Effie was surprised, to be honest, what she had discussed with Yu Wenfei before was how to develop the current business, and how to increase revenue if the company's two online games were done well.

I haven't talked about how to spend my money.

For a while, she really couldn't imagine that there was any aspect of Facebook Games that required huge investment.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge investment.

Because by the end of the year, the net profit of Facebook Games Continental and North American companies may reach about 30 billion!

Of course, it's the yuan, not the dollar.

This money, no matter where it is placed, can be described as a huge amount of money.

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

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

So, she really didn't know, what else needed to be spent on it.

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

Well, she also has shares in the Facebook game company, and if she pays dividends, she can also get a considerable amount of money herself!

…………

"The game industry has a huge market, and Facebook Games is only where it is 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 Villefort are even the best in the world in their respective fields!" Effie argued.

"No, no, it can only be said that World of Warcraft is the best RPG online game at this stage, and CSOL is the best online FPS game at this stage. But what if there were other companies that made more fun games, and what if there were more types of games? No matter how good a company is, but the energy is limited, it is impossible to make many games at the same time. And a big-budget game, from project approval to launch, takes too long, and the company can't rely on a game to make a profit in a few years. ”

Yu Wenfei patiently explained.

Effie was thoughtful, she nodded slightly, "Mr. Fei, what do you mean...... Do you want to continue to increase the capital of Blizzard and Villefort, expand their teams, and let them make more games?"

"That's pretty much right, but instead of increasing capital in Blizzard and Villefort, it's about acquiring more game companies and excellent game studios!" Yu Wenfei said in a brisk tone.

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

The scale of Facebook games, in Effie's eyes, 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.

Gaming is a very important piece of the puzzle in the entertainment industry, and it is also an extremely vibrant industry.

Look at Sony, they are about to go bankrupt, but for the console and game division, they are still holding on to it.

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.

Looking at the largest Internet companies in later generations, Tencent, needless to say, can be called an online game empire. Waving checks, making global acquisitions, any game company that has signs of explosion appears, and Tencent can be seen immediately.

Amazon, Google, and Ali are all engaged in their own cloud gaming platforms!

Yuwenfei's layout in the Internet industry actually revolves around the chain of "social-pan-entertainment".

"Social" is the entrance to traffic, and the means to retain traffic.

"Pan Entertainment" is the best channel for traffic monetization!

These two are indispensable.

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

And Facebook Entertainment and Facebook Games are the "pan-entertainment" chess pieces he laid out, and in the future, these two companies may not be smaller than Facebook, maybe bigger.

Therefore, Yuwenfei will not allow Effie to "be rich and secure", and the expansion of Facebook Games has just set sail this year!

…………

Hearing Yu Wenfei say that she would continue to acquire game companies or studios, Effie's heart jumped, and she widened her eyes and asked, "Does Fei always have another company that he likes?"

According to Effie's understanding of Yuwenfei, there is basically no cheap company that can make Mr. Fei fancy it......

Maybe this acquisition will cost more than the original acquisition of Blizzard Gavelford in one go.

Is it another earth-shattering merger?

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

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

Don't be limited and consider a game company or studio in any country in the world!

But there is one principle to keep in mind, that is, when determining an acquisition target, don't just look at what they have done before, but also look at the strength and potential of their team!"

Yu Wenfei really wasn't joking, he remembered that there were a lot of excellent game companies.

For example, the Polish stupid donkey who became famous in one fell swoop with the Witcher series.

OF COURSE, THERE'S ALSO GTA5, WHICH SET A SINGLE-PLAYER SALES RECORD, AND THAT'S ROCKSTAR GAMES IN THE UNITED STATES.

There is also the American Fist that created LOL, a popular game that has been prosperous for more than ten years.

There is also an Activision game company with a COD series, in the United States, many players buy PS or XBOX, if they only buy one game, it must be the COD series.

Or, a few small studios made "Minecraft" and sold it to Microsoft's Swiss game company for $2.5 billion.

These companies, of course, are worth buying.

But......

One thing is, how many of these companies were there in 2004?

Yuwenfei can be sure, only Activision is the American company, this must be there.

But whether other companies have been created or not, this Yu Wenfei is not sure, and many of them don't seem to have appeared yet......

So, when Effie asked if he had a company he liked.

Yu Wenfei shook his head and asked Effie and the others to discuss it themselves.

After all, he is not a professional in the game industry, and he doesn't know much about the development of the game industry, but there must be many experts in Facebook Games.

It is obviously much more reliable to let those industry experts discuss acquisition targets than to speculate here.

Even if you buy some game companies that are strong and dry in the middle, resulting in a loss of money, it doesn't matter, Facebook Games has money!

Not to mention, in the next three to five years, relying on the two games of World of Warcraft and CSOL, Facebook Games will definitely be the most profitable game company in the world, and there is no one!

Wait for two years, when the popularity of World of Warcraft is not so high, and then let Blizzard launch the "evergreen tree" of "League of Legends", and you don't have to worry about it in the next ten years.

If you develop a game like League of Legends on the basis of Warcraft, it doesn't take much time.

DOTA, the ancestor of this type of MOBA game, is nothing more than a custom map for the Warcraft game.

Warcraft already has a mature and complete enough hero model, and if you develop League of Legends, you can save a lot of work, and you can basically get it out in a few months.

The reason why it is called "League of Legends" instead of "DOTA" is because Yu Wenfei thinks that the name "League of Legends" is more catchy and easy to spread.

And what exactly "DOTA" means, seriously, even the earliest batch of veteran players, probably not many of them know.

To make a little science, Dota is the abbreviation of Defes, which can be translated as guarding ancient trees, guarding ruins, guarding ancient ruins, etc.

…………

Hearing Mr. Fei say that he would not give advice on this acquisition and let his company discuss it, Effie was excited and nervous.

Excited, of course, is such a huge amount of money, and I will decide how to use it.

This is the taste of power, and it is also the taste of money!

What is nervous, it is better to understand.

With so much money, if you don't spend it properly, you can't afford this cauldron......

However, she is now the CEO of Facebook Games, the top leader of the company's management, and the chairman doesn't want to take care of it, so she naturally can't run away, no matter what, she has to carry this burden.

"Mr. Fei, don't worry, I will definitely organize personnel to discuss this matter seriously. Make money without wasting a penny of the company's money, and spend every money on the cutting edge!" reassured Effie.

"Don't just look at foreign game companies, there are also some excellent studios in China, which can be prioritized. Yu Wenfei reminded again.

Speaking of domestic games, especially stand-alone games, it is definitely a pain in the heart of every gamer.

In the past, domestic stand-alone games have also had brilliant ones, such as "Xuanyuan Sword", "Fairy Sword", "Swordsman Love", "Proud of the Three Kingdoms", etc., which are representative works of domestic games.

But the good times did not last long, with the entry of capital eager for quick success and quick profits, as well as the rampant piracy in China, the domestic game industry has been hit several times in a row, and it has been in a slump ever since.

After more than ten years, the market is full of all kinds of garbage skin-changing mobile games, shoddy page games, and if you want to play stand-alone games, you basically don't even think about it!

This kind of thing, how to say it, players should not complain that domestic game manufacturers are not angry.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

If those players at the beginning can be a little bit of copyright awareness, support genuine domestic games, and buy a few pirated domestic game discs.

Then, the domestic game industry will not fall into the same situation as it did later.

Just like a game industry boss said, China is full of garbage players, so it is only worth playing garbage games!

Piercing no?

But it's true......

However, the emergence of Yu Wenfei has changed the game industry, how can he allow the domestic game industry to continue to "degenerate".

Therefore, it is imperative to acquire and integrate major game companies after the financial problem is solved.
