Chapter 328: Laura's Beauty and Wildness
NWC was preemptively acquired! And it was acquired by KTT! The meat that EA has already sandwiched into its mouth was actually preempted by KTT! This news shocked EA Inc. in a daze!
NWC is famous for the "Might and Magic" series, which has a huge world view, a rich total number of magic, rigorous settings, many schools, high playability, high degree of freedom, outstanding graphics, easy to learn and difficult to master, with most of the elements of a good game, and has become one of the three major RPG games on a par with "Genesis" and "Witchcraft".
NWC was favored by EA in 1993, but under pressure from several other alliances of 3DO, EA had to give up and prepare to be acquired by 3DO.
But 3DO was forced to close down in early 1994, and every company was counting its losses, and KTT stepped on their corpses and preemptively bought NWC by economic means, which made EA almost collapse!
"What the hell is going on?" Larry had just convened a think tank a few days ago, and now he called them back, and even recalled Hawke, who was on a business trip in Canada, and flew back urgently to discuss countermeasures.
"You said to me four days ago that it's okay, it's okay, why is KTT taking the lead? Hawk! Where's your intelligence? Larry roared, glaring at Hawke, even eating his heart.
Hawke saw the detailed report on the plane, and in the face of Larry's questioning, he was sweaty and speechless.
He is the vice president in charge of acquisitions, Blizzard, and West Wood are all operated by him, and NWC is also in his work plan. can collect Yang Yun's intelligence, and he has been distracted to pay attention to the dynamics of KTT. Coupled with the bird things after 3DO's bankruptcy, he was two days late. Unknowingly, the chicken was stolen by KTT and the NWC was acquired first.
"Acquired NWC for $10 million...... Bastard! I can sell higher, why not sell us EA? Hawk held his breath in his heart, and the green tendons on his clenched fists burst out, EA's bottom line is $12 million, and he obviously has a chance to win it!
The vice president of the operation department and the relevant personnel of the legal department could not say why, everyone only knew that KTT had never collected NWC related information. There was no prior contact, no bargaining back and forth, they seemed to come to the door with a check, and it only took half an hour to negotiate!
And the most bizarre thing is that KTT abandoned the mature "Might and Magic" series and opened another type of expansion, called "Heroes and Invincible", which is a new beginning.
This is the most inexplicable, and everyone present can't say the possible reason.
"Hawke! NWC is your follow-up every step of the way. I'll elaborate on this to the board and I need you to come up with a written report! Get out! Get it all out of here! Larry scolded, looked at the KTT announcement at hand, and grabbed the upsetting pile of texts. Slam the door hard.
Wolf Bèi, a member of the think tank, ducked out of the fish, leaving a trail of papers, including an A4 piece of paper with a photograph of KTT's handshake signed by the president of NWC. Fluttering down on the face of the angry Larry, the two people in the photo are smiling. As if to laugh at Larry, an angry Larry grabbed it. Tear the paper to shreds!
After calming down, Larry now inexplicably hates Yang Yun alone, because he believes that no one dares to give up a mature system except Longteng Company and innovate to make other systems.
The real KTT original team definitely does not have this vision and courage, and the Blackstone Group is a group of laymen who don't know how to play at all, unless there is a master to guide them!
"Humph! I hope you don't get caught by me for evidence of collusion! Larry gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous!

"Might and Magic...... Ouch I'm going to ...... This worldview is huge, I feel a little dizzy......" Yang Yun looked at the full set of Magic Gate materials secretly sent by Cao Kairui, and looked at it and almost fell asleep on the plane.
The most memorable part of the "Invincible Heroes" series should be the 3rd part, which supports online battles, rich tasks, a full series of story chapters, good plots, and good strategies, even when Yang Yun did Warcraft 1, he imitated the battle mode of Hero Invincible.
But it's a pity that Yang Yun can't achieve the 3rd part in this era, because the PC image effect is very bad, and it can't support network battles, and the memory is pitiful, and the machine can't run at all.
Since the copyright of "Might and Magic" already belongs to KTT, there is no need to worry about anyone making an identical hero invincible, so Yang Yun is ready to start with the improved version of Hero Invincible 1.
However, there is one game that has to be mentioned, that is, "The King's Gift", it can be said that the success of the hero is not accidental, it is the king's gift to the hero invincible framework, it is the Might and Magic Gate that gives the hero the invincible flesh and blood, and these games are the works of NWC.
"I'm glad I killed 3DO ahead of schedule! Otherwise, the world doesn't know what chaos will become! Yang Yun sighed in his heart, a little lucky.
For this company that dares to release TV game consoles under the siege of Sega, Sony and Nintendo, he also did some homework before his rebirth, especially this subsidiary NWC, after all, the names of Might and Magic and Heroes are too loud to pay attention to.
3DO acquired NWC in 1996, and after 2000 3DO went bankrupt, and NWC disappeared with it, falling apart, with some going to Ubisoft and some going to Bethesda, which made zuò old rolls.
At the same time, Russia's 1C company is also coveting these experienced programmers and NWC's legacy assets, 1C bought the naming rights of King's Bounty, co-opted some of NWC's old employees, and released a follow-up version of King's Bounty.
Now it's okay, Russia's 1C has long been in Yang Yun's bag, 3DO has also been beaten bankrupt, NWC was acquired by KTT without going to Ubisoft, as for the old roll......
"Do you want to buy Bethesda too? The NWC is mine now, but The Elder Scrolls isn't mine! Technology, hey, technology is bruised! Why am I not Superman, how nice it would be if I could write a game source code in ten days and half a month! ”
Yang Yun regrets it, it's a pity, especially the Elder Scrolls series, in 1994 Bethesda produced the first part, or that meaning, if the first Elder Scrolls can be sealed, until the hardware is enough to support The Elder Scrolls 4 before developing, how beautiful it would be at that time, will players all over the world be shocked by the super masterpiece of the dragon? Cheers, shocks, amazement, adoration?
Wake up! It's impossible for Bethesda to stop, and there are only two ways to mothball the Elder Scrolls series, either buy it or ...... it Destroy!
"Are you going to force me to become a greedy ogre? Agamemnon, you can't have the whole world, even for you, this world is too big......" Yang Yun closed his eyes, read a line from Troy, and fell asleep tiredly.
At the capital airport, Yang Yun walked in the exit passage with his suitcase, and as soon as he walked into the pick-up hall, he was frightened by the black crowd, and there were billboards held high everywhere, which read Jon Voight, as well as a large portrait of this handsome old man, and there were also entertainment media reporters with long guns and short guns waiting for them, aiming at the safety exit, flashing a few times from time to time.
"What...... Could it be that they are also flying today? Yang Yun lowered the bowler gentleman's hat, straightened the collar of the trench coat, avoided the attention of the media as much as possible, and then found a remote corner to stand and contact the secretary.
"Yes, Mr. Yang, the Voight family is also on today's flight, and it will arrive in half an hour." The secretary who hurried over explained and took Yang Yun's luggage.
"I thought they arrived the other day. The VIP vehicle you arranged is also outside? ”
"Yes, the relevant personnel of the marketing department are ready, but except for me and Lao Chen, no one knows that you are coming back today. In addition, Lao Chen did not drive the car with the tail number 888 out, and replaced it with a low-key red flag, which was in an inconspicuous place in the parking lot. ”
Yang Yun smiled and nodded: "Very good." ”
A star is a star, and his charm and appeal are countless times greater than ordinary people, not to mention this superstar who has won an Academy Award.
The Voight family of three soon came out, the mature and wise Jon, the slightly immature James Haven, and the beautiful Angelina Jolie, the three greeted fans very warmly, posed for the media to take pictures, and even accepted a short interview with a two-minute entertainment reporter, greeting the camera in broken Chinese.
Yang Yun sat in the car, watching them sit in Longteng's VIP car, and then motioned for Lao Chen to drive away, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Laura is so beautiful......"
The design team of "Tomb Raider" has all been put in place, with ten technical teams led by Zhang Guoqiang, eight auxiliary art teams, two script planners, and one consultant.
On March 1, the project team started construction, starting from the press conference, Longteng invited professional photographers, under the personal guidance of Yang Yun and Xiang Tian, with the intention of creating a perfect image of Laura.
"Is this Laura......?"
"It's beautiful!"
"Oh my God! I just learned that foreigners can be so beautiful......"
"It's called sexy! She's in such a good shape, I envy her......"
When Julie walked out of the dressing room, the sexy beauty and wild atmosphere that came to her face stunned everyone in the studio!
