Mike Mohan is not good, if the person in front of him is his new boss, then what's the point of coming all the way this time?

The key is...... It's embarrassing!

"You don't believe me?"

Luo Sheng glanced at him, saw the other party's expression, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled silently, and then pushed a prepared document in front of him to Mike Mohan, who looked at the document on the desktop and subconsciously sighed in his heart.

Because Mike Mohan realized that it was not impossible, how could he not know what kind of virtue Vivendi was, this is one of the most notorious capital groups in the gaming industry, and the split of Blizzard in the North is due to the Vivendi group.

The story can be traced back to 1998, when Blizzard was "adopted" by Vivendi, and after accepting Vivendi's investment, Blizzard quickly clashed with the concept of "dad".

But he couldn't resist "Dad", which eventually led to the large-scale exodus of Blizzard employees, including the "Dark Four", whose departure directly led to the collapse of Northern Blizzard and seriously disrupted the Dark series of projects.

For Blizzard Entertainment, being oppressed by a "dad" who doesn't understand you is a super painful thing, and what's even more painful is that you can't do anything about it.

In order to obtain greater benefits, Vivendi Group has made frequent moves this year, Mike Mohan has actually learned the news a long time ago, Vivendi is actively promoting the intention to forcibly merge Blizzard into Vivendi games this year, and wants to merge Blizzard and Activision, renamed "Activision Blizzard", this matter will be completed before the end of the year, less than two months away.

Mike Mohan never expected that at the critical moment when the final merger was about to be merged, he would be sold by "Dad" without knowing it.

"If you don't believe it, just take a look, this is my equity transaction contract between Bluestar Technology and Vivendi." Luo Shengfeng said lightly.

Looking at the documents on the table, Mike Mohan hesitated for a long time, and finally picked it up and opened the list.

After reading the documents, the founder of Blizzard couldn't help but take a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile.

"OK, BOSS, when are you going to fire me?"

Mike Mohan had to accept the fact that Vivendi was a mercenary virtue that he should have believed rather than doubted with illusions.

"Fried? NO, NO, I won't fire you, and I won't interfere too much in Blizzard's operations, just like the Take Two company I acquired, and Blizzard, which merged into my Bluestar Technology Group, will do the same, just consolidated financial statements. Luo Sheng said with a smile, and couldn't help but his comfortable Erlang legs after speaking.

Mike Mohan, who was already depressed, immediately looked up at Luo Sheng when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and hearing about Take Two rekindled a glimmer of hope, and then he remembered Luo Sheng's several acquisitions in the game industry many years ago.

If the new owners are also in a free-range state like Take Two and Valve, thank goodness that Bluestar Technology Group is simply Blizzard's savior, freed from Vivendi's clutches.

"You should know that the original purpose of my acquisition of Blizzard was to take a fancy to the e-sports event plan of the two RTS games "Interstellar" and "Warcraft", and my people should have talked to you at the beginning of the month." Luo Sheng also looked at the other party's gaze, and Mike Mohan nodded.

After a while, Luo Sheng added: "Blizzard's games, I only intervene in two things, in the e-sports part of the WRPO to do, this event brand is a cup, you can do the championship if you want to do it, I will not interfere with the rest, as long as you ensure the steady growth of profits every year, you can play as you want." ”

"Now I don't have the ability to object." Mike Mohan reluctantly replied to him.

Indeed, Bluestar Technology now has absolute control over Blizzard Entertainment.

However, after experiencing the ups and downs, Mike Mohan is actually quite fortunate that things are in Blizzard's favor, at least Luo Sheng's promise is still very credible, because the several game companies he acquired before are now better than the other, and they really don't intervene too much.

Mike Mohan looked at him and said, "So boss, what's the second thing you said?" ”

Luo Sheng immediately said: "That is, to enter the WRPO competition project, you must take out 3% of the game's revenue every year as a membership fee to hand over to the WRPO, and the WRPO Organizing Committee will set up a fund pool, which will be used for the operation of the WRPO event, including the bonus pool for the contestants, etc., of course, your own carnival can also hold competitions, I just said." ”

For an e-sports game, the more competitions, the higher the vitality, and for WRPO events, as long as other large-scale events have passed the WRPO certification, professional players can earn points by playing games, which can form a virtuous positive cycle.

An e-sports game, when the game is popular, will promote the prosperity of e-sports, at this time the thrust of the game is greater than e-sports, and when the game is weakened, the prosperity of e-sports will extend the life of the game to a large extent, some players have withdrawn, but will still watch the game, and will continue to pay attention to the e-sports game that has been fighting, of course, you can submerge the life of the game for a period of time.

It's a win-win situation.

Mike Mohan nodded without hesitation: "No problem at all!" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, he thought it would be some harsh conditions, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of request, and now that the company is his, this kind of requirement is inconsequential at all.

However, Mike Mohan also seems to have guessed the purpose of Luo Sheng's move, and the WPRO event brand is obviously very ambitious, wanting to integrate the entire global esports industry and make the WRPO event the Olympics of esports.

In fact, Blizzard has long been greedy for the huge cake of the Korean Star League, and its heart is unbalanced, the Korean e-sports industry relies on the game "StarCraft" to create direct and indirect profits that exceed the profits of Blizzard to release this game, the key is that Blizzard has not made any profit from it, this is not a figure out anyone, and there is a ghost in the heart of the balance.

So this year's Blizzard decided to announce "StarCraft 2" at the carnival, largely to a large extent, to get a piece of the pie in e-sports, but it didn't calculate that the result would be like this.

But now it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, although such an ending is unexpected, but in fact, it's good, WRPO belongs to Bluestar Technology, and now Blizzard also belongs to Bluestar Technology, and Blizzard wants to deepen its cultivation in e-sports in the future, and it can also be on the thighs of Bluestar Technology and WRPO.

Bad things become good things.

At this moment, Mike Mohan's heart feels like a famous quote from a movie, life is like a chocolate.

In this way, Blizzard Games' "Warcraft" and "StarCraft" have been finalized, and another popular e-sports project "Half-Life" needless to say, its company Valve has long been acquired by Luo Sheng.

At present, the three main e-sports projects are all in hand, and the WRPO event brand can be launched without worries.

For the project "Half-Life", Luo Sheng personally made a phone call to G Fat to settle the matter, and 3% of the annual income of "Half-Life" will enter the WRPO fund pool.

For game manufacturers, this money is used as advertising fees for promotion, but the difference is that it must be paid regularly every year until the project is withdrawn from the WRPO system.

After getting the three most mainstream e-sports projects at the moment, WPRO can hold the first one, as for the other competitions, the influence and audience are far inferior to these three games, at most plus "FIFA2007", the others are the icing on the cake.

These days, for practitioners in the esports industry, it is simply an ordeal.

Because after Bluestar Technology announced the WRPO event system in a high-profile manner, there was no follow-up, which made many people wonder if there was an accident? It would be funny if Bai was happy.

This is really not Bluestar Technology's deliberate delay, because Luo Sheng has to settle Blizzard Entertainment, he doesn't want to be someone else's wedding dress, and he doesn't want to have an accident.

Now that the three major esports projects have been completed, it is time to announce them.

On the day of September 17th, the official website of Bluestar Technology once again disclosed the news, which once again set off a heated discussion in the e-sports circle.
