The shares of Blizzard and Valve, as well as the global distribution rights of these two companies, belong to Facebook Games North America.

In China, World of Warcraft and CSOL are so popular, but abroad, they are even more popular than others!

It can be said that in 2004, as far as the game industry is concerned, it belongs to Facebook games.

In the history of games, it can be named "The Year of Facebook"!

After the launch of World of Warcraft and CSOL, they swept the global online game market. In any country, basically more than [-]% of the online game market share belongs to these two games.

With the exception of Japan and South Korea, they are because their game industry is relatively strong and there are many excellent games.

But World of Warcraft and CSOL can still occupy more than [-]% of the game market share.

It can be seen from this that Facebook Games North America will produce a stunning financial statement by the end of the year!

…………

Although it's not yet the end of the year, Effie is very confident about the company's revenue this year.

Regarding how to spend the money, she has already made a special trip to discuss with Yu Wenfei.

"Mr. Fei, should we pay back Softbank's money first? I always feel burdened when I owe money." Effie said with a smile.

In order to acquire Facebook Games, it also borrowed an interest-free loan of US$[-] billion from SoftBank Capital, which is also one of the conditions for allowing SoftBank to raise capital for shares.

The money has not been repaid yet.

"Interest-free loan, why are you in a hurry to repay it? Softbank is not short of money now. At the end of this year, let's pay him [-] million first, and don't worry about the rest." Yu Wenfei responded.

"By the end of the year, Continental and North American companies will have a lot of money in their hands. Where should we use the money? Of course, those necessary investments, such as data centers, must be invested. But That won't cost that much money." Effie asked again.

"Hehe, do you still think there is too much money? Let me tell you, there are many places to spend money on Facebook games, and no amount of money is enough to spend!" Yu Wenfei shook his head and said.

Effie was very surprised. To be honest, what she discussed with Yu Wenfei before was how to develop the current business, and how to increase revenue if the company's two online games are successful.

How to spend money has not been discussed yet.

For a while, she really couldn't think of any aspect of the Facebook game that required huge investment.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a huge investment.

Because by the end of the year, the net profit of Facebook Game Continental and North American companies may reach about 300 billion!

Of course, it is RMB, not US dollars.

This money, no matter where it is placed in any country, can be described as a huge sum of money.

In the game industry, Facebook Games is already a global giant, and there is no new large-scale online game that needs to be launched in a short period of time.

And other businesses have also entered the revenue stage, and the investment has already been invested.

So, she really doesn't know, what else is there to spend money on.

Effie had thought that the money would be handed over to the board of directors for dividends.

Well, she also has shares in the Facebook game company. If the dividends are paid, she can get a considerable amount of money herself!

"The game industry has a huge market. Where are Facebook games now? There are so many game companies in the world, and good games are emerging one after another." Yu Wenfei shook his head and said with a smile.

"However, we already have two of the best game companies. Blizzard and Valve can even be called number one in the world in their respective fields!" Effie argued.

"No, I can only say that World of Warcraft is the best online RPG game at this stage, and CSOL is the best online FPS game at this stage. But if there are other companies that make more interesting games, there are more What about the types of games? No matter how good a company is, but with limited energy, it is impossible to produce many games at the same time. For a large-scale game, it will take too long from project approval to launch, and the company cannot Make money from a game."

Yu Wenfei explained patiently.

Effie was thoughtful, she nodded slightly, "President Fei, what do you mean..., continue to increase the capital of Blizzard and Valve, expand their team, and let them make more games?"

"I almost guessed it right, but it's not the capital increase of Blizzard and Valve, but the acquisition of more game companies and excellent game studios!" Yu Wenfei said briskly.

In any industry, as long as you have enough capital in your hands, you can basically do whatever you want.

In Effie's eyes, the scale of the Facebook game may already be very large.

However, in Yu Wenfei's eyes, this is just the beginning!

There are still many excellent game studios in the world, and he wants to take advantage of the downturn in the game industry to take them down.

Games are a very important piece of the puzzle in the entertainment industry, and an industry with great vitality.

Look at Sony is about to go bankrupt, but for the console and game division, it is still firmly in its hands.

Look at Microsoft, a software empire. In order to get a piece of the game industry, it has invested a lot of money for more than ten years, even if it has been losing money, it will never give up.

Let’s take a look at some of the largest Internet companies in the future. Needless to say, Tencent can be called an online game empire.Waving checks, making global acquisitions, any game company that shows signs of explosion, you can immediately see Tencent.

Amazon, Google, and Ali are all working on their own cloud gaming platforms!

Yuwenfei's layout in the Internet industry is actually carried out around the chain of "social networking - pan entertainment".

"Social" is the entrance of traffic and the means of retaining traffic.

"Pan entertainment" is the best channel for traffic realization!

Both are indispensable.

With Facebook and WeChat, there is basically no problem in the "social" area, and it has also mastered the largest entrance of domestic Internet traffic.

And Facebook Entertainment and Facebook Games are his "pan-entertainment" pawns. In the future, these two companies may not be smaller than Facebook, or may be larger.

Therefore, Yu Wenfei will not allow Effie to "get rich and secure", the expansion of Facebook games has just started this year!

…………

Hearing that Yu Wenfei said that he would continue to acquire game companies or studios, Effie's heart skipped a beat. She widened her eyes and asked, "Is Fei always looking for another company?"

According to Effie's understanding of Yuwenfei, there are basically no cheap companies that can make President Fei fancy...

Maybe this acquisition is more than the money spent to win Blizzard and Villefort in one go.

Could it be another shocking merger and acquisition?

Who knows, Yu Wenfei just waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know much about the game industry, compared to you, you are professionals.

What company should be acquired, you can organize some experts to discuss it when you go back.
