Chapter 203: Give Me One Too

It's not for nothing that Cui Yue can play Warcraft to such a point comparable to professional players, compared to those who can only wait for the game to be played after it is released, he holds 30% of Blizzard's shares and is far ahead of those players, and with the economic resources he holds in his hands, it is enough for Blizzard to fully satisfy his belly psychology - mixing his wishes in the design of maps, characters, weapons, etc., after he tried it, he added his personal habits to the bottom line of not destroying the balance of the game, This is undoubtedly an extremely outrageous form of cheating. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, even so, Cui Yue has not been able to beat those professional players, which may only be due to talent.

Getting a stake in Blizzard was a complete accident.

Many people may not know the name Prestige, but most people must be familiar with the company's subsidiary, Blizzard Entertainment.

In 2002, the long-term debt management of Weiwangdi Global Group was directly exposed, which brought about the consequence not only to let shareholders see the debt of up to 30 billion euros and lose confidence in it, but also to bring about a reduction in creditworthiness, and the creditworthiness of 3B to 2B made it more difficult to borrow money from major banks for turnover.

The VCs who have been enduring it for a long time in the company have also been unbearable, and when the group is facing disintegration, Vivendi has begun an internal reorganization, and its subordinate company Blizzard Entertainment will also face threats and adjustments.

But it wasn't until Blizzard Entertainment's people went to Huaxia to attract investors that outsiders learned that the rumored "World of Warcraft" that had been successfully developed was only 30% complete. In that case, Blizzard Entertainment was also carrying out "StarCraft 2" and "StarCraft: Ghost" at the same time, "Warcraft" three major projects, in order to effectively allocate resources, Prestige's game department required Blizzard Entertainment to cut a project, and as a new attempt at online paid games, "World of Warcraft" was highly vocalized.

At that time, Yun Taiyuan of the Asia-Pacific Online Games Department, Michael, the China manager of Vivendi, and Michael, the vice president of Blizzard, had secretly contacted a number of companies in Huaxia, one of which was the "Ninth City" in Beihai City.

Blizzard is short of money, short of a lot of money. In 2002, the $20 million sum was prohibitive for many drooling companies, and even if they could get more than 20 percent of the equity, it was still too risky.

Because Prestige's debt is a drop in the bucket compared to $20 million.

And if it weren't for the 30 billion euros in debt, World of Warcraft would not have reached the point of lack of funds, and it was almost cut in half by Prestige Di in a difficult situation.

What is the concept of if the knife goes down?

Before LOL is born in the future, there will be no World of Warcraft, the world's largest online game, and there will be no more than 12 million users from all over the world gathered on the land of Azeroth, let alone the horror of billions of dollars in annual value.

That knife goes down, which is equivalent to prestige Di wielding a knife from the palace and not being able to practice the sunflower treasure book.

Therefore, in order to keep World of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment would rather take out the equity of World of Warcraft in exchange for more R&D expenses, so as to relieve the huge pressure from the top management of Vivendi.

In this regard, many times the company that came to the door either couldn't come up with the money, or felt that it was not cost-effective and vetoed it.

"Twenty million dollars in exchange for shares in a gaming company? I know they're excellent, but what else do they have besides games? ”

What else do they have?

This is the question that Cui Yue faced at the group meeting when he proposed to intervene in the debt crisis of Vivendi to buy Blizzard.

They didn't know what else Blizzard had, but Cui Yue knew.

Cui Yue, who passed this meeting by forceful means, faced his first gamble since ascending to the throne.

If the results of this "World of Warcraft" are not as good as they imagined, then Cui Yue's right to speak in this European branch will be affected to a certain extent, and at that time, those people in the family who are not willing to be lonely will probably have to pick things openly and secretly.

It's just that Cui Yue's abacus is really good, but he is not the only one who can see the potential of Blizzard Entertainment. Their acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment was met with resistance from Vivendi Global Group and Blizzard Entertainment. The former is easy to say, but the latter's thoughts really make Cui Yue feel a little pulseless.

And people's resistance is so obvious, then Cui Yue can only retreat to Blizzard's proposal to exchange World of Warcraft shares for funds.

30 million US dollars, in exchange for 34% of the shares of World of Warcraft, this profit and loss was not visible at the time. Within the group, including Jason, they all believe that this operation is purely a cash burn, and Cui Yue's people are worried about it.

But the subsequent development of World of Warcraft exceeded everyone's expectations, and this financing project has also become the second highest profit point of the European division's single return, with an investment of 30 million US dollars in exchange for about 300 million US dollars in dividends per year, which is a return rate of 1,000 percent!

Even if the rate of return is so terrifying, it is ranked second, so the first can be imagined.

FaceBook, Facebook.

This name, presumably few people in the world do not know, and this is also the first case of Cui Yue's highest rate of return, this behemoth with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars, there is Cui Yue spent 280 million US dollars to buy 18% of the shares, held in the hands of a company called Longying Holdings under the European branch.

And the name Longying is purely used by Cui Yue to disgust people, thinking about the gloomy faces of Cui Baiying and Cui Bailong when they heard this name, Cui Yue was relieved.

Cui Yunhai has really stumbled a lot on them, and their ambitions are even worse than Cui Yue's, and if it weren't for the family's actions, Cui Yue must still be tempered step by step in the Cui family's family business, instead of jumping on the one-third of an acre of land in France at this moment.

It's like he's at the gate of Park Hee-hyun's spring. It's just that the person opposite has become his nominal relative.

One night plus early morning, that is, all night, a total of about ten hours, of course this group of people will not stay in the Internet café for so long, except for the first few games played, first of all, Cui Yue, who was impatient to be abused in lol, directly quit to watch the movie, leaving Xiao Wu and Park Hee Hyun and Tiffany plus two classmates who temporarily connected with them from Beihai to continue the journey of five blacks.

Ahn Hee-yeon, who was on the side, sat in front of the computer by herself, watching Tiffany shouting over there and cheering when she was taunted by the person opposite from time to time and then killed by Park Hee-hyun, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xiao Wu and Park Hee Hyun lit their cigarettes without the slightest gentlemanly demeanor, and Tiffany over there did not show any resistance, but stretched out his hand and said boldly at Xiao Wu: "Give me one too!" ”

"Aren't you a star?" Xiao Wu was a little confused.

Smoking hurts the throat, and this idol woman should know better than him, right? (To be continued.) )
