When he saw Jiang Shaoyun, Yang Yun looked tired, he flew around the earth once in a week, the jet lag was disordered, and he was constantly thinking and using his brain, his heart and body were a little tired.

"Mr. Yang, 16 have returned, and 4 have been detained." Jiang Shaoyun was worried, "Three are the most core programmers, and one is estimated to want to stay in the United States and don't want to go back." ”

Yang Yun waved his hand: "If you don't come back, don't force it, if you can't be loyal to your heart, how can you expect him to be loyal to the company and the country?" The people who called them back came over and I asked about the situation. ”

It's a pity that there are only 10 employees in the two sports game departments of EA Sports and EA Athletic, and the core is really the 3 employees who have not returned, and these three are developing EA's FIFA football, and the chess piece he buried three years ago was stuck in a zuihou level!

it! Back then, when the free delivery of employees and the competition for EA-Sports were not just fancy the sports games of EA? FIFA football, NFL football, NBA basketball, PGA golf, NHL hockey, NASCAR racing, these are all popular sports type games.

The seeds planted by Yang Yun three years ago will fall short when it is time to harvest?

"Mr. Jiang!" The secretary knocked on the door and said nervously, "EA's Probst President is calling......"

Seeing Yang Yun nodding, Jiang Shaoyun said, "Take it in!" ”

Larry's voice came quickly: "Jiang, we haven't sat down and chatted together for a long time, have we?" ”

Jiang Shaoyun didn't speak, Yang Yun took over and said, "Larry, I'm Yang Yun." Why don't you come to New York and I invite you to afternoon tea? ”

There was silence on the phone. But soon burst into hearty laughter: "It turns out that Yang is also there!" No problem, I'll ask someone to book a ticket. See you tomorrow! ”

Larry is coming to New York tomorrow, and this is the second move between EA and Dragon.

The next day, Larry came to Longteng's North American branch with his secretary and lawyer, but saw Old Parker, Alexey, Jiang Shaoyun and Yang Yun greet him at the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the large conference room, the two sides involuntarily sat in a 3v3 formation, leaving an old Parker sandwiched in the middle as a referee.

Yang Yun smiled: "Larry." It's rare for me to come to New York, so I invited Alexei and Parker over to catch up, you wouldn't mind, would you? ”

Larry smiled, "How could I mind? The last time I saw Parker was in 1990 when it was rumored that Longteng had closed down and gone bankrupt. At that time, the three of us flew from all over the country to Jiang to verify the situation as soon as possible, and we were very nervous. ”

Alexei and Parker laughed, at that time, the three of them didn't know Yang Yun's real Jihua, even Jiang Shaoyun only got Yang Yun's password, and they didn't know anything about Long Teng's secret acquisition of Sega, of course they were very nervous. I'm afraid that Longteng will go bankrupt.

Yang Yun sighed: "It was the most difficult moment for Longteng, if it weren't for Larry, Old Parker, and Alexey. If it weren't for the three of you to lend me money, Longteng might not have been able to achieve the scale it is now! ”

After speaking, he folded his hands and bowed to a few people present. "I am very grateful for the help they gave me back then. ”

Jiang Shaoyun also sighed: "In a blink of an eye, three and a half years have passed." Time flies! ”

Old Parker chimed in and exclaimed, "Yes, time flies. My old Parker was three years older. ”

Alexei also laughed: "What hasn't changed may be the personal relationship between all of us, I have met with Larry often in the past few years, and I miss the days when I played Nintendo and Konami together." ”

Larry laughed dryly, he realized that something was wrong, today it seems to be playing the emotional card, taking the nostalgic route, and it seems to remind the intimacy of the four companies of EA, KTT, Longteng, and Parker Brothers.

Back then, it was back then, and it was possible for KTT to snatch Contra from Nintendo Konami, and then EA released it, and Dragon Production, but not now.

Yang Yun was also secretly watching this scene, he knew that your uncle was no longer the uncle of the past, and everyone sitting here had changed a lot compared to three and a half years ago.

Parker Brothers has been under a lot of pressure lately, because of the stagnation of the Dragon cards, Hasbro has put a lot of pressure on them, and there have been rumors within the Parker family that the company will be sold, leaving Parker old physically and mentally exhausted, he is indeed too old to do anything.

Since EA went public in 1990, it has received two rounds of financing, and in each round of financing, Wall Street's venture capital groups will increase some of their controlling shares, while Larry's management shares will shrink a little, and EA is moving towards mature capital operation and slowly become a puppet of Wall Street.

EA's expansion route is very obvious, and if they see which company has a promising future, they will negotiate an acquisition.

In the past, they were looking for their own target objects, but since they have Longteng, their work has become much easier, follow the footsteps of Longteng, which company Longteng fancies, they will follow and rob, and if they can't grab it, they will grab similar companies, they have become accustomed to using money to expand their strength.

Without Yang Yun, EA would not hesitate to acquire Distinctive, and then develop Need for Speed a few years later.

If there is no Yang Yun, Bullfrog will also be in the pocket of EA.

If there was no Yang Yun, EA would have acquired Ximutou Company in 1998, but Ximutou was defeated by Longteng, and no one dared to take over, and EA certainly didn't look down on this mess.

As for Blizzard, in real history, Blizzard was acquired by Xuele Mountain, and then transferred to Vivendi Group, and then became independent on its own, and the whole process has nothing to do with EA.

But because of Yang Yun, EA took the lead and acquired the original team of Blizzard, and it is very likely that in the future, the name Blizzard will not appear.

Fate plays tricks on people like this, Yang Yun cut off several of EA's arms, but fate gave EA a thicker thigh, and in the process of grabbing the thigh, there was an almost irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides.

Today, Yang Yun invited Parker and Alexey, just to try to see if they can break up peacefully.

As a result, Larry came with a lawyer and a secretary, and maybe even the property division agreement had been drafted and was waiting for Yang Yun to sign it.

Larry slowly put away his smile, Yang Yun and the three stopped laughing, and Parker sat in the middle, very embarrassed: "You guys, shouldn't you have a good talk?" Talk calmly? ”

Larry said calmly, "Then talk calmly." Yang, the board of directors of the company already knows about the mass resignation of Chinese employees, maybe you should give me an explanation and let me go back so that I can deal with the angry directors? ”

Yang Yun shrugged: "Those employees are my people, as we noted in the agreement we signed back then, they joined EA in the form of jishu exchanges, and even the wages were paid by me, they are not EA employees, how can they resign?" ”

Larry complained: "Although the employer is you, they have undertaken the research and development of several important projects of EA, and they have not even completed the handover of work, and left quietly, is it too unreasonable to do so?" ”

Yang Yun sneered: "Unreasonable? Does EA Athletics make sense? ”

Not to be outdone, Larry said: "EA Athletics is a board decision!" ”

Yang Yun-for-tat: "Leaving EA is their personal decision!" ”

“Stop！” Seeing that the two sides were about to scold each other, Parker, who didn't know the truth, quickly stood up and stopped the two: "Larry, Yun, I don't know what's going on, but this is not a 1V1 game of Three Kingdoms, it's not as simple as killing and flashing." Can you speak as calmly as you can for the sake of my old Parker's face? ”

Larry said irritably: "I can't calm down, the EA board of directors has made a decision, no matter what the reason for this resignation, these employees will receive a court summons, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave the country smoothly!" ”

"What!" The crowd was shocked.

Alexei exclaimed: "How can it be that it will make trouble in the court? ”

Larry snorted, "EA has decided to hold it accountable and demand compensation for the damage caused by the cessation of the project. ”

Jiang Shaoyun said angrily: "They are not employees of EA! ”

"But they have an actual employment relationship with EA." Yang Yun stopped the angry crowd and said lightly: "And the Wall Street investors who will be inclined to EA in the federal court will also support you on the grounds of protecting American assets, right?" Is this your hole card? Larry, would you like to see my hole cards? ”

Larry loosened his neckline and pretended to be fine, but he was extremely nervous: "What are your conditions?" ”

Yang Yun said calmly: "I can let them go back to EA to finish the work handover, but the huge losses you said are completely deceitful nonsense, and the total investment budget of the 4 outrageously bad projects does not exceed 500,000 US dollars, so I am not prepared to pay EA a penny for economic losses."

In addition, I want you to hand over all 20 people to me, and then reverse the contract of Contra for EA-Sports' 30% interest, and Dragon Teng has no relationship with EA from now on. ”

Larry shook his head without even thinking about it: "You want to exchange 30% of EA-Sports for Contra?" That's impossible! ”

Yang Yun knocked lightly on the table: "OK, I invested in "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" last year with the nature of playing tickets, with a box office of 600 million US dollars, Merck couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and she kept praising me for her good vision, hoping to continue to cooperate with me." The money allocated to me is about 100 million US dollars, and he hasn't given it to me yet, so why don't I pretend that there is no such thing, and let Mercado's media empire promote it for us? Oh, that's not going to cost $100 million, just hire a lawyer for the rest! (To be continued......)
