The quiet atmosphere in the conference room did not last long, and Luo Sheng's voice once again reached everyone's ears.

"I don't care if there is internal strife within Microsoft's anti-ACC coalition, since Wall Street's multi-party capital has actively matched, let's go with the flow, let's make a move, and the major console platforms will open up the content ecology and interoperability, and don't play the exclusive set."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng added: "But Microsoft's series such as "Halo" and Sony's "Final Fantasy" and other series of content masterpieces are paid to us on my platform, while our games are paid to each other on the other party's platform about 20%. ”

"This ......"

The executives attending the meeting looked at each other, and then one of them looked at Luo Sheng and said: "Mr. Luo, I don't think it's necessary, the content of the ACC platform, even if it only relies on a few third parties controlled by Bluestar Technology Group, can support a huge closed-loop ecosystem, these third parties are not short of best-selling masterpieces, and we have lost 375 billion (RMB) into it, and we can almost beat competitors into tools in our last breath." ”

The rest of the managers at the meeting also nodded in agreement, they really couldn't figure out why Luo Sheng chose mercy at such a critical moment, and actually left a respite for competitors.

As for being sued by Microsoft in court, although the company's senior management attaches great importance to it, they do not feel like they are facing a great enemy, and this lawsuit is an endless mouthful.

Microsoft has no way to do this for the sake of the face of the same multinational technology giant, after all, large companies also have their own arrogance, but also have their own face, in terms of qualifications, the Cote d'Azur is the little brother in front of Microsoft, Sony and other old manufacturers.

As the so-called soldier bears a nest, there will be a nest of bears, up and down, the Cote d'Azur has Luo Sheng, the big boss, in charge so far, and the company's senior executives can act in a rigid style, and they can't just find a way to see if they can just wave.

After working hard with Luo Sheng for so many years, his confidence and self-confidence have also been played, and he no longer has the inferiority complex mentality he used to have in the face of foreign old giant groups.

That's it.

"The timing is not right, the fate should not be extinguished, do as I say, that's all." Luo Sheng said, even if the decision is made, the final word.

The timing is wrong?

Everyone looked at each other.

Although the big boss didn't explain the reason, he said it all to this point, and everyone had no objections.

Luo Sheng actually didn't want to let go of this opportunity to turn his opponent into a tool, and after gaining a firm foothold in the game world, he could go all out to deal with Intel.

This is a plan that has been in place for a long time.

But the plan always can't catch up with the change, this juncture coincided with the arrival of the North American election, and was calculated by Wall Street behind the scenes, how crazy the stock of Bluestar Technology is now, and how bad it will fall in the near future.

In this round of next-generation console wars, the Cote d'Azur has lost 37.5 billion yuan, and it is a bit painful that such a huge sum of money has not been exchanged for the expected return.

None of anyone's money is blown by the wind.

But compared with the two evils, Luo Sheng of course took the lesser of them.

Yao Jianhong and other company executives did not know that at this moment, the brother company Bluestar Technology Group was in an extremely bright moment, but there was already an undercurrent behind it.

Luo Sheng didn't want to suffer from the enemy on his back, and it would be difficult to take care of it when the time came.

Although he has secretly explored the transactions made by Wall Street, he cannot absolutely guarantee that the North American authorities will not turn against Wall Street and thus make a real show.

There is no guarantee that you will have to deal with the worst-case scenario, which is a proper consideration as a decision-maker.

At that time, both the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology will be on fire, and it will be very tiring to extinguish the fire, and the revenue of both companies may be cut in half if they lose their overseas markets.

Let's put Microsoft on the table first, and then talk about it, if the front line is too long, it is easy to increase variables.

Luo Sheng didn't tell Yao Jianhong and others about these things, and even Zhang Bowen of Bluestar Technology didn't tell him, and he didn't plan to tell them, because it was not beautiful to say.

……

As time went on, in mid-April, the Cote d'Azur and Microsoft reached an out-of-court settlement with the help of Wall Street's multi-party capital.

After all, both companies have the interests of Wall Street, which has now borrowed $70 billion in corporate debt to the Cote d'Azur, which is an astronomical amount, and this vicious fight between the two sides is not only not good for Wall Street, but does more harm than good.

As a result, Microsoft suddenly announced that it had withdrawn its lawsuit against the Côte d'Azur.

This kind of divine turn has made countless media organizations and melon-eating netizens who are waiting to watch the big drama stunned for a while, this reversal is too fast, so fast that in addition to the two parties involved, the plot trend behind it caught everyone off guard.

Stocks of the world's major third-party gaming companies fluctuate like an electrocardiogram.

After the negotiation between the two sides, the market value of the third-party game company fell sharply, and the industry believed that the subsidy dividend was over, and within a few days, Microsoft turned around and took the Cote d'Azur to court with a lawsuit, and the market value of the third-party game company rose sharply, and the industry believes that the subsidy dividend can continue for a while.

As a result, a few days later, Microsoft suddenly announced the withdrawal of the lawsuit, and the stock market immediately reflected, and the market value of the third-party game company plummeted again.

Countless stock-speculating investors have the intention of jumping off the building.

……

On the morning of April 19, the Chalte Coast company Galaxy City headquarters, the media conference hall.

When a reporter at the scene captured the signing parties on the red carpet stage, he couldn't help but whisper: "One moment I have to face each other in court, and the next moment I will ...... The plot development is really magical. ”

At this moment, Luo Sheng rarely appeared in front of the media camera, and he personally came forward to launch a public signing ceremony with Microsoft's host alliance team.

Don Matrick and others stood on the red carpet stage with Luo Sheng, holding each other's unfolded contract documents and facing the camera, although they didn't know their own mental activities and real thoughts, but at least under the camera, everyone was smiling.

It seems that they have ushered in a very good happy end.

After completing the group photo, it was Luo Sheng's turn to speak, and he stood on the dedicated podium and said colorfully: "This next-generation console battle has started since years ago, we have won over third parties such as Ubisoft, Microsoft Alliance has attracted third parties such as Konami, we are all fighting for more third parties, we are fighting." ”

Reporters from more than 200 media outlets in the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Sheng continued to speak with a smile on his face: "The two sides are like martial arts masters, and this force is ...... It's just that everyone loses two or three million dollars a day, okay, I lose another $40 million, and I resist it, and if I'm not mistaken, the highest loss one day is more than $58 million. ”

The special reporters of the domestic and foreign media in the audience heard what Luo Sheng said, but when they heard the numbers that the other party said, they all secretly smacked their lips, and they felt dizzy.

The highest loss in one day was 58 million US dollars, excluding exchange rate changes of nearly 4 billion yuan.

Burning 400 million in one day, the competition between these multinational giants is simply like the rhythm of a fairy fight.

And Luo Sheng's speech seems to be no different from 4,000 yuan, making it a big guy in the end.

In addition to worship, you can only worship.

Luo Sheng still smiled on the podium and said, "...... But neither side dares to stop, because if you take it, it will be equivalent to giving up all your previous efforts, and you will even die due to internal injuries. ”

The audience burst into laughter.

Luo Sheng continued: "So they have been dead, and finally Microsoft's president Ballmer communicated with me on the phone, I said this, how do you think it ends?" But you can't fight, they don't seem to be convinced, so you have to fight a shot. In the end, it was solved with the help of multiple capitals. ”

There was another round of laughter off the field, and Don Matrick and the others who were sitting on the side could only laugh with their faces, anyway, he didn't want to stay for a moment, and he quickly withdrew after the signing ceremony.

But now I can only endure it silently, endure watching the other party show off as a winner.
