Chapter 450 You Can Really Do Anything With Money
Seeing the eagerness of the two, Wu Tao was also a little surprised.
Ordinary people, when they hear that they have to do something absolutely, are somewhat a bit of a saint, and can't bear it.
But it's fine if these two are not the Virgin Mary, why are they so anxious, it seems that they are still faintly excited?
After thinking about it, I understood again.
Wu Yingying, who graduated from Waseda, has been on Wall Street for more than half a year. She is used to the vicissitudes of the financial market. Her idea for Blizzard Entertainment can only be regarded as a child's play.
As for Qiu Xiaotian, who always flaunts himself as an artist, but punches and kicks his colleagues at work, and runs away from his parents in life, obviously he doesn't shy away from it.
In this way, these two people can be regarded as like-minded.
"Poach their corners!" After Wu Tao figured it out, he stopped playing tricks.
As soon as Wu Yingying heard it, she leaned back on the back of the chair, apparently knowing everything.
On the contrary, Qiu Xiaotian was a little confused, "Boss, what's the point of poaching their corners? At most, their technical talents can benefit from job-hopping. How big a loss will it be to Blizzard Entertainment itself?"
After a series of questions, Qiu Xiaotian concluded abruptly: "So boss, you can't do whatever you want with money."
"Hmph~" Before Wu Tao could explain, Wu Yingying sneered first, "Sorry, I don't agree with your point of view. In fact, you can do whatever you want with money."
After working in the financial capital market for so long, Wu Yingying has already seen the powerful force behind capital.
In her opinion, it is common to use capital to turn black and white, and it is not difficult to even change the world.
Just as Qiu Xiaotian was about to refute, Wu Tao interrupted: "Listen to Yingying, you should study hard."
Once the boss spoke, Qiu Xiaotian could only obey.
Wu Yingying didn't hide it anymore, she took a sip of champagne to moisten her throat and said, "I have read the information of Blizzard Entertainment. The reason why Blizzard Entertainment can walk such a broad road under the background of the Internet bubble is getting bigger and bigger, Although it is related to the efforts of the two founders, Mike and Allen, it is also inseparable from the two successful capital mergers and acquisitions they have experienced!"
After all, there is a specialization in the art industry!
When Qiu Xiaotian heard this, the breath he held in his heart was much relieved.
He has been lurking in Blizzard Entertainment for so long, so he is no stranger to the two mergers and acquisitions.
But he never realized what the two capital acquisitions really brought to Blizzard Entertainment.
Wu Yingying put down the champagne, and her well-groomed and neat short hair gave people a convincing power.
"The first acquisition was when Blizzard Entertainment accepted the acquisition of the famous distribution company Davidson & Associates in early 1994. This time, Blizzard Entertainment obtained a strong capital backing and continued to develop. This is why Blizzard Entertainment refuses us to acquire again."
"And the second acquisition is Blizzard Entertainment's acquisition of others. Through the acquisition of a company called Condor, Blizzard has acquired a group of game software development elites, and it has become even more powerful."
Speaking of this, Qiu Xiaotian also felt the same way.
After all, having been with those software development elites for so long, he naturally knows the value of these people.
However, Wu Yingying was able to draw such a firm conclusion based on the analysis of some paper materials and data.
It seems that there are indeed two brushes.
Faintly, Qiu Xiaotian was somewhat convinced by Wu Yingying. It's just that when he looked at Wu Tao again, he couldn't help but hesitate, why did he gather so many geniuses and monsters around him?
More importantly, among this group of people, he was almost at the bottom of the list.
It's ridiculous that I used to feel pretty good about myself, but now this kind of feeling good about myself has long since disappeared.
"I already understand the importance of the R&D team." Needless to say, Qiu Xiaotian has already started to ask, "But isn't this a little far from our goal?"
Wu Yingying tapped the table with her pale fingers and said, "With their development team, we can develop homogeneous game products, and even come up with ideas that Blizzard will develop in the future and put them on the market."
"Either go your own way, compete openly with Blizzard, win and acquire the other party."
"Either go the way of Blizzard, let Blizzard have nowhere to go, and also take the opportunity to acquire the other party."
So simple?
When Qiu Xiaotian was listening, Wu Yingying had already started drinking champagne.
This is the end?
Looking back and thinking about it, Qiu Xiaotian suddenly couldn't help feeling a little cold.
This idea is really good enough.
It's a good company, if you really mess around like this, it's really possible to get it done.
Thinking of those foreign buddies who usually called brothers and sisters, Qiu Xiaotian suddenly couldn't bear it.
It's just that the two surnamed Wu in front of them didn't care about his change of mood, and they discussed other issues on their own.
The questions that can make Waseda's high-achieving students ask questions are obviously not pediatrics. The angle and starting point of the questions alone are beyond the imagination of Qiu Xiaotian.
"Boss, I don't understand why you are so keen on the IT industry in Silicon Valley? It is said that the Internet industry is becoming more and more bubbly, and it is too late for a large amount of financial capital to withdraw. Why are you so eager to get in?"
"After all, the IT industry in Silicon Valley has been downgraded five times in a row by authoritative Wall Street financial institutions. The risks here are conceivable."
Qiu Xiaotian was determined not to understand.
Although you often see these words in newspapers in the United States on weekdays, but when you really hear people around you talk about them, it is still no different from listening to heavenly scriptures.
What dotcom bubble, what downgrades.
Besides, Wu Yingying, a Wall Street elite, is nothing more than that. How could a high school student from Beijiang Middle School talk about these topics with eloquence?
Genius monster, that's the only way to explain it.
When Qiu Xiaotian couldn't figure it out, Wu Tao had already started to explain, "Yingying, you should be able to see what my goal of meddling in Silicon Valley's IT industry is."
"IT talent?"
"That's right!" Wu Tao nodded, "The IT industry is facing the US market, and the bubble is getting worse. Because of this, it is an excellent opportunity for us to recruit talents. With a talent team in the IT industry, we can quickly replicate hot industries. , and turn to the Chinese market to develop.”
"...Of course, if there are high-quality IT assets, I don't mind buying them directly. No matter which method is used, the market we are targeting is the Chinese market after all."
After the two sides fully communicated, Wu Yingying solved the doubts in her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Tao began to assign tasks, "Yingying, please contact Mr. Qin to set up a branch of Apocalypse Investment in Silicon Valley. Together with Mr. Qiu, plan to acquire Blizzard Entertainment. In addition, regarding the IT industry trends in Silicon Valley, we must follow at all times."
This was entrusted with an important task in advance!
Wu Yingying was also very excited when she heard this. After struggling for so long, she finally had the opportunity to stand on her own.
"In addition, Yingying, Apocalypse Investment is currently planning a Thai currency sniper battle. After you form a professional team, you can participate in it and give some advice."
