The involvement of the richest man in France is not unusual, Vivendi is a good investor, but the assets are not abundant, the more famous Blizzard market value of about 12 billion US dollars and Universal Music market value of about 5 billion US dollars, although Vivendi and Disney, Time Warner and other entertainment tycoons are among the world's eight major media multinational groups, business scope includes music, television, film, publishing, telecommunications, Internet and games, etc. But even if Zhou Shi only counts Yahoo, he surpasses Vivendi. Time Holdings' fame is much greater than in previous years, but its capital and wealth are not far behind Vivendi.

As mentioned earlier, Vivendi is in a debt crisis, although it is said that it did not succeed in acquiring EMI Music, so that the debt crisis of Universal has been alleviated, but the debt of tens of billions of dollars is not a project that can be ignored. The richest man in France this time is not so much to help them, but to help Vivendi and help Ubisoft. However, if he can enter the French market for time, even if the price is a little higher, he can accept it.

"So, Vivendi doesn't actually want to compete with us?" Zhou Shi

"Yes, Bernard Arnott's family fund still wants to take a stake in Ubisoft, so I guess it doesn't want to contradict us!"

"Do you think we should agree to Bernard's share?"

"It might be a better choice to let him join!" Wei He

"Why?" Zhou Shi

"Our acquisition of Ubisoft is only the first step into the European market, its market value of more than one billion euros is just right, too low to have no influence, too high for our strength to acquire, and there will be a lot of unexpected troubles, maybe it will be delayed for a long time. Let Bernard join, take advantage of his status, we don't say unhindered in France, at least he will be treated more fairly. "Wei He

"Do you think he is inviting the king into the urn, letting us invest a lot, and then taking advantage of the administrative advantage to plunder our assets in France at a low price?" Zhou Shi did not hesitate to speculate with the most vicious mind about the capitalists in Europe and the United States.

"It shouldn't be, Mr. Zhou joined the Trilateral Commission in the United States, plus the resources you have, he is also a top figure in this circle, he is just a seller of luxury goods, there is actually a certain gap in the strength and influence of the two sides, and this gap will get bigger and bigger, even if we lose one or two billion euros, it will not hurt our bones, but at that time, even if our strength does not grow, he will not be better. "Wei He

"The key is restraint, do we have the ability to restrain him?" Zhou Shi, if he wants to kill Bernard through time, then he is too useless, Zhou Shi has and controls several times more resources (excluding Zhengzhi) than Bernard, but unfortunately, except for the Internet and social networks, there is no longer a way to deter Bernard, interlaced like a mountain, not just talking.

"Although it is difficult to directly threaten him, in a capitalist society, money is the foundation of everything, and our foundation is very solid! Of course, in any case, cooperation is still necessary, but it is more cautious. "Wei He

"Then so be it!" Zhou Shi is not a person who wastes food because of choking, and he will not be scared to do anything because of the risk.

Inform Chen Yifan to continue negotiations, they are ready to split up Ubisoft's subsidiary Gameloft, for Time Games, this company focusing on mobile games is a bit of a chicken rib, no matter how strong it is, it is not half as powerful as Time Games. Of course, this is also some compromise of their cooperation. So this historic Gameloft became a victim, and the evil face of the capitalist is always the most real!

The European Union must come, and Zhou Shi is very clear about this, not only because the mobile phone of the Time Android system is the best-selling in Europe, but also because there are not many places in the world that can accommodate him. Just like Li Bancheng fled to Europe and bought England, he also needs a foothold here. Britain, France, Germany, and even the Netherlands have all considered, and the acquisition on the French side is just an attempt, an attempt to gain an in-depth understanding of the social and corporate workings of the European Union, after all, he has acquisitions (football clubs) in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The world of the future is a multipolar world, and although Europe is inevitably declining in his eyes, there are a large number of high-quality talents here, and their social system and welfare benefits may be problems that the whole world will face in the future. The development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics has a great potential to cause a wave of unemployment on a global scale, and Europeans have a lot of experience in how to deal with such a crisis. And because of their benefits, many people here are idle and panicked, and they may think more deeply about the future than people in other places. Zhou Shi's social enterprise needs the talents here, and the people here also need the people here to cheer for his career.

In recent years, due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, nationalism, isolationism, trade protectionism, and anti-globalization have prevailed. And an outlier like Zhou Shi is precisely the person hated by American nationalists. First of all, Zhou Shi is a Chinese, and he has repeatedly said in public that he does not plan to change his nationality, and because Zhou Shi rarely does charity, this has made him more criticized in American social networks. There are some people who say that he makes money in the United States but does not contribute to the United States, is a typical vampire, etc......

It seems right to think about it, most of Zhou Shi's wealth appreciation comes from overseas, such as YouTube, such as yelp. Youtube, in particular, invested millions of dollars, and then increased in value to more than $10 billion now (in fact, ignoring some changes in the middle, but it can barely be said that his source of funding is the subprime mortgage crisis).

Although Zhou Shi has a plan in the future and can reverse the current public opinion, he doesn't want to put his fate in the hands of others.

"Mr. Zhou, this time the negotiations went well, Vivendi did not raise the offer again, and contacted us, hoping to obtain Gameloft, a subsidiary of Ubisoft, after the acquisition is completed, I mean I can agree, but I am afraid that the original management will oppose it. "Chen Yifan

"This is your problem, how can you convince them, do you want me to take action?" Zhou Shi blocked Chen Yifan with a word, not giving him a chance to complain and show his merits.

"In addition, if the conditions are right, the matter of the richest family fund in France can be considered, and having an extra friend is good for our development in France. Zhou Shi added

When Chen Yifan heard this, he was shocked, and instantly sobered up, knowing that the acquisition of Ubisoft was negotiated by Zhou Shi behind the scenes, and then he was entrusted to be responsible for the finish.

This is Chen Yifan's heart, a cultural and creative enterprise like a game company, talent is the most important asset, without a suitable leader, a group of code farmers will not be able to make excellent products. The negotiation with the Ubisoft founder team is indispensable for professionals in the field of time advantage, how to appease them to work hard, these need Chen Yifan to worry about, and his role is far greater than imagined......
