Chapter 129: Annexation of Blizzard Entertainment

After Blizzard's management recognized Zhang Yi, the acquisition under it entered the fast lane.

The Blizzard assets reviewed by the accounting firm are clear, and there are no other entanglements.

Most importantly, Adhan, the founder who has been at the helm of Blizzard, recognizes the outstanding software strength of Microhardware. What's more, it has experience in the online game industry that Blizzard has always wanted to get involved in, but has not been able to get involved in.

Of course, Zhang Yi, the young boss, also clearly recognizes Blizzard's development concept and will not interfere too much with Blizzard's independent development rights of games.

Intellectually speaking, Blizzard's concept of slow-moving, high-quality games has a great conflict with the current investment philosophy, and no boss wants to see that he has invested a lot of real money, but he has seen that Blizzard has repeatedly bounced tickets, affecting the income of his money bag.

But in fact, although Blizzard is relatively slow, but it has achieved remarkable results, each game, constantly updated, constantly released new expansions, in the minds of players to consolidate the "Blizzard, must be a high-quality product" good reputation at the same time, but also help investors make a lot of money.

The speed of a company does not depend on the size of the pace, but on the concept and direction.

Blizzard is the type of company that moves slowly, but is precise in direction.

With the assistance of an accounting firm and a professional lawyer, the acquisition went very smoothly.

Even Adhan took the initiative to give up part of his shares, thus assisting Zhang Yi to obtain an absolute controlling stake in Blizzard.

On November 11, 1999, all Blizzard employees who received the notice gave up their vacations and all personal affairs, and gathered in the company's large conference room at 10 o'clock in the morning, talking and asking each other what was going on with the company and why it held a plenary meeting.

At this time, Adhan walked up to a high position in the conference room, holding a wireless microphone, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"As the founder of Blizzard, I treat Blizzard as my own child, and I'm very proud to watch it grow from a toddler to where it is today. Of course, some of you have started a business with me, and some have joined the company later, and you have made outstanding contributions to the development of the company. Here, I thank you!"

After saying this, he lowered his head and bowed deeply, and after a long time, he slowly straightened up.

"Today, we are convening a plenary meeting, I think, some of you may have guessed. That is, our Blizzard company was acquired by the Celestial Empire's micro-hardware software company. That is, starting today, Blizzard is about to enter a new era. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with reluctance, but soon, he regained his clarity.

"Next, I would like to invite our new boss, Mr. Zhang Yi, the president of Tianchao Micro Hard Company, to speak for you. ”

Zhang Yi in the audience walked calmly onto the podium, bowed slightly to Adhan, and took the microphone he handed over.

"My name is Zhang Yi, I am from the Celestial Empire, and the introduction of the business engaged in by the company under my name will be sent to you immediately. ”

Hearing this, the Blizzard employees in the audience buzzed and burst into a loud voice.

There are many Asian-American employees in the company, but the young man on the stage, who is only in his 20s, can have such a great strength to buy Blizzard.

At this time, the staff in the audience, like wearing flowers, handed out an introduction document to everyone.

"I personally love Blizzard's games and appreciate Blizzard's philosophy of making great games. Therefore, I can get Mr. Adhan's approval to join Blizzard, and I have the opportunity to work with everyone to make better games that players will enjoy more. ”

"Now, I'm going to make some changes, so please listen carefully. ”

Adehan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhang Yi would make some decisions at this time, and he didn't know if this decision would affect the development of the company.

His face couldn't help but become a little nervous, after all, now that the other party was completely in absolute control, even if he demolished the Blizzard, he would not be able to resist.

As if noticing Adhan's expression, Zhang Yi smiled at him and signaled him not to worry.

"Everyone's salary!" he paused, and everyone immediately became nervous. Now that the economic situation is not good, the new boss will not take a salary cut! Everyone's hearts are a little uneasy.

"Everyone's salaries have doubled!"

"Ahh

Adehan coughed in shock, almost didn't get out of his breath, this little boss is simply too capable of tossing people, his old bones, he really can't stand the fuss.

When everyone's cheers gradually subsided, Zhang Yi pointed to the three-story building adjacent to the left side of the company and said: "This building has been rented by me, and the first and second floors will be transformed into the company's catering, entertainment and fitness centers in the future." And the third floor?"

He smiled mysteriously, and then said: "The third floor will be used as a kindergarten for the company's employees, and everyone can rest assured that they will put their children in the kindergarten during working hours, and the infant experts specially hired by the company will help take care of our babies and eliminate everyone's worries." ”

I wanted to continue, but was interrupted by crazy applause, and some lively employees even rushed to the high platform and lifted Zhang Yi, who was quite heavy, together, like a lion king, walking around, as if inspecting his territory.

You know, in a country like Sam's Country, the parents at home have their own lives, and they generally don't help their children take care of their children. And when both husband and wife have jobs, taking care of the children becomes the most troublesome problem.

In Sam's country, where there is no family planning, it is common to have children before marriage, and these single fathers or single mothers take care of their young children, which is an unusually financial and energy-consuming thing.

And this new, young boss, who just took control of Blizzard, doubled his salary, and moreover, let everyone have no trouble with trivial family matters, he was simply sent by God to save them.

Zhang Yi pressed down with his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and when he saw his gesture, the meeting was instantly silent. It can be seen that for the first time, he has been recognized by everyone in the hearts of Blizzard employees and has established his prestige.

He smiled and pointed to the building on the right, and said: "This building will be transformed into the company's game testing center, in addition to Sam's Country, continue to recruit a large number of game testers, game testers from Asian stick countries and Huaxia, will also settle in this building, join the game test center, and speed up our game development progress." ”
