After the Rockets won the championship, it was like a holiday, and people in Houston, a big city in the United States, celebrated, after all, it was quite a rare honor, and it was Houston's first NBA championship trophy.

In addition, Zhao Chen's position in the hearts of Houstonians has also been completely consolidated, and his series of drafts with the Rockets have been praised by Houstonians. At the same time, with this shareholder trend, Zhao Chen's comic sales in the United States began to flourish more and more, which was also his original intention to acquire Team Rocket.

Zhao Chen knows very well that if he wants to completely open up the American market, he must use the momentum of the NBA, and he is also very willing to push the NBA in the back, and as long as the Rockets win the championship, the more countries that broadcast it, the more beneficial it will be for him. With the memory in his mind, he can at least continue to maintain the peak of Team Rocket for thirty years.

In basketball, the most important thing is naturally the players, even if the coaching level is against the sky, there are no good players can not get good results, this is the same for football, but basketball is obviously more dependent on individual strength. As long as they have the information and draft numbers of future players, the Rockets can continue to be brilliant.

Of course, everyone is selfish, and players are no exception, they may be tempted by money and power to leave, or they may choose to trade because they can't get the core. In short, the current Rockets have such a group of superstar blanks, after getting the championship that each player needs most, his mind will inevitably fluctuate, and then his ambition will become bigger, and there may be a situation of leaving, after all, the share of each powerful player is not small, but it is just a matter of which is higher and which is lower, and this also requires a good coach to adjust.

However, no matter how the Rockets' players' minds change, Zhao Chen also maintains an indifferent attitude, even if there are one or two less superstar blanks, it doesn't matter, he can get more through a guò trade. What's more, these superstar blanks were still rookie contracts when they signed at the time, and even if they didn't want to release them, they could still be forced to stay for two or three years, which can be completely adapted.

After having this idea, Zhao Chen no longer paid attention to this kind of thing, and he did not return to the island country immediately, but came to a small company through guò connections.

The company, which was less than a decade old, is called Activision. is a video game developer, publisher and distributor. Future is the world's largest third-party video game developer and publisher, of course, the most widely known is not this, but the game fans know that Blizzard Entertainment is a subsidiary of Activision, of course, the current Blizzard has not yet been established.

The first product released by Activision was a video control channel designed for the Atari 2600. The Atari 2600 was a game console released by Atari in October 1977, which was all the rage at the time, becoming the representative console of the second generation of video games. Classic games include Adventure, Bumper Pinball, Blasting Comet and Pac-Man. The first true home console system in history, the Atari 2600 is basically the ancestor of modern consoles. In 1980 alone, the Atari 2600 console brought Warner a huge profit of $2 billion.

Although Activision only designed the Atari 2600's video control station, this is also quite a strong qualification. You can't do it without a high level of technology.

Before Activision was founded, video games at the time were published directly through the game design company Guò. For example, Atari is the publisher of Atari2600. This kind of sales method has caused a lot of problems for game developers, who do not get the rewards that come with blockbuster games, and they are unable to fully exploit the game's de-market value. After seeing the millions of dollars that the sellers were making into their pockets each year, some programmers decided to start their own companies to publish games.

Activision is arguably the first third-party game publisher. Its founder was Jim of the music industry? Levy, Atari's founder, David? Crain, Larry? Kaplan, Alain? Miller and Bob? Whitehead. Each of them holds a certain amount of shares in the company, but the ones who hold the most are undoubtedly Jim Levi and David Crain, who occupy the majority of Activision's shares.

Although Activision was the first third-party game publisher, each partner also had some connections to a greater or lesser extent. But after several years of development, the current speed of Activision's development is unexpectedly slow. This also leads Activision to be a small company in the past few years.

Zhao Chen's purpose in coming to Activision is very simple, needless to say, he wants to acquire Activision, which is currently in an embarrassing position. The reason why he chose Activision is mainly because he likes Activision's technology, and he also has a large game manufacturer like Sega, which can be jointly sold with Activision, and the effect will be better when the time comes.

Of course, Zhao Chen is not a saint. If you ask yourself, he completely sees that there are a group of professional technical talents under Activision, and this group of talents is the foundation for the formation of Blizzard Entertainment, the future Blizzard Entertainment can be said to be the most famous computer game developer, and its Warcraft series, Diablo series, StarCraft series and World of Warcraft series can be described as quite crazy in later generations. As long as this kind of company is properly formed, coupled with the relevant sales channels in their own hands, the combination of the two will generate tens of billions of dollars in profits, as long as there is information about this, which traverser will be stupid enough not to go to the after-sales service, it is impossible to think about it.

After Zhao Chen arrived, he met Activision's current president, Jim Levi, who was originally mixed in the American music industry, but may have been limited by fame, and instead formed Activision with several partners.

Before coming, Zhao Chen had already asked his subordinates to prepare the current development of Activision. Although it is the first third-party game publisher, most game companies ignore it, and can only rely on a few people's connections to maintain the company's development, which gives Zhao Chen the opportunity and reason to acquire Activision.

Although the partners were united when they founded Activision, and all of them had great ambitions, after so many years, the slow development of Activision made them disheartened and had the idea of selling their shares.

After receiving the news of Zhao Chen's visit, Jim Levi can be said to be bright-eyed. There was a turning point in his heart all of a sudden, but he knew quite well that Zhao Chen had a large game company like Sega under him. But in the same way, from the very beginning, Jim Levi would have been mistaken, thinking that Zhao Chen had come here to find Activision, a third-party game publisher for Sega's games. Sega is now one of the biggest gaming companies in the world. If it is a cooperation, the profit can be imagined, and it can completely make Activision turn over and become bigger and stronger.

It's a pity that in the conversation with Zhao Chen, Jim Levi was obviously disappointed, only to learn that Zhao Chen only wanted to acquire Activision this time, which was his wishful thinking.

But despite this, Jim Levi still warmly entertained Zhao Chen, and from the perspective of his own interests, it is a good thing to befriend Zhao Chen. If Zhao Chen is among his partners, then it is a great thing. At that time, Activision's current situation will be turned upside down. The pace of development is also far from comparable.

The two sides can be said to have a deep relationship, because it is related to their own interests, they do not want to take the initiative to back down for a while. For Zhao Chen, he is not bad for money, but what he wants is obviously all the shares of Activision, after all, Activision is different from Microsoft, Nike, Apple and other companies, and the gap in scale is not small, and it is because of this that he thinks he has the opportunity to buy the entire Activision. Instead of a portion of the equity, Activision's development potential is placed there. Even if it costs a little more, he doesn't care.

However, it is obvious that the other party will not agree for a while, this is also an opportunity for the other party, and he naturally hopes to be able to control a part of the shares and take Zhao Chen's free ride.

So in the end, there was no tangible result for either side. Zhao Chen is not disappointed with this kind of thing, how can everything in this world fluctuate because of your personal thoughts, people's hearts are really difficult to grasp, especially when it comes to interests. However, after talking, Zhao Chen also got some insider relationships from Jim Levy's mouth. And this inside information can undoubtedly bring huge help to the acquisition of Activision.

Due to Activision's slow development in recent years, except for Jim Levi, several other shareholders are more or less fluctuating and want to sell Activision's shares, but because they still have a glimmer of hope, they did not make such a move.

And this undoubtedly gave Zhao Chen the opportunity to acquire Activision, that is, to break through one by one and acquire the shares in their hands.

Of course, in the end, he has to acquire the shares in the hands of Jim Levi, in this case, Zhao Chen will naturally not be stupid to use his identity on the face to acquire other shareholders, he only needs to establish a shell company, and then find an agent to carry it out, and then it will be a water mill, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to acquire Activision, after all, Activision is not the only third-party game publisher.

After the arrangement, Zhao Chen did not continue to stay in the United States, but came to Xiangjiang, the villa where he usually lives in Xiangjiang is No. 2 Repulse Bay Road, and this time he asked the bodyguard to drive to the luxury villa next to it, which is No. 1 Repulse Bay Road.

Zhao Chen's return to Xiangjiang this time is mainly to meet with a person, as long as he gets the introduction of this person, he will be able to start the next acquisition plan smoothly, and this person is the owner of Repulse Bay Road Villa No. 1 - gambling king He Hongshen!

This Australian gambling king has a lot of real estate in Xiangjiang, and in terms of luxury properties alone, he holds mansions located at No. 4 Repulse Bay Road, No. 3 Repulse Bay Road, No. 1 Repulse Bay Road, Jardine's Hills, Cooper Road, No. 2 Heung Island Road and No. 1 May Road, which can be seen in his assets. Of course, if it is really compared to assets, the current Zhao Chen will not only not be worse than He Gambling King, but also more abundant.

Before coming, Zhao Chen got the news of He Gambling King from Shao Tycoon's mouth, and He Gambling King happened to be running errands in Xiangjiang, and the place of residence was No. 1 Repulse Bay Road. Don't look at No. 1 Repulse Bay Road, which is not the largest area, and perhaps not the most luxurious villa under it, but every time the gambling king comes to Xiangjiang, he usually lives at No. 1 Repulse Bay Road, because it is a status symbol in high society. Just look at Zhao Chen, he has more villas in Xiangjiang than He Gambling King, all of which were purchased at a low price from the turmoil in the past few years, but he usually basically lives at No. 2 Repulse Bay Road, after all, this is the residential area of the top rich, symbolizing status, and the number Echizen identity is often the most noble. If it weren't for the fact that He Gambling King didn't think about selling No. 1 Repulse Bay Road back then, Zhao Chen really wanted to buy it, after all, he was more worthy of his identity.

There is no way, ordinary people really don't understand the minds of the rich, as the saying goes, different levels will have different grades. Rich people have no worries about food and clothing, and the most important thing they usually care about is often face-saving things. Therefore, this kind of external things that are easy to represent identity have become the first choice, and it is no wonder that the prices of top villas and top luxury cars will remain high. Not only because they are not bad for money, but there are also many people who want to step into the upper class of society and desperately want to get in.

Although Zhao Chen and He Gambling King have also met a few times, and they have been friends for a long time, if Zhao Chen does not meet him, He Gambling King will still entertain Zhao Chen. But the treatment is another matter, and there is a possibility that the plan will fail.

But fortunately, the relationship between Zhao Chen and Shao Daheng is quite good. And Shao Tycoon has a bad relationship with He Gambling King, and He Gambling King's daughter He Chaoqiong works in Shao Tycoon's wireless TV station, and the relationship between the two parties can be seen.

So with the reception of Shao Daheng, Zhao Chen's grasp was much greater.

He Gambling King also knew that Zhao Chen would come to visit today, so after making preparations, he prepared a luxurious banquet in advance and asked the chef to be on call at any time.

There is no room for the gambling king not to make these preparations. After all, both he and Zhao Chen are top rich. Although the two seem to be at the same level, the gambling king is already in the twilight, but Zhao Chen is full of tide, coupled with the influence, fame and development potential are all subordinate, and he can't tolerate the gambling king not to be grand.

The current gambling king is over sixty years old, and he has long lost the energy of his youth, not to mention that it is only a matter of time before Australia returns, he is afraid that he will not be there at that time. I am afraid that the qualifications of the juniors are not enough. If there is something to ask for, you can also let it help, and you are willing to make friends.

The two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts. It is to be quite enthusiastic when they meet, and use various topics to climb relationships.

"Mr. Zhao, don't say anything else, if you need it in the future, just come and find it!" After three rounds of drinking, the arrogance of the gambling king came up. Also before Zhao Chen came, he also got some information from Shao Daheng more or less. That's why I say that.

"Mr. He, I really need your help this time!"

"Mr. Zhao said that as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

"I heard that the Australian TV station founded last year has suffered a lot of losses, and I mainly hope to buy the Australian TV station this time, but only Mr. He can help with this kind of matter related to the authorities."

Zhao Chen was not sloppy. Rather, it is to reveal the purpose of one's own coming.

Australian TV only officially started broadcasting last year, and it broadcasts about 40 hours of TV every week from 6 p.m. to around 11 p.m. every night. The format is one time in Cantonese and one time in Portuguese. One for brief news and one for detailed news. Portuguese subtitles for news broadcasts in Cantonese; When broadcasting news in Portuguese, it is accompanied by Chinese subtitles. The sports program is interspersed with commentary in two languages. English TV shows with Chinese and Portuguese subtitles.

However, perhaps due to the Portuguese language, the ratings of Australian TV have been quite sluggish, not much better than when it first aired. Just like this year, the advertising fee income of radio and television companies is only nearly 5 million patacas. However, the annual expenditure reached 40 million patacas, which was quite a huge loss, and the Portuguese government/government officials had the idea of giving up.

Of course, ideas are ideas, but after all, this is a TV station founded by Australia itself, and the Portuguese government has invested a lot, so it is naturally impossible to abandon it in just one year, and they naturally have hope in their hearts, hoping that Australian TV stations can be reborn, and they will naturally have merits at that time.

It can be said that this kind of thing is more complicated, if Zhao Chen goes to talk to the Portuguese government/government in person, there will definitely be only one way to fail, and I am afraid that there is no room for negotiation. But He gambling king is different, he is not only the richest man in Australia, but also runs a casino in Australia, and there will naturally be the shadow of the Portuguese government/government behind him.

For the current Portuguese government/government, Australian TV is simply a piece of heart, and they may not have expected that the loss just invested would be so large. Judging from the current trend, if you want to make Australia TV profitable, it is impossible in the short term without special means. At that time, as long as He Gambling King says a few words, coupled with Zhao Chen's own influence, it is likely that the two sides will hit it off, and the possibility of acquisition is not small.

It was not until 1989 that Ausa Television began accepting private shares. Aomen Radio and Television Co., Ltd. was established, and the company's board of directors managed the television station. Although the advertising revenue of the TV station was increasing, the advertising revenue at that time was reached

4 times in 1988, but the loss situation has not changed. In other words, it is impossible to make a profit, at least in the last few years.

But handing it over to Zhao Chen is another matter, with Zhao Chen's background, it will be completely possible to reform the Australian TV station at that time, and specialize in broadcasting the animation of the World Society, and then it will be a different scene.

For him, the TV station has now become the most important thing, he is naturally quite concerned, as long as the TV station is acquired, his animation empire can be said to be completely established, and when the time comes, with the help of the TV station, its animation will also have a greater reputation, and it can be said that all aspects will be made corresponding progress, and the relationship of interests can be described as quite heavy, and Zhao Chen cannot be allowed not to acquire.
