two is not conflicting, but should promote each other. After all, this is good for both Phoenix and Guo Shouyun.

"How about it, is it okay for me to wear this?"

Rebecca nodded and said with a smile, "Boss, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely choose to be your lover!"

"Haha, thank you. However, when you were 20, I wasn't weaned yet!" After making a joke, Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "Let's go, the press conference starts at half past nine, so don't be late. "

Rebecca nodded and followed him out of the room.

From Guo Shouyun's villa in Paris to the Vivendi headquarters where the press conference is held, the journey takes about 45 minutes. But today he was also unlucky. He encountered a traffic jam on the road, and it took half an hour longer to reach his destination. Fortunately it's not too late.

"Mr. Guo, you are a little late today!"

After Guo Shouyun entered the door, Jean Rene Fortou hurriedly greeted him.

"There was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late. Sorry!"

"It's okay, hurry up and prepare, we will be on the field in ten minutes!"

"For such an important matter, I have already prepared it in advance." Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Haha, then I'm relieved!"

"Boss, Mr. Guo, it's your turn to play!"

The public relations manager of Vivendi in a black suit hurried over and said respectfully.

"Mr. Guo, please!"

"Please!"

The two were simply polite, and under the leadership of the public relations manager, they walked calmly into the press conference of Vivendi.

"Kaka...!"

Along with the snowflake-like flash, the sound of shutter rotation resounded in Guo Shouyun's ears like a never-ending tide.

A simple look at it, the people below are all people. It seems that there are hundreds of media at the scene today.

"Everyone, today is a press conference on the successful cooperation between our Vivendi Group and the Matrix Group. You have also seen that, now sitting in the middle of the rostrum is our CEO of Vivendi Group, Mr. Jean Rene Fortou, And Mr. Bruce Guo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Matrix Group. Therefore, if you have any questions today, you can ask the top management of the two groups on the spot. "

"In addition, due to limited time, in order to try not to let every media present come home empty-handed, each media has only one opportunity to ask questions. Please consider your questions carefully, and please consciously abide by the order of the scene. If anyone Sabotage, we'll have security take him out. Okay, now I'm announcing the press conference...!"

Before the public relations manager of Vivendi could say 'please', he was already familiar with their routines, or the media reporters who couldn't wait raised their arms high.

"Okay. Ask the lady in the blue striped shirt!"

The female reporter who was called in, wearing a blue striped shirt and jeans, said excitedly, "Mr. Vertu, can Vivendi's self-help this time help you get through this difficult time?"

"First of all, I want to correct that our cooperation with the Matrix is ​​not self-help as rumored by the outside world. It is the integration of the advantageous resources of both parties. Everyone knows that the Matrix Group owns the film and television copyrights of many popular novels. "Pirates of the Caribbean", " "Harry Potter" and "National Security" have created new box office records for the same type of film. The whole Hollywood believes that the future development of the Matrix Group is exciting. As a company in the same industry, Universal Pictures has the world's top production capacity and distribution channels. Only by cooperation between the two parties can we give full play to our respective strengths and create higher value. This is the original intention of our cooperation, not simply to make up for losses.  … Next!”

The unwilling female reporter sat down.

"Mr. Guo, what do you think of Vivendi Group's loss of 23.3 billion euros?"

"23.3 billion euros is indeed an astonishing figure. There are certain problems with Vivendi's operation. But I believe that the reason for such a large loss is also related to the general environment. For example, the global, especially European 3G telecom business The ebb of the Internet, the recession of the Internet industry caused by the Nasdaq crisis, etc. By comparison, you will find that any telecom and Internet-related company in the world has lost money in the past three years. Vivendi is just one of them. "

"In addition, although it is a loss. But Vivendi is not a pure telecommunications and Internet company. The two types of business do not account for a large proportion of all its assets. On the contrary, Vivendi Environment, Universal Music, etc. are more capable of creating value. Assets account for a higher proportion of Vivendi's balance sheet. Therefore, I believe Vivendi's difficulties are temporary. As the general environment changes and the return on advantageous assets increases, Vivendi will gradually recover from losses I have recovered. Moreover, through this period of contact, I have found that Mr. Forto is a wise and upright business manager. I believe that under his leadership, Vivendi will become great again.”

Guo Shouyun's 'compliment' was smooth and natural, which made Fortu involuntarily applaud him.

"Mr. Guo, since you are so optimistic about Vidiwang, why not buy it directly?"

"I had thought about an acquisition, but the Vivendi board, led by Mr. Forto, rejected my proposal!"

"Since Mr. Fortu and Mr. Guo said that Matrix and Vivendi are cooperating, please tell us in detail what aspects of cooperation between the two parties?"

After Guo Shouyun and Fortu looked at each other, Guo Shouyun made a 'you come' gesture. Fortu nodded and did not refuse.

"Our cooperation with Matrix is ​​mainly in film and television. In the future, Matrix and Universal's major production films will be dominated by Universal. Matrix and Vivendi each hold shares in Universal and share profits together!"

"Excuse me, what is the specific share of Matrix and Vivendi in Universal?"

"Sorry, each media can only ask one question. Also, the shareholding ratio is a business secret of the company, and I can't answer it. ... Next one."

"Mr. Guo, this time you came to France, in addition to participating in the negotiation of Vivendi, do you have another purpose code?"

"Of course there is. I have always longed for Paris, the romantic capital. Apart from negotiating this time, I hope I can get to know this beautiful city well." Guo Shouyun smiled.

"Then do you want to have a good love with a beautiful French girl?" the other party teased.

"I prefer Sophie Marceau, but unfortunately she is already married!" Guo Shouyun shrugged and smiled.

"Maybe Sophie likes young and handsome super rich...!"

Guo Shouyun smiled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did not answer. He's not stupid, of course he can't take it if he's obviously wearing a condom. Otherwise, I don't know how to write in the newspaper tomorrow.

Fortunately, the quick-witted Vivendi public relations manager called up the next questioner in time, which relieved Guo Shouyun.

However, the subsequent media bombardment did not make Guo Shouyun feel relaxed at all. Fortunately, even the hardest things will come to an end. An hour later, the press conference was over.

After a brief chat with Fortu, Guo Shouyun returned to his residence after rejecting the other party's lunch invitation.

"Let the crew prepare, we will fly to India tomorrow!"

"India? I thought you would invite Sophie Marceau to dinner?" Rebecca teased.

"If she was ten years younger, maybe I would still be interested!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand, turned around and walked into the study, "I'll take a rest, call me when lunch is ready."
