Outsiders are very curious about the two of them, but they don't know what they are talking about, let alone what kind of relationship or grudge they have.

A banquet brings together the world's top business elites, whose combined worth is as high as 10 trillion US dollars. All elites are here to expand their network of contacts.

As for Ren Hong and Lex Wayne, they did not communicate in any form after a brief meeting.

There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Ren Hong came here to make some soy sauce and help Musk to support the facade. Except for meeting an "old friend" by accident, there is no substantial gain. Being invited is naturally a friendship. factor.

After returning to the office, Ren Hong stopped going out and only waited for the special flight back to China tomorrow.

The trip to Seattle has come to an end.

...

Just the day after Ren Hong returned to the company's headquarters after his trip to Seattle, the United States, another industry shook.

On this day, there was a major news in the game industry, which was called the ninth art, and the maker of this news had the participation of Matrix Technology. Not only did he participate in it, but he was also one of the protagonists.

"A major earthquake in the industry, after Sony and Microsoft, another giant crocodile entered the ninth art." - "Love Play.com" front page headline.

"The big crocodile enters the market, is the game industry ushering in a new round of reshuffle?" - "17173" headline.

"Matrix Technology XlouS wants to be the first party in the game industry? Sony and Microsoft have been extremely nervous recently, and XlouS may become their strongest competitor." - "IGN" headline.

Just today, both domestic and foreign game practitioners or gamers are facing a major industry shock.

It is at 17:20 in the afternoon of New York time today.

The game developer "Ubisoft", which owns the famous series of games "Assassin's Creed" series, "Watch Dogs" and other masterpieces; owns the "Final Fantasy" series, "Dragon Quest" series and other representative masterpieces Game developer "Square-Enix-Co.Ltd" company; game developer "Konami" company which owns masterpieces such as "Metal Gear" series and "Pro Evolution Soccer" series; Rockstar-North is a game development company owned by Rockstar-Games, the representative masterpiece of the "Grand Theft Auto (GTA)" series.

And, Roberts-Space-Industries, the developer of the famous game "Star Citizen", which broke the crowdfunding record with more than $100 million in crowdfunding, launched a joint announcement in New York.

Except for Chris Roberts, the developer of "Star Citizen", the other four game development companies have profound historical background. The CEOs of the five game developers jointly announced at 17:20 New York time this afternoon that their The company was officially merged into the Matrix Technology XlouS Group and became its five subsidiaries.

The sudden announcement of this news caught the entire game industry unprepared, and Matrix Technology quietly acquired four of the top ten game companies in the world. World"'s space science fiction online game "Star Citizen" was also included in the bag.

This move of Matrix Technology can even be said to include "half of the country" in the content output of the current game industry. Which of the four top game developers does not have one or even several masterpieces that are world-renowned in the industry?

Among them, Ubisoft was acquired by Vivendi in 2017. As early as a year ago, there was news from within the Vivendi Group that it intended to transfer to Ubisoft, and now there is no need to doubt it.

At this joint press conference, "Ubisoft", which owns the representative works of the "Assassin's Creed" series, was merged into Matrix Technology at a price of $4.5 billion; Incorporated into Matrix Technology; "Commelo", which owns the masterpiece of the "Metal Gear" series, was merged into Matrix Technology at a price of US$5.3 billion; "R Star", which owns the masterpiece of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, was sold at a price of US$8.7 billion Directly merged its major studios and publishers into Matrix Technology; and bought it from Chris Roberts for $920 million, together with himself, his studios and "Star Citizen".

This time, Matrix Technology spent a total of 24.12 billion US dollars to buy almost "half of the country" in the game industry. Among the top ten game developers in the world, there are four companies, and Matrix Technology has become their new owner.

Matrix Technology cost more than 24 billion US dollars, and the shares of the four major game developers, each company holds an average of 69.8%, but it is worth mentioning that these game companies faced the pressure of capital, although they finally chose to compromise, However, Matrix Technology also promises not to interfere with the operation rights of game developers.

This is the last "struggle" of their four major companies and the last "territory" they can rely on for survival. If this territory is also lost, they will inevitably choose to leave the company. Obviously, this is what Matrix Technology does not want to see. The company Executives and top game developers or teams are the souls without whom a company would surely die.

As long as the voting rights are given up, and the CEO of the company continues to control the company, they will not be too resistant to capital.

After this news was announced, Wall Street was the first to be affected. The market value of the four game companies rose accordingly. There was no other reason, just because the four game companies either found new owners or changed to new owners. The owner, Matrix Technology, spent more than 24 billion US dollars to buy "half of the country" in the content generation of the game industry. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Wall Street to think that Ren Hong is a masterpiece on a whim.

Matrix Technology has resources and wealth unimaginable by other companies, which means that as long as Ren Hong is not messing around and disrupting the game industry, the four companies will have broader channels, platforms, distribution, etc. There is no platform or channel of its own, but it is too easy for such a giant company to be a channel and a platform. Even just waving their hands, there are a lot of people who are willing to send it to the platform and channel, because they are simply I would like to see competition with the giants of Zheyue, because their capital simply cannot resist such giants, let alone Matrix Technology and a solid strategic ally like Facebook.

The total market value of the four game companies has officially exceeded 40 billion U.S. dollars from 35 billion U.S. dollars, and there is still an upward trend.

Compared with Wall Street, which is always looking at the fluctuations in values, practitioners in the game industry are more concerned about how the entry of Matrix Technology, a predator, will shake and influence the global game industry. Bought four of the world's top ten top game developers in one go, and at the same time attached a "Star Citizen" that is currently extremely optimistic.

What exactly does Matrix Technology want to do? Many people in the industry want to know this, among which the game departments of Sony and Microsoft are undoubtedly the ones who want to know the most, and the most anxious and nervous are undoubtedly the Sony PS game console and Microsoft's Xbox game console. Since a giant like Matrix Technology has set its sights on the field of games, the only ones who can get their eyes on it are probably the first party in the industry, that is, the platform.
