Chapter 561: The Arrival of GOD (3)

Zhang Yang really didn't ask about this, in fact, Zhang Yang really wanted to ask, but forget it if you think about it, even if it's someone else's, cough cough, anything can happen in modern society. GOD naturally didn't know that Zhang Yang was still turning this thought in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, GOD pondered for a while and said, "Otherwise, how about renting me a few floors in your group's headquarters building?" ”

"That's fine, but it looks like our company's group building will take at least two years or so." Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, the total usable area of the Star Group should reach at least one million square meters, such a huge area is simply not just one company's group headquarters, and in the future the entire building will become a complete small society, from post offices, banks, restaurants and so on.

Although it is possible that these enterprises are operated by the Star Group, it is not a big deal to rent out some area to GOD to open a club, and the people who often come and go in these clubs are those who are rich, and there is also a good place for those customers of the Star Group, and both parties are mutually beneficial.

"It's nothing, it's a big deal to open it then." GOD SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS, "BUT MAY I ASK HOW YOUR COMPANY'S HOST SYSTEM CAME TO BE?" You designed it? GOD looked at Zhang Yang and asked. I designed it, you went to the company's technical department to check it, let me tell you here, I can't tell you for a while. ”

Zhang Yang didn't know how to explain this matter to GOD, so he let GOD investigate it himself. Although powerful people like GOD and others get a lot more information than others when they check the entire system, Zhang Yang still believes that the stars can hide what should be hidden.

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't say it, GOD didn't force it, and what Zhang Yang said happened to hit GOD's idea. In the past few days, Zhang Yang has not gone anywhere, but issued a new announcement on the official website of the Star Cup, mainly a recruitment announcement, and the framework for the overall operation of the Star Cup is there, but the specific staff is still a lot worse.

Fang Shaoyun and Bai Su also got it, but Fang Shaoyun didn't choose to help Zhang Yang, but ran to the side of Star Heavy Industries, until chatting with Fang Shaoyun this time, Zhang Yang didn't know that the research room where Fang Shaoyun and his old man were located was actually one of the subsidiaries acquired by Star Group, Fang Shaoyun was not interested in Zhang Yang's doing, but he was very interested in researching hardware. With Fang Shaoyun's level, in fact, going to college is a process of improving the knowledge chain, and now there is no way to continue, so I have to go directly to work.

Anyway, with Zhang Yang's relationship with him, even if he can't even read, it's no problem for Zhang Yang to arrange a job, sometimes, when it's time to show favoritism, you have to show favoritism, people live for a lifetime, so why is it selfless? What's more, the company is still its own. Star Cup Zhang Yang has also set up a separate subsidiary, named Star Cup E-sports Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star Group and is mainly responsible for the operation of the global Star Cup.

The person in charge was temporarily designated as Bai Su, and then mobilized a few experienced managers from the group to help, even if it was a group framework, the others were empty. The recruitment of the Star Cup is different from the recruitment of other companies, first of all, the main recruitment is those old players who play games, especially the players who can serve as commentators for each stand-alone game, they don't need to have a high degree of education, as long as you can be competent in commenting the game.

Another point is that the whole recruitment process is for all countries in the world at the same time, because at that time, the leagues of each country will definitely need their own commentary, and each country will also need its own staff. Zhang Yang threw the recruitment to Bai Su and Chen Xiaowei to be responsible, in fact, it is mainly to use the current huge personnel department of the Star Group, if you are responsible, if you have to rely on Bai Su alone, it is estimated that by the end of this year, I am afraid that the recruitment will not be completed, let alone carry out other work.

"No, I'm not going to do it, you want to exhaust me." On the way to pick up the two brothers with GOD, Zhang Yang received a call from Bai Su again.

"I said, didn't we say okay, you can't pick on the middle of the road, you don't do it now, who will be responsible?" Zhang Yang was a little helpless.

"No, I said, we have to think of individual solutions, the main thing is that I'm tired, but other things are not reliable at all, I haven't been in charge of recruitment these days, all of them are in charge of the following managers, do you know how many calls I have received these days? There are more than 60 calls from major countries alone. Bai Su said with a wry smile.

"Huh? So much? Zhang Yang was a little surprised, in his previous life, it seemed that WCG's influence was quite large, but after a few years, more than 60 countries joined WCG, although these countries almost occupy more than 80% of the world's land area and are also major economies, but now there is no reason for Star Group to get the support of so many countries at one time?

"The problem you consider is too simple, I have asked the Ministry of Finance to recalculate the announcement about you in the past few days, just the early investment will probably need to be close to about 4 billion US dollars, although the 4 billion US dollars of investment will be divided into more than 60 countries, but no country will think that their own country has less investment, and your investment is not a lot, especially it is not as large as other industries." Bai Su probably told Zhang Yang again.

"I see, I see, what do you mean?" As soon as Bai Su said this, Zhang Yang knew that he was ignoring some things, Zhang Yang always compared with the WCG in his previous life when he was doing this, but Zhang Yang forgot the most fundamental thing, that is, WCG is sponsored by Samsung, but its investment is too small, not to mention anything else, just the crazy bonus of the players can drive a large number of people.

As long as there are people paying attention to any industry, it will be valuable, not to mention, the Star Group has invested not only these bonuses, but also the venues and personnel needed to form leagues in various countries, and the venues and personnel needed are all providing jobs for various countries, which can be regarded as providing an investment, and it is also free, how can governments refuse such a thing?

Thinking about this, Zhang Yang knew what Bai Su meant. "What I mean is very simple, which is to contact the participating countries directly and ask them to help provide some staff, venues, etc., and we can pay at the market rate, so that our venues can be rolled out quickly, and we can just send managers to the countries." Bai Su said quickly.

"But there is a problem with this, that is, the quality of personnel must be problematic." Bai Su added. Zhang Yang didn't think about this question at all, and said directly: "Just follow your opinion, as for the last question, let alone your Star Cup now, it is the current situation in the entire Star Group, which is the price of rapid expansion, but now we don't have time to deal with these situations, and after our company's headquarters is completed, we will start to focus on rectifying this problem." ”

The problem mentioned by Bai Su is not only the existence of the Star Cup, but also the existence of this problem within the entire Star Group, which is also a matter of no choice, the rapid development of the group brings about this consequence, fortunately, because of Zhao Fei's responsibility in the technical department of the Star Group, there is no major problem for the time being, and the things studied within the technology department are actually not important.

In addition, there is the research institute on Luo Gai's side, which is the top priority, Zhang Yang handed Luo Gai over to Luo Tianshu's side, and there are many confidential research institutes in the subsidiaries of the Northern Weapons Group acquired by the Star Group, which can be used for research as long as they are slightly transformed, and the confidentiality is also quite strong, even if there are some problems, Zhang Yang can't help it, the main reason is that Luo Gai's time is too short, Luo Tianshu also made a phone call to Zhang Yang a few days ago, and Luo Gai's body had an obvious discomfort reaction, There is already a group of doctors on standby at all times.

"Okay, no problem, then I'll do it, and the country has also contacted me, and theoretically agreed with our things, saying that there are other issues that need to be studied." Bai Su talked about the domestic affairs alone, the situation abroad is much better than the domestic situation, mainly because the domestic situation is complicated, and the domestic understanding problem, especially the generation of their parents, hearing the game is like hearing the flood beast, and the slow resolution in China is also expected.

During this time, there have been a lot of controversies on the forum of the Star Cup, including many fierce people, but these posts have not been deleted, this level must be passed, but the post-80s generation is generally acceptable, and many people support the Star Group to do this with a welcome and supportive attitude.

The other side is the parents of this generation, but the main weather vane is the country, if the above can simply agree to the establishment of a national team, and say that this e-sports is a sport, this wind direction should slowly change. Hung up the phone with Bai Su, and Zhang Yang told GOD the details of the matter.

This guy GOD is quite interested in the business of this game alliance, so he is now one of the main leaders of the Star Cup, but he is in charge of technical things. "This can only be a stopgap measure, but I don't understand this management thing, the most important thing is the technical thing, by the way, did France call you?" GOD ASKED.

"Nope." Zhang Yang replied helplessly, after GOD heard that Zhang Yang was going to buy Blizzard back, the whole thing seemed to fall into a state of madness, and he had to ask Zhang Yang several times every day if he had called Zhang Yang from France. Zhang Yang didn't expect that this guy GOD was still a game fan.

"Damn, Vivendi idiots, don't they know that our group is rich? Damn, hurry up and sell it. If he doesn't call you today, I'll curse him for not having a baby. GOD called out in a depressed voice, and as soon as GOD's words fell, Zhang Yang's mobile phone rang.

Picking up the phone and taking a look, Zhang Yang looked at GOD with a strange face: "Okay, you are amazing, it's Fortu's phone." GOD WAS STUNNED FOR A MOMENT, AND IMMEDIATELY SAID NERVOUSLY: "REALLY? Damn, then you still drive a hairy car, quickly pull over, I'll drive. ”

Zhang Yang was a little speechless, and while answering the phone, he parked the car on the side of the road. After getting out of the cab, Fortu's voice also came from the phone: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Fortu, on Mr. Zhang's proposal, Vivendi Group held a board meeting, and the board of directors theoretically agreed with Mr. Zhang's proposal to buy Blizzard, but we only have one condition." ”

"You say." Zhang Yang gestured to GOD, and then the two switched positions, and Zhang Yang took the co-pilot's position. Zhang Yang didn't expect Vivendi to agree so quickly, Zhang Yang was ready, if Vivendi Group did not agree, Zhang Yang was ready to acquire several of the most important subsidiaries of Vivendi Group on the stock market to threaten to exchange shares, anyway, Star Group now has enough funds, and to be honest, Blizzard is under Vivendi's name, there is really no good development, but it is different in Star Group.

Once some technologies are combined with game technology, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two. However, for Vivendi's directors, Blizzard is just a money-making subsidiary under them, and they don't have any special plot for Blizzard, certainly not like Zhang Yang and GOD have a special plot in Blizzard's heart.

For them, as long as there is a greater good, it is not inconceivable to abandon Blizzard. "That's the case, we don't have any requirements, only one point, that is, when necessary, I hope that Miss Li Keqing of Star Group can publicly hold a press conference to announce the capital injection of Vivendi Group, we hope that the amount of capital injection is at least 50 billion US dollars, as for the conditions, we hope that Miss Li Keqing will not announce it to the public, as long as it is not a shareholding." Fortu directly stated the conditions.

"Wait, I don't understand what it means to be public when it's necessary? I listen to what you mean, Mr. Fortu, it seems that this matter is just an announcement to the outside world, and you don't really want the Star Group to inject capital? Zhang Yang frowned and asked, this matter must be clarified, the current market value of Vivendi Group is only about 90 billion US dollars, and 50 billion US dollars is almost the average share of Vivendi Group.

"Yes, it's just a public announcement, this is our secret agreement, there will be no practical ** ease between us, if agreed, Vivendi Group agreed to sell Blizzard to Star Group for $1.5 billion." Fortu was quick to state the conditions.

$1.5 billion is not too high, it is about $200 million higher than Blizzard's market capitalization, and the price is affordable.

"Okay, I agree, but we'll sign an agreement. We are not responsible for any other legal issues arising from our disclosures. Zhang Yang made his position clear very directly.

"This is natural, the faster we cooperate." Fortu readily agreed.
