Super Game Empire

When he saw Jiang Shaoyun, Yang Yun looked tired and flew around the earth for a week. The jet lag was disordered. In addition, he kept thinking and using his brain, so his heart and body were a little tired.

"Mr. Yang, 16 are back, and 4 are left left are detained." Jiang Shaoyun was worried. "Three are the most core programmers, and one is probably going to stay in the United States and he is unwilling to go back."

Yang Yun waved his hand: "If you don't come back, don't force it. If a person cannot be loyal to his heart, how can he expect to be loyal to the company and the country? I'll ask about the situation if the people who came back come."

Unfortunately, there are only 10 employees in the two sports games departments: EA Sports and EA Competition. The most important thing is the three employees who have not returned. Moreover, these three are developing EA's FIFA football.

The chess piece buried three years ago was actually stuck in the last level!

Damn it! Isn’t it just that I sent employees for free and competed for EA-Sports? FIFA football, NFL football, NBA basketball, PGA golf, NHL hockey, NASCAR racing, these are all hot

Pin sports type game.

The seeds planted by Yang Yun three years ago are about to be harvested, will it fail?

"President Jiang!" the secretary knocked on the door and said nervously: "The EA's President Probst called..."

Seeing Yang Yun nodding, Jiang Shaoyun said, "Check in!"

Larry's voice came quickly: "Jiang, we haven't sat down to chat together for a long time, right?"

Jiang Shaoyun didn't say anything, Yang Yun took over and said, "Larry, I'm Yang Yun. Why don't you come to New York? I'll treat you to afternoon tea?"

There was a silence on the phone. But a hearty laughter broke out soon: "So Yang is here too! No problem, I'm asking someone to book a plane ticket, see you tomorrow!"

Larry is coming to New York tomorrow, and this is the second fight between EA and Longteng.

The next day, Larry brought his secretary and lawyer to Longteng North American branch. But he saw Old Parker, Alexa, Jiang Shaoyun and Yang Yun greet him at the door, and couldn't help but be stunned.

In the big conference room, both sides involuntarily sat in a 3V3 formation, leaving an old Parker in the middle as a referee.

Yang Yun smiled: "Larry. I rarely come to New York, so I invited Alexa and Parker to come and reminisce about the past. Don't you mind?"

Larry smiled and said, "How could I mind? The last time I met Parker, it was when Fengshen Longteng went bankrupt in 1990. At that time, the three of us flew from all over the country to check the situation. We were so nervous.

.”

Alexae and Parker laughed. At that time, they didn't know Yang Yun's real plan. Even Jiang Shaoyun only got Yang Yun's order and had no idea about Longteng's secret acquisition of Sega. Of course, they were very nervous.

Afraid of Longteng going bankrupt.

Yang Yun sighed: "That was the most difficult time for Longteng. If it weren't for Larry, Old Parker, and Alexei. If you three of you hadn't lent me money, Longteng might not have been able to reach its current scale!"

After saying that, he bowed with both hands, bowed to the people present, and said gratefully: "I am very grateful to everyone for their help back then."

Jiang Shaoyun also sighed: "In a blink of an eye, three and a half years have passed, and time passes so quickly!"

Old Parker echoed and sighed: "Yes, time passes so quickly, I, Old Parker, have been aged three years more."

Alexei also laughed: "What has not changed may be our personal relationship. I have often met Larry in recent years. I miss playing Nintendo and Korami together in my hands.

Days...

Larry laughed dryly, and he realized something was wrong. Today, it seemed that they were playing emotional cards and taking the nostalgic route. It seemed that they were reminding the intimate relationship between the four companies, EA.KTT, Longteng and Parker brothers.

It was back then, and KTT could grab Conra from Nintendo Korami, and then release it from EA and make it by Longteng, but now it can't do it anymore.

Yang Yun was also watching this scene secretly. He knew that your uncle was no longer the old man of the past. Everyone sitting there had changed a lot compared to three and a half years ago.

Parker Brothers' company has been under great pressure recently. Because the Longteng card has stagnated, Hasbro has put a lot of pressure on them. There have been sounds of selling the company in the Parker family, which has made Old Parker physically and mentally exhausted. He is indeed old.

, can't do it anymore.

Since EA went public in 1990, it has received two rounds of financing. With each round of financing, Wall Street's venture capital group will increase some holding shares, while Larry and their management shares will shrink a little, and EA is maturing.

The capital operation gradually became a puppet of Wall Street.

EA's expansion route is very obvious. They will negotiate acquisitions depending on which company has development prospects.

In the past, they were looking for targets by themselves, but since they had Longteng, their work has become much easier. Following Longteng's footsteps, they will follow the company that Longteng likes, and if they can't, they will grab similar companies.

I've become accustomed to using money to expand my strength.

Without Yang Yun, EA would have acquired Distinctive without hesitation and then developed Need for Speed ​​in a few years.

If it weren't for Yang Yun, Bullfrog would have been taken into account by EA.

If it weren't for Yang Yun, EA would have acquired Ximutou Company in 1998, but Ximutou was defeated by Longteng and no one dared to take over. Of course, EA would not look down on this mess.

As for Blizzard, Blizzard was acquired by Xueleshan in real history, and later transferred to Vivendi Group, and later became independent. The whole process has nothing to do with EA.

But it was because Yang Yun, EA took the lead and acquired Blizzard's original team, and it is very likely that the name Blizzard will not appear in the future.

This is how fate teased people. Yang Yun cut off several of EA's arms, but fate gave EA a thicker thigh. In the process of grabbing the thigh, almost irreconcilable conflicts arose on both sides.

Today Yang Yun invited Parker and Alexei to try to see if they could break up peacefully.

As a result, Larry came with his lawyer and secretary. Maybe even the property division agreement had been drafted and was waiting for Yang Yun to sign it.

Larry slowly put away his smile, Yang Yun and the other two stopped laughing, Parker sat in the middle, feeling very embarrassed: "You guys, should you have a good talk? Talk about it calmly?"

Larry said calmly: "Then let's talk about it calmly. Yang, the company's board of directors has already known about the mass resignation of Chinese employees. Maybe you should give me an explanation and let me go back and get in touch with those angry directors.

?”

Yang Yun shrugged: "Those employees are mine. The agreement we signed back then was noted that they joined EA in the form of technical communication, and even I was responsible for paying their wages. They are not EA employees, so

What is the saying of resigning?"

Larry said dissatisfiedly: "Although the employer is you, they have undertaken the research and development work of several important projects of EA. They have not even finished the work handover and left quietly. Isn't it too unreasonable to do this?"

Yang Yun sneered: "No reason? Is EA competition very reasonable?"

Larry is not to be outdone: "EA Athletics is the decision of the board!"

Yang Yun confronted him: "Leaving EA is their personal decision!"

"Stop!" Seeing that both sides were about to start to curse each other, Parker, who didn't know the truth, quickly stood up and stopped the two: "Larry, Yun, I don't know what happened, but this is not the 1V1 game of Three Kingdoms Kill, not the killing.

It’s so simple with Shin. Can you speak as calmly as possible for my old Parker?”

Larry said irritably: "I can't calm down. The EA board of directors has made a decision. No matter what the reason for the resignation incident is, these employees will receive a summons from the court. I'm afraid they will not be able to leave the country smoothly!"

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

Alexei exclaimed: "How could it cause trouble to the court?"

Larry snorted coldly: "EA Company decided to hold it accountable and seek compensation for the losses caused by the suspension of the project."

Jiang Shaoyun said angrily: "They are not EA employees!"

"But they have actual employment relationship with EA." Yang Yun stopped the angry people and said lightly: "And the federal court will prefer EA Wall Street investors, and will support you with the reasons of protecting American assets,

Is this your trump card? Larry, do you want to see my trump card?"

Larry loosened his neckline and pretended nothing happened, but he was extremely nervous: "What are your conditions?"

Yang Yun said calmly: "I can ask them to return to EA to finish the work handover, but the huge losses you said are completely lies. The total investment budget of the four outrageous projects did not exceed $500,000, so

I don’t plan to pay EA any money for economic losses.

In addition, I want you to hand over all 20 people to me and then execute the contract for Conra to exchange for EA-Sports 30% equity. Longteng has no relationship with EA from then on."

Larry shook his head without thinking: "You want to exchange 30% of EA-Sports for Conra? This is impossible!"

Yang Yun tapped the table gently: "OK, I invested in "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" last year with the nature of the game, with a box office of 600 million US dollars. Mercko couldn't even close his mouth, and kept praising me for having a good vision. I hope

Continue to cooperate with me. The money I gave me was about 100 million US dollars. He hadn't given it to me yet. Why don't I just pretend that it doesn't exist and let the Mercury's media empire promote it for us? Oh, that's still useful

If you don’t have 100 million US dollars, just hire a lawyer for the remaining money!”
