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 grievances they have between them.
A banquet brought together the world's top business elites. Their combined worth is as high as 10 trillion US dollars. Elites from all walks of life are here to expand their networks.
As for Ren Hong and Lex Wayne, they did not communicate in any form after a brief meeting.
There is no permanent banquet in the world. Ren Hong came here to make a soy sauce to help Musk support his appearance. Apart from meeting an "old friend" by accident, he had no substantial gains. Being invited is naturally a friendship. factor.
After returning to the office, Ren Hong stopped going out and only waited for the special plane to return to China tomorrow.
The trip to Seattle came to a successful conclusion.
...
Just the day after Ren Hong ended his trip to Seattle in the United States and just returned to the company's headquarters, a big vibration occurred in another industry.
A major news occurred in the game industry, which is called the ninth art, on this day, and the maker of this news has the participation of Matrix Technology. Not only is it involved, it is also one of the protagonists.
"The big earthquake in the industry, after Sony and Microsoft, another giant crocodile entered the ninth art."-"Iwan.com" front page headline.
"Predators enter, is the game industry ushering in a new round of reshuffle?"-"17173" headline news.
"Matrix Technology XlouS will be the first party in the game industry? Sony and Microsoft have been extremely nervous recently. XlouS may become their strongest competitor."-"IGN" headline.
Just today, whether they are practitioners or gamers in the game field at home or abroad, they all face a major industry shock unpreparedly.
Just at 17:20 in the afternoon in New York time today.
Ubisoft, a game developer that owns the famous series of games such as "Assassin's Creed" series and "Watch Dogs", etc.; has representative masterpieces such as the "Final Fantasy" series and "Dragon Quest" series Game developer "Square-Enix-Co. Ltd" (Square-Enix-Co. Ltd); "Konami" (Konami), a game developer with representative masterpieces such as the "Metal Gear" series and "Live Football" series; Rockstar-North, a game development company owned by "R Star" (Rockstar-Games), which owns the masterpiece of the "Grand Theft Auto (GTA series. And, Roberts-Space-Industries, the developer of the famous game "Star Citizen" that broke the crowdfunding record with more than $100 million, launched a joint announcement in New York.
In addition to "Star Citizen" developer Chris Roberts, the other four game development companies have deep 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 XlouS Group of Matrix Technology and became its five subsidiaries.
The sudden announcement of this news made the entire game industry unprepared. Matrix Technology silently acquired four of the world’s top ten game companies. Among them, it was also known as the next "Warcraft "World"'s space science fiction online game "Interstellar Citizen" was also included.
This move by Matrix Technology can even be said to include "half of the country" in the current content output of the game industry. Which of these four top game developers does not have one or even a few Zhenshan's works 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 the Vivendi Group that it intends to change hands to Ubisoft. Now there is no doubt.
At this joint conference, "Ubisoft", which owns the masterpiece of the "Assassin's Creed" series, was incorporated into Matrix Technology at a price of US$4.5 billion; "Square", which owns the masterpiece of the "Final Fantasy" series, was priced at US$4.7 billion. Incorporated into Matrix Technology; "Commero", which owns the "Metal Gear" series of masterpieces, was merged into Matrix Technology for US$5.3 billion; "R Star", which owns the "Grand Theft Auto" series, is priced at US$8.7 billion Directly merged its major studios and publishers into Matrix Technology; and bought it from Chris Roberts for $920 million, including himself, his studios and Star Citizen.
This time, Matrix Technology spent a total of US$24.12 billion and almost bought "half of the country" in the game industry. Four of the top ten game developers in the world, Matrix Technology became their new owner.
Matrix Technology cost more than 24 billion U.S. dollars. The four major game developers hold an average of 69.8% of the shares of each company. However, it is worth mentioning that these game companies are facing the pressure of capital, although they finally chose to compromise. But 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 live on. If this territory is also lost, they will definitely choose to leave the company. Obviously, this is what Matrix Technology does not want to see. Executives and top game developers or teams are the souls, and the company will lose its vitality without them.
As long as the voting rights are relinquished and the company's CEO continues to control the company, they will not be too resistant to capital.
After the 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, because the four game companies either found a new owner or changed to a new one. The owner, Matrix Technology spent more than 24 billion US dollars to buy the "half of the world" generated by the game industry content. 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. This means that as long as Ren Hong is not messing around and wantonly disrupting the game industry, the four companies will have broader channels, platforms, distribution, etc., Matrix Technology looks like There is no platform or channel of its own, but it is too simple for such a giant company to be a channel and a platform. Even with a wave of hands, a lot of people are willing to offer it to the platform and the channel, because they simply I would like to see the giants of Zheyue competing, because their capital can't resist such giants, not to mention Matrix Technology and solid strategic allies like Facebook~EbookFREE.me~Four game companies The total market value from 35 billion US dollars officially exceeded 40 billion US dollars, and there is a rising trend.
Compared with Wall Street, which is always looking at the fluctuation of the value, the practitioners in the game industry are more concerned about the vibration and influence of the entry of Matrix Technology, a predator, on the global game industry. It bought four of the world's top ten game developers in one go, along with an extremely promising "Star Citizen".
What exactly does Matrix Technology want to do? Many people in the industry want to know this. The most want to know is undoubtedly the game departments of Sony and Microsoft. The most anxious and nervous are undoubtedly the Sony PS game console and Microsoft's Xbox game console. Since a big crocodile like Matrix Technology has taken a fancy to the game field, I am afraid that only the first party in the industry, that is, the platform, can enter its eyes.
