295. New acquisition ideas
"But Xiaoyuan, I don't understand, why do you want to exchange Blizzard shares with me? Your distant game has now gained a foothold, and the future development is not necessarily worse than Blizzard, relying on our mainland market, the development of distant games may be greater, why do you want to exchange with me?
After many days, Brother Xiao Li finally asked the question in his heart.
"I don't think so. ”
Zhou Fangyuan smiled and shook his head, "Brother Li, whether you lose or not, it's not something that money can measure, in the final analysis, it depends on your heart, when you think something is worth it, even if you spend more money, it's worth it." I think even if I don't say this, Brother Li, you understand. Blizzard may not be the best company in my eyes, and the games it makes are not the greatest, but I love the company's games, and I also like the idea that they've been working on developing good games. So I've always wanted to buy this company, Brother Li, I'm saying this sentence here now, if one day you still want to sell your Blizzard shares, you must find me first, even if the offer is higher than others, I will never give this company to others. ”
At the end, Zhou Fangyuan's expression had become very serious, and his voice was also very serious.
Brother Xiao Li seemed to feel Zhou Fangyuan's attitude, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, "Okay, if I really want to sell Blizzard's shares one day, Xiao Yuan is your first choice." ”
"Then I'll be here to thank Brother Li in advance. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
"Don't thank me, it's a mutually beneficial thing. Xiaoyuan, when do you come to Hong Kong Island, let's sign the share change agreement. ”
Brother Xiao Li said suddenly.
Zhou Fangyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he thought for a moment, "Brother Li, I want to go too, but I may not have time recently, but it doesn't matter, I should go to Hong Kong Island at the end of this month at the latest, and I will bring all the documents with me at that time." In addition, Brother Li, you often go to Taipei, help me inquire about a game company. ”
This time it was Brother Li's turn to be in a daze, "Game company, do you still want to buy it?"
"Almost, there are still too few people in the development department of distant games, the team poached from Wangyi, at present, a "big talk" has made them completely unable to spare energy, before I asked the third brother to invite back the team from Treasure Island, after the current development of "Plant", they also have to shoulder the maintenance and follow-up version development work, I have a lot of ideas in my head, and it takes a lot of talents to realize these ideas, I recently took a fancy to a game company on Treasure Island, and I want to buy it, Brother Li, you help me ask. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said.
"Of course it's okay to ask, but Xiaoyuan, what is the name of this game company you are optimistic about? It's better to be the kind of company that is more laborious to support the operation by yourself, otherwise if you change to a well-run company, I'm afraid people won't sell the company to you easily." ”
Brother Xiao Li persuaded.
"Of course I understand, but this game company is currently operating quite well, it's called Yuquan Company, Brother Li, you remember to help me investigate, it's best to find out what the other party thinks, and it's best to get a direct offer." Now that the company has money, it doesn't matter if you spend more, I just want to buy this company directly. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
Yuquan Company is the Treasure Island Game Company that produced "Meteor" in the previous life.
This game company was established as early as 1989, since the date of its establishment, the company has established "oriental themes, Hollywood expressions" as the quality positioning of game products, and after several efforts, "Yuquan" has become synonymous with "Hollywood-style oriental games".
In 1995, Yuquan's new work "Taklamakan Dunhuang Legend" won the Baodao 84 Outstanding Information Innovation Application Award as soon as it was released. Since then, under the cooperation with famous masters, Yuquan Company has successively launched works such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Condor Heroes", "Fengyun 27 Weapons", "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and other works, creating sales miracles repeatedly.
And in 02, they will launch "Meteor", a pure oriental-style LAN battle game that detonated the game market at that time as soon as it was launched. At that time, in the game market, stand-alone games were basically the world of foreign games, and those familiar names will not be mentioned here. But "Meteor" can fight its way out of the encirclement from the encirclement of those classic foreign games, and its quality is needless to say.
But it's a pity,This game finally had problems because of the company's operation,That's still 04 years,It can be said that it has gone to the extreme in stand-alone games "Meteor", first in the United States to sell Waterloo, the development of the online version also failed to succeed, and finally all the game copyrights were sold to Yihua International, as a result, after Yihua International took over, it was not able to carry out more in-depth development of "Meteor", and in vain gave up such a game that could really become a god.
At the time, it was the first game to be able to fly through walls. In that era when flying was still relying on 2D, "Meteor" took the lead in achieving the feat of "flying", which could be regarded as extremely excellent on a global scale at that time.
Of course, Zhou Fangyuan would not let go of such a large piece of fat in vain in this life, and he couldn't wait for Yuquan Game Company to launch "Meteor", so he decided to start now. Although Yuquan Game is very famous, it has also made a lot of fine products. But after all, it is still a small company, and due to the small market of Treasure Island, the company's profits are not as good as imagined.
This gives Zhou Fangyuan the opportunity, and what he can now offer is more salary, as well as a broader market. If they are willing to come to the mainland, the market of the entire continent will be open to them, and the market of the mainland is certainly not comparable to that of Baodao, and the two sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all.
Of course, it is also possible that the boss of Yuquan International is not willing to accept Zhou Fangyuan's merger and acquisition, so it doesn't matter, the merger and acquisition will not succeed and directly poach people. Dig up the entire Yuquan game directly, dig up all the developers, and set up a "Yuquan" in the mainland. Of course, this trick is a bit cruel, which is equivalent to directly cutting off other people's financial routes, and Zhou Fangyuan is unwilling to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
So he asked Brother Xiao Li to help contact him first, and it was best if the other party was willing to accept the merger and acquisition, it was nothing more than spending more money, such a small company, no matter how much it spent, it wouldn't cost much. On the contrary, Zhou Fangyuan will never be soft.
After discussing this matter with Brother Xiao Li, Zhou Fangyuan hung up the phone.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, he was painting in the studio when Mr. Ji suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
"You guys come out for a while, I have something to say. ”
There are still four of them in the room, Lin Yueya has been interacting with him more and more in the studio recently, Duan Xiao and they should also see some clues. However, they did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, which made Zhou Fangyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he forgot that he was relieved on Duan Xiao and Li Yuechao's side, and on the other side, he immediately became nervous.
As Teacher Ji came to the outside world, Zhou Fangyuan just wanted to ask Teacher Ji what was the matter, and then, a man's company appeared in front of him.
This is a face with glasses, not handsome, and the skin is as white as paper, which is very unhealthy at first glance. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Zhou Fangyuan knows him, Sun Guangyuan, who appeared in Mr. Ji's studio in his last life, and called Zhou Fangyuan their watercolor. And he also blatantly chased Lin Yueya in the studio, and some people said that the two had gone out to open a room, but Zhou Fangyuan didn't know what the situation was.
In his previous life, he didn't care too much about this matter, because he had nothing to do with Lin Yueya, at most he had a little fantasy in his head.
And in this life, he can't stand this kind of thing. But now, this Sun Guangyuan is standing next to Lin Yueya, instructing her to paint, and Lin Yueya seems to be very humble to accept, and the two of them are smiling, which makes Zhou Fangyuan frown slightly.
But he didn't say anything, and he didn't step forward and drag Sun Guangyuan away directly, that would be too bad, he just stood by the side, looking at this scene with a smile, his heart was already spinning, he felt that he needed to give this Sun Guangyuan a "lesson".
