Chapter 963 [If necessary, create a competitor]

Fang Hong's previous acquisition target for Qunxing Capital in the game sector has reached an astronomical scale of nearly $170 billion, and now more than half of the reservation target has been completed.

The game box is not something that ordinary companies can play, and it is impossible to do without "money ability", and the mergers and acquisitions of this batch of game manufacturers alone have cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

It's not bad for money, it's not good, you have to afford to lose, and you won't be hurt by the final failure.

For Qunxing Capital, even if all this investment is lost, it will not hurt the vitality at all, at most, it will be distressed for a while, which represents confidence.

At present, many of the game manufacturers that have been acquired have begun to take shape, which is of great significance to the upcoming game box, avoiding the lack of content in the platform game library.

At this time, Tian Jiayi suddenly suggested: "Can we take advantage of the current smooth opportunity to merge and acquire more game manufacturers to expand the content library?" According to the work reported by the head of the game business unit, there are several well-known game developers who are willing to take the initiative to merge in. ”

Fang Hong stopped and said: "No, it's almost enough, if you want to see it, you can accept it, don't think about eating it all, we have to leave something for Microsoft to eat." ”

The beautiful assistant was very puzzled when she heard this, it was a competitor.

Seeing her expression, Fang Hong smiled and said: "The relationship between the game box and Microsoft, you can understand it as the relationship between Intel and AMD. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tian Jiayi suddenly realized after a little thought.

Leave a bite to eat for Microsoft, you can avoid the game box stall "anti-monopoly" this thing, especially if you are still a big eastern enterprise, Angsa people are worried about how to get you, relatively speaking, it is easier to put this matter in the European and American markets, as long as they find an excuse, they will not hesitate to start the anti-monopoly procedure.

If the game box really forms a monopoly situation in the overseas market, it will definitely happen.

Therefore, they can't be allowed to find an excuse from the program, they must leave a bite to eat for Microsoft, and they can't let it die, and they must share a part of the benefits to make Microsoft's platform operate, otherwise Microsoft will shut down the platform at that time, and the game box in this mode will become the only platform, and the Europeans and Americans will definitely start the anti-monopoly procedure at that time.

But as long as Microsoft's platform can be lived, Qunxing Capital can deal with it, and this lawsuit will be fought, and letting Microsoft's platform live is a big shield to prevent the anti-monopoly process from being initiated, just like Intel wants to keep AMD alive is a reason, once upon a time, Intel had many opportunities to make AMD bankrupt but did not let it die, the reason is the same.

Fang Hong is not afraid that Microsoft will be able to get up, one of the major characteristics of the platform is that once the Matthew effect is formed, that is, the stronger the stronger, the user habit is terrible, as long as he gets used to a platform, the user is not willing to move the nest, as long as the game box itself does not die and make fatal mistakes, Microsoft can only be a 10,000-year-old man forever.

Therefore, the game box also needs a competitor, and if necessary, it has to secretly create a competitor, which is a technical means.

Of course, Fang Hong not only relies on this to avoid being anti-monopolized by Europeans and Americans in the future, but there must also be other preparations, such as Zhengzhi's donation will definitely not be less, and the sugar-coated cannonball will only continue to increase its efforts.

"We have acquired a lot of top game developers, but if the game platform can truly operate in a self-circular manner, the entire ecosystem must be diverse, and the richer and more diverse the species, the healthier the ecosystem." Fang Hong said: "Therefore, we also need to provide targeted support for some independent game developers, which is very necessary. ”

Tian Jiayi immediately began to make a memo when he heard this, Fang Hong thought for a moment and then ordered: "In this way, in the future, the platform will hold an annual new work selection activity support project every year, and the participating game companies must be new start-ups established within three years, and they are independent game developers, and the shares held by old game manufacturers cannot account for 30% of the company." ”

"Since we want to engage in such a support project, it must be on the lottery." Fang Hong smiled slightly, and then added: "The platform spends $500 million in budget funds every year to reward the top 30 new works in the selection ranking. ”

"The annual champion and cutting-edge game work will be rewarded with US$100 million plus platform level publicity and traffic exposure support, and the annual runner-up will be rewarded with $75 million plus platform level publicity and traffic exposure support; The annual third runner-up will be rewarded with 50 million US dollars, plus platform level publicity and traffic exposure support. ”

Fang Hong paused for a moment to think further, and then continued: "The fourth and fifth places are each rewarded with $25 million plus platform level publicity; The sixth to tenth places will be rewarded with 15 million yuan plus traffic exposure support; The eleventh to thirtieth are the new works nominated for the year, how many are left? $150 million, right? Then give these twenty nominated new works a reward of $7.5 million, and that's it. ”

Fang Hong added: "There is another point to add, the game works participating in the competition must be exclusively released on the game box, otherwise this lottery will not be eligible to participate in the competition." ”

Tian Jiayi, who forgot about it, said thoughtfully: "If you spend 500 million US dollars every year and set it as a resident support project, you can afford to sacrifice your capital." However, the overall benefits should be even greater, and once the news of this support project is announced, such a lucrative project will definitely attract a large number of independent studios to choose to release their products on the GameBox platform. ”

The annual crown directly rewards 100 million US dollars plus platform first-level publicity and traffic exposure support, not to mention the tilt of platform resources behind, the reward of 100 million US dollars alone is incredible, comparable to the profit scale of those well-known top best-selling masterpieces.

Most importantly, this residency is to exclude the established top game developers and limit them to new indie game production companies, whether it is a real cash prize or a tilt of platform resources, which is an extremely valuable resource for such start-up independent game production companies, which is equivalent to having the capital to move towards top production companies, and even rise from the dragon gate in one day.

The second-place and third-place rewards are also extremely generous, and many best-selling masterpieces may not be able to get so much profit, with this additional bonus income, there is sufficient capital for the development of sequels, coupled with the accumulation of development experience in the previous game, this is a powerful springboard for many independent game production companies.

Fang Hong is playing the platform model, and there is no need to worry about the rise of third-party game developers, no matter how good the developer of the pen is, it is also a third party, especially after the game box becomes a super platform in the future, it is impossible for any third party to make any waves.

Unless all third parties rise up at the same time to "rebel", this is impossible, and there is no need to use the word "basic", because Qunxing Capital has bought a large number of top third parties to ensure that the content foundation of the platform will not be shaken.

Therefore, Fang Hong was relieved that they were open and growing, but he was afraid that they would not be able to get up.
