Mike Mohan is not good. If this person is his new boss, what's the point of running this far away?
The point is ... so embarrassing!
"You do not believe?"
Luo Sheng glanced at him, seeing the expression on the other side, could not help but raise a silent smile, then pushed a prepared document in front of him to Mike Mohan, who looked at the document on the desktop A subtle stun in my heart.
Because Mike Mohan realized that this is not impossible, what is the virtue of Vivendi and how he may not know, this is one of the most notorious capital groups in the game industry, and the division of Blizzard in the North is thanks to the Vivendi Group.
The story can be traced back to 1998. Blizzard was "adopted" by Vivendi in that year. After accepting Vivendi's investment, Blizzard quickly conflicted with the concept of "dad".
However, it was not
Daddy
that eventually led to a large-scale exodus of Blizzard employees, including the
Diablo IV
. The exodus directly led to the closure of Blizzard in the north, and also seriously disrupted the Diablo series of projects.
暴 For Blizzard Entertainment, being oppressed by a "dad" who doesn't understand himself is a very painful thing, and what is more painful is that you have no way.
In order to obtain greater benefits, the Vivendi Group has frequently moved again this year. Mike Mohan has already learned the news long ago. Vivendi is actively promoting the intention to force Blizzard into Vivendi games this year, and wants to let Blizzard Merged with Activision and renamed "Activision Blizzard", this matter must be completed before the end of the year, less than two months away.
Mike Mohan never expected that at the crucial moment of the final merger, he was sold by his "dad" without any knowledge.
"If you don't believe it, just look at it. This is the equity contract between Bluestar Technology and Vivendi." Luo Shengfeng said lightly.
Looking at the documents on the table, Mike Mohan hesitated for a long time, and finally picked it up to open the list.
看 After looking at the documents, the founder of Blizzard could not help but take a deep breath and shook his head again and again.
"Ok, boss, when are you going to fire me?"
Mike Mohan had to accept the fact that the Vivendi Group's profit-making virtues should have been believed, not doubted by fantasy.
"Fried? No, no, I will not fire you, and I will not interfere too much in Blizzard's operations, just like the taketwo company I acquired, and Blizzard, which is merged into my Bluestar Technology Group, will do the same, just merge Financial statements. "Luo Sheng said with a smile, and could not help but raise his comfortable Erlang legs.
The already depressed Mike Mohan immediately looked up and looked at Luo Sheng when he heard the words, but he did not speak. He heard the taketwo company rekindled a glimmer of hope, which reminded Luo Sheng of the game industry many years ago. Acquisition case.
If the new owner also adopts the stocking status like taketwo and valve companies, thank God, Blue Star Technology Group is simply the savior of Blizzard, rescued from Vivendi's claws.
"You should know that the original purpose of my acquisition of Blizzard was to fancy the e-sports plan of the two rts games of" Starcraft "and" Warcraft ". At the beginning of the month, my people should have talked to you." Luo Sheng Looking at the other's eyes, Mike Mohan nodded.
After a while, Luo Sheng added: "I only intervened in two things under Blizzard's game. I gave it to wrpo in the e-sports. This event brand is a cup. If you want to be yourself, you can also be a tournament. I do n’t Will interfere, as long as you ensure a steady increase in annual profit, you can play as you want. "
"I have no ability to oppose now." Mike Mohan replied helplessly.
Indeed, Bluestar Technology now has absolute control over Blizzard Entertainment.
However, after experiencing great ups and downs, Mike Mohan was actually quite lucky. Instead, things were good for Blizzard. At least Luo Sheng's commitment was still very credible, because the several game companies he bought before are now nourished one by one. And there really wasn't much intervention.
Mike Mohan looked at him and said, "So boss, what's the second thing you say?"
Luo Sheng immediately said: "That is, to enter the wrpo competition project, each year you must take out 3% of the game ’s revenue for the year as a membership fee and submit it to wrpo. Operations, including bonus pools for contestants, etc. Of course, your own carnival can also run competitions, I just said. "
An e-sports game, the more events the higher the vitality, and for wrpo events, as long as other large events have passed wrpo certification, professional players can earn points by playing the game, which can form a benign Positive cycle.
An e-sports game will promote the prosperity of e-sports when the game is hot. At this time, the thrust of the game is greater than that of e-sports. When the game is weak, the prosperous e-sports will be extended to a large extent. The life of the game, some players have retreated, but they will still watch the game and continue to pay attention to the e-sports game that they have fought. Of course, they will be able to sneak in the life of the game for a period of time.
This is a win-win situation.
莫 Mike Mohan nodded without hesitation: "No problem at all!"
The inexplicable Chang in his heart was relieved. He thought that the harsh conditions would be, but he did not expect such a requirement. Now the company is his, and this requirement is irrelevant at all.
However, Mike Mohan also seems to have guessed the purpose of Luo Sheng's move. The wpro event brand is obviously very ambitious and wants to integrate the entire global e-sports industry and make the wrpo event into the Olympic Games in e-sports.
In fact, Blizzard has long been eyeing the huge cake of the Korean Star League, and it is imbalanced. The direct and indirect profits created by the game of StarCraft in the Korean e-sports industry have exceeded the profits of the game released by Blizzard. The key is that Blizzard has not made any profit from it. No one can figure it out, and there is a ghost in the heart.
Therefore, this year's Blizzard decided to announce "StarCraft 2" at the Carnival, largely because it wanted to get a share in the e-sports field, but it didn't work out that it would be like this. Blue Star Technology has cut off.
However, it does not seem to be a bad thing now. Although this ending is unexpected, it is actually good. Wrpo belongs to Blue Star Technology. Now Blizzard also belongs to Blue Star Technology. In the future, Blizzard wants to cultivate in the e-sports sector. Pong on the thigh of Blue Star Technology and Wrpo.
Bad things become good things.
At this moment, Mike Mohan feels like a famous quote in a movie, and life is like a chocolate.
In this way, Blizzard's "Warcraft" and "StarCraft" have been finalized, and another popular gaming project "Half Life" needless to say, its company Valve The company has long been acquired by Luo Sheng.
At present, the three main e-sports items are all in hand, and wrpo event brands can be launched without worries.
"Half-Life" project, Luo Sheng personally made a phone call to g fat to settle the matter, "Half-Life" 3% of the annual income will go to the wrpo fund pool.
游戏 For game manufacturers, this money is taken as advertising costs for promotion, the difference is that they must be submitted regularly every year ~ EbookFREE.me ~ until the project exits the wrpo system.
After finishing the three most mainstream e-sports projects, wpro can host the first one. As for other competitions, their influence and audience are far worse than these three games. At most, "fifa2007" is added. Icing on the cake.
These days, for the practitioners in the e-sports industry, it is simply a torment.
Because Bluestar Technology has announced the wrpo tournament system in a high-profile, there is no following, which makes many people wonder if something unexpected happened? It would be funny if Bai was happy.
This is really not the intention of Bluestar Technology, because Luo Sheng must settle Blizzard Entertainment. He doesn't want to be a wedding dress for others, and he doesn't want to be surprised.
Now that all three major e-sports projects have been completed, they can be announced.
On September 17th, the official website of Bluestar Technology disclosed the news again, and once again set off heated discussions in the e-sports circle.
Uh ...
