My rebirth is different

It is often a CG animation in a game, and the production cost can catch up with a large-scale movie. Of course, this also provides players with a wonderful visual feast.

This kind of behavior, in the eyes of other game companies, including Vivendi, is stupid, because removing these CGs, or doing some cheap cutscenes, will not affect the game sales much, so why bother? Spend so much money in these places.

But it is Blizzard's "stupidity", this kind of investment regardless of cost, and the careful polishing of every detail of the game, which has created Blizzard's unparalleled glory!

Of course, this brilliance was limited to the old Blizzard period. After the old employees left, especially after cooperating with Activision, it is no longer the original Blizzard, and all kinds of show operations emerge in endlessly.

"None of you have a cell phone?"

This sentence once made Blizzard fans all over the world explode, and I don't know how many players have changed their careers since then.

And then to the triple version of Warcraft, "Alsace, you made a paternal decision" "It's me, Kel'Thuzaga dog", "Oh, I should have thought that this sword was grass, Run!" "Then, if you're too aggressive, I'll accept it."

Brain-dead Sinicization like this emerges endlessly, which also makes Warcraft, a god-level IP, directly reduced to a joke.

Yu Wenfei’s acquisition of Blizzard, to a certain extent, did not want to see this game company, which has accompanied countless players around the world for many years and brought joy to everyone, embark on the original path of no return.

After all, who hasn't been addicted to a Blizzard game...

…………

There is no doubt that the establishment of Southern Blizzard Studio is to put pressure on Vivendi again.

Richard really couldn't hold it anymore. Vivendi's board of directors has many shareholders. He is just a CEO, a senior wage earner.

Now that the trouble with Blizzard is like this, many shareholders have already expressed their dissatisfaction. If it is not handled properly as soon as possible, the board of directors will probably start discussing his fate.

"Contact that...what's it called, yes, Facebook game, and ask how they think about it!" Richard ordered.

"But in this way, the other party will definitely lower the price." Jackson reminded.

Negotiations are like this, as long as you show impatience, the other party will definitely take advantage of the situation to suppress.

It's not that Richard doesn't understand this truth, but now he doesn't care about it anymore. It's not a big deal for him as a CEO to be more expensive and cheaper.

Anyway, it didn't cost too much money to acquire Blizzard at the beginning. Over the years, a lot of funds have been withdrawn every year.

Now as long as the selling price is no less than one billion yuan, it can be explained to the board of directors.

If you lose your position as CEO in order to sell an extra [-] to [-] million, then you are a real fool.

…………

Vivendi let go.

After Yu Wenfei was notified by Effie, he immediately got up and flew to the United States.

Before meeting with the people from Vivendi, the work that should be done has been done, so the real negotiation will be easier.

On May NO.30, Richard represented Vivendi and Effie represented Facebook Games, and the two parties formally signed an acquisition agreement.

The 70.00% shares of Blizzard held by Vivendi were sold to Facebook Games at a price of one billion US dollars. Since then, Blizzard's major shareholder has become a Chinese company!

When the agreement was signed, a public press conference was held. Major media outlets across the United States and even in Europe received invitations and sent reporters to the scene.

Of course, the invitation was issued in the name of Vivendi and Blizzard. In the invitation letter, it was only stated that Blizzard would officially change ownership, but it was not disclosed to whom.

"What, Blizzard sold it? Who did it sell to?"

"I don't know. It is said that it is a company with a very mysterious background. After talking with Vivendi for a few days, they decided to acquire Blizzard."

"What's the price?"

"I don't know the exact price, but it's definitely not less than one billion US dollars. Some investment companies quoted [-] million US dollars a while ago, and they were all thrown out of the door."

…………

On May 31st, at the press conference site, there were a cloud of reporters, all kinds of cameras and long-lens cameras were set up in front of the stage, and everyone was waiting for the main show to appear.

Richard and a young girl walked up to the stage side by side.

He announced with a smile on his face: "Girls and gentlemen, welcome to come here. Today, on behalf of Vivendi, I will hand over Blizzard to Facebook Games from China!"

There was an uproar at the scene. It turned out that a Chinese company had acquired Blizzard.

This is a sensational big news!

Blizzard, Vivendi, and the mysterious Chinese company are linked together.

"The Chinese spend a billion dollars to acquire the world's top game company - Blizzard! "

"Blizzard changed ownership, will the new Chinese major shareholder help Blizzard continue its past glory? "

"The current acquisition of Blizzard is a typical person with a lot of money. The biggest problem facing this Facebook game is the competition from Southern Blizzard!" "

Many reporters have already thought about the headlines of the news, but no one is optimistic about the acquisition of Facebook Games.

Everyone knows that the current Blizzard only has an empty shell and a few old game IPs left.

After Facebook Games took over, will they have the ability to support the normal operation of the entire Blizzard?

In the game industry, I have never heard of any outstanding companies in China.

Effie smiled and faced the audience. The flash lights that lit up like stars were a bit dazzling, but she didn't care.

This is a stage that everyone is looking forward to, and most people will never have a chance to be on it once in their lifetime.

And myself, when I was just 20 years old, I stepped onto this big stage.

Her eyes couldn't help but began to search for that figure, and soon, in the guest seats in the front row, she saw Yu Wenfei holding a digital camera with a smile on his face, taking pictures here and there.

It was this man who single-handedly pushed himself onto this stage!

Effie also believes that this is just her starting point. With the acquisition of Blizzard, the future of Facebook games is even more promising.

Chapter 550 Children's Day Gift

In domestic time, it has just come to the early morning of June [-]st.

Yu Wenfei's facebook, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sent an inexplicable message.

"Happy holidays, children, my cousin brought you a gift today, please check it."

Many night owls who slept late saw this news immediately.

As a rule, any Facebook post sent by Yu Wenfei, no matter what the content is or when it was posted, will be immediately seen by millions of fans.

Because he has so many fans!
