Chapter 172: Cui Zhengyuan's Thoughts [Send it early, ask for a monthly pass]

(Thanks to Ruthless Yu, Kiki Pseudo-Niang, Azure Night Owl Jun, Chery Big Bar Master, Xiaobei Parallel Goods, and Anhao Dragon Set Man for their rewards, it's been updated early!! )

Although Blizzard is not large, it has only been established for a few years. But the few games it launched have achieved good results. In the entire gaming world, it is also well-known.

The main thing is that this company is not independent. Behind it is an incomparably powerful company relative to Choi Jung-won, Vivendi Group.

If Blizzard is just a newborn, then Vivendi is a behemoth. At least two million dollars in front of it is not a drop in the bucket.

Bob reacted the situation back to South Korea, and Choi was also surprised.

He is not a game fan, and his knowledge of Blizzard is still based on the later super game "Warcraft Shijie". As for the other entanglements, I don't know about it.

This is difficult, I thought that what I was about to pick was a pink fresh fruit. Who knew that the camouflage had faded, but it was a boulder as heavy as Mount Tai.

But Cui Zhengyuan was very unwilling, he knew how much profit Blizzard would create later. Jin Shan is right in front of him, and it really can't be justified for him to give up without working hard.

So, Choi told Bob to follow up and see if there was any chance. Anyway, this money is not much, it is just a temporary initiative of him, and it will not have any impact on Jihua.

Not to mention, the hard work paid off, and with Bob's dedication, he really found an opportunity.

It turned out that Vivendi Group seemed to be strong, but at this time it encountered operational difficulties. By 2001, Vivendi's liabilities had reached a staggering 15 billion euros.

Due to the poor flow of funds, Vivendi Group has already decided to abandon Blizzard.

Gain, a game company, is not very optimistic about its profitability at the moment. The online game, which is still being studied, is rapidly devouring huge amounts of money like a giant beast. Relying solely on the production of stand-alone games, it is impossible to break even.

In the hope of what happened, Bob contacted the Vivendi Group. Discuss the acquisition of Blizzard.

The Vivendi Group is struggling with its huge debts and is planning to shed some of its baggage to slim down.

It's just that Blizzard's future is uncertain and there is no prospect in sight, so no one cares about it at all, and it is likely to rot in his hands.

At this time, Bob came to the door, which was tantamount to a timely rain.

The two sides hit it off and reached an agreement after only a few rounds of bargaining.

In this way, Cui Zhengyuan bought the shares of Blizzard held by the Vivendi Group for $2.15 million.

became the largest shareholder of this game company that would become popular all over the world in the future, and Cui Zhengyuan could wake up with a smile even from a dream. Poor Vivendi group. In the future, some regret taking the medicine.

Cui Zhengyuan knew that he didn't have the talent to play games, so it was not good to interfere with the normal operation of the company. Just held a video conference call to let Blizzard's original personnel do their own work, and said that they would not interfere with the company's operations without authorization.

At the same time, two million dollars were allocated as follow-up development funds for "Warcraft Shijie".

With the injection of funds, Blizzard has also stabilized. They don't care who the boss is, as long as someone provides the funds to keep the development of the game going.

Afterwards, Cui Zhengyuan will also feel lucky.

Soon after. Blizzard's classic single-player game, Warcraft 3, which has been in development for several years, will be released. The popularity caused by this game is no worse than the later "Warcraft Shijie".

Since then, Blizzard has become profitable, revealing the demeanor of Shijie's largest game company.

This is his chance to win Blizzard's zuihou. When that time comes, Vivendi Group will say that it will not sell the golden eggs in its hands.

A Blizzard company will let five million dollars be spent.

With hundreds of thousands of dollars left, Cui Zhengyuan asked Bob to help him collect two people. Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin, respectively.

According to the information he provided, the two men are currently students at Harvard University. So, Bob found it easily.

Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin were just freshmen entering college. Because I am very interested in the Internet, I often study some strange things and post them on the Internet for fun.

When Bob sent the creative materials provided by Choi Jung-won to the duo, they became extremely interested.

Although they didn't know how much wealth the idea could bring, the sense of accomplishment of developing a new thing alone made the two agree to Bob's invitation without hesitation.

Choi Jung-won invested Zuihou's funds for the two to develop the idea. Later, the idea became popular all over the world, and his name was Facebook.

Compared with Blizzard, Choi Jung-won undoubtedly attaches more importance to Facebook. It's just that the current Internet jishu is not mature, and there is no place for this software to be developed. That's why he will first invest most of the funds in the acquisition of Blizzard, and when he has the funds later, he will slowly decide the direction of use.

Cui Zhengyuan has great ambitions, and according to his expectations, he will rely on Facebook and gradually derive a series of online and mobile social platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, and completely occupy the market in the entire related field.

These things can not only bring him rich financial returns, but also provide a guaranteed channel for foreign communication for his artists.

When the artists of other companies are still working hard for the sake of publicity channels, the artists in their hands will occupy people's field of vision. Isn't it just the popularity of advertisers and sponsors?

Choi Jung-won abandoned Zuckerberg, the central figure of Facebook, or never thought about this legend in the first place.

In his opinion, Zuckerberg is too unruly to manage.

Anyway, the whole idea is on its own, and as long as the two jishu cores of Andrew McCollum and Eduardo Saverin are grasped, the future of Facebook will not be too far off.

Although hundreds of thousands of dollars are a drop in the bucket for Facebook's overall operation. But fortunately, it is only in the research and development stage, and the amount of funds used is not large. After a while, his funds will gradually become abundant. Successive capital injections are.

After completing all the tasks assigned by Choi Jung-won, Bob naturally had to go to South Korea to meet his customers.

He had to hand over all the contract documents to Cui Zhengyuan and ask him to sign them before they could take effect. This business is only over, and he can get the commission he deserves.

Who would have thought that as soon as he got off the plane, he got the bad news that Cui Zhengyuan was injured and hospitalized.

For this, he had to stay in South Korea for fifteen days. It wasn't until today that Cui Zhengyuan came back to work that the two of them saw each other.

Choi Jung-won knew that Bob had a lot of other work going on at the same time. This time it was really delaying people's work, so I apologized in every possible way and signed all the agreements as quickly as possible. I kindly instructed the assistant. Bob bought a ticket back to the U.S. that day.

Originally, he wanted to entertain this dutiful dude, but who knew that Bob said to him in a disdainful tone: Brother is up and down hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute, can he be delayed casually?

Cui Zhengyuan was very disdainful of Bob's big words. Don't say hundreds of thousands, it's millions, tens of millions, and the money is not yours.

It looks like a beautiful scenery, but it's just a passing God of Wealth, so why bother so hard.

Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan braked in time, so he couldn't say this. Otherwise, Bob took it to heart. If this attitude is also adopted for his investment, Cui Zhengyuan will have no place to cry.

After signing all the agreements, I watched as Bob carefully sorted out every bit of paperwork and put it into a package.

Choi Jung-won remembered something. "Bob, are you interested in starting a manager business by yourself?" ”

It's not something he just said, but he does have that idea.

As his business grew, he invested more and more. It is necessary to have a dedicated manager agency to take care of him.

The Colombian investment consortium that Bob currently works for is strong and reputable. But behind the scenes, it has a deep connection with Columbia Pictures.

Columbia Pictures is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment.

For this opponent who is both cooperative and competitive, Cui Zhengyuan is very jealous.

Although Soda Green Investment Company is registered in French Guiana under a different name, there will always be inextricable clues that can contact him. It doesn't matter if it's small now, but Choi Jung-won believes that it will shine sooner or later.

If Sony finds out about this situation, and the manager in charge of managing it is still an employee of the other party, then the result is hilarious.

Cui Zhengyuan was struggling, and he was very careful with every step. Since Bob's ability is good, then he has to find a way to pry it for his own use.

If this American refuses to give up his future in Columbia, then Cui Zhengyuan will have to consider changing the candidate and killing people. Until there is enough liliang, he will not leave any clues for his opponent.

Bob's hand in collecting the papers stopped, and he turned his head to look at Choi Jung-won suspiciously, wondering if he would suddenly talk about this. He is just a small investment manager, and it is impossible to understand the contradiction between the upper echelons and Cui Zhengyuan.

"Cui, do you have this kind of thought?" If you don't understand, you have to ask, Bob inherited the fine rigor of his ancestors, the Germans.

Choi Jung-won spread out his hands and parted outwards. "Bob, what do you think of my company? Or do you think it has the potential to grow bigger and bigger? ”

"It's very good, and when I walked in, I felt that its owner was alive and that it must be an amazing guy in the future." Bob said honestly.

Every employee here looks hurried and has an enthusiastic temperament. It shows that the company's condition and atmosphere are good, and it is in a stage of rapid development. Everyone can see a promising future and be motivated.

Bob has been investing for so long, and certainly knows how to assess the potential of a business in the subtle ways.

"Yes, it's good, and the future must be bright. But" Bob's tone changed, causing Cui Zhengyuan's nerves to tighten.

"Cui, no matter how good its future is, it is only a Korean company. It didn't really help me to make a big impact on the U.S. investment market. Bob pointed out the problem and said it unceremoniously.

Choi Jung-won smiled, stood up and walked over to Bob's side. Pull him to the floor-to-ceiling windows and let him look out into the courtyard shrouded in vibrant plants. "You also said that this company will get better and better. So as its owner, will I be worth more and more? I need a professional investment advisor to manage my finances, and I feel you are the best fit. How's that, Bob, come and do something for me. You are the person in charge of the soda green company, and I will give you 25% of the shares, how about it? ”

With a grunt, Bob's Adam's apple slid hard.

People who run around Wall Street every day want to own their own investment company.

Just like now, he stood comfortably in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, directing many of his men to run errands.

That's the life of a successful financial person, like my current self, who has to fly from New York to Seoul for a $5 million business.

There is no doubt that Cui Zhengyuan's words really moved him. "Cui, give me a little time, let me think about it, how about it?"

As long as his psychology is loose, Cui Zhengyuan believes that he will make any choice. "Of course, man. But I hope I'll hear your answer in the affirmative when I go to the United States. ”

Bob went back the same day, with the signing of the haode contract and a full stomach.

That heart is a full seed, which will definitely take root and sprout under the catalysis of Cui Zhengyuan until it finally grows.

And at that time, Cui Zhengyuan will also gain a capable subordinate to add a bargaining chip to the confrontation with Sony.

He is too weak now, and a still developing A.P company and the initial C.J group are simply not enough to compete with Sony. He desperately wants to pile up enough liliang, even if he can't counterattack Sony, he must be able to protect himself.

Fortunately, his real background is poor, and he has always grown up in adversity. The psychological qualities are definitely strong enough not to panic because of difficulties. On the contrary, whenever he encounters such an opponent, he feels excitement from the bottom of his heart.

He will study how to strengthen himself and find the enemy's weaknesses, give the opponent a fatal blow, and finally achieve victory.

Masaya Tachimi, who was far away in Japan, didn't know what kind of terrible opponent he had found for himself.

He thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that his opponent is watching him like a poisonous snake in the dark.
