Chapter 1740 Sorry, I Made Money
Despicable and shameless villain, I knew he would definitely use this trick! "Satori Iwata sneered after learning that Lin Feng had obtained the copyright to "Heroes of the Galaxy" from Yoshiki Tanaka.
"Mr. Iwata, you were the better one and re-signed the copyright transfer contract. Didn't Lin Feng want "Heroes of the Galaxy"? Just give it to him. As long as he pays 500 million US dollars, we will give it to him!"—— "ea" president Peter Moore laughed.
The total cost of "Heroes of the Galaxy" is estimated to be US$400 million. Now the "gm13" organization has only spent 10,000 US dollars. If Lin Feng wants to take it now, they will still have a net loss of 450 million US dollars.
Why not! ——"GM held a press conference immediately and happily agreed to transfer the copyright of "Bank Heroes" to "Second World". A single game copyright can earn 450 million U.S. dollars. They are very satisfied.
At the same time, "gm13" announced that it would use the US$450 million earned to develop "Harry Potter" into the most popular magical online game in history.
"Galactic Heroes ne" was forcefully purchased by Lin Feng at a high price of US$500 million, and "gm13" opened "Harry Potter ne". What happened at this moment made most people's minds a little confused.
Although "War of the Worlds" has encountered some troubles and encountered some doubts from players, it will undoubtedly become the most popular game in the world. By the end of the year, the most popular game in the past five years will be "World War". At this time, Lin Feng went to buy "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" and spent 500 million US dollars. This is not a brain twitch. If you have this spare money, it would be more cost-effective to spend it on "War of the Worlds".
Although Lin Feng's move was to retaliate against his opponent, it seemed a bit stupid.
As for "gm13" giving up "Heroes of the Galaxy" so freely and turning to the now globally popular movie "Harry Potter", the outside world has unanimously praised it. I think that "gm13" has really manipulated Lin Feng this time and used Lin Feng's money to strengthen itself, which can be described as cunning and cunning.
Ginger is indeed old and spicy!
Lin Feng doesn't care about the comments from outsiders that he is stupid because he has too much money. On the contrary, Lin Feng had a weird look on his face when he heard that "gm13" was planning to open "Harry Potter".
It's time to collect!
"Soros, how are the stock prices of 'EA', 'Ubisoft' and 'Nintendo' now?" Lin Feng asked.
"Boss, the stock prices of the three companies have begun to rebound strongly after experiencing the successful public beta test of "War of the Worlds". This time you spent 500 million US dollars to buy "Heroes of the Galaxy". Being taken advantage of is not a small deal for the three of them. of assistance.
"Soros looked at the data lines of the three companies and said.
Lin Feng nodded.
"How many shares do we hold in the three companies now?" Lin Feng asked.
"Boss, for now, after a period of absorption, we hold a total of 10,000 shares of 'EA', 10,000 shares of 'Ubisoft', and 10,000 shares of 'Nintendo'." Soros said, "But maybe they have noticed our The acquisition is underway.”
"Haha, it's okay. It's useless to be discovered by them now." Lin Feng chuckled.
Regarding "gm13", Lin Feng laid out a big picture for it from the beginning and has been waiting for the day of closure. Now it's time for this plan to come to an end.
"I am ready to fully acquire three game companies, 'EA', 'Ubisoft' and 'Nintendo', as a supplement to my company's stand-alone game market!" Lin Feng held a press conference and announced in a high profile.
scare! Lin Feng's declaration on stage immediately detonated the entire audience. Originally, the outside world was still commenting that Lin Feng spent 500 million US dollars to buy "Galaxy Heroes ne" because many people are stupid. However, "gm13" sold "Galaxy Heroes ne" and took the opportunity to open "Harry Potter ne". A wonderful move.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng made a comprehensive acquisition, such a terrifying thing.
"Mr. Lin, what is your intention to fully acquire the three companies? Are you sure about acquiring the three companies?" asked a reporter from The Times.
"Haha, what is the intention? I just said that the three companies can very well complement our company's stand-alone game market. Although "World War" is very popular, there are still players who prefer stand-alone games rather than online games. In order to be able to make Players around the world like our company's games, and I think it is very necessary to acquire three companies." Lin Feng said righteously.
However, all reporters did not believe Lin Feng's words. In their view, Lin Feng's announcement of the comprehensive acquisition of three companies was an act of revenge for the previous "gm13" sale of "Galaxy Heroes ne" for US$500 million, which made Lin Feng embarrassed. As for whether we are sure, in my opinion, it is absolutely possible to acquire three companies. I have money! " Lin Feng said looking down at all living beings.
Hold! Lin Feng is going to use his extra money to get revenge! ——When many reporters saw Lin Feng’s look and tone, they immediately concluded that Lin Feng was definitely not angry about being retaliated by “gm13” for making $500 million.
This is exciting!
Lin Feng held a press conference, and the three companies on the other side had received the news immediately.
"The arrogant supporter actually threatened to acquire three of our companies. Humph, he is simply desperate!" Satoru Iwata said coldly.
"But this guy is indeed very rich. The living money in his hands is more than the total assets of any of our three companies!" Although Peter Moore was angry about Lin Feng's arrogant behavior, he was also a little helpless.
Currently, "GM" ranks first with a market value of US$300 million, while "Nintendo" ranks second with US$100 million. As for "Ubisoft", it only has less than US$100 million. It is the smallest among the three giants of "GM13", but its reputation But not much less than "ea" and "Nintendo".
"Don't worry, if Lin Feng announced such a comprehensive acquisition before, we might not be able to withstand it. But now that we have established the 'gm13' alliance, using the power of the entire alliance, Lin Feng will never be an opponent." Iwata said disdainfully .
In the "gm13" alliance, in addition to the wealthy "Nintendo" and "EA", there are also "NY" who are not far behind, and the super giant "Microsoft". Of course, it is only the game department, but even though it is the game department, After all, it is owned by "Microsoft", not to mention old companies such as "Sega". The combined assets of many companies are more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Facing Lin Feng, relying on the power of the alliance, it is absolutely possible to win the war. of.
Therefore, Satoru Iwata is not worried at all.
"Then let's have a meeting and discuss it!" Peter Moore also agreed with Iwata's statement and immediately convened an emergency meeting.
"gm13" companies gathered together using online video tools.
"Everyone, now Lin Feng has announced that he will acquire three of our companies. Although it has nothing to do with you, I hope you understand the meaning of death." Peter Moore said.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and nodded. Lin Feng is so strong. If they don't unite, they will be defeated by Lin Feng sooner or later. By then, the "gm13" organization they established will become a complete joke.
Of course, there are also companies among everyone who disagree with Peter Moore's words. This company is naturally the "Microsoft Game Division". In his opinion, even if Lin Feng defeated "gm13", he would not be able to shake "Microsoft". "Microsoft" now firmly occupies the world's number one software company, which is not something that little Lin Feng can shake. Of course, the representative of "Microsoft Game Development" would not say these words. If he said these words, it would seem that he is too mentally retarded. Using the power of "gm13" to deal with Lin Feng is also a good choice.
After all, the relationship between Lin Feng and "Microsoft" is not very harmonious. (Due to Ellison's relationship, the relationship between Lin Feng and "Microsoft" has dropped to a freezing point. If the two sides had not had much interaction, I am afraid that the outside world would have speculated on the relationship between the two parties.) After some discussions, the "gm13" organization It was agreed to mobilize a total of 12.5 billion US dollars in alliance funds, and Lin Feng snapped up stocks on the market to ensure that the three companies would not be forced to buy by Lin Feng.
After this move came out, the stock prices of the three companies "EA", "Nintendo" and "Ubisoft" skyrocketed one after another. After all, the outside world has always known that Lin Feng is the kind of person who will never give up until he achieves his goals. Since Lin Feng announced that he will acquire three companies, he will definitely acquire them. No matter how much money is spent, Lin Feng will definitely acquire them. In addition, "gm13" will definitely protect the three companies from being acquired by Lin Feng. In this case, it would be strange if the stock price does not rise.
Since the stock price is going to rise, both retail investors and investment institutions will naturally take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make whatever they can.
Immediately afterwards, we saw the stock prices of the three companies "EA", "Nintendo" and "Ubisoft" skyrocketing. In just two days, the stock prices of the three companies rose by 25%.
"Haha, let me see how Lin Feng is still buying three of our companies!" Satoru Iwata laughed wildly. Today, the market value of "Nintendo" has reached 22.5 billion US dollars, although compared with the assets owned by Lin Feng, it is far behind. But now there are very few stocks left on the market. If Lin Feng wants to continue to acquire, he must pay 2 times or even 3 times the price to acquire them at a high price. Otherwise, who would sell stocks knowing that they are going to rise.
Satoru Iwata wants to see how much money Lin Feng has to buy stocks!
Satoru Iwata is waiting and watching, the "gm13" organization is waiting and watching, all retail investors and investment institutions are waiting and watching, the world is waiting and watching, they want to know whether Lin Feng will make an acquisition.
But at this moment, Lin Feng announced in a high-profile manner that he would temporarily give up the acquisition of shares in "EA", "Nintendo", and "Ubisoft", and immediately sold out all the shares in all three companies.
"Sorry, everyone, I failed to acquire 'ea', 'Nintendo', and 'Ubisoft' this time, but this time I made 1.2 billion US dollars! Not bad!" Lin Feng swept his sleeves and said easily .
The whole world is dumbfounded!
