Distinctive's greed was actually stimulated by the vicious competition between Longteng and EA, and Yang Yun was not short of these millions of dollars, but he couldn't let them delay and let them ask for a sky-high price.

The next day, Jeff took the initiative to contact EA's liaison, but the other party actually said that EA had decided to abandon the acquisition of Distinctive, and the news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and Jeff could barely breathe and was dumbfounded.

And Tang also tried to contact Yang Zhan, but found that they could no longer contact each other, and the two knew that something was wrong.

Distinctive was embarrassed, and although they told the outside media that they were willing to sell the company to anyone, they didn't even get a single intention to buy it within a week.

When all the peers heard that Longteng and EA were interested in bidding, they didn't even have the idea of an offer.

Who wants to compete with these two giants?

Except for Nintendo.

But Yamauchi has long publicly stated that Nintendo will never make PC games.

Here Tang and Jeff are remorseful, but over there, Yang Yun, accompanied by EA President Larry, traveled in Canada and the United States, and did not contact Distinctive for ten days.

In order to clear up the relationship, Larry explained like this: "Yang, we EA are completely unaware of Longteng's desire to acquire Distinctive, otherwise we wouldn't have contacted them at all!" I've heard that they're not satisfied with your $12 million offer, which shows how greedy they are, and I don't think they're worth the investment. To know. My initial offer was 6 million! ”

Yang Yun smiled, not caring at all. Thanksgiving: "Larry, money is a small thing. There is not much difference between 6 million and 12 million for me. I hope that this incident will not affect our relationship! ”

Larry hahadaxiao patted Yang Yun on the shoulder, looking extremely affectionate.

Yang Yun also raised the wine in his hand and touched it with Larry.

Before piercing this piece of paper, the two were still so polite, like indestructible allies.

But the calmer they are on the surface, the clearer they are in their hearts that these are all appearances. Once the relationship between them breaks down, the two companies will definitely be good rivals for-for-tat!

In the past ten days, on the other side of the world, on the chaotic land of the Soviet Union, Alexey picked up his parents, grandparents, and three collateral relatives, a total of 18 people, and fled from the Brooklyn area on the border between Ukraine and Russia.

Alexey opened the way with dollars, and they threw away everything that was in the USSR. Came to the United States in an illegal form with loved ones.

At the KTT headquarters in New York, Alexei expressed his gratitude to Yang Yun, a strong Russian man who lost all the little money he had earned in the past two years and smuggled in. Settlement expenses, living expenses, and a relationship with the New York police. He fought alone.

Yang Yun sighed: "The rise and fall of a country is also a common thing, and you don't have to worry too much about the country and the people." We as ordinary people. The first is to live your own life first, when you have the strength and strength to spare. Then think about giving back to the motherland. If you want to open a little Alexey, you are now an American, and your relatives are looking at you as an example! ”

Alexei could afford to put it down, and soon returned to normal, and soon the two talked about the work of KTT.

These days, even if Alexey is not in the company, Yang Yun, the big boss behind the scenes, does not interfere in the work of KTT, he is just accompanied by the management personnel arranged by Jiang Shaoyun to visit the R&D center of KTT.

Men must have private money, and cunning rabbits must also have three holes.

KTT is Yang Yun's most private asset, on this shijie, only Alexei alone can prove it, even Jiang Shaoyun and Zhao Yongping They have only heard about it, but they don't know the specific situation.

Yang Yun stayed here and waited for Alexey, because he had something to explain.

"Alexey, you go to Canada as soon as possible, buy Distinctive for me, offer $5 million, acquire 100% of its shares, and restrict the personnel of their company's core R&D team from resigning at will."

Reduced from a $12 million offer to $5 million, this is Yang Yun's lesson to Distinctive!

Greed is this kind of end, obviously you can get more than 10 million at the beginning, but because of greed, it finally fell to the point where no one took over, which is not to blame anyone.

After listening to the ins and outs of Yang Yun's narration, Alexey couldn't help laughing: "Yang, are you and Larry really so harmonious?" I believe that Distinctive is definitely worth more than $5 million, obviously you are competitors, but you two can give up millions of dollars, it's funny! ”

Yang Yun smiled and nodded: "I know that you and Larry have a good relationship, in fact, I also like this person in private." But business is business, and if EA becomes a stumbling block in my path and refuses to back down, I will move him away from even the closest person. Alexey, EA will become our enemy sooner or later, don't let your personal emotions affect your own judgment! ”

Alexey said: "I understand, you are my boss!" This time, after the acquisition of Distinctive, I will send personnel to take over with Jiang Shaoyun, ostensibly by our KTT management, and I will hand over the actual control to him. ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "No, I want you to manage them. KTT is going to grow up now, and it can't hide in the shadow of our dragon and Sega. You are a local company in North America, and some things, such as mergers and acquisitions, are much more convenient to do than our China Longteng. KTT should be the leader in the future confrontation with EA, Ubisoft and other companies, do you understand what this means? ”

In this way, Yang Yun is actually cultivating an unwarranted opponent, Long Teng is the left hand, KTT is the right hand, even if there is a win or loss in the confrontation, it is all going around in Yang Yun's purse, at least on the surface, there is no confrontation between China and the United States, and it is so terrifying for Chinese companies to dominate the global game industry.

Alexei nodded: "OK, I know what to do." Mr. Yang, please be polite to me in the future, I have nothing to do with you! ”

The two of them hahadaxiao together.

In addition, Yang Yun also has an idea about the bullfrog company: "I have seen the project of Populous2, this real-time strategy game is very interesting, you can find an opportunity to propose to Pete to buy it, I like this bullfrog company, I hope he will serve us." ”

Alexei laughed: "You are the boss!" KTT accounts are sufficient, and it may not cost tens of millions of dollars to buy them! ”

Yang Yun has been in contact with Pete in the past few days, and he has not heard that EA has the idea of investing in Bullfrog, otherwise the front foot has just fought for Distinctive, and the back foot will fight for the bullfrog company, which will not look good!

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "If it weren't for your proposal to return to China, I would have almost forgotten a lot of important things." With the acquisition of 1C in Russia, I hope to get involved in the European Magic & Dungeons series, I want to get involved in the European Magic & Dungeons series, I want to get involved in racing and sports games, and I want to get involved in racing and sports games, and I want to enter real-time strategy games and other fields. Sometimes I think about it, the road we have to go is really long, and there are really too many things that I can't control! ”

Alexei heard the loneliness in Yang Yun's tone, and comforted: "Longteng has been very successful, and the development is getting better and better, as long as you don't take a fork in the road, the strongest company in the game industry in the future will be Longteng." ”

Yang Yun pouted and laughed: "Let's go, let's go see Pete, I heard that he is British, will he fly away after developing this project?" You've got to hold on to him! ”

KTT's collaboration with Bullfrog Populous2 is a sequel, but it actually has a more well-known name - "God is Crazy", which is also the famous work of Bullfrog.

The distribution company is EA, and the development team is a joint team of Bullfrog and KTT, temporarily borrowing the KTT R&D center, and Pete and a few of his young men have been borrowing here for two months.

During the time that Alexey was away from the company, everything was normal in the KTT R&D center and the progress of Populous2 was also very fast.

This game may not be played by many people, this is a game of the creation god, the player plays a creation god with boundless power, can change the terrain and weather changes, create a good living environment for his people, and through the prosperity of the people to obtain enough divine power, destroy all opponents against the god, and unify this shijie.

There are 500 levels in the game, each level represents a different range of land and the population inhabited, the player is to constantly improve his territory, reduce the enemy's territory, continue to build his territory, improve his magic power and unlock divine power.

Bullfrog's idea was a novelty, at least at the time, and Pete and his team were at the forefront of the game's ideas.

In terms of graphics processing, easy-to-learn interface design, and fun and interesting content design, Populous games have been praised by the game industry and given the highest rating, so the design of Populous2 is naturally on the agenda, and now it is almost over.

"Pete!" Alexey greeted Pete Molineux warmly, shook hands with the 32-year-old British programmer, looked at Yang Yun and asked, "Don't you need me to introduce you?" ”

"No!" Yang Yun also shook hands with Pete and said, "If you can, can you help me explain the design ideas of Populous and Powermonger in detail?" (To be continued......)
