Chapter 143

"I will be a good partner. I won't interfere in your work. I will also provide you with funds and a better working environment." Tracy clearly positioned himself. He wanted to buy Blizzard Entertainment as their boss, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to want to be the commander of these awesome game designers.

Professional things must be left to professionals. Blizzard will produce high-quality products. This is not a joke. Throughout the development history of Blizzard, that game is not a classic in the game.

Facts have proved that Blizzard is successful. Tracy is happy to enjoy his success and share their dividends. How can he not be clear about his position and tell them what to do.

Vivendi's approach is absolutely wrong. Their attempt to intervene in Blizzard's work is undoubtedly strangling Blizzard's creativity.

Vivendi doesn't think so in Tracy's eyes. Because this is their acquisition concept.

To acquire a good industry, they don't want to develop, but immediately restructure, extract the residual value, and finally package and sell it as a whole.

Xueleshan online was abandoned by them. The four giants of northern Blizzard studio who ran away also disagreed with their ideas.

The fate of the reorganized universal entertainment of the universal film industry they acquired will also be the same. Now the sellers are looking for a good price.

The situation of Vivendi's parent company is not good now. It needs the feedback of these subsidiaries.

While Tracy was talking, the servant brought up the brewed coffee. Tracy took a cup of coffee, took a sip, and glanced at the three Blizzard founders.

The bearded current Blizzard president Michael Mohamed did not touch the coffee, but looked at Tracy and asked, "can you guarantee that you won't go back on what you said after buying Blizzard?"

Without proof, Michael moweimi will not trust his promise with Tracy's one-sided words. The other two founders Alan Adhan and frank pierce also looked at it. They thought the same as Mike.

Vivendi had the same guarantee before acquiring them, but it was not squeezing their value after that.

"The biggest difference between Vivendi and me is......" Tracy smiled at them, put the coffee on the table and looked up with pride and confidence, "I'm richer than them, and I'm more ambitious than them. Vivendi likes to acquire, restructure, extract residual value from high-quality industries, and finally package and sell them. They like to make this kind of quick money, but I'm not. I prefer a chicken laying golden eggs to bring me profits."

Tracy's words were very explicit, but did not cause each other's dissatisfaction. The three looked slightly stunned and looked at each other. They only listened to Tracy continue: "it can be said that Vivendi is a capital giant who only attaches importance to capital income and does not attach importance to game quality. For Blizzard, losing autonomy and creativity means death.

They don't understand games at all. In their eyes, Blizzard is just a stock that can only be used to appreciate. As long as they can get enough benefits, they will not hesitate to abandon you. Just like your current partner xueleshan online, their value has been squeezed clean. What is their fate? Sold at a low price or dissolved. "

"Xueleshan online can't compare with blizzard. Our game sales are very good. The company has been making profits. At present, the sales of Warcraft 3 has exceeded 3 million."

Alan Adhan, the former CEO of Blizzard, is obviously dissatisfied with Tracy's comparison between xueleshan online and blizzard. Xueleshan can't compare with blizzard in terms of game quality and performance.

"Blizzard is really better than xueleshan." Tracy smiled and nodded to cater to the former CEO, but immediately changed the subject and said: "so, now the dead xueleshan, Blizzard survived."

Alan adekhan frowned and wanted to retort, but Tracy interrupted, "don't deny it, Mr. adekhan. If Sherlock mountain is more valuable than blizzard, what do you think Vivendi would do to you?"

Tracy looked directly at him and looked at the other two. Seeing that they were silent, Tracy said impolitely: "You'll have a look at the end of xueleshan. There's only an empty shell left and it will be dissolved at any time. In fact, Vivendi can't wait to start with you. They forced away four partners of your northern Blizzard studio, and have to intervene in your business and transfer your business center. Funny Vivendi quietly wanted to list and sell the game department as early as last month 。

Do you know how much they charge? They want to sell the game department as a whole for $2 billion. Tut Tut, they can really do business. In addition to the first capital injection when they bought you, they have been pumping your blood for the rest of the years. Now they're almost squeezed, and they want to sell you at a sky high price. "

Tracy's disdain is obviously his contempt for Vivendi's practice. Now Vivendi is lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot. Blizzard in the north runs away and Blizzard headquarters is divorced. Its 2 billion dream is about to be dashed.

Michael Mohamed looked gloomy and obviously knew the plan of his parent company. He took a sip of coffee and said, "they don't understand games. They don't understand Blizzard's game positioning. It's ridiculous that we should reduce the investment in PC games and strengthen the investment in TV games."

"Yes, Mo Huaimi. They thought it was the world of video games, and they actually had to reverse. I don't deny the status of video games, but with computers entering thousands of households, PC games are the trend of game development, and then of course online games. The advantage of Blizzard now lies in the PC side. They want to reduce the investment in PC games. Isn't that self destroying the foundation.

The four Diablo giants of blizzard in the north were forced away by them for this reason. Because their Diablo 3 took too long to develop, Vivendi wanted to cut them. If your Warcraft series is the same, will they force you away? "

Tracy was very clear about the contradiction between Vivendi and blizzard. He said the key. It is for this reason that he has the chance to intervene in blizzard.

For Tracy's words, the three founders smiled quite easily, and frank Pierce, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth: "Vivendi can't do this. Forcing us away is tantamount to directly destroying blizzard. Now they are trying to appease us. After all, Warcraft: the frozen throne is going to be on the market. At this critical time, they don't think of any mistakes.

Of course, we all know what you said. Otherwise, the three of us won't come to see you. If we stay in Vivendi, Blizzard will eventually be destroyed. We need a new club with the same idea. "

"I'm definitely your best choice." Tracy immediately took up his words, took out a material and handed it to them. "Let's go straight to the subject. I know your situation very well, and you must know my financial resources and sincerity. Talk about your requirements and plans, and I'll try to meet you."

The three Blizzard founders read the materials given by Tracy. The above is some data, including the market share of TV games, PC games and online games.

In addition to these data, there are some development norms and prospect planning. Tracy took some private jobs and analyzed the development trend of PC games and online games in the future.

He is very clear that in the future, online games are the backbone of the game industry. Blizzard's rise depends on world of Warcraft, and its future development will certainly be put on it.

Of course, the concept of mobile games is also mentioned above, but it is not very clear. After all, both IOS and Android systems are still a concept, and mobile games are not valued at present.

After reading the information brought by Tracy, Michael Mohamed was obviously excited. He held his chin and thought for a while and said, "how do you want us to cooperate with you and how do you want to complete the acquisition of Blizzard? You just said that you are very ambitious. We are not sure if you will try to kick us out after acquiring blizzard."

"Hahaha, Michael, you think too much. I need you to make money for me. How can I kick you out. I hope you cooperate with me to control blizzard. We are equal." Tracy smiled naturally. The lowest expectation in her heart must be to eat nearly 70% of Blizzard shares in Vivendi's hand.
