Chapter 348: Acquisition of 3DO

75 Chapter 348 Acquisition of 3DO

Dagger X is looking forward to buying "Mu Xu Yi", which is a small studio in the United Kingdom, and Microsoft also hopes to buy Bibei Yitianbi.

"A few called by the secret company to see the price is 10,000 dollars. Tripp Hawkins said unabashedly.

Lin Feng's brows jumped slightly, and he was secretly surprised, each company started quickly, fortunately, he was not slow, otherwise what was waiting for him at that time would be an empty shell. But I don't know what Tripp Hawkins meant by this.

"Mr. Lin won't tell you the truth, I'm ready to end 3 concave and file for bankruptcy with the court, so I will definitely sell the copyright of these games. Therefore. If Mr. Lin really wants to, I hope you can buy them all and open them well.

Tripp Hawkins said sincerely.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and if he bought them all, he would persuade about 10,000 dollars at most, and the "second shijie" was not short of this money, but the point was whether these things were worth buying. You can't have a lot of money.

In Lin Feng's memory, it seems that the most famous is this "Might and Magic" and "Heroes and Invincible" series, and Lin Feng is the copyright of these two series.

"Mr. Lin, please allow me to introduce these games to you and analyze them for you. Tripp Hawkins is also an old man, and when he saw Lin Feng's face, he knew that Lin Feng didn't want to be wronged, and smiled slightly. Pull out a set of related game brochures. He was confident to convince Lin Feng because these games were really great.

"Mr. Lin, "Heroes of Invincible" and "Might and Magic" series, I don't think I need to introduce them. I'll start by introducing Namco's eyesight, which is now in the development stage by a studio in the UK. It's a street racing game, powered by a brand new racing engine that we've developed, with gorgeous racing lights and on-track effects. However, Shang Ju is complete, and if he continues to invest, it is a game that can be expected. Tripp Hawkins explained.

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this. Nowadays, domestic online games are mainly concentrated in role-playing or turn-based online games, casual online games, in addition to their own "Audition", there are only some small casual games of Tencent, and there are no other online games, racing games, but it is indeed a supplement. However, this is a single-player game, and it must be turned into an online game, just like the "Once" online game "Run and Run Cards".

"One to the North, One to the Best" is a baseball game developed by our company, which uses the original sports engine to have a unique effect on the movement and movement of the characters. Tripp Hawkins said.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up after hearing this. Today, his company's "Furious Football" is criticized by players because of the lack of excellent game sports engines, which leads to the lack of smooth game graphics. It's an excellent addition.

"Few" is a more alternative strategic shooter game, which is based on the control of green toy soldiers. Players can play against Tripp Hawkins via LAN panting. There was a lot of hope for this game, but unfortunately the results were disappointing.

At first, Lin Feng hadn't reacted yet, and when he took the brochure handed over by Tripp Hawkins, he stopped on the spot. Isn't this the same game as "Toy Soldier Wars" that "used to" often play against people online?

Toy Soldier Wars is a strategy game featuring plastic toy soldiers. The player controls a variable number of plastic green toy soldiers and fights with the computer or the player. The game has a wide variety of weapons, including bazookas, grenades, flamethrowers, cannons, mines, time bombs, and magnifying glasses that melt enemies.

The game scene is also extremely humming, and it takes place in everyone's home. Bathrooms, kitchens, and dining tables can also be used to deal with enemies with various scene props, such as microwave ovens, electric fans, and the like.

It is a casual and fun strategy game. The whole game is full of fun, the combat is tense and the harmony is not lost, and it is really fun to watch the toy soldiers who used to play as a child fight fierce battles with enemies under their own control.

Look at the introduction, now 3O has launched the fifth generation of "Shijie Wars". However, due to the rise of "Age of Empires" and "StarCraft", strategy games such as "Age of Empires" and "StarCraft" have taken a hit, and it is understandable that they have not sold well.

However, it is extremely beneficial to Lin Feng. You can change it to "Toy Soldiers" and turn it into a relaxed and casual entertainment online game. Although role-playing online games are the mainstream among online games, players' tastes are varied, and different types of online games are needed to attract and stimulate players. And it doesn't require too much server load and budget. 3What should Microsoft do now?

Yan Ran: Microsoft doesn't have much intention of the boron-3 player market, but now that Lin Feng has joined forces with Jobs, how can Microsoft continue to promote its "audio format"?

Bill Gates must implement the audio format, and if this thing goes wrong, don't look at yourself as a long-time friend, just as ruthless as he was. Steve Ballmer rubbed his temples with a headache.

But Microsoft really invested heavily in the Walkman market, and Steve Ballmer felt that it was not criminal.

At present, Microsoft's strategic focus is not only the inherent operating system and office software such as Roar Ratio, but the most important plan is to let the game console squeeze into the home game console market, no matter how much money it loses. Now Microsoft doesn't have the energy to get involved in this negligible market.

In frustration, Steve Ballmer could only sigh secretly and ordered someone to contact Lin Feng. Steve Gunmer didn't know how much profit he thought the insignificant market would bring to Lin Feng and Jobs in the future.

Lin Feng ignored Microsoft's bowing. At this time, and now that they have joined forces with "Apple", they do not interfere with each other's products, and Microsoft's "audio format" is still important. But it's not as critical as it used to be.

Want to negotiate? Come to my company and we'll talk slowly.

Lin Feng handed over the matter to Tan Zhi, and he began to contact Tripp Hawkins, the largest game software empire on Shijie, Electronic Arts. The founder. Talking about the acquisition of his subsidiary, Chi O, who opened the "Heroes of Might and Blood" series, said that Tripp Hawkins first thought of the founder of the current computer game industry, the number one giant in the world of electronic arts. I made a concave this shijie diren game empire. It was the best years of Tripp Hawkins' life.

Another brilliance of Tripp Hawkins is the mention of relaxation, and most people's first impression is the Heroes of Might and Magic series. However, at first, Concave O was only a company that produced gaming hardware, Tripp Hawkins, and Japan's Panasonic Corporation jointly opened Shijie's first ugly game console, Chi O, but unfortunately due to the lack of software support, coupled with the high price and rival Sega Saturn, "and Sony Blink Blow." In a hurry, production was soon discontinued and all hardware divisions were sold.

Then Tripp shrugged kins to buy the company's heart, that is, the company that opened the "Might and Magic" series and launched the "Heroes of Might and Magic" series that was loved by thousands of players.

However, the good times did not last long after the acquisition of the company. Although Chi O has launched classics such as "Heroes of Might and Magic 3: The Liberation of Egilia", it has created countless brilliance and has become the most haode game software company after Ao. But now, due to the lack of follow-up product support, the company's annual revenue last year was x plus 10,000 US dollars, and the net loss was 300000000 US dollars. Although several games have been launched. But the result is that the game sells more and more at a loss. Now the stock price on the NASDAQ has fallen to the dollar.

A game company that once performed miracles now has a stock price of only $8 and a market value of only $10,000, which is really breathtaking. Originally, Lin Feng wanted to acquire Chi O at first, but when he saw that his account was close to attracting a debt of two dollars, Lin Feng retreated and sought to acquire the copyright of his game instead.

When Lin Feng rushed to the headquarters of the blade company, there was a depression. Compared with the Microsoft headquarters a few days ago, the difference is very fast, and the change is sad.

Tripp Hawkins, the former giant, warmly received Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, you may not know that I used to be too." staff. Tripp Hawkins poured Lin Feng a cup of coffee.

Lin Feng was slightly surprised.

"Hehe, don't worry, that's just my first job after graduating from college, and now I'm working with Apple." There is no need to be nervous. Tripp Hawkins laughs.

Lin Feng smiled. It doesn't matter even now. He has formed a strategic alliance with "Apple", and Jobs has no interest in games.

"Mr. Lin, I already know what you mean. Chi o was founded by me, but now I can't bear the pain, and it's really distressing to sell it. So I want to find the most haode buyer for Blade O. Tripp Hawkins said sentimentally.

Lin Feng nodded. It was also a gasp. This is probably the greatest sorrow for all computer game people. Creating a brand with your own hands and not selling it in the end.

"Mr. Lin, I'll just say it directly. Now, Ubisoft is also hoping to buy the rights to Chi O's "Heroes and Might and Magic" series for X million dollars, and the Namco family is Kita-oh a hiss
