"Shock! EvanWells, president of Naughty Dog Studios under Sony Global Studios, and Tim Moss, president of Santa Monica Studios, have recently resigned, and a total of more than 300 employees of the two studios have joined the Myth Group, and formed the tenth game studio of the Myth Group 'Stephen Game Studio' to create new games for the Xbox platform of the Myth Group. As for EvanWells and TimMoss, they left Sony for a reason, and brought most of the operating employees of the two studios, Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, to the Mythical Group, it is said that because Sony refused their request to enjoy a 10% profit share, the two of them defected to the Huaxia Mythical Group in a fit of rage! ”

Not long after TimMoss and EvanWells reached an agreement with the Mythical Group, and even the nearly 300 former Naughty Dog and Santa Monica employees had not had time to sign a contract with the Mythical Group one by one, the reporter of the Los Angeles Times got the news from somewhere and was the first to disclose it.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the game world and the Internet, and many people couldn't believe it, how could the presidents of Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, the world's top game studios, say that they changed jobs? And they also took most of the original employees of the two studios with them.

This is probably the craziest job-hopping in the world, right?

Not to mention his own job hopping, he also took away most of the people who were originally his boss, and now the two studios of Naughty Dog and Santa Monica have suddenly become studios on the verge of bankruptcy from the top game studios in the world.

Huaxia's online media reprinted the news as soon as possible, and in less than a day, gamers in Huaxia were discussing the matter.

Of course, Huaxia is happy to see this matter, and many netizens also encouraged Li Haoyu to simply buy the entire Sony, and Sony's products will be all Chinese domestic products in the future.

"Joy to the Universal! Would I say I'm too happy to see the news? Some people are bent on going abroad, don't you see that foreigners are coming to work in our company in Huaxia now? ”

"It's so exciting!"

"I'm looking forward to what good games this Stephen Game Studio can launch, in order to support domestic products, I specially bought an Xboxone after the mythical group bought Xbox! But then again, console games are first-class in terms of graphics and quality, especially when connected to a large-screen monitor, and I found that I already fell in love with console games! ”

"The mythical group and the little plum are so good! After a few years, I will try to bring down Sony, Sony's products are not good at performance and are sold expensively, I think you are Apple! Depend on! ”

"I only play games produced by the Mythical Group now, and I find that as long as it is a game of the Mythical Group, there is no game that is not fun, and I strongly support the Mythical Group, and it is best to become the No. 1 game company in the world. In this way, the game masterpiece can be played by our Huaxia people for the first time, and we will not wait for people from other countries to get tired of playing as before, and we have only started the public beta here in Huaxia. ”

"Upstairs said that I went to my heart, and I only donated to the Yuqing Charity Foundation, and I feel at ease when I donate to this foundation!"

"Upstairs +1, the mythical group is the most conscientious company in our Huaxia, such a company must be strongly supported!"

……

A reporter from the American "Business Daily" is an old friend of EvanWells, and after learning of this situation, he immediately approached EvanWells and asked for an exclusive interview, and EvanWells also agreed to give face.

In this interview, EvanWells talks in detail about why he and TimMoss chose to change jobs, and if Sony hadn't rejected their reasonable requests, they wouldn't have chosen to jump to Huaxia Myth Group at the same time. In addition, the people who followed them to the Mythical Group were all chosen by them, and they felt that it was more in their interests to work in the Huaxia Mythical Group.

After the "Business Daily" published this interview, it immediately caused an uproar in the world and the game industry, and they really couldn't figure out why Sony would refuse the 10% profit sharing plan that was now the mainstream to the game production team, could it be that Sony's finances were so tight that they couldn't pay their salaries?

With this question, Business Daily found a professional financial expert working on Wall Street, who took out Sony's financial statements for the third quarter of 2016 and pointed out that Sony had lost $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2016, which was the fourth consecutive quarter of Sony's losses. Since the last quarter of 2015, Sony has been losing money on a series of losses, and it has incurred a lot of costs to exit the PC business in the process of restructuring in 2014.

In order to cope with the continuous losses, Sony has not paid bonuses to executives for five consecutive years, and has laid off nearly 5,000 people. This has also caused quite a lot of problems, and many executives have complained about it, especially in the past two years, the news of Sony's frequent resignation of senior executives shows that Sony's top management has been in turmoil.

The news of the "Business Daily" is tantamount to sprinkling a handful of salt on Sony's wounds, Sony's finances were already stretched, and now after the "Business Daily" disclosed this, Sony's stock price has dropped from $16.85 per share to $12.58 per share in one day, and its market value has shrunk by nearly $5 billion.

The drop in Sony's share price has caused panic among many investors, who have been expecting that Sony's restructuring plan will begin to bear fruit this fiscal year. Due to consecutive years of losses, Sony has stepped up its restructuring efforts. Sony's president, Kazuo Hirai, is leading a radical restructuring of the company, including the sale of Sony's Manhattan headquarters for $1.1 billion to ensure liquidity, and the sale of the computer brand Vaio, but it still hasn't brought Sony back to life.

Kazuo Hirai is so depressed that he probably wants to strangle the reporter of "Business Daily" to death now!

In order to win attention, the Wall Street Journal, U.S. News, USA Today, Fortune magazine, The Times, The Guardian and other well-known newspapers in the world have reprinted the news of Business Daily, and they don't care whether Sony will suffer heavy losses because of this.

For a time, the world was talking about Sony's debt, and investors who bought Sony's shares sold these shares one after another, which formed the second jump in Sony's stock price, and Sony's market value shrank sharply again, and now it is less than $10 billion.

The major newspapers in the world also sent reporters to Japan, wanting to interview Sony's senior management to get the inside scoop, but Sony refused to cooperate and warned Sony's senior management not to leak any information about Sony at will.

It's just that the pressure of public opinion is so great, the more Sony refuses to respond, the more others feel that there is something strange in it, and if Sony doesn't come out with a positive response, I'm afraid that not only will the stock price jump off the building for the third time, but also big investors will give up Sony, so that Sony is really finished.

As a last resort, Kazuo Hirai finally agreed to hold a press conference to answer questions from major media outlets.

In the press conference hall of Sony's headquarters, Kazuo Hirai and several high-level officials of the headquarters sat on the stage, and the reporters sent by the two or three hundred media outlets in the audience frantically pressed the shutter, and the flashing lights never stopped.

After the press conference officially began, countless reporters began to ask questions, which made Kazuo Hirai and several Sony executives overwhelmed for a while.

At this time, a reporter with an oriental face began to ask: "President Kazuo Hirai, I am a reporter from Huaxia's Guangming Daily, may I ask whether the sharp shrinkage of Sony's market value in the recent period has caused difficulties for Sony's current operation?" In addition, in the face of two consecutive declines in stock prices, does Sony have any countermeasures? ”

Sony didn't expect that this reporter with an oriental face was a Chinese, and his heart was already very depressed, plus this Chinese reporter directly tore Sony's wound open, his heart was even more irritable, and he said coldly: "This has no comment!" ”

The Huaxia reporter didn't plan to let go of Kazuo Hirai, and continued to ask: "President Kazuo Hirai, we have all read Sony's financial statements this year, and I don't know if Sony's finances have improved in the past two months." ”

After two consecutive rounds of stock price jumping and investors selling stocks, the current Sony has been greatly damaged. The gaming department has been paralyzed, and electronics have been losing money, and now it's all relying on Sony Pictures and Sony Records to transfuse blood for the headquarters. Sony Pictures and Sony Records have put most of their profits into the headquarters, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many people, and several powerful companies in the United States are eyeing Sony Pictures and Sony Records, hoping to take advantage of Sony's shrinking market value to take the world's largest film and television companies and record companies into their arms.

Sony, a giant multinational enterprise established for more than 60 years, has fallen into turmoil, and many people want to take this opportunity to bite the fat on Sony.

"Sony has encountered some difficulties, but I am confident that it will soon survive this difficult situation and rise again to become one of the most successful companies in the world!" Kazuo Hirai said toughly.

A reporter once again poured salt on Kazuo Hirai's wounds: "President Kazuo Hirai, it seems that it is very difficult for Sony to hear about this difficulty, Sony's market value has shrunk by half, and there is no sign of a rebound, how will you get through it?" ”

Kazuo Hirai snorted coldly, stood up and turned his head away, not looking at the many sluggish-looking reporters in the audience.
