The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 195 193. Misunderstanding is the fate of the speaker

  This incident not only caused an earthquake of public opinion in China, but it was also heated up in Western countries.

  The president of Epic also responded to this, saying that it is true that Epic and Bomi have reached a cooperation intention, because this is a win-win process that requires each other.

  Epic’s response actually confirmed the news of Bomi’s acquisition of them.

  At the same time, in Paris, France, Vivendi was also anxious.

  Almost 2 months have passed, but there is no better buyer willing to take over the game division from Vivendi.

  On Vivendi’s side, it’s not easy to be killed, the asking price is too high.

  Now Vivendi has once again been pushed to the forefront. During this time, since the collective departure of the Northern Blizzard team, it has suffered a lot of public condemnation.

  Fultu’s pressure is quite large.

  The game department lost money if it didn’t make enough money. Now the Northern Blizzard has left collectively, and only the Southern Blizzard is left.

  No one wants to take over.

  At the same time, Fuertu called Bomi to discuss the sale of the copyright of "Warcraft", but so far they have not received any response.

After reading the media reports, Fuertu discovered that Bomi, who was planning to negotiate with the company for the acquisition project, has already found a partner in the United States. No wonder the attitude has undergone a 180-degree change. I don't care about it.

  If there is no Bomi to take over, then after losing the Northern Blizzard team, Vivendi’s game division can only bite the bullet and do it.

  Fultu is now planning to move the remaining personnel of Blizzard North to the south and merge with Blizzard South to form a smaller but relatively complete Blizzard company.

  As for the future development direction, Fuertu has no concept yet.

  As for whether Blizzard can continue its past glory, it is still unknown whether it will be affected by the departure of the Northern Blizzard team and cause the loss of personnel.

  Shareholders hope that Fuertu will find his next home soon, so he is also frowning now.

  I could still count on Bomi originally, because at that time Fuertu saw that Mr. Cao’s willingness to acquire was quite strong. Even the later proposal to acquire only the copyright of Warcraft was feasible in the eyes of the senior management.

  Unfortunately, now Bomi has found a substitute.

  Uncomfortable, uncomfortable.

  Fuertu pinched his eyebrows.

  At this moment, he suddenly received a call from the secretary outside, "Mr. Furtu, Bomi’s phone number, line 1."

Huh? !

  Fuertu's whole person suddenly shaken.

  ……

  This time, the date is completely controlled by Bomi.

  The date is set for April 20. Both parties are still in the company of Vivendi in Paris, the last meeting room.

  The old place is more intimate.

   Compared to the last interview, Cao Yang seemed calm and relaxed.

  After all, Bomi is already a company with Epic, and the original Blizzard has lost the greatest strategic significance for them.

  With the departure of the northern blizzard.

  Now Blizzard’s greatest value is the last one left for Cao Yang——

  Warcraft.

  The copyright of Warcraft is still very impressive. In the previous life, it provided a magnificent epic picture scroll, slowly unfolding, and told the world a legendary story that happened in another world.

  Many people are fascinated by it, and this copyright has successfully created a large number of popular characters:

  Thar, Kael'thas, Brainless Roar, Gul'dan...

  Cao Yang now thinks about it, and still thinks the copyright of Warcraft is really great.

  Even the very hot Song of Ice and Fire is not as good as World of Warcraft in terms of the macro and details of the world architecture.

  If possible, Cao Yang really wants to poach the man named Chris Mason, who is the chief screenwriter of Warcraft, and he has written a lot of stories about Warcraft.

  Of course, he is not the only one on the screenwriting team, but Chris Mason is one of the main screenwriters and is well known by many players.

  ……

  After everyone sat back at the negotiating table, this time Fuertu was completely the opposite of the last time the image of the aggressive and important iron cock. He looked much more cordial and lovely.

  Cao Yang was also very relaxed this time. Originally, he kept the mentality of being able to talk and not being able to talk down.

  Fuertu also knows this well. His current thinking is to fight for more benefits from Bomi.

  So the overall meeting atmosphere is quite harmonious.

  Compared with the first negotiation, this time is much smoother.

At the beginning, Fuertu also tried to open the mouth, trying to exaggerate the importance of the Warcraft copyright to Blizzard and the entire Vivendi game business department, saying that after leaving this copyright, Blizzard will be difficult to continue, so the Warcraft copyright is worth at least 3. Billion dollars.

  Cao Yang's reasons for refuting are quite sufficient:

  In this case, in other words, at that time, your 380 games plus 1,500 developers packaged only 1.8 billion.

  One Warcraft costs 300 million. Does it mean that other games are too rubbish?

  Is the production team also worthless?

  So it is impossible for Bomi to let go, not to mention that with Epic, Bomi seems more confident.

  For Vivendi, they certainly know that the copyright of Warcraft is not worth so much money, at least not so much at the moment.

  With a team and technology, it’s not impossible to build another Warcraft.

  Now the Blizzard team does not have Warcraft, there are interstellar, and Diablo, these are all major copyrights.

  Change a world view, you can still write about the bizarre magical world.

   is the same for Cao Yang.

  It’s good to be able to get the copyright of Warcraft. If you can’t get it, you won’t lose too much. The big deal is to change the package and continue to be the WOW of the wizarding world.

  It’s just that you can’t use this name and its classic settings.

  So in the entire negotiation process, Fuertu was just a process of raising the price first and testing Cao Yang's bottom line step by step.

  ……

  After nearly a day of bargaining, everyone finally reached a unified——

  Bomi also made some concessions, and finally agreed to buy the copyright of Warcraft for 120 million US dollars.

  The Warcraft games that Blizzard has developed must be transferred to Bomi for sale, and all source codes and all art and planning materials must be given to Bomi.

   Then, although Blizzard’s "Warcraft III: Frozen Throne" has not been developed yet, it will also be handed over to Bomi.

After   , if there is a problem with the source code and technical level, the developers from Blizzard need to go to the Imperial City for explanation and guidance, and help Bomi’s programmers to fully grasp Blizzard’s game code.

  In addition, after the signing of the agreement, except for Bomi’s authorization, no other company may develop and distribute Warcraft-related games without authorization, which contains the related story background and character settings of Warcraft...

  ……

  After reaching the agreement of intent, the rest of the process is still handed over to the respective legal teams for processing.

  At the moment when he walked out of the Vivendi Building, Cao Yang let out a long sigh of relief.

  The tense nerves finally relaxed.

   "It's too difficult, it's really difficult to be able to talk about this step."

but……

  A gratified smile appeared on Cao Yang's face.

  It feels worthwhile.

  Although we did not succeed in acquiring Blizzard, we got Warcraft.

  Owning the copyright of Warcraft means that a lot of derivatives can be produced in the future.

  For example, the official Hearthstone

  Includes the future MMORPG "World of Warcraft" that will sweep the world and dominate the list all year round.

  There are more distant future overlords "dota" and post-moba products.

  ……

  Cao Yang and his party have not yet returned to China, and there has been a lot of rumors in the country about their trip.

  First of all, the industry insiders got the news that Bomi was going to France again in the first time.

  "Hey, have you heard that, Bomi seems to be going to Paris again to talk about the acquisition with Vivendi."

   "No? Really? Is it true that Vivendi wants to sell Blizzard to Bomi?"

   "I think this is very possible."

   Xishanju is about to explode.

  If the failure of the last Bomi negotiation was an inevitable result, everyone does not believe that they can acquire Vivendi’s game division.

  So this time going to Paris again is a bit intriguing.

  Before, Boss Cao was still in pain, saying that he was looking forward to the response from Vivendi. This process may be short or long.

  Everyone also joked that Bomi would not be able to receive a response from Vivendi in this lifetime.

But--

  Now everyone is slapped in the face. Boss Cao not only received Vivendi’s response, but this time he really went to Paris.

  What to talk about, no one will know if we talk about it.

  ……

   "The person who said that he was going to eat **** before, hurry up and perform."

   "Does your face hurt? Did you get beaten up? I said you guys one by one. What I said before, boss Cao will never be able to buy Blizzard in this life.

  What do you say now?

  I went to Vivendi for the second time to discuss this matter. "

  "……"

   "How can I say it, I can only say Bomi beef batch."

   "However, there is no specific news yet. Who knows what the final result will be?"

  "This Nima...Bomi is too exaggerated, right?"

   "I feel that this time should be very promising, otherwise it is impossible to receive a response from Vivendi so quickly."

   “There is such a possibility. I heard that Vivendi’s financial report was not very good. It seems that the repayment pressure is a bit heavy.”

   "That's it, boss Cao's operation directly caused countless people to eat shit. Thinking about it, this picture is quite spectacular."

  ……

  Bomi company personnel were once again blocked at the airport gate.

  "Mr. Cao! Here and here! May I ask if your company went to Paris this time, did you talk about the purchase of the Vivendi Game Division last time?"

  Cao Yang smiled and waved his hand, "I'm sorry, it's not what you think, we are not going to talk about the acquisition of the game business department this time."

  It is estimated that it will be difficult for Vivendi to find new buyers in the future.

  According to their urination, there is a high probability that the remaining Northern Blizzard employees will be merged with Southern Blizzard.

  But now the copyright of Warcraft is in the hands of Bomi, I don’t know what kind of trump card Blizzard can play in the future.

   High probability will be related to the interstellar or "Overwatch" which takes the science fiction route.

  Maybe there will be a wow-like online game with a dark world view in this world.

  But those are not things that Cao Yang should be concerned about.

   "Mr. Cao, we heard rumors that Bomi was to acquire Blizzard this time. Although it is not a game division, it is a very remarkable achievement, right?"

   "No, no," Cao Yang hurriedly dismissed, "We are not going to buy Blizzard this time, and there is no acquisition of companies. Really."

  Everyone was taken aback.

What did you say?

  Bomi went to Paris with great fanfare this time, how could it not be for the acquisition?

  Is it possible that because of the last negotiation, you have established a deep friendship with the people of Vivendi. Is this time you went to dinner?

I do not believe.

  Media people are naturally full of skepticism.

"What I said is true," Cao Yang replied very seriously, "This time, we mainly went for the copyright of Blizzard. The good news is that Vivendi agreed with us to buy the copyright of Blizzard's Warcraft. "

  Grooving!

   Boss Cao’s eagerness to play is really superb.

  The scene was in an uproar.

  All media people are extremely surprised.

  This Nima...

  Have acquired the copyright of Warcraft, what do you want?

  Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what the result of what Boss Cao said was.

  You said he did not acquire Blizzard, right?

  But after taking the copyright of Warcraft, the future releases will be issued by Bomi. So what will the players in the world think when they play Warcraft?

  This is almost the core of Blizzard, right?

  You said he really bought Blizzard, right?

  But you just got a copyright, and even Blizzard employees didn’t dig it.

  The media people are caught in a problem——

  How to write tomorrow’s report?

  ……

  The next day, the news of Bomi's acquisition of the copyright of Warcraft also made the headlines of major game newspapers.

【Shock! Bomi acquires the copyright of Blizzard! 】

The term    is very clever, at first glance it looks like Bomi bought Blizzard.

  But if you take a closer look, it turns out that it was just a fake shot, and what people bought was Blizzard’s copyright.

  [Blizzard: Part of me has become Bomi]

  【Blizzard: Say goodbye to the past, embrace the future, and fulfill Bomi】

  [Blizzard has passed, but I still need to see Bomi in the future]

  ……

  So, without any accident, Bomi once again caused a big earthquake in the gaming world.

  Countless players exclaimed when they saw the news.

   "Fuck, Bomi actually bought Blizzard!"

   "You read it wrong, was that an acquisition of Blizzard? It was an acquisition of one of Blizzard's copyrights."

  "Slot! Who played the title? These unscrupulous media, do you want to deceive the fragile hearts of players like this?"

  "What is the difference between buying the copyright of Warcraft and buying Blizzard?"

   "No, no, it's still different. In addition to Warcraft, Blizzard also has Diablo and Interstellar."

"It's over, it's over, Blizzard has abandoned it. It turned out to be walking with three big thick legs. Now Blizzard in the north has left in a group. Diablo has broken most of the leg. As a result, Bomi directly bought the leg of Warcraft, and he was born. Isn’t there only Interstellar?"

  "Hahahaha, one-legged Blizzard feels really miserable, but not necessarily. The copyright of Warcraft is in the hands of Blizzard, isn’t it better than in the hands of Bomi?

  Have you not watched the X engine promotional video posted by Bomi?

   Could Bomi develop more admirably? "

   "Awesome, Boss Cao, acquired the copyright of Warcraft, so that Blizzard has no Warcraft to do. Boss Cao is absolutely cut off!"

"I understand, Boss Cao is worthy of other people's copyrights, but not of other people's teams. From the X engine promotional video released by Bomi before, it can be seen that Bomi's R&D strength is above Blizzard. , People don’t need Blizzard’s staff to help with development.”

   "Isn't it? Boss Cao has counted everyone."

   "Boss Cao, Niubi!"

  "From today, Boss Cao will be my idol!"

  ……

  Early the next morning, Cao Yang went to the company. As soon as he walked in, he saw all the employees smiling at him.

After walking a few steps, Liu Guangran took the lead and stood up.

  All the employees stood up together and looked at Boss Cao.

   Cao Yang took a step back in fright, "Damn, **** you? Frighten me."

  Liu Guangran took the lead and applauded, "The boss is mighty, the boss is domineering, and the boss is awesome!"

   Then a group of people also shouted: "The boss is mighty, the boss is domineering, the boss is awesome!"

   Cao Yang quickly raised his hand to stop them, "You are crazy, you guys?"

   "Boss, your overseas trips in the past few months are simply too great, and you can actually take Blizzard down." Liu Guangran said after him.

   "Only got the copyright of Warcraft." Cao Yang emphasized.

   "That's already amazing." Liu Guangran asked, "When shall we have a celebration party?"

   Cao Yang gave him a fierce look, forced Liu Guangran back, and then slipped into the office by himself.

  When these people bought Xingyue before, why didn’t they see you so happy?

  But it’s right to think about it. Xinyue is not well-known, but Blizzard is very famous.

   was very famous at least at this time in 2003.

  ……

  Returning to the seat, the little secretary sat in front of the computer next to him and took a while to operate.

   "Boss, you really got it right. Now the reputation of Bomi from the outside world has begun to reverse. The original black Bomi is now starting to praise us."

  Zhuang Yurou smiled happily.

  She is also a member of the negotiation team this time, so she has a sense of accomplishment in participating.

  Cao Yang smiled, and did not speak.

  Human beings are like this. How miserable you were when you were so dark at the beginning, and later when you prove it with your strength, you will be held up high.

  The reverse is also true.

  Before Penguin acquired Riot, people did not believe that Penguin could do it.

  As a result, not only did they do it, they also slapped countless people in the face.

  At the beginning, others don’t believe it, so it should be questioned, but when you do a good job step by step and speak with your strength, you can break this question.

"Hey."

  Cao Yang smiled and sighed, “In one sentence, being misunderstood is the fate of the speaker.”

  But it's past, it's not important, the most important thing is to go step by step.

  Cao Yang put his hands behind his head and leaned on the chair.

  He closed his eyes and thought carefully:

  China, island countries, China’s treasure islands, the United States...

  The channels have been fully opened up.

  Now that the road has been paved, the next step is to focus on development.

  ……
