Chapter 1745 Goodbye Sophie
I don’t know which celebrity said that a country’s demise is not due to invasion by foreign enemies, but due to internal strife. Only internal strife can lead to the destruction of a country! Foreign enemies will never bring about the destruction of a country!
This is true for the country, and so is the business alliance. Well, it would be difficult to make the "gm13" alliance "annihilate" by relying solely on external pressure. After all, these companies are all well-known companies in the gaming industry. It would be difficult to drive them all away.
Especially since these 13 companies are mainly focused on the stand-alone game market, this is even more difficult. Lin Feng wants to drive them all away with his own strength, but he doesn't know how long it will take for him to do so.
But leaving such an alliance watching covetously is not Lin Feng's style. If it is an enemy, it must be strangled in the cradle. If it cannot be strangled in the cradle, then destroy it when it has fully grown.
In Lin Feng's eyes, "gm13" is such an opponent that must be eliminated as soon as possible. What's more, Lin Feng's ambition is to make stand-alone games disappear in the future. Games are an interactive world that requires communication between people to be more fun. The reason why stand-alone games were so popular in the world in the past few years is because the hardware at that time did not support it and could not play games between people. The flow and interaction can only be the interaction between humans and machines.
However, this situation has quietly changed with the rise of the Internet. Player interaction has gradually become the mainstream of games, which can be seen from the fact that more and more stand-alone games support multi-player interaction. However, if stand-alone games want to disappear completely, as far as Lin Feng knows, it may not disappear within 15 years. What Lin Feng has to do is to extremely shorten this time, shortening it to less than 3 years. There is no market for stand-alone games, and all that is left on the market are online games, or games.
Lin Fengke is very clear that online games in the future can be divided into two categories. One is large-scale online games that must be played through a computer, such as "World War"; the other is casual games that can be played through mobile phones and handheld game consoles. category, or games. In these two categories, "players who play mobile games through mobile phones or handheld game consoles will be far more profitable than players who play games through computers in the future" and their profits will be far greater than those of large-scale online games.
This is a huge piece of rut.
And Lin Feng's previous crazy expansion, "Qidian Fast Food Restaurant" (currently has more than 10,000 stores worldwide), or the creation of "Phantom Technology", as well as "Second Game" and research on handheld consoles, all were to seize the mobile game market first. this market.
But judging from the current situation, "in the next 4-5 years, the number of players of this kind of mobile game will still be far lower than the players who play large-scale online games through computers. There are many reasons for this, but the most direct one is the single-player game. Players Subconsciously, I still believe that stand-alone games are far better than online games, and even better than mobile games. This concept is not wrong, Lin Feng also admitted.
But the fundamental reason for this result is that the vast majority of game developers are currently committed to the development of the stand-alone game market.
As for online games, they are also being developed, but most of them are not very optimistic. Even if Lin Feng's "Second World" became the most expensive game company in the world, not many game developers really paid attention to the development of online games. Of course, this is also It is related to the absolute strength of the "Second World".
Since the "Second World" has such a strong position in the online game industry, why do they have to squeeze into this most competitive industry? Why not concentrate on developing stand-alone games? "One set of masterpieces, sell millions of copies" or even "Ten million sets, calculated as one dollar set" is enough for them to reach.
Since even large-scale online games are not supported by game manufacturers, the status of mobile games is even more conceivable. Without the support of game manufacturers, the "Second World" alone cannot expand this market. If this market doesn't grow, even if Lin Feng dominates the market, the money will be limited.
Therefore, Lin Feng simply took this opportunity to bring down "gm13" 1ng. Anyway, "gm13" brings together the most famous game companies in today's gaming industry. Once they cross over, the entire gaming industry will be shocked. Of course, even if these game manufacturers cross over, it does not mean that global game manufacturers will choose to enter the mobile game market. But don’t forget that in “gm13” there are currently the only three game hardware companies in the world: Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
If these three companies are completely separated, and there is no game hardware in the world, only the "dream" handheld console launched by Lin Feng's "Second Game", what do you think those game manufacturers will choose?
Of course, it is not easy to realize this ambition. Even if Lin Feng currently has indirect control over "Ades Interactive Company", "Yingpei", "ksTaR" and "Qianyou" -LT", it is difficult to truly shake the "gm13" organization. Because in this alliance, the core members are "Nintendo", "Sony", "Sega", "Square" with Japan as the company. Enix", and "ea". As for "Ubisoft", its own strength is too weak. Whether it can survive this difficulty is a question, and it has never been taken seriously by these five game giants.
As for the "Microsoft Game Starter", it is indeed terrifyingly powerful. But for "Microsoft..." I'm afraid no one doesn't hate it. This giant is so powerful that people have to be wary of it.
Therefore, if Lin Feng wants to really leverage "gm13", he has to find a way, but the chips in front of him are not enough. And Lin Feng is targeting two companies. One of them is Ubisoft.
Although "Ubisoft" is not taken seriously by the five giants in "gm13", "the name of a man is the shadow of a tree". Its games such as "Splinter Cell", "Rayman", and "Prince of Persia" have both good reputation and market in the market. To acquire it, there are only benefits and no harm to Lin Feng.
"Mr. Gullimott, my offer is very sincere, I hope you can consider it carefully." Lin Feng said very seriously.
After determining that Ubisoft is Lin Feng's first breakthrough point, Lin Feng found "Ubisoft". However, to Lin Feng's surprise, "Ubisoft", which was in a financial crisis, was indifferent to Lin Feng's proposed acquisition plan of US$100 million. No, it can no longer be said to be indifferent, but it was rejected without hesitation.
"Mr. Lin" Ubisoft, created by our brothers, we will never sell it to anyone! What's more, a mere offer of US$100 million" Are you humiliating us! ", Yves-Gulmot roared.
Lin Feng was sprayed with saliva by Yves-Gulmot, but he was not annoyed. After waiting for Lin Chiling to wipe the saliva on his face with a handkerchief, he said with a slight smile, "Mr. Gengmot, I know that Ubisoft is your hard work, so I made this offer. Excuse me, even if Ubisoft can overcome this difficulty, in GM13, the alliance is controlled by the five giants, and Ubisoft will probably end up as cannon fodder. On the contrary, agreeing to this contract with me will not only make you three brothers rich, but you can still create gods and manage the company.
It's just changing from a company boss to a professional manager. I think it's not much different for you. What's more, under my leadership, I believe that Ubisoft will be more brilliant! "Lin Feng said with a smile.
(In the West, there are many cases where company owners sell their companies and then are hired as company presidents or chief technology officers. Westerners' desire for company ownership is different from that of China)
Yves Gullimott looked strange. Lin Feng's conditions were actually very generous. After acquiring "Ubisoft", Lin Feng did not manage the company, but still gave the company to the three brothers to manage. With such generous conditions, to be honest, if it were not "Ubisoft", it was created by the three brothers and developed step by step to the present, he would definitely agree to Lin Feng's conditions without hesitation.
"Well, let's think about it!" Yves Gullimott said after a moment of silence.
Lin Feng shrugged and turned away.
"Hi, Sophie, are you free? How about having tea together?" Lin Feng called the French goddess Sophie Maso.
"Hi, Lin, why are you in France? By the way, you have been very active recently. We are reporting your news every day. The Oscars will be awarded on this day, how about your "Lin Feng Film Art Festival"? Is it really on this day?" Sophie Marceau smiled and looked at Lin Feng with a curious look on her face.
"Haha, of course. I just don't know if Sophie will be willing to show up when the time comes!" Lin Feng laughed.
"I will definitely be there!" Sophie Marceau smiled slightly.
"By the way, how is your bet with the Japanese car dealer? The winner will be decided in the next month. But I heard that the current sales of Japanese cars in China are better than your "Shenlong Automobile". There are less than three months left. Do you have a chance to win?" Sophie Marceau asked with concern.
"Well, the situation is indeed not good at the moment. But don't worry, everything is still under my control. But then, you may need to help! If I need your help, don't refuse!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Me? "Sophie Marceau pointed at herself, looking surprised." "How can I help you?"
"Don't underestimate yourself, you are the French goddess, you can definitely help me!" Lin Feng laughed.
"If that's the case, then I will definitely help you with all my strength!" Sophie Marceau said with a fist.
Cute! I didn't expect that Sophie Marceau, who is nearly 18 years old, is still so cute. She was so cute that Lin Feng was distracted for a while.
"Then let's make a pinky promise!" Lin Feng stretched out his right finger.
"Pinky promise!" Sophie Marceau laughed and stuck out her tongue. She was rarely playful.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Yves Gullimot calling.
"Sophie, come with me!" Lin Feng said with a turn of his eyes.
"Yes!" Sophie Marceau said playfully, imitating the ancient Chinese accent.
