"Hey, Jack, Ron is looking for you, I guess there's a job to do!" A twenty-seven-eight-year-old Caucasian young man patted Jack Road, who was rushing to write a manuscript.

Jack looked up, and the person who photographed him, his Washington Post partner, cameraman Jim, asked, "Isn't this topic of ours unfinished?" Ron is giving us a job again? ”

Jim said with concern: "I don't know what to do, it seems that Microsoft is going to hold a press conference again, and it is estimated that this time the two of us are going to interview." ”

Jack patted his forehead with a headache and said, "God, this old guy Ron doesn't assign others to go, why do we go every time I go out for interviews?" It's so fucking unfair, I'm going to protest! ”

Jim said: "Jack, I don't want to go either, this kind of work is the hardest and most tiring, but the pay is not much, I am depressed!" ”

"Why don't we go to Raymond City today, and let that old man Ron be looking for someone?" Jack asked tentatively.

"Don't, Jack, don't pull me on if you want to strike, I still want to keep going." Jim repeatedly, "Jack, you'd better go to Ron's, lest that old fellow lose his temper again." ”

Jack stood up and said with a painful face: "That's it, I hope this press conference won't be as many peers as last time, so that we don't even have a chance to ask questions, and the bonus is deducted from the boss." ”

Jim sympathetic, "I hope so, Jack, you better go to Ron's quickly." ”

Jack shook his head and walked into the office of Ron, the editor in chief of the Washington Post, with a dead expression.

"Jack, please be seated." Ron was an old man in his fifties with thinning hair, he saw Jack coming and pointed to the chair across the desk, waiting for Jack to sit down before saying, "Jack, tomorrow Microsoft will hold a press conference with Huaxia Myth Group at their headquarters, and I decided to let you and Jim go for this interview." Both of you are some of the best reporters in our newspaper, and it will be of great benefit to you to go and become the best reporter in the United States in the future. ”

Jack didn't dare to complain in front of the editor-in-chief, and said, "Mr. Ron, do you know that Microsoft and that Huaxia Mythology Group are holding a press conference for Lu, and I can also make preparations." ”

Ron said: "I don't know much about this, I guess it should be related to Microsoft's Xbox, as for whether it is I can't guarantee it." ”

Jack was silent for a moment and said, "I know, Mr. Ron, I haven't finished today's topic, I hope you can find someone to finish it." ”

"Don't worry, Jack, the interview for this topic is still in your name." Ron, patted Jack on the shoulder.

The next day, Jack and Jim arrive at Microsoft's headquarters in Raymond in full gear, and they are startled as soon as they get out of the car. In the parking lot outside Microsoft's headquarters building, two or three hundred media covering the world's major media have been parked in a dense manner, and in addition to those foreign media, at least four or five hundred media attended Microsoft's press conference today.

"Jim, Microsoft's press conference this time is really big enough, a lot of peers." Jack took off the camera on his chest and took more than a dozen photos of these interview cars before saying, "Let's go in, otherwise we won't be able to find a place later." ”

Jim looked at the camera and said bitterly, "I hate to be in the crowd with this everyone!" ”

The two followed their peers to Microsoft's press conference hall, found a relatively high position, and began to discuss the content of the press conference in a low voice, and began to debug the camera and camera equipment, waiting for the press conference to start.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a blond, blue-eyed, low-cut dress of a European and American woman walked up to the high platform, took the microphone and said, "Everyone, please be quiet." I'm Lydia, the head of public relations at Microsoft, and on behalf of Microsoft and all the employees of Huaxia Myth Group, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the media friends who have traveled thousands of miles to participate in this press conference. Today's press conference is about Microsoft's sale of the Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studios as a whole to Huaxia Mythology Group, and now there are Microsoft CEO Mr. Satya and Chairman Li of Huaxia Mythology Collection on stage! ”

Although many media outlets had already guessed that the press conference was about Microsoft's Xbox business, they still couldn't believe it when they heard the words of this woman named Lydia. Since Microsoft released the first generation of home game consoles in 2001, Xbox has been with many people in Europe and the United States for 14 years, and even many home Xbox has been one of the many household appliances.

In the past few years, there have been rumors that Microsoft will sell the money-losing goods of Xbox, although Microsoft has not responded, but Xbox launched the latest version of XboxOne in 13, which makes many people think that this is a signal that Microsoft will not sell Xbox.

It's just that what is supposed to come will come eventually, and Microsoft has finally sold the Xbox business, which loses more than a billion dollars a year, which makes many reporters who have deep feelings for Xbox feel lost.

At this time, Satya and Li Haoyu walked on the rostrum side by side, and after taking their seats separately, Lydia threw an inquiring look at Satya, and Satya nodded slightly.

"Now I would like to ask Mr. Satya, CEO of Microsoft, to introduce the details of the overall sale of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios this time." Lydia stepped down from the podium as she spoke, there was nothing left for her for the time being.

Satya smiled and said: "Hello gentlemen and ladies, journalists and friends from various media in the world, this is a press conference jointly held by Microsoft and Huaxia Mythology Group, Microsoft will sell the Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studio as a whole to Huaxia Mythology Group for four billion US dollars. The price of the Xbox business is $3.5 billion, and the price of Microsoft Game Studios is $500 million, which includes all the technical patents, game copyrights, and all the staff! Next, I would like to ask Chairman Li of Huaxia Mythology Group to say a few words to you. ”

Reporters used voice recorders to record Satya's words, and at the same time typed the content of Satya's words on their laptops, for fear of missing a word.

This is a heavyweight news comparable to the explosion of an atomic bomb!

Fourteen years of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios have lost money one after another, and Microsoft executives have to sell them painfully! Some reporters gathered to think about the topics of tomorrow's front page headlines, and waited to go back to typesetting.

Does this indicate that Microsoft has completely withdrawn from the competition with Sony and Nintendo on console platforms and video games?

Does this mean that Microsoft will start to travel light in 2016 and focus all its energy on mobile operating systems to compete with companies like Google, Apple and Samsung?

Does this mean that there is a place for Nokia's mobile phone business, which Microsoft acquired for $7.2 billion in September 2013?

A series of questions swirled in the minds of all the reporters, and they wanted to start asking questions right away.

It was the first time for Li Haoyu to personally attend such a large-scale press conference, and he was a little excited in his heart, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "Xbox is a great product, and it and the subsequent Xbox 360 and Xboxone have brought countless happy moments to game-loving players all over the world, and I am lucky to be able to acquire such a great product." I hereby guarantee that the price of Xbox will remain unchanged after the acquisition, and that all TV games produced by the Myth Group and all games of Capcom will be fully supported by the Xbox platform from now on, and the prices of Microsoft Game Studios and Capcom's previous generation games will be fully discounted. Within three years, the Myth Group will launch a new generation of Xbox versions that will not lose quality to the latest generation of Sony and Nintendo! ”

"Bang Bang!"

Hearing Li Haoyu's words, many reporters couldn't help but clap their hands, attracted by his sincere talk and assurance.

"Now let's start asking questions, this gentleman in the third row, do you have any questions to ask?" Satya said, pointing to Jack in the third row.

Jack didn't expect that he was the first to be drawn to ask a question, he quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Satya and Li Haoyu, and asked: "Mr. Satya, I'm Jack a reporter from the Washington Post, may I ask why Microsoft will sell the Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studios?" After selling the Xbox business as well as the game studio, what's next for Microsoft? ”

Satya smiled: "Mr. Jack, I can answer your two questions in one sentence, the sale of the Xbox business is because Microsoft needs to travel lightly and get a little bit of success on the mobile operating system." ”

This time it was Li Haoyu's turn to ask questions by name, he glanced a few times under the rostrum, and suddenly saw an acquaintance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Please ask the young lady in the fourth row to ask a question." ”

Chen Xiaoling saw Li Haoyu's expression and knew that he had recognized himself, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. She is also quite proud to be able to make him, a busy man, remember his appearance after a few months, and not anyone like Li Haoyu can make him remember.

Hurriedly stood up, Chen Xiaoling showed a big smile and said in fluent English: "Chairman Li, I am Chen Xiaoling, a reporter from Huaxia Zhonghai's 'Youth Daily', may I ask if the acquisition of the Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studio by the Mythical Group will have any impact on the operation of the Mythical Group itself?" Will the mythical group focus on video games next? ”
