Chapter 453 [A paper dumping lawsuit, the two parties go to court?] 】

As soon as Yao Jianhong's words came out, he instantly talked to death.

There is no doubt that the negotiations collapsed directly at this point, and Microsoft couldn't let go of its posture, thinking that it was too humiliating to accept.

Don Matrick and the others left the Galaxy City Mansion with expressionless faces, and after returning to their car, they finally couldn't help but scold: "Madefak!" I have never seen such an arrogant Chinese. ”

"Boss, where are you going now?" The car actually asked.

"Go home!" Don Matrick didn't want to stay here for a moment.

At the same time, Sony's global vice president from the trip was also in the car on the way back to the hotel, but his anger was not mainly on the Cote d'Azur, but on Microsoft's Don Matrick.

You Microsoft want hard steel, don't ask me what Sony thinks about the main one?

In short, Sony doesn't want to be buried with Microsoft's interactive entertainment department, and even if Microsoft cuts the game department, it will be heartbroken at most, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and it is an outsider in the home console market.

But Sony is different, PS business is one of the company's three main businesses, is the fist product of Sony Electronics.

With the unpleasant outcome of this negotiation, everyone went their separate ways, and Don Matrik came and went in a hurry.

And Sony's people sent people to Wall Street as soon as possible, trying to find Wall Street's multi-party capital to match it, no matter what, to end this damn subsidy war, Sony, who can't see hope, really can't afford to play.

But this matter will never be settled like this.

……

A week later, Microsoft suddenly took the Cote d'Azur to court in a lawsuit on suspicion of subsidized dumping.

Shamelessly, it is simply and automatically ignores its own subsidy operation.

The news quickly spread and quickly caused an uproar in the industry, with shares of third-party game developers around the world falling.

This lawsuit undoubtedly sends a strong signal to the market that the good days of third-party game developers, the subsidy dividend that lasted for four months is almost over, and Microsoft is picking on a bad game and starting to play a lawsuit.

The industry knows that in this next-generation console war, the Microsoft alliance can't bear it first.

On the stall of this kind of lawsuit, the outside world has a lot of discussions, and each has its own opinion.

Some people feel that Microsoft can't afford to play, and its own subsidy operation makes this paper lawsuit pale in comparison.

Some people also think that the Cote d'Azur is standing on the side of money to engage in vicious competition, and the store is a big bully.

Melon-eating netizens were happy to see similar comments from some foreign media, which is a realization, acknowledging that the Cote d'Azur is a super-giant multinational technology giant.

The question is, isn't the Microsoft store big enough?

Is Microsoft a small store?

Among the world's top ten listed technology companies, the multinational giant second only to Bluestar Technology, a small store?

Who will believe it?

Tearing posts on Reddit forums are also popping up one after another.

Interestingly, however, the attitude of third-party game developers has been faintly reversed against the Cote d'Azur, but Yao Jianhong is dismissive of such signals.

Because these third-party developers are the worst to have an ACC platform to settle in, that is, of course, to encourage Microsoft not to be false and to get up and continue to work.

In this way, they can continue to enjoy the huge dividends of the event-driven subsidy wars.

In the treacherous shopping mall, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

……

The headquarters of the Cote d'Azur in Galaxy City, internal routine high-level meetings.

Inside the conference room, more than 20 core executives such as Yao Jianhong were already sitting on the conference table in the middle, and only the chief seat was empty.

It didn't take long for the door of the conference room to be opened, and everyone looked over, only to see Luo Sheng slowly walking towards the chief seat.

"What's the situation? I was busy with the 'Yeti Project' in the Côte d'Azur lab, and I had just come out of lockdown for a month, when I heard that the company and Microsoft were fighting and going to court? ”

Luo Sheng said as he walked, and after speaking, he happened to come to his place and sat down, picked up the water cup placed next to him, took a sip of water, and then looked around at everyone and added, "Who is going to tell me about what happened recently?" ”

Yao Jianhong, the company's No. 2 person, immediately spoke, concisely and concisely told Luo Sheng about some of the company's recent situations.

The two contemporary technology giants are fighting, and they both have a red-eyed posture, and the major media are very keen on hype and fanning the flames.

Originally, this was a big war between the Cote d'Azur and Microsoft in the field of next-generation consoles, but as a result, Bluestar Technology Group was also involved in the game.

This is not an accident, because the top third-party game production companies such as V Company, Take-Two, 2k Game, R Star, and CDPR are all holding subsidiaries of Bluestar Technology.

Wars between giant groups have a wide radiation area, and business boundary conflicts occur from time to time.

Not to mention that such a thing will happen between the two giants, even the tearing war within the Bluestar Technology Group is no exception.

For example, Riot Games, V Club and Blizzard Entertainment are also fighting with each other, and they began to pinch each other to a fever pitch at the beginning of this year, and there has been no result yet.

Just because of the game "Dota", V and Blizzard are pinching, and because of Riot Games' production of "League of Legends", V and Riot Games are also pinching each other, and they are also in court against each other, and no one will let anyone.

The gamer fans of the three parties also fought with each other, and one sentence came, what kind of white, black, knife sling, dog, etc., these ugly labels were interlocked, and it was lively to greet each other.

This relationship is more chaotic than ever, so that Lanxing's father also said that it is really difficult to get it.

The company's quarterly revenue is more than 40 billion US dollars, and there are as many as six or seven hundred wholly-owned subsidiaries, holding companies or joint-stock companies under the group, with assets ranging from tens of millions to tens of billions of dollars......

Just don't care, you go and tear it up, it doesn't matter who you love and whose father you love.

Maybe in the end, V Club earned, maybe Riot earned, maybe Blizzard earned.

But Dad will never lose, because I'm your Dad.

“…… That's pretty much it. After Yao Jianhong finished speaking, he stopped speaking.

After a while, Luo Sheng looked around at the crowd and said suspiciously: "It's a bit interesting, Microsoft here is going to fight with you for a long time, but why did I receive a lot of calls from old friends from Wall Street management yesterday to try to match the two sides as soon as possible?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Jianhong and the others couldn't help but be stunned, and they were all confused.

At this point, one of the executives at the meeting said, "Could it be that there is infighting in Microsoft's team?" ”

Yao Jianhong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and then said: "There is this possibility, if I am not wrong, Sony doesn't want to play and can't afford to play, the team is easy to disperse, infighting is possible, maybe Sony will go to Wall Street." ”

Luo Sheng couldn't help but nodded.

After a while, Lao Yao immediately looked at the big boss and added, "Mr. Luo, then how do we deal with it?" ”

At this moment, Luo Sheng was thinking about it, and did not answer immediately, and everyone did not disturb, and the conference room fell silent.
