Chapter 976: The global gaming market is unified

"In this era, there are still people who use small paper envelopes to send oral messages, it seems that Lao Cao is still a very traditional and nostalgic person!"

Yang Yun smiled and took the message handed over by Okawa Nanase, but after reading the content, he couldn't cry or laugh: "This guy! Isn't it just envy that I have a beautiful wife and a beautiful daughter! Do you want to use this as a threat to force me to meet and negotiate? Hmph, I don't want to see each other, tomorrow I'll take my daughter to Cannes to see what he does with me! ”

Okawa Nanase looked at Yang Yun gently, and did not refuse at all: "Go ahead, Iko has never had such a good time, and the negotiation will be left to me and the team." ”

Yang Yun was stunned for a moment, the softest place in his heart was touched again, he sighed, took Okawa Nanase's hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, after this negotiation is successful, it will almost be over, and I will have more time to accompany you." ”

Okawa Nanase leaned over, kissed Yang Yun's face, hugged his waist, rested his head on his shoulder, and said faintly: "I can understand, I have always understood ...... all these years"

"You dare to threaten me, you can't be cheap Cao Kairui, this kid, tomorrow you want 20% more, Microsoft sells Xbox360, Blackstone Group takes over, I won't provide games to them if I don't give me benefits!" Yang Yun patted his thigh and said viciously, knowing that he was telling a joke, or that the Okawa Nanase in his arms was trembling with laughter.

The Christmas holiday is also a matter of a week or two, Yang Yun enjoyed a full week of father-daughter parent-child vacation, which greatly increased the relationship between father and daughter, and Okawa Nanase also negotiated the cooperation at work for him perfectly.

Before leaving Nice, Yang Yun finally showed up. Met with these people.

Except for the only one present, his tanned skin was a little dark and refreshed. Except for the energetic spirits, everyone else looked tired. Any business negotiation involving billions of dollars is definitely not something that can be resolved lightly in a few words, and this Christmas has no holiday, and it has almost become a tragic battlefield of tug-of-war between hundreds of people.

"Yang, I hope you treat the Xbox360 well...... This pins a lot of hope on me...... "Bill Gates was still a little sad, he held Yang Yun's hand and didn't let it go for a long time.

Yang Yun disagreed: "Please! In exchange, I donate $5 billion to your Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as if you've suffered a big loss! ”

"But the $5 billion donation doesn't belong to me. It is still accumulated in the fund pool in your name, and the future income is still yours. Bill Gates shrugged.

This sentence is still like human words, and Yang Yun smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that no one around him noticed them, Bill Gates squeezed his eyes, revealing a sly gaze: "With your $5 billion as the standard, I made a phone call to Buffett, and he decided to donate 10 billion to my foundation!" ”

"I'm going to call him too, donating at least 5 billion to my Longteng Charity Foundation! The Chinese have a saying, meet in half! Yang Yun really took out the phone. Call Buffett, this do-it-do style made Bill Gates laugh non-stop.

The time is wrong, it's late at night in the United States, and Yang Yun is actually just putting on a show. The call didn't go out at all.

"The thinking of the Chinese is really interesting!" Bill Gates said this sentence with a smile and smiled at Yang Yun.

In the United States, there is a complicated and cumbersome list of taxes. The rules for inheritance tax are very strict.

When the estate exceeds $2.5 million, it is levied at 50%. Super-rich people like Warren Buffett are all close to 80 years old. Bill Gates is 53 years old, and if he gets pancreatic cancer one day, no matter how much money he has, he can't buy his life back.

Therefore, these super-rich people have been particularly keen on philanthropy in the last decade, and like to donate their assets to charitable foundations in their names, which is the best way to preserve the value of their assets and pass them on to future generations, and even increase in value.

Yang Yun is the same, although he is not yet 40 years old, in good health, the Chinese government is a mess in the tax rate, in 2008 there was no such thing as inheritance tax, but once the policy changes, it will be too late to regret it, and it will be too late to do anything, he himself knows quite well that China's inheritance tax began to be mentioned in 2013, and he cannot escape.

In addition, Longteng has many branches around the world, and he must pay complex taxes and fees all over the world, he must look at this problem with a forward-looking vision, and he is also ready to take the charity train in advance.

As a typical Chinese, Yang Yun certainly will not trust anyone, he donated $5 billion to Bill Gates's foundation, one in exchange for Microsoft's letting go of Xbox 360, the other to put his $5 billion assets in Microsoft's basket, buy friendship with Bill Gates and Buffett, let himself successfully enter the circle of Bill Gates and Buffett, and third, let the Longteng Charity Foundation get the attention and commitment of the world's richest people, killing multiple birds with one stone.

The second person I saw was Cao Kairui, Yang Yun held a champagne glass, touched Cao Kairui lightly, and then walked to a remote corner and chatted.

Cao Kairui cheered up, took a sip of champagne and said: "Blackstone Group completely ate BlackBerry and Xbox 360, costing 6.4 billion US dollars, this is our largest investment in the past three years, Mr. Yang, Brother Yang, Yang Yingying, Blackstone Group will rely on you in the future!" ”

Yang Yun laughed: "Only give me 30%, and you want me to fully release the game supply, how can there be such a good thing?" Don't! ”

Cao Kairui knows that this is just a joke, the contract has been signed, the official seal of Longteng has legal effect, after Xbox360 changes hands, the services provided by Longteng must be realized one by one, it is definitely not that Yang Yun said that he would not give it, and the details of the contract that the lawyer team of Blackstone Group worked overtime for three days and four nights to finalize, how could it leave a loophole?

"Big brother, you didn't pay for it, and you didn't come forward, I tried my best to persuade the board of directors to give 30% to you, you can't cheat me like this, right?" Cao Kairui's face was resentful, and he was as aggrieved as he was.

Yang Yun couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yang for a while, and then call Brother Brother for a while, I can't figure out what I call myself, Lao Cao, you are old, your memory is declining, you, the position of the president of Blackstone Group Asia, can sit in my security guard downstairs!" ”

The two chatted, and Yang Yun waved his hand by the way, calling Zhongshan Hayabusa, who was frequently looking this way.

President Zhongshan, an evergreen tree in the game industry, walked over, and the strong body of the 70-year-old made the two young people in their 40s ashamed of themselves, Yang Yun toasted him and said: "President Zhongshan, we will all cooperate sincerely in the future!" ”

Zhongshan Hayabusa blinked, and clinked glasses with Cao Kairui and Yang Yun: "It's the world of young people now!" ”

Cao Kairui raised his glass and smiled: "It's Mr. Yang's world!" ”

At the moment when Blackstone Group really acquired the Xbox 360 game division, Yang Yun really put down a super-large stone in his heart.

The three major TV game consoles that occupy 99.99% of the market share in the world were finally taken down by him alone, completing the substantive monopoly.

But the Xbox360 is based on the Microsoft operating system, which is jointly invested by the Blackstone Group and Longteng Offshore Company, and NewSonic uses the Android operating system, which is nominally controlled by Hayabusa Nakayama, and these are all deliberate decisions made by Yang Yun, who must artificially divide a small part of the market in order to avoid antitrust investigations in countries around the world.

Even if the Japanese government has a little resource for NewSonic, Blackstone Group and Microsoft can continue to influence Xbox360, and it will not have much impact on Yang Yun, a Longteng TV game console that almost monopolizes the resources of the world's game production and supporting companies.

February 7, 2008 is the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rat, and after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Chinese enterprises are really operating normally.

On the last day of February, Blackstone Group also announced the acquisition of BlackBerry Smartphone Company and the overall takeover of Microsoft's game division, which shocked the global IT industry!

Just when shareholders frantically sold Microsoft's valuation and Microsoft's office phones were almost blown up, Bill Gates held a regular press conference, and the special guest turned out to be Yang Yun from China, and signed a cash check for $5 billion on the spot and donated it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Charity Foundation!

This news almost made everyone in the IT world fall through their glasses!

"Is there any mistake? Aren't Dragon and Microsoft bitter enemies? Yang Yun will donate to Bill Gates! ”

"Incredible, incredible! A $5 billion cash check, no, no, no, it's absolutely impossible, as a private Asian game company that has never been listed, they are the same as Nintendo back then, they are adhering to the business philosophy of cash first, and it is absolutely impossible to draw $5 billion in cash! ”

"Even if it's $5 billion in stock, what's the difference? We only saw the scene of Yang Yun and Bill Gates shaking hands intimately, and the world has really changed a lot! ”

When the IT industry is noisy and rumors about the relationship between Longteng and Microsoft are flying all over the sky, the financial and business circles of Lujiazui in Shanghai and the R&D base of Longteng in Shanghai are in full swing.

More than 140 people from three financial teams from New York, Hong Kong and Paris, senior lawyers, senior auditors, accountants, investment managers, and financial industry elites from all over the world have been working since before Christmas last year, and have been busy for four months, and finally completed the in-depth reform of the Longteng Charitable Foundation before April 1.
