Chapter 558 Hind Hand
Chapter 558 Hind Hand
In fact, many people have guessed the fourth stage of the competition, which is the competition between countries! Commonly known as the national team, the Star Cup will not set a threshold, that is to say, as long as your country is willing, you can lead the team to join, but the difference is that the only requirement of the national team is that the sports part of each country is officially recognized and reported as the national team.
What is incompatible is that there is no prize money in the competition between the national teams, only the symbolic gold, silver and bronze medals with the international flow, but this is not the most crazy, the most crazy is the latter one, the Star Group will spend money to negotiate with the Republic of Maldives, intending to buy a large number of uninhabited islands in the Maldives, and will build them into a park belonging to the field of e-sports, the island will set up a square with zero ding, after the end of the annual e-sports competition, the Star Group will send people to build a permanent crystal tower, It will be carved with each person and each country that has left a mark on the road of esports.
Although this thing is a bit of a gimmick, but anyway, people are willing to spend this money to earn this gimmick, and many people eat this set, what can you do? With the announcement of the Star Group, the Star Group immediately announced that the Star Cup will be in the preparation stage for about half a year, and it will officially start on January 1 next year.
At the same time, a large number of requirements for the establishment of the club and the registration of members were also announced in the details behind the announcement, which did not match the simple announcement a few days ago, which was quite long, because it also contained all the detailed rules of the entire Star Cup.
For this reason, Star Group has set up an official website for the Star Cup, which will publish all the rules in this regard, as well as the list of applications, etc. After releasing this announcement, Zhang Yang knew that he was probably going to start getting busy soon, because the manpower required for the entire Starry Sky Cup was definitely not a small number.
After letting the little fat man finish the announcement, Zhang Yang went home. He needed to talk to Bai Su, but Zhang Yang didn't have time to take special measures for this matter, if Bai Su was willing, it would be the best.
It's just that to Zhang Yang's surprise, when he returned home, Bai Su was not there, and Li Shufang said that she went out. Until he had lunch at home and was about to take a nap, Zhang Yang's mobile phone rang, Zhang Yang picked up Hotline and looked at it, the caller was actually not Bai Su, but a person who had not been contacted for a long time, the boss of ninety percent. Zhang Yang picked up Hotline with some curiosity, and Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is good, I'm here to find Mr. Zhang, you came through the back door." ”
Zhang Yang also smiled, this Zhu Jun was interesting, but Zhang Yang asked a little strangely: "Mr. Zhu, what kind of back door are you going to take with me?" It seems that there is no place for our two companies to cooperate. ”
"Of course, how about our World of Warcraft joining one of the competing events of the Star Cup?" Zhu Jun asked quickly. Warcraft? Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, can this thing be added to the e-sports project? Warcraft is okay, but that has to be discussed with Blizzard, besides, even if it's the game World of Warcraft, the right to use the world scale is in Blizzard's hands, right?
But what can I say about the game World of Warcraft in the hands of ninety percent...... The speed of game updates in China can't keep up with foreign countries! How is this competitive? "There are some online games that you can join, but World of Warcraft is too big...... How do you compete? Zhang Yang asked with some curiosity, he wanted to know what Zhu Jun meant. Updates are super fast
"This is also very simple, World of Warcraft is now one of the most balanced games in the world, this Mr. Zhang should agree, right?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile.
"Yes, I agree." There is no opinion on this publicity, with the current technology, there is no game to achieve absolute balance, just a relative balance, World of Warcraft is very prominent at this point, there is no doubt about this, Blizzard's reputation does not disappear to promote others, Blizzard produces, must be high-quality These eight are also accumulated with time, in fact, it is not Blizzard itself to praise.
"Then I think we can take out the battlefield system in World of Warcraft as a competition, and then compete according to the team, isn't it more exciting and beautiful? The competition of the team is the best, but there are some difficulties in the live broadcast. Zhu Jun said what he thought.
"It's not a problem in theory, but there's one of the most critical things here, I'm afraid you ignore it, Mr. Zhu, right? That is, this matter seems to be negotiated between us and Blizzard, and the source code of the game and so on are still in the hands of Blizzard, and if you want to extract the battlefield system in pieces, and at the same time ensure that the data of the game is not unexpected, this should require Blizzard's technology. Zhang Yang has no opinion on this, no one has done this in his previous life, but Zhang Yang wants to see if he can do this in his life.
Even if you can't do it, it doesn't matter, now eSports also has enough good stand-alone games to act as portals, 1, Warcraft, etc., these are all games that are popular all over the world and have enough fans. "This is true, but I'm just giving an opinion, but if this is feasible, I think the Star Group can not refrain from allowing us to set up a club of our own?" Zhu Jun asked tentatively.
Zhang Yang frowned slightly, the establishment of a club, which company was established Zhang Yang has no restrictions on the other party, but if it is ninety percent established, then it is obvious that ninety percent still has an advantage, at least they have the technology of World of Warcraft in their hands, and some theoretical tools are still very important in the current game.
And ninety percent has another advantage, that is, they have enough rich resources, they act as agents of the domestic World of Warcraft, once the idea he put forward can be established, the classic battles born in the game server every day, there should be a lot of videos, right? Ninety percent if they collect these information, tactics, etc., the team they set up will naturally be quite impactful.
"Of course, Star Group does not restrict anyone from setting up a club, as long as it is registered in Star Group, but it must ensure fairness and justice." Zhang Yang said directly.
"Of course, this is for sure, then...... Why don't I go talk to Mr. Mike? Zhu Jun asked. I'll talk about it, it's more convenient for me to talk about it. Zhang Yang thought about it, Zhu Jun is nothing more than one of the many agency companies in the world, and his persuasiveness is naturally not as strong as that of Star Group.
Zhu Jun's proposal is very exciting, and the results of the races, professions, etc. in World of Warcraft will make this competition more enjoyable than other games, but the only technical problem is that it is quite difficult. Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, if he wanted to use World of Warcraft, it was obvious that he had to contact Blizzard, and now that Star Group and Blizzard still have cooperation in this area, it is naturally not difficult to contact Blizzard.
However, Zhang Yang was forbidden to contact Blizzard directly, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yang directly picked up his mobile phone and began to look for the person who had not been in contact for a long time. At this moment, it is already afternoon, and it should be morning in Europe, and that person should have already gone to work.
Hotline was quickly connected, and after connecting Hotline, Zhang Yang immediately smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Fortu." "May I ask who you are?" Fortu's tone was surprised, apparently not hearing who Zhang Yang was. Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, he didn't change the Hotline, Fortu should have his own number.
"You are the founder of the Star Group, Mr. Zhang Yang?" After a pause, he continued to ask. Zhang Yang immediately smiled and said, "It's me." It seems that Mr. Fortu has not forgotten me. ”
Fortu was silent for a short time, and then continued to speak with a mouth full of amazement: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, how can I forget about you, a magical Chinese, you don't know, I sometimes wonder if you are God's son, if I remember correctly, when I met you, it seemed that you were just a middle school student, and there was nothing, but it was less than a year, The wealth you have discovered through your creations has far transcended the ancient business empire of the Vivendi Group, which has a history of more than 100 years, and I am truly amazed by your ability. ”
Zhang Yang was a little stunned, he didn't expect Fortu to come up with a sycophant, Zhang Yang was a little dizzy by him, after choking for a while, Zhang Yang immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Fortu has won the award, and I am just lucky." But I've come to Mr. Fortu this time to help. ”
"Assist?" Fortu was stunned for a moment, obviously not quite understanding what Zhang Yang meant, "I think Mr. Fortu should know the recent growth of the Star Group." Zhang Yang said with a confident smile. I'm afraid there is no company in the world that doesn't pay attention to the Star Group, like such a company, now there is no low-key at all, everyone in the world will put you under the magnifying glass to take a closer look, so if you can play low-key, then there is a ghost.
"Of course. But I still don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Zhang. Fortu continued, somewhat confused. Well, I've heard that Fortu is not in a good financial position. Zhang Yang thought about it, and did not continue to detour, but directly cut to the topic, Vivendi Group can be said to be the largest company in France, and it is the pride of the entire French people. And after entering 04 years, this nearly 200-year-old business empire seems to be in trouble, riddled with debts and struggling.
That's why Zhang Yang thought of this style to find Fortu, Zhang Yang doesn't want to cooperate with Blizzard anymore, there are too many games to cooperate with Blizzard, so it's not cost-effective, it's better to just buy it! Blizzard didn't have much money to return to. "This ...... I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Zhang, I recognize that Star Group has enough cash, does Star Group want to take a stake in Vivendi Group? "Fortu is just a chief executive officer, and he can't say anything about which shareholders are willing to sell their shares, which is beyond his control.
Vivendi has too many shareholders to get a controlling stake, so Forto is not afraid that the Star Group will buy Vivendi like it is buying other companies, which is simply unrealistic. "That's the case, because I feel that the money in my hand has nowhere to spend, so I want to change the investment style, I don't know if the Star Group provides a loan to the Vivendi Group, will the Vivendi Group accept it?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Vivendi Group can now become a diversified super-multinational group, which has a lot of assets, and is no longer the original single-property company. "Mr. Zhang, do you want to buy Blizzard?" Fortu suddenly burst out with a sentence, directly saying the purpose of the publicity.
Zhang Yang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fortu's reaction to be so fast, after a pause, Zhang Yang nodded his head very happily: "Yes, I want to buy Blizzard." After the accident, Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and knew that it was not difficult for Fortu to guess the news, thanks to Zhang Yang's crazy hype in the past two days, the media throughout Europe were talking about the Star Group, and Fortu knew that the Star Group's actions were not a big deal.
And at this time, the Star Group found Vivendi, as long as there is a little bit of a jaw leader, I am afraid that the hole card in his hand will suddenly think of the hole card in his hand, there is no other, there is only one company that can make the Star Group look at, or can make the current Star Group look at, that is Blizzard!
"I need to hold a board meeting to discuss this." Fortu did not refuse.
"Yes, if possible, I hope that Mr. Fortu will not actually spread the news, and that it is better to give me an answer as soon as possible." Zhang Yang nodded.
After hanging up the Hotline, Zhang Yang mo's chin, in fact, don't look at the Star Group's money, but so much investment, the Star Group's money is actually not enough, if Vivendi suddenly asks for too many loans, I'm afraid there will be a big problem, Vivendi's current financial situation is not safe, in fact, Zhang Yang is not willing to invest money in this. But from another point of view, the acquisition of Blizzard is not too much of a loss, as long as this Star Cup can operate, the annual income of Star Group will be too great.
Reputation alone is enough for Star Group to enjoy, not to mention that with the growth of electronic property, when the influence of the entire industry is getting bigger and bigger, then the broadcast cost of TV, advertising, etc. alone is a huge income.
At that time, these investments will be a small number at all, just look at the benefits generated by the current European football leagues, although the Star Group does not expect e-sports to reach that level, but it can reach that half, and Zhang Yang can make enough. What's more, as long as he is famous, even if he can break even, Zhang Yang doesn't care too much about making money.
"Starry Sky helped me gather information about the Vivendi Group. ro@
