Chapter 609: Arrival in the UK, Royal Dinner

"OK, for this part of the opinion, we will try our best to take care of all players when the game is developed. Jerry Sanders said solemnly, "At the same time, the acquisition of game studios also gives chess more freedom to operate. ”

"That's right! Professional game studios can ask them for the long term. Lin Qi said, "If a game loses money, it is not necessary to cut the studio and subsequent works. It is also to reflect on the gains and losses, and further improve the work. ”

It's a pity to be like the Command & Conquer series, you know, real-time strategy games, the afterlife is not dead at all. Instead, it has been revived with esports, but Blizzard's games once dominated the real-time strategy genre of esports.

Even in the later era of online games and mobile games, some blockbuster games are, in fact, variations of the real-time strategy battle mode. For example, "LOL", "Honor of Kings" and the like, although not real-time strategy. However, the battle element is the essence of real-time strategy, and if Nishiki is not chopped down, it will make the game a little easier. For example, if it becomes a player camp to operate a single hero to fight, isn't that a super blockbuster game like "LOL" and "Honor of Kings"?

In other words, as long as the loss-making single-player game in the single-player era has a large player base and fans, there is no worry about not being able to earn it back in the future. If the stand-alone machine loses, it will be regarded as a run out, still, casually develop some online game versions, and even the principal will be earned back with profits.

Look at Blizzard, it was a small studio at the beginning, and Blizzard's production must be a high-quality product, but at the beginning, the scale was too small and the production capacity was limited, but it was blown up by players. Later, many of Blizzard's best-selling games in the single-player era took the opportunity to develop online game versions. Gradually, Blizzard was able to compare with established giants like EA in the scale of the game market in the era of online games.

As for why Lin Qi didn't buy Blizzard and chose EA, because Blizzard's model is very uncertain, and it is possible to lose the bet or make a lot of money.

The development path of EA is to continue to buy other up-and-coming small and medium-sized game studios, which is in line with Lin Qi's layout.

He needs a lot of game IP reserves!

After the era of online games, the value of those top IPs in the stand-alone era must be re-evaluated! Most of them have increased in value, not depreciated.

The two parted after discussing some issues.

After that, the $500 million capital injection was taken over by William Zhang's North American branch team.

However, this investment is quiet, and EA and New Venture Electronics Group are very low-key.

After all, Lin Qi has entered two high-profile investments in the United States, such as Columbia Pictures, and the other is an investment in AMD.

If we want to buy and buy and show off now, it will arouse the disgust of American public opinion.

For example, the reason why the American populists are now disgusted with Japan is mainly because of the buy-buy-buy-buy model of the Japanese consortium. As a result, the Americans mistakenly believe that Japan is controlling the United States. In fact, it is completely the other way around, and the top political and economic situation in the United States is even more brazen in manipulating Japan. How much does Japan invest in American industries? And the real estate of a bunch of high-value big cities in Japan, Nima's, became an asset of the United States when the US military entered Japan. What's more, a bunch of Japanese consortia have American consortia behind them.

……

The end of the affairs in the United States. On June 6, Lin Qi left the United States and went to the United Kingdom for a short two-day trip.

Although Lin Qi did not plan to contact the British government or the royal family, the British royal family sent a letter saying that the Queen of England invited Lin Qi to dinner.

Xiao was very excited, because as two people who only went to the UK, he was also invited, and for this young man who had not graduated for a long time, such an opportunity was extremely rare.

"The ancestral grave of our old Yu family is smoking, I didn't expect me to have such an opportunity. Less than excited fidgeting, his mouth was chattering, "I don't know, what to eat at the royal dinner, dragon liver and phoenix marrow?"

Although, now it is the era of capitalism, capital is king. The British royal family is only a feudal remnant, with a certain amount of capital and political influence, but it is no longer the era of the British Empire.

After World War II, Britain's international influence has been declining and declining, and once the British Empire was, in fact, only a second-rate country in power.

Regardless of economic, political or military strength, the current Britain is not too strong.

But this is only relative, compared with the United States, the current vote of European countries are not considered big powers, but if compared with the African vote of countries, European countries can still form a team to show off their might.

Lin Qi looked at Xiao Xiao and thought it was funny, but he could also understand that when he was a small character, he was almost the same as Xiao Xiao, but the difference in the personalities of the two was better than Xiao Xiao.

Now for the British Lafayette, Lin Qi's perception is similar to Cixi. The two are indeed too similar, they have always held power and can survive the heir.

As a longevity champion, Britain's Galeries Lafayette is alive with hope and has never handed over the throne to the crown prince.

Therefore, later the jokes on the Internet continued to be refreshed, how can there be a 50-year-old prince in the world, how can there be a 60-year-old prince in the world, and how can there be a 70-year-old prince in the world......

For Britain to fall from hegemony to an ordinary country, this Lafayette has always been alive and well, as a world-famous longevity champion player.

Many people think that the probability of Galeries Lafayette in England dying his children and grandchildren is greater than the probability that the crown prince can inherit the throne during his lifetime.

"Although Britain is a developed country, but what they eat is simply living in hell, lunch is basically solved by sandwiches, because only dinner is more popular, but compared to the eight major cuisines in China, there is nothing to say, if they are mainly fish and chips. Lin Qi smiled and said, "So, don't look forward to the dinner too much, have a good meal, and go to a restaurant when you go back to China, it's better than the UK." The dinner is mainly for social needs, and for a capitalist like me, the British royal family makes an appointment just to get to know each other, and maybe, this little network can come in handy in the future. ”

The British royal family is one of the oldest surviving royal families, and although it still has good assets in the United Kingdom. At the same time, the problem left over from history, British taxpayers, still have to support the royal family. A considerable part of the fiefdom assets handed over to the government by the British royal family hundreds of years ago still have to pay benefits to the royal family, and no matter how profitable or negative the government is operating this part of the assets, the British royal family's share of the money is indispensable.

In essence, the British royal family is a burden to the British. However, for historical reasons, as well as spiritual needs, the needs of etiquette and culture. Therefore, the British still need to have this royal family, because, hundreds of years of operation, the British royal family, regardless of assets, or political connections, compared with other monarchies on the earth, has a certain advantage.

Therefore, although Lin Qi has an average sense of this old lady, his mind is full of Lafayette's jokes on the Internet. However, I still made some preparations for the meeting.

On the evening of May 9, when the sun was setting, Lin Qihe was warmly welcomed by the royal family, and the dinner was quite rich, at least on a British level.

After dividing the priorities and still taking their seats, in addition to the Queen of England, several other ministers were accompanied.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be so young and establish such a big empire in Hong Kong under the rule of the British Empire. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have to correct that Hong Kong has always been Chinese since ancient times. Britain only leased Chinese land and never had sovereignty. In 97, Hong Kong officially returned to the motherland, so the success of Hong Kong's entrepreneurship has nothing to do with British governance. In addition, in addition to our headquarters in Hong Kong, 98% of our subsidiaries and employees are in China! The Hong Kong headquarters has 10,000 people, plus the headquarters of other subsidiaries, no more than 30,000 people, and I don't know how many employees there are in subsidiaries and affiliated companies in Chinese mainland, but there should be more than 1 million people. In addition, the supporting industrial chain, several times the scale of the employees we directly employ, about 8 million hard-working Chinese workers, has created the miracle of our new entrepreneurial business empire. Others have always thought that I am very capable and smart, but in fact, it is because of the dedication and low salary of Chinese employees that they contribute more than ten times the value of their salary, and I exploit this part of the value, so that we can sell cheap and high-quality high-tech products like the world!"

For a moment, the faces of the British nobles present froze......

Mr. Lin is also too upright, and on the occasion of the private banquet of the British royal family, he actually rushed so directly.

Fortunately, Galeries Lafayette in Britain is also a good person, and he knows that Hong Kong's return to the motherland is the trend of the times, and secretly, Britain or Hong Kong has caused some problems, and in addition, it will use those who create problems in Hong Kong as a bargaining chip to seek benefits from hegemonic countries such as the United States.

However, on the bright side, Britain knows that the overall situation in 97 has been decided, and there is no need to make extraneous branches on the bright side.

"We respect the sovereignty of the Chinese over Hong Kong after '97. Of course, I believe that with a business giant like Mr. Lam in Hong Kong, it will be able to develop even better. The Queen of England smiled, which was kind of a lightening mood.
