"Don't worry, cousins, Blizzard is not just a gift for your cousins, it's for you. I can assure you that Blizzard will soon bring a game that everyone will love, both male and female, for all players. At that point, you'll be thankful for your cousin. ”

After the launch of World of Warcraft, how popular Yuwenfei was, but I still remember it vividly.

This game is not only enjoyed by male players, but also by countless female players.

In World of Warcraft, I don't know how many couples have been achieved, but many people have met their other half through this game, and it was at that time that the so-called "Ben Xian" became popular!

Of course, there have also been a lot of bloody things, such as the famous "Copper Whisker Gate", which I won't talk about in detail.

Since Yu Wenfei has promised this, of course, everyone can only choose to believe him, and they are full of longing for the upcoming World of Warcraft.

"What my cousin is talking about must be World of Warcraft! This is a masterpiece that Blizzard has been polishing for more than ten years!"

"100% of the time, the other Warcraft and Diablo are not suitable for female players, that is, online games like World of Warcraft. Really curious, can World of Warcraft be more fun than Legends and Wonders?"

"It's a fool upstairs! What can the company that developed Legends and Wonders compare with Blizzard! In the name of Blizzard's development, World of Warcraft will absolutely crush all online games at this stage as soon as it is launched. ”

"Blizzard's products must be high-quality! This sentence is not a joke. ”

At that time, Blizzard had too many fans, and after their word of mouth, World of Warcraft, an online game that had not yet been launched, had become popular on the Internet, and countless players began to look forward to the launch of World of Warcraft.

............

On the one hand, Facebook Games and Vivendi have just completed the acquisition procedures, and on the other side, Southern Blizzard has issued an open letter again.

"I'm glad that Blizzard has finally gotten rid of Vivendi's control! After negotiations with Facebook Games, Southern Blizzard has decided to merge into the original Blizzard, after all, there are our youth and good memories there. As long as there is a little wiggle room, we don't want to leave there!"

After Richard saw this news, he was really angry this time!

"These damn Yankees, they must be colluding! Deliberately put pressure on us to sell Blizzard at a low price, and then let Facebook Games buy it!"

His guess was almost the real answer, but unfortunately, even if he knew it in advance, it wouldn't change anything.

Not to mention that now that the purchase procedures have been completed, the raw rice has already been cooked into cooked rice.

Yu Wenfei met with Alan and Mike again, and promised not to siphon a penny of profits from Blizzard for at least ten years!

All of Blizzard's annual earnings are kept in the company to fund the company's expansion and new games.

Moreover, after this acquisition, Blizzard did not have much cash on its books, Yuwenfei proposed a plan for content expansion and financing, according to the proportion of shares, Facebook Games took out 70 million again, and Mike took out 30 million as the company's operating funds.

When everything was done, everyone was happy.

............

After Facebook Games passed a new round of financing, Yuwenfei's shares were diluted to 78.9 percent, Effie was 0.9 percent, and Cai Congxin was 0.9 percent.

Conversely, SoftBank's stake rose to 20.1 percent.

SoftBank paid a huge sum of $1.5 billion for the 11.1% stake. Of this, $500 million is financing costs and the other billion is interest-free loans.

After the acquisition of Blizzard, the valuation of Facebook Games can basically be said to have steadily surpassed Facebook.

Originally, at the time of financing, Yuwenfei and SoftBank both valued Facebook Games at $4 billion, and now they have to add Blizzard.

And Blizzard is worth at least $1.5 billion, of course, even if someone pays $2 billion, Yuwenfei won't sell it.

Because this company is the bridgehead and pioneer of his entry into the game industry, it is of great strategic significance.

Leaving Effie and the company's legal and financial personnel to do work with Blizzard, Yu Wenfei was single and went to Stanford University.

Here, there is an old acquaintance of him!

Zhou Mengqi came here to study after the New Year, as a cousin, how could Yu Wenfei not visit her this time.

And Blizzard and Stanford University are both in California, which is not far away.

..................

"Zhou Mengqi, our brotherhood is going to hold a party tonight, I just don't have a female companion, are you free?"

On the campus of Stanford University, Zhou Mengqi was about to go to the library to study, when she was stopped by a tall male classmate on the way.

"ALAN, I'VE SAID IT MANY TIMES, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN PARTIES AT ALL. I'm sorry, but I also asked Jesse to discuss a topic in the evening, and I didn't have time. Zhou Mengqi frowned slightly.

Allen is a third-generation Chinese, and his grandfather's generation immigrated here, and he can be regarded as a scholarly family.

Grandpa is a well-known painter, and Dad is now working in a big law firm and is also a senior partner.

Allen's mother, a doctor, opened her own private practice.

His family conditions can also be said to be upper-class in the United States.

In addition, Alan himself is in good condition, tall and handsome, rich and generous, driving a Ferrari around the school all day long, and the female companions around him don't know how many have changed.

However, since he met Zhou Mengqi by chance, he was suddenly shocked and began to stalk Zhou Mengqi.

After inquiring, he understood Zhou Mengqi's situation.

The exchange student from Tsinghua University in China will stay here for a year at most, and judging by her dress, the family conditions should be average.

This kind of girl, Allen thinks that with her own conditions, she can't be caught.

As long as he took her to see the drunken gold fans of the upper class, he was not obedient, so he began to use various means to show off his wealth in front of Zhou Mengqi.

"Ha, I saw a good watch yesterday, so I bought it casually. This is IWC's latest, a complication with a moon phase function, and it is not expensive, less than $40,000. ”

"Ferrari is tired of driving, ready to change to a new car, by the way Zhou Mengqi, do you have any favorite car, help me recommend it." ”

"Hey, yesterday I went to Michelin's newly announced new three-star restaurant, bullshit molecular cuisine, what's the use of making things look good, but the taste is really bad! ”......

He said a lot of things like this in front of Zhou Mengqi, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect.

Zhou Mengqi smiled faintly every time and didn't answer.

Alan thought, if he doesn't change his way, is this girl not too sensitive to money?

Well, you should always be interested in status and power!

But he is still a college student, and he doesn't have much status and power, thinking about it, his eyes lit up, and he thought of his fraternity membership!

In the eyes of many people who don't know the inside story, it seems that the brotherhood in Lao Mei University is so awesome.

There are also many rumors that everyone is a member of the Brotherhood, which casts a hazy veil over the mysterious Brotherhood.

Of course, in fact, it is really good, in some universities, the power of the fraternity is not joking, even greater than the president of the university!

That's because most of the universities in the United States are private, just like private companies, since they are enterprises, they have shareholders.

And it just so happens that many of the members of the fraternity are shareholders of the university......

They can decide whether the principal's job can be kept, and how much power can they have.

But many people don't know that the brotherhood of Lao Mei is not just a group. There are thousands of different kinds of fraternities!

And there are only a few truly high-end fraternities.

Just like Stanford University, where Zhou Mengqi is located, there are more than a dozen fraternities alone, some big and some small, some famous and some not.

And Allen's brotherhood can be regarded as middle and upper-class, after all, his family conditions are there, but at the same time, his Chinese identity is destined to make him unable to enter the top brotherhood.

Lao Mei also has a xenophobic tradition, and it is very serious!

............

Alan knows that in the eyes of many international students, the fraternity is full of mystery, especially for new students who have just arrived in the United States.

So he thought about using the name of the brotherhood to fool Zhou Mengqi.

But what I didn't expect was that this girl really didn't eat oil and salt, and she was not interested at all.

Alan felt very frustrated, it has never been so difficult to chase girls by himself, but his tutor is still good, he didn't use any indiscriminate tricks, and he has always been very polite.

"Allen, you're pestering Zhou Mengqi again. I warn you, this is my good friend, stay away from her, or don't blame me for shaking out all your. A white girl approached from afar and said loudly.

Alan turned his head and saw that it was Jesse.

He and Jesse are also very familiar, the two are still neighbors, but they can only be regarded as ordinary friends, and Jesse is also a nerd, and he can't play with him.

Jesse walked over quickly, took Zhou Mengqi's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to the library, don't bother with this playboy." He, to put it in a Chinese phrase, is an embroidered pillow and hay core!"

Alan corrected her, "Jesse, you're not right, it should be an embroidered pillow straw core! ”

Jesse grinned, "Well, you're right, it's the embroidered pillow straw core, it's you." ”

At this moment, Zhou Mengqi's mobile phone rang.

Zhou Mengqi is still a little puzzled, her mobile phone will be called by family and friends in China, at this time it is noon in the United States, and it is late at night in China, and the average family member should not call herself at this time.

When she took out her mobile phone, she saw that it was still an American phone number, and she pressed it casually.

“HELLO”

"It's me, Yu Wenfei. ”

Yu Wenfei's familiar voice came from the phone.
