976【Blossoming and Fruiting】
At this time, Blizzard's major shareholder is not the French Vivendi Group, it has been established for more than 4 years, and two years ago it was established by a company called David & Associates' U.S. Publishing Company acquired, thus opening up the game distribution channel in North America
Just past 1995, the American game market was in a downturn, but Blizzard's "Warcraft 2" sold 500,000 units in four months, and now is the time for the spring breeze. They are planning to buy Condor to acquire a group of the company's software development elites, and plan to develop a game called Diablo.
Blizzard has a good momentum of development, and there is a parent company with abundant funds and open channels, and they are preparing to buy others, and they never expected that someone would come to buy them.
In the beginning, both the parent company David & Associates, the three founders of Blizzard, all rejected Sega and Paramount's request for shares.
But soon they relented, because they could not refuse each other's offer.
Sega Games and Paramount Pictures not only offered premium share acquisition contracts, but also brought additional benefits.
First of all, Sega, because of Kang Jianfei's investment and support, made "The King of Fighters" and a new generation of game consoles in advance, and now it has grown into a game company on a par with Nintendo. Once Sega takes a stake in Blizzard, many of Blizzard's games will be able to land on Sega's console platform, and it will also be able to open up the Asian market, which will greatly enhance Blizzard's development potential.
The second is Paramount, as one of Hollywood's giants, the film library is scaryly sufficient, and many films are suitable for game adaptation. One?? Reading?? ?? 1 K?A?N?S?H?U?· Blizzard's best-selling game can also be adapted into a movie, and this cooperation can be called a win-win situation. Paramount, in particular, also brought the rights to Resident Evil this time.
After many discussions, the acquisition intention was finally reached. Sega Games owns 32% of Blizzard Entertainment, Paramount Pictures has 21% of the shares, David & Associates owns 28 percent of the shares, and Blizzard's three founders together hold 19 percent.
Of course, there is an additional agreement, that is, the major shareholders must not interfere with the company's game development, which must be decided by the three founders of Blizzard.
On the side of Taiwan's Daewoo Company, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was well received as soon as it was listed. The reason why Kang Jianfei didn't hand over "Resident Evil" to Daewoo was because their strength was insufficient. Even Blizzard Entertainment has to rely on the acquisition of Condor to obtain a group of software elites and develop a new generation of game engines in order to do a good job in "Resident Evil".
As for the Oriental Technology Company, the second round of financing has entered the substantive stage. Due to the momentum of website terror, many consortia in the United States want to participate, and if this momentum continues, it is estimated that the opening price of the company after listing will be very high.
Now Hong Kong films are dying, and DreamWorks' profits are decreasing year by year, but Kang Jianfei's other investments continue to bear fruit.
The rotten real estate project of the Beijing Rose Garden has gradually come to life, and about one-fifth of the villas in the first phase have been sold. This may not be in demand in the eyes of peers, but with the development of the main urban area of Beijing, Changping will become more and more popular. And when six or seven years later, the government decides to build a university town here, and the rose garden house will go up like a rocket.
Not to mention this kind of long-term goal, Kang Jianfei, Zheng Jiachun, and Ye Laosan's real estate projects in the demon capital have now made a lot of money. Kang Jianfei alone has earned more than 1 billion RMB in the past two or three years, and the Zheng family, as the main investor, has earned more.
There are also Oriental Department Stores all over the country, which have now become the No. 1 department store chain in mainland China. This aspect is all taken care of by Hu Juncai, and Kang Jianfei basically didn't care about it except for the initial investment and accident.
In view of this, Kang Jianfei deliberately gave up some shares under his name as dry shares to some middle and senior executives of Oriental Department Store Group, and then gave some to Hu Juncai. This move has two advantages, one is to alleviate the conflict of interests between him and Hu Juncai, so as not to make Hu Juncai dissatisfied; The second is to win over the middle and senior backbones of the group, and by the way, increase the cohesion and sense of belonging of the group's employees.
The development of Taikang Tourism Group is also terrifying, with a surge in domestic and foreign tourists in recent years, and the business of travel agencies is booming. There is also a tourism development company under Taikang Group, which has become a veritable industry leader after successfully developing a number of domestic and foreign scenic spots such as Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, Danxia Mountain, Mirror Island, Zhouzhuang, Lijiang, etc. Nowadays, many local governments that want to develop tourism are paying a lot of money for companies to help plan and develop.
The first phase of the Hengdian Film and Television City has also been completed, and with the central government's ban on filming in the Forbidden City, Hengdian has become the preferred filming location for "Ming and Qing" historical dramas. Of course, due to the large initial investment, Hengdian Film and Television City will be in a net loss state in the next few years. But as long as it lasts until ten years later, it will become a place where the daily income is made.
The development of BBK is particularly gratifying, and VCD's Terminator DVD technology has been developed. Some time ago, BBK spent a huge amount of money to become the first CCTV standard king, and when the advertisement was officially launched, BBK DVDs would soon be sold out of stock.
On the contrary, BBK mobile phones are selling tepidly, because for the vast majority of Chinese, finding a machine is still a luxury. If you have a little money, you also prefer Big Brother, because this thing is big and very stylish.
In this regard, both Ericsson and BBK are happy and sad, happy that mobile phone users are climbing month by month, and sad that the growth rate is not too fast.
The funniest thing is that many of the big bosses in China are keen to buy backgammon local tycoon gold and supreme diamond-encrusted versions. So much so that the sales of these two limited high-end versions are not much lower than those of ordinary mobile phones, so they have to expand the production of high-end versions.
This was greatly unexpected by Kang Jianfei, but it was normal to think about it. The rich don't care about spending a few more dollars, and users who can only afford the ordinary version of the mobile phone, many will choose to buy Big Brother, so this weird situation happened.
Now that the local tyrant gold and diamond-encrusted mobile phones have been sold out, the ordinary version has accumulated a large amount of inventory, which makes Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai cry and laugh.
Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, India, the United States, Kang Jianfei has investments everywhere. Even he doesn't know how much he has now, which really bothers Forbes statisticians.
"Brother Fei, will you accompany others to tonight's dinner?" After Marseille, Li Jiaxin dragged Kang Jianfei's hand and coquettishly.
"I'm not going, you play by yourself, remember to drink less." Kang Jianfei patted her fragrant shoulder and said. He is the richest man in Hong Kong, and he didn't receive any invitations to dinner, so he went to lose more shares.
"Okay then." Li Jiaxin pursed her lips and sulked. Since "Resident Evil" became popular, this girl has swelled a little, and she has to get tired of being by Kang Jianfei's side every day, occupying men, in front of Guan Zhilin and other women, Li Jiaxin also has a high-minded attitude.
After Li Jiaxin left, Kang Jianfei said to Weng Hong: "Give Yi Nong a call......
