Chapter 241: Impact

"Big news! The mythical group has recently acquired Microsoft's Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studios, today is not April Fool's Day, this is true, attached is a video of the press conference and a few screenshots to prove it! ”

", the mythical group is too ferocious, Xbox says to buy it, it's so cruel that there is no humanity at all, but I like it!"

"I was going to buy Sony's PS4 in the near future, but I still plan to buy Xboxone when I see this, and I support domestic products!"

"Xiao Lizi is too powerful, no, I'll buy an Xbox in a few days! In the past, Capcom's games could be played on the Xbox platform, plus the games produced by the original Microsoft Game Studios, there are too many Xbox games now, will it make me picky! ”

"Support domestic products, boycott Japanese products, and don't buy PS4 and Wii in the future!"

"Does this mean that the Mythical Group will shift their focus to console games in the future? Is my long-awaited King and Queen going to postpone their meeting? ”

"Upstairs, you're worrying about the sky, Mythical Group started with online games, how could you give up online games? My uncle is a staff member of the Mythical Group, and I heard him say that all the operations of Xbox are still with the original team, and the Mythical Group will not interfere with the operation of Xbox for the time being, and the King of Fighters can still test the drop as scheduled! ”

"Upstairs is still an uncle's party, dare to ask what position your uncle holds in the Mythical Group?"

"Everyone is so profound, I don't know how to feel it, Li Jufu!"

"Landlord, why did you give up the treatment?"

……

As soon as the news of the acquisition of Microsoft's Xbox business and Microsoft's game studio came out, it immediately triggered an eight-magnitude earthquake on the Internet in the world, and many netizens were stunned by this news.

What is the Mythical Group?

Can you buy Xbox for so many dollars?

You must know that two years ago, Microsoft spent $7.2 billion on Nokia's mobile phone business, and this mythical group actually spent $4 billion for Xbox, which can no longer be described as wealthy.

The name of the mythical group has gone through this battle, and this is the place in the hearts of gamers in the world, who have heard of this company's games in the past, but they don't know much about other things about this company. Now they are beginning to really understand the mythical group in depth, and they can't help but be shocked by the rapid rise of this company, and when they choose the game, the game of the mythical group is also included in the candidate list, instead of playing the game like before, they don't know which company developed it.

Microsoft's share price after selling Xbox rebounded quickly after a brief decline, eventually rising by three percentage points, which equates to more than $7 billion in the value of Microsoft's stake in a single day.

The Washington Post in the United States commented: "Microsoft's sale of Xbox and the game studio's start to travel lightly, competing with Google, Apple and other companies for market share in the mobile operating system!" ”

The review reads: Shortly after the birth of Xbox, Microsoft adopted a loss-making sales strategy in order to be able to compete with Sony and Nintendo on console platforms, losing $125 per Xbox sold, and losing more than $100 per unit sold until the new generation of Xboxone launched in 2013. Although Microsoft has a lot of money and doesn't care about this loss, Microsoft has lost more than 10 billion US dollars for Xbox over the years, which is really shocking!

Microsoft apparently recognizes this, and with the gradual shift of focus to the mobile operating system over the past two years, Xbox has become a dispensable product. Although Xbox is undeniably an important appliance in the living room, Microsoft has made up its mind to throw away its heavy baggage and start traveling light. Google and Apple and other companies looking to enter the mobile operating system space should beware, a Microsoft that travels lightly and is determined is very scary!

This Washington Post review praised Microsoft's sale of the Xbox business and did not talk much about the mythical group that acquired Xbox.

The New York Times, on the other hand, focused on the highly colorful rendering of the Mythical Group, with the headline of its latest article: "Will the high-profile entry of the Huaxia Mythical Group into the field of video games continue to engage in a price war with Sony and Nintendo that has lasted more than a decade?" ”

The content of the article reads: Huaxia Mythology Group is a new game company in the game industry in the world, currently mainly engaged in the development and operation of client games, and has occupied a dominant position in large-scale role-playing games in Huaxia, a large online game consumer. Owning a very important patent for a very important client game called "human-computer interaction system" and an advanced game engine, both of which have been open to licensing, any company can spend a certain amount of money to obtain a license to use these two technologies, and at this year's E3 exhibition, more than one-third of client games have used these two technologies to some extent.

Such a powerful game company is now entering the field of video games and console platforms in a high-profile manner, which is very beneficial for the majority of players, because in order to consolidate Xbox's current position, Myth Group will inevitably give a certain amount of preferential treatment on console platforms and game prices. In addition, Capcom Co., Ltd. and the eight-foot mirror studio produced by the mythical group will also fully join the Xbox platform, and the games that Xbox players can choose will undoubtedly greatly increase, with the strong strength of the mythical group, new TV games will continue to be launched in the future, as far as this reporter is concerned, I am still willing to continue to use Xbox.

USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Sun, Time, Fortune and other well-known media outlets have reported on the incident, commenting on Microsoft's sale and the acquisition of the Xbox business by Myth Group.

Some media believe that the Mythical Group will take advantage of the acquisition of Xbox to quickly open up the market in the world and become a well-known game company in the world. Some media believe that the acquisition of Mythical Group is a big failure, and may even drag down the entire company because of Xbox, which will plunge Mythical Group into the abyss.

Of course, the media in Huaxia is not far behind, and game media such as Duo Game Network have launched Xbox topics and expressed their opinions. Most of them spoke highly of the boldness of the Mythical Group, and believed that Xbox would not only maintain its current position in the hands of the Mythical Group, but even become the world's No. 1 console platform in the near future.

A few game media outlets such as 17173 have expressed their concerns that Microsoft has not been able to turn Xbox into a profit if it loses so much money every year, and if Mythical Group does not raise the price of Xbox, it will also lose more than one billion dollars a year like Microsoft.

The question is, where did the Mythical Group get so much money to subsidize Xbox?

Immediately, the media refuted it, and Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios spent a total of $4 billion, according to an unnamed senior executive of the Myth Group. The acquisition of Xbox did not cost a penny of the Mythical Group at all, but the chairman of the Mythical Group, Mr. Li Haoyu, acquired it at his own expense, and the operation of Xbox in the future was also funded by Mr. Li Haoyu. Although I don't know where Li Haoyu's money comes from, there is no need to worry about Xbox's operating expenses.

The Shancheng Daily and Evening News, where the Mythical Group is located, used large photos and words on the front page to report the acquisition of Xbox by the Mythical Group, and also attached a brief interview with Li Haoyu.

CCTV2 Financial Channel's "Economic Half Hour" program invited three financial experts to comment on the pros and cons of the acquisition of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios by the Mythical Group, and finally the three experts agreed that as long as the Mythical Group has enough financial resources to operate Xbox without delaying the operation of its own company, then the acquisition is undoubtedly very successful.

CCTV1's "News Network" also spent three minutes reporting on Huaxia's largest overseas acquisition of a private Chinese company to date, after Wanda Group's $2.6 billion acquisition of AMC Entertainment Holdings, the second-largest cinema group in the United States.

The Mythical Group is completely on fire now, not only young gamers, but even those middle-aged and elderly people have to give a thumbs up when they mention the Mythical Group.

It can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye that can make "News Network", the first brand in China and a must-see news program for Chinese officials, report on the acquisition of Mythical Group in three minutes. The Mythical Group has people on it, and the energy is not small, otherwise why haven't overseas acquisitions by other companies been broadcast on the news network for so long?

At this time, another news came that Li Haoyu was named the first of the top ten outstanding young people in China in 2015.

Just two days later, Li Haoyu was named the first of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in China in 2015 and the title of one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Shancheng.

Immediately afterwards, Li Haoyu was once again named the seventh of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in China, which surprised everyone to drop their glasses.

PS: A few days ago, Qingming went to my hometown to worship when it rained, these days have been dizzy, yesterday I really couldn't hold it and went to the local health center to see a doctor, after an injection and an infusion of more than an hour, the doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines, and asked me to rest more.

For those who have been paying attention to this book, I'm sorry to tell you that there is only one update every day for these two days or three days, I'm sorry everyone, I'm guilty, and I have the opportunity to make up these chapters in the future.
