The Strongest Hacker

Chapter 564 Structure (3)

"It's a pleasant cooperation. I don't know when the Star Group will be ready for the press conference." Fortu smiled and stretched out his hand to Chen Xiaowei and said, from the moment the contract is signed, Blizzard Entertainment will become a member of the Star Group. Subsidiary. "We can announce at any time, depending on when your company needs it." Chen Xiaowei nodded slightly and said politely.

Fortu nodded: "Then I hope that on September 2, that is, the morning after tomorrow, your company can hold a press conference to announce the news." This is one of the conditions of cooperation between the two parties, and there is no problem with it. Chen Xiaowei nodded and agreed. It has been stated in the agreement between the two parties that Starry Sky Group just announced the news. The group needs to be held accountable.

The news of the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment was not released to the outside world immediately, but the inside of the Star Group knew about it, and Zhang Yang had already brought it with him. OD and Mo Lei and Mo Xin went straight to the headquarters of Blizzard Entertainment in California. Blizzard's president, Mike, didn't know that Vivendi and Star Group had contacted before the two companies signed the contract, because Zhang Yang came here to negotiate in the name of investigation and negotiation, so Mike just had a good time to receive the two.

After all, although Blizzard and the Star Group are partners now, the gap between the two parties is quite large. The current Star Group is no longer the small company that is almost the same as Blizzard Entertainment. The current Star Group has the highest market value in the world, and The company with the greatest potential is the company with the greatest potential. There are quite a few potential groups in the subsidiaries of the Star Group alone. Apple is one, and Qualcomm is another.

As compared to the whole world. The owner of the DMA patent, the potential of Qualcomm is beyond doubt. After receiving Chen Xiaowei's call and the faxed copy of the contract, Zhang Yang directly invited all Blizzard executives into the meeting room. Mike looked at Zhang Yang strangely and asked: Chapter 564 Structure (3) "Mr. Zhang, what is the reason for inviting us here?"

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, looked at the many managements of Blizzard Entertainment opposite, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Hehe, you are welcome, we will be a family in the future. Just now, the Star Group has successfully acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary from the Vivendi Group. The acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment means that Blizzard Entertainment will become one of Star Group's subsidiaries in the future." Zhang Yang's words made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly fall into a dead silence.

Mike and the others all opened their mouths slightly, and a few managers even dug out their ears in disbelief to confirm that Zhang Yang was right. "This is the copy of the signed contract between the company and the Vivendi Group that I just received." Zhang Yang handed the fax in his hand to Blizzard's senior management. The Blizzard senior management did not speak, and they just began to circulate the document with their heads bowed. .

This is the tragedy of a wholly-owned subsidiary. As long as the parent company is willing, you have no right to resist whoever you sell to. After Mike and the others have read the information in their hands,

Zhang Yang said with a slight smile, "I think Blizzard will shine more brilliantly in the hands of the Star Group. All Star Group will not make any adjustments, of course, except for increasing investment funds."

Zhang Yang's words stunned the meeting room for a moment, and then everyone let out a burst of laughter. At this moment, everyone has adjusted their emotions. Although they couldn't accept that the Vivendi Group just sent Blizzard It was sold to the Star Group quietly, but for them, as long as the Star Group does not interfere with Blizzard's affairs, it may not be a better choice for Blizzard. Vivendi Group's financial constraints often require Blizzard's Support, but the Star Group and the Vivendi Group are different. The most important thing that the Star Group lacks is money!

In this way, Blizzard will have more funds to develop and research games. "I think the Vivendi Group will inform you of this news soon. I won't say much here. What I want to talk about is another issue. I bought Blizzard for only one purpose, and you must be able to guess it." Zhang Yang Going directly from the guest's position to the main position of the conference room, Mike didn't have any special expression, just sat in the deputy position next to him.

"Is it because of the Star Cup?" The minds that could sit here naturally turned quickly. They probably guessed what Zhang Yang said, and Mike asked softly. Zhang Yang nodded slightly: "That's right, it's because of the Star Cup. In addition, there is the most important one, that is, the Star Group plans to adopt all the professions and races in World of Warcraft, and develop the battlefield of World of Warcraft separately. As a competitive game!"

"Huh?" Zhang Yang's words made everyone present choke, and after a pause, Mike thought for a while and said, "This is not technically difficult, but World of Warcraft is a relaxing game, and it is not a problem to switch to a competitive game, because the battlefield It’s a kind of competition in itself, we can be divided into teams of five, ten, fifteen, or even twenty people. But the only problem is how to solve the broadcast problem? There is no God’s perspective in World of Warcraft, and there is no Zhao’s perspective. "

Zhang Yang glanced at Mike in admiration. He is indeed the helm of Blizzard. Although Mike is not good at game development, he is the leader of the company. EO, Mike's vision is quite unique. Zhang Yang nodded slightly, looked at the people present and said, "This is a big problem, so my opinion is that we should make a new game while maintaining all the settings of World of Warcraft."

"En? Do it again? Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" A blond man with curly hair sitting on the other side immediately sat up straight with interest. Seeing Zhang Yang's gaze cast over him, Mike immediately introduced him in a timely manner: "This is the person in charge of Blizzard Entertainment's game planning department, and also one of the main creators of World of Warcraft, ~~ Thief."

After listening to Mike's explanation, Zhang Yang nodded with a slight smile and said, "~~...Mr. The client, its main theme is competition, so the number of maps inside can be limited to a small number of parts, we only need to make a variety of battlefield maps, so I mean to optimize all its resources, currently Warcraft The picture of the world is a little too rough."

The playability of World of Warcraft is very high, but its picture is very rough because of its huge client, at least compared to those games that specialize in picture as a selling point.

"Well, I agree with your opinion, Mr. Zhang, but if Mr. Zhang makes a separate resource like this, it is only a matter of art and there is not much that needs to be modified. What I want to know is that Mr. Zhang will use this new competition What does the re-production of the World of Warcraft screen look like?" MANK nodded and asked curiously.

"What do you think of us directly adopting the characters in the promotional film produced by Star Group for World of Warcraft?" Zhang Yang said directly.

"Ah? Mr. Zhang, is your intention to use your company's special effects to create a realistic scene for the entire game environment? With all due respect, the picture quality of the game is unquestionable, including the special effects of skills, etc. I admire your company's special effects quite a lot, but the only thing is, is the computer performance required for the game produced in this way too large? The current mainstream graphics card may not be able to support such a picture." Another one with a beard The bearded man opened immediately. asked.

"This is one of the creators of the company's art special effects and game engine." Mike introduced Zhang Yang again. "I agree with your point of view. It is very difficult to play such a game with the current computer technology, but it is not impossible. If the Star Group launches a graphics card specially made for this game. Yang's overall performance, plus the Star Group Do you find it difficult to perfectly optimize the photon defense system?" Zhang Yang threw out his next target with a smile.

Zhang Yang's words made the meeting room extremely quiet immediately, and everyone's eyes were a little dazed. At this time, they were a little shocked to find that Zhang Yang's purpose might not be just a game, as simple as a Star Cup. Although these people are also engaged in technology, their ability to take up management positions proves that they also have a good business vision.

When Zhang Yang said this, they thought about it for a while, and their faces were full of admiration. Everyone's eyes seemed to have changed a little when they looked at Zhang Yang. Then they realized that Star Group not only has games, but also system optimization software. Star Group can still produce it now. PU can also produce graphics cards! That's almost it! A complete industrial chain.

After joining Qualcomm's. Just after the development department, AMD's. PU development work can be described as rapid progress. Although it is impossible to catch up with INTEE in a short period of time, it is at least much stronger than AMD in the world of Zhang Yang's previous life, and coupled with the current ATQ, in the process of resource integration, when. The PU and the graphics card are fully matched together, and the performance is naturally not comparable to the performance of those self-assembled computers.

In fact, whether it is an assembled machine or those branded machines, it can play well. The performance of the PU and the graphics card is about 70% at most, and the mutual compatibility between these hardwares will inevitably lose some performance. "Uh, with all due respect, the Star Group currently only has PU and graphics card production lines, and the motherboard also plays a significant role in this aspect, so there are still certain flaws in the impact on the overall performance." Another shareholder He asked tentatively.

Zhang Yang immediately smiled. He quickly turned to Mike and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Mike, is there a TV here? Can I receive the TV of Star Group's press conference?"

"Yes." Mike was stunned for a moment, but he still stood up and turned on the large LCD TV in the other section of the meeting room. After switching a few channels, the California TV station was broadcasting the press conference of the Star Group. The press conference was held in "City. It's morning in China at this time, and Blizzard has already got off work here.

Beg... Let me announce the news. Just today, Star Group has reached four acquisition agreements. First, Star Group and Vivendi Group have successfully signed a contract to acquire Blizzard Entertainment for US$1.5 billion. Blizzard Entertainment will Become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star Group. In the second transaction, Star Group has just completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Taiwan ASUS Corporation at a price of 100 million U.S. dollars, and has carried out related share consolidation. The third and fourth transactions are Star Group's wholly-owned acquisition of Maxtor and Seagate, two major hard disk manufacturers of the United States, at a total price of 10.1 billion US dollars. "Chen Xiaowei smiled and said to the endless flashing lights.

As Chen Xiaowei announced explosive news one by one, the others didn't know, anyway, the people in this conference room were already in a daze. Asustek is already almost a complete assembly line manufacturer, except. Except for the PU, Asustek has the production of graphics cards, but now Asustek has been acquired by the Star Group, not only that, Starry Sky has also acquired Seagate and Maxtor, which means that the hard disk manufacturers in the world are basically taken into the arms of the Star Group. inside.

And the most important part of the computer, the memory module production company, has been acquired by the star group long ago. The leading memory module manufacturer in the industry, Pirate Ship Company! Or the Jolly Roger Company! Corsair's memory sticks are not shipped much, but this company is indeed one of the most respected overclocking memory manufacturers in the world. Its memory sticks are quite expensive, and it is one of the best choices for countless game fanatics.

After announcing these four news, Chen Xiaowei did not continue to speak, but stood on the rostrum with a smile and let the reporter take a few photos. Then, Chen Xiaowei continued: "In this regard, Star Group now announces that Star Group's subordinates Subsidiaries, AMD, ATQ, Qualcomm, Asustek, Corsair, Seagate, and Maxtor will be merged, Star Group will hold 62.3% of the new company, and other shares will be distributed by the original shareholders of each company. The new company will be named Xingkong Computer Co., Ltd., and it will be one of the holding subsidiaries of Xingyan Group."

Following Chen Xiaowei's last word, the flashlights in the TV have been connected together. At this moment, all the computer manufacturers in the world have kept silent, waiting for the company to hold an emergency meeting. Board of Directors. With the series of acquisitions by the Star Group, it means that the Star Group has completely formed a complete industrial chain in the name of one company! In other words, in terms of personal computers, Star Group can be said to no longer have to look at the face of any other company. ! ! ! \u003c/p\u003e;
